Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 73 Stealing a Home

Jin Xiaoyue was carefully examining the black crystal core that Chu Deng had handed her when she suddenly heard Chu Deng's voice.

"arrive."

In the dimly lit sewer pipes, a damp, pungent, and sticky smell lingered.

Although a special deodorizer was added to the sewer pipes, it was still a place where water flowed. In order to suppress the unpleasant smell, the deodorizer itself inevitably had a smell. In addition, a group of rats made their home there, and the various smells mixed together, making Jin Xiaoyue, who had never experienced this before, squint her eyes.

Jin Xiaoyue pinched her nose, and by the light of Chu Deng's lamp, she could see the gray fur scattered on the ground.

Chu Deng adapted well to this environment; she had been to much dirtier and more chaotic places, let alone the bitter, greasy smell of the deodorizing agent fermenting in the sewer pipes.

She bent down and peered into a cave, which was the leader rat's stronghold.

There's a saying in the post-apocalyptic world: those with storage-type spatial abilities are walking granaries and armories.

So, you can't miss stealing the old home of the space-stealing system, no matter what else you miss.

After Chu Deng dug out the leader rat's crystal core, he found a hole in a corner of the school's auditorium, confirming that the leader rat was a space-type creature that was half storage and half teleportation.

Unlike elemental users, spatial ability users are divided into two categories. One type has storage space, and as their ability grows, the capacity of their space increases. In the later stages, their space can even accommodate a city.

Chu Deng had once met a level six spatial ability user in the apocalypse, but she didn't know how that person had leveled up. However, that level six spatial ability user had merged the entire city with his own space, and all people and things had to get permission to enter, including zombies. Therefore, it was called the "Shangri-La" in the apocalypse.

The only regrettable thing is that "Peach Blossom Spring" cannot accept people with superpowers; it can only accept ordinary people.

Chu Deng suspected that it was caused by the repulsion between crystal nuclei.

Another type of spatial system is the offensive type, which should be more accurately called the assassination style.

They can open up space anytime, anywhere, and teleport to a fixed point. Through the black hole of the space system, the direction of superpower attacks can be changed. Space-type superpower users can unexpectedly emerge and attack through their own black hole.

The drawback of teleportation space system is that it cannot teleport ordinary people. There have been attempts by teleportation space system ability users, and ordinary people who passed through the black hole would bleed from all seven orifices and die instantly.

Chu Deng believed that it was caused by the fact that ordinary people could not withstand the pressure of spatial transformation.

There is also the spatial system that combines the two, which can both teleport and store items, but its disadvantage is that it is good at one thing but not at another. It does not have the space of the storage system, nor the distance of the teleportation system.

At that time, the leader rat suddenly entered Chu Deng's senses. Chu Deng confirmed that it used teleportation. However, after Chu Deng killed the leader rat, some crystal cores, exotic plants, and some food suddenly burst out from the leader rat's corpse. This was another death characteristic of the storage space system.

Chu Deng, who originally only wanted the space system crystal core, immediately decided to make a fortune, after all, she still owed the mercenary Qing Tian 300 million!

After obtaining Jin Xiaoyue's consent, Chu Deng and his friends followed the hole dug by the rats to the sewers and finally found the territory of the leader rat.

Chu Deng ventured into the leader rat's lair, lit a fire, looked around, and picked up a bunch of things to hand out to Jin Xiaoyue.

Jin Xiaoyue took off her coat and spread it out on the ground, then took the things Chu Deng handed her one by one.

Hmm... a little ruby, a little sapphire, a little emerald, a big sapphire, a little ruby, a bag of rice, a bag of millet, a bag of red beans, a little topaz... a bone?

Jin Xiaoyue looked up at Chu Deng, who nodded to her: "This is a good thing. Look at the golden ripples on this bone. This is the leg bone of a gold-type mutant dog. One ring represents level one. There are two rings here, so it's a level two gold-type mutant dog. It's hard enough to penetrate bulletproof glass."

"So amazing!" Jin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly put the bone under the gemstone, hiding it very well.

Chu Deng found a treasure and excitedly continued to rummage through its contents.

Goode's bag, Wenke's watch, Malilai's diamond necklace, the jingling jade bracelet, Shuilanjiao's perfume...

"This rat has quite a good eye..." Jin Xiaoyue commented. These items are all world-renowned luxury goods, each with a considerable value.

"I guess he stole some rich woman's wardrobe." Chu Deng even saw a beautiful silk lingerie.

"...Should we still search?" Jin Xiaoyue felt that if they took these things back to the dormitory, people would think they had gone thieves in the middle of the night.

"Take anything related to superpowers, and leave the rest of the luxury goods at the police station entrance," Chu Deng said after a moment's thought.

“Okay.” Jin Xiaoyue had no objection. She and Dengdeng were not short of money, and these luxury goods were of no use to them.

Chu Deng patted the dust off his hands, his palms glowing with fire, and used the fire to soften the wall where the leader rat had made a hole before re-pasting it.

Jin Xiaoyue tied a knot in her coat containing her belongings, hugged it to her chest, and followed Chu Deng back to the auditorium. Seeing that Chu Deng had sealed the opening leading to the sewer, she couldn't help but step on it.

“It’s solid, so no one will fall in,” Chu Deng said.

"Really?" Jin Xiaoyue exclaimed, her eyes shining as she stared at her friend's palm.

The lamp with fire coming out of the palm is so cool!

The scene of Chu Deng confidently smiling as he stepped on the rat's tail kept replaying in her mind, and her admiration surged so much that it was about to overflow.

Tonight was so exciting!

Her best friend was like a war god in the night, battling countless rats and even taking her to dig up rat holes and collect gems!

Just like the various fantastic adventures she watched as a child, Jin Xiaoyue was dazzled and excited to the point of losing her bearings.

She had so many questions she wanted to ask Chu Deng, and so many thoughts she wanted to share with her friend.

Chu Deng understood her excitement and gestured for her to calm down. He then said to Jin Xiaoyue, who was covered in dust, "Wait five minutes for me to deliver something. You take the crystal core and go back to your dorm to take a shower first."

Jin Xiaoyue nodded, and the two parted ways at the dormitory entrance. Chu Deng took Jin Xiaoyue's coat and went to the police station, which was a bit far from the school.

There is a police station near Haishi No. 1 High School, with patrol booths at all four gates, but Chu Deng cannot go there. If it is too close, it will be easy for someone to track down Haishi No. 1 High School. She would rather walk a little further to send her there.

Chu Deng doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, and she doesn't care at all if someone loses something. But when Jin Xiaoyue saw this, she noticed the fleeting look of heartache in her friend's eyes, so she took the initiative to suggest this solution.

Jin Xiaoyue is a rich heiress, but also an excellent student with a strong sense of empathy.

Chu Deng didn't want to see her friend's troubled expression, so she could only reluctantly try to be a good citizen and a good robber who returned lost property.

Of course, supernatural crystal cores cannot be included.
