Chapter 5: Yu Xiaogang: Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Xiao Wu lowered her head slowly, her two index fingers circling each other.

"Ye Lin, let's discuss something."

Ye Lin looked at Xiao Wu with a smile, already knowing what Xiao Wu was thinking. "What is it?"

Xiao Wu was a bit embarrassed. "Your bedding is so big, can we use it together?"

"It's possible, but..."

"Wow, Ye Lin, you're the best."

"But..."

"But what?"

"Call me Sister Lin."

"Ah, this..."

"If you don't call me that, forget it. I see this bed board is quite hard."

"I'll call you that, okay?" Xiao Wu pouted and said in a low voice, "Sister Lin..."

"Hahaha, I almost cried. Alright, alright, let's use it together."

After making the bed, it was time for a meal. Wang Sheng said, "Boss, Xiao Wu, Ye Lin, let's go eat."

But soon, Wang Sheng asked a question and saw the three of them were short of money.

He said generously, "Today, consider it my treat. Next time, I'll have you treat me back."

Tang San hesitated for a moment and agreed. Xiao Wu originally wanted to agree happily, but Ye Lin pulled her sleeve, and Xiao Wu stopped talking immediately.

Ye Lin smiled and refused Wang Sheng's kindness.

"You guys go ahead; we're not hungry, we're on a diet."

"Alright."

Wang Sheng was a bit helpless and took the other work-study students along with Tang San toward the cafeteria.

"Sister Lin, why didn't we go?"

Xiao Wu asked, somewhat puzzled. Her stomach had already started growling; it was a lie to say she wasn't hungry.

"I'm actually a bit hungry; I haven't eaten for a long time."

"Don't worry, I'll take you to eat in a while."

Ye Lin estimated that things over at the cafeteria were already over, and only then did she take Xiao Wu slowly toward the cafeteria.

At this time, there were very few people in the cafeteria, but relatively speaking, there wasn't much food left, but this didn't affect anything.

Ye Lin went straight to the second floor and slapped a Gold Soul Coin on the serving window.

"Prepare something delicious."

The person inside was overjoyed and looked at the Gold Soul Coin, still a bit unsure. "Two young ladies, please wait a moment; we'll prepare it immediately and bring it to you."

Xiao Wu had a big question mark in her little head. "Sister Lin, why didn't we go just now? You have so much money, why do you still have to be sneaky?"

"Silly child, do you understand being low-key?"

"Oh," Xiao Wu nodded, half-understanding.

When the two returned to the dormitory, Wang Sheng and Tang San asked suspiciously, "Ye Lin, Xiao Wu, what did you go do?"

Ye Lin said casually,

"Suddenly felt hungry, so we went to eat a bit."

"Hmm," Tang San continued, "Just now my foster father told me that tomorrow he'll take me to obtain my first spirit ring. Foster father told me I must bring you along."

"Then thank him for me," Ye Lin smiled slightly and agreed directly.

This was just right. She just happened to need a spirit ring. If she bought it from the point store, she would need to save quite a few points, and following Tang San and Yu Xiaogang would allow her to continue completing daily tasks. Why not?

At night, Ye Lin instructed Xiao Wu to go to the second-floor window to order food when the meal time was almost over.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, two large and one small figure slowly left the gate of Notting Academy.

After shopping in Notting City, Yu Xiaogang hired a carriage and took them toward the Hunting Forest.

Along the way, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San could be said to be talking endlessly. Yu Xiaogang kept introducing spirit rings, colors, and types of spirit beasts, making Tang San extremely worshipful, and Yu Xiaogang was also very much enjoying it.

However, Ye Lin was different; she was just quietly cultivating.

Yu Xiaogang was also puzzled looking at Ye Lin's appearance. She wasn't interested in his invincible theory?

She was completely the opposite of Tang San.

How could he make her take him as a master?

Such a good test subject absolutely could not be given up.

Or was her personality just like this?

Not interested on the surface, but very eager inside.

Yu Xiaogang fantasized, she must be that kind of person!

Then I'll take out something practical and see if you can still pretend.

He took out a belt that looked very beautiful from somewhere, with twenty-four milky-white gemstones inlaid on it.

"This is a storage spirit guidance device; it's gathering dust here."

"You just need to inject spirit power to use it. Each of its gemstones can provide one cubic meter of storage space."

Tang San took the belt directly.

"Thank you, foster father!"

He could be said to be very happy; wasn't this the place to store hidden weapons in the future?

While speaking, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Ye Lin. This indeed attracted her interest, but why did she seem to look down on this belt?

Was that a look of disdain?

Yu Xiaogang didn't see it wrong; that was disdain.

If someone else looked down on it, he would have no waves in his heart, but when someone he cared about looked down on it, it instantly caused a sensation in his heart.

Ye Lin thought to herself, the Na Ring could provide ten thousand cubic meters of storage space, and she didn't say anything.

No, she had to suppress Yu Xiaogang's arrogant spirit.

【Yu Xiaogang gave a belt to Tang San, and that belt was inlaid with twenty-four jade stones, each of which could provide one cubic meter of storage space...】

The system's modification of a character wasn't just a simple modification; it also included adding a character and deleting a character.

Ye Lin tried adding a character, and one character was enough to make Yu Xiaogang's mentality collapse.

"Xiao San, try injecting spirit power to use the spirit guidance device to put the radish you bought inside."

Yu Xiaogang said to his foster son Tang San, and the half-sentence he didn't say was to show her the magic of the storage spirit guidance device.

"Hmm," Tang San nodded excitedly; he was also very curious about this unknown thing.

He slowly injected a wisp of spirit power into it, while locking onto a white radish he wanted to put inside.

But clearly, the white radish had no reaction at all.

"What's going on?" Yu Xiaogang frowned. "This spirit guidance device is very simple."

Tang San was a bit awkward. "Foster father, I just feel that this white radish can't be put in; the space inside isn't enough."

"Not enough?"

"I feel... each gemstone can store at most one drop of water."

"This is impossible!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed and snatched the belt from Tang San's hand.

"Even if it's not enough for one cubic meter, it's impossible for it to be as small as a drop of water."

"It must be that your usage method is wrong."

"Watch carefully, I'll show you."

He held the belt in his hand, shook it, and slowly injected a wisp of spirit power into it.

"Hmm?!"

The expression on Yu Xiaogang's face froze instantly; the usage method must be wrong.

Inject spirit power!

Withdraw spirit power!

Inject!

Withdraw!

Repeating the cycle, the space was only as small as a drop of water.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Yu Xiaogang kept pondering, which link went wrong... ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
