At this moment, with Chen Ling’s help, Sui Li’er naturally passed the exam successfully.

“Hehehe~ I’m so happy!” She held Chen Ling’s hand and swayed, waiting for others to finish their exams.

“Chen Ling~” Sui Li’er suddenly called out.

“Hmm?”

“Hehe~ It’s nothing, just calling your name.”

Chen Ling chuckled softly, thinking to himself: Call me “husband” next time.

“Thank you~ You’ve helped me so much! Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to pass!”

Looking at Sui Li’er smiling foolishly, Chen Ling calmly said, “No need to thank me. There will always be a time to repay.” Have a few more kids, or else you won’t make it up to me!

When Sui Li’er heard that Chen Ling also wanted her to help him, she felt needed! She happily said, “I will work hard! One day, I will also be able to help you!”

There were thousands of people in total, initially selecting 100 people to test the waters. As the assessment progressed, more and more people participated simultaneously. However, even so, it still took a certain amount of time to complete all the tests.

Unbeknownst to them, it was already 11 o’clock.

【Ding~ Your ordered Replenishment Deluxe Package from the Monster Realm is about to be delivered. Please be ready to receive it.】

Chen Ling immediately replied, “Just leave it at the doorstep.”

At that moment, outside the homes of Chen Ling and Sui Li’er in Misty Rain City, the massive machine suddenly made a strange sound!

“Beep beep beep!”

The eccentric scientist who had been sitting on the ground was taken aback. He turned around in surprise, his face instantly filled with ecstatic expression: “It’s here! It’s finally coming!”

He immediately bounced up from the ground, wiped the raindrops off his face, and excitedly stared at the machine in front of him. Then, following the directions on the machine, he looked towards the stone house before him, even though he couldn’t see it at all.

At that moment, a black hole suddenly appeared in the space before him. It seemed to be his first time seeing it, and his eyes widened in amazement. “Wow! What is this? Is this the spatial teleportation portal?”

Soon, a little fox emerged from the black hole.

The man quickly closed his mouth, feeling startled: What kind of creature is this?

A curse beast? A fox? A child? A fox-child? A monster!?

The little fox had her back facing the man as she shouted towards the door: “Sui Sui! It’s mealtime!”

Due to the system’s influence, she could see the small stone house and Min Jiangyun.

“Sui Sui?” She shouted for a while, but there was no response. She turned around and looked at the unkempt scientist: “Are you a friend of Mr. Chen Ling?”

When the man saw her turning around and saw her face clearly, his eyes widened. Oh my goodness, what kind of creature is this?

The little fox noticed his terrified expression and muttered to herself: “It seems not.”

She then turned around and glanced at her system, realizing that Chen Ling had replied, instructing her to leave the package at the doorstep.

“Alrighty then. I’ll leave this spatial box here for now. I’ll take it back when I come to deliver the meal tonight.”

With that said, she placed the large box she was carrying on the ground. This thing was waterproof, moisture-proof, and heat-resistant. It could even withstand being thrown into lava.

Then, she turned back and looked at the unkempt man: “What are you doing here, anyway?”

The man, who had now recovered his senses, approached with a smile: “I’m just passing by, little sister. Are you a fox or a human?”

“Me? I’m a fox, a jade-faced fox.”

“Jade-faced fox!?” The man was a bit confused upon hearing that. What exactly was a jade-faced fox? In this world, there were only curse beasts/magic beasts, not monsters.

“Where did you come from? I just saw you coming out of a black hole. It was amazing! What was that thing? Can you tell me?”

“I really want to know! I’m very curious!”

“Oh?!” The little fox was taken aback by the man’s praise. It was the first time someone had complimented her like that, and she felt delighted.

“Hmph, to be honest, I’m the renowned Jade-Faced Little Fox from the Monster Realm, and also a senior dual-cuisine delivery staff member from the Short-Tailed Fox Multiverse Takeout Company! I’m Liu Xiaoxuan, nice to meet you~ hehe~”

“Liu Xiaoxuan? Hello! I’m Li Sanqian! I’m an inventor of magical energy machines.”

“Wow, an inventor! That’s impressive!”

“You flatter me. I’m just a free spirit. By the way, could you open that black hole again? I want to study it.” Li Sanqian’s magical energy machine failed to capture the energy fluctuations from the spatial disturbance earlier, so he couldn’t analyze it.

“I’m about to leave now, you can just take a look.”

“Huh? You’re leaving already?” Li Sanqian wanted to try a few more times. Another attempt might lead to success. “Can I try again a few more times?”

The little fox shook her head.

“No, I have other deliveries to make. Gotta go, gotta go. By the way, you don’t know Chen Ling, do you?”

Li Sanqian shook his head. “No, I don’t know him.”

The little fox glanced at the delivery box and said casually: “Never mind then. I won’t leave the box here. I’ll personally deliver it to him.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that I don’t want to take any chances with that person’s belongings.”

Li Sanqian nodded after hearing that. “No problem, but what’s inside the box? Can you tell me?”

The little fox thought for a moment and said casually: “It’s nothing much, just some food. But the box itself is quite valuable. It’s a spatial storage box with a capacity of approximately 100,000 cubic meters.”

“What!? 100,000 cubic meters?” Li Sanqian’s eyes widened in shock.

The concept of 100,000 cubic meters was mind-boggling. A rectangular prism with a volume of 100,000 cubic meters could hold 100,000 metric tons of water.

“Hehe! Impressive, right? You couldn’t invent something like this, could you?” The little fox chuckled, while Li Sanqian was still in a state of astonishment.

In this world, there were also spatial storage stones, but their capacities were very small. The largest ones could probably hold only 50 cubic meters. However, those were naturally occurring spatial stones, and scientists hadn’t yet discovered the principles behind opening the doors of space. They could only be used as they were.

Li Sanqian had his own spatial storage stone, the huge magical energy machine he carried with him. He had just taken it out from the storage stone earlier. But this small box had a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters!

Moreover, it was clearly a splendid invention. Countless scientists and inventors dreamt of such a thing, and here it was right in front of Li Sanqian’s eyes! He had come here today to unravel the mystery of space, and this thing before him was his dream come true!

“Can you give this to me? No, I’ll buy it from you! I’ll pay any price! I have plenty of money.” Li Sanqian’s eyes sparkled. He had to obtain this box. Although in the hands of the little fox, it was just a takeout box, in Li Sanqian’s eyes, it was a box that could change the world!

“Oh? That’s not possible. This is not for sale.”

“I’m leaving.” With that, the little fox picked up the takeout box, had a thought, and opened a dimensional portal, preparing to leave.

“Wait!” Li Sanqian shouted loudly.

“Look at this!” He suddenly revealed an unknown machine in his hand.

“Hmm?” The little fox was puzzled and tilted her head to look.

She saw him holding a strange machine without even a casing, with its components exposed. This guy didn’t even bother with a casing. The little fox didn’t understand and asked, “What is this?”

Before she could finish speaking, Li Sanqian pressed a button, and a golden light burst out from the machine towards the little fox. The golden light entered the little fox’s forehead, causing her eyes to roll back, and the void in front of her disappeared. She collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

“Tsk, sorry little creature, but don’t worry, you’ll wake up in an hour! Hehehe…” Saying that, Li Sanqian excitedly rubbed his hands together and walked towards the little fox, grabbing her takeout and running away. Sneaky!

The little fox never expected that someone would actually steal her takeout in broad daylight!
