Chapter 49 - The Storage Space
Zhao Luo had gotten one of the best robes that the owner of the shop 'Robester', Elder Bo had ever made.
'The Robe of Hunger.'
Brother Sang got one of the robes from the Heaven Zone's five robes. Brother Sang was looking very satisfied. He couldn't wait to change into that robe.
Whereas Yan ended up getting two of the remaining four robes of the Heaven Zone from Elder Bo.
Zhao Luo had helped him in picking one while Yan chose the other one himself rather quickly after the little interaction with Zhao Luo.
'Weird guy.'
Zhao Luo thought as he was looking at the blushing Yan.
"Thank you elder for your generosity."
Brother Sang was showing the elder a palm over fist salute as he bowed with his shoulder.
"Good kids."
Elder Bo smiled as he looked at Brother Sang and the two behind him.
Zhao Luo was still looking at Yan while Yan was busy as he was in bliss.
The happiness of getting two robes from Elder Bo's Heaven Zone was immeasurable. He couldn't keep it within him.
Yan had a smile engraved on his mouth with red cheeks.
'Hmph.'
Zhao Luo was angry with himself.
'Why can't I look away?'
Zhao Luo thought as he kept on looking back at Yan who was busy staring at his new robes.
Zhao Luo looked away from Yan and saw Brother Sang thanking the elder.
Zhao Luo went close to Elder Bo and also gave him a salute.
"Thank you Elder, you have been very kind to us."
Zhao Luo said to Elder Bo.
Since waking up everyone has been so good to him.
The more people he kept on meeting, the more amazing they were.
Especially the owner of the 'Robester' shop, Elder Bo.
"Kid, it's not a big deal. I would never ask for returns from others. But whenever I look at you I can't stop myself from saying this. You owe me for these robes so don't forget it later."
Elder Bo grinned while telling his thoughts to Zhao Luo. Before he was saying that it was a gift for them. But now he was telling a different story.
'So I owe for the robes that Brother Sang and Yan got too.'
Zhao Luo pondered over what Elder Bo said as it wasn't a big deal for Zhao Luo.
"Elder you can start expecting a good return."
Zhao Luo said with a big smile on his face.
There was nothing wrong with expecting good things from others when you do good for them.
"Elder Bo sorry to be impudent but how expensive are the robes in the heaven Zone?"
Zhao Luo asked Elder Bo. He just wanted to know about the value of the gift he got.
"The ones in the Heaven Zone's usually sell for 300k xin coins."
Elder Bo told him with a serious face but his tone was very light thus showing that 300k in coins weren't a big sum for him.
"Ha-Ha-Ha, is that a lot?"
Zhao Luo asked while looking at Brother Sang. He couldn't even laugh properly as Elder had thrown a big amount so simply that Zhao Luo had it hard just to stand straight.
"Yes, brother it's a big sum indeed. People would bet on these robes, and the bet starts from 300k."
Brother Sang told Zhao Luo.
After hearing it, Zhao Luo was shocked beyond reason.
'300k...I don't even have a single xin coin for now.'
Zhao Luo felt a little depressed over the thought of his current financial situation.
"Young man, don't dwell on stupid things. I don't want the debt to be paid in coins. I may have a different kind of request later on. Just do that."
Elder Bo tried to cheer Zhao Luo as he was looking down.
"I will remember your words Elder."
Zhao Luo said with a smile emerging on his face again.
"Thank you Elder."
Yan also came with his two robes in his hand. He thanked the elder and tried to not look at Zhao Luo.
"It's okay. If you want, you can the last two too."
Elder Bo gave Yan a very tempting offer.
"Really?"
Yan couldn't believe it. So she confirmed with the Elder again.
"Yes. Why would I mess with a junior??"
Elder Bo said while raising his hands towards his chest with his palms turned upwards.
Yan was lost in his thoughts.
'Should I take more? I want to. But I think these two are already enough. Hmm."
Yan thought as he looked around.
"Thank you for your offer but these two are already enough for me."
Yan said while showing his white ruby-like teeth to Elder Bo.
"Hahaha, Good kids indeed."
Elder Bo said while looking at the three.
"Elder Bo we shall take our leave now. We still need to buy a storage ring for Brother Luo."
Brother Sang told the elder.
'NOD.'
Zhao Luo nodded at Elser Bo, agreeing with what Brother Sang had said.
Both Yan and Brother Sang put their robes in their storage rings.
"There is no need to buy a storage ring for Zhao Luo."
Elder Bo said suddenly causing Zhao Luo, Brother Sang, and Yan to look at him.
"But elder brother Luo will be going to the sect tomorrow. You don't mean to let Brother Zhao Luo carry his stuff around in his hands."
Brother Sang asked Elder Bo.
As what the elder had said didn't make any sense.
"Indeed. I can't imagine how he lived till now without a storage ring."
Yan also added as he looked at Zhao Luo.
"Look how he is holding his old worn-out robe in his hands. It is ruining his persona."
Yan complaining while puffing his cheeks.
The complaint of Yan was completely justified.
Elder Bo looked at Zhao Luo and also nodded as he moved his eyes downwards while looking at Zhao Luo.
Zhao Luo was a very handsome man. But his handsomeness was at such an extent that it was hard to look away as he looked like a beauty too.
Zhao Luo was looking confused as Brother Sang, Yan, and even Elder Bo were nodding while talking in their heads. They were wasting their time talking over how it was a waste that Zhao Luo was ruining his style because of his worn-out robe in his hands.
"You kids didn't get what I said."
Elder Bo said to them.
Brother Sang and Yan looked at Elder Bo as he was going to continue with what he was talking about.
"The Robe of Hunger is one of my best works because it isn't just a simple robe with some heaven-defying functions. There are many things that you still don't know about."
Elder Bo showed them a mysterious smile.
"Zhao Luo, look at the robe with your sole focus in storing it. Just think that you want to push it in the Robe of...."
Elder Bo was telling Zhao Luo as Zhao Luo had already acted upon his instructions before the elder could even finish.
Zhao Luo's robe had disappeared from his hand.
"Wow, it disappeared. Huh, it's here. I can take it out."
Zhao Luo was saying some broken lines as he waved his hand.
He had seen the Second Elder do the same gesture to bring out the table and paper.
While waving his hand from right to left Zhao Luo thought about bringing the robe out.
'Woosh.'
Zhao Luo grabbed the robe as it appeared in his hand again out of nowhere.
"I merged the spatial manipulation method of the storage ring in the Robe of Hunger. The amount you can store in that space is more than what you can imagine. With a 10 by 10 Li Square room, you won't find it half-filled even if you are dying of old age."
Elder Bo kept on shooting at them with the praises of the storage function of his Robe of Hunger.
Zhao Luo had his eyebrows raised as he used his senses to check the storage space of his robe.
He stored his robe in the space and started to see the space too.
It was like a wooden square structure.
'It's too big.'
Zhao Luo thought while looking around the storage space inside his robe. If others had heard it, they would have misunderstood it.
"Fascinating. Right?"
Elder Bo said while looking at Zhao Luo who had his eyes closed as he was inspecting the storage space.
This caused Zhao Luo's senses to be pulled out from the storage space and he opened his eyes.
"Elder you are a great person. It's a great pleasure for me to wear this robe which has so many unbelievable features."
Zhao Luo started praising Elder Bo because of how good the Robe of Hunger was.
"Well, this should solve your need for a storage ring."
Elder Bo nodded and said to them.
"Yes indeed."
Brother Sang replied.
After talking for a little while more, they decided to say their farewell to Elder Bo.
"We shall meet again."
Elder Bo said to them as they were leaving the shop.
"Goodbye Elder."
Brother Sang said to him.
"Take care of yourself."
Yan added as he was also standing next to Brother Sang before the exit of the shop.
Zhao Luo looked at Elder Bo and gave him a nod.
