Yi Ti almost put dropped her bowl when she saw Cecil . She carefully observed him for a moment, then put out a finger and carefully poked Cecil: “What happened?”
“Do not worry, just accepted too much information at once . ”
“… …” This guy had really plugged into the computer ah . Before the cookie event, Cecil had been on her bad side but now, she knew he was pretty tough and didn’t worry too much . “Really? No problem?”
“It’s okay . It’s just…so much information…so confusing…just need to finish absorbing…”
Yi Ti: “… …” Hey, is this really no problem? It will not be good if he dies .
Fortunately, after she finished her breakfast and returned to the living room, Cecil finally returned to normal in shape and manner of speech . Then, he acknowledged his mistake . He now recognized that he had underestimated the Earth’s ability to create “information junk” . Next time, he would be more careful .
Yi Ti just wanted to say – ‘There’s going to be a next time?’ And, ‘Haven’t you painted Earth black enough!?’
After some more frustration, the morning had almost been used up .
Yi Ti is still didn’t intended to open the shop today, but to focus on a key .
After she had received the legacy of the old man, she had been given all the keys to the house . But after checking out the property, she noticed that one of the keys didn’t fit any of the doors or locks . It couldn’t be a junk key though because it felt very smooth…like it had been used often .
“Is that the key to the room?”
Yi Ti looked up from the key surprised to see Cecil: “The room?” Which room?
“Yesterday I gathered all the information about the room, it was locked . Are you going to open it now?”
“Where is it?”
“Below your bedroom . ”
“…”
A basement?
Yi Ti realized that this seemingly ordinary house, like her, might be hiding a secret . Because normal people, had absolutely no need for such things, right?
Her mind flirted with going to look .
With Cecil’s help, she quickly found a loose floor tile, and was easily able to lift it up . But at this time, she suddenly thought, since the room was in the ground, then it should be a secret place . Generally, so-called secret places have always been exclusive . Although she had inherited the house, was she even worthy to inherit this secret?
“Is an eight-digit code lock . ”
Yi Ti looked down and found in front of her really was a keypad . Looking at the key, the code should be a set of numbers and letters . She thought for a moment and then decided . If… . if she could guess the code, then that showed she was allowed to enter . If not, then she would give up on the idea of snooping around
So she took a deep breath, and input “yiti0703” . . This is her name and the day she met the old man .
“Click” The lock opened .
At the same time, a small keyhole appeared by the keypad .
Yi Ti felt assured, this is indeed the old man leaving her a valuable asset . But, what could it be?
She put the key in and gave a gentle twist . Suddenly a handle popped from the bottom of the keypad . Yi Ti grabbed it and gave a slight pull . Suddenly, the floor (which was very thick) came up and revealed a ladder leading down .
Just like in the movies, as soon as the door opened, lights came on and it looked very well lit down there .
Yi Ti thought a moment . She then set the keys next to Cecil . : “Cecil, do me a favor?”
“Yes,” said the slime without hesitation .
“If I accidentally touch something down there and the door shuts, reopen the door so I can get out . ”
Cecil wrapped the key in his tentacles and replied, “Sure . ”
Although the alien still looks so soft and slippery, Yi Ti always thinks he looks very reliable . So, she didn’t worry about going down .
Besides, she does not think there is any danger below .
After walking down the ladder, and taking a few steps, a brown door appeared in front of Yi Ti . This door was strange . Instead of a normal door with a handle and lock, this door had a white stone ball embedded in it .
“This is…”
She has seen this .
The mosaic sparked a memory of that day with the old man .
Yi Ti remembered that day very clearly . The old man had gone to the back of the shop and told her to have a look around . Because it was raining so hard, she had nothing better to do so she walked the aisles . She picked up a flower and was about to set it down when she saw the stone ball . Curious, she had picked it up . What she didn’t expect was that as soon as she did, the ball let out a very dazzling green light . It scared her so badly she dropped the ball .
Fortunately, it did not hit the ground, but fell into her purse .
But even so, she was scared enough to choke . She secretly cursed and put it back in its original place . She did not expect to turn around and see the old man staring at her . The cup of tea in his hands was slightly tilted and spilling on the ground .
At that time she only apologized . She was so embarrassed she didn’t even think about the weird green light .
Now that she thought about it, the old man was watching her with eyes that were really not quite right . He looked surprised … joyful … a lot of emotions intertwined together . He was so intent that he didn’t even notice that his shoes were soaking wet .
After that the old man seemed to want to say something . But since she was embarrassed, Yi Ti hurried to leave . However, before leaving, the old man had meaningfully said something to her –
“If you are free, do you want to try to plant flowers? I think you are very talented . ”
She was so shocked, because she had never told anyone about being able to plant things . How had he known?
Now it came to this … …
The old man had said that…and now this door…
That being the case, the method of opening the door is very obvious .
Yi Ti only needed to……
Put her hand on it .
Yi Ti looked down at the palm of her hand . She suddenly had a kind of premonition . She felt that once she did this, her life may change forever and go in a really different direction .
Did she really want to do this?
She hesitated, suddenly she felt something touch her . Turning around Yi Ti saw a tentacle poking her back . Another tentacle held a note written on a piece of paper-
[Are you ok? n, y]
She smiled .
Indeed, from the moment she met Cecil, her life had already changed .
Although she had lived in the “everyday” world, at that time she had nothing to do with Cecil . But now, she was living with an alien! Perhaps she has a soft heart…she had been so ordinary … … No, because she had been so ordinary, deep down she may have been eager for something…extraordinary . Maybe, she hoped her life would be a little bit different from the rest .
In short, the original Yi Ti had a thirst for adventure!
Now was not the time to hesitate! .
Yi Ti took a deep breath and shouted back, “I’m fine” . Then she raised her hand to touch the cold stone ball .
A green light burst from the stone ball and the door opened .
In front of her was a very ancient stone chamber . The surrounding walls and floors were made of monolithic stone . These stones showed a black and white intertwining pattern that looked incredible . Until today, Yi Ti had never seen such a stone . In the center of the stone chamber, was a straw futon, that looked like it had been used often .
On the futon was placed an envelope and a crescent-shaped black stone . The envelope had “Yi Ti pro-Kai” written on it .
Yi Ti picked up the envelope, opened it, and then she read it’s incredible content .
“Xu Xiuying,” the old man is really not an ordinary person . In his words, she belonged to a spiritual division . The so-called “spiritual plant division”, as the name suggests is very good at cultivating a variety of plants which contain auras . In addition, they can extract from such plants various magical properties and make a variety of concoctions with magical effects . Although these medications may seem to convey immortality, anything that doesn’t contain “erysipelas” will in fact cause damage to the human body when taken in excess .
With this talent not seen in that many people, the status of the spiritual division has faded from memory .
This talent seems to have some kind of wonderful relationship with the blood . In short, if the parents are of the spiritual plant division, the child has a relatively high probability of talent . Xu, the old man, continued to write that in the past, there had been several high-level spiritual division members, intermediate and low-level spiritual division members . Each one had been extremely prosperous . But, with the passage of time, the world’s aura had become more and more scarce and the Aura plants gradually became extinct . The Xu family, naturally also gradually decline until only old man Xu was left .
And Yi Ti, also has this talent . And so he decided to let the family be handed down to her . The Lingshi’s green light was proof .
