Chapter 49: Spatial Ring, Fled When Caught

Today, Meng Lei, Fatty Hart, and Daniel ate and drank at Juxian Restaurant, venting out the pain and hardships they had experienced over the last six months, as well as celebrating the upcoming winter vacation. They helped themselves to generous portions of meat and wine, experiencing a joy that they had not felt before!

However, when the three of them walked out of the restaurant, Fatty Hart had a tearful and painful expression on his face!

He had spent a lot on this meal. His savings were... completely gone!

“Fatty, don’t feel bad!”

Meng Lei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Isn’t it just over 10,000 gold coins? I will treat you next semester!”

“Brother, don’t you know?” Fatty Hart shook his head and wailed. “My old man only gives me 20,000 gold coins per month for pocket money, and I have already spent more than half of it as soon as it arrived. How am I able to survive this winter vacation?”

,000 gold coins?

Pocket money?

Meng Lei felt that deep malice people usually had toward nobility.

What the hell!

He had to run around all the time and risk his life at the arena every few days, just to earn slightly over 20,000 gold coins per month!

Fatty, you have a good life! You have so much pocket money every month!

Indeed, comparing yourself to others would only create unwanted frustrations!

“Although the bill was high, the food at Juxian Restaurant is really delicious, especially the garlic-flavored barbecued Sun Moon Divine Frog, which is really memorable. We enjoyed it so much that we didn’t want to leave!” Daniel licked his lips, revealing a satisfied look as he recalled the taste of the dish.

Fatty Hart gritted his teeth and said angrily, “That goes without saying! The Sun Moon Divine Frog is a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast, and each one costs 30,000 gold coins. That barbecued Sun Moon Divine Frog earlier cost me more than 4,300 gold coins!”

“Hehe! The price is indeed outrageous!” Daniel chuckled.

He knew that Fatty Hart had just spent a lot of money and was depressed, so he did not say anything more. Although Fatty Hart was a noble, he was a student, after all. He had spent more than 20,000 gold coins for a meal, which was indeed outrageous!

“A Seventh-Grade Sun Moon Divine Frog is worth 30,000 gold coins!?”

Meng Lei’s heart trembled. This was not a small amount. According to his conversion, this was worth 3,000 Attribute Points!

,000!

Meng Lei’s eyes widened!

“The Sun Moon Divine Frog was a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast. Generally, the price for Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts begins with 100,000 gold coins. However, prices could differ due to taste, size, and effects!”

Fatty Hart said in a bored tone, “The Sun Moon Divine Frog is delicious and a rare delicacy. However, due to its small size, the whole Sun Moon Divine Frog’s price is not high. It costs only about 30,000 gold coins. Other Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts could fetch more than this!”

“Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts begin with 100,000 gold coins?” Meng Lei’s eyes brightened. “If we can hunt down a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast, wouldn’t we make a windfall?”

“Yes, you may make a windfall, but it’s too dangerous!” When Fatty Hart heard what Meng Lei said, he couldn’t help but shiver. “These Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts are terrifying. They are not something we can deal with. Brother, you should drop the idea!”

“Haha, I was just mentioning it casually. Please, don’t take me seriously!”

...

After leaving the restaurant, Fatty Hart and Daniel returned to the academy to pack their things, while Meng Lei went to the Magic Device Market. This time round, he was not here to pick up attributes, but to buy magic devices!

It was winter vacation, and he would return to Magical Beast Village. Of course, he would enter the Magical Beast Forest to train, hunt, and kill magical beasts, pick up attributes and magic cores, and earn gold coins!

Fatty Hart’s words had enlightened Meng Lei. Not only were the magic cores valuable, but the corpses of magical beasts were as well. Clearly, they shouldn’t be thrown away, or else it would be a huge waste!

Hence, Meng Lei needed a magic device to store the magical beasts’ corpses!

“Ding! Dropped item discovered. Will you pick it up?”

“Ding! Assimilation successful. Host’s Wealth +18!”

The Magic Device Market... was a very big place, like the electrical appliances markets back on Earth. It was divided into many areas. Meng Lei went straight to the area where spatial magic devices were sold and walked into a shop!

“Lord Magician, welcome to our shop!”

A hot and sexy fox girl, who was the shop assistant, bowed and greeted Meng Lei with a smile. Her breasts in front of her chest matched her fluffy red tail, looking very alluring!

“Fox girl?”

Meng Lei glanced at the fox girl assistant, resisting the urge to stare. He turned his gaze on the pieces of spatial magic devices displayed in the crystal cabinet and asked, “Assistant, what kind of spatial magic devices do you have?”

“Lord Magician, our spatial magic devices are mainly divided into three types—spatial bracelets, spatial rings, and spatial belts!”

The fox girl assistant smiled sweetly; her voice was clear and sweet. “I wonder which type are you looking for, Lord Magician?”

“The spatial ring!” Meng Lei said after giving it some thought.

“Our spatial rings are divided into three grades according to their storage size. We have 10 cubic meters, 50 cubic meters, and 100 cubic meters. How much space do you need?”

“100 cubic meters then!”

Meng Lei raised his eyebrows in response to her question. Of course, the larger the spatial ring, the better because more items could be stored inside. The truth couldn’t be simpler!

“Lord Magician, look at this ring!”

The fox girl assistant took out a transparent box with a black ring that was encrusted with a red diamond. “This is a spatial ring from the Devotion series. It comes with 119 cubic meters of storage space. Its details are exquisite, and its lines are sharp. Pure elegance, classic beauty, inlaid with the Hongling diamond...”

“Stop!” Meng Lei interrupted the fox girl who was talking non-stop. “How much does this cost?”

“Lord Magician, the original price of this spatial ring was 15,340,000 gold coins. But you are very lucky. Our store is currently having a sale. There is a 20% discount for this spatial ring of the Devotion series...”

,340,000 gold coins...

The corners of Meng Lei’s mouth twitched. “I think you better talk about the 50-cubic-meter spatial ring!”

Upon hearing this, disappointment flashed across the fox girl’s eyes. When she had seen Meng Lei, who was a handsome man with graceful mannerism and dressed in magic robes, she had thought he was some aristocratic Magician with generous spending power. Little did she expect he was a poor useless ghost!

Crap!

She was overjoyed for nothing!

Even so, the fox girl concealed her thoughts that arose from the bottom of her heart, and said with a sweet smile, “Lord Magician, 50 cubic meters of storage space is a moderate amount, hence the prices are relatively favorable as well. They start from around 1,500,000 to 5,800,000 gold coins and beyond...”

“...”

The corners of Meng Lei’s mouth twitched as sweat appeared on his forehead. “How much is the cheapest spatial ring in your store?”

“...?”

The fox girl was stunned. She pointed at a spatial ring placed at the bottom of the crystal cabinet and said, “This is the cheapest spatial ring in this store. It has a 1-cubic-meter storage space, and the original price is 190,000 gold coins. If you want—”

“Forget it! I don’t want any of these!”

Meng Lei left the shop with cold sweat on his forehead as if he was fleeing from it!

Damm*t, even the cheapest spatial ring cost 190,000 gold coins. This is a robbery!

190,000 gold coins?

Even if I sell myself, I can’t even fetch so many gold coins!

“Poor ghost! You shouldn’t be shopping if you don’t have money!”
