Xu Jianxing was not planning to sell the jade pieces; instead, he intended to use them as offerings to see what kind of items he could obtain through the ritual.
Lu Qian, of course, had no idea about Xu Jianxing's specific plans. She didn't think much about it and nodded with a smile, "Okay, honey."
"Alright, I'll go to the room and get a bag to put these jades in," Xu Jianxing said, then walked into the room. Once inside, he stored the jade pieces in his spatial item.
Soon after, Xu Jianxing came out with a bag and helped Lu Qian put the jades inside.
After a brief rest, the two went out to buy some things. Lu Qian, being cautious, bought two password-protected suitcases to store the jades.
The day passed quickly.
At around three in the morning the next day, Xu Jianxing slowly woke up, feeling no more drowsiness. With his current cultivation, he needed much less sleep than before. If not for using the Mining Technique to examine the stones, he could go without sleep for several days without any issues.
Xu Jianxing glanced at Lu Qian, who was still sound asleep, and quietly got dressed. He then went to another room, closed the door tightly, and sat cross-legged on the ground, preparing to use the jade pieces for the offering.
He took out a piece of jade, closed his eyes, and held it, starting to chant, "Great Star God, your humble servant Xu Jianxing sincerely offers you this precious gift. May the Star God accept your servant's offering and bestow your blessings."
As he finished speaking, Xu Jianxing immediately felt a lightness in his hand, followed by a fragrant aroma. Recognizing the familiar scent, Xu Jianxing knew what had appeared without opening his eyes, which filled him with excitement.
When he opened his eyes, he saw, as expected, a white experience pill in his hand. At this point, Xu Jianxing didn't need to guess; using jade for offerings clearly increased the chances of obtaining the white experience pill.
In the past, he needed to make about 100 offerings to get one experience pill, but now he got one in a single attempt. Besides the small possibility of a coincidence, it was highly likely that the probability of obtaining items through jade offerings had significantly increased.
To confirm this, Xu Jianxing took out another piece of jade and began to chant, "Great Star God, your humble servant Xu Jianxing sincerely offers you..."
"Damn..." As soon as Xu Jianxing finished speaking, he felt a tremendous weight pressing down on his hand. It wasn't the weight of the object in his hand but the suddenness of the event that caught him off guard.
As the object, weighing over a hundred pounds, was about to hit the ground, Xu Jianxing cursed inwardly, gritted his teeth, and used his arms to support it.
When he caught his breath and placed the object on the ground, Xu Jianxing opened his eyes and was completely stunned.
In front of him was a white toy car shaped like a large rabbit, with two metal wings about forty centimeters long on either side. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and there was even a sophisticated instrument on the rabbit's forehead. Unlike ordinary toy cars, this one had no visible wheels.
"Perhaps the wheels are hidden under the rabbit's feet," Xu Jianxing thought, then stood up to examine the toy car more closely.
Upon closer inspection, Xu Jianxing was once again stunned. On the top of the rabbit, he saw a label that read: "Flying Rabbit L-Type Toy Aircraft, Suitable for Children 8 Years and Older, Production Date: May 10, 3018, Manufacturer: Huaxing Toy Manufacturing Group."
"What the hell is going on?"
After a while, Xu Jianxing finally came to his senses. His eyes showed a mix of joy, surprise, and shock.
He never imagined that using the offering technique could summon items from the future. This was completely beyond the realm of a game.
However, Xu Jianxing thought it wasn't impossible. After all, every world had its own rules, and the rules of this world were certainly different from those of the game world.
For example, the fishing skill he had been using was entirely different from the one in the game. Even the way of learning skills was completely different.
Understanding this, Xu Jianxing began to accept it. But then he couldn't help but wonder if he could summon things from the past as well.
"Can I summon living beings or humans? Or even beautiful cartoon characters from movies, TV shows, novels, or games?"
Xu Jianxing's thoughts wandered, and he couldn't help but chuckle at his own imagination.
But with the next thought, Xu Jianxing started to sweat. He imagined what would happen if he summoned a spaceship. If that happened...
Xu Jianxing looked up at the sky, shuddering. If a spaceship really appeared, he would be crushed to death.
"It won't happen, it definitely won't," Xu Jianxing reassured himself. "Even if it did, it would appear in a different way. If there's any risk, it's still very far from me. After all, the items I'm offering are relatively ordinary, so it's impossible for something so massive to appear."
Thinking about this, Xu Jianxing felt much more at ease. To him, this toy aircraft was an invaluable treasure. In 1000 years, it might be worth as much as a small electric scooter, so using a piece of jade worth hundreds of thousands to summon it wasn't too surprising.
Summoning a spaceship with jade would be like a dream. The value of the metals in a spaceship far exceeded that of a piece of jade. Even using ten tons of jade wouldn't easily summon a spaceship.
With this in mind, Xu Jianxing felt more at peace. He then turned his attention to the aircraft, grinning as he began to study it.
Within five minutes, Xu Jianxing had figured out how to operate the aircraft. It was incredibly simple. The main control was a steering lever that could be used to ascend, move forward, and turn.
There were also three buttons: the first was the start button, the second was for a straight landing, and the third was a lock button that could maintain a constant speed. The aircraft had a sensor system that would automatically avoid obstacles and activate in case of danger to prevent accidents.
For safety, there was a protective seat. When someone sat in the aircraft and started it, a protective seat would extend from behind, and two safety belts would lock the person in place. In case of danger or excessive speed, a protective shield would encase the person. If an accident occurred at high altitude, the protective seat would detach from the aircraft and use a powerful air current to safely bring the person to the ground.
The only downside was that the toy aircraft could only ascend to a maximum height of 100 meters and had a top speed of 220 kilometers per hour. Although this speed and height were extremely dangerous for children today, who knew what the physical and mental capabilities of 8-year-olds in 3018 would be like?
At the same time that Xu Jianxing obtained the aircraft.
In the Temporal Balance Space, China, May 21, 3018, on a beach in a coastal area.
A very handsome little boy watched as his newly bought Flying Rabbit car suddenly disappeared, turning into a light green gem. He was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost. After a while, he looked around but found nothing unusual.
Feeling the strange occurrence, he shivered, grabbed the light green gem, and lightly tapped the ground, flying over ten meters away. He then shouted to his parents on the beach, "Dad, Mom, Dad, Mom..."
Hearing the boy's words, a man in his thirties looked over. When his son flew to his side, he asked in surprise, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?"
"Dad, my Flying Rabbit car just disappeared," the boy said fearfully.
"Xiao Xiao, lying is not good. Did you hide the Flying Rabbit?" the man asked, frowning as he looked around.
"Dad, I'm not lying," the boy said, holding up his small hand. "Dad, look, this thing appeared after my Flying Rabbit disappeared."
"Material 56?" The young parents' eyes widened when they saw the gem in the boy's hand. They knew exactly what it was and its value. In their dreams, they had once wished for such a gem, which could buy a luxurious villa and even send their son to the top True Martial Academy.
So, when the parents saw the gem, the man quickly took it from his son and excitedly said to the woman, "Let's go, Xiao Lan, we need to leave before anyone notices."
"Okay, honey," the woman replied, and they both took off, flying at an incredible speed.
If Xu Jianxing could see the gem, he would notice that it had shrunk to a third of its original size.
At that moment.
After studying the Flying Rabbit car, Xu Jianxing grinned and stored the aircraft in his spatial item. He then quietly opened the door, tapped the ground, and flew into the air.
In two leaps, his figure disappeared into the nearby forest.
In the forest, Xu Jianxing moved like a flash, and in ten minutes, he was over twenty kilometers away from his residence.
Standing on a small path in the forest, Xu Jianxing caught his breath, waved his hand, and the aircraft appeared.
Without hesitation, Xu Jianxing sat on the Flying Rabbit, which was a bit cramped but manageable. He pressed the start button.
Immediately, a seat extended from behind him, and two straps locked him in place. Then, powerful air currents shot out from the rabbit's limbs, causing the ground to vibrate slightly as the aircraft ascended. In a blink, it reached the minimum safe height of ten meters.
Xu Jianxing then gripped the steering lever and, after a short familiarization period, began to play in the vast forest. In the sky, he performed various stunts, accelerating and rolling, which was even more thrilling than a roller coaster.
