Chapter 4: Gui Gui's second hand is collected; there's no worry about selling the spiritua
Zhu Que froze on the spot.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain it without seeming abrupt.
Tang Ke staggered into the room, and a strong smell of alcohol wafted into the room on the night breeze.
She's drunk!
Zhu Que's heart skipped a beat.
"Hmph... What 'invincible to alcohol'... In front of the God of Wine at No. 2 High School... hiccup! It's all trash..."
Tang Ke mumbled incoherently.
The room was dark and she didn't seem to see Zhu Que at all, as the lights were off.
Zhu Que subconsciously took two steps back and shrank to a beanbag chair in the corner.
"Snapped!"
Tang Ke closed the door behind her and staggered toward the bed, looking as if she was about to fall asleep.
Zhu Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If she had just fallen asleep, everything could have been done as if nothing had happened.
however.
Tang Ke lingered in front of the bed for a few seconds, haphazardly pulled off her shirt and then her denim shorts, but didn't get into bed at all.
next second.
She took two steps back, tilted her head back, and tumbled into the beanbag chair.
"!!!"
Zhu Que's eyes widened immediately.
now.
He was curled up next to the beanbag chair, almost touching Tang Ke.
Although the room was dimly lit, Tang Ke's graceful figure was still clearly visible; she was tall, alluring, and stunningly beautiful.
However, Zhu Que had no time to appreciate it at the moment—
Because Tang Ke was half-opening her hazy eyes, staring at him in a daze, their eyes meeting.
Oops!
It was discovered!
Zhu Que felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
"hey-hey……"
However, Tang Ke did not scream, but just chuckled twice.
"Sissi...you don't seem as cute as you used to be..."
Sissi?
Zhu Que glanced around unconsciously and saw a fluffy giant bear plush toy beside him.
What is she doing...?
Did they mistake me for a giant bear plush toy?
at this time,
Tang Ke suddenly reached out and pulled him into her arms, making a sticky, mushy sound:
"My dear Sisi...hehehe...I love sleeping while holding you..."
"?!"
Zhu Que opened his eyes even wider.
Tang Ke was dressed shabbily at the moment, clinging to him like an octopus.
Although he was surrounded by a soft, fragrant embrace, he remained as tense as a stone, not daring to make the slightest unnecessary movement.
If Tang Ke regains consciousness, given his current situation, he won't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tries.
The good news is that Tang Ke is now completely drunk.
Although he was a living person and very different from a giant bear doll, she was completely unaware and fell into a deep sleep while holding him.
Zhu Que remained motionless for several minutes, sweating profusely with tension, barely daring to breathe.
at last.
After hearing Tang Ke begin to snore softly, he tiptoed to try and break free from her embrace.
however.
The moment he moved his hands, Tang Ke, as if in a dream, suddenly tightened her arms and pulled him back into her embrace.
Then, for some unknown reason, she suddenly looked up and, without warning, kissed his lips, mumbling something in her sleep:
"Why does this candy taste so salty..."
"??!!"
Zhu Que was struck dumb, his mind went completely blank.
Although Tang Ke is very beautiful and is definitely a goddess-level figure, this moment is a hellish test.
He had no evil thoughts whatsoever, but felt extremely uncomfortable.
As a "fifth-class commoner," if this scene were witnessed by others, he wouldn't have enough lives to survive.
fortunately.
A moment later.
Tang Ke seemed to have finished her dream of "eating candy," and her movements gradually stopped, her arms loosening their grip slightly.
Zhu Que seized the opportunity, held his breath, and slowly pulled away from her embrace.
Just as he finally escaped, the analysis of the Spirit Gathering Silk was also completed.
[Analysis successful!]
[Spirit Gathering Silk: Tier 1, Cloth Item. Worn in the dantian area, it gathers spiritual energy to aid absorption.]
[Requirements for replicating: 2 Tier 1 Cloth Items, 1 Tier 1 Jade Items]
Upon seeing this, Zhu Que immediately hung the Spirit Gathering Silk back in its original position, leaving no trace.
He then quietly opened the door, made sure no one was around, and quickly left Tang Ke's room, returning to the junkyard area.
"call--"
He breathed a heavy sigh of relief, touched his lips which were a little swollen from Tang Ke's kiss, and felt a chill run down his back.
Fortunately, they weren't discovered...
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the gate in the distance opened automatically, and tons of old and broken equipment were dumped down.
Zhu Que glanced at the corner of the room hidden by the curtain, rummaged through three old and broken items that met the requirements for imitation, and entered the bathroom stall, preparing to imitate this Spirit Gathering Silk.
With a thought, the nine-square grid appeared.
Choose to imitate "Gathering Spirit Silk" and place two cloth items and one jade item into the first two slots in sequence.
Start copying!
"Buzz—"
The two spaces trembled slightly, twisted and merged, and black mist overflowed from the edge of the empty space.
A moment later, the black mist suddenly dissipated, revealing a large empty space.
Within the large empty space, a magical artifact rested quietly.
The small, palm-sized piece of cloth is adorned with a few sparkling jade stones, delicate and pink, with a faint shimmering light.
[Successfully replicated!]
[Spirit Gathering Cloth: Tier 1, Cloth Item. Worn in the dantian, it gathers spiritual energy to aid absorption.]
[Side effect: Continued use will deplete your Qi and blood.]
Zhu Que took out the "Spirit Gathering Cloth".
It feels soft and silky to the touch, almost exactly like the Spirit Gathering Silk.
He lifted his clothes and put the Spirit Gathering Cloth on his dantian.
next moment.
He immediately felt a warm current, like a gentle spring, gradually gathering in his lower abdomen.
Among them, a warm current slowly seeped into the dantian.
"This is...spiritual energy?"
Zhu Que was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise welling up in his heart.
However, he quickly calmed down.
"Although spiritual energy has been gathered, without practicing breathing techniques, most of the spiritual energy cannot be absorbed and can only be passively absorbed."
"Next, we need to figure out a breathing technique to absorb all the gathered spiritual energy."
Then.
Zhu Que examined his body and found that his current condition was extremely serious.
While learning about waste disposal at the orphanage, he frequently came into contact with corrosive pollution, which caused many deformities in his body.
There are three main distortion characteristics—
First, there's his skin; his entire body is sickly pale, making him look like he has albinism at first glance.
Secondly, there was his chest, where there was a shocking, extremely deformed funnel-shaped depression on the right side of his heart.
His chest was so deformed that it seemed as if it was sunken all the way down to his back.
Finally, his limbs atrophied, becoming skin and bones, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
"My physical deformity is a form of slow death."
"Working in a landfill, a place so severely corrosive and polluted, is tantamount to greatly accelerating the process of death..."
Zhu Que's eyes trembled, and he felt a little breathless.
For him now, there are only two paths before him—
Either cultivate immortality or die.
"call!"
Zhu Que took a deep breath, got dressed, and left the restroom.
Without hesitation, he threw the pair of unsold cloud-stepping boards directly into the No. 3 incinerator.
This thing is too conspicuous to carry around, so destroying it is undoubtedly the safest course of action.
Anyway, there are mountains of broken artifacts here, so he can easily make replicas.
After doing all this, he dragged his tired body back to his room.
After a busy day and a half-hour of intense mental work, he fell asleep almost immediately.
I slept without any dreams.
The next day, Zhu Que was woken up by Sun Zheng.
"Wake up, it's time to eat."
"Okay, okay."
Zhu Que opened his eyes and saw Sun Zheng limping away.
As soon as I got out of bed and stood up, I felt a sudden darkness before my eyes, my body swayed, and I almost fell to the ground.
"This is……"
He immediately realized the problem—
This is a side effect of the Spirit Gathering Cloth: continued use will deplete your Qi and Blood.
He slept with the spirit-gathering cloth on all night, and his vital energy was continuously depleted, so his current weakness is normal.
"To replenish qi and blood, one usually relies on nourishing the body through diet, but the food at the garbage dump can barely fill one's stomach."
"Without breathing techniques, the Spirit Gathering Cloth becomes useless. Relying solely on the permeation of spiritual energy not only results in extremely low absorption efficiency but also leads to a continuous depletion of vital energy and blood..."
With that thought in mind, Zhu Que took off the Spirit Gathering Cloth, stuffed it into his pocket, and became determined to obtain the Breathing Technique as soon as possible.
canteen.
Zhu Que had just received his breakfast and was wolfing it down when Tang Ke's door suddenly opened.
Tang Ke stretched and walked out.
She had long, flowing hair, looked youthful and beautiful, and the sunlight shone on her shoulders and neck, making her skin appear dazzlingly white.
When Zhu Que saw her, he immediately recalled what had happened last night—
In the dimly lit room, the soft, fragrant touch of her body, the soft, hazy snoring, and the mouth that had been sucked on for so long…
However, he was under immense mental tension at the time and had no evil thoughts whatsoever; he just wanted to escape that environment as quickly as possible.
Now let's think about it carefully...
"strangeness……"
Just then, Tang Ke suddenly touched her lips, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Why are my lips a little swollen?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Que immediately looked away, lowered his head and frantically ate his breakfast, using the bowl to cover his slightly swollen mouth.
"Stop having any crooked ideas."
Sun Zheng glanced at him and muttered, "This kind of young lady is not someone our social class can even dream of."
"I see……"
Although Zhu Que said that, he silently added in his heart, "See Tang Ke's lips? Those are swollen from sucking on me..."
Night was falling.
Zhu Que finished his day's work.
Despite being physically and mentally exhausted, he did not rest.
After dinner, he secretly made a pair of cloud-walking boards and left the junkyard, ready to find a way to make money.
In this rigidly hierarchical world of cultivation, you can't get anywhere without money.
Jinfeng Town.
The bustling city streets were brightly lit.
Zhu Que has a clear goal: to find a shop that buys back magical artifacts.
However, his status as a "fifth-class commoner" meant he was even lower than a stray dog, and he couldn't even get through the gate.
It looks like we'll be leaving empty-handed again tonight.
Just then.
He paused slightly in his steps.
Ahead, a small truck was parked on the side of the road, with a bright screen on its body that was playing a loop of the word "GG":
"I recently bought a new magical artifact, what should I do with the old one?"
"Find Guigui! One-click test to check the quality of your magical artifacts, automatically displaying the price in spirit coins—fair, transparent, and absolutely just!"
"Recycle secondhand items, and you'll never have to worry about selling your magical artifacts!"
