Chapter 21: My Eyes Are Almost Blinded!
It was just the time it took to take a bath.
When Gu Man stepped out of the bathroom, she almost got blinded by the sparkling treasures in the room!
Crystal cores! Big, shiny crystal cores!
Four boxes, a whole four big boxes!
Diamonds! Various colored fist-sized diamonds, a whole box of them!
Jade, a whole set of emperor green jade, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, headdresses, chest accessories! The rest are all various types of jade with strong yellow-green hues!
Two boxes! A whole two boxes! And there was Hetian sheep-fat jade, the best being the Bodhisattva statue, pure white and glossy, without a trace of impurity!
Two boxes!
Turquoise, top-quality turquoise, two boxes!
And various gemstones in different colors and textures, the smallest being the size of a pinky finger, the largest the size of a child’s fist, set in various pieces of jewelry, three boxes in total!
Under the reflection of these jewels, the five boxes of gold seemed less noticeable.
Gu Man went crazy on the spot.
She wanted to roll around in the jewels and jade but was afraid of damaging them.
She picked the hardest-to-break diamonds and gemstones, poured them onto the bed, and then lay on them.
She closed her eyes quietly for a moment.
When she opened her eyes, she quickly put them away.
Don’t ask, just know that while these diamonds and gems are beautiful, they are quite uncomfortable to lie on…
After her excitement slightly calmed down, she immediately grabbed her phone and sent a string of messages to Song Lufeng.
In the end, unable to resist, she took a picture of herself wearing the emperor green jade bracelet.
[Detected transmittable object: arm + bracelet, would you like to transmit?]
Gu Man’s face darkened, repeatedly tapping “No, no, no.”
“Can’t you just send a photo? The function is really incomplete! I wanted you to… forget it, I want you to be useful, if you can’t send it, then never mind.”
She felt a bit regretful.
She really wanted to say that she was very satisfied with the gift and loved it.
[The system has received the owner’s request, and is updating. Once the update is completed, only photos can be transmitted.]
Gu Man smiled.
“Send the photo.”
Once the photo was sent, Gu Man started to feel a bit more sober.
She was somewhat regretful.
Was her action too frivolous?
“Can I retract the photo?”
The reply from the phone was firm.
[Cannot.]
Gu Man: “…”
She wanted to say something to explain a few things.
But wouldn’t that make it worse?
She slapped her forehead.
She really got carried away with the joy!
This kind of thing, she couldn’t share on social media, and she certainly couldn’t share it with family or friends.
After thinking it over, the only person she could share it with was Song Lufeng.
Sigh, impulsive, so impulsive!
Hoping that Song Lufeng wouldn’t think too much of it!
Ten minutes passed.
Finally, a reply came.
“You look great wearing the bracelet.”
Gu Man read the message over and over again, more than ten times.
There shouldn’t be any problem, right?
It was purely appreciation.
But why didn’t he send a voice message?
Was he not in a convenient situation?
A question flashed across Gu Man’s mind.
However, the other party seemed open, and she no longer dwelled on the photo issue.
“You don’t need to send any more things. If I sell these jewels and jade, I might become the world’s richest person.”
“Just selling one or two pieces can supply you guys for a long time.”
The post-apocalyptic world was tough for them.
She felt uneasy about accepting so many treasures.
The reply came, still in text form.
“It’s okay, Savior, we don’t have much use for these items. In fact, food and water are much more precious!”
Gu Man frowned.
“But with so much gold and treasure, I really can’t help but worry, afraid that my safe isn’t secure!”
She expressed her frustration.
These items felt unsafe wherever she hid them.
It seemed like Song Lufeng smiled.
Then, a deep, amused voice came.
“Then, Savior, find a place, and I’ll send over a safe, fingerprint and iris recognition, not even a nuclear bomb can open it.”
Gu Man was overjoyed.
This was too considerate!
But she had one more request.
“It needs to be heavy, heavy enough that no one can steal it!”
The other side’s smile grew even wider: “Okay.”
He was easy to talk to.
Gu Man ran to the basement.
“I’m at the place, send it over.”
A black, starry-surfaced, square-shaped safe appeared in the basement.
It didn’t seem big, making Gu Man doubt it could fit all the treasures.
“It can, there’s compressed space inside, it can hold 100 times its volume.”
Futuristic technology really was amazing!
“But it doesn’t seem that heavy.”
“It’s a gravity-absorption system. Unless gravity turns into repulsion, no one can move it.”
Impressive, very impressive!
Gu Man turned into a curious baby.
“If no one can move it, how did you manage to send it?”
The reply came quickly, without hesitation, revealing his secret.
“Consider it my hidden ability.”
“Oh.”
At that moment, Gu Man didn’t understand the weight of that statement.
After the safe registered her fingerprints and iris, she eagerly began to move the jewels, diamonds, gold, and crystal cores, along with everything else, into the safe.
She looked at it again, satisfied, and closed the safe.
The stone in her heart finally dropped.
These treasures belonged to her, no one could steal them!
Even if Gu Mingren barged in, they would just be helplessly staring, nothing they could do!
It felt great, just one word: Great!
She chatted for a while longer, but it was late.
“I’m going to sleep now.”
“Mm.”
“Good night.”
“Good night, Savior.”
Gu Man went to her room, and under the comfortable energy waves of the crystal cores, she quickly fell asleep.
Her body was continuously nourished.
She slept soundly.
On the other hand, Song Lufeng couldn’t sleep.
He stared at his phone for a long time.
He pulled up a photo of the delicate green jade bracelet on her wrist.
The emperor green bracelet was very fine and smooth.
But it didn’t compare to her wrist.
After a few seconds, he quickly hid the photo, his ears turning red, spreading to his face…
Realizing that he had entertained thoughts he shouldn’t have, he felt quite annoyed.
But he couldn’t help it. He kept looking at the messages and voice notes she sent, again and again, listening to them over and over…
