"Of course, you think the magic ring only serves that purpose? As your pocket?" Tesla was quite dismissive of Lin Feng's surprise, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.
Lin Feng was also astonished to learn that the magic ring had other functions, and after the initial surprise, curiosity set in. However, at that moment, Dong Jie was still enduring the agony of pain, and Lin Feng had no mood to explore the other functions of the magic ring with Tesla. He could only urge, "Quickly tell me how to use the magic ring to heal!"
"Kid, you need to think carefully; after using it, the space inside your magic ring might shrink," Tesla said, noticing Lin Feng's urgency. He decided not to waste any more time but felt it necessary to inform Lin Feng about certain things beforehand.
"Shrink? Does that mean the storage space will become smaller?" Lin Feng asked.
"Yes. Actually, using the magic ring for healing is essentially utilizing the 'spatial energy' within it. You can think of this energy as similar to what you call inner strength on Earth. Naturally, the more you use it, the less energy there will be," Tesla explained.
"So this 'spatial energy' supports the space inside the magic ring?" Lin Feng quickly accepted Tesla's explanation.
"Yes, you can understand it that way," Tesla nodded with a smile.
"Then how do I use the energy in the magic ring to treat her?" Lin Feng didn't consider the issue of energy depletion; seeing Dong Jie's pained expression made his heart ache, and he no longer cared about the potential consequences of reduced space in the magic ring.
"Heh... Not bad; you're the most unconventional Earthling I've met. Using the spatial energy from the magic ring is very simple. It's just like taking something out from it; you only need to release your Mental Power to guide it. Then direct it through your hand onto your sister's lower abdomen, and it will immediately relieve her pain." A hint of appreciation appeared on Tesla's face for Lin Feng's choice. Tesla was a character who straddled both good and evil; he could disregard Walker Alien laws and get arrested or be moved by Lin Feng's loyalty and compassion.
Ignoring Tesla's musings, Lin Feng hurriedly placed his right hand on Dong Jie's abdomen and prepared to guide this "spatial energy" into her body using his Mental Power.
Before Lin Feng could start, Tesla roared, "You little brat, what are you doing trying to guide energy through her clothes? That's pointless! Those garments will absorb some of that energy too. Do you still want to keep your magic ring?"
It wasn't surprising that Tesla was furious; although using the spatial energy from within the magic ring would cause its space to shrink, he knew that even if it shrank, there would still be enough room for him. But with someone like Lin Feng trying to guide spatial energy into a body through clothing, the amount of energy loss would increase significantly, naturally making the space inside the magic ring even smaller.
Tesla did not want to be squeezed inside the magic ring because of Lin Feng's actions; just imagining himself being crushed or even having his soul scattered made him want to curse.
Realizing this, Lin Feng hesitated. He was close to Dong Jie, but lifting her in a panic like earlier was already a first for him; let alone asking her to remove her clothes so he could treat her.
"Jie Jie, I need to pull up your clothes around your abdomen. Do you trust me?" Lin Feng could only think of a compromise and asked.
"Dong Jie, I believe in you." Without a second thought, Dong Jie agreed. She didn't feel the same wariness towards Lin Feng as she did with other men.
The simple trust from the four of them gave Lin Feng a sense of satisfaction, especially since those words came from Dong Jie. It helped him suppress his embarrassment as he focused intently on using his Mental Power to guide the spatial energy from the magic ring for healing.
As his hands touched Dong Jie's smooth and flat skin, Lin Feng's heart raced uncontrollably, and he felt a flush creep onto his face.
Dong Jie also felt a bit shy. Seeing Lin Feng's awkward expression, she teased him, "Lin Feng, relying on this skill to charm girls could be an advantage."
Lin Feng relaxed significantly at Dong Jie's playful remark. If the girl wasn't shy, why should he, a man in his thirties, still feel embarrassed?
Gathering his focus, Lin Feng placed both hands on Dong Jie's abdomen, carefully controlling the spatial energy drawn from the magic ring.
Watching Lin Feng's concentrated gaze and feeling the piercing pain gradually ease, Dong Jie closed her eyes in relief.
Tesla had made it sound simple, but Lin Feng realized just how difficult it was once he started. It was not as easy as merely storing items; the Mental Power consumed was making him feel dizzy for the first time. This sensation was unprecedented.
"Ha..." He let out a long breath, his face pale. He murmured to himself, "Finally, it's done."
At that moment, Dong Jie had already fallen asleep. Lin Feng wasn't surprised; the pain relief after such intense agony often led to fatigue, which was completely normal.
Seeing that Dong Jie was in dreamland, Lin Feng re-entered the magic ring. Fortunately, the space inside had only decreased by one-tenth.
"Hey, not bad for a little brat; you've only reduced it by one-tenth. I've already transmitted the formula to your brain; just find a pharmacy to get the medicine," Tesla noted with some relief that Lin Feng had only diminished his dwelling by a fraction.
"Got it. Old Buddy, what other functions does the magic ring have?" Now that Dong Jie was fine, Lin Feng turned his attention back to Tesla's earlier mention of the ring's other capabilities; it would be a lie to say he wasn't curious.
"Heh... Well, you're still too weak right now. Just guiding the spatial energy took you so much effort; knowing more wouldn't help," Tesla seemed to have anticipated Lin Feng's curiosity but had no intention of sharing further details—simply because Lin Feng was too weak at present.
"Can't you reveal just a little?" Knowing there were more uses for the magic ring made it impossible for Lin Feng to simply give up.
"Haha... Kid, you only need to understand that what you know about the magic ring is just the tip of the iceberg. You'll have to explore on your own," Tesla had grown accustomed to teasing Lin Feng and found amusement in suppressing him. Besides, with Lin Feng's current Mental Power being too weak, any information would merely be pie in the sky.
"Well, you should at least tell me how to improve my Mental Power!" Seeing that it was impossible to get anything out of this Old Buddy, Lin Feng had no choice but to settle for second best and ask about ways to enhance his Mental Power.
"Hehe... that depends on luck; I don't know yet," Tesla replied, giving Lin Feng an answer that nearly made him spit blood.
Damn it, relying on luck. If he could, Lin Feng really wanted to hit Tesla on the head with that wine bottle. But considering the traditional respect for elders and the fact that Tesla was currently in a spiritual state, he let it go. He covered Dong Jie with a blanket and went out to prepare some medicine for her.
As Lin Feng locked the shop door, he happened to see Li Zhong squatting at the entrance. "This Little Li Flying Dagger's successor has quite a bit of determination," Lin Feng thought as he walked over.
Lin Feng was indeed interested in Li Zhong's Little Li Flying Dagger technique, but he didn't know Li Zhong's background or intentions. So earlier, he had deliberately ignored him. Now, it seemed that although Li Zhong couldn't be absolutely trusted, it would still be good to make contact.
After all, this guy's understanding of the Wolf Gang was much deeper than Lin Feng's as a well-behaved Student in his past life.
If possible, Lin Feng also wanted to ask him about the local Casino. He had thought about it and realized that with his abilities, if he wanted to quickly make some money, he really needed to take risks in high-reward places like Casinos.
As for the so-called "high risk," Lin Feng completely ignored it; in the absolute domain of the magic ring, risks simply did not exist.
Gambling was just a no-cost venture for Lin Feng now; money came quickly. It was practically "making something out of nothing," and Lin Feng considered himself not foolish enough to refuse such an opportunity.
The Casino was something Lin Feng greatly yearned for.
