Then Uncle Xuan closed the door and disappeared into the rainy night.
When Gu Yuan woke up again, it was already the next morning. The sky had cleared up, and the air after the rain was filled with the fragrance of soil, which stimulated Gu Yuan's nerves.
"Fuck, I was robbed?"
Gu Yuan stood up suddenly and rummaged through all the drawers in his wooden house until he saw several gold coins that he had polished to a shine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"One, two,... five, five, just right, not bad, not bad."
Gu Yuan relaxed. To survive in this world, he first needed money. Without money, he couldn't even meet the most basic needs of food, let alone other things.
But... who was that person last night? If he didn't rob me of my money, could he have raped me? I'm not a rapist myself. Gu Yuan touched his skinny stomach, which was almost shriveled with hunger.
"Hey? What is this?"
Gu Yuan suddenly noticed an extra milky white jade bottle on the counter. He carefully opened it, and a round, emerald green pill appeared in his hand. "Pill?" He leaned in and sniffed gently. A strange fragrance penetrated his nostrils and went straight to his brain.
"Holy crap! Are you high?"
Gu Yuan quickly tossed the pill into the jade bottle. Although he didn't know how to refine pills, he'd seen one run away before eating one. Well, it seemed he'd never seen one before... Anyway, he knew it was a pill, and the strange fragrance told him it was definitely good stuff! It must be worth a lot of money!
"Tsk, this thing must have been left behind by the guy from yesterday. He said there were two of them, could the other one be a woman? They wanted to do something bad so they knocked me out, and then left this pill for me today as compensation? Yeah, that must be it." Gu Yuan's eyes darted around, thinking about the whole thing. If Uncle Xuan knew Gu Yuan was thinking this way, he wouldn't keep the pill even if he was beaten to death.
"Host, please select the task: Sell one hundred first-grade healing pills or fifty second-grade healing pills within half a month. Reward for successful mission: Grant the host a spiritual vein."
Just as Gu Yuan was thinking about whether to find someone to identify the function of this pill, a mechanical and cold voice suddenly exploded in his mind.
Gu Yuan suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked around, and made sure he wasn't hallucinating.
"Could it be... could it be... that my golden... golden... finger is here?"
Gu Yuan’s eyes widened, his heart pounding. Is there really a golden finger?
"Host, please confirm to receive the task."
The mechanical voice sounded again, and Gu Yuan confirmed that this voice was real! It couldn't be more real!
He swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "Confirm to receive one hundred first-level healing pills."
"Host successfully received the mission. The host is granted the system companion space ring. Please claim the item yourself."
A faint light appeared, and a simple blue ring appeared on the ring finger of Gu Yuan's left hand. He stroked the ring with trembling hands, tears of excitement flowing from his eyes, "Sixteen years in another world, I finally waited for you to come!"
