Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

After saying that, Lin Qiye took out a seemingly ordinary ring from his pocket.

This is the storage item that Wangmian used to store the mysterious corpse; it can be considered a gift from Wangmian to them.

Now they use it to hold everyone's gifts.

These gifts were collected by the two of them in their spare time.

Although I've left them temporarily, I still think about them.

Upon hearing about the gift, everyone immediately gathered around out of curiosity.

They wanted to see what gifts Lin Ze and Lin Qiye would bring them.

The next moment, Lin Qiye had a transparent cylindrical water glass in his hand, shaped like a capsule.

Through the transparent glass, everyone could see a small, colorful fish inside; it looked very beautiful.

Lin Qiye handed the gift to Shen Qingzhu, saying, "This is a gift that Lin Ze prepared for you."

"He went to great lengths to prepare this gift for you."

"This fish is called the rainbowfish, and it lives in the deep sea at a depth of 7,000 meters."

"Most deep-sea creatures are incredibly ugly because at that depth, sunlight is no longer visible, so no one can see each other, and they can be ugly as they are."

"But this fish is exceptionally beautiful."

"To be honest, Lin Ze put a lot of thought into this gift for you."

Shen Qingzhu took the transparent capsule and said somewhat shyly, "Th...thank you."

"Lin Ze, thank you, I really like it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you don't need to thank me."

"As I said, this was prepared for you by Qiye and me."

"Even if you're going to thank someone, you should thank both of us."

Lin Ze said this for two reasons. One is that these gifts were indeed prepared by them together.

There's no need for them to talk about "you" and "me".

Another reason is... Lin Ze felt that there was a strange sour smell in the air.

The smell gave him a bad feeling.

Although I can't quite put my finger on it, I have a feeling that I'm about to have to write a self-criticism.

Only when Lin Qiye was pulled along and the two of them were tied together with a rope did this feeling disappear.

Realizing he was safe, Lin Ze finally spoke, "How was it? Did it look good?"

At this moment, the arrogant guy is looking at the rainbow fish through the transparent capsule.

The rainbow-scaled fish wasn't afraid at all, staring intently at the rare creature before it.

He had seen so many ugly things in the deep sea, so why would he be afraid of these handsome two-legged creatures?

Oh, except for the person who took him away.

Let alone seeing him, just hearing his voice made him feel a little scared. That two-legged beast's methods were too crude!

Shen Qingzhu said, her eyes glued to the screen, "Beautiful, very beautiful."

"This gift is alright, isn't it?"

Shen Qingzhu maintained her aloof demeanor, even though she was already very fond of it.

But he still had to pretend he didn't care.

Lin Ze smiled slightly. After spending so much time together, do you think I don't know you?

You can still keep up the act, right?

Okay, I'll make sure you can't keep up the act for long.

Lin Ze slowly spoke, "Actually, being beautiful is the least noteworthy advantage of the Rainbow Scale Fish."

"This is actually a mysterious creature from the Pool Realm, and one with special abilities. Otherwise, with its weak appearance, it would be impossible for it to survive in the deep sea."

Is the pool's realm mysterious?!

Upon hearing this, everyone around was taken aback.

They never expected that this seemingly harmless, even somewhat ornamental, little fish was actually a mysterious creature in the pond!

It should be noted that most of the students here have only recently arrived in the Pool Realm.

Among them, Shen Qingzhu is relatively outstanding, while Cao Yuan is only at the mid-stage of the Pool Realm.

Now, even a gift from you, Lin Ze, is shrouded in mystery by Chi Jing?!

After learning about the other party's cultivation level, Shen Qingzhu became wary.

At this moment, Lin Ze chuckled softly, "It's alright, don't worry."

"Although he is at the Pool Realm, his abilities are more inclined towards self-preservation and are not particularly offensive."

"Self-preservation?" Shen Qingzhu asked doubtfully. "So, I can use him to protect myself?"

Lin Ze began, "Yes... that's how it is."

"But I can't explain it to you in a short time. You should try it out for yourself."

"There's a switch on top of the capsule. Open it, take it out, and then give him a little sense of crisis."

Shen Qingzhu found the switch and then took out the rainbow-scaled fish as Lin Ze had instructed.

As for the sense of crisis that Lin Ze mentioned, Shen Qingzhu brought it a sense of crisis by squeezing it hard.

This method worked! Shen Qingzhu squeezed it, and he spat out a transparent ball about the size of a palm.

Shen Qingzhu picked up the transparent ball and squeezed it; it was quite firm.

He estimated that if this were used as a defensive measure, it should be able to withstand attacks from the Chi Realm, and even attacks from ordinary Chuan Realm cultivators wouldn't be impossible.

However... it's too small, so it might be difficult to operate.

But being able to do that is already quite impressive.

At this moment, Yuan Gang, who was standing to the side, took the transparent sphere and said, "The defense is not bad, but the size is too small."

"Not very practical."

The other instructors nodded in agreement. They were responsible for teaching them the theoretical knowledge, so they quickly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this defensive measure.

Lin Ze remained silent, but walked up to the Rainbow Scale Fish with a livid face.

He forced out a sentence through gritted teeth, "If that's all you're worth, then you can expect to be boiled into fish head soup tonight!"

Sensing a threat to its life, the rainbowfish frantically thrashed its tail—its survival instinct—trying to leave as quickly as possible. But it forgot that this was not the ocean.

Then, he continued to blow bubbles from his mouth.

A moment later, he exhaled another bubble the size of a fist. In the blink of an eye, the bubble grew to the size of a basketball, followed by a yoga ball. But that wasn't all; its size continued to increase.

In just a few breaths, the transparent sphere grew to be as tall as a person.

This volume is large enough to fit one person, and even two people could fit if they were standing a little close together.

This time, Yuan Gang tested the hardness of the transparent ball again.

After testing the waters, his expression changed drastically. "Such strong defense?!"

"Such defensive capabilities can definitely withstand 90% of attacks from those below the Sea Realm!"

"Not only has the area increased, but its defensive capabilities have also improved!"

"If this is a forbidden item, it's definitely of above-average quality."

When the topic of forbidden items came up, Fatty stroked his chin like an expert and said, "Hmm, that's true."

"I don't have many items of this level of prohibitedness at home, maybe just a few dozen."

Everyone: "........"

Although everyone hates Fatty's subtle showing off, their attention is currently focused on Lin Ze's first gift.

If the first gift is like this, what level will the next ones be?

Thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but feel excited.
