Win!
"Be careful on your way home, and once you're there, have your parents send a message in the parent group. Alright, you're dismissed." After the memorial photo was taken, and the class base was cleaned up, Xue Jian reminded everyone and signaled that they could leave on their own.
"Class rep, see you the day after tomorrow." Lin Li stood up and waved to Chen Yu Ying.
"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow." It seemed like Chen Yu Ying and Ding Sihan were planning to take more photos with the trophy; she turned her head, heard Lin Li, and nodded in response.
"No need to return it, this miraculous tool will help you in the future to trick funds out of the military, keep it," Lin Li waved Bai Bufan off, seeing him return the gold medal, and simultaneously took off one of his medals to give to Chen Yu Ying: "Class rep, this is for you too, it doesn't look good taking photos with a copper medal around your neck."
Thinking about his artifacts, Lin Li then promptly rushed to the school gate to ride home.
...
Once home, he took off his shoes, changed shoes, and after confirming no one else was home, Lin Li returned to his room.
From the [Warehouse], he brought forth two of his artifacts.
"Qiankun Ring" was a small, entirely black ring with a tiny black crystal on it. It was somewhat loose on the index and ring fingers, but it fit the middle finger quite well.
Without hesitation, Lin Li pricked his fingertip with a needle and dripped a drop of blood onto the "Qiankun Ring."
The blood was quickly absorbed, and the black crystal emitted a faint glow, which dimmed promptly.
A slight connection formed between Lin Li and the "Qiankun Ring," and the size of the ring seemed to adjust to fit him perfectly, suddenly feeling very snug.
Lin Li closed his eyes and attempted to immerse his mind into the "Qiankun Ring."
The space inside the ring presented itself before Lin Li's eyes.
It was roughly one thousand cubic millimeters.
In layman's terms, one cubic centimeter.
Equivalent to one milliliter.
Lin Li: "..."
ᓖ뮤?
"I knew the space would be small initially, but isn't this a bit too small! What use is this tiny space to me?" Lin Li got up and complained, unable to hold back.
What can this hold?
Lin Li manifested the Spirit Stone and began to guide the Spiritual Qi to move inside the "Qiankun Ring," attempting to expand the space.
Fifteen minutes later, the low-grade Spirit Stone became nearly hollow, and Lin Li then placed it back into the system.
The space inside the "Qiankun Ring" expanded nearly tenfold; now it could at least hold ten milliliters of things, and still retained a standard cubic shape, seemingly fixed in form. No matter how much deep refinement was done to expand it, it uniformly extended outwards.
It seems there's no way to freely expand or create elongated spaces.
But not bad.
Though the space made with a single low-grade Spirit Stone was quite small, Lin Li wasn't greedy. As long as he could expand the space and visibly benefit, that was enough.
Take it slow; after all, there's already quite a stock of Spirit Stones, and system currency is ample too.
For now, Lin Li paused the expansion and began testing the usage of the "Qiankun Ring."
After recognizing ownership, the ring's size adapts, perfectly fitting Lin Li's ten fingers, even his thumbs, garnering good reviews.
However, it didn't react to toes, neck, or certain areas, failing to self-adapt, hence it received poor reviews.
Once worn, it couldn't be taken off unless Lin Li himself removed it.
Much like the system's [Warehouse], it could accept objects into the space upon contact, but had regional restrictions: when worn on the right hand, only the right hand and the ring itself could make contact; conversely for the left hand, the same applies for manifestation.
If not worn, but held in hand, accepting objects would require touching the corresponding item with the ring.
Lin Li could control the placement of items stored within the "Qiankun Ring" to maximize space.
Also, the internal space appeared to be static; items could float inside. After Lin Li took out a freshly cut apple five minutes later, it hadn't oxidized, and water so hot it burned when stored inside was still steaming hot ten minutes later when retrieved, making Lin Li's finger yelp.
What good is cultivation if it's not as practical as Bao Wei, who doesn't fear hot water burns?
The one minor problem was, when items were stored inside, the "Qiankun Ring" couldn't be put back into the system's [Warehouse]; it must be emptied first.
Though flawed, this artifact predicated on self-expansion seemed modern-worthy.
Imagine, it could hold two coins facing up and down, six dice with each number represented, a complete set of playing cards, a set of mahjong tiles…
If Lin Li could return to the National Day with "Qiankun Ring," he swore to make those "three" suffer underfoot and exact revenge on the 'dog!'
Vengeance burns brightly!
Right now, it's somewhat unusable because of the small space, a bit of glue could fill it into a puff.
At school, although the rules are lax, wearing rings or such ornaments is restricted, especially since it's a conspicuous, black, crystal ring.
In the future, to use it, one would have to wait until the space is expanded and secretly take it from a pocket.
Returning to the [Warehouse], Lin Li manifested the "Invisible Sword."
A petite edition, roughly ten centimeters long, quietly floated before Lin Li.
Lin Li reached out intending to hold it, only to realize it had no substance, and when his hand passed through it, he felt nothing but a slight chill.
What kind of holographic projection sword is this?
Although it lacked substance, Lin Li prepared Spirit Stone intending to refine it just as before.
However, when the Spirit Stone appeared, the "Invisible Sword" took the initiative to move in its direction.
Lin Li raised an eyebrow, started absorbing Spiritual Qi to circulate within himself, and then stored the Spirit Stone back into [Warehouse]; the "Invisible Sword," unable to be pinched by cheeks, reached towards Lin Li, merging into his body.
