Do You Know How Much Storage My Digital Camera Has?

Rumble!!

As the explosions faded, two figures, one large and one small, fell from the sky. The large one was a staff, and the small one was Ying Yingying.

Russell caught one in each hand and rode the ocean currents down onto the deck. Ying Yingying had fallen unconscious from excessive Magic Power consumption, and despite the relentless rain pounding her body, she showed no signs of waking.

"This girl…"

Holding Ying Yingying by the back of her collar, Russell noticed something strange. She had shrunk, from 1.6 meters to 1.4. It was not just her body; the childishness in her face had increased as well, making her look like a little girl under ten.

"She turned into a child in the middle of a fight? What kind of move is that?"

The astonishing sight left Russell dumbfounded. But considering he was in a world connected to the Main God Space, anything was possible, so he suppressed his doubts.

He removed Ying Yingying’s Space Ring, along with the Goddess Ring that belonged to him. After thinking it over, he still did not feel reassured, so he took off her belt and boots as well. Both were magical creations that had shrunk along with her body, and they might very well have possessed other abilities.

Better safe than sorry. Russell removed her sleeveless one-piece combat suit too. To his surprise, she had nothing on underneath—not even underwear.

"Look not upon impropriety, touch not upon impropriety…"

Russell privately lamented the ridiculous prices in the Main God Space. Even a rich woman like Ying Yingying could not afford undergarments. He casually pulled over a rain tarp, wrapped her up like a dumpling, and slung her over his shoulder.

Although Skull Island was their confirmed destination, he did not set off immediately. Instead, he first scavenged the cruise ship for essential wilderness survival supplies before lowering a lifeboat and leaving.

Using the trident to summon a school of fish to guide the way, he confirmed the direction and then rolled up waves to push the cruise ship to the outskirts of the stormy waters. There were only three survivors left aboard: Cui Lin, the male lead, and the male lead’s lackey. The mercenaries had not been so lucky. The fading gunfire Russell had heard earlier had come from them; they had all become food for the Sea Monster.

The three survivors were ordinary humans with combat power of five at best. Wandering onto Skull Island would mean certain death, so Russell kindly gave them a lift out of these dangerous waters.

With the fish school helping to tow it, the lifeboat moved quickly. In less than half an hour, it left the storm-covered waters. Then the fog ahead gradually thickened, and soon they could not see their hands in front of their faces.

The fish swam underwater and were unaffected by the thick fog, but Russell could not stand the unease of being unable to see. He used the trident to sweep away the mist ahead.

The dense fog automatically parted to either side, revealing a straight waterway. At its end, a faint glow could be seen.

"Hey, why did you capture me?"

Ying Yingying lay in the lifeboat. The moment she pushed away the rain tarp covering her, her expression darkened. She was not worried about losing her innocence or anything like that. With her current tiny body, no one but a pervert with unusual tastes would be interested in her. What troubled her was that all her equipment had been confiscated, and all the Magic Power she had accumulated had been exhausted. The warrior skills she still possessed had also suffered a drastic drop in effectiveness due to her greatly reduced size.

"Your ability is interesting. Care to tell me about it?"

Russell was extremely curious about Ying Yingying’s ability. From the time she had fainted until now, there had not been the slightest sign of Magic Power recovery in her body. She was like an ordinary person who knew nothing about magic.

"Why should I tell you?" Ying Yingying said with a dark expression, tightening the rain tarp around herself. She was still a girl, after all, and without clothes, she lacked a sense of security.

Russell chuckled in a low voice and took out a set of children’s clothes from his Space Ring. He had picked them up from the cruise ship and had felt too embarrassed to put them on Ying Yingying earlier. Now, he brought them out as bargaining chips.

"Tell me the truth, and I’ll give you the clothes. I picked them out especially for you. This Peppa Pig outfit suits you perfectly."

Ying Yingying: "…"

Between being naked and having clothes, Ying Yingying chose the latter. She gave him a vague explanation of her bizarre constitution.

Despite her childish figure, she was actually nearing thirty. Before entering the Main God Space, she had always been a child who never grew up.

After first entering the Main God Space, she had taken the assassin route due to her petite stature while also training in warrior skills.

Only after experiencing two worlds did she discover that the strange illness that had plagued her for years was actually a bizarre magical constitution. She could not gather Magic Power herself, but she could absorb other people’s Magic Power and store it in her body. The more Magic Power she absorbed, the closer her appearance came to her actual age. Thus, she changed classes and embarked on this path of specifically screwing over other mages.

"Interesting. Something like that actually exists…" Russell’s eyes gleamed as he scrutinized Ying Yingying from head to toe, as if looking at a lab rat on an experiment table.

Ying Yingying felt uncomfortable under Russell’s gaze and hurriedly said, "Hey, I’ve told you everything you wanted to know. Give me the clothes already."

Russell kept his promise and handed over the Peppa Pig children’s tracksuit. Ying Yingying took the clothes and was about to put them on when she suddenly remembered something. Her eyes shifted, and she stopped.

"Um, do you have any underwear? If not, I have a set in my Space Ring. Can you give the ring back to me?" Ying Yingying blinked her watery eyes, looking perfectly innocent and adorable.

"Weren’t you not wearing any before?" Russell sneered. What a pathetic trick. Her body had shrunk, and apparently her intelligence had shrunk with it.

At Russell’s words, Ying Yingying’s face stretched long. She sat alone in the lifeboat, grinding her teeth as if cursing Russell to get styes.

"There’s no way I’m giving you the ring back, but…" Russell displayed the three rings on his left hand and waved them before Ying Yingying. After pausing, he said, "I have a medical item that can barely cover you up. I’ll generously give it to you."

"What medical item? Bandages?"

Ying Yingying took the item from Russell, lowered her head to look at it, and immediately froze.

Item Card: Band-Aid x3 (powerful hemostasis, sterilization, disinfection)

Ying Yingying: ( ̄┰ ̄)

"Try putting them on. See if they fit…"

Smack!

Ying Yingying flew into a rage and hurled the Band-Aids into the bottom of the boat. "Prisoners have human rights too! Who would use something like that?!"

"Then I’m terribly sorry, but my prisoners have no human rights. Try playing tricks on me again, and don’t blame me for being rude." As Russell spoke, he took out a digital camera from his Space Ring. His meaning could not have been clearer.

Ying Yingying’s mouth twitched. She silently pulled on the children’s tracksuit. She did not wear the Band-Aids, instead stuffing them into her pants pocket.

"That’s more like it. Children are cutest when they listen!" Russell praised her, then pointed to the two large bags in the boat. "We’re on our way to Skull Island. Once we get ashore, these two bags are your responsibility. They contain essential survival supplies, so don’t lose them."

"You can put them in your Space Ring."

"I’m poor. My ring is too small. It won’t fit!"

"My Space Ring is large enough to hold them…"

"Trying to play tricks on me again? Do you know how much storage my digital camera has?"

"…"
