Chapter 144: Preparing To Move

Bei Feng was completely speechless. The fishing line was only half-broken and the cut was barely one-millimeter deep. Yet, the System was demanding 30,000 experience points to fix it?!
'Wouldn't that mean that my fishing experience this time is completely gone? Furthermore, I still need to compensate for the difference myself!' Bei Feng made some mental calculations. Originally, he could have advanced to a level 3 Fisherman with the experience gained from this fishing attempt. But if he proceeded with the repairs, he would be even further from advancement than before, requiring 5,420 experience points more before he could advance!
”Repair!”
Bei Feng cursed secretly as he issued the command. This System was simply too scheming. What was called market monopolization? This was! Not to mention 30,000 experience points, even if it demanded for 300,000 experience points, he could only swallow his curses and pay up!
Bei Feng's experience bar plummeted drastically. In an instant, it dropped to 94,580! A white light suddenly appeared around the White Jade Fishing Rod.
The entire White Jade Fishing Rod was wrapped in the white light, appearing extremely mystical.
”Ding! Repair complete!”
The System's monotone voice sounded again after just 1 second.
Bei Feng's face turned completely black. That was it? 'This is a d*mn scam! It's too obvious!'
He picked up the fishing rod and recalled it back into his body. Finally, he turned his attention to the beautiful brocade box.
A single silvery white ring lay within the brocade box. The ring had a simple design, but there were many intricate patterns on its sides. At a glance, the patterns seemed to be part of the ring in the first place, and not something added later. There wasn't any marks typical of a manually made engraving at all.
Bei Feng dripped a drop of blood from his already bleeding finger onto the ring. The blood turned into a fine red stream which ran along the patterns on the ring, forming a complete circle around the ring!
Picking it up gingerly, he slipped on the ring which fitted perfectly on the ring finger of his right hand.
Immediately after, he inserted his mental power into the ring. As soon as his mental power touched the ring, Bei Feng fell into a momentary daze. A 30-cubic-meter empty space had appeared in his perception.
”What an amazing Spatial Ring! A small ring like this actually contains such a huge space!”
Bei Feng mumbled with shock. The more he experienced, the more he realized how insignificant he was!
This Mt Meru and the mustard seed kind of logic was extremely strange and was akin to a divine stroke to Bei Feng! With Earth's current technology, perhaps they would not be able to engineer something like this after a few hundred or a few thousand years!
Bei Feng began to grow more excited. Wrapping his mental power around the objects three meters around himself, he suddenly willed, ”Keep!” He waited, but the objects around him remained motionless.
”Eh?” Bei Feng scratched his head with puzzlement. 'That's not the effect I was hoping for...why won't it be absorbed into the ring?'
Bei Feng stooped down and touched a small stone before giving a mental command with his mind again.
In an instant, the stone disappeared and appeared within the spatial ring.
His eyes lit up. Could it be that he had to be touching the item for it to be kept inside the spatial ring?
He experimented a few more times before confirming the theory. Only objects which he was touching could be kept into the spatial ring.
Bei Feng was like a child who had just gotten his hands on a new toy. The little fox was also jumping around Bei Feng's body with excitement. Seeing the objects around Bei Feng disappearing and appearing again, it was incredibly curious too.
It ran around Bei Feng, sniffing endlessly at his clothes with puzzlement before looking up at Bei Feng as though it was asking, ”Where are you hiding the stuff?!”
