Chapter 48: The topic of age
After reading the coded information in the optical brain again, Huo Sijun's expression became bloodthirsty and dangerous.
“…”
Nanchi flew all the way down the mountain and did not return to the camp immediately. Instead, he went to the next hill in the moonlight.
No one can stop her from going mining tonight...
Half an hour later.
Nan Chi looked at the ten groups of black stones in his backpack and found a stone to sit on with great interest!
Pulling out the transparent game panel, she rubbed her hands together. "Ten sets (99 yuan each) look about right. Time to test my luck!"
"Exchange! Exchange! Exchange... Shit!"
Ten sets, that's thousands of pieces of stone, but nothing was exchanged for!
——There’s really nothing useful!
Not to mention the magical weapons and props she imagined, even the physical enhancement pills that are common in the game to increase physical strength are not available!
"I just don't believe it!" Nan Chi stood up with red eyes and looked at the Black Stone Mountain not far away.
Yes, the black stones at the foot of the mountain all come from here, and this mountain top is a black stone mine.
Nan Chi jumped to the middle of the mountain, and with all his strength, he slapped a piece of the mountain wall with one palm.
"Buzz..."
On the smooth stone wall at the fingertips, spider-web-like cracks continued to appear with Nanchi's palm as the center. Nanchi slapped the stone again, shattering it.
In an instant, the stone disappeared from her palm and was put into her backpack. She said angrily, "I don't believe it! I put half of the mine in one night and I can't exchange it for anything good!"
Huo Jiu's words just now gave her an unprecedented sense of oppression.
This system can exchange things, although it is random, but it is better to bet on a one in a thousand or one in ten thousand chance of getting a good thing to save your life than to wait for death without any preparation.
In this way, Nan Chi mined stones for half the night. At three o'clock in the morning, his internal energy was finally exhausted, and he reluctantly returned to the camp.
Nan Chi's figure was like a wisp of green smoke, returning silently to his hammock.
Glancing at Yue Long's empty hammock next door, Huo Jiu didn't know why she was so confident that the bandits wouldn't do anything bad to Yue Long, but she still hoped that the kind girl would be fine!
Soon the men who were guarding the mountain top came down. Nan Chi's eyes moved, it turned out that it was time for a shift change.
I took a quick look at Huo Jiu's hammock and found that it was also empty. Could it be that this guy never came back?
Where did you go?
Although Nan Chi was very curious, thinking that there might be a tough battle to fight tomorrow, he suppressed his curiosity about Huo Jiu and forced himself to close his eyes.
“…”
Early in the morning, when Nan Chi woke up yawning, he saw Huo Jiu sitting by the fire eating the meat grilled by Matthew and the others.
Then again, someone like Huo Jiu should have a lot of nutritional supplements in his backpack, but ever since Nan Chi unlocked the seasonings for various foods, this guy seems to have never eaten anything like nutritional supplements.
"You got up late!" Huo Jiu looked at Nan Chi's unkempt appearance after waking up, feeling a little disgusted.
Nan Chi paused with his hand covering his mouth, blinked his eyes, and accidentally let the saline solution forced out by yawning slide onto his face.
The look of disgust on the man's face was undoubtedly even more pronounced. "You're not going to make it in the military with a lazy attitude like that!"
"I don't even think about joining the army!" Nan Chi felt that Huo Jiu was too self-righteous. Where had she sent him any signal that she wanted to join the military these days?
But she didn't want to argue with him. "Do you still need to go out and find someone today? I think I can do it!"
"No need!" Huo Jiu ate the meat slowly without looking up. "Did your attack yesterday cause any damage to those monsters?"
Nan Chi: "...You were there yesterday, didn't you see it?"
"Tell me about it in detail." Huo Jiu tapped his knees with his slender fingers and spoke in a slightly firm tone.
Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, Nan Chi didn't care about his attitude. He slowly sat aside and recounted the details of yesterday's battle.
Finally, she didn't forget to express her opinion, "As for what kind of spiritual entity you mentioned, it seems to me to be tangible. It's much easier to deal with than those invisible things on our planet!"
"Tangible?" Huo Jiu pondered, "You mean you've seen intangible things? No! Intangible spiritual beings?"
"I...my teacher has seen it." Nan Chi looked up at the sky, as if she was trying to avoid the topic. She asked hesitantly, "Can the outside world still see us now? Can they hear our conversation?"
"No." Huo Jiu was a little confused when he saw Nan Chi's taboo look, but he did become interested in the teacher she mentioned.
"Your teacher..."
"He's dead!" Nan Chi said lightly.
Huo Jiu shut up, but his deep eyes still looked at Nan Chi.
"In my hometown, respecting teachers is the most basic principle of being a human being. I will not use the life and death of my teacher as a shield." Nan Chi glanced at him with unfriendly eyes.
Huo Jiu looked away. "I've noticed that your planet's cultivation system is quite complete. Can I learn from it? Or, can you introduce your cultivation methods to the military academy?"
Huo Jiu's words made those around him who were pretending to do something but were actually eavesdropping forget what they were going to do.
The First Legion, the youngest major general in the Federation, the most gifted disciple in ancient studies, actually praised the cultivation method of an inferior planet in an admiring tone!
And what about Nan Chi? Hearing Huo Jiu praising the excellence of his hometown's cultivation methods, he actually nodded proudly, as if to say, "You're a connoisseur."
However, the look she gave Huo Jiu gradually became critical, "Speaking of cultivation, you're definitely not up to the task."
Huo Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Is it because of lack of talent or aptitude?"
"Neither, but you are too old and not suitable!"
"Ahem!" Lillian was eating meat. When she heard this, she accidentally swallowed a large piece of meat, which got stuck in her throat and made her roll her eyes.
But her finger still trembled as she pointed at Nan Chi.
Matthew on the side hurriedly handed her water and patted her back.
"Do you know that in our galaxy, Brother Jiu's age is still very young!" After Lillian caught her breath, she roared at Nan Chi in grief and anger.
Nan Chi just shrugged, "It has nothing to do with age. His skeleton has already been formed..."
The new teammates around him were in much the same situation. Although they were not doing anything, one could imagine the shock in their hearts by looking at the stunned expressions on their faces.
"Old? Are you talking about me?" Huo Jiu's expression was very strange, at least that kind of strangeness had never appeared on his cold face before.
"That's right! It's difficult for someone like you whose bones have already been shaped to achieve success in learning." Nan Chi nodded and repeated what the old Taoist priest had said before.
Ancient martial arts and mental skills require a long period of time to master. Only the protagonists of novels can achieve success overnight.
Of course, Nan Chi now inexplicably possesses a lot of skills, but she doesn't think this is a surprise.
Because, if the magnetic field of Telan Star is suitable for cultivation, it is not surprising that she can achieve such success with her talent.
It is also possible that, as the old Taoist priest said, relying on his own impressive talent and hard work, he has already entered the innate realm!
Huo Jiu looked at Nan Chi thoughtfully, "Then tell me, what conditions are needed to cultivate to your level?"
"Me?" Nan Chi smiled and suddenly understood what Huo Jiu wanted to ask.
