Just as he was about to finish speaking, he turned his head and saw Su Hang staring at him. Xue Qi quickly shut his mouth and chuckled dryly, "What I mean is, even though my sister is beautiful, the man who can tame her probably hasn't been born yet. With your physique, I'm not saying it to be mean, but you can't even beat me, let alone my sister."
"Alright, stop blabbering and focus on driving," Su Hang shook his head, interrupting Xue Qi's words. He had just said it offhandedly, but he didn't expect to receive such a blow from this kid.
Or, it should be called a critical hit!
The atmosphere became a bit awkward. Xue Qi drove obediently without saying another word.
Su Hang took out a few rings and used this opportunity to refine them properly. After meeting Xue Xuan, he planned to find a place to sell them. Although he was currently broke, with the Super Scholar System, he was sure he could turn his life around and become a tycoon.
"Item: Jade Ring.
Ordinary Refinement consumes 15 energy points, Special Refinement consumes 10 energy points."
"Ordinary Refinement!"
"Item Refinement in progress!"
...
"Refinement successful!"
...
"Refinement successful!"
...
In no time, four out of the five rings had been refined, costing Su Hang a total of 87 energy points for double refinement. The four rings, which originally cost about 70,000 yuan, would likely fetch 200,000 yuan after refinement.
Since he held the rings in his hand during refinement, even though Xue Qi was right beside him, he couldn't detect anything. Su Hang could refine them with peace of mind.
He put the four refined rings in his pocket and was left with the last one. This jade ring was of much better quality than the other four, with exquisite craftsmanship and intricate dragon and phoenix designs, giving it an ancient charm.
This ring cost over 30,000 yuan, making it more valuable than the other four. Holding the ring in his hand, Su Hang summoned the system again.
"Item: Jade Ring.
Ordinary Refinement consumes 34 energy points, Special Refinement consumes 10 energy points."
He checked his attributes and found that after refining the previous four rings, he only had 13 energy points left. Ordinary Refinement was not enough, and he couldn't replenish energy points immediately, so he chose Special Refinement.
It was a gamble. If it failed, it would only cost him 10 energy points, which he could afford to waste.
"Special Refinement in progress..."
"Refinement successful! Energy points -10!"
"Obtained item: Storage Ring x1"
"What?"
Su Hang was stunned. He picked up the jade ring, which looked only slightly better in color but showed no significant changes. "Storage Ring?"
"Item: Storage Ring.
Attribute: Contains 0.1 cubic meters of space, cannot store living beings."
"Awesome!"
The ring's attributes appeared in Su Hang's mind, and he was pleasantly surprised, his heart pounding with excitement. Today, his luck was really off the charts. Just one Special Refinement, and he got a rare Storage Ring.
"Damn, you scared me! What's wrong with you?" Xue Qi, who was driving, was startled by Su Hang's sudden exclamation and almost crashed into the car in front. He turned to look at Su Hang, who was flushed with excitement.
"Uh!"
Su Hang paused, realizing his reaction was a bit over the top. He chuckled dryly, "Just remembered something. Keep driving."
"?" Xue Qi gave Su Hang a strange look and continued driving.
The excitement in his heart was hard to contain. A Storage Ring! Something that only appeared in fantasy novels. In real life, where could you find such a thing? Su Hang believed that if anyone knew the function of this ring, it would fetch an astronomical price.
Carrying a storage space with him, the rarity of the item made its value immeasurable. However, Su Hang had no intention of selling the ring. First, he was afraid of attracting unwanted attention, and second, such a good item should be kept for personal use.
Today was truly a day of great fortune. He put the ring on his right index finger, and it fit perfectly. Su Hang felt his mood brighten. Spending 30,000 yuan and 10 energy points for a Storage Ring was definitely worth it.
Although the storage space was small, it could be upgraded later using energy points for a second refinement, making the space larger.

Jiuding Tower.
A white car drove through the city and arrived at the Jiuding Tower in the city center, entering the underground parking lot.
Jiuding Tower was the office of Jiuding Group's Chengdu branch and the headquarters of Jiuding Group in Shu. The building was 24 stories high.
Due to some policy reasons, most of the buildings in the city center were old and dilapidated, but Jiuding Tower was an exception. The three interconnected towers spanning the road, when viewed from above, resembled a large tripod standing in the city center, making it a landmark of Chengdu.
The facade was lavishly decorated, and most people found it hard to hold their composure when entering the building. It was Su Hang's first time here, and the high-end interior design made him feel like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.
The 23rd floor was the CEO's office, and the 24th floor was the General Manager's office. These two floors were off-limits to regular employees, and the elevator only went up to the 22nd floor. However, the CEO's office had a dedicated elevator, and following Young Master Xue, they had a smooth passage.
They went directly to the 24th floor, found the General Manager's office, and without knocking, Xue Qi pushed the door open and walked in.
Beside the floor-to-ceiling window, behind the desk, a beautiful woman in a white business suit was reading some documents, seemingly unaware of their intrusion.
"Big Sister, I've brought him," Xue Qi shouted as he walked to the desk.
Xue Xuan looked up, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Her eyes passed over Xue Qi and landed on Su Hang, her flawless face breaking into a clean smile. She pointed to a chair, "Sit down for a moment. I'll be done in a minute!"
Su Hang nodded slightly and sat down without disturbing her.
"Xiao Qi, go out for a while," Xue Xuan waved at Xue Qi and then continued working.
Xue Qi seemed to want to say something but held it back, giving Su Hang a look before turning and leaving.
The office was left with only Xue Xuan and Su Hang. Xue Xuan carefully read the documents in her hand, and Su Hang sat alone, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
His gaze fell on Xue Xuan. When she was focused, she exuded an irresistible charm, elegant and graceful, like a phoenix soaring in the sky. Regardless of her impressive status, her beauty alone was enough to make most women feel inferior.
