Chapter 062: "You Are a Good Person"

Storage card!

As the name implies, a storage card is a card capable of storing items. Its interior contains an independent space, and it can be sealed onto any part of Su Jingxing’s body. In other words, after unlocking this storage card, its miniature space can be placed wherever Su Jingxing wishes—chest, shoulder, brow, thigh, arm… anywhere!

For ease of access, Su Jingxing decisively placed it in the palm of his hand. The right palm! If he acquires another storage card in the future, he’ll place it in his left palm. With a storage space in his palm, invisible to the naked eye and untouchable, only Su Jingxing’s mind can freely enter and exit.

Su Jingxing carefully examined it and confirmed that the storage space was ten meters long and wide, and two meters high. Although not enormous, it was more than sufficient for his current needs. Treasure blades, throwing knives, secret manuals, cards, corpse-dissolving water, jars of strength pills, jars of vital energy pills—everything could be stored inside, ready for him to retrieve.

In short, the effort expended to slay the giant serpent beast was well worth it. The storage card was far more useful than one-time cards like the Golden Body card, Mighty Force card, Strengthening card, or Invisibility card. Not to mention the Vital Energy card or Power Boost card.

After all, sources for Vital Energy and Power Boost cards are plentiful; as long as it’s a human, strength and energy are basically guaranteed. The Mighty Force card and Strengthening card are similar—any brute possesses them. As for the Martial Arts card and Soul Pacification card, Su Jingxing has yet to unravel their principles and will leave them aside for now.

Only the storage card, with its extremely rare spatial attribute, is unattainable from ordinary humans.

Now Su Jingxing finally understood why the middle of the serpent’s body was so exaggeratedly swollen, much larger than ordinary snakes—at least double. It was the serpent’s innate divine ability! Its stomach formed an independent space, allowing it to store massive quantities of what it consumed.

Of course, the space wasn’t vast; otherwise, the storage space Su Jingxing acquired would have a base area much larger than a hundred square meters.

The cards extracted by his golden finger are always derived from the corpse.

The giant serpent possessed five abilities: defense, slipperiness, spatial distortion, corrosion, and immense strength—possibly even poison.

Su Jingxing was extremely satisfied with having acquired a spatial ability through his golden finger. Defense and immense strength were decent, but slipperiness and corrosion—even if given for free—would require careful consideration. This spatial ability, however, was truly valuable.

Especially the next day, when Su Jingxing was working and moving corpses, he discovered that the newly acquired cards no longer appeared in his pocket but automatically materialized in the storage space, much to his delight.

A tremendous surprise!

Finding cards in his pocket was actually inconvenient. For one thing, if Su Jingxing went out, his clothes needed to have pockets. Now, the functional cards appeared directly in the storage space, which was not only convenient but also eliminated many hidden troubles.

Last night’s endeavor had paid off handsomely!

...

"Xiao Su, what are you laughing about all by yourself? Tell me so I can be happy too!"

During a lull, Gu Bo walked over from afar and called out to Su Jingxing.

"Oh, it’s nothing," Su Jingxing steadied his mind and suppressed his smile, then asked, "Captain, is there something you need?"

"What, can’t I come to you if there’s nothing?" Gu Bo snorted.

"Haha, of course you can," Su Jingxing laughed heartily. "But at this time, Captain, you’re usually busy. If you’re coming to see me now, there’s probably something you want."

"You kid," Gu Bo was surprised, then laughed. "You guessed right, I do have something. Do you remember Zhang Shanfú?"

"Of course, what’s happened?" Su Jingxing asked, puzzled. "He hasn’t gotten into trouble again, has he?"

Zhang Shanfú was the first living person Su Jingxing had discovered while moving corpses.

"Not trouble, exactly. He’s come to thank you," Gu Bo smiled.

"Ah?" Su Jingxing was astonished. "To thank me? He’s out of the hospital already?"

"He insisted on leaving," Gu Bo explained. "Zhang Shanfú’s condition wasn’t serious. After waking up, he was basically fine. The rest was just recuperation. Staying in the hospital costs money—money better spent on good food. So, early this morning, Zhang Shanfú left the hospital and went home."

"As for coming to see you, it’s to express his gratitude. Zhang Shanfú said, if not for you, he’d already be ashes."

"Well…" Su Jingxing hesitated.

Though it was true that without his intervention, Zhang Shanfú would have been cremated, Su Jingxing had never expected any reward.

He knew Zhang Shanfú’s family wasn’t wealthy.

"Don’t worry about it yet. Whether or not you accept, go over and talk to him," Gu Bo waved his hand. "Zhang Shanfú is waiting for you at the gate. You don’t need to stay here right now."

"Alright," Su Jingxing thought it over and nodded. "Thank you, Captain. I’ll be right back."

"You kid, enough with the politeness. Get going!" Gu Bo waved impatiently.

Su Jingxing smiled and headed straight to the gate.

From a distance, he saw Zhang Shanfú, still pale, waiting with his whole family by the pavilion at the gate.

As soon as Su Jingxing approached—

"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"

Led by Zhang Shanfú, the entire family suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Jingxing.

"Oh, oh!" Su Jingxing jumped in shock, hurried over, and tried to help them up. "Please stand up, what are you doing? Get up, please!"

"Benefactor, don’t stop us. Let us kowtow a few times. If we don’t, our hearts won’t rest," Zhang Shanfú’s elderly father, though frail and thin, was surprisingly strong; without using immense strength, Su Jingxing couldn’t move him.

Yet, as Su Jingxing helped one up, another knelt down. With only two hands, he could do nothing but watch as Zhang Shanfú’s family gave him three full kowtows.

After finally calming their emotions, Su Jingxing glanced at the distant families pointing and whispering, sighed, and said, "Uncle Zhang, Grandpa Zhang, you don’t need to do this. At the time, it was just a coincidence—I thought I might be mistaken, so I checked. I never expected any reward."

"We know, we know," Grandpa Zhang wiped tears from the corners of his eyes, his voice choked with emotion. "You… you are a good person."

Su Jingxing was silent.

"Only a truly good person would step forward to check," Grandpa Zhang took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I heard, if not for your insistence, Shanfú would have been sent to the incinerator and burned to ashes."

Zhang Shanfú, hearing this, instinctively trembled.

As the one who experienced it, he felt it most keenly. That terror and relief, gratitude and joy after escaping death—outsiders could never understand. Only he knew its full flavor, and even now he could not completely calm himself. This is why he was determined to repay Su Jingxing.

"Xiao Su, may I call you that?" Zhang Shanfú drew a deep breath and asked tentatively.

"Of course," Su Jingxing nodded.

"Don’t laugh at me, Xiao Su. My family isn’t wealthy. To repay you, honestly, I’m ashamed—I have nothing valuable to offer," Zhang Shanfú said with embarrassment. "But I do have this small item, which I hope you’ll accept."

With that, he drew a small box from his coat and opened it to reveal a—
