Chapter 3: The Journey Ahead
Larry delved into his time spirit book, searching for information about the upcoming challenges. Among the text files, he found crucial details about the first appearance of zombies, projected to occur in around two years. At the age of 19, he was now on the brink of a perilous era.
His body was burdened with the accumulated toxicity of several decades. Before facing the impending dangers, he recognized the necessity of purifying his body. Refocusing his attention on the data file within the spirit book, he began searching for a solution.
One particular item caught his eye—the Special Sun Essence Herb. Although it was relatively common in the present, he knew it would become prohibitively expensive in the future. This herb held the potential to aid in the detoxification of his body.
Determined to take control of his own fate, Larry formulated a plan. He decided to embark on a journey to acquire the Special Sun Essence Herb. After packing the herb into his bag, he made a call to his parents to inform them of his upcoming trip.
Larry: Hey, Mom, Dad, I've been thinking about going on a trip for a while. I believe it will be a valuable experience for me.
Mom: (curious) A trip? Where and with whom?
Larry: (reassuringly) Yeah, Mom, it's a friend trip, and I will be back in one week.
Dad: (supportive) Son, take care but keep your phone always on.
Larry: Of course, Dad. I'll keep you updated on my whereabouts and well-being. Don't worry too much. I'll be fine.
With his parents' blessing, Larry set his plan in motion. He knew he had a limited window of opportunity to prepare for the challenges that lay ahead. Packing his essentials, he ventured deep into the forest.
After two days of camping, Larry's unwavering determination finally paid off as he stumbled upon the Special Sun Essence Herb. Gently plucking it from the earth, he cradled it with care, fully aware of its potential to cleanse his body of the toxic burden that had accumulated over decades. With the herb securely packed in his bag, he felt a renewed sense of purpose. " if i had storage ring, all things would be easy, now i have to carry all these herbs " As he paused to catch his breath, Larry's thoughts turned to the storage ring. He accessed the text page within his time spirit book, where he had previously acquired this crucial information. The status update now included this new revelation:

Larry was intrigued by the concept of a storage ring and all the possibilities it held, especially in a world teetering on the brink of upheaval. However, he knew that his immediate focus had to be on himself. Clearing his body of toxins and awakening his latent abilities, such as photographic memory and the potential of the Parasite Technology Skin, took precedence before he could embark on any grand ventures.
With steely resolve, Larry understood that he needed to start laying the foundation for his financial plan. Gathering the necessary resources from all corners of the world was a monumental task that demanded careful strategy and execution. Time was a precious commodity, and the two-year countdown until the predicted outbreak of the galactic war was a constant reminder of the urgency he faced.
Moreover, Larry realized that building a solid foundation was essential. He needed a base, a place where he could consolidate his resources, conduct research, and strategize for the impending challenges. The weight of these monumental tasks bore down on him, but he remained resolute. There was much to be done, and every moment counted.
After packing up his campsite, Larry returned to his mansion. With the Special Sun Essence Herb in his possession and a world of possibilities before him, he took his first steps on a path he was forging against time itself.
