"...Do you remember what I just taught you?"
"I remember."
In the familiar room, the system and Gu Shizheng sat face to face, concentrating on one-on-one teaching.
This was the first time the system transformed into a human form in front of Gu Shi. Just as Gu Shi had imagined, the system's human form was a very handsome young man.
He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long black hair tied into a high ponytail and wearing a light blue robe. His ethereal aura was very consistent with people's stereotype of cultivators.
After several days of investigation all night long, the system has now determined the location for planting the ancient trees. The next thing to deal with is Gu Shi, the main executor of the plan.
The system explained the entire plan to Gu Shi in great detail, and also taught him step by step those steps that required his involvement.
He didn't stop teaching until he was sure that Gu Shi had remembered it completely.
Although it was called teaching, Gu Shi actually only followed the system to learn for one afternoon. After all, their time was tight. However, for Gu Shi, this amount of time was enough.
The system nodded in satisfaction at Gu Shi's performance and praised him, "Well, you did very well. That concludes our small lesson. We'll set off tomorrow morning. Are you ready?"
Gu Shi nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I'm in good condition now, and tomorrow's operation will definitely be completed smoothly."
"Although I can't go with you, I will always support you from behind. You are not fighting alone." As he said that, the system patted Gu Shi's shoulder.
Gu Shi smiled and said, "Yeah, I know."
The system glanced at the time and asked, "It's getting late now. Do you want me to take you home?"
Gu Shi shook his head. "No, I told my parents before I came out that I wouldn't be going back tonight. Can I sleep on the floor here?"
The system originally reserved teaching time for one afternoon and one evening, so Gu Shi directly told his parents that he would be away for a while, and like last time, he was going to a place where it was inconvenient to contact them.
Now that Gu Shi has completed his studies ahead of time, the remaining time is naturally left for him to use as he pleases.
Since Gu Shi said so, the system did not reject his request. Gu Shi quickly made a soft bed for himself in the room.
"good evening."
"good evening."
Although they said good night to each other, the system had no intention of resting. After seeing Gu Shi lying down, he turned off the lights in the room, then changed into a ball of light and went about his business.
Gu Shi was the only one left in the room.
Gu Shi lay in bed for a long time, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Gu Shi finally sat up silently. He turned his head to look at the flowerpot not far away. The ancient tree planted in it was quietly emitting a little light.
Gu Shi sighed silently.
He was actually feeling nervous about the plan he was about to carry out tomorrow. Even though he had experienced many ups and downs in the other world over the years, he still couldn't calm down at this moment.
Gu Shi was not afraid of how many dangers he would encounter tomorrow, he was just worried.
They worried that their plan wouldn't be successfully completed, that this ancient tree, upon which they placed such high hopes, wouldn't be able to achieve their desired goal, and that the world would fall into the hands of the devil...
In the silent darkness, Gu Shi suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Xie Yuanchuan a long time ago.
He complained quietly, "Is that why you said it was an uncertain plan? You guys left with ease, but I have to stay here anxious and unable to sleep."
After sitting there in a daze for a while, Gu Shi lay down again. He closed his eyes and tried his best to empty himself. Even if he couldn't sleep, it would be good to close his eyes and rest to accumulate energy.
If he continued to think about this and that, he was afraid that not only would he not be able to sleep, but he would also cause himself a lot of unnecessary troubles.
Gu Shi lay in bed until dawn.
"Gu Shi, it's almost time to get up!" The system came to call him to get up.
After hearing the system's voice, Gu Shi sat up.
Seeing that he was very awake when he opened his eyes, not at all like he had just woken up, the system asked suspiciously, "Did you not sleep all night?"
Gu Shi tidied his hair and replied, "Yeah, I have a little insomnia. Don't worry, I'm very energetic now. I just didn't sleep for one night. It won't be a problem for me at all."
The system seemed to see through the anxiety hidden in Gu Shi's heart. He gently comforted him, "Don't be too stressed. Don't forget, you are not alone in this operation. I have found ten teammates for you."
"But..." Gu Shi hesitated to speak.
In this world, people have only been on the path of cultivation for a few short years. Even the most talented people are unlikely to soar to great heights in such a short time.
Gu Shi himself was purely an accident. He knew very well that his current strength was due to both talent and luck, and the path he had taken could not be replicated by others.
So it was hard for Gu Shi not to worry. Even if the system found the ten strongest people on Blue Star to be his teammates, they would probably not be able to keep up with Gu Shi's pace.
The system understood the unspoken meaning in Gu Shi's words and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, the teammates who will be traveling with you later will definitely not hold you back. They should be stronger than you."
"ah?"
Gu Shi's face was full of confusion.
The system explained, "I gave them a lot of elixirs that can temporarily increase their strength. Combined with some other tricks, the strength of the teammates who will be traveling with you today will not be lower than the ninth level."
Gu Shi was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that the system had prepared such a big surprise for him.
He had never thought about this before. The main reason was that although there were potions with similar effects in the other world, their duration was very short and their side effects were terrible. Basically, no one would choose to use them unless it was a life-and-death situation.
After being shocked, Gu Shi immediately asked, "Do you still have this pill? Can you give me one too?"
"I do have quite a bit of stock, but forget it." The system directly rejected Gu Shi's request. "Although this kind of medicine can significantly increase your strength after taking it, it also has quite a few side effects."
“Simply put, this kind of pill will make the user’s magic power violent and difficult to control, making it difficult to perform delicate operations.
This is not a good thing for you.
Furthermore, after the effective period of the elixir expires, the user will become extremely weak and unable to use the magic power in their body for a period of time."
