Liang Laixi held the small bag in his hands as if in a dream, taking quite some time before he gradually regained his composure. He had no doubts about the appearance of this spatial pocket bag.
Since those without psychic energy couldn’t alter the form of Spirit Cards, it made perfect sense to directly craft the Spirit Card into its already transformed shape… Though simple and straightforward, it was indeed the best possible choice.
In truth, many people possessed spatial pockets. Given the choice, no one would willingly carry large and small bags when going out. Those with both wealth and psychic energy would almost certainly acquire a spatial pocket.
The small minority who didn’t have one weren’t unwilling—they simply couldn’t find a place to buy them.
Naturally, Liang Laixi had seen others use spatial pockets. Filled with excitement, he imitated their actions and tried to open the bag’s seal… Hmm, it didn’t open.
He looked up at Chi Yun Su with a bewildered expression, only to see her chuckle before offering guidance: “Hold your citizen ID against that green energy block. You need to bind it before you can use it.”
Such a bag would undoubtedly store important items. If Chi Yun Su wanted to establish its reputation, she couldn’t leave behind the fatal flaw of allowing anyone to open it.
Locking mechanisms—they absolutely had to be added.
Liang Laixi immediately grasped the benefits this feature could bring, looking at Chi Yun Su as if she were a deity. Without a word, he solemnly followed her instructions. Sure enough, after binding his citizen identity, he easily opened the small bag.
Reaching his hand inside, Liang Laixi felt as though he were probing into an endless void.
It was a completely novel experience, even though he soon touched the boundaries of this “endless void.”
But for Liang Laixi, the significance of this experience was profoundly different.
As someone without psychic energy, he had suddenly experienced a world that had been closed off to him since the day he was born.
Some of the emotions Liang Laixi displayed toward Chi Yun Su were somewhat performative, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a complex and indescribable sentiment.
In this world, there was no difference in status between those with psychic energy and those without. Yet, there were certain conveniences that those without psychic energy couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss over.
Even though Liang Laixi was very wealthy, and some people had nothing remarkable besides their psychic energy, the feeling remained.
However, Liang Laixi was already a middle-aged man and wouldn’t be controlled by fleeting emotions. He quickly turned to Chi Yun Su and asked, “How large is the space inside?”
“For the green one, it’s only half a cubic meter,” Chi Yun Su replied.
This storage capacity was actually smaller than that of most green Spatial Pocket Cards.
This wasn’t due to Chi Yun Su’s lack of skill. Rather, the original Spatial Pocket Cards were controlled directly by the user’s psychic energy, with no need to consider energy consumption—they could be made as large as possible. In contrast, Chi Yun Su prioritized versatility by using an energy source to power it. To ensure long-term use and overall space stability, she had to compromise on size.”The items you can put in basically can’t exceed the width of a palm, and it can only be opened and closed about ten thousand times. Once the energy block is depleted and turns transparent, it can’t be used anymore.” Seeing Liang Laixi’s continuous excitement, which had already attracted the attention of many people, Chi Yun Su poured cold water on him. “Those with psychic energy can see what’s inside and take it directly, while those without have to feel around to retrieve things.”
These drawbacks meant little in Liang Laixi’s eyes.
As for the usage limit, practically all Cards could be considered consumables—some were just so durable they could outlast several generations.
As for the other aspects, being usable and retrievable—how could those be considered drawbacks? Liang Laixi, who often had to carry large and small bags when going out, inwardly expressed outrage.
But as a shrewd person, he naturally understood why Chi Yun Su suddenly told him all this. Sheepishly, he put away the small green bag, though his eyes couldn’t help but glance at the large backpack on Chi Yun Su’s back.
If Chi Yun Su could casually toss him a spatial pocket, it was obvious she had one herself. So why was she still carrying such a large backpack?
Chi Yun Su had no intention of explaining Liang Laixi’s confusion.
After obtaining enough materials from Yu Yin, Chi Yun Su had naturally made a spatial pocket for herself. Of course, since she had psychic energy, she made the ordinary version—a thin purple Card tucked inside her pocket, with a huge capacity and great convenience, though it had cost her quite a bit of materials.
Now, all her valuable items were actually stored inside it. The things stuffed into the backpack on her back were mostly worthless, with only a few items she thought she might need when interacting with others placed inside.
However, the spatial pocket she gave Liang Laixi wasn’t in the backpack for that reason. It was because spatial items couldn’t be placed inside other spatial items, so Chi Yun Su had to carry it herself.
As for why Chi Yun Su had to carry a large backpack…
It was mainly because she had gained a lot from her experience with Yu Yin. Chi Yun Su wondered if she could use this seemingly abundant-looking backpack to lure in some ill-intentioned people and then pull off a “Black Port” style trick—robbing the robbers.
It was a traditional skill of Black Port people.
Unfortunately, there was no second person as easy to trick as Yu Yin. Chi Yun Su felt quite regretful.
Liang Laixi’s villa in Changning City was located by a picturesque lake. Many celebrities had bought villas here, occasionally coming to relax and unwind. Overall, the privacy was quite high.
However, Liang Laixi himself didn’t live here. He planned to stay directly at his company to finish his movie as quickly as possible.
His original purpose in coming to Changhe Star was for the new recording card. Now that he had the new recording card, most of the footage was still inside. He only needed to extract the missing content from other recording sub-cards and reinsert it.
Although Liang Laixi was somewhat carried away by the spatial pocket, he still remembered what his main job was.
Once the master tape was ready, the next step would be preparing the promotional campaign for the movie’s release.
Liang Laixi clipped the green spatial pocket bag, which clashed completely with his attire, onto his waist.
At that time, he himself would be the best advertisement for this item, and this item would also become the best advertisement for his new movie.
Liang Laixi was full of confidence in this. However, on his very first day at the company, someone immediately noticed the strange green bag on his waist.Anyone who survives in the entertainment industry has sharp eyes. Wasn’t Liang Laixi’s abruptly colored waist pouch deliberately designed to attract everyone’s attention?
Liang Laixi couldn’t rank among the wealthy elites in Long River Galaxy, nor did he hold status among the influential figures. But in the entertainment industry’s directorial circle, he could still secure a spot in the top ten.
Many in the entertainment industry flattered him. Recognizing Liang Laixi’s intention, gentle and considerate men and women naturally approached him to ask about the brand of his bag, remarking how unique it looked.
Well… “unique” was the only compliment one could muster.
After all, one couldn’t expect Chi Yun Su, who previously worked in research and now focused on card crafting, to have any sense of fashion when it came to designing bags, right?
Moreover, the primary colors used in Cards were rarely applied to clothing and accessories, and even if they were, it would only be as minimal accents.
After all, no one wanted to step outside and hear others say, “Look! That person dresses like a Card.”
And Liang Laixi’s bag was purely Card green.
When asked about it, Liang Laixi initially intended to play mysterious, piquing everyone’s curiosity until the new movie premiere, where he could unveil this groundbreaking new spatial pocket.
But as the joke goes: a priest secretly plays golf against doctrine, and as punishment, the gods grant him exceptional skills he can never boast about.
Keeping an earth-shattering secret is, in fact, a torment.
Unsurprisingly, Liang Laixi couldn’t hold back. When the tenth person approached him with questions, he finally opened his spatial pocket and pulled out something entirely disproportionate to the pouch’s size to show them.
“I’m only showing you—you mustn’t tell anyone,” Liang Laixi said.
Three days later, the entire upper society of Changhe Star knew that Liang Laixi possessed a spatial pocket usable even without psychic energy.
Chi Yun Su lived quietly in her Changning City villa, enjoying the scenery and reading books when she wanted to relax, and selecting materials from those delivered by Liang Laixi’s assistant to craft a few spatial pockets when she felt like working.
She didn’t push herself too hard.
Chi Yun Su aimed for fame, to make certain people seek her out—not to work herself to death through overtime.
As someone who sold goods in Black Port, Chi Yun Su understood the principle of scarcity driving value.
There would be plenty of busy days ahead; no need to rush now.
So, five days later, Chi Yun Su felt no surprise when she saw Liang Laixi, unable to withstand the pressure, scurrying back to her in disarray.
