Chapter 948: Super State Storm, Boosting Potion
But now there are corresponding redemption options.
Then Zong Shen doesn't mind making a proper selection.
The first is [Magic Scroll]. After turning on this option, not surprisingly, there is a limited amount of redemption.
[Level 6 Magic Scroll]
[Choose one of three categories: attack, defense, and assistance]
[After selecting a category, a scroll that meets the requirements and level will be randomly selected]
[Limited redemption: 2]
(Redemption points: 3500/card)
…
[Fifth level magic scroll]
[Optional attack...]
[After selecting a category...]
[Limited redemption: 4]
(Redemption points: 2000/ticket)
…
[Level 4 Magic Scroll]
[Optional attack, defense...]
[After selecting the category, you will...]
[Limited redemption: 6]
(Redemption points: 800/card)
…
Not only is this place only for purchase, but it also only provides the redemption of fourth, fifth, and sixth level magic scrolls. It also has some blind box properties, but you can choose the type direction corresponding to the magic scroll.
For high-level magic scrolls, the most useful ones are of course the attack type.
Generally speaking, high-level magic is equivalent to large-scale magic in a certain way, which is why super-level magic is called "natural disaster level".
Compared with large-scale assistance and defensive blessings, large-scale attacks are naturally more enjoyable, and Zong Shen often does these tricks.
Relying on the mobility of the giant dragons Heizi, Feihu, and Yingjiang, and their super-speed dive collision and defense capabilities, they can run over the enemy's head to release high-level magic scrolls or throw explosives such as [Goblin Bomb].
So for the [Sixth Level Magic Scroll], Zong Shen naturally chose the attack type.
And I spent 7,000 points in one go to redeem all two limited copies!
After his challenge points were deducted, two scrolls shining with a faint golden light condensed out.
These two [Magic Scrolls] are completely different from the recruitment scrolls.
Firstly, the runes on the surface are more complicated and exquisite, and secondly, Zong Shen's magic perception can detect the fluctuations of magic power emitted by these two [Magic Scrolls].
Although the specifications and sizes of the [Magic Scrolls] are the same, the magic runes drawn on the surface are different.
The edge of one of the scrolls is a wind pattern connected from end to end, and the other is a more heroic thunder pattern.
After this period of training and experience accumulation, Zong Shen is no longer completely ignorant of magic runes, and has become somewhat familiar with some runes with more obvious characteristics.
Magic runes themselves are symbols and words that can contain elemental magic.
After combining with special drawing techniques and magic materials, it becomes the basic scroll of [Magic Scroll]. After that, it needs to be engraved with magic.
In a broad sense, there are two production techniques for [Magic Scroll].
They are spell sealing and spell model compilation. The former directly seals the corresponding magic into the scroll and releases it again when waiting to be unsealed.
The latter uses rune drawing techniques to draw spell models into it.
When the activation is activated, the spell model on the scroll will absorb the free elemental magic power and complete the spell casting process.
The former is simpler than the latter, but the power of the [Magic Scroll] made in this way will be reduced by 10% to 20%, and as time goes by, the effect of the internally sealed spells will gradually decrease, resulting in irreversible loss of elements. .
If you want to store it for a long time, you need another container. If you store it for a few years at most, the magic will be greatly lost, resulting in a significant reduction in the power of the magic.
The latter has no problems. It can be stored naturally until the scroll material decays, and the magic power will not be compromised. It just requires a certain amount of time to construct the spell and absorb the elemental magic when activating and releasing it.
Most of the [Magical Rare Objects] have similar manufacturing principles, but the production of the Rare Objects involves some knowledge of forging and mechanical engineering. The magic contained in them is basically in a solidified state, and will become ineffective as the materials age. .
Most of the [Magic Scrolls] offered for exchange by the lord system are the latter.
That is, a scroll made by drawing the corresponding spell model.
From the perspective of appreciation of craftsmanship and appearance, it can be described as exquisite.
Each [Magic Scroll] is like a folded scroll.
Zong Shen held a scroll in his left and right hands and looked at it carefully.
The only good thing about blind box exchange is that you will never know what it is unless you take a closer look at it.
At present, Zong Shen can only confirm that these two scrolls are of attack type. As for what kind of sixth-level magic it is and how powerful it is, he has no idea at all!
He raised his hands and looked at the two scrolls at the same time.
A golden attribute information subtitle appears.
[Thunder and Rain Spell Scroll (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic]
[Level 6 Thunder Attack Magic]
[Effect: After activating the scroll, you can activate the sixth-level thunder attack magic [Thunder and Rainfall] to attack the designated area]
[Level 6 thunder attack magic: Thunder Rainfall (attacks a circular area with a radius of one kilometer, 1200 thundery raindrops fall from the air within the target range within ten seconds, each raindrop touches any physical target. Can cause a thunderous flash explosion, causing 1500 points of thunder magic damage within a 2-meter radius around the explosion point. The damage caused by thunderous raindrop flash explosions can be superimposed)]
[This magic scroll can only be used once]
(I didn’t expect that thunder can turn into raindrops and fall down)
Of course, it just looks like raindrops, which is quite deceptive.
Think about the scene where the dense thunderstorm hits the enemy's head
Believe me, it will definitely teach those guys a lesson they will never forget)
…
[Super State Storm Spell Scroll (Gold)]
[Quality: Epic]
[Level 6 Wind Attack Magic]
[Effect: After activating the scroll, you can activate the sixth-level wind attack magic [Super Storm] to start moving from the designated area]
[Sixth-level wind attack magic: Super Storm (condensing a super storm in a designated area, a storm with low-pressure airflow characteristics. A powerful cyclone can cause meteorological effects for hundreds of kilometers around, and within 10 kilometers around the eye of the storm) The damage is particularly huge, it can cause strong winds, with 150 points of wind magic damage per second. The impact within one kilometer of the eye of the storm is relatively small, so please choose the location where the super storm is placed as the super storm can last It lasts from 2 hours to 12 hours, depending on the environment of the place where it is released. Mountainous areas can have a negative impact on the storm's existence time, while sea areas may increase the power and duration of the storm because this spell is somewhat uncontrollable. Sex, remember to release it away from the territory)]
[This magic scroll can only be used once]
(The super-state storm spell has vaguely touched the threshold of natural disaster-level magic.
The storm created by this spell is obviously uncontrollable and destructive.
Moreover, it will be affected by the environment and last for a long time. The storm will move later, and even eventually move hundreds of kilometers away from the activation location.
It is extremely easy to cause accidental damage. If used in sea areas with suitable climate, it may be used as a trigger to sweep up a real natural storm)
…
"Be good..."
"Isn't this a man-made typhoon?"
Zong Shen thought with some surprise.
He can understand the [Thunder Rain Spell Scroll (Gold)].
Essentially, thunder bombards a designated area in the form of raindrops.
As for the [Super State Storm Spell Scroll (Gold)] at the back, he was more surprised. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a man-made typhoon.
Before its arrival, tropical low-pressure cyclones would always form in the sea every summer and autumn in China's coastal areas.
When the sustained wind speed in the center of a tropical cyclone reaches level 12 or above, it will be called a typhoon, and then there are strong typhoons and super typhoons.
Refer to the power system and magic destructive ability of Endless Continent.
Zong Shen believes that the basic power of this [Super Storm] is probably typhoon level.
There is only a slight difference in range and movement ability.
However, it was also mentioned in the detailed explanation of the skill of [Super Storm] that the final power and duration of the storm are volatile and are related to the terrain where the storm exists.
If it is in a mountainous area with undulating earth veins, the storm will be weakened. If it is in a sea area suitable for the expansion of low-pressure cyclones, the power and duration of the storm will be strengthened!
No matter what, these two [Level 6 Magic Scrolls] are in line with the power of the corresponding levels. Anyway, the 7,000 challenge points are well spent.
Especially the [Super State Storm] seems to have the potential to be explored further.
After checking out the [Sixth-level Magic Scroll], Zong Shen was not very interested in the fifth-level and fourth-level [Magic Scroll]. However, for the sake of reserve, he still chose to exchange them all. Anyway, it was not too expensive and saved money. Can't save many points.
At present, there are more and more combat hero-level talents in the territory, but there are not many consumable props available.
Even if Zong Shen himself doesn't like these fifth- and fourth-level [Magic Scrolls], he can still consider distributing them to other heroes under his command.
After the full set was redeemed, Zong Shen spent another 12,800 challenge points.
The current balance of challenge points that can be distributed is [3516872] points.
After redeeming the [Magic Scroll] option, Zong Shen immediately clicked on the [Buff Potion] option.
Here it is also divided into different sub-options according to the level of the potion.
…
[Elementary Gain Potion]
[Limited redemption: ∞]
(Redeem points: 8)
…
[Intermediate level gain potion]
[Limited redemption: 400]
(Redeem points: 30)
…
【Advanced Gain Potion】
[Limited redemption: 80]
(Redeem points: 120)
…
[Special grade gain potion]
[Limited redemption: 15]
(Redeem points: 1000)
…
There are not many levels of potions or potions to choose from.
It simply provides four levels: [Elementary], [Intermediate], [Advanced], and [Special].
Zong Shen had previously obtained a batch of intermediate potions from goblin merchant Boswell.
For the current person, I am afraid that the [Elementary] and [Intermediate] potions are of little significance to him. Even potions with effects such as deformation, floating, breath-holding, etc., can achieve minimal auxiliary effects.
He can achieve these abilities with existing props and equipment, and the effect is even better. There is no need to rely on potions to achieve them.
As for the [Advanced] and [Special Grade] potions, they may be of some use.
Based on previous exchange experience, most of the exchange items that can bring challenges to Mysterious Merchant Alpha are high-end limited edition and low-end free exchange models.
There are not many choices available for each redemption category.
Zong Shen now believed Alpha's original statement.
Right now:
Challenge-enhancing items account for 60%, and general-purpose items that can bring challenges account for 40%.
The proportion of common items that the mysterious merchant Beta can bring out in challenges has reached 70%.
This is also reflected in the types of exchanges.
Zong Shen first opened the redemption option for [Elementary Gain Potion].
There is no limit to the potions of this level. A single bottle only requires 8 challenge points to redeem and take away. If there are suitable potions, it is worth purchasing in bulk.
[Elementary Potion] Zong Shen himself cannot use it, but the warriors and citizens in the territory can.
Although the territory has [Moon Well], [Magic Well] and [Moon Spring] and other spring-type buildings that are continuously supplying beneficial spring water, as the population of the territory increases, it is not practical to continuously distribute these spring water. .
With the idea of purchasing basic potions, Zong Shen opened this option.
Below the option of [Elementary Gain Potion], the names of a few potions appeared. Their exchange prices are the same and the levels are the same, but the categories are different.
Zong Shen just scanned it roughly, and the golden subtitles responded quickly and appeared, annotating next to the item name like an AI picture translation.
[Elementary Recovery Potion (White)]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Primary recovery (60 seconds after drinking, restore 2 points of health per second, and have a slight healing effect on injuries)]
[The interval between drinking two bottles of primary recovery potion is 3 minutes, and the recovery effects cannot be superimposed. If multiple bottles are taken within 3 minutes, only the first bottle is effective]
…
[Primary hardening potion (white)]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Primary hardening (after drinking it, you can gain 5 points of armor value increase, which lasts for 3 minutes. The cooling period for taking similar potions of the same level is 15 minutes)]
[The interval between drinking two bottles of primary hardening potion is 15 minutes, and the hardening effects cannot be superimposed,...]
…
[Elementary Strength Potion (White)]
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Effect: Primary strength (after taking it, you can get 5 points of strength attribute improvement, which lasts for 10 minutes. The cooling period for taking the same potion of the same level is 1 hour)]
[The interval between drinking two bottles of primary strength potion is 1 hour...]
…
The three primary potions cover health recovery, defense gain and strength gain. However, as primary potions, their effects are not obvious.
Whether it is a 60-second, 2-point-per-second health recovery effect, or a 5-point increase in armor and strength, they are of little use at the moment.
What's more, these potions have a clear cooling-off period for taking them. Two bottles of the same potion of the same level are invalid if taken continuously within a certain period of time!
However, Zong Shen still exchanged part of the [Elementary Restoration Potion] for distribution to low-level warriors and citizens.
After spending 4,000 points, Zong Shen exchanged 500 bottles of [Elementary Recovery Potion (White)] to be distributed to the patrol troops to save consumption of [Moon Spring] and [Moon Spring].
In fact, even if these potions are sold in the [market], they will not lose money in the end.
The [Market] has a huge throughput of consumables such as potions. Zong Shen had previously made a lot of money by selling [Moon Spring] and [Moon Spring].
In recent times, many lords have taught themselves potions, potions, herbal medicine, alchemy, pharmacy and other skills through various channels, and made profits by making potions and selling them.
There are also some luckier lords who have recruited relevant technical talents, and they are also flexing their muscles in pharmaceuticals and keeping up with the pharmaceutical-related industry chain.
There are also some lords whose territories are located in areas with rich water and vegetation such as mountains, hills, and river valleys, and they can also collect medicinal herbs for sale.
All in all, this exchange may not make a profit, but it will definitely not make a loss.
Zong Shen also has a senior pharmacist under his command, that is Clarissa Theresa. During this time, in addition to researching "Magic Cola", she was also training pharmacist apprentices and making some middle and low-level potions. Supply territory needs.
Combined with the few pharmacist-related books Zong Shen had on hand, it would not be a problem to train some junior and intermediate pharmacists.
In addition, the [Special Knowledge School (Gold)] and [Advanced Library (Purple)] in the territory can also contribute to the cultivation of talents in the territory.
Maybe not long after, the territory will have its first batch of talent teams.
Primary and intermediate potions will one day become common supplies in the territory.
After redeeming the [Elementary Recovery Potion], Zong Shen exited the redemption option for the [Elementary Gain Potion].
He has no interest in [Elementary Hardening Potion (Strength)] and [Elementary Strength Potion (White)]. The 5-point bonus is better than nothing, so there is no point in wasting points to redeem them.
Then Zong Shen opened the redemption option for [Intermediate Gain Potion].
There are four intermediate potions available for redemption.
[Intermediate Recovery Potion (Blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: Intermediate recovery (within 60 seconds after drinking, 6 points of health will be restored per second, and it will have a certain healing effect on injuries)]
[The interval between drinking two bottles of intermediate recovery potions is 2 minutes, and the recovery effects cannot be superimposed. If multiple bottles are taken within 2 minutes, only the first bottle is effective]
…
[Intermediate magic resistance potion (blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: Intermediate magic resistance (after taking it, you can gain 25 points of magic resistance enhancement, which lasts for 5 minutes. The cooling period for taking similar potions of the same level is 10 minutes)]
[If you take multiple bottles of intermediate magic resistance potions in a short period of time, the effects cannot be superimposed]
…
[Intermediate Eagle Eye Potion (Blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: Intermediate eagle eye (after taking it, you can obtain intermediate eagle eye vision, which increases the visual distance and observation vision by 10% to 20% according to the user's original visual ability, and lasts for 5 minutes. The cooling period of taking similar potions of the same level for 20 minutes)】
[…The effects cannot be superimposed]
…
[Intermediate satiety potion (blue)]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Effect: Intermediate satiety (after taking it, it can replace the effect of diet in a short period of time, restore 35 points of hunger and satiety, and eliminate the negative effects of hunger to a certain extent. It lasts for 2 hours. Please eat more before the end of the validity period, otherwise it will be caused by satiety. The hunger and satiety provided by the abdominal potion will be deducted in one go)]
[This potion cannot completely replace the effect of dietary supplements, and cannot be superimposed to restore hunger and satiety]
…
The grading of potions is slightly different from the grading of conventional items and equipment.
[Elementary] corresponds to the white ordinary level.
[Intermediate level] corresponds to the blue excellent level.
Among them, the level of green advanced level has been omitted. In fact, the effects of [elementary] and [intermediate] potions are indeed very different.
At least Zong Shen can respect the effect of [Intermediate Potion].
Its recovery potion can restore a total of 360 health points in one minute.
It can play a life-saving role for second- and third-level warriors.
You must know that Colby, who was just recruited, only had 265 health points.
Even the third-level [Dragon-Transformed Gun-Shield Warrior] with level 10 has only 585 health points in its standard state.
Zong Shen has seen a lot of high-level warriors and legendary powerhouses recently, but he was not fooled by the high health points that often cost thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
In fact, most warriors below level five do not have high health points.
Not to mention those spell casters and crossbow shooters of the same level.
On the contrary, those ferocious monsters have much higher health points at the same level.
In any case, the effect of [Intermediate Potion] can have an obvious effect on most warriors. Although Clarissa Theresa, a senior pharmacist in the territory, can make it, it also takes time and has to purchase raw materials. Simply I took this opportunity to purchase a batch.
Among the four [intermediate potions], not all of them are favored by Zong Shen. The [intermediate satiety potion (blue)] should be eliminated first. There is no point in falsely filling your stomach. With this cost, it is better to go directly Let the soldiers prepare emergency dry food.
The remaining three potions are relatively practical.
Zong Shen made a plan in his mind, and after weighing the exchange price, he basically had an idea in his mind.
Don't look at the redemption price of a single bottle of these [intermediate potions], which is only 30 challenge points, but the exchange of potions is done in batches.
If it is exchanged at will without restraint, it is also a bottomless pit project.
Fortunately, the redemption limit for [Intermediate Gain Potion] is 400 bottles. If you redeem according to this standard, you don’t have to worry about spending excessive amounts.
After a brief pause, Zong Shen chose to redeem:
[Intermediate Restoration Potion (Blue)] can be exchanged for 200 bottles, [Intermediate Eagle Eye Potion (Blue)] and [Intermediate Magic Resistance Potion (Blue)] can be exchanged for 100 bottles respectively. A total of 12,000 challenge points are spent, and exactly 400 are used up. bottle purchase quota.
After the exchange was completed and the points were deducted, four boxes of potions appeared in front of him.
Each box contained 100 bottles of potions, and Zong Shen pocketed them with a wave of his hand.
These potions will all come in handy.
Among them, some of the [Intermediate Eagle Eye Potion (Blue)] can be distributed to the bow and crossbow shooters under your command. Taking it can improve vision at critical times. The other part can be provided to the patrolling troops in small quantities and in batches.
The total number of potions was not much, but it was enough for Zong Shen.
In the next period of time, his strategy will focus on consolidating his base, and his external development projects will mainly focus on plundering the population, while also dealing with challenges from surrounding lords. Although the possibility of such a thing is very low, he still has to prepare a few moves.
Moreover, Zong Shen later opened up the outer city area and established a trade settlement and information exchange place for the lords.
[Market] Trade is an online transaction, and its convenience is self-evident, but it cannot completely replace the significance of a trading settlement.
Under such strategy and arrangement expectations, [Intermediate Eagle Eye Potion (Blue)] has obvious benefits for city defense shooters.
As for those [Intermediate Magic Resistance Potions (Blue)] that can be distributed to surprise troops, the 25 points of magic resistance gain is naturally of no use against high-level spells.
However, it is of great use when surprise troops go around and intersperse enemy spellcasters. When most spellcasters rush to meet the enemy, they mainly use low-level spells that can quickly build spell models.
Then the gain brought by this 25-point magic resistance increase is obvious.
He redeemed 400 bottles of [Intermediate Potion], spending a total of 12,000 challenge points. After Zong Shen collected the batch of potions, he continued to look down.
Next is the redemption option for [Advanced Buff Potion], which is limited to 80 bottles. The redemption price for each bottle is 120 challenge points. He wants to see what good stuff is inside.
As the [Advanced Buff Potion] option opens, a new interface emerges.
The introduction of rows of [Advanced Potions] available for exchange was also refreshed simultaneously.
[Advanced Healing Potion (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Advanced healing (restores 150 health points instantly after taking it, and restores 5 health points per second for the next 180 seconds, and has a significant healing effect on injuries, except for broken limbs)]
[During the duration of the potion’s healing effect, you can take up to three bottles of advanced healing potion in a stack]
…
[Advanced Swiftness Potion (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Advanced agility (increases movement speed and nerve response speed by 50% after taking it, lasts for 15 minutes, cooling time is 4 hours)]
[The effects of this potion cannot be superimposed and may conflict with other speed-gaining skills]
…
[Advanced Latent Image Potion (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Advanced Stealth (after taking this potion, you can enter the advanced latent shadow state, which lasts for 15 minutes and will not be penetrated by detection magic and true seeing eyes of the fourth level and below. The cooling time is 1 hour)]
[The level of the latent shadow effect is fixed, and whether you attack or be attacked during this period, it will expire prematurely]
…
[Advanced Guardian Potion (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Advanced Guardian (after taking it, you can get a layer of advanced guardian effect shield, with 6000 points of solid value and 60 points of dual resistance. When out of combat, the shield solid value will lose 2 points every second. The cooling time of taking the potion is 4 hours)】
[Potions with similar effects cannot be taken during the cooling time of this potion]
…
[Advanced Madness Potion (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Advanced madness (lose part of your sanity, gain 30% double speed increase and 30 points of basic physical attack gain, temporarily block 50% of pain perception, last for 10 minutes, cooldown time is 2 hours)]
[After the madness effect ends, it will bring about a certain degree of weakness]
[The effects of similar potions cannot be superimposed]
…
[Advanced Mana Tide Potion (Purple)]
[Quality: rare grade]
[Effect: Advanced Mana Tide (the upper limit of magic value increases by 300 points after taking it, and 5 magic points are restored every second, lasting for 10 minutes, and the cooling time is 2 hours)]
[After the mana tide ends, the user will be in a state of mana overdraft, which will last for 2 minutes, during which the mana cannot be restored]
[The effects of similar potions cannot be superimposed, but they will not conflict with the effects of mana recovery skills]
…
Among the redemption options for this [Advanced Gain Potion], six types of advanced potions are provided for Zong Shen to redeem.
Needless to say, the effects of these high-level potions are much better than the first two levels of potions.
However, his redemption quantity is only 80 bottles, so he still needs to make a reasonable distribution.
As for the quality level of these high-end potions being purple and rare, Zong Shen is not surprised. The potion level system is similar to the magic core, and there is no overly complicated grading, so there is no regularity in the corresponding quality.
Sometimes it is normal for items of two levels to be one or two levels higher in quality.
The first thing he redeemed was [Advanced Healing Potion (Purple)], which can instantly replenish 150 health points, plus 5 points per second, which lasts for 180 seconds, making the total health value of a single bottle restored. Reached 1050 points.
The most important thing is that [Advanced Healing Potion (Purple)] can be stacked up to three bottles to take effect at the same time. In other words, the maximum total health value recovery within three minutes can reach as much as 3150 points!
It is suitable for high-level warriors of the fifth and sixth levels, even Zong Shen can use it.
In terms of recovery efficiency alone, this level of healing potion is not inferior to [Moon God Spring].
Of course, the biggest advantage of [Moon God Spring] is that its health recovery speed is instantaneous in full state, and there is no limit on the superposition of effects.
As long as you drink enough in one breath, the upper limit of the recovery effect can reach a considerable level, which is suitable for saving lives in emergencies!
So Zong Shen is going to redeem 30 bottles of [Advanced Healing Potion (Purple)].
Zong Shen is not planning to redeem the [Advanced Swiftness Potion (Purple)] in the future. Its speed-increasing effect will conflict with the speed-increasing skills. Those agile warriors and shooters are all lacking in similar speed-increasing abilities.
When the number of redemptions is limited, there is no need to waste the times here.
For the remaining four high-level potions, Zong Shen exchanged 10 bottles of [Advanced Latent Shadow Potion (Purple)], 30 bottles of [Advanced Guardian Potion (Purple)], and 10 bottles of [Advanced Mana Tide Potion (Purple)].
After spending 9,600 challenge points, all 80 bottles of high-level potions were redeemed.
Among them, the exchange quantity of [Advanced Guardian Potion (Purple)] and [Advanced Healing Potion (Purple)] are the same, which shows the importance Zong Shen attaches to it.
Each bottle of [Advanced Guardian Potion (Purple)] is equivalent to carrying the [Advanced Guardian] skill with you, and can be distributed to your close heroes to save their lives in times of crisis.
80 bottles of high-end potions of different types floated in front of Zong Shen.
Their colors are slightly different. Life-restoring potions are mostly red or light red, like diluted blood. Other types of potions have similar patterns.
He reached out and put all the potions into his storage compartment.
