The most important thing is that during the chip fusion process, Lin Xiao discovered that the black stone that hit him was the best treasure.
The exploration ship, in order to explore an ancient ruin, fearlessly rushed into the battlefield. It passed through the battlefield area without any major incidents and smoothly entered the ruins.
According to the analysis of the inscriptions and records left in the ruins, it was known that they were remnants left by the ancient Nuwa after she mended the sky. Even though they were just remnants, they were still materials that had mended the cosmic barrier, a rare and hard-to-come-by opportunity, which everyone celebrated.
A space-time black hole appeared, and the collision waves from the interstellar railguns affected the ruins. The exploration ship was inevitably sucked into the black hole. All the items were disintegrated by the black hole, except for the black stone brought out from the ruins, which continued to flash, ignoring the black hole's disintegration power.
By a fortunate coincidence, the core chip was pushed by the black hole's force to the side of the stone, and the two fused together.
The black stone was actually a fragment of a small world, containing blue skies, white clouds, black soil, green mountains, and clear water, but there was no life.
The power of space-time eroded the world's power within the black stone. In the end, what appeared before Lin Xiao was only black soil and a small spring, equivalent to being compressed to a state 7,000 years ago by the power of space-time.
"Drip, drip, drip," yes, this was the sound of Lin Xiao's saliva dripping to the ground. Looking at his dazed expression and the continuous flow of saliva, he looked like a patient who had just escaped from the hospital.
"Damn, I'm rich! Isn't this just like those big shots on起点 (Qidian)!" Lin Xiao, regaining his senses, cursed loudly.
"Ah, what's the use of being rich? Even if I am rich, I only have five years left to live, and I'm still far from being rich. When I get rich, I'll be close to death." Lin Xiao's expression became conflicted again.
"Whatever, let's see what the space is like first." Lin Xiao calmed down.
Touching the spot on his forehead where the stone had hit him, he silently recited the command to enter. A colorful, distorted ripple passed, and Lin Xiao disappeared from his original location.
"Haha, it's real, I'm not dreaming." The first thing Lin Xiao did after entering the space was to laugh with his hands on his hips, releasing the joy in his heart.
What caught his eye was about one acre of black soil, with a spring at the center, about one meter in radius, continuously spouting water. The most peculiar thing was that the water was green.
Beyond that was a gray space, hazy and indistinct, but at the edge of the black soil stood a stone monument, about two meters high.
Lin Xiao stopped beside the stone monument and saw that it was covered with densely written characters. These characters resembled tadpole script but had an indescribable charm. Although Lin Xiao should not have understood them, he knew the meaning of the words on the stone monument.
The stone monument said that the black soil was actually refined soil from ancient cultivators, called Xirang, which had powerful effects. The drawback was that it required a lot of energy. It could instantly mature a plant or make a plant grow to a thousand years old in a day. However, with only 1% of the energy, Lin Xiao couldn't even mature a plant for a year.
Even without energy support, Xirang was much stronger than other soils. Ordinary plants or crops planted in Xirang would mature faster, and their genes would be optimized to produce a more delicious result.
The green spring contained a faint spiritual energy, and drinking it daily would benefit the body.
In fact, the recent increase in Lin Xiao's strength and the whitening of his skin were due to the fusion.
However, long-term consumption of the spring water could make the skin soft and smooth, and purify harmful substances in the body.
Standing in front of the stone monument for a while, Lin Xiao calmed down. He felt the sky was particularly blue, and the heavy stone in his heart was slightly lifted. There was always a way out, and with the help of Xirang, he should be able to cultivate the rare flowers and plants given by the system.
He roughly toured the space and found that the air inside was much purer than outside, where the air was almost toxic.
Exiting the space, Lin Xiao summarized the events of the past two days. He felt that these two days were more exciting than the past 25 years, with his emotions fluctuating like ocean waves.
So many things that seemed to belong to the world of novels had happened to him, and to say he accepted them calmly would be a lie.
"Thirsty, I want to drink some water. Hmm? What's happening? Why is water coming out of my hand? Could it be because I was thirsty and thought about it, so it came out?" Lin Xiao, full of questions, looked at the water suddenly appearing from his palm.
He leaned in and licked it, discovering that the water was from the space. He didn't know how it came out of his palm, but a thought crossed his mind, and he focused on his palm, shouting "Stop" in his mind. The effect was immediate, and the water stopped coming out.
"Out"
"Stop"
"Out"
"Stop"
Lin Xiao played with it happily, laughing as if he had discovered a treasure.
After playing until he was tired, he lay on the bed, thinking about what to do in the future, and eventually fell asleep.
The next morning, Lin Xiao, with his biological clock, got out of bed, shook his drowsy head, washed up, and went out. He had already decided what to do with his future. Working at the company was no longer suitable for him. He had about 100,000 yuan in savings, enough to last for a while. He planned to resign first and wouldn't have to see that disgusting fat girl anymore, which made him feel much better.
At the company, he submitted a resignation letter to the general manager, who approved it. He then returned to his desk to pack up his things.
"Little Lin, what's going on? Why are you packing up? Did you get fired?" Wu Yaoying, our "demon," twisted her slim waist and asked Lin Xiao.
"Sister Li, I resigned. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I had some issues, so I had to resign." Lin Xiao smiled and replied.
"Tell me, did that fat girl play a trick? I'll help you get justice." Wu Zuo Li continued to press.
"No, I resigned on my own. Some things happened these past few days, and I had to resign. I'm also reluctant to leave." Lin Xiao continued to answer.
At this moment, the colleagues nearby heard their conversation and slowly gathered to ask about the situation.
"Thank you, thank you all for taking care of me during this time. I resigned for personal reasons." Lin Xiao had no choice but to reiterate his earlier statement.
"Since you don't want to reveal the reason, we won't press further. If you need help, come to me. My husband has some influence in HZ City, so don't be shy." Wu Zuo Li, seeing that she couldn't get an answer, changed her tone.
Wu Zuo Li's husband was actually the president of a well-known listed company in HZ, with a net worth of about 2 billion yuan. Logically, Wu Zuo Li could be a full-time housewife with such a husband, but she had a restless personality, so her husband had to indulge her.
"Okay, I know. Thank you, Sister Li." Lin Xiao thanked Wu Zuo Li again.
"Then let's have a farewell party for our Lin Xiao today. I'll treat everyone. Sign up now if you want to come." Wu Zuo Li said in a sweet voice.
In the company, no one knew Wu Zuo Li's true identity, only that she had a deep background. No one dared to offend her, and her proposal was met with great enthusiasm.
That night, Lin Xiao, who had been drunk, was sent back to his rental by Wu Zuo Li's red Ferrari.
He fell asleep as soon as he got home, and the night passed without incident.
