"Jasmine, have you found the place where the soil is soft?" Gale asked Jasmine.
He asked her to look for that, as the place where the soil was dug out would be soft after filling it up again.
"No, master. Let me check that one last corner." Jasmine went to check the last corner that was left.
Jasmine dug her shovel and it went in very easily. She happily shouted at Gale. "Master, I found it!"
Gale quickly went to her and checked it out himself. And she was right; it was indeed soft. He rubbed her head subconsciously. "Good job, Jasmine."
She blushed a little getting patted and underneath her dress, her tail was tucked in. No one saw it was wiggling silently because of Gale's pat.
"Now, let's start digging." Gale started digging while inviting Jasmine to join in.
A few minutes late.
Ding!
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ "We got it." Gale shoveled the rest of the soil with his bare hands and took out a small wooden box.
They sat down on the ground and opened the box with great anticipation.
Click
Gale opened the box with glowing eyes, only to get hit by a great wave of disappointment.
There was nothing in the box except a single piece of spirit stone that had a small core in the middle of it. They both froze there like stones, seeing the scene in front of them.
Then Gale exploded. "You've got to be kidding me!"
As he shouted like that, a wave of memories started flashing before his mind. After seeing all of that, he finally knew why he didn't know anything of this history. Because it was painful for him.
His predecessor had saved a hefty amount of spirit stones, but he got robbed by some beach family kids, who he told them accidentally. Then they came to his house and beat him up heavily to take those out. He wanted to do business with those spirit stones in the future. So, his hope got lost when he had nothing left.
'Not this again!' Gale's blood pressure was rising just from remembering that. It was almost identical to his story.
He grabbed that only piece of stone and squeezed it in his hand. He gritted his teeth and complained about his life. 'I got reborn as someone who is the same as me!? What is this fate?'
Crack
The spirit stone started to crack little by little, and blood started to come out of his hand. However, he didn't care; his mind was only filled with rage. That didn't mean Jasmine didn't care.
She grabbed his hand and spoke with concern. "Master, stop it. Calm down. Master!"
However, that still couldn't calm down Gale, which led to him eventually crushing the spirit stone.
Crack
The spirit stone broke, and the core all of a sudden entered his body.
'I am go- ' Gale was cursing in his mind when suddenly something appeared before his eyes that led him to freeze like ice.
"Master!" Jasmine quickly took a small piece of cloth and used it to clean the blood that was coming out of his hand. She then used the rest to wrap it around his hand to stop the bleeding.
Meanwhile, Gale was stumped by the digital messages that had appeared before his eyes.
[ Ding ]
[ Mass Spiritual Energy Detected ]
[ Using it to recover the system ]
[ Completion Rate - 92% ]
[ Advice - a chunk of spirit stone cores would be helpful to recover the system fast. ]
When he saw all of this, Gale became speechless. He didn't expect his system to show up like this.
Still, it made him happy. He finally found a way to become someone else.
With tears in his eyes, he grabbed Jasmine and kissed her on the cheek. "Our days will change." Then he hugged her tightly.
Jasmine didn't expect such a surprise attack from Gale. She thought maybe Gale was able to use the spirit stone for cultivation, and that's why he was happy.
But still, it didn't take away the fact that she liked how Gale was treating her now. She also hugged him back.
A few moments later, they separated, and Gale stood up. He asked Jasmine enthusiastically. "Jasmine, what is the best way to earn spirit stones?"
Jasmine thought for a little, then answered. "Master, we are normal people, so it is hard for us to earn spirit stones. But us, normal people also use another currency, which is gold."
"We can earn gold and exchange it for spirit stones later on." She stopped after that.
"What is the exchange rate?" Gale rubbed his chin as he asked.
"It is the same as spirit stones; 100 gold can get you a one-stage spirit stone," Jasmine told him instantly, like she was used to it.
"Okay, that is enough." Gale was done with this much information. "Now, let's go to bed."
Their bed was big enough for two of them. So, they both slept on this one day. However, Gale didn't show any lust toward her as he was busy thinking about changing his destiny.
After the light was turned off, Gale asked in his mind. 'System, can you hear me?'
[ Yes, host. ]
The message popped up before his eyes.
'Can you tell me? Why are you recovering?'
[ Sorry, I cannot answer you that right now. You will be able to know after I fully recover. ]
'Oh,' Gale raised his eyebrows. 'Then how much spirit do you need to recover fully?'
[ I only need 8 one-stage spirit stones to recover. ]
'Then why didn't you use the spiritual energy in the air?' Gale asked what he had the most doubt about.
[ The spiritual energy where you live is thin. I only used that for one year just to reach 91%. ]
He didn't if this mechanical thing has any emotion but he felt disdain from those words.
However, he tossed that out of his mouth. 'Okay, you can now.'
The interface in front of him vanished.
'Guess, have to start looking for a job from tomorrow.' With that thought, Gale closed his eyes, ending his day.
