Chapter 18: Space Compression Spell

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under normal circumstances, the equipment that the monsters inside the mine could drop were iron and bronze quality.

Su Ce was pretty lucky. Through quantitative change, he obtained a few pieces of silver-quality equipment.

Currently, the equipment in circulation and in the Professional market were all of iron, bronze, and silver-quality.

Gold or even platinum-quality equipment could only be found in various auction houses or shops backed by large families.

As for epic, legendary, and divine equipment that ordinary people couldn’t see at all, they could probably only be bought through transactions between individuals.

After all, a piece of epic equipment usually cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ordinary Professionals couldn’t afford them.

As for Su Ce, even though he had emptied the entire mine of monsters, he had only obtained two pieces of silver-quality equipment. This was enough to show how precious gold and platinum-quality equipment were.

He picked out a few pieces of the highest-quality equipment from his inventory and put them on. Soon, he turned his attention to some other special drops.

Lowering his body and listening to the whistling wind, Su Ce said excitedly, “Tsk tsk… Looks like we’re in luck this time. We actually obtained three skill books!”

Sometimes, a skill book with a powerful effect was even more precious than a piece of platinum-quality equipment.

The reason for this phenomenon was that skill books were relatively rare.

There were very limited ways to learn skills. Under normal circumstances, if a Professional wanted to learn new skills, they could only automatically comprehend them through leveling up or advancing ranks.

A small number of people could also automatically comprehend new skills in life-threatening battles.

But comprehending skills through this method could only rely on talent or randomness.

If people were unlucky, they might not even be able to learn a few combat skills after becoming Rank 2.

The second way to obtain skills was to have fortuitous encounters.

For example, if someone obtained an elixir or was lucky enough to go to a grotto-heaven, perhaps this person could obtain a skill after meditating for just a few minutes.

The Dragon Blood Potion that Su Ce had taken earlier was a kind of elixir.

But both of these methods required a certain amount of luck.

The last method could guarantee that Professionals would acquire new skills 100%.

It was to use skill books.

But the only way to obtain skill books was to grind monsters and hope they dropped.

Moreover, because the drop rate of skill books was quite low, the price was accordingly high.

Regarding some basic skills, it wasn’t too bad. The prices were generally below 10,000 dollars.

But for high-level skills with powerful effects, they could cost as much as tens of millions.

It was because of this reason that most Professionals with ordinary backgrounds were just cannon fodder.

They didn’t have any high-quality equipment or powerful skills.

Facing slightly higher-leveled monsters, even escaping became a difficult task.

Looking at the three skill books lying in his inventory, Su Ce immediately checked them one by one.

[Advanced Skill: Level 1 Bloodline Connection (Active)]

Prerequisite: Rank 1 Mage

Effect: The user can fuse with the bloodline of a contracted creature and obtain 15% of the contracted creature’s attribute points for a short period of time.

[Specialized Skill: Level 1 Dragon’s Pressure (Passive)]

Prerequisite: Rank 1 Dragon Tamer

Effect: When encountering a powerful monster, it will automatically take effect. The user produces mighty dragon pressure, causing nearby creatures to tremble and convulse. Cooldown: 30 minutes

[Advanced Skill: Powerful Shooting]

Prerequisite: Rank 1 Archer and Assassin

Effect: Fire three enhanced arrows, dealing 0.8x, 1.2x, and 1.6x physical damage to the enemy. Cooldown: 1 hour. Mana Cost: 40 points. Note: Can only be used with bows or crossbows.

The three skills lying quietly in his inventory all had very good effects.

But because Su Ce could only use two of them, he planned to sell the Powerful Shooting skill book.

As for the other two skill books with powerful effects, because he had yet to become Rank 1, he couldn’t learn them for the time being.

Riding on the Red Dragon King, Su Ce glided down from the mountain peak. Only then did he realize that the entire mine was empty.

Even the security guards in charge of guarding the ores and maintaining the security of the mine had disappeared completely.

Perhaps because these people had left in a hurry, Su Ce discovered that many ores had been casually discarded on the ground outside the mine. After being steamed at high temperatures, many ores had shed their rocky shells and became shiny.

After picking up some valuable ores, Su Ce asked the Red Dragon King, who was on guard, to lie down again and climbed up from her drooping tail.

Looking at the materials and equipment that fell out of the beast skin bags on the Red Dragon King’s back, he didn’t know how to deal with them.

In the current situation, he already had more than a dozen pieces of equipment in his inventory. At the same time, he also had three beast skin bags containing materials and equipment beside him.

And because he had picked up some valuable ores from the ground just now, he couldn’t even spare a hand at this moment. Looks like I have to tidy things up a little.

After throwing the ores onto the Red Dragon King’s broad back, Su Ce began to think about how to put them all into his inventory.

After all, without the Red Dragon King’s help, it was impossible for him to bring these items back alone.

But the Red Dragon King’s body was so huge that it would definitely be eye-catching if she entered the city.

Currently, Su Ce had just left the novice stage. If he really did this, it would be no different from courting death.

Su Ce opened his inventory and took out all the equipment that he had just stored.

Sensing the strangeness on her back, the Red Dragon King raised her head curiously and almost shook Su Ce off her back.

Su Ce patted her head and said seriously, “Don’t move yet!”

Then he continued to deal with the chaotic scene in front of him. First, he picked up the fullest beast skin bag. He wondered if he should place the best equipment at the bottom and pile most of the iron-quality equipment on top. This way, he would attract less attention.

But just as he was about to open the bag, an absurd thought flashed through his mind the moment his hand touched it.

Since his inventory couldn’t fit all of them, couldn’t he put the equipment in the beast skin bags and then put the bags in his inventory?

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Su Ce subconsciously tried it.

The beast skin bag in front of him instantly disappeared. When he opened his inventory interface again, the bag was lying inside.

It only occupied 16 grid spaces, which saved a lot of space compared to pouring out the things inside the bag and storing them separately.

“So this works too!”

After tasting the sweetness, Su Ce immediately put all the equipment that were scattered on the Red Dragon King’s back into the other two beast skin bags and then put them in his inventory.

Just like that, his inventory, which couldn’t even fit 15 pieces of equipment, now contained three beast skin bags and more free space than before.

Is this the Space Compression spell?

I love it.

After dealing with the inventory problem, Su Ce immediately got the Red Dragon King to carry him toward the city.

When he came here, he had taken the bus. But because he had returned late, the last bus had already left.

He could only ride the Red Dragon King and head toward the city center.

Lowering his body, Su Ce looked down at the Red Dragon King, who was flapping her wings and flying, and said thoughtfully, “Tsk, calling you Red Dragon King is too distant. Why don’t I give you a name?”

“Woo…” The Red Dragon King let out a soft cry and flew higher with an excited expression.

She was like a playful child, flying fancifully in the air, almost making Su Ce dizzy.

Touching the Red Dragon King’s huge head, Su Ce said helplessly, “Stop! Please fly steadily!

“Okay, since you’re the king of the red dragons and a female, I will call you Alexis from now on.”

Although Su Ce had given the Red Dragon King a name in a hasty manner, when he saw her narrowed eyes and content expression as she spread her wings and soared in the sky, she should be more than satisfied with the name he had given her.
