Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

Despite its name, the storage pocket is actually a portable container made of special monster leather and constantly equipped with folding space magic inside.

The main material Sean used to craft the storage pouch was the stomach of a monster with spatial abilities.

From the outside, it is a palm-sized, dark gray leather bag with a delicate and elastic feel.

"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly today."

"I bought it very easily."

Sean still has 300 Dimensional Gold Coins left from selling the Power Emblem Ring, plus the Dimensional Gold Coins he already had.

He currently possesses 780 Dimensional Coins.

In addition, he also has a thousand dimensional silver coins and a thousand dimensional bronze coins.

This is already a huge sum of money.

Sean first transferred all the dimensional currency into his storage pocket.

Then he tried to practice storing and retrieving coins repeatedly—a dimensional coin would appear in his palm and disappear into his bag the next moment.

At the beginning, Sean's movements seemed a bit clumsy, and his rhythm was frequently interrupted.

However, it didn't take long for him to fully master the techniques.

The tidying process was smooth and quick.

With just a clear thought, the dimensional coins moved in and out of the storage pocket as easily as if they were part of an arm, with almost no delay.

Sean nodded in satisfaction; the convenience of this basic storage item was truly impressive.

During battle, it won't delay anything at all.

Sean considered putting the spatial equipment into his equipment slot, but he tried it and found that equipping it did not provide any other benefits and the amount of space it added was limited.

He then abandoned that plan. Now he only had two equipment slots, and he had to make good use of each one.

........................

Sean left the Hero Association at 10:20 a.m. and didn't get home until 5 p.m.

During this period, he was making large-scale purchases in preparation for his upcoming long journey.

"I bought 100 boxes of hunger-resistant pills this time."

Although Sean has the ability to succumb to flesh and blood, he can fill his stomach by consuming the flesh and blood of monsters.

"However, the elite Fallen Demon remains are of a lower level and will have to be replaced sooner or later."

Once he obtains a more powerful relic and equips it, replacing the current Fallen Relic, this useful sustain skill will immediately disappear.

Fallen Flesh is a racial skill of Fallen Ones, not something Sean is capable of learning.

Although Sean could continue to choose to equip himself with the remains of the more powerful Fallen race.

"But... there's no need for that."

There are many types of monsters, each with its own characteristics.

Just for the sake of food, the infinite possibilities of the equipment slot are needlessly limited.

Doing that is really stupid.

"Hunger-resistant pills are inexpensive and take up very little space."

Even if you buy 100 boxes, they're only about the size of a backpack when put together.

"I now have three cubic meters of storage space, which fits in easily."

Next to the hunger-resistant pills were groups of steel ingots, each ingot being a standard cuboid, about the size of a brick.

The surface of the steel ingot is a unique silvery-gray color after the metal has cooled, with smooth edges and a heavy feel in the hand.

Metal Devouring grants Sean the ability to regenerate health by absorbing metal.

These steel ingots are the best healing potions in Sean's hands.

Furthermore, he discovered a rather useful application of unorthodox cultivation—

After using the Metal Devourer skill to absorb metal, it can also provide him with energy, and this skill can completely replace normal eating.

"So... what the hell are all these skills of mine?"

They either devour the flesh and blood of monsters or digest metal ingots.

The art style is simply unbearable to look at.

"Can't you have... even slightly more normal skills?"

Sean looked at his increasingly "unique" skill set, his expression somewhat subtle.

If others saw me absorbing metal to recover health, they'd probably see me as a monster, right?

There are actually quite a few heroes among them who possess shapeshifting abilities.

However, the idea of ​​an entire arm turning into liquid metal tentacles like when using a metal-devouring skill is still too terrifying.

"If someone sees us, should we just kill her to keep quiet?"

Sean chuckled and made a joke.

These metal ingots occupy approximately half a cubic meter.

"Bring some extra just in case, they're not worth much anyway."

If all else fails, you can just throw it away when you run out of storage space.

The remaining half-cubic meter space was filled with a large amount of miscellaneous items.

Surviving in the wild is not easy, and all aspects must be carefully considered.

He bought 20 backup power panels in one go, especially the backup power panels.

It's certain that the internet will be cut off in the wild.

However, as long as there is sufficient energy, the information cached in the regional information board can still be used.

"We'll be spending a long time in the wild this time, I wonder if these 20 energy panels will be enough?"

I also bought three sets of compasses.

This time, the compass he bought was more advanced and had more complete functions.

He relied entirely on these compasses to avoid getting lost in the wilderness.

Sean regrets that he didn't work hard enough when he was studying wilderness exploration in school.

Although they can operate the compass in a basic way, their proficiency is not particularly high.

It's just that I can barely recognize the coordinates.

"You only realize how little you know when you need to use it!"

Even if he had studied very hard back then, it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference.

The location of the monster's lair where Twilight Souls resides is far too remote.

They had reached the edge of Settlement Thirteen, and the route from there to Settlement Three was one that no one had ever traveled before.

Even if he had memorized "Field Route Learning" perfectly back then, the knowledge in the textbook could only offer limited help when faced with such a primitive region that was almost "pioneering".

"So, completely clueless, we just have to keep going!"

He couldn't possibly hire a guide to lead the way.

He has too many secrets, making it inconvenient for him to travel with others.

In addition, the danger level of this training trip is too high.

While he may not be in great danger with his abilities, he might not be able to protect others.

Finally, there's the issue of drinking water.

After a hero awakens, their physical structure is quite different from that of an ordinary person.

They lose far less water than ordinary people and have a relatively lower demand for water resources.

However, that doesn't mean it's unnecessary.

Short-term training in the wild is not a big problem even without water.

However, if this continues for a long time, the body's functions will gradually decline due to dehydration.

In the perilous wilderness, any weakening of one's condition can be fatal.

Although there are some normal, drinkable water resources in the wild.

However, most of those locations are in the areas surrounding settlements, and once you venture into the wilderness, the vast majority of water resources are polluted and undrinkable.

Therefore, it is essential to have a sufficient supply of drinking water before a long journey.

"When adventurers venture into the wilderness, the best way to replenish their fluids is to carry Water Droplets."

These hydrogel beads are solid water essence that has been highly compressed and purified through alchemy.

Each one is about the size of a glass bead and exists in the form of a round bead.

When you need to drink water, simply put it in a container and tear off the packaging.

When the water droplets combine with the air, they slowly release about one liter of pure drinking water.

Its small size, light weight, and stable properties make it the ideal drinking water supply for adventurous travelers.

Sean bought over a thousand hydrogel beads in one go, almost emptying an entire store.
