Chapter 29 Unknown Identity Card

"So, you're actually a snake with storage capabilities?" Jaeger asked.

It has to be said that this storage method is quite unique; it's practically unheard of.

The snake nodded, then opened its mouth wide and decisively spat out the mug it had just swallowed.

—The mug came out looking exactly the same as when it went in, and there was no saliva or anything like that on it.

If Jaeger hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the cup had just been inside a snake's stomach.

It's really just for storage... Jaeger picked up the mug and examined it, thinking to himself.

At the same time, the text appearing above the snake changed slightly as it spat out the mug:

[Saved: None]

[Remaining storage space: 10]

Storage space 10 means this snake can store a maximum of 10 items at a time.

"Are there any restrictions?" Jaeger put down his cup. "Can you store anything?"

Upon hearing this, the snake pointed at the cup with its tail and nodded its head. Then it pointed at Jaeger with its tail and shook its head.

Jaeger inexplicably understood what the snake was trying to say: "You mean... inanimate objects are acceptable, but living things are not?"

The snake patted Jaeger's hand with its tail with satisfaction, its eyes clearly saying that the boy was teachable.

It seems he got it right.

Jaeger's lips twitched, then he asked, "Is this the only restriction? Any size is acceptable?"

"Hiss." The snake nodded proudly.

"Okay, I understand." Jaeger patted the snake sincerely. "I was presumptuous before. You are indeed very useful."

Isn't this the legendary portable storage space? Although the way it's implemented is a bit strange, the effect is real and that's enough.

Logically speaking, the portable storage space alone should be useful enough, but then the snake opened its mouth and gagged a few times, spitting out a piece of paper, and then eagerly picked up the thing it had just vomited and handed it to Jaeger.

Jaeger instinctively took it, his gaze sweeping over it:

[A super useful snake to serve you!]

Storage space - free

[Minor injury treatment - $20]

Treatment for serious injuries - $200

[Infiltration Investigation - $150]

Jaeger: "..."

Wow, snakes are so versatile! They're really useful in every sense of the word.

But why do these functions cost money, and even US dollars? What would a snake need US dollars for?

That's what Jaeger thought, and that's what he asked: "What use is money to you, a snake?"

"Hiss hiss hiss!" The snake looked back at Jaeger with a clear and innocent gaze, but made no attempt to explain.

"Alright, I'll spend the money then." Jaeger sighed, reluctantly pulling out $20 from his pocket. "Then show me the treatment's effects first, so I can see what's going on."

Almost the instant Jaeger pulled out the money, the snake's eyes were glued to it, and it seemed to be shining with an unusual light.

It even eagerly straightened its upper body and excitedly flicked its tongue.

Jaeger: "..."

Damn, this guy is a money-grubbing snake.

When the $20 was offered to its mouth, the snake immediately opened its mouth wide and swallowed the bill, just like the mug it had swallowed before. After swallowing it, it even showed a strangely satisfied expression.

"Stop reminiscing." Jaeger coldly poked the snake, interrupting its seemingly savoring expression. "How did you heal minor injuries?"

Hearing Jaeger's urging, the snake finally moved. It slowly crawled onto Jaeger's bandaged arm and gently brushed it with its tail.

Jaeger instantly felt a strange warmth emanating from the location of his wound. When the bandage was removed, the shocking scar caused by the explosion had disappeared without leaving any trace.

"Hiss!" The snake shook its body triumphantly, as if to say, "How about that, I'm pretty awesome."

Jaeger, resting his chin on his hand, said, "So, you're now basically a portable storage space, or a healer that you can pay to use..."

Jaeger then looked at the [Infiltration Investigation] section: "It even has an investigation function, although we can't use it for now."

After all, $20 is already a deal-breaker, and Jaeger has no income right now, so he really can't afford to spend another $150 on this snake to see how it goes.

Seeing that Jaeger had no intention of paying any more money, the snake nodded in agreement with Jaeger's words, coiled back up, and lazily draped its tail over the back of Jaeger's hand.

Watching this scene, Jaeger suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you have a name?"

Snake: "Hiss."

It patted the paper in Jaeger's hand with its tail, gesturing for Jaeger to look at the back of the paper.

Jaeger then turned the paper over and found another line of text on it.

Burks is at your service.

"Burks is your name?...Wait, Burks? Box?" Jaeger realized what he meant and was speechless for a moment.

After all, the name is too plain and simple. It has storage function, so it's just a box. It's perfectly reasonable to call it that.

Of course, it was also quite perfunctory...

"Alright, Burks." Jaeger coughed, becoming serious. "Let me introduce myself as well. I'm Jaeger."

Burks seemed somewhat surprised, staring wide-eyed at Jaeger—Really? Someone actually greeted it as a creature worthy of dignity, instead of treating it as a mere tool snake?

This unusual treatment left Burks somewhat bewildered, and he could only nod blankly as a response to Jaeger.

Jaeger had no idea what Burks was thinking at that moment; he simply turned his gaze back to the virtual desktop, intending to turn it off.

But at that moment, Jaeger's gaze suddenly stopped on the empty card table.

He saw something.

Unlike the address sign he had missed due to negligence before, Jaeger was afraid he would miss something similar again, so he took the time to carefully check the card table.

So Jaeger dares to say that the card he's seeing on the virtual table now... didn't exist before; it just appeared.

Moreover, unlike any of the previous cards, this is a bizarre card with a completely black background that twitches from time to time, as if it were flashing.

Below this card, there is a line of text:
