The teleportation distance is about 4 meters.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

His legs went slightly weak, but he only staggered half a step before regaining his balance.

Liu Kai couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

In the morning, he "eliminated his inner demons," which greatly enhanced the maximum distance he could teleport.

Even so, teleporting 4 meters would never be as easy as it is now.

I tried out the two "skills" of retrieving objects from a distance and scanning them with great anticipation.

He concluded that his spatial control capabilities had indeed been enhanced.

Similarly, the maximum number of times the survival skill "Catch Bullets" can be used has also been increased!

"I just don't know if the storage space has changed."

As Liu Kai muttered to himself, he glanced at the little black dog in its kennel with a "malicious" look...

The limitation that storage space cannot store living things always made him feel like something was missing.

Now that his spatial abilities have been enhanced, he's ready to give it another try!

Immediately concentrate and suddenly exert force on Xiao Hei as if collecting items, attempting to drag it into the storage space out of thin air.

However, it was this very attempt that caused Xiao Hei to leap up from the doghouse in an instant.

He didn't even bother to pick up the luncheon meat he hadn't finished eating when it fell to the ground.

As if it had encountered some natural enemy, it lay half-crouched and warily surveyed its surroundings.

It made a low "woo-woo" sound.

After looking around for a while, it realized that only Liu Kai and the cat were in this familiar house.

They couldn't find out where that inexplicable threat came from.

She gradually calmed down and put the fallen luncheon meat back into her mouth.

This result left Liu Kai somewhat bewildered.

Then it turned its "claws" to the little white dog licking its fur by the window.

"Meow!!!"

As Liu Kai exerted his strength, a sharp cat meow rang out.

Little White instantly sprang to his feet, his back arched and his black fur bristling.

It was as if they had encountered some kind of natural enemy.

Two failed attempts made him sigh in disappointment: "Sigh, it still doesn't work."

Just as Liu Kai was sighing in disappointment, he was suddenly surprised to find that there were living creatures in the storage space!

"Huh? What's this...?"

Although it was extremely small, it was indeed a living creature.

flea!

It must have been on either Xiao Hei or Xiao Bai just now.

The tiny flea hovered motionless in the storage space, as if time had stood still.

However, Liu Kai could clearly sense that it was alive.

I carefully released it from the storage space, and sure enough, the little flea immediately became lively.

"I see!"

As Liu Kai casually pinched the flea to death, he suddenly realized what had happened.

He had a question before the cold wave arrived: bacteria and viruses are also living things, so how could they be collected by the storage space?

It turns out that it's not that storage spaces can't hold living things, but rather that living things have an instinct to resist.

The stronger the willpower of a living creature, the harder it is to capture, unless the creature fully cooperates!

Bacteria and viruses are not intelligent and have zero willpower, so they can be easily controlled.

Although goldfish, cats, and dogs are not considered highly evolved animals, they still possess the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Naturally, it can resist Liu Kai's control.

Perhaps it was the enhancement he received from consuming precious metals that allowed him to manage to deal with the fleas for the first time ever.

This change made Liu Kai start to imagine.

If it can devour enough of the three metals, to what extent will it be strengthened?

Or perhaps the purpose of collecting live animals could be "modified".

It is not stored in storage space, but only serves as a control ability to restrict the actions of others.

Is this feasible?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he even guessed why it had devoured these three metals.

Because they are the most chemically stable metals, in other words, their atomic spatial structure is the most stable.

This is probably why space devours them: for stabilization and reinforcement.

However, Liu Kai, in his excitement, clearly forgot about the rarity of these three metals.

It takes consuming 1 kilogram to enhance strength by 10 kilograms, and absorbing 1 small flea.

To reach the level of an "invincible master," you'd need to own a mine.

"Mining, huh..."

After calming down, Liu Kai recalled some memories from the depths of his mind: Fenghai City really does seem to have mines!

A few years ago, he went to Guangming Town, 35 kilometers away from the city, to inspect tobacco planting.

I happened to run into a friend from the Land and Resources Bureau, who was leading a geological team of more than a dozen people to drill holes and collect samples in the mountains.

After chatting for a while, Liu Kai learned that a large platinum group mineral deposit had been discovered in Guangming Town.

It contains abundant rhodium, palladium, platinum, and iridium.

These precious metals must be at least 15 grams per ton to be worth mining.

It is said that the average grade of platinum group metals in this mine in Guangming Town is an astonishing 45 grams per ton.

This is definitely a super rich mine!

Even considering only the two metals "iridium" and "platinum", it is approximately 28 grams per ton.

But above this mine is a dense forest.

The saying goes, "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."

Due to environmental concerns, the geological team conducted an exploration but then stopped there, and no further mining took place.

Thinking of this, Liu Kai's heart suddenly burned with excitement: this mineral deposit was practically reserved just for him!

But even before the apocalypse, mining wasn't such a simple matter.

First, large machinery is needed to mine the raw ore.

The subsequent extraction of precious metals from the raw ore requires close cooperation among multiple industries.

The extraction step was no challenge for Liu Kai.

He only needs to store the raw ore in his storage space, and without refining it, he can precisely absorb the specific elements within it.

So the key question is how to mine the raw ore?
