Chapter 396 The Escaped Ginseng



Yu Jiu spoke softly to it and gently stroked the small jade bowl to soothe it.

Sure enough, the little jade bowl moved; it shook its head and rubbed against Yu Jiu's fingers.

Can you talk?

The little jade bowl moved again, but made no sound; it seems it can no longer speak.

"Then I'll ask you a question and you answer it. If you brought me here, then move. If not, then don't move. I'll count to five, and then you give me an answer."

Yu Jiu cleverly started playing a question-and-answer game.

The little jade bowl was quite clever; as soon as Yu Jiu finished speaking, it moved, indicating that it agreed with Yu Jiu's words and that it was it that brought Yu Jiu here.

"So you've been bringing me all this way because you need my help with something?"

Otherwise, Yu Jiu really couldn't understand why Little Jade Bowl was so insistent on sending her here.

"If it is, move it twice; if it isn't, move it once."

To avoid misunderstanding, Yu Jiu explained that Xiao Yuwan simply wanted to move, so she offered a new way to respond.

The little jade bowl moved twice more, which meant it needed Yu Jiu's help.

But what exactly is it?

Yu Jiu couldn't figure it out, so he could only guess one by one.

However, despite all the guesses, the little jade bowl didn't react, so it seems that the guesses were wrong.

"So what exactly do you want me to do? You have to give me some hints, you can't just turn into a human, can you?"

Yu Jiu joked, "The little jade bowl is so clever, it's like some kind of magical treasure that has come to life in a novel. It has human thoughts, so is it trying to become human now?"

Yu Jiu was just joking, but the small jade bowl suddenly started shaking violently, which startled Yu Jiu.

"No way, baby, you're really going to cultivate into an adult? Are you a boy or a girl? How old do you have to be to cultivate into an adult? You're not going to be a chubby little baby, are you?"

Yu Jiu was amused and imagined the little jade bowl as a fair-skinned little baby of two or three years old. After all, that would fit its image. Now it was a clean and smooth little jade bowl, no longer the broken and rusty little bowl it used to be.

After hearing this, Xiaoyuwan suddenly flew up and angrily bumped into Yujiu's hand, as if she was dissatisfied with her words.

"Aren't you a chubby little baby, or an old man?"

Considering the long history of this bowl, it might even depict the image of an old man. In that case, it can't be called a treasure; it should be called an ancestor.

Yu Jiu immediately sat up straight.

But Xiaoyuwan bumped her hand twice more to show her displeasure, indicating that she had guessed wrong again.

"So what exactly are you? Just tell me what you want me to do. I can't figure it out no matter how much I guess. You managed to bump into me, so why don't you try writing with a pen?"

Yu Jiu was also helpless. He wanted to help, but he couldn't communicate with her because of the language barrier. He also didn't know what Xiao Yuwan was thinking. What could he do?

However, the idea of ​​writing with a pen reminded Xiaoyuwan that it seemed like a good idea.

So it conjured up a pen for itself.

Yu Jiu tied the pen to the bottom of the small jade bowl with a rope, so that when the bowl moved, the pen would move along with it and write words.

This method was indeed effective. Sure enough, the little jade bowl started to move shakily again, and the pen tip followed along on the fingertip, gradually forming a crooked character.

eat.

"Eat? Little Jade Bowl, are you hungry and want to eat, or are you about to level up and need something?"

With words on it, it was much easier to guess. Yu Jiu guessed it right away. After all, when it upgraded from the small broken bowl to the small jade bowl, it swallowed a lot of things from Yu Jiu, including money, food, and a lot of other random things. It wanted everything it had never eaten before.

Xiao Yuwan didn't answer her, and then wrote the next character in a crooked and messy way: 人 (person).

This character is much easier to write; it's just a stroke to the left and a stroke to the right, and it's finished quickly.

people! ! ! ! !

"Little Jade Bowl, you want to eat people? Have you gone mad?!"

The remaining wine was simply unbelievable.

Has her pure and lovely little jade bowl really deteriorated to this extent? What was it doing during the time it disappeared?

·····

Despite the language barrier, everyone could sense the little jade bowl's speechlessness. It quickly flew up and used its brush to scratch Yu Jiu's face, getting ink all over her face.

Pah! Even dogs wouldn't eat that!

After venting its anger, the little jade bowl flew back in a huff and continued writing on the paper. Then, slowly, the character "深" (deep) appeared. After finishing it, it angrily added three exclamation marks to express its dissatisfaction.

"Oh, so you're eating ginseng."

Yu Jiu suddenly realized, and now she understood.

"Then why did you bring me here? In the real world, there are ginseng sources, aren't there? I'm quite wealthy now and can buy you lots of ginseng. But here, I'm an orphan. I'm not exactly destitute, but I'm just barely getting by. Where am I supposed to get the money to buy you ginseng?"

"If I were to earn the money here to buy it for you, it would take a very long time."

It wasn't that Yu Jiu found it troublesome; after all, the little jade bowl had helped her a lot before. If it weren't for it, she didn't know what kind of hard life she would have had. The little jade bowl was her precious bowl!

It's only right to repay it; I won't find it troublesome.

because····

Watching Xiaoyuwan struggle to write the character "因" (yin) under the paper again, Yujiu couldn't help but remind it.

"You don't need to write 'because,' just write the main points. You're writing too slowly, aren't you tired?"

Just like eating ginseng, it directly writes the two characters for "life," and Yu Jiu can basically understand it. After all, the two have been together for so long, so they have a lot of tacit understanding.

But the little jade bowl refused to stop. It stubbornly continued writing, insisting on writing out the word "because" as well, before finally writing the rest with trembling steps.

However, it had already filled a sheet of paper the size of a table with very large characters, and then it urged Yu Jiu to turn it over and continue writing.

Yu Jiu then dutifully turned the pages for it.

Then, Xiaoyuwan wrote several more words shakily before stopping.

Because it needs to upgrade this place.

Upgrade here?

The character is correct, but Yu Jiu can't quite understand it. It is known that this is a virtual world.

Wow, so this world was copied from Xiaoyuwan's world? No wonder she and Xu Zijiang have the same body here!

So it really was something it did itself!

"But eating ginseng can level up? What kind of leveling up? Bigger? Or more people? Does it turn them all into real people?"

Yu Jiu doesn't understand.

"Where can we find that ginseng?"

Yu Jiu asked it again, because it still hadn't explained how to get the ginseng. Since this was a virtual world it had created, how could there be ginseng that it couldn't find and that she needed to buy?

Those who escaped were all ginseng.

Xiao Yuwan then wrote these words.

Yu Jiu pondered these words carefully. Were they all ginseng for those who had fled?

Ginseng can escape; who is the ginseng that escaped?

Does this mean that everyone here is a fugitive, transformed from ginseng?!
