Chapter 122: Boutique
“Finally waited for you, luckily I didn’t give up…”
Seeing the prompt on the screen, a surge of ecstasy welled up in Gu Wanrong’s heart. The last ten-draw finally brought the Hetian Jade Generator to save the Tianshan Jade Mine.
“Sigh, this round of drawing has squeezed my draw points dry.”
She had originally hoped to draw some tools helpful for the gemstone mines, but ended up drawing these extra things. However, Gu Wanrong adjusted her mindset quickly. Didn’t she get what she wanted too?
“Anyway, I’ve spent the points and drew them. Maybe they’ll come in handy later,” she comforted herself.
So, she decided to study the usage of these tools first to see if she could find anything interesting. Maybe there would be a pleasant surprise.
She guessed that this Hetian Jade Generator might be similar to the previously obtained Jadeite Regenerator, capable of transforming ordinary stones into Hetian jade. Gu Wanrong quickly browsed the introduction page of the Hetian Jade Generator. Sure enough, its function was just as she thought.
[Hetian Jade Generator]
Place this device within a jade bed area capable of producing Hetian jade, adjust the range of effect, and it can cause Hetian jade to generate naturally within that range.
Note:
- The larger the range, the lower the quality of the Hetian jade; conversely, the smaller the range, the higher the quality.
- This device generates only Hetian jade.
- The amount of Hetian jade generated annually does not exceed 10% of the area’s original total output.
- This device has a service life of only 15 years.
- Equipped with anti-cracking technology and anti-loss auto-retrieval technology (500 years ahead of current technology levels).
- There is only one such device in this world at the same time.
Jade is divided into soft jade and hard jade. Hetian jade is the leader among soft jades. Domestically, there are four famous jades: Hetian jade, Turquoise, Dushan jade, and Xiuyan jade. However, the Tianshan Jade Mine Gu Wanrong owned only contained Hetian jade.
Despite this, she still felt very satisfied. Because as time passed, the output of Hetian jade was becoming scarce daily, and it enjoyed the reputation of “National Jade.” With the System, she could stably mine a certain amount and quality of Hetian jade every year. From this perspective, it was enough for Fu Pearl Treasure.
Gu Wanrong reviewed the Pearl Breeding Base and Deep Sea Pearl Farming Technology together.
The Pearl Breeding Base was domestic. Although the breeding technology wasn’t as impressive as other blind box items, it reduced water pollution during the breeding process by more than eighty percent, which shouldn’t be underestimated.
The Research Talent Detection Halo was a new category of item in the System blind box.
When Gu Wanrong wore this halo, she would receive a prompt if she encountered someone with research capabilities. However, note that this halo also had restrictions.
First, each person can only wear one halo. This means she cannot enjoy the benefits of multiple halos simultaneously and must make a choice.
Second, the halo is effective for 24 hours, but afterwards, there is a recovery time of up to 72 hours. This halo cannot be worn casually; the timing must be chosen carefully to fully utilize its effect.
However, what confused Gu Wanrong most was the third restriction: The halo only prompts for those who cannot display their talents or make a name for themselves in their lifetime. The first two restrictions were clear to Gu Wanrong, but the third seemed a bit vague.
“Regarding the third rule, if future generations justify this ‘researcher,’ will the halo still give a prompt?” Gu Wanrong couldn’t help asking.
[As long as this person cannot display their talent while alive, or their results are deliberately ignored or erased—as long as one condition is met, the Research Talent Detection Halo will take effect on them.]
Hearing this explanation, Gu Wanrong nodded thoughtfully. The existence of this halo was like Bole recognizing a fine horse, preventing a thousand-li horse from being insulted by a servant and dying in the stable without being known as a thousand-li horse.
Its appearance might allow more talents to receive due recognition and opportunities, avoiding the burial of truly talented people for various reasons.
Since this halo had a recovery time, let it stay in the System for now. She would wear it when needed.
She casually added two attribute points to Perception Ability, maxing it out. The previous improvement in Perception Ability gave Gu Wanrong an obvious sixth sense afterward, so tonight she maxed out the Perception Ability attribute without hesitation.
The Red Flag car and the Koenigsegg One:1 lay quietly in the backpack grid. Gu Wanrong gently clicked on the vehicle icon in the grid, and a selection box popped up:
[Please select parking location: [Gu Residence Garage], [Yunding Yazhu Garage], [Yunjiang Yaju Garage]]
She ignored the Yunjiang Yaju option directly. She hadn’t been back to City C in ages, and besides, she looked down on Yunjiang Yaju now.
Between the Gu Residence and Yunding Yazhu garage options, she hesitated slightly, but finally chose the Gu Residence garage.
The Hongqi L5 was a car money couldn’t necessarily buy. Only six Koenigsegg One:1s were produced globally, valued at 100 million. Gu Wanrong really wanted to see them now, immediately, right away.
The Gu Residence had two garages, above ground and underground. The ground garage was next to the gatehouse, with relatively small space accommodating only three cars, usually for daily use. In contrast, the underground garage was much larger and could park more vehicles. The sports cars transported from City J were all stored here, and the two new cars added by the System were naturally parked directly in the underground garage.
Gu Wanrong put on her coat and headed straight for the underground garage.
The first thing that caught her eye was the black and pink Koenigsegg One:1. This was the color scheme Gu Wanrong chose herself before landing it in the garage. Seeing the physical Koenigsegg One:1 with an overall black body interspersed with pink lines as decoration, Gu Wanrong sighed, “It wins my heart!”
She simply loved this black and pink scheme; it was both playful and cool, full of contrast!
Walking a bit further was the Hongqi L5.
Although this Hongqi L5 wasn’t the most expensive car in Gu Wanrong’s garage, it was absolutely the most prestigious. It represented not only quality and status but also a symbol of identity. It wasn’t something you could buy with just money; strict social background checks were required in addition to funds.
Moreover, the interior of this Hongqi car had been upgraded by the System, and the glass was replaced with bulletproof glass. The front bore one of the license plates drawn tonight: Jing A00001.
“Amazing, my System.” Gu Wanrong couldn’t help praising aloud.
Subsequently, Gu Wanrong circled the two cars a few times, liking them more the more she looked. She opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat, feeling the comfort of the seat and the luxurious decoration inside. She stepped on the gas, and the roar of the engine sounded. She drove around the garage in the middle of the night. Gu Wanrong drove, happily enjoying the pleasure of driving the two new cars.
Gu Wanrong turned off the engine, opened the door, and got out. Although she only drove briefly, she barely satisfied her craving. She definitely had to drive them on the road later.
System produced, must be a boutique product!
