Chapter 12: Another Companion
"Come on! Just a bit more...!"
Xu Tao had lost track of time. The small space he was in was now filled to the brim with junk.
As for his original target—the Storage Rings—he had already collected fifteen of them. Fourteen were Rare, while one stood out as SSR, boasting a capacity as vast as a mansion.
The so-called "junk" surrounding him was just the excess from rolling non-stop. He’d been so obsessed with pulling more items that he hadn’t even bothered to organize them into his massive new ring.
"Fuck! Another miss...!"
Yet another 10x roll wasted—nothing but random junk.
It had been like this for the past several pulls, making him feel like Fate itself was mocking him. For a moment, he regained some calm and took a deep breath.
"Phew..." He steadied his breathing and cleared his mind.
Then, he began tidying the mountain of items, feeding everything into the SSR Storage Ring. Thankfully, it came with a special feature: it could absorb nearby items based solely on proximity, the user’s will—and a string of Qi.
"PUI!!!"
With righteous vengeance, Pepe sprang out and head-butted Xu Tao in the stomach—not that it hurt at all.
