Chapter 297 Who is worse, who is more unlucky?
"Come on, come on, come inside. Why are you standing at the door?" Gu Tang didn't understand what was wrong with him, so he walked up to him and pulled him to the table.
Then she pointed to the row of palm-sized, colorful boxes on the table and said, "Open them one by one."
"Ah?" Gu Ping'an, who had no idea how many things he had expected, was stunned.
He looked at the row of boxes in confusion.
Open the box?
His second sister called him in and asked him to open the box?
Gu Pingan asked cautiously: "Is there anything in these boxes?"
For example, mice and insects, which are used to deliberately scare people.
Gu Tang understood what he meant and glared at him: "What are you imagining? I don't have time to tease you!"
Gu Pingan: ...Aren’t you just teasing me?
"Hurry up!" Gu Tang urged impatiently.
Gu Ping'an's skin tightened and he reached out to take the box, but was stopped by Gu Tang.
"Go wash your hands first, then light three incense sticks to worship the gods in heaven."
Gu Pingan: ...
Gu Tang pointed to the basin rack, on which was a wooden basin filled with warm water, and asked him to wash his hands.
After Gu Ping'an washed his hands, Gu Tang took him into the inner room, lit three incense sticks, and asked him to worship in front of the shrine with many notes pasted on it.
Gu Ping'an walked forward curiously to take a look and was instantly stunned.
On the small shrine, there are dozens of well-known Taoist gods, such as the Jade Emperor, Buddha Tathagata, Queen Mother of the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Three Stars of Fortune, Longevity and Happiness, as well as various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
These dozens of big men from Taoism and Buddhism were crowded together, and the front and back of the shrine were all covered with stickers, some even had double layers!
Gu Ping'an didn't understand this operation and didn't know what it was used for.
"Second sister, what are you doing..."
"Pray to Buddha and gods!" Gu Tang looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
The bottom layer is of Western gods, such as Jesus, Mary, Zeus and Apollo. She pasted all the gods she could think of on it.
"After all, these gods and Buddhas all have different paths to the same destination, so they can just occupy the same shrine. Hurry up and worship them, then open the box."
Gu Ping'an stood there stupidly, staring blankly at the shrine, truly in awe!
In this world, I guess only his second sister would do such a thing!
"Second sister...if you pray like this, will it work?"
"Spirit? Bullshit!" Gu Tang cursed, then sighed, "I just want some comfort in my heart."
Gu Ping'an: "...You should be thankful it didn't work. If it did, you, the first one to suffer, would be Second Sister."
Gu Tang: …???
Holding the incense high, Gu Ping'an bowed devoutly to the Buddhist shrine, and kept praying to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, asking them not to blame his second sister if they really had spirits.
His second sister is just... just a little lazy and wants to be convenient!
After bowing three times, he inserted the incense into the incense burner, then followed Gu Tang back to the outer room to open the box.
The five boxes were of different colors, about the size of a palm, and had extremely delicate workmanship on the surface. I don't know where his second sister got them from.
I picked up a box and opened it, only to find it was empty.
"It's empty." Gu Ping'an handed the box to Gu Tang and asked her to look at it.
Gu Tang's mind was ringing with the system broadcast -
[Congratulations to the host for opening the Herbal Medicine Preparation Skills Gift Pack, and randomly gaining a medicine-making skill.]
The blind box that Gu Ping'an opened was a skill blind box.
Gu Tang laughed and told Gu Pingan to continue driving: "Don't worry about whether it's empty or not, just keep driving!"
Gu Ping'an put down the empty box in his hand and opened the remaining four boxes in one breath. Then he was surprised to find that these boxes were all empty.
What is going on?
What should he open with an empty box?
At this moment, Gu Tang was immersed in the system broadcast——
[Congratulations to the host for opening the daily necessities gift pack! You will receive three daily necessities at random.]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the Life Supplies (PLUS) gift pack! You will receive six random life items (endless supply version).]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the World Spice Gift Pack, and get ten spices randomly]
[Congratulations to the host for opening the Winter Arrival gift pack! You will randomly receive two cold-weather items (Endless Supply Edition).]
After all the gift boxes were opened, the system announcement was also completed.
The smile on Gu Tang's face was gone, and he looked weird instead.
Putting aside other things, just looking at the number and variety of prizes given out, I definitely beat Gu Ping'an.
Now it depends on what the rewards are. If the rewards are not good, she will definitely be furious!
"Second sister?" Gu Ping'an felt uneasy when he saw that the smile on her face had disappeared.
He pointed to the empty boxes on the table and asked cautiously, "Were you tricked into buying these?"
Hearing this, Gu Tang came back to his senses: "What are you imagining? I was just teasing you!"
Gu Pingan: …???
"Okay, this is none of your business, you can go!" Gu Tang waved at him, signaling him to go out quickly.
Gu Pingan:……!!!
Staring at Gu Tang with an accusing look, Gu Ping'an turned and left angrily!
He was so angry!
I was cheated by my second sister again!
As soon as Gu Ping'an left, Gu Tang hurriedly closed the door and put the empty boxes on the table back into the system backpack. The system would recycle these empty boxes.
Clear the table and start checking the rewards given by the system.
The first is pharmaceutical skills.
Gu Tang took a look at the skill in his backpack, which was the skill of refining black poison.
Aconitum? Could it be Aconitum?
Never mind, let’s put on the skills first.
Click "Use" and the black poison extraction skill will be instantly integrated into your body.
Immediately afterwards, pictures of toxin extraction flashed through Gu Tang’s mind.
She guessed correctly that black poison was extracted from Aconitum. The picture in her mind showed several methods of extracting black poison, some using high technology and some using the most primitive methods, ensuring that the host could extract black poison from materials anywhere.
The most important thing is that the toxicity of the black poison extracted using this skill is about twice that of the black poison extracted normally. Just a tiny bit can be fatal!
A gleam of light flashed in Gu Tang's eyes. What a good skill!
Next are two daily necessities gift packs. Although both are daily necessities gift packs, one is a normal gift pack and the other is a PLUS version gift pack.
In terms of the quantity and quality of the items opened, the latter is better. Just for the four words "inexhaustible", this PLUS version gift pack is definitely a must-have!
Gu Tang first checked the gift package of daily necessities with normal attributes. The three rewards were: one ton of rice, one ton of wheat, and one ton of soybeans.
These three kinds of food were all grains, which surprised Gu Tang very much.
One ton is 2,000 kilograms, which is a considerable amount.
Especially wheat, I wonder if it can germinate if it is sown on the ground?
If it can germinate, these two thousand kilograms can be used as grain seeds.
In modern society, the excellent varieties hybridized will degrade the quality of the grains if they are repeatedly sown, leading to pests and diseases and reduced yields.
But she was not afraid. This was ancient times, and the wheat yield per acre was generally over 100 kilograms. Even if the yield of the improved wheat varieties in modern society was lower, it was still several times higher than the original wheat varieties in ancient times!
There are also soybeans, which can also be used as seeds!
The more Gu Tang thought about it, the happier he became. He grabbed a handful of wheat and soybeans, and later found a plate to soak them in water. He would then put them in the house to see if they could sprout.
The room is warm and should be able to meet the germination temperature of wheat and soybeans.
After seeing the normal gift pack of daily necessities, Gu Tang's expectations for the PLUS version of the gift pack suddenly increased.
There are six types of PLUS version of daily necessities gift packs, which are divided into two categories. One category is food: a barrel of blended oil (inexhaustible), a bag of sea salt (inexhaustible), a barrel of soy sauce (inexhaustible), and a barrel of aged vinegar (inexhaustible).
There is another type of things that are used: a bag of toothpaste (endless), a bag of soap powder (endless).
Gu Tang didn't remember anything about the string of items. She only remembered four words: "endless".
With these four words, this gift package is worth a lot!
Even if it only produces a bucket of water, as long as it has the four words "inexhaustible", you can make a fortune by selling water!
Gu Tang was very satisfied with everything that came out of the three gift packages in a row. But when she couldn't wait to open the fourth gift package, she was suddenly poured a bucket of cold water.
The fourth gift pack is the spice pack, and it has a pretty catchy name: World Spice Gift Pack.
The number of items opened is also quite good, a total of ten types!
But when I clicked on it, the sky fell: cloves, sandalwood, osmanthus, lemongrass... and other ten very common and cheap spices. Any spice shop in Bei'an City can stock all ten of them!
Finally, she opened the blind box and found it...
Gu Tang sighed and accepted the reality.
There is only one gift pack left: the Winter Reward Pack.
This gift package made Gu Tang proud again.
There is no other reason, there are also four words behind this gift package: "Endless".
The Cold Winter Reward Pack contains two items: cotton wool (endless supply) and charcoal (endless supply).
The cotton wool rewarded by the system is made of cotton, not kapok. The charcoal is also smokeless charcoal, both of which are indispensable for keeping warm in the cold winter.
After checking out all the gift package rewards, Gu Tang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Overall, this box opening was extremely successful!
And as the biggest contributor to this box opening, Gu Ping'an should be rewarded!
Gu Tang clicked on the lottery, waited for her to use up the ten consecutive draws, and then went out to find Gu Ping'an.
Probably because of the ten consecutive draws, the system's lottery wheel looks a lot more gorgeous this time.
Click Start and the pointer will start spinning quickly.
Gu Tang clasped his hands together nervously: "Gods and Buddhas! Bless me with good luck! If I am lucky once, I will definitely find a few more shrines and separate you all..."
Soon, the pointer on the turntable stopped moving, and then the system panel was filled with fireworks.
Seeing the fireworks, Gu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled like a flower.
Fireworks will only be set off if she draws something. Judging from the number of fireworks, she must be lucky this time!
But when the fireworks faded, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
The system announcement also sounded at this time——
[Congratulations to the host for winning the following lottery prizes: a bundle of firewood, a bag of rice, a barrel of oil, a bag of salt, a barrel of soy sauce, a barrel of aged vinegar, a barrel of cooking wine, a bag of green tea, a set of seasonings, and a large bag of assorted mushrooms.]
Gu Tang was stunned: "...Good! Very good! Deities and Buddhas, your shrines are gone! Keep huddling together!!!"
What the hell is this?!
The daily necessities of life come again!
When I drew the lottery before, even the worst time was better than today!
I don’t expect this luck to go up, but it can’t go down so much either!
Rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, plus cooking wine, seasonings and mushrooms!
This is even more complete than the Life Gift Pack PLUS version!
The thing is, this is a lottery!
This was the first time she had won such a prize!
Taking a deep breath, Gu Tang kept comforting himself, it's okay, although the reward is not good, but maybe the number will increase.
Take that bundle of firewood for example. It can’t really be just a bundle of firewood, right?
Even if the supply wasn't endless, it would still be a huge bundle! Big enough to burn for the entire winter.
Gu Tang took out the bundle of firewood with great anticipation, but his anticipation disappeared in an instant.
A bundle of firewood that she could hug.
Gu Tang: …………
After staring at the firewood for a while, she still refused to give up. She pulled out a few pieces of firewood and put them in the stove. She took the rest to Gu Ping'an's room and stuffed a few more pieces into the stove.
In the end, there were only about four or five pieces of firewood left. Gu Tang took them to the main room and, ignoring the surprised expressions of Uncle Sansan and others, stuffed the last four or five pieces of firewood into the stove.
After the firewood was distributed, Gu Tang returned to the west wing like a gust of wind and waited for the firewood to refresh.
It turned out that she was overthinking it!
The system backpack has not been refreshed.
In other words, it is really just a bundle of firewood, not inexhaustible, nor constantly refreshed.
Nothing.
It's just an ordinary bundle of firewood.
Gu Tang was so angry!
Today's luck was comparable to signing in at a bank! She really couldn't understand why it suddenly plummeted.
"Second sister?"
Gu Ping'an followed from the main hall.
Although he was angry and left just now, he still followed her out of concern.
Seeing that Gu Tang looked like he had lost all hope in life, he hurried into the house and asked what had happened.
"You were fine just now, smiling like a flower, why do you look like a wilted eggplant now?"
"You are like a wilted eggplant." Gu Tang, immersed in "sorrow", still did not forget to quarrel with others.
"Then tell me, what happened to you?"
"Nothing... I'm just sleepy." Gu Tang found a very half-hearted excuse, and now he was too lazy to even give a perfunctory answer.
Gu Ping'an naturally didn't believe this.
He wanted to say something else, but was driven out by Gu Tang again.
Gu Pingan: ...He shouldn't have come here!
Not long after Gu Ping'an left, Agou came over stealthily and knocked on the door.
Gu Tang opened the door and let him in. A light bulb went off in his head and he figured it out instantly.
Could this be related to the fact that Ah Gou shared her luck?!
Gu Tang took out all the items won in the lottery and placed them on the table.
At first, Agou didn't understand what she was doing. He silently counted the things on the table and then thought about the firewood.
He seemed to understand...
"Is this the prize you won in the lottery?"
"That's right! This is the reward I got from my ten consecutive draws. There are nine kinds of things here, and one of them is the firewood I took to the main room."
Gu Tang pulled the corners of his mouth together, smiling with his face but not his heart.
She continued, "What do you think? We've got all the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. We've also got cooking wine, seasonings, and mushrooms. If we add a chicken, we can make a 'chicken stewed with mushrooms' dish!"
Agou: ...Are you really angry?
"It's already very good. If I drew it, I'm afraid it would be ten spaces in a row."
so what?
Is this a competition of who is worse or more unlucky?
Have I fallen to this point?!
