Acquire Storage

Zion noticed that Sheng family guards as soon as he exited the temple. Their faces are tired and annoyed. They seem to be following the live stream and following his footsteps since the morning. They finally reached him. 

Instead of running, Zion just messaged the cameraman. His current position right outside the pavilion is one of the rare locations in the park covered by CCTV. One of the young guards was about to move forward, but the older one stopped them with a gesture at the CCTV. There's no way Zion is not going to take advantage of this detail. 

So, it seems the orders are to bring him back without creating a scene. TwelveInches is a fairly popular streamer. Even better, he is a streamer with a very annoying fan base, which can create fire out of water, especially when it comes to creating news. 

The cameraman happily returned. He was about to run out of things to do. Moreover, the number of viewers and discussion had all been very lively after the guild's announcement. 

Many of the viewers already joined the guild. The ones who can't join directly dropped applications. 

During these days, just belonging to a guild will have some minor advantages. The first of them is to be able to check background and dungeon clearing history of the teammates. Since GMS works with big data, it automatically compiled the reports on the party members ability when they choose a specific dungeon. 

When four strangers meet to do this, they need to open their history by themselves. The chances of meeting a bad guy are high, as are the chances of bad guys getting away with their crimes. 

Now that Zion came back on the screen, the viewers are even more excited. 

[ BeastBoss : Master, Greetings ! ] 

[ BeastBoss : Master, is the mail you sent true ? ] 

[ OppaJJang : What mail ? .. tell me ! I will send a reward. ] 

[ BeastBoss : It's guild exclusive. Hahahaa ! (party.jpg) ] 

[ BeastBoss : Oh ! I have waited so many days to say those words ! ] 

[ BeastBoss : Now I can say that too ! Ha ! ] 

Zion smiled at the barrage. 

" Mr. BeastBoss , thank you for joining the guild. Yes, that mail is true. You must hurry if you want to grab the items. " Zion answered with a smile. Inside, he was dancing with joy. He only prayed for the success of the guild, but even he did not expect it to go viral like this. 

[ BeastBoss : Yes, Boss ! ( Running-away.jpg ) ] 

" Also, everyone who was not able to grab it, do not worry. I believe the items will get refreshed soon, so, just wait for the next notification. " Zion announced. 

" What items are these ? " The cameraman asked curiously. 

" That's DDA exclusive. I am sorry I can not reveal it here. " Zion answered with a mischievous smile. 

There's another wave of commotion from the viewers stating they are going to join the guild or drop the applications. 

" Let's move to the next location. " Zion told the camera man. It was already five in the evening, Zion expected Cerise to be out of the dungeon by seven or eight. So, he could check one more stray dungeon before he picks her up. 

He got on the bus, and the sheng guards followed him. 

The cameraman looked at the sturdy physiques of the men entering the bus with a growing suspicion. 

As soon as they got the bus, Zion opened his cellphone. 

There are a lot of messages from the GMS. He approved applications of all players who did not have any criminal history. Then, he studied the GMS, setting up basic rules, member hierarchy, and other miscellaneous details. 

[ Congratulations. The first training stone had been activated. ] 

[ Blueprint Training stone is added. ] 

' Oh ! so, blueprints are not added when I make an item, but when the item gets used. ' Zion was half way through his thought, when he felt his mana flooding over. 

His entire body felt like it was thrumming from the overflow of energy. Just what sort of monster had used the training stone, he was about to scold … but he did not have time. If he does not control this mana, he will explode right here and now along with this bus. 

Zion closed his eyes, and concentrated on pressing down the mana. 

[ RadioActive mana added to your mana system. ] 

[ Absorbing RadioActive mana. ] 

The omniscience displayed when he opened his eyes after a minute. He was still like a dead person on the bus. 

The cameraman was looking at him with a worried expression. 

" I am alright. " Zion said hoarsely. 

That is enough radiation to kill an entire city. Zion shuddered to think such a time bomb existed within the city. 

They reached the second dungeon, which is called a ' quarantine area ' in half an hour. 

Zion got down, so did the cameraman and sheng guards. 

Now, the camera man is absolutely sure. They are malicious people. He manipulated the camera to show the viewers their faces. 

[ Dear viewers ! Remember to screenshot and save these faces. If I or Mr. Zion are missing tomorrow, report these people to the police. ] 

He put the caption under instead of speaking out loud. 

The guards were still guarding the entry point. Zion showed his guild permit to the guards, who scanned it, then discussed among themselves before one person finally came forward. 

" Here is a hazmat suit for entering the area. However, if you feel nausea, dizziness or even the slightest bit of discomfort, do not go further but return. " The guard warned him. 

Zion entered the only open ground dungeon in the city. Instead of moving forward, he sat down in a lotus position, then extended his perception. 

The miasma felt dirty like muddy tar.. Which is neither tar nor sticky mud. It felt dirty, like disease, chemicals and all infectious mana mixed in. it made him feel suffocated and restless at the same time, it's begging him to rip, shred, infect, devour … it's like the demon's miasma leaked on to the earth. 

Amidst this, he felt another mana arriving from the altar. It rented the very air like a sword aura. 

' Slice .. cut .. stab .. slice.. Cut .. ' The mana screamed in the air with a growl as if a sword was cutting through the air. 

Zion who was thinking of retrieving radiation moderately and burning through the land removing demonic mana panicked in that moment looking at the gigantic sword mana heading towards his core. He could not absorb it in a single shot when he is already focusing on controlling another dangerous mana. 

In that moment of utter total pressure, it was like the entire world standing still. His perception was sharpened to a nano second. In that difference between flint and spark, Zion retrieved all the radioactive mana at once, used it to redirect the screaming sword mana towards the contaminated dungeon. 

Next moment, it was like a tornado struck. The contaminated, dirty and sticky mana was set on fire. The embers of the fire were cut into thousands, then the embers caught fire again. In but a moment, it was like a sphere of light creating utter annihilation rotating in the dungeon. Zion, who was struck in the state of utter concentration, removed and rearranged the dungeon boundary cracks so that the destructive starlight would stay within the boundary. 

The guards and the entire process was recorded on the camera, but no one associated it with zion. After all, neither the radioactive mana, nor the sword demon mana could be seen with the naked eye. On the camera, it looked like there was suddenly wind, and inside the wind, two dry twigs rubbed against one another. Then, a spark produced inferno, the inferno turned into this mind blowing fire sphere. 

The viewers on the live stream were caught in utter total surprise. Even TwelveInches who found it hard to close his mouth was speechless. 

Amongst all this excitement, they completely forgot Zion for some time. Add to that, Zion was still as a rock when in meditation, he did not look any different from the natural scenery at the dungeon. 

When the fire fighters arrived, the doors opened fully. Four water lines ran from either side of Zion, the firefighters sprayed the water directly at the fire. 

The steam obscured a lot of what was happening inside. 

That is how Zion was able to condense another dungeon's mana into an egg. The egg floated over to him, settling on his body. As soon as it touched Zion's skin, it broke away like skill stones. 

Zion checked his status. 

[ Storage Space ] 

[ 10 cubic meters of storage space. This storage space is connected to earth's core. All the guardians connected to earth's core can see and use this storage space. ] 

' What ? it's not mine alone ? ' Zion wondered. 

For now, he was the only guardian so, it's alright. If this continues like this, he would have to snatch all the guardian spaces. Otherwise, he would be working hard to build various features only for them to be occupied by someone else.
