Life is always full of twists and turns. At first, Gu Xi only planned to take a small revenge on the Ice Crystal Bird, but after the Ice Crystal Bird's repeated acts of kindness, she really couldn't bring herself to go against her conscience and cut off the birds' food supply.
Looking at the birds, a strange sense of guilt welled up inside Gu Xi. She shook her head vigorously. Now was not the time to think about these things; she should deal with the giant door key issue first.
The key that the Ice Crystal Bird BOSS just placed in her hand was shattered like glass shards and was completely unusable. She needed to think of a way to copy or recreate the key.
Moreover, it was getting late, and she needed to head home immediately.
Gu Xi affectionately patted the heads of the birds and said goodbye to them one by one. The birds reluctantly saw her off as she left the forest before flying away.
Along the way, Gu Xi could only protect it carefully. Since she couldn't communicate with the Ice Crystal Bird, the Ice Crystal Bird kept reminding her how to keep the key safe.
For example, this strange key can only be stored with mental energy. If you don't want it to break, you have to continuously nourish it with mental energy. Once you remove the mental energy, it will immediately disintegrate. But this doesn't mean that as long as you have mental energy, it won't break. If you apply too much force, it will shatter right away.
Furthermore, when she tries to put the key in her backpack, the game gives her a warning: "Fragile and valuable item, please keep it with you." So she can only take it back while it's still in her hand.
She carefully carried the key back to the ship and then went straight to the workroom.
She casually sat down in the office chair and began to examine the key.
Gu Xi manipulated an object, causing the key, enveloped in spiritual energy, to levitate in the air. The broken key rose and fell, swaying uncertainly.
Normally, broken things can be restored simply by repairing them. However, considering that this key requires mental energy to preserve, it is likely that mental energy is also needed for repair.
Unfortunately, she had no knowledge in this area, and time was of the essence, so it would be faster to consult an expert.
Gu Xi put away the key and directly opened the special space of the auction invitation.
The fastest way to get something is to ask the Book of Greed directly; as long as you have enough gold, it can give you a satisfactory answer.
Gu Xi had recently visited the Book of Greed once. When she entered the space, she found that the Book of Greed was absorbing nutrients from the Spiritual Flower.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that the Book of Greed clearly displeased at her arrival.
The Book of Greed: "What are you doing here?!"
It expressed its disdain. However, its attitude changed swiftly when it saw what Gu Xi was holding.
The Book of Greed: "Wait, the scent of the items in your hands is so familiar. Take some of them."
Gu Xi, being very sensible, leaned over and handed over the broken key in her hand.
The Book of Greed circled the key twice and said, "It's really not easy to find all the pieces even though this thing is so broken."
Gu Xi: "So, what exactly is the purpose of this key?"
The Book of Greed: "This information is very valuable, and the cost is not cheap. But I guarantee you won't regret buying it."
Gu Xi: So you've got her figured out this time?
As if sensing what she was about to say, the Book of Greed continued, "By the way, this time is different. Your tricks won't work. If you want to buy, you must be sincere."
Gu Xi nodded. Things had come to this point; she couldn't just give up. So she nodded, prepared for the Book of Greed to demand an exorbitant price.
