Song Jian slowly walked towards Building 9 of the New Garden Residential Area, which had almost become a Novice Village. All the monsters in the area had been cleared out, and new players wielding weapons could be seen everywhere, going in and out of the high-rise buildings.
Seeing so many new players, Song Jian felt a sense of unease in his heart.
New players rarely dared to directly hunt monsters on the streets when they first came out. Most of them would start by
Reaching inside, he pulled out stacks of cash. Each bill had a face value of too, and there were dozens of stacks, totaling to about several hundred thousand.
However, after the apocalypse, even the “government” no longer existed, and these paper bills, based on government credit, had become worthless piles of paper.
Behind the large stacks of cash, Song Jian found three wooden boxes. They were dark red with a thick layer of patina. In the real world, these three boxes alone would be valuable.
Opening the first wooden box, a blue jade necklace caught his eye. Song Jian’s face lit up with joy, but after checking the properties of the necklace, he discovered it was just an ordinary piece of jewelry that couldn’t be taken out of the game. His interest waned, and he put it into his inventory.
“With this item, all I need to do is figure out how to mail it, and I can get the Sword Finger’ Skill Book.” Song Jian was pleased.
Opening the second wooden box, he found a ring. The ring appeared dull and had a wood-like texture, looking like a wooden ring.
Checking the properties, Song Jian gasped. The ring was actually the legendary Storage Ring.
“Storage Ring (Blue): Ring, equipped effect, obtain eight storage spaces. Usage effect, expand player’s inventory, the number of expanded slots is random, ranging from at least one slot to a maximum of six slots!”
If used as equipment, the ring would occupy one ring jewelry slot, and each player’s equipment slots could only wear two rings. Song Jian was already wearing a Ring of Strength, while the other ring slot was empty, perfect for equipping this one.
Once Song Jian had a better ring, this Storage Ring could be used to expand his inventory slots, preventing any waste.
“I’ve always felt that sixteen inventory slots were too small. It’s like a dream come true!” Song Jian immediately equipped the ring, instantly gaining eight additional inventory slots.
Opening the third wooden box, he found a book inside. The cover was made of cowhide and featured a monster’s portrait on it.
“Horns growing on its head, red skin, sunken cheeks, and the eyes that revealed a vicious and malicious expression… It looks like the demon from Hell in legends…” Song Jian picked up the book and stroked the cover thoughtfully.
As Song Jian s fingers slid over the demon portrait, he could feel the slightly raised image, as if it was originally part of the cowhide cover.
“Surrender your soul, and I shall grant you immense power…” A whisper sounded in his ear, and Song Jian looked bewildered for a moment before quickly coming to his senses.
System: You were tempted by rhe demon; but your passive talent “Thick Face” activates, making you immune to the demon’s temptation.
“As I thought, this is not something ordinary people can touch!” Seeing rhe system prompt, Song Jian was so frightened that he nearly threw the book out of his hand. lie forced himself to suppress the urge, put the book back in his inventory, and decided to study the book’s content when he returned to his manor.
Just then, Song Jian suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the door, as if someone was sneaking into the room.
