High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 44: Pandora’s Box and the Scenery Seen by the Martia
"Ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones are still ten thousand; just add one more."
Su Mu decided to try his luck with one more round of mysticism.
In the darkness, the Middle Grade Spirit Stones emitted a slightly dazzling white glow, rising like moonlight. The outermost part of the virtual wheel was illuminated, flickering with a bright green light, and vaguely revealing a tinge of blue.
"Could it be that the lowest level is this dazzling green? Could investing more spirit stones raise the lower limit for extracting superpowers?"
With no ti to ponder, Su Mu’s entire attention was on the rapidly spinning wheel. In the next second, a dazzling purple light flashed, illuminating the entire basent.
It was even more dazzling than when he obtained the Talent Fruit last ti, second only to the initial golden legend.
"What could it be?"
[Quality: Purple]
[Superpower: Pandora’s Surprise Magic Box (Special category), receive three Pandora Surprise Magic Boxes daily, which can be opened by consuming the corresponding spirit stones.]
[PS: Before opening, nobody knows what’s inside the magic box, surprise or disappointnt, who knows...]
Hmm?
Extracting boxes with spirit stones, then using spirit stones as keys to open them.
This trick seems sohow nostalgic, like old tis...
Three twisted purple light clusters appeared in the void. As Su Mu reached out to touch them, they transford into three small, cube-like purple boxes, from left to right.
[Consu one Spirit Stone]
[Consu ten Spirit Stones]
[Consu one hundred Spirit Stones]
"Wouldn’t say it’s expensive?"
Su Mu exhaled lightly and first opened the first box. The mont one Spirit Stone touched the purple cube...
Crack, crack.
The cube began spinning by itself, then unfolded into a purple exotic flower bud, revealing a white light cluster inside.
Su Mu reached out to touch the light cluster, and a bottle of Tier One Blood Nourishing Pill appeared in his hand.
"A bottle of Blood Nourishing Pill is worth about two hundred spirit stones. It can condition the body, so it’s not a loss to keep it for Miaomiao and Xiaoyue to use."
The second ti, Su Mu replaced the Low-grade Spirit Stone with a Middle Grade Spirit Stone.
The cube still opened, without any difference. A white light cluster appeared again in the purple flower.
Su Mu received a bag of fruits and vegetables, roughly five pounds, with vibrant colors and a pleasant fragrance. It made one’s mouth water. Su Mu casually tossed it into his space ring, planning to take it back to share with his wife and children.
"Only one box left, let’s hope for sothing good."
Su Mu still used Middle Grade Spirit Stones, not wanting to regret it later.
In the next second, the purple light flashed.
The prize was drawn!
A small fruit, the size of a green date pit, icy blue all over, and shaped like a lychee appeared in his hand.
As the fruit appeared, its information surfaced in his mind.
[Wisdom Heart Fruit: Fully effective for martial artists at the First Level and below. It can awaken wisdom and has so effect of washing marrow. Ineffective for martial artists above the Third Level.]
Wisdom Heart Fruit?!!!
Awakens wisdom and even has so effect on washing marrow!
Su Mu’s eyes lit up. Even if he ignored the mysterious-sounding effects, just the marrow washing alone made this thing exceedingly valuable. He imdiately thought of Miaomiao and Xiaoyue.
"I’ll discuss it with Miaomiao when I get back."
His wife and children were dear to him, so Su Mu couldn’t decide who should receive it on his own.
Later, Su Mu searched the web for information about the Wisdom Heart Fruit but found nothing.
"Could it be a spirit fruit not belonging to this world?"
Su Mu then rembered he now had access to the basic Martial Arts Association database. He imdiately registered his information there.
[User: Su Mu]
[Identity: Honorary Association mber (Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association)]
[Level: Fourth Level Initial Stage]
[Access: Fifth Level]
Through the database, Su Mu finally found information on the Wisdom Heart Fruit, stamped with a staggering price of fifty million Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
How much?
Fifty thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones?!!!
Su Mu’s breath quickened.
The official exchange ratio for Lower Grade, Middle Grade, and Upper Grade Spirit Stones is 100:10:1.
Fifty thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones co to five million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and even with such a high price, the Wisdom Heart Fruit remains priceless and rare.
"If the Wisdom Heart Fruit is purple, what kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure would be golden?"
"This was a big win; even if everything after is just white light, this month’s superpower was worth every one of the ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones spent."
Su Mu wasn’t greedy. He rely pondered about the golden legend without being overly hopeful.
After carefully storing the Wisdom Heart Fruit, Su Mu felt refreshed and re-entered his cultivation state.
...
"Sergeant Su Mu, thank you for your cooperation. You can now leave Shenjiang Martial Arts University, but you may not leave the Guangshen Province area for now. We hope you understand."
"I understand." Su Mu nodded, looking toward the distant space passage, "Lieutenant Lu, has anyone seen the scenery behind that space channel?"
Lieutenant Lu’s eyes flashed with a spark as Su Mu gazed at the space passage belonging to the alien race.
"The space passage verifies the identity of the passer, so it can’t be crossed by normal ans."
"Only the Martial Saints entered a millennium ago and saw the scenery over there... unless the two races start a full-scale war, no one would want that."
"Lieutenant Lu, might I ask, what will happen on this battlefield afterward?"
"In a few days, we’ll retreat, and everything will return to normal."
"Alright, thank you for the information."
On the Alien Race Battlefield, humans and the alien race maintained a delicate balance. The aliens had previously raided and bathed the human base in blood. In response, humans launched a purge operation, destroying the alien base and occupying the battlefield for nearly a month.
But everything will eventually return to normal. Both sides were very tacit, almost as if they had an agreent, with neither willing to break this balance for now.
Leaving the battlefield, Su Mu returned to his dorm to pack the luggage he had prepared a long ti ago: a sword box, a backpack, and a suitcase.
The university had been on sumr break for about ten days. Earlier, Zhou Yuan helped Little One apply as a special recruit and processed all the paperwork. Little One left early, likely hosick, having just experienced the life and death on the battlefield.
Zhao ng was spending her sumr vacation at her grandfather’s house. Her grandparents had called her several tis, saying they had raised many free-range chickens and ducks awaiting her return to enjoy.
The teacher had gone to the Governor of South China a few days ago, seemingly with so important matters to handle.
"Finally... I can go ho!"
With a longing heart, Su Mu was eager to return ho. Zhou Lei ca to see him off at the school gate, and they embraced.
"Good brother, see you when school starts. These elixirs are no use to ; they’d just expire if I kept them, so you might as well use them."
"Alright, Captain Su, then I’ll take them without reservation. When I beco an advisor, I’ll repay you double."
"Hahaha, sounds good, I’ll be waiting for your double repaynt."
Su Mu laughed heartily, recalling how Zhou Lei had once spoken of returning the Spirit Stones double.
"Safe travels!"
At Shenjiang City Airport, the weather was gloomy today, and many flights were delayed. However, Su Mu had booked through the Martial Arts Association’s special line, and due to his sergeant status, he could board on ti and even carry the sword box with him.
This world was much larger than his previous life on Blue Star. Even within Shenjiang City, it took a two-hour flight between two bases.
Linjiang Base Airport.
"Daddy, Xiaoyue missed you so much, you’re finally ho."
"Daddy missed you too."
With twin pigtails, Xiaoyue jumped into the embrace of Su Mu, who picked her up with one hand. At this mont, Xiaoyue was using her braids to tickle Su Mu, who pretended to be ticklish and laughed heartily.
After Xiaoyue, a beautiful woman in a white dress, with a graceful figure, and eyes filled with affection, approached them. There was still a hint of shyness on her face.
"Honey, welco ho."
