Before long, Xu Jianxing had some insights. However, he was still a bit curious about why he had two secondary professions. After all, the game had stated that a person could generally only choose one secondary profession, and he seemed to have not chosen a secondary profession at the time.
"Could it be because of that All-Powerful God's Ring?!!!"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Xu Jianxing. He had been struck by lightning because of the ring, and now with the appearance of two secondary professions, he was almost certain that his changes were closely related to the ring.
"Whether it is or not, another experiment will tell." Xu Jianxing looked at the 12 secondary professions and ultimately chose the Sacrificer profession for the experiment, as it could be used at level zero and was the most convenient.
In the game, level 30 was equivalent to a Xiantian warrior according to the internal classification. As for the other secondary professions, except for the Fisherman, he couldn't activate any of them at his current level.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Jianxing took out a one-yuan coin from his pocket, raised his palm to the sky, and stared at the coin, silently thinking, "Sacrifice."
"Hmm, no change." Xu Jianxing looked at the coin still in his hand, feeling a bit disappointed. Could it be that his approach was wrong? Despite this, he unwillingly repeated "sacrifice" three more times, but the coin remained unchanged.
Even so, Xu Jianxing did not give up completely. He immediately turned his attention to the game and directly chose the Sacrificer profession for his game character. He wanted to see how sacrifices were made in the game and if there were any specific conditions.
After making the choice, Xu Jianxing opened the Sacrificer profession section. His game character was seen sitting cross-legged in mid-air, hands held up, and a square space bar appeared above his hands. The character was surrounded by colorful light, looking extremely brilliant.
At a glance, Xu Jianxing knew how to sacrifice. He directly moved a piece of beginner equipment from his storage to the space bar above his character's hands and clicked the confirm button.
The character was quickly enveloped by colorful light, and a message appeared: "Great Star God, your humble servant Xuanyuan Po sincerely offers you a precious gift. May the Star God accept your humble servant's sacrifice and bestow your blessings."
Just as Xu Jianxing finished reading the message, the light surrounding the character flashed, and a copper coin appeared in the space bar. "Xuanyuan Po" was the name of his game character.
Xu Jianxing shook his head with a laugh. A piece of junk equipment worth 10 copper coins had been reduced to just one through this sacrifice. It was truly a rip-off.
However, even so, Xu Jianxing believed that many people would choose the Sacrificer profession in the game, as there were few people in this world who didn't like gambling.
At this moment, Xu Jianxing didn't have too many thoughts. He sat down cross-legged, mimicking the posture of his game character, closed his eyes, and held the one-yuan coin in his hands. He began to pray sincerely, "Great Star God, your humble servant Xuanyuan Po, uh, no..."
With a bitter smile, Xu Jianxing steadied his nerves and started praying again, "Great Star God, your humble servant Xu Jianxing sincerely offers you a precious gift. May the Star God accept your humble servant's sacrifice and bestow your blessings."
As the words "bestow your blessings" fell, Xu Jianxing sensitively felt a change in the surrounding energy. He then felt a sudden weight in his hands, which dropped slightly.
"It worked!!!" Although Xu Jianxing did not open his eyes, the joy in his heart could not be suppressed. He had not expected it to succeed. At the same time, a stream of energy appeared in his dantian. He quickly opened his eyes and saw a large brick in his hand.
Without paying attention to the brick, he placed it aside because that was not the focus. He began to search for the coin. After a while, he confirmed that the coin was indeed gone. At this point, he fully believed that the changes in his body were due to the ring in the game.
After a moment of thought, Xu Jianxing began to recall the specific attributes of the ring.
In no time, he remembered all the attributes of the ring. This was not only because it had not been long since he received it, but also because his memory had improved significantly.
All-Powerful God's Ring, a non-graded spiritual artifact, with all attributes increased by 10. This 10 was likely the root cause of his improved physical attributes. If he remembered correctly, in many online game novels, the initial attributes of characters were often 10, although there were also 1 or 5. However, based on the changes in his physical attributes, 1 or 5 was impossible.
The ring had 10 storage slots, and every 10 levels, 2 more slots were added.
"Storage slots?!! A spatial ring?"
At this thought, Xu Jianxing's spirit was shaken, and his body trembled uncontrollably. "Could it be real?"
"Phew..." Xu Jianxing took a deep breath and thought, "Whether it's real or not, an experiment will tell."
He immediately focused on the brick on the ground and thought, "Store, go in!"
As his thoughts spread, in a moment, Xu Jianxing felt something in his mind as if it had suddenly emerged. Before he could think clearly, the brick on the ground disappeared without a trace.
"It really works."
Xu Jianxing was overjoyed, his eyes almost popping out. At this moment, he felt incredibly fortunate to have been struck by lightning. If such good fortune could come from it, he would be willing to be struck ten or a hundred times.
A sense of indescribable excitement and happiness began to spread in Xu Jianxing's chest, and it took a long time for his emotions to stabilize. He then wondered, "If it can really store items, where is the ring?"
As his thoughts flowed, Xu Jianxing's gaze involuntarily swept over his hands. When his eyes fell on his left pinky, they immediately focused. He saw a ring that had mysteriously appeared on his pinky, with a surface that shimmered with seven colors and a continuous flow of starlight, looking extremely dazzling.
"Indeed, it's the ring!"
Seeing the ring, Xu Jianxing was not only overjoyed but also confirmed that his changes were due to the ring.
Based on Xu Jianxing's speculations, the ring had not appeared initially because it had undergone a soul binding process, similar to how in novels, when the protagonist performs a blood recognition ritual, the divine or immortal artifacts first enter the protagonist's mind or dantian before manifesting or transforming.
Thinking of this, Xu Jianxing couldn't help but wonder, "This ring is too dazzling. Can it become more ordinary, like a silver ring?"
As soon as the thought arose, Xu Jianxing noticed that the ring's light had dimmed, and its surface began to ripple. In an instant, it turned into an ordinary silver ring, looking extremely plain.
"Ha ha, great, very great." Xu Jianxing beamed, his excitement lasting for a long time before he calmed down.
To be safe, he imitated the blood recognition ritual from novels, biting his finger and dripping blood onto the ring's surface. As soon as the blood touched the ring, it trembled slightly and was slowly absorbed, looking incredibly magical.
Seeing this, Xu Jianxing finally felt at ease. He then began to play with the ring, storing an ashtray, a teacup, and then throwing them out again.
When Xu Jianxing tried to store a large suitcase, he suddenly felt a dizziness in his mind. Although he managed to store the suitcase, he felt a mental fatigue, as if his brain had been overused.
After a long while, Xu Jianxing recovered somewhat and said with a bitter smile, "It seems that in reality, this ring is not as easy to use as I thought, and there are some limitations."
Through this exploration, Xu Jianxing learned that each storage slot could be infinitely large or small. It could hold a suitcase or just a teacup. Each slot could only hold one item.
However, there was a loophole. For example, a suitcase was one item, but it contained many clothes, which were hidden inside the suitcase.
In other words, although the 10 slots were limited, they could theoretically hold infinitely large items, provided his mental energy was also infinite.
Otherwise, he would risk his mental energy collapsing before he could store anything.
After a moment of thought, Xu Jianxing focused his mind, and the suitcase in the storage slot opened. Inside, it was half full of clothes, and nothing else happened.
"Seeing" this, Xu Jianxing chuckled. As his gaze and thoughts moved, "swish," a cup appeared in the suitcase without any change.
"Yay!" Xu Jianxing cheered excitedly. His idea had worked. This meant he had not just 10 storage slots but potentially infinite ones, as long as he placed a sufficiently large storage box in each slot, like a huge wardrobe or a container.
Although the idea was successful, Xu Jianxing was also aware that achieving it was currently impossible. After all, modifying things required money, and he was short of money.
However, he believed that making money was not a big issue for him now. If he wanted to make money quickly, he could buy drugs in Jinshan City and use the ring's storage function to secretly transport them to a certain island country and sell them.
Although he thought about it, Xu Jianxing would never do it. After all, aside from the risks of sales and black market dealings, just getting the drugs to the island country without being caught was too risky. For him now, the risks far outweighed the benefits.
"Money, money, I need to find a way to make money quickly." Xu Jianxing set a temporary goal for himself: to find a way to make money. As for upgrading skills, he would put that on hold for now.
