Legend of the Heroes of Another World's Divine Tower

Chapter 25 Storage Ring and the Black Heart Summoning System

[Divine Tower - Auspicious Symbiotic Soul (Orange): Can be transformed into corresponding equipment according to the climber's wishes; the effect is affected by the rank.]

Just as Zhou Yanyu's finger was about to touch the ball of soul fire, the Divine Tower system window popped up.

"Oh? As you wish, as you wish, just as I want!" Upon seeing this description, Zhou Yanyu instantly had a classic thought pop into his mind. Without thinking, he immediately placed his hand on the Soul Fire.

The ball of soul fire suddenly contracted and deformed, instantly condensing into an ancient-style ring with a faint orange glow.

"A ring? Not a weapon?!" Lin Chi watched from the side, feeling like he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. How could such a miraculous soul fire turn into a ring?

"Lin boy, you don't understand!" Zhou Yanyu's eyes lit up as if he had seen some priceless treasure. He quickly put the ring on his hand, and then without hesitation, bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and smeared it on the ring.

"This is a legendary auxiliary artifact in the world of Chinese online literature—a storage ring! An essential item for home, travel, murder, and robbery!"

The ring flashed with a faint light, and with a thought, Zhou Yanyu's backpack vanished into thin air.

"This...?" Lin Chi stared blankly.

"Oh, just read the system instructions yourself!" Zhou Yanyu said smugly, shaking the ring on his finger.

Lin Chi quickly focused his mind and accessed the Divine Tower System to check the detailed information about the ring.

【Divine Tower - Storage Ring (Orange Grade): A fictional item commonly found in online novels, it has the function of freely storing and retrieving items. Its storage space is 10,000 cubic meters, and it is activated through a blood oath ceremony.】

"What?!" Lin Chi, who had never encountered the concept of "online novels" before, was directly stunned by this simple, crude, and incredible description of the function. His mouth was slightly open, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Scared stiff, aren't you?" Zhou Yanyu became even more smug, his tail practically wagging in the air. "The storage ring's function isn't just for storing things! Have you ever heard the story of 'Grandpa Storage Ring'? This ring can also nurture and temporarily accommodate souls! Try crawling in!" As he spoke, another thought popped into his head.

While still in a daze, Lin Chi felt a suction force coming from him, and with a "whoosh," his soul was drawn into a special space inside the ring.

"How about it? If you encounter an enemy who can see or harm your soul, just hide here. It's safe and secluded!" Zhou Yanyu put his hands on his hips, threw his head back, and let out a classic villainous laugh, "Hahaha!"

Lin Chi rushed out of the ring, looked at the ring with a complicated expression, then at Zhou Yanyu who was laughing wildly. A hint of amazement and admiration flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it and returned to his usual indifferent expression.

"Hmm...it's alright, I guess." He turned his head away and said in a deliberately indifferent manner.

"Stop pretending! I knew you were totally impressed! Hahaha!" Zhou Yanyu continued his maniacal laughter.

"Alright, stop laughing. Let's see what's going on with that 'Supreme Summoner' system," Lin Chi urged, also curious about this so-called "cheat".

Zhou Yanyu stopped laughing and opened the interface of the [Supreme Summoner System] with great anticipation.

Then, the excited smile on his face froze instantly, quickly turning black, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

The first thing you see is a gorgeous and flashy card-drawing interface.

At the top of the screen, a striking illustration of a beautiful girl wearing a pink mushroom hat, holding a heart-shaped bow, with a hot figure, and throwing a flirtatious glance at you, is prominently displayed. Next to her is the label "This season's SSS-rank featured summon - Enchanting Archer".

[Summoning - Summoning Pool: Randomly draws summoned creatures. One draw costs 100 Summoning Stones. The featured SSS-level summoned creature changes every quarter.]

"No!!! Gacha pull!!!" Zhou Yanyu cried out in anguish, his expression shifting from anticipation to utter despair. "So this is what 'dramatic' acquisition means?! The 'MiGi' pool! That damned MiGi' pool! How did it get here?!"

"What's wrong? This looks pretty interesting." Lin Chi, an innocent boy who had never experienced the hell of "pay-to-win gacha" in the 21st century, leaned closer to look at the interface with great interest, finding this "summoning" method quite novel.

"Interesting? This is an abyss! A bottomless pit!" Zhou Yanyu cried out in anguish. "Wait, there seems to be another way to obtain it?" He spotted another option on the side.

[Summoning - Pet Market: A market for purchasing summoned creatures, with 5 slots and a maximum level of 10. Your level affects the level of the summoned creatures that refresh. It refreshes once a day and can be refreshed for 100 * 2^(refresh times) summoning stones.]

"Oh! I can buy it directly! That's good!" Zhou Yanyu felt like he had grasped a lifeline and breathed a sigh of relief, but when his gaze shifted down and he saw the bottom line of small print, his vision went black.

[Summoning Market Notes: SSS-rank summons will not spawn]

"This is outrageous!!!" Zhou Yanyu completely broke down. He controlled Lin Chi's body, actually lying down on the ground and starting to throw a tantrum. "Forced spending! Blatant forced spending! You heartless system! I want to complain!!"

Lin Chi looked at the disheveled, wailing uncle on the ground, and was first taken aback, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He shook his head, and with a thought, his soul returned to its place and took over his body.

"Alright, alright, calm down and go inside to rest for a while." Lin Chi said, as he shoved the still wailing Zhou Yanyu's soul into his storage ring without further ado. "Now, watch my moves!"

Lin Chi revealed the same slightly cunning and excited smile as Zhou Yanyu, as a brilliant idea that could quickly level up clearly emerged in his mind.

All the "experience bottles" accumulated by those idiots in the camp are stored in the "treasure room" of the mansion! He had gone to "count" them with Crazy before, and there were at least a thousand bottles inside!

In addition, there are various combat consumables, materials... If you're lucky, you might even find a few "level breakthrough stones" that people don't need or can't collect enough of!

Before, we could only look on with envy, but now with this magical "storage ring," we can just grab everything and run away with the money!

"I'll study this summoning system later when I have 'Summoning Stones'! Right now, improving my strength is the priority!"

Lin Chi became more and more excited as he thought about it, feeling the long-lost youthful passion surge up again. He tightened his black cloak, put on his mask, and looked towards the camp with shining eyes.

"Brother Yu! Let's go 'move'! You'll miss out on this great show if you hide in your ring and 'isolate' yourself!"

"What?! 'Zero-dollar purchase'?! How could I miss out on such a great deal!" Zhou Yanyu's thoughts immediately echoed from the ring, his voice filled with excitement, completely devoid of his previous frustration. "But safety first, I won't come out. Let's try to avoid our souls leaving our bodies and wandering around aimlessly in the future!"

"Okay!" Lin Chi nodded vigorously.

As he approached the camp again, dawn was breaking. The deep darkness that had enveloped the area had long since dissipated, and the rising sun barely pierced through the mist, casting a faint glow over the front yard. Several early-rising bandits were already lazily patrolling or cleaning up the mess from the previous night.

But Lin Chi today is a completely different person from before!

He lowered his body, and with a thought, he activated his Hurricane Form!
