Chapter 12: The Return
Chapter 12: The Return
Bidding farewell to the master abbot and a group of Shaolin monks, Xiao Yechen left the mainland with the medicinal materials collected in the past two years. Although there are not many medicinal materials, and there is not a small box, if someone who knows the goods sees it, they will definitely exclaim.
Because the medicinal materials in this are all eighty or ninety years old, most of them are hundreds of years old. What a hundred years of life, a hundred years of yellow essence, etc., there are quite a lot of them.
In addition to these, there is also a 500-year-old snow lotus. This snow lotus was picked up from the bottom of a merchant who sold medicinal herbs, and this one alone cost Xiao Yechen more than half of the money spent on medicinal herbs. Although the price is not low, in Xiao Yechen's view, the money is well spent.
After all, this money can only be used in this world, and bringing it back to reality is just a pile of waste paper.
Back in Hong Kong, Xiao Yechen took over a batch of antique jewelry from Simao, which was worth about 200 million Hong Kong dollars. These treasures were all bought according to Xiao Yechen's requirements, the volume is not large, and they can be loaded in a suitcase with medicinal herbs.
After packing up everything, Xiao Yechen put down everything and concentrated on staying by Xiao's father and mother's side, occasionally going out to gather with Simao and the two, and the days were relaxed and leisurely.
Half a month later, Xiao Yechen came to Tie Ying's house again with a mask, and at the first glance of the two, Xiao Yechen said: "The three-year period has arrived, now, you pack up and prepare to leave Hong Kong immediately!" Don't come back for at least three years! ”
After speaking, he took out a check from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is a check for 3 million as compensation for your departure from Hong Kong!" ”
After taking the check, Father Eagle nodded, his face a little complicated. Perhaps, he doesn't want to leave Hong Kong, after all, he has been here for decades, and no matter how he says it, he will have some feelings. However, in the past two years, Xiao Yechen has come to knock and beat the two of them every time he returns to Hong Kong, and the two of them also know Xiao Yechen's horror.
Seeing that Father Eagle agreed, Xiao Yechen said again: "Leave within 3 days, don't let me do it!" With that, he turned and left.
Two days later, Xiao Yechen was having dinner with Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, when suddenly, the system prompted:
"Ding, host mission accomplished! Do you want to return immediately? ”
With a move in my heart, it seems that the Iron Eagle father and son have left Hong Kong! Xiao Yechen said secretly: "What will happen if you don't return immediately?" ”
"Ding, the host can stay in the mission world for another three days, and as soon as the three-day period expires, the host will be forced to return."
"Can I return at any time during these three days?"
"Ding, yes! Does the host return immediately? The mechanical voice asked again.
"No!" Xiao Yechen directly refused, anyway, he could go back at any time, and he was not in a hurry at this time.
After eating with the two elders and chatting for a while, Xiao Yechen returned to the room, took out a letter and a check from the drawer and put them on the table.
After changing into clothes close to modern times and carrying the box, Xiao Yechen said silently in his heart: "System, send me back!" Immediately, a white flash flashed, and Xiao Yechen disappeared into the room.
In the living room, Xiao's mother was chatting with Xiao's father, and suddenly she covered her chest: "Husband, why do I suddenly feel so painful in my heart, I feel as if I have lost something precious!" ”
"Oh! Is it? How can I feel this way too! Father Xiao frowned and said suspiciously.
The feeling of loss has been echoing in the hearts of the two, but they have never been able to figure out what is going on!
……
Xiao Yechen disappeared from the room, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and there was a sense of weightlessness in his body, and after a while, he appeared in a white boundless void. In front of Xiao Yechen, there was a crystal ball the size of a head that exuded a colorful halo.
"System? Are you there? Inexplicably appearing in a strange space, Xiao Yechen was very puzzled and hurriedly called the system.
"Ding, what's the matter with the host?"
"What is this place, and how did I end up here?" Hearing the system's reply, Xiao Yechen hurriedly asked.
"Ding, this is the internal space of the system. Every time the host completes a quest, they enter the place and perform a plunder ritual! ”
The system's answer made Xiao Yechen raise his eyebrows, "What is the plundering ceremony?!" ”
"Ding, the plundering ritual is that after the host completes the task, the system spontaneously loots an item in the mission world to reward the host."
Oh? And this kind of good thing! Xiao Yechen instantly lifted his spirit and asked, "Then can I perform that plundering ritual now?" ”
"Ding, yes, host!"
"So what are you waiting for, let's get started!"
"Ding, please put your hand on the predatory heart in front of you!"
Predatory heart? Is this the crystal ball? Xiao Yechen was a little puzzled, stretched out his right hand, and stuck it on the colorful ball.
"Huh?!" Xiao Yechen only felt that his whole body was numb, and the "Predatory Heart" in front of him spewed out a pillar of colorful light that shot straight into the sky, and after a long time, the pillar of light disappeared, and the system's prompt sounded:
"Ding, congratulations to the host, plundering from the world of the Whirlwind Kid to a dimension.
Space size: 2 cubic meters
Performance: Collects all non-living items no larger than the volume of space. ”
"Isn't this just storage?" Xiao Yechen was overjoyed, with this storage space, whether it is entering other worlds or traveling at home in the future, it can bring great convenience!
Xiao Yechen was happy, and the system's prompt sounded again:
"Ding, the host can only stay in the system space for 1 hour, and when the time is up, the host will be expelled!"
"Test, such a dick, it's not stupid!" Xiao Yechen, who was in a good mood, complained, and then chose to leave. Immediately, the whole person was wrapped in a white light and disappeared into space.
......
"Oops! How did I forget that cold pool! Xiao Yechen, who had just been wrapped in white light, suddenly remembered the cold pool he had jumped into before, and his heart tightened, that kind of temperature was not something he could bear!
The white light disappeared, Xiao Yechen fell into the water, he subconsciously struggled, but found that the water around him was not as cold as before, just cooler.
After stabilizing his mind, Xiao Yechen's mind moved, put the box into the space, and then swam hard, and it surfaced after a while.
Climbing ashore, Xiao Yechen found that at this time, it was evening, and half of the sun in the sky had already set into the mountain. After looking around to find out the direction, Xiao Yechen went down the mountain in wet clothes.
On the way, Xiao Yechen asked the system in his heart: "System!" Why did the water in that pool rise so hot? ”
"Ding, the system has been absorbing energy in order to maintain its basic functions, causing the water temperature to drop; After the system binds to the host, it no longer absorbs energy, so the water temperature returns to normal. ”
"I see!" Xiao Yechen understood, and immediately asked, "How long has the real world passed during my mission?" ”
"Ding! Every time a host is on a mission, no matter how long they spend in the mission world, only three days will pass in the host's world. ””
"Three days? OK! Xiao Yechen's face was relieved, he was really afraid that more than three years had passed since the reality! If that were the case, he was afraid that his parents had already reported his disappearance, and he didn't know how to explain it.
On the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yechen took a taxi and returned to the apartment where he lived. After taking money from home to pay the fare, taking a shower and changing into wet clothes, Xiao Yechen lay on the bed and fell into deep thought.
