Chapter 121: Filling the Portable Space with "Weapons"
After finishing lunch, Lin Feng went straight back to his study, gently closing the door behind him.
He didn't sit down immediately, but stood in the center of the study, closed his eyes slightly, and focused his consciousness on a certain anchor point—
There, quietly floated the one-cubic-meter personal space awarded by the system.
Although this space cannot contain living beings, the flow of time within it is almost completely still.
This means that the items placed inside will remain in the same state as they were at the moment they were placed inside, without rotting, spoiling, or even aging.
Lin Feng opened his eyes. Every cubic centimeter had to be used to its fullest potential, and how to plan and make choices became a difficult problem that required careful calculation.
He sat at his desk, spread out a piece of paper, and began to make a list.
He then pressed the call button.
Soon, the butler, Laifu, appeared at the study door and bowed slightly: "Master, what are your orders?"
Lin Feng handed over the list: "Laifu, find a way to collect everything on this list for me, the sooner the better."
Laifu took the list, and the electronic eye quickly scanned it:
High-concentration black dog blood (sealed container) x 5
【3 pieces of lightning-struck peach wood core (made into a short sword or dagger)】 (10+ years old)
【Consecrated Five Emperor Coins (Small String) x 5】
【3 pure silver crosses (preferably soaked in holy water)】
[Special Salt (Mixed with Vermilion) x 10 packets]
Lai Fu's facial expression remained calm, but his tone in reply carried a hint of embarrassment:
"Master, the items on your list... have crossed the highest control threshold of the 'Tranquility Quadrant'."
"According to the Quadrant Security Act, black dog blood and lightning-struck peach wood core are defined as 'high-risk prohibited materials.' Any unauthorized production, possession, or trade will be considered a serious threat by the Order Purification Bureau."
"Once discovered, the individuals involved will be immediately detained, and the items will be destroyed on the spot. There will be absolutely no leniency."
"As for the cross soaked in holy water... the physical constants and religious background of this quadrant cannot support the manifestation of its corresponding 'sacred concept'."
"Even if you find something that resembles it, it's just an empty shell and doesn't have the 'exorcising' properties you need."
"The basic ingredients of the special salt also have the same problem, making it difficult to achieve the effect of 'exorcising evil spirits'."
Lin Feng frowned and fell into deep thought.
It seems that these things, in the Tranquility Quadrant, are like trying to trade weapons and radioactive materials in the real world—not only are the channels hard to find, but it's also a dangerous business that puts your life at risk.
Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, his gaze drifting aimlessly across the study before finally settling on the cover of an airline magazine on the table—
The cover features Xia Ning in a sweet image wearing a flight attendant uniform.
In an instant, a thought struck him like lightning!
Since the military route is limited in many ways, why not explore other paths?
Since we're destined to follow the "many children, many blessings" route in the world of ghost stories, why not maximize this "soft power"?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly felt enlightened, and all the pent-up frustration in his heart vanished.
Without hesitation, he crumpled up the previous list, threw it in the trash, and then gave Lai Fu a completely new set of instructions:
"Laifu, cancel all previous purchases. Now, activate the highest priority task to prepare these for me—"
"The jewelry from top luxury brands—necklaces, earrings, and bracelets—must be unique in design and made of diamonds, gemstones, or top-quality pearls. We need to prepare ten sets of each item initially."
"Select three of the latest and limited-edition luxury handbags that are most recognizable and generate the most buzz."
"High-end watches, silk scarves, cashmere shawls, designer hats, classic or avant-garde sunglasses, and art brooches—three of each of these accessories are carefully selected."
"Prepare five sets of the complete set of top-tier skincare products and limited-edition makeup gift sets."
"Also, we need to find those beautifully packaged, expensive top-quality snacks, handmade chocolates, and art candy gift boxes. We need to get enough of them, to start with a batch."
"Oh, right," he said, as if suddenly remembering an important detail, "we also need two sets of professional-grade ear-cleaning tools, the best quality ones."
That's all for now.
"Remember: Don't aim for the most practical, but for the most luxurious, the most eye-catching, and the one that best conveys your feelings."
"The instruction has been recorded. The procurement process has been initiated," Lai Fu responded calmly.
Although its core logic cannot resolve the connection between these items and survival, perfectly executing orders is its highest principle.
........................
As the sun set, Laifu returned with the supplies he had purchased.
Various exquisitely packaged luxury gift boxes, gorgeous clothing, dazzling jewelry, snacks, and a whole box neatly stacked.
Lin Feng began to meticulously cram things into his one-cubic-meter space, much like a hamster:
Because of their regular shape, the three limited-edition handbags were first placed stably at the bottom of the space as a "foundation".
High-end watch boxes, silk handkerchief boxes, and cashmere shawls, due to their flat shapes, are cleverly stood upright and placed close to the bags.
The long storage box for the two sets of ear cleaning tools perfectly fills the narrow gap between the bag and the "inner wall".
Subsequently, the jewelry boxes, skincare gift boxes, and makeup cases of varying sizes were carefully assembled according to their shapes, much like playing Tetris.
The hollow interior of the designer hat is filled with artistic brooches and sunglasses, maximizing space utilization.
Finally, a large number of snack, chocolate and candy gift boxes became the perfect cushioning material, completely filling all the remaining gaps.
Ultimately, that one cubic meter of space was utilized to its fullest potential, making it a perfect fit.
Lin Feng exited the internal vision with satisfaction. Although there was not a single "weapon" in the traditional sense, looking at the space full of "sugar-coated bullets" and social "hard currency," he felt a strange sense of security.

The final day of the Elite School instance.
Amy's smile had spread uncontrollably to her cheekbones, like a stiff crack, but she was still relatively conscious.
If we can just get through today, we'll be able to get an A-level pass rating.
In the afternoon, after finishing her last class at the School of Social Sciences, Amy stood up, let out a long sigh of relief, and felt a sense of lightness and relief.
She packed up her notes and was about to leave the classroom when she suddenly stopped at the door—
In the dim light of the corridor, she could clearly see that her shadow was twisting in a way that defied the laws of physics, and was slowly wriggling as if it had an independent life of its own.
The seventh rule of the academy instantly came to mind:
If you notice your shadow becoming unnaturally distorted, do everything in your power to quickly find the orange cat wandering around the academy and stabilize your state through close contact (such as petting or hugging it).
Amy suppressed the panic surging within her and immediately began running through the academy building, her eyes anxiously scanning every corner:
"Kitty...meow...Orange...where are you?"
