Chapter 102 (continued)

"Consumption Inquiry."

System: [Name: Noisy Pot. Specifications: Eighth Grade. Category: Due to special factors, it cannot be classified at this time.]

Li Yang: "!"

The Treasure Pavilion classifies the Noisy Pot as a Sixth Grade, but the system classifies it as an Eighth Grade.

The fact that Li Yang wouldn't doubt Sister Longevity's judgment only proves that the appraiser at the Treasure Pavilion made a mistake.

This thing is actually rated as Eighth Grade...

No wonder she sensed it.

But what exactly is its use?

Li Yang then asked the system a question.

[Do you want to spend 5000 years to perform the query?]

Li Yang couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said speechlessly, "Can you make it cheaper?"

The system remains silent as usual.

Li Yang hesitated for a moment. She could indeed afford 5,000 years of lifespan, but she felt that it would be a waste of time and money.

Will the system really tell her exactly how to use it?

I'm afraid it's better to add a little useful information to the nonsense.

Li Yang also came to understand Sister Longevity's style more and more. For something of this high standard, the lifespan required would increase exponentially.

Li Yang considered it to herself: did she need this Noisy Pot?

Not needed at the moment.

Despite the 20,000-year lifespan that Lianxin unlocked for her, the current increase in her Spirit Points has consumed too much of her lifespan, and it's all used up in the blink of an eye.

The next unlocking quest requires "Lianxin Light of the Divine Sun".

This thing sounds very mysterious and difficult to obtain; it's probably not something that can be easily acquired.

That's enough.

I can't bear to waste this 5,000-year lifespan.

She'll think about it herself first; maybe she can find a clue.

Li Yang had had the Noisy Pot for quite some time, but hadn't heard a sound.

It seems to only make loud noise when I'm meditating.

Li Yang sat in meditation for a while, trying to gauge just how noisy it was.

Li Yang really wasn't afraid of it being noisy.

Because her advancement in spiritual cultivation wasn't achieved through meditation or practice.

Unexpectedly, Li Yang sat there for a full half hour, and the Noisy Pot remained completely silent.

What's going on?

What happened to the promise of being so noisy it was unbearable?

Why is there absolutely no sound?

Li Yang shook the Noisy Pot, and some brilliant spots of light appeared on its dusty, dirty surface.

"What's wrong with this Noisy Pot? Where's the sound?"

There are even more sparkles on the surface of the teapot.

Li Yang had some vague guesses in her mind.

Wanting to hear the sound of this Noisy Pot... could that also be related to talent?

Those Star Wielders can reach the Heavenly Palace are Heavenly Chosen even in the Huaxia Realm Domain.

Therefore, they would all be annoyed by this Noisy Pot.

Li Yang is just an ordinary person in the Huaxia Realm Domain.

An ordinary person like her probably hasn't even entered the Heavenly Palace in ten thousand years.

So no one knows that the noise of this Noisy Pot is related to talent.

Li Yang decided to give it a try.

The talents of the Nature Department students are arranged in a trapezoidal pattern.

There are three relatively ordinary old farmers, as well as Yu Hongyuan and Fang Chuyun who are stronger than ordinary people, and even aristocratic Heavenly Chosen like Lin Zhaoqin.

Li Yang first found Lin Zhaoqin.

Lin Zhaoqin readily agreed when he heard that he could help test the Noisy Pot.

She has always been very proactive, and after taking the Noisy Pot, she began to meditate.

After just three minutes, Lin Zhaoqin pale, asked, "Senior Sister, how long have you been meditating with it?"

Li Yang understood her meaning perfectly well, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "You're really competitive! You have to compete in everything."

Li Yang mumbled, "Not long ago."

"How long!"

"Um..." Li Yang could only honestly reply, "Half an hour."

Lin Zhaoqin: "!!!"

Thankfully, she didn't have Shock Points System, otherwise she could have gotten 2000 points herself.

That's terrifying.

Despite the incredibly noisy environment, my senior sister was still able to meditate for half an hour.

She had already given it her all in those three minutes; if it were even one minute longer, she would go crazy!

Just by looking at Lin Zhaoqin's expression, Li Yang already knew what was going on.

It seems this Noisy Pot is indeed quite loud; Lin Zhaoqin couldn't stand it for more than three minutes.

Li Yang asked her again, "Can you hear what it's saying?"

Lin Zhaoqin shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum. "I can't hear anything! I can't hear anything at all!"

Li Yang wasn't surprised by this answer. She said, "I'll try looking for someone else."

Lin Zhaoqin also got up and followed her, saying defiantly, "I dare say, the others wouldn't even last a minute!"

Li Yang shook her head and said, "Not necessarily."

Lin Zhaoqin became increasingly unconvinced. Although she did not refute Li Yang, she was filled with the thought that her senior sister was a prodigy. She would not compare herself to her, but no one else could possibly last as long as her!

Li Yang's second contact was Yu Hongyuan.

The reason they didn't go looking for Zhong Kun and the others was that although Zhong Kun's talent was lower than Lin Zhaoqin's, the difference wasn't that significant, and the voices they heard should be roughly the same.

Yu Hongyuan was extremely serious, and asked carefully, "Senior sister, are there any things I need to pay attention to? Do I need to remember anything in particular? Should I persevere a little longer? Or should I stop if I feel unwell?"

His questions were so detailed and his attitude so formal that Li Yang was speechless for a moment.

She thought for a moment and said, "Try to figure out what it's making noise about. Don't force it. If you can't stand it, just give up meditating."

Yu Hongyuan kept every word his senior sister said in mind, and after accurately aligning the granularity, he began testing the Noisy Pot.

Lin Zhaoqin was more attentive than Li Yang, his gaze fixed intently on Yu Hongyuan.

She bet he wouldn't last a minute!

Two minutes passed, three minutes passed, four minutes passed... Lin Zhaoqin's face was full of surprise.

At the sixth minute, Yu Hongyuan couldn't hold on any longer. He opened his eyes, pale, and said, "Senior sister, I can't hear what it said. I just feel that the sound is very loud. It's not like a scream or a roar. It's like someone is constantly talking, trying to force it into my head, making my brain hurt."

Yu Hongyuan, as expected of a diligent and professional subordinate, described things in great detail, which helped Li Yang understand the situation better.

Li Yang nodded with great satisfaction, Yu Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief, beaming with joy.

Lin Zhaoqin retorted, unconvinced, "How could you last six minutes!"

Yu Hongyuan: "Is six minutes a lot?"

Lin Zhaoqin: "..."

She was so angry her liver hurt, and she said to Li Yang, "Senior sister, I'll try again!"

Li Yang said, "No rush, let's try going to find our third senior brother again."

Among the three old farmers, Lü Shunshun has the best talent, while Xia Putao has the worst.

If Xia Putao can persist for longer, it will confirm Li Yang's conjecture that the noise of the Noisy Pot is related to talent.

They found Xia Putao together, and Xia Putao, without saying a word, began to meditate.

Lin Zhaoqin continued to stare intently at Xia Putao.

Six minutes later, Yu Hongyuan also began to look surprised.

Xia Putao held out for a full 15 minutes before opening her eyes. "No, although the sound isn't particularly loud, it's really distracting, and it's hard to concentrate anymore."

Lin Zhaoqin was stunned. "Not particularly big?"

She was straightforward but quick-witted, and soon realized something was wrong.

After asking each of the three people how they felt about holding the Noisy Pot, Li Yang concluded, "Everyone's feelings about the Noisy Pot are different; those with higher talent seem to have stronger feelings about it."

If you look at this Noisy Pot from another angle, it could be considered a talent test, just not very accurate.

Lin Zhaoqin then understood, and she breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "No wonder I only lasted three minutes." Her tone was tinged with smugness.

But she quickly realized something was wrong and looked at Li Yang, saying, "Wait a minute, Senior Sister, you lasted for 30 minutes!"

What happened to the rule that the higher the talent, the louder the noise?

Senior sister, shouldn't this be the noisiest one?!

Without waiting for Li Yang's reply, Yu Hongyuan exclaimed with admiration, "Senior Sister is amazing! The noise you heard must have been even louder than Lin Zhaoqin's, yet you managed to hold out for 30 minutes!"

Lin Zhaoqin: "..."

The once-proud and prickly thing instantly wilted.

Lin Zhaoqin believed Yu Hongyuan's words without a doubt.

Because Li Yang's talent is obvious to all, he is undoubtedly the number one in the Nature Department.

However, given her already high talent, she also possesses such amazing endurance.

She lost. Lin Zhaoqin lost miserably.

Li Yang: "..." There was a strange sense of helplessness, like "I can't clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Although she had determined the properties of the Noisy Pot, she still couldn't find its true working effect.

It can't be used to assess talent, can it?

This identification method is just too painful!

Suddenly, an idea struck Li Yang, and he asked Lianxin, "Lianxin, would you like to give it a try?"

Lianxin obediently replied, "Okay."

Li Yang placed the Noisy Pot into the little doll's arms.

The Lianxin is always in a meditative state because it is constantly "playing dead".

Li Yang was curious whether, since she shared the same feelings as Lianxin, she could also hear what Lianxin heard.

When it comes to talent, Lianxin's level is exceptional, even surpassing that of other species.

Perhaps the sounds Lianxin heard were even more unbearable than Lin Zhaoqin's, and Li Yang was already mentally prepared.

"Foolish humans! Filthy humans! Let me out right now!"

Li Yang did indeed hear the sound; it wasn't noisy at all, but rather exceptionally clear.

Li Yang looked at the Noisy Pot in surprise. The light spots on it were flashing, and now, looking at it again, she felt a sense of rage.

"I'm getting out of here! And once I'm out, I'm going to wipe you all out!"
