389: Chapter 389 A Familiar Scene

[Brain (its mouth corners curling into a standard villainous smirk)]:

"Brothers, the Slacker Ruler has been completely knocked out by the carbohydrate bomb."

"Main consciousness sensory input completely severed."

"Prepare, logging on!"

[Right Hand (excitedly swinging its fists, knuckles cracking loudly)]:

"I've been stifled to death! Acting on that high platform all day, my bones are almost rusting!"

"Brother Brain! Hurry up! While this Slacker Ruler is dead asleep, we need to go through that stock tonight!"

[Kidneys (already excited, rolling around on the side, drool almost forming a river)]:

"Yes, yes, yes! Yesterday in the dungeon, to save time, we didn't check the resources in many of the rings!"

"This is the fattest batch of wool in all of Great Xia! Hurry, hurry, hurry, unpack all the blind boxes!"

[Brain (nodding with satisfaction)]:

"Granted."

"Move quietly, let's start dividing the loot!"

Outside.

"Jiang You," who had been lying quietly on the luxurious big bed, slowly opened his tightly shut dead-fish eyes without any warning.

His eyes were as deep as ink in the darkness, devoid of any sleepiness.

"Jiang You" sat up from the bed somewhat stiffly.

He tilted his head slightly, and by the faint moonlight from outside the window, slowly raised his right hand.

His index finger curled slightly.

"Snap." A crisp sound of snapping fingers rang out abruptly in the deathly silent room.

The next second.

In the void less than half a meter in front of Jiang You, the space rippled faintly.

Immediately after, a black spatial rift, half a meter wide and exuding a claustrophobic aura, was silently torn open in mid-air!

"Clatter clatter—!"

Before the spatial rift had completely stabilized, a crisp clattering sound, like a torrential downpour or a large batch of coins falling, instantly resounded throughout the room!

Countless storage rings of various styles and materials, shimmering with faint spiritual light and the luster of various gemstones, space bracelets, and even expensive space belts, poured out crazily from that black spatial rift like a mudslide that had burst its banks!

Various storage spirit artifacts piled up together.

On the soft carpet in front of Jiang You's bed, in the blink of an eye, a glittering "mountain of jewelry" more than half a person tall appeared!

Intense spatial fluctuations and residual spiritual light from the treasures intertwined in the room, illuminating the pitch-black suite in colorful hues.

Looking at the staggering wealth they had scraped together with their own hands, [Right Hand] rubbed its hands excitedly and shouted in the mental space:

"Brothers, the happy job of opening blind boxes begins!"

"Keep the valuable hard currency and pills, pick out all the worthless junk, the Slacker Ruler will help us dispose of it!"

[Kidneys] could no longer hold back and wished it could dive headfirst into that pile of storage rings.

"Holy crap! This bottle is Peak Fourth-Order beast blood! It's mine!"

"Although this cultivation technique is incomplete, the material is ancient jade, which can refine spiritual energy, take it, take it!"

"We're rich, we're rich! These prodigies usually look so full of themselves, but they actually have quite a lot of good stuff hidden away!"

The organs had a clear division of labor and moved as nimbly as veteran employees who had worked on an assembly line for ten years. In less than half an hour, the mountain of stolen goods had been completely looted.

Subsequently, the suppression of the main consciousness was lifted, the organs fell into dormancy again, and the room returned to deathly silence, leaving only Jiang You's thunderous, earth-shaking snoring.

...

Early the next morning.

The morning sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows onto the soft bed in the presidential suite.

"Whew—comfortable!"

Jiang You woke up happily from his sleep. He gave a big stretch under the covers, and his joints let out a series of "cracking" sounds.

"Sleeping until I wake up naturally, and having a free luxury buffet breakfast to eat—this is life!"

Thinking of the unlimited supply of sausages, fried eggs, beef noodles, and various seafood in the restaurant downstairs, the corners of Jiang You's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he was almost drooling.

He did a carp kip-up, sprang out of bed, shuffled in his slippers, hummed an off-key tune, and swayed into the spacious bathroom.

Picking up his toothbrush and squeezing on toothpaste, Jiang You brushed his teeth with a mouthful of white foam while admiring his handsome face in the mirror.

"Brush, brush, brush..."

Just as he switched the cup to his left hand to rinse his mouth.

Jiang You's movements froze without warning.

His gaze was glued tightly to the index finger of his left hand.

There, a black ring, familiar to the point of being sickening, with a dark luster on its surface, was sitting quietly on his finger.

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough!"

Jiang You was so shocked that he sprayed a mouthful of toothpaste foam all over the mirror, almost choking himself to death.

He scrambled backward two steps, his back hitting the bathroom wall with a "bang," and his dead-fish eyes instantly went wide.

"This... how did this damn ring come back?!"

Jiang You gasped, feeling a chill creeping up the back of his neck. He remembered it clearly!

Yesterday in that so-called Forbidden Zone No. 009, he had clearly been visited by a thief!

This high-level storage ring, which could fit two bottles of Erguotou, had long since been swiped!

At that time, he even raised his hand in protest in the plaza, demanding that the Organizing Committee check the surveillance footage to catch the thief!

"Could it be that the thief had a change of heart, not only sending me out of the secret realm but also taking a taxi to the hotel overnight to return the ring to me?"

"That's not right! The hotel security is so tight that even a fly can't fly in; who could have put the ring back on my finger without me knowing?"

Jiang You swallowed hard. Driven by intense curiosity, he tentatively split off a wisp of consciousness and carefully probed into the recovered storage ring.

He wanted to see if the thief had stolen his two empty liquor bottles.

However, the moment Jiang You's consciousness saw the scene inside the storage space!

"Holy crap!!!"

Jiang You let out a shrill scream, pulled his hand back from mid-air as if electrocuted, shivering like a sieve, and almost flushed the ring down the toilet on the spot!

What did he see?!

Inside the ring, there was a colorful, gaudy little mountain piled up!

That wasn't gold or treasure.

It was a huge pile of women's lingerie in various styles with pitifully little fabric!

Lace, translucent, rhinestone-studded... it was basically a miniature Victoria's Secret exhibition gallery!

Beside the lingerie, there was a messy pile of half-used lipsticks, chipped powder compacts, and even a few pairs of tactical stockings with holes in them!

These daily necessities exuded various mixed scents of perfume and sweat, and they were just shoved into his private ring, bright and bare!

Jiang You leaned against the wall, his Legs going weak, his Brain crashing wildly.

"This... this scene... why does it feel so familiar?"
