Chapter 180 - Expansion and Getting Hit On

Chapter 180 Expansion and Getting Hit On

When he reached level 5, he got the super learning mode, which was very useful. Now that he was level 10, he obtained a second expansion: the inventory.

As he drove, Luke turned on the module without any hesitation.

Then… 1,000 credit points is required to activate the inventory. Would you like to continue?

Luke: Yes!

There was no way he would refuse. A personal space would be very handy in future operations.

In terms of convenience, it was much better than the super learning mode.

Of course, though it was more convenient, it still wasn’t as important as the super learning mode.

After activating the inventory, Luke immediately sensed a connection to some place.

He didn’t know where it was exactly, but he could sense it with his mind.

Luke thought for a moment, then picked up his Glock 17 and tried to store it.

…Well, the gun was still there.

Luke was rather embarrassed. Thank god nobody was watching.

He stopped the car and focused. A moment later, he called out, “Enter!”

The Glock in his hand flashed for a moment, before it suddenly vanished.

Luke opened his eyes in satisfaction, feeling lucky. “This inventory has to be booted up with mental energy, but it’ll probably become quicker once I get the hang of it. Huh, system, why did you only give me 0.001 cubic meter for 1,000 credit points?”

But Luke had already stopped disparaging the system long ago.

Though it might seem silly at times, all its functions were highly practical.

As a grateful man, Luke couldn’t continue cursing it.

The system was silent.

Luke knew that the system didn’t have an explanation for why 1,000 credit points could only be exchanged for a space of 0.001 cubic meter.

How big was this space? To put it simply, it was as large as a cube that was ten centimeters long on all sides.

Of course, the space wasn’t really in the shape of a cube, but could change according to the object being stored. That was why Luke could store the gun that was almost nineteen centimeters long inside.

Shaking his head, Luke started the car and continued on his way.

He had no complaints about the system, but he kept talking to it, hoping to uncover more useful intelligence.

As he talked to the system nonstop, the system suddenly responded.

Luke’s hands trembled, and he almost drove the car off the road.

System: 10,000 credit points are required to upgrade the inventory. Would you like to upgrade it?

Since he had more than twenty thousand credit points, Luke decided to upgrade the space.

Instantly, he felt the space which his mind was connected to expand a thousand-fold.

One cubic meter!

Dumbfounded, Luke murmured a long time later, “The system is really my dad!”

By spending ten times the original amount of credit points, the sides of the storage space, not its volume, grew to ten times its initial length!

Luke felt that the cost was totally worth it!

While ten thousand credit points were a lot, it was nothing compared to a personal space of one cubic meter.

This space could store a thousand liters of water. Human beings were approximately as dense as water. So, he could store ten or more people in this space…

The personal space was already very useful to Luke when it was just 0.001 cubic meter in size, to say nothing of one cubic meter of space.

He could’ve stored a Glock and multiple magazines in it.

For him, the personal space was a trump card.

He had intended to dismantle and throw away the gun after he got out of the car, but he could keep it now. After all, his personal space was still empty.

He drove the car to an alley in the 18th arrondissement. Leaving the door wide open, he walked away quickly.

If a lucky dog found the car, they would see that the key was even still in the ignition.

This car would certainly be gone by the next morning. It was the last clue that linked Luke to the case.

Luke finally called Daniel and took the cab back to his hotel in the 16th arrondissement. He returned to his room and went to bed.

The next morning, Luke casually walked out of the hotel

He needed to relax today. He walked around for a while and found a nice little park. Sitting down on a bench, Luke observed the passers-by.

Looking at the bright and warm people, Luke gradually felt at peace.

A moment later, a girl with dark red hair approached him and said, “If I may ask, do you need any help?”

Luke looked at her and smiled casually. “Oh, no, but thank you. I’m only enjoying this beautiful morning and this beautiful city.”

The girl was dazzled.

She had an easel ten meters away and there was a metal box in front of it. Inside the box was a bit of cash. She clearly didn’t have a thriving business.

As an art student who was here to sketch, her main purpose was to observe people and gain inspiration instead of making money.

So, she liked to observe interesting people, like this young man.

She hadn’t noticed Luke at first, who was never the most eye-catching person in a crowd to begin with.

His clothes were clean but boring. His hair was short and black. His face was only average and definitely didn’t make the heart pound.

When she fixed her attention on him, however, she found Luke’s face more and more agreeable.

He looked young, but there was a cold and indifferent expression in his eyes, as if he had no interest in the outside world.

In the end, when Luke’s lips pulled up in a vague smile, the girl felt her heart suddenly flutter.

It was hard for her to describe the feeling, as if the guy had suddenly turned from an ordinary stone statue into an amazing superhero.

She sensed that there was something intriguingly contradictory about this seemingly plain guy.

So, she approached Luke and struck up a conversation.

She blushed slightly at Luke’s reply and his smile.

As an art student in the Capital of Romance, she had seen plenty of gorgeous guys and girls whom she had been drawn to before.

But none of them impressed her as much as this guy whom she had just met.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Can – can I have your number?”

Taken aback for a moment, Luke smiled. “I’m sorry, but I’m on holiday from America. I don’t have a local number. So…”
