Diligence Perfects a Craft, Practice Makes Perfect, and That's Why Gu Chen Built Such Good Houses
What does this mean?
Upon seeing the notification on the light screen, Lu Changzhi was slightly taken aback.
"Return to host." The system voice announced.
"I'm looking for feasible solutions, which may take some time."
"The Dust-Cleansing Sacred Fruit?"
Lu Changzhi murmured softly, then suddenly remembered the system's recent business trip, and subconsciously said:
"If it's this troublesome, why don't we just forget about it for now?"
"No."
The system's answer was firm and decisive:
"I've decided that in this matter, I must satisfy my master!"
Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.
He pondered this in his heart.
Did you stimulate the system something just now?
To be fair, I never said the system was faulty.
After pondering for a while, a "1%" message suddenly appeared after the previous message on the screen.
Lu Changzhi stared at it for a while.
Perhaps this matter was indeed quite difficult, taking a long time to reach "2%".
"This looks like it will require a serious evaluation and take a long time."
Shaking his head slightly, Lu Changzhi put away the light screen and did not wait any longer.
Until midnight.
A crisp sound from the system woke Lu Changzhi up.
Still half-asleep, Lu Changzhi heard a system notification:
"System application evaluation complete. Current status: Executable."
"Is it really possible?"
An idea flashed through Lu Changzhi's mind.
Immediately afterwards, the system's voice sounded:
"Please wait a moment, Master. I'll be right back."
After the sound faded, the system returned to calm.
The system is away on another business trip.
"I'll be right back; maybe I'll be fine after I wake up."
With a soft whisper, Lu Changzhi went back to sleep.
In that half-asleep, half-awake state, everything seemed to be happening in a dream.
The following morning.
Lu Changzhi sat up in bed, suddenly remembering this matter, and called out, "..."
"System?"
There was no response.
Then, Lu Changzhi entered the system and checked the notification records.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Changzhi's eyes widened, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.
The ingredients have been refreshed again.
This is just a comparison to the normalcy of the recent period.
This time, it was a little...
The notification is as follows:
"Random ingredients have been refreshed. This time, you have obtained: one ton of Saint Rank Mid Grade High-Quality Spinach."
At first glance, Lu Changzhi sensed something was amiss.
There were vegetables before, but their quality was relatively limited, mostly Spirit Rank and Heaven Grade.
But this time, it actually reached the Saint Rank Mid Grade.
As you read on, something became even more amiss.
At that moment, Lu Changzhi went to check the system repository.
Faced with the abundance of lush green spinach that, if all of it were removed, could easily burst Gu Chen's hut, Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.
"Could it be that this and the Idle System take turns?"
A guess popped into Lu Changzhi's mind.
After all, the nearby AFK rewards are a rare occurrence, and the units are back to normal.
The ingredients turned out like this instead.
However, even if there are many...
After all, he's someone who's seen a bit of the world.
Soon, Lu Changzhi's attention fell on the introduction.
[Premium Spinach]: A Saint Rank Mid Grade ingredient. Green and healthy, delicious and beneficial, it stimulates the body and enhances strength. After consumption, it significantly increases upper body strength in a short period, the duration depending on the quantity consumed. It can also provide a very small, long-term boost to physical strength. It can be made into canned spinach, steamed spinach, stir-fried spinach, etc.
After reading the introduction, Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment.
Does this seem somewhat familiar?
"If Gu Chen were here, he would really like to increase my strength."
Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment.
However, it's clear that we can't eat it right now.
Of course, it didn't have much of an impact.
After all, before he left, Gu Chen had Luo Ling'er and Black Dragon work overtime to make a lot of flavorful jerky, fearing that he would go hungry while on his training trip.
It's almost lunchtime anyway.
Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi headed towards the kitchen.
Speaking of which, the kitchen nowadays is quite proper and is no longer the open-air place it used to be.
All of this is thanks to Gu Chen.
"Diligence leads to mastery, and practice makes perfect; these are indeed universally applicable."
Looking at the renovated kitchen, Lu Changzhi murmured something.
When Gu Chen first went into Hidden Origin Peak, the houses he built were of extremely limited quality.
Later, whenever he attempted cultivation or breakthroughs while indoors, the house would either explode or collapse.
And so it goes, in this endless cycle.
When it comes to housing construction capabilities...
Gu Chen must be the leader of Hidden Origin Peak.
They all developed this through their own practice.
Just then, Luo Ling'er's voice came from afar:
"Master, are you hungry?"
Lu Changzhi came to his senses and looked over, then smiled and said:
"Did you finish so early today?"
"Yes."
Luo Ling'er nodded:
"Something seemed to be going on there today, so it ended early."
As she spoke, she walked over to Lu Changzhi's side, flipped her hand, and took out a small iron figure.
"Master, look, this is how I hit you."
Hearing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile and looked down.
The small doll, no bigger than a palm, is entirely black. Although it has a somewhat unrefined and simple design, you can still see the thick eyebrows and big eyes carved on it.
Lu Changzhi reached out and took it, then saw Luo Ling'er looking at him expectantly and saying:
"So, Master, do you like it?"
"Of course," Lu Changzhi laughed heartily, "I naturally like what my disciple made for me."
"Great! Master likes Ling'er's work!"
A flash of joy crossed Luo Ling'er's eyes; she was very excited.
After the initial excitement subsided, Luo Ling'er seemed to remember something, her expression turned shy, and she scratched her head:
"However, Ling'er hasn't yet learned the methods they taught me for controlling power."
"Otherwise, we could definitely have done better."
"Don't rush, take your time, you'll get there eventually." Lu Changzhi smiled and reached out to rub Luo Ling'er's head.
"Um."
Luo Ling'er nodded very seriously, then, as if remembering something, asked:
"Master, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Lu Changzhi nodded, waved his arm, and a portion of spinach appeared to the side.
Luo Ling'er's eyes lit up immediately:
"This looks so fresh!"
Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled:
Let's do it today.
Luo Ling'er agreed and then got to work.
Lu Changzhi raised his hand and glanced at the iron puppet. For some reason, he suddenly recalled Xu Kun's feelings back then.
The child has grown up.
Soon, it was almost noon.
Cang Wenyu and Xu Kun arrived as promised.
The two arrived before the food was served.
After a moment, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he turned his head to look.
Li Yi also rushed over.
Upon arriving, Li Yi was taken aback to see Xu Kun and Cang Wenyu sitting upright.
"You two actually came to Hidden Origin Peak to freeload a meal?!"
Upon seeing Li Yi, Cang Wenyu was somewhat surprised and smiled:
"Lord Li, didn't you say you had no such plans? Why are you here today?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yi shook his head:
"Of course not, I'm here for Changzhi, not like the two of you."
