I can equip strange items

Chapter 79 Storage Trash Can?

"South?"

Li Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's the same everywhere now."

The man was silent for a moment, then sighed, "I know, but we have to find a place to survive. Brother, why are you all alone in these mountains? Aren't you afraid of encountering monsters?"

"I'm used to it," Li Yuan said calmly.

He could tell that the man was just an ordinary person; he had no aura of cultivation and no signs of being corrupted by strange forces.

But it's not normal for an ordinary person like him to be able to walk in an environment where there are more and more mutated creatures.

However, judging from the situation, the other party hadn't done anything wrong or attacked him, so he didn't act rashly.

Do you have any food on you?

The man hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "I can buy it with money; I have some cash on me—"

"There aren't any more," Li Yuan shook his head.

He really didn't have any extra food; the roasted wild boar meat he had prepared earlier was all gone.

Disappointment flashed in the man's eyes, but he didn't insist. He simply nodded and said, "Alright then, thank you."

After saying that, he continued walking along the road and soon disappeared into the snowstorm.

Li Yuan watched the other person's back without saying a word.

It wasn't that he was indifferent, but rather that in this increasingly dangerous world, he couldn't possibly help everyone he encountered.

Moreover, he has his own things to do and cannot be distracted by hunting.

Time continued to pass.

Around 3 a.m., I suddenly felt a warm sensation in my mind.

Immediately afterwards, a message appeared on the equipment panel.

[The fragmented Heart of Life has been consumed; the eighth attribute has been successfully solidified; the ninth equipment slot is now open!]

"It's finally solidified!"

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a makeup mirror from his travel bag and equipped it with the makeup mirror's attributes for the first time.

Then, unsurprisingly, this keyword had no effect on him. Clearly, his appearance score, at least from a male perspective, should be over 80.

Name: Li Yuan

[Realm: Ominous Sign (Quasi-Level) Six]

[Current Equipment: Old Makeup Mirror]

[Temporary entry obtained: Adorable Little Darling (Gray)]

[Permanent fixation condition: Learn makeup techniques and apply makeup to any person whose appearance score is below 80, raising their appearance score to 80 or above (0/1)]

[Permanent entries: Escape Expert (White), Eat What You Want (White), Fitness Guru (Green), Night Owl Guru (Green), Listening to Blade (Green), Yin Yang Twin Thunder (Green), Temporary Symbiosis (Green), Equivalent Evolution (Blue)]

【Friendly Reminder 1: ————】

【Friendly Reminder 4: Permanent attributes can be copied by consuming essence and spirit, and bestowed upon all things.】

Eight permanent attributes are now available, and the ninth equipment slot has also been unlocked.

Li Yuan secretly made plans in his heart.

Now that the entry is finalized, let's set off tonight.

Without further delay, he packed his things, left his hiding place, and continued along the road.

As dawn broke, Li Yuan finally arrived at a county town.

This county is called Pingchuan County, located southeast of Donghe City, about 40 kilometers from the city center.

This place was originally a relatively prosperous county town, but now it looks particularly desolate.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

Most of the shops on both sides were closed, with only a few still open, but they were also deserted.

A thin layer of snow covered the road surface, and occasionally a few cars drove by, their wheels crunching over the snow.

Li Yuan walked down the street, taking in his surroundings.

The situation here was better than he had anticipated on the road; at least there was no large-scale chaos or destruction.

However, the tense and uneasy atmosphere in the air could not be concealed.

He found a small supermarket that was still open and went in to buy some food and water.

The supermarket owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Li Yuan walk in, he was taken aback at first, and then he quickly stood up from behind the counter.

"Brother, are you from out of town?" the boss asked tentatively.

"Um."

'

Li Yuan nodded, then casually picked up a bottle of mineral water and a few packets of compressed biscuits: "How much?"

"One hundred dollars," the shopkeeper replied.

"One hundred yuan?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"We can't get any more stock now, this is the price," the shop owner said helplessly.

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, said nothing more, and directly pulled out three red bills and handed them over: "Do you have a power bank?"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "Yes, but what I have here are second-hand."

"Okay, one please," Li Yuan said.

He carries over three million yuan in cash with him and doesn't care about this small amount of money at all.

After paying and taking a used power bank, he turned and left the supermarket.

He found a quiet corner, took out his phone, connected it to a power bank to charge, turned it on, and wanted to see if there was a signal.

Thankfully, my phone still has a signal.

Just then, a voice call came in. It was Lu Jiayin: "Li Yuan, where are you? I have an important discovery to tell you."

Li Yuan replied, "I'm in Pingchuan County, just emerged from the forest. What did I find?"

"Do you remember the strange item with storage effects that you asked me to keep an eye out for?" Lu Jiayin said quickly.

Li Yuan's eyes lit up: "You found it?"

"That's right, but this peculiar and strange object is a trash can."

Lu Jiayin explained, "This trash can has a very powerful storage capacity; the internal space is at least as big as a room, and possibly even larger."

"garbage can?"

Li Yuan was stunned. How could something like this be considered a strange item?

"Yes, a trash can, but don't underestimate it."

Lu Jiayin continued to explain, "This trash can has an amazing storage capacity. It's said to be able to hold several tons of items, and the items won't spoil or be affected by the external environment after being put inside. It's a godsend for people who frequently need to be outdoors."

Li Yuan's heart stirred.

He was worried about the lack of space in his backpack. If he could have a storage space, it would be much more convenient to carry supplies in the future.

I just don't know what the entry for that weird item is?

Could it also be related to storage space?

If so, that would be great.

"However, the cost of using it is rather troublesome. According to intelligence, the user will lose a portion of their memory every time they use this trash can to store or retrieve items."

At this moment, Lu Jiayin spoke again: "The degree of loss is related to the value and quantity of the items stored. The more valuable and numerous the items, the more memories will be lost. It is said that some people have even forgotten who they are because they used this trash can so frequently."

She paused, then added, "Also, things put in the trash can can be destroyed, even strange items. It's a very special ability, so even if it results in memory loss, it's still very valuable. If you really want to exchange for it, be prepared. This strange item doesn't belong to me personally."

Memory loss?

This is indeed a very high price to pay.

In this increasingly dangerous world, memories are not merely recollections of the past; they may also contain crucial intelligence.

Skills and interpersonal relationships.

Forgetting crucial information because of using a trash can can actually put you in danger.

This effect is quite fitting for a trash can.

But—what does this have to do with me?

All I need is the term "trash can," but I don't actually use the trash can.
