Cheng Xuqing: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I’m so excited and happy!
Gu Shi: Why are you still going crazy? How long has this symptom lasted?
Gu Shi: With all the screen scrolling, I almost don’t recognize the word “ah” anymore.
Cheng Xuqing:!
Cheng Xuqing: It appeared!
Gu Shi:?
Cheng Xuqing: You can still look at your phone now!
Gu Shi:? Don’t make it sound like I’ve been in there.
Cheng Xuqing: I thought you were super busy right now. Is it over? You were the one who did that just now, right? Can you give me a little inside scoop?
Because Qi Yu, who was completely unaware of the situation, was also in the group, Cheng Xuqing asked in a rather obscure way. Since Gu Shi did not reveal it on his own initiative, he did not want to speak out about it directly.
Gu Shi didn't really care and answered directly in the group.
The four of them have been friends for such a long time, so Gu Shi is naturally clear about their styles. None of them are the kind of people who talk big.
As long as Gu Shi reminded them not to spread the news, they would naturally not say anything nonsense.
[Gu Shi: It’s over. It’s me. You’ve watched the whole thing. Why do you need me to tell you any inside information?
Cheng Xuqing: That giant tree! You!!
Cheng Xuqing: It’s actually true!!!
Gu Shi: Didn't you guess it a long time ago? Why are you still so excited?
Cheng Xuqing: This is different!
Cheng Xuqing: I never thought that all those dreams I had would come true one day. I really did contribute to saving the world...
Cheng Xuqing: I have no regrets in death, my family.
Gu Shi: That’s not necessary. Isn’t it good to be alive?
Cheng Xuqing: Hehe, hehehehe
Cheng Xuqing: Hehehe, hehe
Gu Shi:?
Zhao Zhize: Don't pay attention to him for now. He is still having a seizure. He is so shocked that he probably won't wake up for a while.
Zhao Zhize: Are you okay? Are you not hurt?
Gu Shi: I'm fine. I'm in great shape now.
Zhao Zhize: That’s good. You’ve worked hard to save the world, hero. Remember to have a good rest next time.
Gu Shi: How come even you are teasing me?
Gu Shi: I just contributed a little, this is not my own achievement.
Zhao Zhize: Hahaha, all in all, I’m glad you’re okay.
Zhao Zhize: When Qi Yu comes back in a while, the four of us will get together. It feels like it’s been a while since we’ve been together.
Gu Shi: Okay, no problem for me.
Cheng Xuqing: It’s fine with me. So many things have happened. Qi Yu will definitely be shocked when he comes back. I will definitely have a good talk with him then.
Zhao Zhize: Well, it’s a deal then.
After chatting freely with his friends in the group for a while, Gu Shi began to search for various news. After confirming that everything was moving in a good direction, he put down his phone with satisfaction.
Gu Shi lay comfortably on the bed, his body stretched out in a relaxed manner, staring at the ceiling in a daze, and then fell asleep unknowingly.

Seven days later, Gu Shi walked into Zhang Bei's ward carrying a big fruit basket.
"Brother Zhang Bei, I'm here to see you."
The system had notified Gu Shi two days ago that Zhang Bei had woken up. Considering that Zhang Bei had just woken up and might not have the energy to receive him, Gu Shi delayed coming until today.
Zhang Bei, who was originally lying on the bed with his eyes closed, slowly sat up and looked up at Gu Shi. "Why are you here? Um, what is this?"
Gu Shi shrugged. "You can't come empty-handed when visiting a patient. I couldn't think of anything to give, so I just picked the one that's least likely to go wrong."
Putting the fruit basket on the bedside table, Gu Shi turned to look at Zhang Bei leaning on the hospital bed and asked, "How have you been recovering these past two days? Is your injury serious?"
Zhang Bei smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I've almost recovered now. The bandages are just burns."
As he spoke, Zhang Bei waved his hand wrapped in a thick layer of bandages, indicating that his ability to move was not affected in any way.
Gu Shi looked him up and down, then frowned, "Are you really okay? Brother Zhang Bei, you look a little pale. You'd better not move around. Although it won't affect your movements, it will still hurt if it irritates the wound."
Zhang Bei obeyed the advice and put down his right hand, and instead touched his face with his uninjured left hand.
"Do you look a little pale? It must be due to the side effects. I've been feeling quite weak these past two days."
Gu Shi then remembered what the system had mentioned to him before - Zhang Bei and the others' previous strength had been forcibly increased using special methods, and there would be certain sequelae after the time limit expired.
Considering Zhang Bei's physical condition, Gu Shi did not stay in the ward for too long. He chatted with Zhang Bei for a while and then said goodbye and left.
After all, it's obvious to the naked eye that Zhang Bei's spirit is not very good, so it's better to let him rest for a while.

Ever since the ancient tree was planted, the demonic forces that had been dominating the Blue Planet quickly fell into a disadvantage, and humans began to counterattack under the protection of the ancient tree.
The results of the counterattack were also quite gratifying. All in all, mankind achieved a phased victory.
However, they were not able to completely expel the demon. Although the light spots produced by the ancient trees had spread all over the world, their distribution was not uniform.
The ancient tree has not yet grown to its peak. According to the human growth period, it is still just a teenager and its power has not been fully displayed, so it leaves a little breathing room for those demons.
The closer to the ancient trees, the denser the distribution of light spots, so a small number of demons are hiding in those areas where the light spots are sparse.
Gu Shiyou asked the system what to do with these demons, and the system said to just leave them alone for the time being.
This number of demons will not cause any trouble, but it can bring a sense of crisis to others, prompting them to practice well and work hard to improve their strength.
Knowing that there are enemies outside the world eyeing them covetously, even if someone wants to start an internal fight, they have to think twice first.
Just like that, after the battle with the demons ended, the world returned to peace and Gu Shi returned to his daily life.
