407 Smashed Open
w.a.n.g Aibao did not knock on the handkerchief directly. Instead, she took the item and opened it to take a look.
She saw that there was something suspected to be a pearl inside. Of course, this thing was already riddled with holes and she could not see the original l.u.s.trous texture of the pearl.
Moreover, this was much bigger than the pearls w.a.n.g Aibao had seen before.
w.a.n.g Aibao was worried. “Where did this come from?”
“A Big Brother gave it to me. Grandma asked me to play with it myself. I want to open it,” Little Ah Yu replied honestly.
Oh, so it was a child’s toy. Needless to say, it was quite realistic.
w.a.n.g Aibao was relieved. She took Little Ah Yu’s small hammer and brought it into the room to knock.
She originally thought that this thing would crack after a single hammer strike, but in the end, there was no change at all.
“Little Aunt, you have to use some strength.” Little Ah Yu pretended to use a lot of strength and smashed her hand down. “Just like me!”
Only then did w.a.n.g Aibao exert her strength. She was extremely strong. After exerting her strength, the small hammer smashed down and the East Pearl shattered into two. A large crack appeared on the table that held the East Pearl.
w.a.n.g Aibao: “…” Oh no, I used too much strength.
Little Ah Yu clapped her hands excitedly. “Wow, Little Aunt is so powerful!!”
w.a.n.g Aibao, who was originally a little guilty, immediately became happy after being praised by the little brat.
She tidied up the broken fragments on the table and realized that a small thing had appeared inside. It was black, round on one end, and sharp on the other. There was a small white crack in the middle.
It was impossible to tell what it was, but it looked like a seed.
“Little Auntie, thank you. I just want this. I’ll give the rest to you!” Little Ah Yu pointed at her milky face. “Grind this into powder and apply it on your face bit by bit. It can make your face better.”
w.a.n.g Aibao felt that something was wrong.
It seemed that only pearls ground into powder could have such an effect.
Wasn’t this a child’s toy?
w.a.n.g Aibao felt that something was wrong.
Little Ah Yu did not care about this. What she wanted was the thing in the bead to begin with.
On the way back to the room, Little Ah Yu was still saying to Meatball, “Elf, there’s really something inside. Is this the seed mentioned in the mission? Are we going to plant it in the soil?”
[Yes, this is also a special seed. I don’t know what it is for the time being. I tested it just now. It might take more than a year to germinate.]
Little Ah Yu: “More than a year? That’ll really take a long time.”
Now, Little Ah Yu already knew that her spatial pocket was a little special. The things planted inside could usually be harvested in two to three days.
However, the same seeds planted by the farmers in the fields could only mature in three to four months. Some took five to six months.
Therefore, Little Ah Yu became more and more concerned about protecting this information.
Most of the things that needed a year to grow were fruit trees.
For example, the grape vines they planted in the village would only bear grapes after three years.
Even if it was nurtured in the spatial pocket, it had to follow a certain natural law. It depended on whether it could be nurtured this year.
“Is this a fruit tree? What kind of fruit is it?” Little Ah Yu began to look forward to it.
[Maybe.]
[The mission progress shows that it has been completed by 1/3. We might have to wait for it to germinate and grow something before the mission is fully completed.]
Little Ah Yu was a little disappointed. “Then can’t I get the reward now?”
In the past, Little Ah Yu did not care about these rewards because she did not understand them yet. Now, she cares. It did not matter what it was as long as it was a reward.
It was just like how Liu Shi taught everyone in the Yang Family Private School to recognize things. As long as anyone recognized it well, they could obtain the small flowers that Liu Shi had woven with gra.s.s.
The children liked it very much, and Little Ah Yu especially liked it.
That was a reward.
[Yes, there’s a small reward for every stage. When it’s fully completed, it’ll be a huge reward.]
[You obtained the seed and got a small prize. Take a look.]
After returning to her room, Little Ah Yu entered the spatial pocket to talk to Meatball.
A ball of light appeared in front of Meatball. When the light dissipated, another handful of seeds appeared.
[This is the seed of the Sound Transmission Gra.s.s. It was originally a special product of the Eastern Wasteland Kingdom and only grew in their capital. Later on, the Eastern Wasteland Kingdom was completely destroyed, and the Sound Transmission Gra.s.s disappeared.]
Little Ah Yu was puzzled. “What’s so special about this?”
[As the name implies, this thing can transmit sound after growing out.]
[The flowers of this gra.s.s can be used as medicine and can cure many strange poisons in the world. Its fruits are lanterns. When you speak into the lantern, you can hide your voice inside. When you open the lantern, the words inside can be heard. A lantern can only be used once.]
Meatball tried its best to explain in detail.
Little Ah Yu: “Wow, I want to plant it, I want to plant it!”
With this sound transmission gra.s.s, she could write letters to Big Brother Ah You in the future and bring her voice over. How good would that be!
