Chapter 37: Plant Spirit Tool, Superior Quality
Let’s turn back time to five days ago.
After Jiang Ning sent out the package, the logistics platform delivered it to Jin Jiu’s home according to the address on the order.
Jin Jiu inexplicably received a package. Just as he was about to call and question the logistics company, he glanced at the recipient’s name on the package and suddenly put down his Star Brain.
He opened the package, and inside was a pot of sunflowers still covered in mud and dew.
An inexplicable sense of dark satisfaction arose in Jin Jiu’s heart.
Family? My ex-girlfriend sent me something after we broke up, and it’s even flowers. If this isn’t her still having feelings for me, what is it! I ask you, what is it!
Jin Jiu went crazy in his room for a while.
What was the flower language of sunflowers again?
Silent love.
She must still love him, but her pride prevented her from saying it, so she wanted to tell him this way.
It must be like that.
Jin Jiu started a live stream that night, and he even deliberately placed the sunflowers in the background.
The great internet celebrity A Jin, who had been on hiatus for three months, returned to the public eye and quickly attracted a large number of fans to come and watch.
In the live stream, Jin Jiu did not explain or respond to his disappearance for the past three months, but had been seriously commentating on the game screen.
Halfway through the live stream, sharp-eyed fans finally noticed that Jin Jiu’s live stream background was a bit different today.
Jin Jiu glanced at that comment. He took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, which allowed the audience to see more clearly.
When he returned, the audience in the bullet comments all turned into Sherlock Holmes, guessing that Jin Jiu had deliberately used a sunflower as a live stream background. He must be in love!
Jin Jiu saw that the fans’ speculations were getting further and further off track, but he did not explain.
In a stream of bullet comments discussing Jin Jiu’s peacock-like display, someone suddenly sent a message: “spirit tool.”
A sentence without a beginning or an end was quickly pushed down by the rapidly popping up messages, and even Jin Jiu didn’t pay attention.
Seeing that his message had sunk like a stone into the sea, the person immediately sent another one, “Where did the streamer buy it? A plant spirit tool, superior quality.”
This time, it finally attracted some attention.
“What is the person upstairs talking about? Where is the spirit tool?”
“There’s a spirit tool? Hiss! I haven’t seen the world. Let me see first!”
For the active netizens on the StarNet, spirit tools were still the hottest topic.
As the term ‘spirit tool’ was brought up, many netizens from the formation system said that they had seen the psychic energy flowing on the sunflower.
“I thought I saw it wrong, but it turns out everyone saw it.”
“Such a huge amount of psychic energy is rarely seen on any spirit tool, let alone a natural spirit tool engraved into a plant. Its creator must be a top-tier formation system ability user.”
“Oh my god, I’ve seen the work of a living formation master!”
“I was just saying why A Jin was showing us a pot of flowers. It turns out it wasn’t some official announcement signal, but a way of showing off his wealth. I was too shallow.”
A low-grade spirit tool sold for between 6,000 and 15,000 star coins, not to mention that this was a natural spirit tool from the hands of a top-tier formation master. So the price of this pot of sunflowers must be unimaginable to them.
At this moment, Jin Jiu had no mind to pay attention to the off-topic discussions in the bullet comments. He carefully felt the psychic energy in his body, and it seemed to have loosened a bit compared to before.
His gaze couldn’t help but turn to the sunflower behind him.
If the sunflower was really a natural spirit tool as the bullet comments said, then it couldn’t have been sent to him by Chang Rong.
It was highly likely that Chang Rong had accidentally filled in the wrong delivery address.
Could he have really misunderstood her intentions?
Jin Jiu shook his head.
Impossible.
How could a spirit tool engraved by a spirit tool formation master of this level be sold online?
Jin Jiu put up a public live stream notice and left for a while.
He walked to the trash can in the living room, took out the packaging box, and carefully identified the sender’s address on it.
Changfeng Shopping Mall, Sunflower Sea.
He opened the Changfeng shopping website and searched for this shop name.
There was only one product listed in the shop, priced at 999 star coins.
Would a top-tier spirit tool only sell for so little?
Which master would be so short of money!
The heart that had been hanging in Jin Jiu’s throat finally settled in his stomach.
He returned to the live stream room and said to the fans, “Family, it’s a misunderstanding. This pot of sunflowers is not a spirit tool. A friend of mine bought it from a shop called Sunflower Sea in Changfeng, for only 999 star coins a pot. The flower shape is unique, and the price is beautiful. Friends who like it can go and place an order themselves.”
It was his words that had brought a lot of traffic to Jiang Ning’s shop. The fans who had watched A Jin’s live stream that night all went to Changfeng to search for this shop.
There were even fans who placed an order with the mentality of buying a lottery ticket.
This was what had led to the subsequent events that happened to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning and Chang Ming, who had watched the entire live stream replay: “…”
The two silently looked at each other.
Chang Ming’s gaze shifted to the window. “Is that sunflower of yours a spirit tool?”
He had originally come to see how that fellow Jin Jiu would handle the package his sister had sent by mistake.
He hadn’t expected…
Jiang Ning: “I guess so.”
Chang Ming: “?”
Chang Ming: “What do you mean ‘I guess so’? It either is or it isn’t.”
“I only found out last night that my sunflowers can increase psychic energy. As for how much they can increase it, and how much psychic energy the sunflowers themselves contain, I’m not clear yet,” Jiang Ning said.
Chang Ming pondered for a moment. “As far as I know, among the formation masters in the Federation, only a few can engrave psychic energy into other objects, but without exception, they are at least SS-rank or higher ability users. To be able to use formation engraving, your psychic energy should also be close to SS-rank.”
Chang Ming looked at Jiang Ning in surprise. He hadn’t expected that a temporary worker he had casually hired would have such high psychic energy.
No wonder her attitude was so fearless on the first day.
Jiang Ning thought that Chang Ming was once again treating her as a formation system ability user.
She explained, “But my ability is plant-based?”
“Huh?!” Chang Ming was petrified for a moment. He stared blankly at Jiang Ning.
“Didn’t I tell you? I summoned those sunflowers,” Jiang Ning sighed.
She didn’t understand why everyone treated her as a different system ability user. Was their plant system really so unimpressive?
Chang Ming gasped.
A plant-based user had crossed over to the field of spirit tool manufacturing.
Jiang Ning was really a damn freak!
On the other side, on the capital planet.
In the days after the live stream, Jin Jiu’s stagnant psychic energy had actually increased a little.
He was an A-rank ability user.
One had to know that the higher the rank of psychic energy, the more psychic energy was needed to improve it. This was why it was often said online that spirit tools were useless for high-rank ability users.
Because the effect of spirit tools on them was too small. Compared to the psychic energy required for improvement, the effect of these spirit tools was negligible.
And now his psychic energy had actually increased!
Jin Jiu looked at the sunflower with an incredulous expression.
If he had a few more plants, could his psychic energy be raised to S-rank?
Jin Jiu opened the Changfeng shopping mall and searched for that shop again, but he was told that the sunflowers had been taken down.
