Chapter 234 Special Item: The Shape-Shifting Vellum
Thinking so, Su Yang called out the system store, wanting to see what items had been refreshed in the system store this week.
Opening the system store, Su Yang took a look at this week’s refreshed items.
Random Points x1.
Guardian Talisman x 1.
Surprisingly, there was only one of each. Su Yang felt that his luck really wasn’t very good this week.
However, after counting the days to come, the lucky tiles would be available for use again next week, and by then, his luck should be good again... Right?
After looking at the first two items, Su Yang checked out the last recipe item in the store. It was a crumpled-looking brown vellum with nothing to show for it.
However, the items in the system store were always like this so Su Yang was used to it. After all, it’s good to have it for free.
Su Yang clicked on the picture of the vellum, and suddenly an interface popped up in front of him (Shape-shifting vellum).
‘Shape-shifting? Is it the vellum a druid?’
Thinking so, Su Yang clicked on the vellum paper recipe. [+1 item, a piece of vellum paper, a chair, 200g of sugar, a key...]
‘What’s all this? Why is it requesting so many unrelated items? How strange.’
Su Yang carefully listed those items and found that most of them were available at home, and a few of them were also available at the 24-hour convenience store. He asked the driver to stop at the 24-hour convenience store at the outskirts of the neighbourhood, intending to buy something back to exchange the formula items.
He referred to the system interface’s prompt, Su Yang bought everything and carried his things to his home.
Then, he ran into Qu Xuan just in time before he reached the neighborhood. Su Yang felt like he must’ve unintentionally added points to Qu Xuan, and the guy gained the “as long as Su Yang buys any formula items, he will definitely appear” ability.
‘After all! I run into him every time I buy a recipe item!’
Seeing Su Yang, Qu Xuan greeted him with a smile, showing two especially dazzlin rows of big white teeth that made Su Yang always want to knock them out. “Mr Chairman, did you just come back?”
The two were pretty close, so Su Yang responded, “Yeah, what about you? Going back to school?”
Qu Xuan shook his head and smiled even wider. “No. I’m a bit bored after dinner at my sister’s house so I’m going to go to school to claim a girlfriend.”
‘Claim... A girlfriend? Is this the era where one could ‘claim’ a girlfriend?’
Su Yang replied, “Oh oh. Really?. That’s
good.”
Qu Xuan asked, “What are you up to?”
Su Yang smiled. “Nothing much, I’ve recently become poor so I just went to the bank to collect a few million to take home.” Saying that, Su Yang lifted the bag to show him.
Qu Xuan brightened up and patted Su Yang’s shoulder. “Chairman! I’m getting more and more optimistic about you.”
Su Yang was puzzled. ‘What is there to be optimistic about him?’
After taking his leave from Qu Xuan, Su Yang returned home.
As he entered the virtual space, Su Yang took his things to the kitchen. This time, the process of making the recipe items was very simple. All he had to do was to put everything into the pressure cooker and stew them for half an hour.
Su Yang re-watched the production video in the system, and after confirming there was no problem, he clicked (Produce).
Suddenly, an ordinary, unimpressive pressure cooker appeared in front of Su Yang.
Su Yang didn’t rush to make it but went to the courtyard and began observing the eight last little monster beans left in the house.
This was a group of happy little elves with an extremely simple level of spiritual intelligence. They still didn;t know that danger was quietly approaching....
After watching them for half an hour, Su Yang finally watched one little monster bean walk and fall down!
He ran over to the little monster bean and dragged it up, trying to check if it was dying!
As a result Su Yang was very disappointed. The little monster bean was incredibly healthy and fine. Thinking that Su Yang was trying to help itself, it repeatedly cried. “Bean, bean, bean, bean!.” Su Yang looked at it. ‘One second, two seconds... Is it dizzy yet?’
Su Yang looked at it for another few seconds and wondered why it still wasn’t dizzy. ‘How can I sacrifice you if you don’t faint.’
The Little Monster Bean was puzzled.
While Su Yang was disappointed, a small monster bean suddenly appeared at his feet. ‘Eh? No. 17?’
No. 17 stood in front of Su Yang, jumped, and shouted, “Bean! Bean!”
Su Yang almost fainted. “Do you think I understand what you’re trying to say?!” No. 17 noticed that Su Yang couldn’t understand it so it pointed to the side and dragged Su Yang along.
Su Yang followed its movements, looked over, and found... A little little monster bean by the side of the yard that turned red and was about to explode!
The moment he saw the little monster bean that was about to explode, Su Yang’s eyes lit up!
He ran to the little monster bean, then grabbed it and took off for the kitchen!
Just as he was about to enter the villa, Su Yang turned his head thoughtfully to look at the two little monster beans that he had left behind.
No. 17 was touching the head of the little monster bean that was just knocked over, comforting it.
Su Yang took a look at the ruff of that little monster bean. ‘Hmm .. no.18? They’re brother and sister, right?’ There was no time to think about anything so Su Yang flew back to the kitchen and immediately stuffed everything into the pressure cooker. Then, he added water and finally, he threw the little monster bean that was about to explode into it. With the little monster bean thrown in, all the items automatically melted, even the chair which was placed outside. After doing all this, Su Yang covered the lid. ‘All in one go!’
Listening to the contents in the pressure cooker, he heard a bang, a sign that the little monster bean had exploded.
Based on his previous experience, Su Yang jbew that the little monster beans were effective as long as they were thrown into the pot before frying them so he wasn’t worried.
While looking at the system countdown that shows how long it would take to boil the concoction, Su Yang slowly went back to the living room thinking. Finally, it’s done!’
Returning to the living room and lying on the sofa, Su Yang called out his phone, intending to browse through his friends’ social media updates to get through the half hour it would take to finish cooking.
‘I wonder if it’s because it’s almost midnight that there aren’t many people who update their social media profiles... Well, except for Qu Xiaomeng, that nuisance, who was tempting people late at night and shared some pictures of food. Other than that, there’s nothing else to see.’
That was right, Su Yang had been going back and forth dragging her into the ‘blocked list’ for the upteenth time and pulling her out of the list for the upteenth time.
Su Yang looked at Qu Xiaomeng’s caption of that picture. [I’m starving! I won’t make it easy for you either!) “Well... Was that the reason for the late night temptation?’
Su Yang always felt that Qu Xiaomeng being so irritable might have something to do with her brother. Thinking about Qu Xuan, Su Yang refreshed his feed, and his posts popped up.
He shared a short video that Su Yang clicked to take a look at. He was the one who shot the video. In it, he filmed two young ladies sitting on a school bench chatting as he said to the camera, “There’s a very pretty young lady here! Watch me get her to be my girlfriend.”
Saying that, Qu Xuan went before both girls and said to one of them, a lady with long legs and a beautiful face, “Miss, I fell in love with you at first sight, can I be your boyfriend?” That lady looked up at him when she heard Qu Xuan say that, her expression clearly visible in the video going from calm, to shock, to joy, and finally blushing all over her face.
Her best friend next to her also looked at him, covered her mouth, and prodded the young lady.
‘m
The little sister shyly replied, “Yes.”
The video ended here, and the living room was silent...
Su Yang was speechless.
‘What, what the fuck was this!
‘Picking up girls on a live broadcast?!
‘I can’t believe you actually got a girlfriend at school.
Su Yang looked at the bag he put on the table and was silent. It was empty and didn’t have the two million he claimed to be in the bag. In the end, he was the one bragging.
‘Sh*t! How uncool is that?!’
So after having put numerous girls in his blocked list, Su Yang finally blocked a guy instead
Since Qu Xuan did too much to make him angry, Su Yang thought about it and blocked Qu Xiaomeng as well. This is all your brother’s doing. He’s so annoying!’
After waiting around for half an hour, the system’s countdown finally ended. Su Yang exhaled a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen, and opened the pressure cooker. Inside the pressure cooker was a pot of thick brown stuff that emitted a foul smell.
He didn’t even dare to think deeply about what this thing was and could only hold his nose, open the system store, and click on the [Submit] button.
As Su Yang clicked (Submit), a prompt screen popped up in front of him.
(Detected the use of more rare materials, special items will give birth to additional abilities or talents. Confirm submission?]
Su Yang, who had experienced this twice, clicked (Confirm) without hesitation.
After Su Yang clicked (Confirm), the strange pot of things, along with the pressure cooker, disappeared into thin air without a trace.
A moment later, a crumpled piece of brown paper appeared out of thin air, and pasted itself on Su Yang’s head silently.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Why am I so unlucky this week!
‘Is this a sign that I’m going to have good luck next week?’
Since the system exchange things were so strange, he didn’t dare to use his hands to touch the vellum affixed to his head and could only shake his head in an attempt to shake it off. After shaking his head for a minute, the vellum finally fell on the ground.
Looking at it on the ground, Su Yang patiently waited for the system interface to appear.
After a moment, an interface finally popped up on the vellum.
(Shape-Shifting Vellum]
Ability: This vellum paper can be automatically transformed into any origami shape you wish.
Note: With it, you don’t have to worry about your child not knowing how to fold paper anymore.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘That’s it? ‘Did I see it correctly?’
Su Yang closed his eyes and opened them once again with great effort, wanting to see if the item’s description was really that simple and if the ability was really that common..
The truth was as he wished. That was it.
Su Yang facepalmed, did he really blow up his lucky slot this week?
He looked at the vellum and didn’t despair. After all... Everything still had a chance to turn around for the better.
The little monster bean that he threw in had given a new talent or ability to this vellum!
If this worked, it would mean that this vellum would turn out to be more useful!
So Su Yang pulled down Vellum Paper’s item description with a hopeful heart, intending to see what abilities the little monster bean had attached to the item this time around!
