Chapter 969: Chapter 482: White Pot
There wasn’t enough time to inspect carefully.
Almost in the next second after consciousness disengaged from the Secret Realm, the silver-white ring on the right hand’s fourth finger, transformed from the [Dream Weaving Corridor], vibrated slightly with a magnitude only he could feel.
The familiar mechanical chime echoed in his mind.
"Ding!"
"Charged substance detected, self-recharging..."
"[Remaining Energy] +0.3%"
"[Remaining Energy] +0.5%"
"[Remaining Energy] +0.6%"
"..."
"Charging complete!"
"["Dream Weaving Corridor" - Neural Travel Terminal] - [Remaining Energy]: 6.2%"
"..."
For Xia Nan, the reason for his keen interest in the Secret Realm lies in the immense value it inherently holds.
Battle Skill, specialty, Equipment, and even attribute points, he had once gained from the Secret Realm.
To some extent, the reason Xia Nan could develop to his current actual combat power far beyond professionals at the same Level is owed to the few experiences in the Secret Realm.
Since acquiring the [Dream Weaving Corridor] Equipment, the Secret Realm has added a new layer of attraction for him.
Although Xia Nan doesn’t quite understand the mechanics, through numerous practical tests, he has noticed the pattern.
The Secret Realm, or rather the core elements within it, can provide precious Energy for the [Dream Weaving Corridor].
Since he used the pink Jadestone in Sheep Horn Town for charging, then used the [lucky coin] to input the key, thereby unlocking the [Dream Weaving Corridor] to enter a simulated dream, and upgraded [Gravity Etching] to Full Level, the once abundant energy of the [Dream Weaving Corridor] dwindled to a measly 0.12%.
With such a small amount, even if he acquired the key, it wouldn’t suffice to open a dream or upgrade Battle Skill Skill Level.
But now, after the Secret Realm in Twin Canyon concluded, he has received over six percent of Energy replenishment.
It seems like a small amount, not even reaching ten percent.
However, bear in mind, it only cost around 9% of Energy to roughly elevate [Gravity Etching] from Level 3 to Level 5 Full Level.
For [Heavy Tide], a six percent recharge for the [Dream Weaving Corridor] is certainly more than enough to Level up once.
This means that as long as Xia Nan finds the key at the Moon Tide Banquet in over two months, the progress for upgrading [Heavy Tide] to Master will be significantly shortened.
At that time, he would Level up again to become a veteran expert after being just an ordinary adventurer for barely two years.
Thoughts raced through his mind, Xia Nan’s eyes glimmering with anticipation.
But since there is still time, and the Skill Level of [Heavy Tide] needs improving, he buried these considerations for the future deep in his heart, planning to deliberate further after returning to Suo Yu Bay post-task completion.
His gaze shifted back to the leather briefcase on the sofa before him, which he had opened with both hands.
In front of Xia Nan appeared a metallic pocket watch with a calm luster.
The main body of its casing exhibited a gentle restrained White hue as if processed with meticulous brushing, revealing countless fine threadlike patterns shimmering like satin in the sunlight;
The overall contour was a poised rounded shape with a diameter of roughly six centimeters, a thickness of about two-thirds of a palm, appearing exquisite and compact, yet feeling the hefty weight of metal when cradled in the palm.
The dial was akin to the flawless White walls of an operating room, with markings outlined in deep clear black, strikingly visible against the pristine White face; corresponding to "3", "6", "9", "12", the vertical and horizontal markings were a tad thicker, surrounded by precisely arranged smaller points.
The pocket watch was crafted from seemingly extravagantly expensive platinum, with details clearly designed with care, but on its own, it bore no superfluous adornments, unembellished, and straightforwardly elegant.
From top to bottom, the only semblance to an embellishment was the vertically engraved stethoscope emblem on the reverse, symbolizing the "Doctor Association".
Xia Nan extended his hand to grasp the pocket watch, sensing its gentle cool touch, and the slightly embossed metallic engravings on the back, a semi-transparent attribute panel quietly emerged in the void.

Space Storage!?
Xia Nan’s gaze paused involuntarily.
Truth be told, since his Transmigration, he has fantasized about having such a type of Tool.
After all, while adventuring, he had to carry too many items, large and small packs.
Tents, supplies, medicine, various simple Tools...
Especially for someone like Xia Nan with a cautious and comprehensive personality, he wished he could stuff all potentially useful items into his backpack before heading out, fearing mishaps due to inadequate preparation during his adventures.
Faced with situations requiring a choice, such as a "choose between two" moment concerning supplies, he would be deeply conflicted, pondering endlessly.
Under these circumstances, he naturally yearned for a Space Storage Tool of his own.
No need for grandeur; one cubic meter would save him significant trouble.
