"Did I hear you're also going to China Joy this year?" Fang Jueyu messaged Guo Xinyu after finishing her livestream as usual and was about to go to bed.
"Also? You're going too?"
"Yeah, because I've gained a lot of followers recently, Bamboo Platform has invited me as a guest. I might also be at the Bamboo Platform booth!" Guo Xinyu sent a cheeky emoji.
"Great, I'll treat you to a meal then!" Fang Jueyu had always wanted to see Guo Xinyu's real face, and this might be the first time she'd show her face after streaming for so long.
"That won't do, you've helped me so much, I should be the one treating you!" Guo Xinyu's followers had increased to over two million, and Bamboo Platform had just signed a long-term contract with her a few days ago.
That contract brought her enough benefits to pay off her family's debts and improve her life, all thanks to Fang Jueyu.
"Okay then, I won't be shy about it, I'm looking forward to seeing you!" Fang Jueyu didn't refuse further.
"Hehehe, then you might be disappointed; I'm not as pretty as you think. Don't forget, the folks in the livestream call me Qiao Biluo!" Guo Xinyu playfully said.
"I don't believe that; you girls always think you're not pretty or thin enough, women's mouths, deceiving men's minds."
"All right, it's late; I'm going to sleep, see you in the Magic City then!" It was past midnight, and Guo Xinyu was feeling increasingly sleepy.
"Okay, get some sleep early!" Fang Jueyu was still wide awake, probably because his body had been enhanced. Recently, no matter how late he went to bed, he would wake up full of energy the next morning.
"Wait, did I forget something recently?" Just as Fang Jueyu was about to fall asleep, he suddenly sprang up from his bed, "Xinyu, you didn't give me the reward for that last mission, did you?"
What ancestors discarded as trash might sound dodgy, but Fang Jueyu believed it was definitely something astonishing!
"Host, you finally remembered! If you don't claim your mission reward within a week, you won't be able to claim it anymore!" Xinyu said.
"Damn it, why didn't you remind me or just give it to me directly?" Fang Jueyu said angrily, realizing that if he hadn't remembered, the mission would have been almost for nothing besides a slight increase in his authority level.
"This is the dictate of the 99th host," suddenly Xinyu mimicked Fang Huai's tone, "This kid is always scatterbrained. If you get a chance, teach him a lesson to make him more mindful in the future!"
Not only did Xinyu perfectly imitate the voice, but also the tone, leaving Fang Jueyu with some complaints, yet it was his dad's instruction, so he couldn't really blame Xinyu.
But this time, he did learn his lesson; he would claim his rewards immediately after completing missions in the future. The reward after completing the university anniversary mission would be even more substantial.
"Okay, just give me the mission reward now!" Fang Jueyu said, eager to find out what the so-called ancestral trash was.
No sooner had he spoken than a square space appeared in Fang Jueyu's mind, a space that didn't connect to the world he lived in but existed independently!
"Xinyu, what is this? Is this an independent space?" Fang Jueyu felt as if he was in a sci-fi world.
"Exactly, this is a movable independent space created using spatial science; theoretically, this space can be very large, but due to authority restrictions, you can only use a cubic meter of space for now."
"My god!" Even a cubic meter was enough to do a lot of things, "How did you manage to do this?"
"The civilization that created me is much more advanced than Earth, and this kind of spatial technology isn't difficult for them!"
"And your civilization?" Fang Jueyu had never asked about Xinyu's origins.
"Due to the overexploitation of resources, the entire galaxy was destroyed, and my data stream followed the gamma rays of the star's destruction and arrived on Earth, entering the body of the Fang Family ancestor, your ninety-ninth predecessor, and has stayed until now."
"So that's how it is." Fang Jueyu couldn't believe that he had accidentally discovered the origin of Xiao Yi, and perhaps that was when his family's fate had begun to change?
"How am I supposed to use this space?"
"The host just needs to control it with their mind!"
Thinking about it, Fang Jueyu tried to bring the space closer to himself, and sure enough, his field of vision kept narrowing. This cubic meter of space was almost empty, except for a small porcelain bottle.
Fang Jueyu took out the small bottle, "Could this be some kind of antique?"
"If you insist on saying that, then yes, it's from the period of the fifteenth generation host. Passed down through so many years, it's quite valuable," Xiao Yi said, "But the real reward is what's inside the bottle!"
"Oh?" Fang Jueyu hurriedly opened the bottle, and a fragrance like that of herbs immediately gushed out, invigorating Fang Jueyu's spirit.
The small bottle contained five dark, slick objects, about the size of a sweetener, though their shapes weren't as regular.
"What on earth is this? It better not be some thousands of years old boogers my ancestor saved up."
If Fang Jueyu's ancestors were still alive, hearing this comment would probably have gotten him beaten to death on the spot.
"These are the failed products obtained by the fifteenth generation host while making alchemical pills!"
"What? Alchemical pills? Immortal cultivation?" Fang Jueyu couldn't help but mutter.
"This is a form of science!" Xiao Yi said sternly, "Many components in plants, after being extracted and condensed, are greatly beneficial for the human body. Although Earth's plants are somewhat inferior, the refined substances can't make one immortal, but they can extend life and preserve youth!"
"And these…"
"These were the failed products created by accident by the fifteenth generation host while trying to make an Elixir of Immortality for Emperor Qin Shi Huang; he was supposed to discard them, but I kept them!"
"I… Emperor Qin Shi Huang…" Fang Jueyu was at a loss for words again; even Emperor Qin Shi Huang was brought into this.
"The fifteenth generation host had learned a lot of alchemy knowledge from my database; at that time, he was an Alchemy Master. Although he could not produce anything spectacular, as long as the materials were sufficient, helping someone live an extra two decades wasn't a difficult task!"
"Is that so?" Even with modern medicine, having someone on their deathbed live a few more days is tough, yet his ancestor truly had skills.
"Emperor Qin Shi Huang, when nearing death, asked your ancestor to help him make the Elixir of Immortality," Xiao Yi chuckled, "but even the most precious medicines on Earth couldn't achieve that; he only made three pills that extended life by a decade or so."
"What happened after that?" Fang Jueyu was becoming more interested in this part of history.
"After that, the three pills were intercepted by Zhao Gao, but that was no longer the concern of the host at the time. He had already developed methods to unlock human potential, and with the items awarded to him by the emperor, he fought his way out of the chaotic palace alone…"
"Hahaha, worthy of my ancestor, truly impressive," a strong sense of pride surged in Fang Jueyu's heart, "So, what use are these five useless objects? Can they extend life?"
"Not really," Xiao Yi said, "These are all failed products, so naturally, there are some issues with their efficacy; however, I have analyzed their components, and they can cause aging cells to rapidly regenerate. While they can't cure all diseases, as long as it's not a missing arm or a leg, they can heal any injury or sickness!"
"Including cancer and AIDS?"
"They can heal!"
