  An imitation of the universal wishing machine (gold), which can grant some wishes within its capabilities.

ps: The wishing machine is a perpetual motion machine in the field of alchemy. Everyone knows that it cannot exist, but there are always people trying to make it. I am not talented, so I can only make an imitation. ——Abby, God of Alchemy

The next day, after breakfast, the fat butler drove Lu Ren and the others back to Mihua Town. When he arrived near Mihua Station, Lu Ren got off the car first and returned home. After solving yesterday's case, he once again saved enough for ten draws in a row.

It was inconvenient to go out yesterday, but now I can smoke when I get home. Wash, burn paper, and draw prizes. A burst of blue light flashed, and Lu Ren pulled out this universal wishing machine.

He played with the sapphire-colored small wine glass in his hand, and his thoughts gradually dispersed. In his previous life, he had watched an anime. The characters there fight with each other to win the Holy Grail. A Holy Grail that claims to grant all wishes.

If the thing in his hand were to be forced to say so, it might be called the Holy Grail, or an imitation of the Holy Grail. It's just that such a small cup can't fit anything larger into it. It’s not very convenient to use. Why doesn’t the God of Alchemy make this wishing machine bigger? Or...

Lu Ren got up and walked to the utility room, where all the white items he received from the lottery were stored. Earlier, Lu Ren was worried that members of the organization would sneak into his home secretly to conduct inspections, and it was difficult for him to explain the source of these white items. So he destroyed most of the white items he drew early in various ways.

However, after drawing Dabai, the security of his house has been upgraded in all aspects. Lu Ren never dealt with these white items, but put them in the utility room. He came here now just to test his guess.

[Pistol lighter (white)]

This is a white item that Lu Ren drew when he first came to this world, and is basically useless. Not to mention that he doesn't smoke now, even when he smoked before, he didn't need this thing. Because the workmanship of this pistol lighter is so realistic that even the scale and size are the same as a real gun. If you take such a thing on the street, you will definitely be invited to tea by the police.

But now it might come in handy. Lu Ren picked up the pistol lighter and placed it horizontally on the cup of the wishing machine. Then with a thought, the pistol lighter disappeared from his hand. No, it doesn’t count as disappearing. To be more precise, it is transfer.

The pistol lighter was transferred from his hand to an unknown dark space.

"Hey, it's really okay."

This wishing machine seems to be able to ignore the size of objects. Can that be...

The pistol lighter returned to his hand again, and Lu Ren "took" it out of the dark space.

"I am. This is not a wishing machine. Isn't this the storage magic weapon in the works of cultivating immortals?" Lu Ren looked back at Dabai who followed him, and said excitedly: "Dabai, this thing is awesome. It can be used as a storage device. The use of magic weapons.”

[Master, just be happy. 】

"Why do I feel that there is something in your words?" Because of the existence of his mind, Lu Ren subconsciously felt that Dabai's words were not sincere.

[Space expansion technology has been popularized in Blue Star. Every Blue Star citizen’s home uses space expansion technology. As for the small portable space expansion device you are talking about, like the bracelet, it is distributed free of charge by the Blue Star Federation. 】

[The wishing machine in your hands is very rare, and because it is a masterpiece, the price is extremely high. Master, you can use it as a space expansion device...]

"A waste of natural resources. A beggar asking for food from a golden rice bowl?"

Dabai was silent.

Lu Ren sighed. After hearing what Dabai said, he calmed down now. The previous excitement had basically dissipated a lot, but there was one thing he still wanted to explain to Dabai.

"Babai, what you said only applies to the Blue Star people. They each have a space expansion device, and I don't have one. Just like a glass of water, it has no value to me now, but to pedestrians who are already short of water in the desert, A glass of water is worth more than gold.”

【Too. The truth is clear, but the concept cannot be changed in a short time. 】

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Lu Ren replied casually, preparing to test other functions of this wishing machine. For example, its storage range. It may not be necessary to place the item at the mouth of the cup. Lu Ren tried to place the pistol lighter ten centimeters away from the wishing machine, but he also put it back. “You don’t have to put it against the rim of the cup when you put it in. Is that okay when you take it out?”

that's the truth. So Lu Ren went on to test the maximum storage distance. Ten centimeters, twenty centimeters, thirty centimeters...

Finally, through Dabai's accurate measurement, the maximum storage radius of the wishing machine is one meter.

"It's a bit short. But it's not a big problem."

Lu Ren once again threw the pistol lighter into the wishing machine, but this time he did not take it out, but directly made a wish - increasing the storage distance appropriately.

After all, this wishing machine is just a blue imitation. Lu Ren is worried that if a specific value is given, such as increasing the storage distance by ten centimeters, and the wishing machine cannot do it, then his pistol lighter will be wasted. Otherwise, give me a vague word, "appropriate amount". You can see for yourself and add as much as you can.

[The wish is received - the tribute is accepted - the wish is successful]

"That's it."

After calculation, the storage distance of a white item increased by one centimeter. Not bad, Lu Ren began to repeat the above operation process. Finally, after consuming half of the white supplies in the utility room, the storage radius of the wishing machine became two meters.

It's not that Lu Ren doesn't want to keep adding more, it's just that he can't add more. Throw in five or six white items, and the storage distance is not increased.

"Two meters is not bad. When the time comes, I will just stuff a few tons of scrap metal into it. When I encounter the enemy, I will just raise my hand and release the scrap metal on top of his head. Justice from heaven will hit him to death."

【…】

"Wait a minute. Dabai, do you think this thing can take people in? If it can take people in, will they die?"

[I don’t know if it is possible, but if it is possible. According to the physique of people on earth, if you take it in, you will die, because it is a vacuum environment inside. 】

"That's it." Lu Ren pondered for a moment, "Do you want me to get a new batch of business cards, with a sentence printed in Blue Star script on them, 'Once you accept this business card, you belong to me.'"

Xiaoyou, the bracelet elf, suddenly appeared and said loudly and indignantly.

[Master, this is really not allowed! ! ! 】

[This probably won’t work. This wishing machine has no thinking ability and is a purely dead thing. The mild-mannered Baymax said no. 】

Dabai also echoed.

"That's it."

Lu Ren waved his hand, put the remaining white items in the utility room into the wishing machine, and made his wish at the same time.

[The wish is received - the tribute is accepted - the wish is successful]

The sapphire-colored small wine glass turned into a simple-looking black jade ring.

"Not bad." Lu Ren put it on the middle finger of his left hand and said with satisfaction, "Now I am also a person with a storage ring."

【…】

ps: The initial plan was for the protagonist to draw a trash can and a storage ring that can destroy items. But I feel like writing this way is a bit cliche. So these two things were combined and turned into a universal wishing machine.
