I Can Control Resources

Wear a little less, my ass!

’Am I that kind of person?’ Gao Neng was truly speechless.

But seeing Fang Tangtang’s pitiful expression, he finally sighed. "I like white stockings and twintails... As for the rest, you can put it together yourself!"

"Okay! I’ll go change right now!" Fang Tangtang froze for a second, then immediately skipped out the door.

’She must have gone to change.’

Gao Neng didn’t pay it much mind. After all, he couldn’t actually make Fang Tangtang wear nothing. ’So... should we go for a maid outfit tomorrow, or a princess dress?’

’What a tough choice!’

He pushed the thought aside and picked up *Spatial Mark* from the table.

’Enhance using Celestial Book Deduction!’ Instinctively, Gao Neng tried to use the Wordless Celestial Book to upgrade the manual’s contents.

"DING! Manual level is too high. Enhancement failed!" came a mechanical voice.

’Failed again?’ Gao Neng felt a little helpless.

The last time Li Tiannan gave him that *Art of the Ghostly Thunder* manual, the same thing happened. It couldn’t be enhanced.

Now, Qin Lei had given him *Spatial Mark*, and it couldn’t be enhanced either.

’Looks like my Celestial Book Deduction (Intermediate) ability is still lacking. It feels like it can’t keep up with my progress anymore.’

Gao Neng subconsciously glanced at the skills on his Attribute Panel.

Special Abilities: 1. Glare (Intermediate), 2. Four Symbols (Epic), 3. Life Atom Fission (Advanced), 4. Celestial Book Deduction (Intermediate), 5. Source (Epic).

Special Skill: Infinite Possibilities (Intermediate)

Evolution: 7/10 (Progress).

Two Epic-level abilities, one Advanced-level ability, and three Intermediate-level abilities.

’My Glare skill is my best observation tool, but its level is a bit too low now. It can’t scan the strengths and weaknesses of Ninth-Order opponents, and the scans for Eighth-Order ones are incomplete.’

’Meanwhile, Celestial Book Deduction is practically useless.’

’These are great abilities... I can’t let them go to waste. I need to find the right opportunity to do some missions!’ As he thought this, Gao Neng glanced at his evolution progress.

It was already at 7/10.

’Just three more missions, and this stupid system will upgrade again.’

’It should get stronger, right?’

As this thought crossed his mind, Gao Neng casually flipped open *Spatial Mark*. ’Just because I can’t enhance it doesn’t mean I can’t learn it. I’ll learn it for now. Later, when my abilities evolve, I can just upgrade it then.’

’Spatial Mark...’

’A mark?’

After carefully reading through the manual, Gao Neng understood what kind of skill *Spatial Mark* really was.

’As expected of a skill from one of the Strongest!’

It wasn’t a powerful offensive combat skill, but it was an incredibly practical support skill. Plus, it complemented his fighting style perfectly.

The so-called Spatial Mark first required one to construct a space.

Construct a space...

It sounded simple.

But in reality, it was incredibly difficult.

However, the manual explained the method in detail.

Gao Neng mostly understood after reading through it once.

With his current power, he could create a space of two to three cubic meters at most. In terms of storage, it was actually worse than a Space Necklace or a high-dimension capsule.

The advantage, however, was that once the space was constructed, he could use it as a foundation to place a ’spiritual mark’ on a target, linking them to it.

This would allow him to ’swap’ the target with his own created space.

Simply put, if Gao Neng placed a spiritual mark on a Flying Earth Dragon, he could then change its position at any time.

To put it even more plainly, he could make the Flying Earth Dragon teleport within a two-to-three-cubic-meter area.

’In the early stages, it’s mainly for surprise attacks and ambushes. But later, as the space I can construct grows, I can use it over a large area. I could even make Fang Tangtang teleport... Heh... awesome!’ Gao Neng thought it was a fantastic skill.

Best of all, this skill had another very practical function.

And that was...

To steal things!

As long as he was within the two-to-three-cubic-meter range, he could bypass any obstacle and steal an item right off a person and into his own hand.

How badass is that?

’I need to give this function a good test run,’ Gao Neng thought.

And so, he immediately began constructing the space...

...

「Half an hour later.」

Fang Tangtang came skipping back.

She wore an exquisite, red, lantern-style dress. Her lips were glossed with a classic shade of pink, and her long, slender calves were wrapped in white stockings. As she walked, her two pigtails swung back and forth behind her.

Mmm-hmm...

’The perfect cute-girl look.’

’And not the least bit intimidating.’

"Gao Neng, open up! Death God Fang Tangtang is here with her new outfit! Come and see!" Fang Tangtang hammered on Gao Neng’s door with her small fists.

Gao Neng was right in the middle of a critical step in constructing his space, so he didn’t really hear her.

"Open the door! Open up! If you’ve got the guts to make me change clothes, you’d better have the guts to open this door!" When there was no response, Fang Tangtang kept hammering and shouting.

Not far away, Lin Ying and a few prodigies from the Military Department happened to be walking by.

...

"Lin Ying, the culture here at your Eastern Capital Military Academy is really... something else!" one of the prodigies from the Military Department remarked, momentarily stunned by Fang Tangtang’s getup.

"Those are probably her pajamas, right?" Lin Ying explained, his face twisting into a grimace.

Just then, Fang Tangtang’s voice rang out again.

"Gao Neng, if you don’t open this door, I’m breaking in! Don’t you force Death God Fang Tangtang to start taking her clothes off! I’m warning you!"
