Gu Shi stared intently at what was happening above him. After seeing that the three treasures were about to break into pieces, he subconsciously reached out to catch the falling fragments.
But before those pieces of debris could fall into his hands, they turned into smoke and disappeared into the air.
In just a few minutes, the three treasures were completely turned into dust.
Before Gu Shi began to feel heartbroken, the floating ball of light emitted an intense light that overwhelmed the bright lights and illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime.
Gu Shi was so stimulated that he closed his eyes and couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.
When he opened his eyes again, the treasure, the ball of light, the pattern... all these things had disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.
However, the chaotic environment in the room quickly brought his thoughts back to reality.
Gu Shi looked up and saw a green jade bead slowly falling from the place where those things were originally.
Gu Shi reached out and caught it.
"Is this... a seed?"
Gu Shi's voice was filled with uncertainty. Although its appearance and touch did not look like a seed at all, there was no more likely guess than this.
Gu Shi held it tightly in his palm. After all, this was a very important thing fused together from three treasures, and he had to protect it well.
Now that the most important goal has been achieved, it is time to leave. The light just now was too strong. Even if the curtains are drawn, people outside can still notice it.
If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid things will get complicated.
Gu Shi quickly cleaned up and carefully confirmed that anything accidentally stained with blood in the room had been destroyed before he hurried downstairs.
When passing by the counter, Gu Shi handed a small bag of gold coins to the boss who was standing behind the counter in a daze.
He explained, "I'm sorry, boss. I accidentally damaged some things in the room. Consider these gold coins as compensation."
The boss took a look at it and said in surprise, "So many gold coins! No, sir, this is too much. Even if you destroy my room, you won't need so many gold coins.
You should take these gold coins back first. I will go up and check the damage. You just need to pay the price."
Gu Shi shook his head and refused: "No, you can take it without worry. I have to leave now for something urgent. Goodbye."
Gu Shi didn't say anything more to the boss. He threw down the bag of gold coins and hurried towards the teleportation tower.
Gu Shi rushed back to school as quickly as possible. Only after returning to the familiar place did he feel a little relieved.
After returning to the dormitory with the jade bead that looked like a seed, Gu Shi contacted the system immediately.
[Gu Shi: Are you there? I have something important to discuss with you. Just now…]
Gu Shi described in detail what had happened before, and then asked the system about Yuzhu's situation.
[Gu Shi: Can you tell what this jade bead is? I think it's most likely a seed.
Gu Shi: If this is really a seed, how should I grow it?
…………】
Gu Shi sent several messages in a row, pouring out all the questions in his mind, and then he lay down on the bed.
Gu Shi squinted his eyes and stretched lazily. "Huh, I've been worrying about it for so long, and now it's finally resolved. I didn't expect that going out would yield such great rewards. If I had known earlier, I should have gone out for a walk earlier."
Gu Shi lay on the bed, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes and rested. The heavy blood loss not long ago still put a certain burden on his mind and body. It was a good opportunity for him to take a short rest.
However, Gu Shi did not intend to sleep. Although there was no movement yet, there would definitely be a lot of things to discuss after the system saw his message.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Gu Shi had just said a few words when a message from the system appeared on the chat interface.
[System: Where is the thing?]
System: Send it here for me to see.】
Since Gu Shi had just described the whole thing very clearly, the system did not ask any further questions, but directly asked Gu Shi to show him the seed.
As for Gu Shi’s questions, let’s wait until he has checked the seed.
Gu Shi sat up, put the things into the small portal that appeared in front of him, then leaned sideways on the soft pillow, silently waiting for the system's inspection results.
The waiting time was much longer than he expected. After yawning for the third time, Gu Shi finally couldn't help but ask the system a question.
[Gu Shi: Is this going to be troublesome? How long will it take? If it takes a long time, I'd like to rest for a while.]
Lying in bed with nothing to do is easy to make you sleepy. Gu Shi is not in a very good mood now, and his eyelids have begun to droop uncontrollably.
[System: You should take a rest first. It will take me some time. We can discuss it tomorrow if there is anything.
Gu Shi: Okay, I'm going to sleep first. Good night.
Since even the system said so, he certainly wouldn't continue to hold on.
After sending this message, Gu Shi yawned again, then he curled up in the quilt and fell asleep quickly.
Gu Shi slept until the next afternoon. When he woke up and picked up the phone beside the bed, he saw that it was already past three in the afternoon.
Gu Shi glanced at the chat interface with the system. The last sentence was still the good night he sent. It seemed that the work on the system was not finished yet.
After Gu Shi finished washing up, he dawdled and went to the cafeteria to eat a meal and bought a lot of snacks before the system finally responded.
Looking at the palm-sized ceramic flowerpot sent back by the system, Gu Shi was quite confused.
【Gu Shi: What are you doing...?
System: I've figured out that the jade bead you brought back is indeed a seed. I've already planted it and provided it with the most suitable environment for growth.
System: This small flowerpot you see is actually a spiritual artifact. I've already set up all the necessary conditions inside it, and it provides ample nutrients. All you need to do is keep it with you so the seeds inside can germinate quickly.
Gu Shi: Do you mean to carry it with you? Can I leave it in my room?
System: It is best to carry it with you, because the appearance of this seed is affected by your blood, and it can only germinate when it is with you.
System: If conditions permit, you can input some magic power into the flower pot every day, so that it will grow faster.
