Aside from the spatial ring, she couldn't think of anything else that the Minister of Security could give as a gift.

You could even say it's tuition.

The little girl was surprised by Liu Yun. "This...you can recognize her?"

Xie Xuan was quite surprised by the ring: "A spatial ring?"

The girl added, "Yes, there's only one available right now."

"It was made by researchers working together, and it was also an accident. So far, it cannot be replicated."

Liu Yun: ...Is it that important?

It's a real dilemma – accepting it is one thing, not accepting it is another.

Wouldn't it be better to change it to something else?

She has a spherical space as big as a hollow Earth, which she has used for two lifetimes. In this third lifetime, she has only used a corner of it.

To be honest, it's equivalent to infinite space.

The spatial ring ended up in her hands, more useless than practical.

However, since she has this item, she won't have to be so careful in the future, and she won't have to consider everything so carefully.

She put so much effort into this, yet she only used it to cover up something, which makes her feel somewhat guilty.

Why don't we think of a way to make use of it?

Liu Yun thought for a moment, "Drip blood?"

The little girl nodded vigorously, a sentiment truly ingrained in the very bones of the Yan people.

Liu Yun raised her hand, but still didn't make any move. A drop of blood flew from her fingertip and landed on the ring.

Then, a space the size of a basketball court came to mind.

Yes, it's a basketball arena, not a basketball court.

The so-called basketball arena, of course, includes the stands, backstage, and other spaces, including its height, so it's quite large.

If used for storing things, it can hold a lot.

However, since the blood can only be used by oneself, perhaps it could be modified?

"Very good, tell your minister I like it." Liu Yun nodded: "Xiao Xuan, go and call your friends!"

The girl and the other seven breathed a sigh of relief; something unique really does have weight and value!

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately led her friends to the martial arts room.

Everyone was shocked. They've already started practicing? Are they going to act first and ask for permission later again?

Xie Xuan: "Don't worry, since the senior said that, it means he agreed to teach you."

"Does Senior really not know why so many of you have come to protect just one ring?"

The little girl said, "That's a spatial ring! What? Just one ring? Isn't it valuable?"

The fact that seven of them came was partly out of caution.

If outsiders found out, they would probably want to give up everything they own.

For those of us who do missions, to be honest, having a spatial ring would make many missions much easier.

Fortunately, although it's not such a high-end ring with such a large space.

There are also portable spaces developed from previous research on vehicle space. Although the space is limited, it is sufficient for the tasks, so there is not much need for a space ring.

Currently, the security department colleagues are still quite interested in portable storage. Compared to before, it's a significant improvement, and since there's no shortage of space, there won't be a greater need for it.

Xie Xuan had developed a blind admiration for Liu Yun. "Senior doesn't like to go out, and she can't use it directly in front of outsiders; there are still restrictions..."

I mean, Liu Yun doesn't really care.

She felt she wasn't giving the minister enough face, so she was really in a difficult position.

When Xie Xuan returned from her training, Liu Yun was still swaying back and forth on the recliner, as if she hadn't changed her posture at all.

It took about a week for the seven-person team to learn, practicing while hastily memorizing the theoretical knowledge, and then they hurriedly returned to the security department.

The Minister of Security was stunned when he saw the seven of them: "You're back so soon?"

He was racking his brains trying to reschedule tasks to give the seven of them time to study, and it all happened so quickly?

It could be said to be fast, but it still took seven days?

"Did they actually learn it or not?"

The young girl said, "I've learned it all and memorized the theories. All I need to do is practice on my own every day to improve."

Minister: "Huh? Did the senior say that I can't teach it to others?"

The young girl glanced sideways and said, "Senior didn't mean that at all. He probably just wants us to keep it under control and not let it leak out of the security department."

The minister chuckled: "Indeed, it's easier to talk to young people!"

The young girl slammed her hand on the table: "You're a senior, Minister. Show some respect. Age has nothing to do with anything. Those who are more experienced are teachers."

During these seven days, she not only learned the so-called "Eighteen Falling Techniques" and how to dodge, but also received occasional guidance from Liu Yun, which greatly improved her martial arts skills.

She has long since become the second Xie Xuan.

Minister: ...Does this person have a seductive quality? What is it about him that makes everyone who meets him seem to change their attitude?

Do they even remember him as the minister?

His lips twitched. "Hehe, oh, senior."

All seven girls showed satisfied expressions.

Minister: ...I can't bear to look, what on earth is happening?

Meanwhile, Liu Yun handed the spatial ring to Xie Xuan: "Drip blood."

Xie Xuan was shocked. "Senior, this...this is unacceptable."

Liu Yun coughed and said, "You know my situation. I need you to help me prepare some supplies. As for how much money is needed, just take it from my account."

"I don't have time for these things. Besides, your identity allows you to access many resources that ordinary people can't access, which might be exactly what I need in the future."

Xie Xuan opened her mouth, realizing that there was such a thing, and then she had no choice but to agree.

This is doing something for a senior colleague.

However, there's a lot of information in those words. The senior's background is indeed extraordinary, and indeed... she's not the original Liu Yun!

"Then, senior, what specifications should we prepare according to?"

"I've been reading quite a few novels lately, some about famine, some set in historical periods, some set in the apocalypse..."

Liu Yun: "...Let's do it like the apocalypse."

"If it's full, bring it back first and then continue."

Xie Xuan was very happy. Her senior had told her a secret, so her senior must have another dimension.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. That unmanned camera, that broken Poké Ball, those rare technologies—they're all things that don't belong to this world. The senior was able to get the finished products.

Creating a space? That doesn't seem too difficult!

As expected, this spatial ring wasn't that important to the senior.

Oh, so you're preparing supplies for the apocalypse? Then I'll get more emergency supplies. I'll take some time to visit the military region and check on weapons, first aid kits... I still need to consider what kind of apocalypse it will be.

If there's a chance, get some airplanes or ships so we can escape.

Xie Xuan has already figured it out; she plans to seek coordination from the minister for anything she can't handle herself.

The senior emphasized that these are things that ordinary people cannot access.

Liu Yun: ...No, she didn't. She was just mentioning it casually.

The main reason is Xie Xuan's status.

So, Liu Yun stayed at home, Xie Xuan disappeared, and Li Hong and Xue Junyi's responsibilities became heavier, constantly on guard against outsiders.

Xie Xuan only reappeared after the actors' training was approved by Liu Yun and the crew was preparing to head to the small desert town. She then settled down by Liu Yun's side as a junior assistant.
