Chapter 240 Obtaining the Space Ring
"It's a success." Li Ang wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and nodded to Lillian.
Lillian stepped forward, picked up a bottle of potion, examined it carefully, and then gently sniffed it, her eyes flashing with amazement: "The quality is very high—better than any basic healing potion I've ever seen before."
Li Ang smiled and accepted the compliment.
Then he took the medicine and walked towards the crowd, distributing it to several of the more seriously injured.
After the medicine was distributed, seeing the residents who had taken it regain their vitality, Li Ang felt a sense of accomplishment. This was not only fulfilling his obligation to help others, but also using his own strength to genuinely help those in need.
In the following days, as the types of medicinal herbs brought back by the gathering team became increasingly diverse, Li Ang began to expand the scope of his potion-making.
In addition to continuing to supply the [Basic Healing Potion], he also added the production of the [Lung Healing Potion].
Residents who live in damp underground environments for a long time are more or less plagued by lung diseases.
As canisters of Lung Healing Potion were distributed, the muffled coughs in the lair gradually diminished, and color returned to the sallow faces of many orcs.
In addition, Li Ang successfully concocted a simplified version of the "purification potion" using several herbs with detoxifying effects.
This medicine is remarkably effective in eliminating toxins accumulated in the body due to long-term consumption of unclean food or water, or contact with certain toxic minerals or plants.
In a short time, many residents who had been suffering from unexplained low-grade fever, fatigue, and skin ulcers for years experienced effective relief or even complete cure of their symptoms.
As a result, Leon's reputation in "The Lost Nest" rose rapidly, and he was no longer the suspicious intruder who needed Mia's protection.
Instead, it is Lord Leon who can bring food and heal injuries and illnesses. His status has been subtly elevated to second only to the cave lord Lillian, and he is respected by all the residents.
That morning, just as Li Ang finished his meditation, there was a gentle knock on the door of the hut.
Mia slipped in as soon as the door opened, a mysterious smile on her face, her pale yellow vertical pupils gleaming in the dim light.
"Li Ang, close your eyes and reach out!" she whispered, a hint of cunning in her voice.
Li Ang obediently closed his eyes and stretched out his hands.
He first felt a tough, cool object with a faint leathery smell being placed in his hand, and then something else was carefully placed on top of that object.
"You can open your eyes now!"
Li Ang opened his eyes and found that he held a well-made leather armor in his hand. It was dark brown in color and had fine diamond patterns on the surface.
It appears to be made from the skin of a crocodile hunted last time, and the key parts of the armor have several layers added to enhance defense. The stitches are fine and even, indicating that a great deal of effort was put into its production.
The other item was a silver ring with a simple design and almost no decoration. Only a few extremely small runes that Li Ang did not recognize were engraved on the inside of the ring.
"The leather armor was hastily made by Aunt Mona and a few of her most skillful sisters. It's made from the finest back leather—lightweight yet sturdy, most wild animals can't tear it!" Mia proudly introduced. "And this ring—hehe, it's one of the spoils we borrowed before. Lillian said it's a high-end item, but unfortunately it's locked, so we can't use it. But I think you're so skilled, maybe you can open it. Even if you can't, it'll still be nice as a decoration!"
Li Ang understood that although Mia spoke casually, both the meticulously crafted leather armor and the obviously more precious ring represented her and the entire nest's recognition and affection.
"Thank you, Mia. Please also thank Aunt Mona and everyone for me."
Li Ang thanked him sincerely, then focused his attention on the silver ring.
【LVO Advanced Space Ring】
Status: Locked (Can be bound)
[Binding Cost: 30 Spirit Points]
[Current Function: Contains 20 cubic meters of stable storage space, capable only of storing inanimate objects. Time flows almost at a standstill within the space.]
Just as Mia said, the ring is currently "locked" and can only be used under certain conditions. Li Ang guessed that it would require the original owner's mental power to unlock.
However, for Li Ang, who possesses the system, the words "can be bound" mean that he can bypass this protection.
Li Ang then allocated 30 points of his mental energy to the ring. With the binding successful, the mental connection was established, and Li Ang gained control of the ring.
It became.
With a thought, Li Ang first put the crocodile skin armor in his hand into his ring, and then took it out of the ring.
"Wow, you can really use it!" Mia jumped up in surprise, her tail standing tall.
"Great! I knew you could do it!"
Li Ang smiled and used his mental energy to probe into the space inside the ring. He wanted to see if there was anything good inside this locked ring.
Disappointingly, the space was empty except for one item lying alone in a corner: a palm-sized, dusty gray stone slab.
The stone slab was neither gold nor jade, and its surface was covered with extremely complex and intricate patterns. He tried to touch the stone slab with his mental energy, but the stone slab did not react at all. There was no information flowing out, nor any energy fluctuation, just like a real stone.
"Is there anything good inside?" Mia asked curiously as she leaned closer.
Li Ang took out the stone slab and handed it to Mia: "This is all we have; we can't tell what it is."
Mia took it, examined it from all angles, and tapped it with her paw, looking equally bewildered: "Hmm—a strange board. Elves always like to create these weird things. Oh well, the ring working is the best thing ever. Let's put on the leather armor and try it out!"
Li Ang readily agreed, took off his old leather armor, and put on a brand new crocodile leather armor.
The leather armor fit him perfectly, and when he tried moving his shoulders and arms, he felt no restriction whatsoever.
The armor was clearly more defensive than the old leather armor, but it was almost half the weight of the previous set. He moved around a few times and nodded in satisfaction.
Mia circled him twice, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "Great! It fits perfectly, making it safer for you to come hunting with me! Come on, let's go check out the east side of the forest today. I heard there have been long-horned deer sightings there recently!"
Donning new gear, Li Ang and Mia once again ventured into the forests of Avalon. Perhaps it was good fortune, but today's hunt went exceptionally well.
Upon arriving at their destination, they encountered a herd of longhorn deer, and Li Ang captured six robust longhorn deer with almost no effort.
Mia's spatial ring was crammed full. On the way back, she hummed an off-key tune and walked with unusually light steps, clearly in a very good mood.
