Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: My Future Wife is Too Frugal

Lu Zihao found a flat, open spot, surveyed the area, and nodded in satisfaction.

He took out a necklace from his neck—a 10-centimeter-sized disc.

The instant he channeled his spiritual energy into it, a luxurious, bus-like RV appeared before him.

This was a storage space magic item Shen Xiao had sold him yesterday, 300 cubic meters in size, for 300 million.

This incident increased his goodwill towards Shen Xiao. Buying a storage space magic item for 300 million—from this perspective, he was making a profit.

Storage space magic items were rare, only appearing at auctions.

A 1-cubic-meter one could sometimes fetch three or four million.

Those several tens of cubic meters were even more fiercely contested, sometimes, one's status wasn't high enough to even qualify for one.

He didn't want one around 1 cubic meter, it would fill up quickly, but he couldn't compete for the several tens of cubic-meter ones.

He wouldn't even dare dream of those massive storage treasures, hundreds of cubic meters in size.

They could fetch billions each time, and even if he managed to secure a spot, he couldn't afford them.

Yesterday, Shen Xiao offered to sell him a 300-cubic-meter storage magic item, and of course, he was more than willing.

Although the 300 million price tag was a bit painful, it was still a profit.

If he wanted to resell it, he could definitely recoup his investment.

But only a fool would do that.

He knew Shen Xiao was giving it to him as a brotherly gesture, which made him even more convinced that following Shen Xiao was the right decision.

Shen Xiao explained that he had obtained the storage magic item by chance during his last A-level mission. Shen Xiao had essentially given it away, half-sold it.

Lu Zihao had followed him for a long time, so he had to give him something in return; he'd won many storage magic items in the lottery.

This disc-shaped one was too big to carry around easily.

Putting it in a pocket made it easy to lose, and even with the rope tied around his neck, he still had to take it out every time he needed to use it.

Unlike the strap on his wrist, this storage magic item had a portable space the size of ten basketball courts, equivalent to the height of an eight-story building, with access instantaneous.

Yesterday, he was short of money, and seeing Lu Zihao's eager gaze upon the storage magic item, he sold it to him.

He definitely wanted to sell this disc-shaped storage magic item.

Rather than selling it to someone else, he figured he might as well give it to someone close to him first; he'd make money and gain some goodwill.

Because of this, Lu Zihao had given him ten lottery tickets.

He felt that with these ten tickets, choosing an auspicious day, he could draw another storage magic item.

So, the 300 million was essentially free, he hadn't even wanted it at the time.

But if he didn't want it, Lu Zihao couldn't possibly take the storage magic item for free.

He could only reluctantly pocket it…

This was how he got his 300 million, he had planned for Lu Qingyue to spend it all yesterday, but she had been incredibly frugal and only spent 8 million.

Now, another 10,000 consecutive draws are coming up, which means even more wealth points.

He's earning more and more treasures, but his future wife isn't going to spend any money.

It's really driving him crazy…

After taking the RV out of his storage space, Lu Zihao stuffed his precious storage magic item back into his clothes.

"It's so convenient to have a storage space, otherwise we'd have to sleep in the open."

The storage space stopped circulating, and the RV still had residual heat inside, completely disproportionate to the outside temperature.

Inside the vehicle, it was warm enough to wear short sleeves, while outside, even bundled up in a down jacket, one would still shiver.

This was the most luxurious RV he owned—a bus-style motorhome.

Inside was a U-shaped sofa that could easily accommodate ten people, followed by a separate kitchen and bathroom.

Further inside was the bedroom, fully equipped with basic living amenities.

The vehicle had ample water, electricity, and fuel, and plenty of food was also provided.

Although the vehicle was too big to drive, who buys an RV to drive it?

It's meant to be used as a shelter for camping in the wild.

When not in use, it's taken out, when not, it's stored away in the storage space.

In these mountains where there aren't even roads, RVs are practically invisible, the only advantage is the storage space.

The interior was luxurious and spacious, and the four of them didn't feel cramped at all.

Lu Zihao first took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and chugged it down before lying down on the sofa to rest.

"Ugh, it's filthy! Can you wash up before lying down? How am I supposed to sit here all dirty?"

"This is my vehicle. What I do with it is none of your business!"

He retorted to Su Qiao, but still obediently went to the bathroom to wash up first.

Lu Qingyue finished washing up first and went to the RV's kitchen area to start cooking.

Tonight's dinner is barbecue.

Before setting off, she had washed and chopped all the ingredients.

This was to make cooking easier and not keep Shen Xiao and the others waiting, although Shen Xiao had said it didn't need to be so complicated, since they were in the wilderness and could be more casual.

But she still felt something was off.

If conditions were harsh and food was limited, it would be understandable.

But now that supplies were plentiful, she didn't want Shen Xiao to make do with instant noodles.

...

Shen Xiao went to the bathroom to wash up, and at the same time opened the control panel to draw prizes.

Ding!

[Lottery draw count reached its peak, the wheel has been upgraded to orange quality.]

Ding!

[First 10,000 consecutive draws, received the extra reward: Evil King's True Eye.]

'Another eye.'

He had just checked, there were three or four types of eyes among the rare rewards, and this extra reward was another eye.

How am I supposed to use so many?

Stuff them into my arm?

That would be a monster.

Looks like they're just gathering dust in the warehouse.

Do these dusty items even deserve to be called rare rewards?

Let's look at this extra reward first, it's definitely better than the lottery.

Let's see the specific effects of these eyes and pick the best one.

[Evil King's True Eye Effects: Second Life, Copy, Plunder.]

Second Life: Passive effect, cannot be actively used. It automatically takes effect upon the host's death. For 5 minutes, the user is in a spirit form, invisible and immune to all attacks. During this time, the user can choose a location to revive at 50% health. Resurrection will occur automatically after the timeout.

Skill cooldown: 168 hours.

Wow, that's powerful!

Leaving aside the other two abilities, he really loves this Second Life.

Right now, he has plenty of strength; his only concern is his safety. This solves that problem easily.

And since it takes effect automatically upon death, his safety is guaranteed.

Even if he's ambushed and killed, or poisoned, he can instantly revive.

The seven-day cooldown doesn't matter, he can escape in spirit form.

Spirit form ignores all obstacles; he can pass through walls.

Find a place to hide.

Once the seven-day cooldown is over, he can go back to his adventures!

Having two lives is so liberating!

These eyes are amazing; that alone makes it worth equipping!
