Chapter Eighty-Five: The Afterhand
Of course, it's time to keep shopping!
After all, he is not a person who often goes out shopping, and he generally does not have that interest, since he came out this time, he naturally tries to finish everything at once.
"Speaking of which, because Mr. Jin, an enthusiastic citizen, gave me a portable warehouse, I can take advantage of this recuperation period to store more supplies, including food, medicine, clothes, etc......."
Xia Ran, as a competent player, naturally had hamster disease.
He took the previous map, carefully looked at the various product areas inside the shopping mall, and quickly planned the next purchase route according to the type.
Go to the food area to sweep the goods first, canned food is the first choice, the apocalyptic scene can also be used, and the drink cannot be forgotten...... Then go to the clothes area to sweep the goods, and pack more than a dozen sets of various styles or something, I don't know when it may be useful...... Then go to the nearby daily necessities area for a walk, it's better to be prepared than to be prepared......
Alcohol? This seems to be something you can also bring, just like instant noodles, when it comes to the right scene, there are often unexpected effects, at least bartering directly with instant noodles or alcohol, which is definitely stronger than the purchasing power of bottle caps.
Electronics? Smart devices? It's best to prepare as much as possible, even after entering the mission world, most of them don't have the networking function, but their own functions are still very good.
Car? No, you shouldn't keep a narrow eye on the car, it should be said that it is a vehicle, and these things may be able to prepare more, but compared to more conventional vehicles, water vehicles and air vehicles......
It's not that he can't afford to pay for it, but it's too troublesome, it's not necessary, and it's easy to attract some unnecessary attention and make people suspicious.
Well, let's think about the vehicle for now, although the vehicle is not necessarily necessary, he does not say that he is flying by himself, and the foot can be faster than all the vehicles on land, but there will always be a time when it will be useful.
After thinking about it like this, Xia Ran suddenly found that maybe he was the real shopaholic compared to Yang Nai under the snow, and maybe it would be better to buy this shopping mall directly.
Before, he was purely unconditioned to do so, he didn't have so many points to desperately upgrade his inventory, open a warehouse for himself, plus the inventory function provided by space for the lost, although it was convenient and fast, it also had many limitations.
Not to mention the fact that you can't put living things, after all, most of the storage space can't be put into living things, which is nothing.
What really limits the Lost's inventory function is that it doesn't directly calculate the volume of storage, but instead uses a conceptual stacking of like-kind stacks - whether it's a slice of bread, a bag of rice, or a car, it will directly occupy a slot.
After placing an item in a slot, you can't continue to put other items, and you can only continue to stack items of the same type as a set of items...... As a result, the volume of the Lost's inventory is in an unpredictable state.
- It can be very large or very small, depending on how it is used.
Therefore, Xia Ran couldn't let these things occupy too much of his space and memory before, prepare some compressed energy bars for food, and prepare some bandages and life potions for medicine, basically just deal with it in the past.
However, the enthusiastic citizen Mr. Jin broke out the Wang Lu key, but he didn't have to waste points to upgrade the warehouse in the future-
Although strictly speaking, it's just an empty dimensional warehouse with nothing, and it's not the ultimate form of the King's Treasure that he doesn't know what he has in it before opening it, but at least it can give him more leeway.
Although it seems to be a bit of a low style to use the treasure vault space like the "Gold Capital", which is specially designed to store all the financial reports in the world, as a warehouse to contain all kinds of miscellaneous items, Xia Ran himself doesn't think there is any problem.
After all, not everyone is golden, and the whole world is his backyard, and the major civilizations and mythological systems are all dogs he raises - so everything is his, what artifacts, holy swords, ancient super technology, these things can even fill the entire treasure house.
So much so that even Mr. Jin himself couldn't remember how many treasures he had, anyway, he just needed to know that when he opened the treasure house, there would definitely be something he could use.
Xia Ran felt that he had no hope of reproducing the extra-spec treasure trove luxury lineup of the King's Treasure, and since he had never expected such an unrealistic thing as style from the beginning, he naturally would not feel how advanced the dimensional space that Wang Lujian was connected to.
It's just a portable warehouse, with automatic recording and automatic sorting functions, and as long as the things taken out of it are not completely used or destroyed, even if they are lost, they will be automatically recycled.
So what should be put in, put what you want to put in, to put it mildly, at most it is a high-level pile of debris...... Anyway, Xia Ran's first thought when he got Wang Lujian was that this thing could make it much easier for him, rather than preparing to offer it as a father and ask for trouble.
"By the way, I don't think I asked you yet...... Saber, do you have an inventory feature? β
At this time, the magician suddenly thought of such a thing, so he hurriedly asked the knight girl.
The retinue may not have the official identity of the lost, but since it is through formal formalities to enter the space, some basic functional modules should still be loaded, and the space is not stingy in this regard.
"Inventory? Is it the function of storing weapons and equipment? β
Saber thought about such an unfamiliar and playful term for a while, and then retrieved relevant information about it in his mind-
"It seems that there is, and it is said that it gives me five independent spaces to load things, and I feel that it is very convenient......"
"Is that the first five squares? Well, try to upgrade you to ten squares after that, you can respond to emergencies, and as for the usual times, there shouldn't be too many needs in this regard, I'll take care of the logistics......"
Xia Ran thought for a moment, nodded, and made a decision.
He stood up, stretched, and said, "Alright, let's hurry up, we'll have dinner later...... Well, I'm not hungry yet, Saber, are you hungry? β
Artoria was slightly stunned: "This ......"
Before she could answer, Xia Ran had already shook her head with a dumb smile and gently tapped her forehead: "Ah, I'm sorry, I asked a stupid question, Servant only needs to have enough for the demons, it's definitely pointless to eat......"
"It's not like that! MasterοΌ The petite knight girl's face suddenly turned grim, and she said with a straight face, "You should also know that I am not a real heroic spirit, and if I want to divide it, I still belong to the living, which is different from other Servants......"
"Huh? Is that so? Xia Ran pretended to be puzzled, but still nodded kindly, "Okay, I know, then let's go to dinner later, and then if you want, you can also learn to cook by yourself at home......"
"This ...... All right. β
Probably didn't expect the master to be so easy to speak, as if he was waiting for him here, Saber hesitated, but nodded.
Because there's nothing to hesitate about, right? At first, she was worried that the lord would directly ask her if she had to eat to supplement her nutrition, and that the knight could not lie to the monarch who had sworn allegiance, and she could not do anything about such a direct question.
She hadn't lied before, because what she said was the truth, and she was a living person rather than a pure spirit, unlike most other Servants, and food wasn't so meaningless to her - more of a habitual sense, of course.
The food she eats will be converted into mana, but this supplement is relatively small, even if it is three meals a day on time, it is probably enough for the share of daily consumption, and it will take a certain amount of time to accumulate before it can afford the consumption of a regular battle.
It's just that compared to other Servants who really exist as spirits, this is indeed fundamentally different, and it is also because of the difference brought about by her living human body.
After all, in addition to relying on the Master's mana supply, other Servants need to eat "the same thing" to replenish their energy.
Since the servant is a spirit, the "same thing" to be eaten naturally also refers to the spirit, and the natural spirit draws its strength from nature itself, so what does the servant of the human spirit draw power from?
Therefore, in many cases, when the Master's demon offering is insufficient, the Servant often has to eat people, converting human feelings and souls into their own magic, which is the most efficient.
Very good! Plan to pass ......
Xia Ran nodded with satisfaction, he naturally knew that enjoying food was one of Saber's few pleasures, but he didn't plan to tie his time to three meals a day or even a supper because of this.
This kind of thing sounds very troublesome, so forget it, and since Artoria is entangled in food, she should naturally be in charge of three meals a day, and it is precisely because she is most interested and concerned that she can do better, right?
And she probably doesn't have anything else to do, so it's good to find something for her to do, so as not to be prone to cranky thoughts and even doubt the value of her life after she is free......
Xia Ran knew that knights like Artoria were basically brainless, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, even if there was one thing that was clearly to send them to death, they would feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood, feeling that they were entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and the ultimate pursuit of life was at this moment.
What they really worry about is that they don't have anything to do, they haven't been entrusted with any responsibilities, they don't have to do anything every day, they just live like this, and they have to get by...... Over time, they will feel as if they have lost their value, and even wonder if the monarch no longer trusts them or something.
That's right, it's such a dead brain.
So Xia Ran didn't think that letting Saber learn to cook by herself was such a cruel exploitation, which was obviously the best of both worlds...... Well, I have to find a reason for her to do the housework at home.
The magician thought so and reached out to his maid...... Ah no, greeted his knight: "Alright, let's move on...... Hey, wait, aren't these bags a little too much? β
His eyes flickered, and he noticed that there were a few large and small shopping bags on the bench and around them...... In this way, it seems that when Yono Yukishita just left, he didn't take even a bag at all?
Is it to ignore the past? Or did you do it intentionally?
After a slight hesitation, he took a shopping bag and opened it to inspect it, and to his surprise, it was actually a men's suit, and it didn't look like it had been bought for herself or for Letitia.
It's more like ...... For him?
Raising his eyebrows, Xia Ran shook off his clothes and gestured to confirm this fact, and he didn't know how the goblin was visually detected, it was particularly suitable for his figure...... And it is very well matched, very tasteful, and you can see that it is carefully selected at a glance, rather than a perfunctory feeling of buying it when you see it at random.
Putting down the clothes in his hand, he looked at the large and small shopping bags around him with a very complicated look.
Because he really didn't care about it before, he was just following behind as a porter, so he really didn't pay attention to what Yang Nai was buying with great interest under the snow.
In addition, he didn't expect that the goblin could do such a thing directly, without his cooperation, or even without asking the size or something, to be able to buy clothes that were very suitable for him, so he didn't expect this at all.
"That goblin is really ...... It's completely annoying. β
Xia Ran sighed and knocked on his forehead.
