Chapter 9 Mysterious Cell Phone
"Cellphone?" Zhou Lingfeng was a little confused. After a long pause, he suddenly said, "The cellphone you're talking about is one with a white metal casing, a black screen, no buttons, and about five or six inches in size?"
"Yes, that's it. Is that phone yours?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
"No, that's your grandfather's thing. If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it." Zhou Lingfeng smiled and said, "That phone is your grandfather's treasure."
"Grandpa's treasure? Where did Grandpa get it?" Zhou Wen asked again when he heard that Zhou Lingfeng's tone seemed a little wrong.
Zhou Lingfeng told Zhou Wen the story of the cell phone, leaving him stunned.
Zhou Wen’s grandfather was a carpenter back then, but he wasn’t the ordinary carpenter who made tables, chairs, and stools. He could make those things, but his main job was to build some antique wooden buildings.
When the Guide Ancient City was rebuilt in the past, the original ancient appearance had to be restored, so many antique wooden buildings had to be built. Zhou Wen's grandfather took the job and worked in the Guide Ancient City for more than a year.
During this time, a dry ancient well was dug out at the construction site of the ancient city. They were working overnight and there were no outsiders there in the middle of the night, only Zhou Wen's grandfather and a few other workers.
When the ancient well was dug out, a faint precious light was emitted from the bottom. Several workers thought they had dug up some treasure. Finally, they made an agreement and went down the well to dig for treasure, hoping to make a fortune.
After going down the ancient well, they found an old rotten wooden box. The wooden box was almost rotten and there were many cracks on it. The light came from the cracks.
Several workers brought the box up, originally thinking that there were some treasures inside, and they could share it among themselves. Maybe they could live a life of luxury for the rest of their lives.
Who knew that when they opened the wooden box, it turned out to be a mobile phone. Although mobile phones had just become popular at that time, they were no longer a rare thing.
Moreover, the phone was still on at first, but when they took it out, the screen was black as if it had run out of battery. There were no buttons on the phone and no charging port was found.
Zhou Wen's grandfather and everyone else were very disappointed. They thought the phone was put there as a prank by someone. It looked broken and had no value, so they lost interest. Finally, Zhou Wen's grandfather threw it into the tool bag.
Later, the mobile phone was taken back to the Zhou family. Zhou Wen’s grandfather did not throw it away, but just kept it in the utility room. When Zhou Lingfeng was young, Zhou Wen’s grandfather told him this story, but at that time he told it as a ghost story, so Zhou Lingfeng remembered it quite clearly.
"That broken phone wouldn't turn on at all. When I was a kid, I took it to a phone repair shop to ask for the price. I wanted to exchange it for a few packs of cigarettes, but the repairman said it wasn't worth anything at all, so I just threw it into a biscuit box. You don't want to exchange it for money, do you? Phones are too new to be considered antiques, and older models are not worth much at all." Zhou Lingfeng said.
Zhou Wenxin said, "Luckily you didn't exchange that phone for cigarettes, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to cry."
"Has this phone never lit up before?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"How could it possibly light up? It's been on for who knows how many years. Even if it wasn't broken, it would have run out of power long ago." Zhou Lingfeng interrupted Zhou Wen: "Okay, I have a lot of things to do here. Anyway, I've already informed you. It's up to you whether you want to come to the wedding or not."
After saying that, Zhou Lingfeng hung up the phone.
"Did it dig it out from the ancient well in Guide Ancient City? Unfortunately, Guide Ancient City has become an alternate dimension, and ordinary people have no way of getting close to it. However, the actual combat test of Guide Mansion is in Guide Ancient City. I don't know where the ancient well is. Is there a chance to take a look at it?" Zhou Wen thought to himself, but he couldn't come up with any clues.
Just as Zhou Lingfeng said, mobile phones are only a product of the past few decades and cannot be antiques. Even if they are antiques, they cannot have such magical abilities.
"Oops, I forgot to ask Dad if he offended anyone outside." Zhou Wen originally wanted to call again, but after thinking about it, he didn't.
Anyway, An Jing is gone and no one really did anything to him. Since this matter has passed, there is no need to bring it up again.
Taking out the mysterious mobile phone and opening the Ant Nest program, Zhou Wen once again entered the ocean of monster hunting.
Ants were killed one by one by the bloody little man. The game character was just like him. Zhou Wen could empathize with the experience and insights gained from the battle.
Now Zhou Wen is becoming more and more experienced in killing powerful ants. He is more persistent than before. He can kill four or five hundred powerful ants in one life without dying, but before, he could only kill more than a hundred at most.
Unfortunately, my luck today was average. I only got two strength results and one physical crystal, and they were not of high levels. I could only use them as energy supplements and could not directly increase the level.
Just when he was in the mood to kill, he suddenly saw a red mutant powerful ant appear, which made Zhou Wen immediately happy. He controlled the bloody little man to rush forward.
It was difficult for Zhou Wen to kill the mutant ant because he hadn't learned the Hercules Fist before. This time, he went up and used the Hercules Fist to smash the mutant ant's head, and then he used another punch to blow up its body.
bite!
A crisp sound reached my ears, and sure enough, another dimensional crystal exploded, but unfortunately there was only one this time.
"Kill the mutant powerful ants and discover the physical crystal."
Zhou Wen took a closer look and saw a number 9 on the physical crystal, which made him feel happy.
His physical strength is now 8 points. With this physical strength crystal, he can make further progress.
Physical fitness is related to physical strength and endurance, etc. Only with a strong physique can one fight for a long time without getting tired, and the body's ability to withstand blows will also become stronger. The bitter Zen he practiced is mainly to strengthen the physique and strength.
He controlled the blood-colored man to pick up the physical crystal. Suddenly, a strange power came from the phone and spread to Zhou Wen's whole body in an instant, making all the cells in his body seem to come alive.
Seeing that his physique in the game data had turned into 9, Zhou Wen also felt that his body had become much tougher. When the ordinary strong ants bit the bloody man, the bloody man lost significantly less blood.
Zhou Wen continued to kill monsters. He found that this mutated powerful ant would occasionally appear deep in the nest. It did not have a fixed location, and it would not always drop dimensional crystals.
Later, Zhou Wen encountered the mutant powerful ants twice more, but nothing happened.
Time passed quickly as they killed monsters. Zhou Wen hadn't changed much from before. He almost slept during class and played games after class. He only practiced cooperation and tacit understanding with Fang Ruoxi and the others during training classes.
But for some reason, Zhou Wen always felt that Yu Qiubai looked at him strangely these past few days. Every time he looked at Yu Qiubai, he saw Yu Qiubai squinting his eyes and smiling at him, which made him a little nervous.
