Chapter 246: Bracelet relic



The host also swallowed with difficulty. He knew this one wouldn\'t sell well; the design outlook was too simple and who knew how fragile the material was after all those years.

People would never want to be fooled. Unlike the famous pearl, whose reputation ranked very high, this antique bracelet had no distinct attraction other than its age.

"Why don\'t you donate one to the museum?" One person from the crowd said. The rest couldn\'t help but nod. The host explained the situation and the unwillingness of the Shen family.

Since the bracelet belonged to them, it was their decision on what to do next. Being morally kidnapped to donate for the public was a nuisance. Fortunately, everyone was a wealthy individual and didn\'t press the issue further.

If moral kidnapping was the correct path, every rich individual would no longer persevere to climb up, because everything they earned must be shared, and who in the right mind would be willing?

It was as if a lazy being could gain benefits without doing much. Who in the right mind would continue struggling while others enjoy your hard work?

"The price will begin at 1 million. 100,000 plus every bid. Please start." The host announced. His eyes lacked of luster since he knew the price would never go up well.

As expected in contrast to the fierce fight for the pearl, the atmosphere seemed dull until some called out a number.

In contrast, the women around Ling Qingyu noticed her eagerness to own the bracelet though she thought she hid well. After all, they had stayed together for a couple of days and understood each other deeply.

Yang Qingyue, despite not living together, could sense Ling Qingyu\'s mood from her detective\'s eyes. Nudging Ling Qingyu\'s soft waist with her elbow, she drew her attention.

"What\'s the matter again now?" Ling Qingyu asked but her eyes were still drawn to the bracelet.

"You like the bracelet?" Yang Qingyue asked.

"En…it must be mine. I can\'t explain my feelings." Ling Qingyu hummed back and explained. In fact, her mind was communicating with Miss System.

\'Miss System, what\'s the matter with the auctioned bracelet? Why do I feel keen to take it to myself?\' Ling Qingyu asked inwardly.

[Really? I\'ll also take a look…Huh?!]

Miss System\'s doubtful voice raised questions. Ling Qingyu\'s heart raced as she thought of the previous inexplicable premonition. Was there something she was destined to be?

[I don\'t know whether to praise your physique or your luck.]

She heard sourness in Miss System\'s speech. Ling Qingyu wondered if everything was her illusion.

\'What\'s wrong with the bracelet? Why do I feel strange whenever my eyes land on it?\'

[It\'s definitely a precious relic from ancient times. The reason why you sense inexplicableness is the large merits contained inside the bracelet\'s space.]

Miss System\'s explanation shed some light but Ling Qingyu realized something amiss. \'You mean there\'s a storage space? How large is it?\'

[Not sure till you grasp it with your hand. Anyway it\'s hidden too deep.]

\'Who\'s the previous owner?\' Ling Qingyu was curious. The wearer was definitely a woman and a strong one too.

[A female immortal who did so many good deeds. Unfortunately, good karma couldn\'t help her breakthrough tribulation. She got injured and lost her cultivation, banished to the mortal world, and died after spending her lifespan.]

Huge tides rushed through Ling Qingyu\'s brain. Excitement. Eagerness. Immortality. Well, the host wasn\'t wrong in describing the owner, who definitely matched the queen-like figure. No, to be frank, an empress.

\'Wait, something\'s not right. Didn\'t you say only technological objects will exist in this world? How come something from the cultivation world stayed here?\' Ling Qingyu asked with a pair of suspicious eyes.

Her gaze was too intense, even Miss System felt embarrassed.

[Ahem—sometimes, people overlook—]

\'Please, didn\'t I just ask you to scan if there are similar items and what did you say? Nothing, none. And now this one slaps your face, Miss System.\' Ling Qingyu folded her arms. \'Don\'t tell me when I requested, you reply perfunctorily. Now, this bracelet is a superb relic belonging to me!\'

While Ling Qingyu conversed inside, she didn\'t forget to bid when the price stagnated at 13 million and obtained the bracelet. Feeling happy, she decided to forget Miss System\'s carelessness.

[Stop trying to blame me. Without my presence, you won\'t even know what its function is in the first place…hmph.]

Ling Qingyu\'s eyelids twitched. Although the truth was hurtful, Miss System really didn\'t care about her fragile mood.

\'Alright, I\'m just too anxious. I never blame my benefactor.\' Ling Qingyu instantly comforted.

[I\'m too lazy to care about you. But I must thank you for providing such large merits and energy.] Miss System\'s reply brought joy to Ling Qingyu.

\'No problem. We got each other\'s back.\' Ling Qingyu replied.

[Since this bracelet shouldn\'t possess the perks from cultivation world, I\'ll destroy them after absorbing what I need.]

Ling Qingyu\'s spine chilled and immediately objected. \'No way, why would you do that? At least, save the storage space for me to use.\'

[These shouldn\'t exist in this world from the beginning. The alien item isn\'t a good sign for this world.]

\'Please, Miss System, hold your thoughts. Remember, I buy the bracelet with my money.\' Ling Qingyu exclaimed inside her head.

[And who gives you the money as a gift? Do you have a temporary amnesia?]

Ling Qingyu\'s corner of the mouth twitched, hearing the System\'s mockery. She almost choked, speechless. F**k, when the real truth came, it hurt.

Alas, Ling Qingyu had to resort to cuteness, whining coquettishly. \'Miss System! Please give me some benefits. I don\'t need aura or anything but the spacial ability can come into hand one day. I promise I won\'t abuse.\'

[Tsk…I don\'t why you\'re always lucky to find treasure. But I must remind you again, today\'s era resembles a desolate era, where there\'s a lack of aura. Immortal cultivation is impossible except for body-strengthening skills, like ancient martial arts. Even then you can only improve physique strengthening, as for the rest including internal energy, everything is a dream.]

\'Miss System is always pessimistic. Don\'t think too much.\' Ling Qingyu pursed her lips. \'This bracelet already shows I\'m destined to meet immortal fate.\'

[…] Miss System went quiet for a while and agreed with Ling Qingyu, who didn\'t yet know surprises were laid down before her.

\'Speaking of, what\'s your decision then? Are you going to destroy after absorbing the merits?\' Ling Qingyu asked.

[Yes. Things that shouldn\'t exist, should be destroyed.]

\'Then, never mind, I won\'t touch that bracelet any longer.\'

[You…what do you mean?]

\'Based on my knowledge of existence like yours, you need a medium like us to absorb. So, if I didn\'t touch the bracelet, don\'t even think about it.\' Ling Qingyu\'s expression was smug.

Studying Ling Qingyu\'s altering expressions, Yang Qingyue and the women around were worried. Their previous request shouldn\'t stimulate Ling Qingyu too much, right? Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue exchanged glances and relieved the others\' tension.

They understood some kind of communication was taking place and the topic must revolve around the bracelet Ling Qingyu bought. What secrets did it hold? Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue became restless eager to hear Ling Qingyu\'s explanation.

[You\'re really despicable.]

\'Thank you.\' Ling Qingyu was glad she guessed right, based on conjectures in many novels.

[Huh…fine, I won\'t destroy the storage space for you; as for other energies, I\'m sorry.] In fact, Miss System could absorb what she desired without going through Ling Qingyu but the cost outweighed the gain.

Miss System had no idea how Ling Qingyu predicted some universal laws pertinent to her existence. In any case, it didn\'t matter whether Ling Qingyu abused the storage space bracelet, this world should bear the consequences, not hers.

Of course, Ling Qingyu utilized the maximum push and pull method to coax Miss System. As a businesswoman, she sought for maximum gain.

From Miss System\'s tone, Ling Qingyu realized she could negotiate more and remembered her sign-in reward, which was nullified for half a year because of her mother. Well, she didn\'t have any regret but her heart ached whenever she recalled of losing her monthly golden finger.

\'How about changing my 6-month delay to 1 month for the sign-in gift?\'

[Impossible! The maximum 4 months.] Discover stories with m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net

\'One month or else don\'t even think about the bracelet; I\'ll put it further away and don\'t even try to touch it.\' Ling Qingyu retorted. \'You can only look but cannot eat.\'

Although she had no idea how much merit was contained in the bracelet, the amount should be substantial based on Miss System\'s urgency.

An existence which could easily create an underground realm, was eager for the energy inside the bracelet. Even an idiot could estimate roughly and exploit Miss System.

As her benefactor, Ling Qingyu never thought of cheating Miss System. She would be repaying gratitude with swords. She wasn\'t a vile character. But principle firmly stated, that she must attain what she deserved, taking advantage of the world will\'s restriction against Miss System.

[You\'re really necrotic. With all the aids I deliver, how could you? Woowoo!] Miss System cried bitterly.

Hearing a grievance from a little girl, Ling Qingyu felt guilty, wondering if she overstepped and signed. \'Alright, 2 months then, no more. Please don\'t forget the storage space.\'

[Deal!] Miss System laughed jubilantly.

Ling Qingyu\'s face darkened. She was being outwitted completely. But she wasn\'t angry—each going tit-for-a-tat of acting skills. Not to mention, her benefits weren\'t small.

A mere storage space had elated her mood to nine heavens. Nonetheless, despite being played around, Ling Qingyu was happy for Miss System

\'Can I use other treasure to lift away the remaining months?\'

[Don\'t even think about it. Focus more on how to gain merits through your actions.]

It appeared, Ling Qingyu couldn\'t retrieve more loopholes from Miss System. Bargaining for the sign-in reward continuation 2 months later seemed not bad.

\'Now that we met one which helps you, can you find others?\'

[Hmm, let me carefully—Huh, your luck is not bad. Although this one isn\'t any use for me, or even you, I\'m sure, you\'ll be delighted to own it.]

\'Which one?\' Ling Qingyu\'s eyes shone with excitement.

[Number 19, the one before the last one go on stage.]

\'Oh, I have to wait for a while. Tonight\'s journey isn\'t bad at all,\' Ling Qingyu said. \'I\'m curious why this world has something it shouldn\'t?\'
