The Pitiful Girl She Picked Up Turned Out to Be a Cruel and Vicious Beauty Love’s Education (Chapter 27)
Ye Sheng looked at the small black box in her hand, raising her eyebrows in slight surprise. She'd been tailing them these past few days, but hadn't witnessed the transaction between Gu Luoyu and Dr. Na Nali...
Looks like her surveillance and investigation skills still needed improvent!
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Ye Sheng moved slowly, making Dr. Na Nali waiting beside her extrely anxious, so much that he almost wanted to open the box himself. After so many years in research, this project was undoubtedly his finest work.
Dr. Na Nali couldn't help but muse: truly great research required even better materials.
If it wasn't for fear of Gu Luoyu finding out, he'd even consider secretly smuggling so materials away to conduct further experints back at base.
Unfortunately...
He knew espers had various applications for their psychic energy. Especially soone like Gu Luoyu, a top-tier powerhouse who wielded psychic energy with masterful precision, she could even use it for surveillance.
In that case, the mont Dr. Na Nali tried hiding anything, Gu Luoyu would burst through the door the next second and give him a severe beating.
Fortunately, the research funding still allows access to so rare materials, keeping Dr. Na Nali from feeling too disheartened and enabling him to work diligently.
Just as Dr. Na Nali began salivating over thoughts of those rare materials, Ye Sheng finally opened the black box. Inside, a red ring lay quietly.
The ring's design wasn't flashy or elaborate, quite plain and simple, yet for so reason, rely looking at it sent an instinctive wave of fear rising from deep within.
Ye Sheng hesitated briefly, then slowly reached out and picked up the ring.
[Detected special attribute item. Would you like to recycle? Recycling price increased to 100x.]
The next second, upon hearing the Lottery Space notification in her ear, Ye Sheng froze montarily before quickly rejecting the recycle option.
Seriously? A hundredfold increase in points? Clearly, this was no ordinary item.
In fact, it truly wasn't ordinary.
Within seconds of holding the ring, her palm felt a faint warmth, as if a single drop of water had fallen into the ocean, sending ripples outward that steadily expanded.
Simultaneously, a familiar sense of comfort enveloped her entire body. It was like basking under warm sunlight, her previously tired body miraculously transford into one brimming with energy.
She felt like running a hundred laps just to burn off the excess vitality.
Thanks to her pet Little White's healing magic, Ye Sheng imdiately recognized the ring's function: it replenished life force, an excellent item that even made her unborn baby feel incredibly comfortable.
Truly a pillow sent when one's feeling drowsy!
Although Little White's healing magic was effective, the little one had just hatched recently and couldn't use it multiple tis. Now with this ring as backup, she'd never have to worry about lacking life force again!
Thinking this, Ye Sheng cherished the ring, turning it over and examining it carefully before quickly putting it on her finger. Her mind imdiately drifted to Gu Luoyu, who had gone to a eting.
Being cared for felt wonderful.
The slight anger Ye Sheng had felt earlier completely lted away.
Regardless of Gu Luoyu's recent secretive behavior, this red ring alone deserves serious praise.
“How is it, how is it? This ring is amazing, right? Truly worthy of , creating such a wondrous item capable of accelerated wound recovery. If we could mass-produce it, the base could absolutely...”
Seeing that Ye Sheng appreciated the item, Dr. Na Nali imdiately began excitedly gesturing and dancing about.
The lenses of his glasses glinted with intense light!
He'd even started fantasizing about the future, eager to return to base imdiately and officially launch further research. Then, he might even create sothing even more powerful!
But before Dr. Na Nali could continue dreaming, Ye Sheng rcilessly shattered his fantasy by saying, “Doctor, I didn't notice this ring frantically wound healing. I just felt more energetic when wearing it. Also, the material used to make this ring isn't ordinary, right? Do you really think it's mass-producible?”
“...”
Ye Sheng's words instantly brought Dr. Na Nali crashes back to earth. He sobbed regretfully and admitted, “Indeed, the main material for this ring is extrely rare. I estimate I can only make one in my entire lifeti.”
Sighing again, Dr. Na Nali couldn't help complaining, “I wonder just how terrifying Gu Luoyu's current strength is, actually obtaining body parts from a polluted creature ranked at least S as materials. In the future, better not provoke her under any circumstances!”
Ye Sheng: ...
She seed to have found the reason.
But wasn't certain.
Ye Sheng silently looked up at Dr. Na Nali and gently asked, “Is the material for this ring really that rare? What exactly is it made of?”
“Hard to say. The material Gu Luoyu brought was fragnted. But from my observations, even these small fragnts indicate the contamination creature must have been enormous... ahem, Ye Sheng, you see, if possible, could we discuss it later? The research institute can definitely offer a satisfactory price.”
Case solved!
Gu Luoyu's recent abnormality was due to fighting polluted creatures.
At first, Ye Sheng hadn't completely ruled out this possibility. But since Gu Luoyu was an esper, as long as she used energy stones to recover, any severe wound could be fully healed.
Thus, Ye Sheng quickly dismissed this theory and turned to suspecting whether Gu Luoyu herself had so internal issues... But it turned out her initial suspicion was correct after all. Yet the fact that even an esper couldn't recover quickly from such wounds showed just how intense and dangerous the battle must have been!
No wonder she'd kept it hidden!
Ye Sheng angrily imagined making a voodoo doll. anwhile, Dr. Na Nali beside her continued his endless chatter, buzzing like a bee and becoming increasingly annoying, prompting Ye Sheng to imdiately raise her hand and stop him.
“Doctor, I'm sorry. These materials were obtained by Gu Luoyu. I can't make decisions on them. And even if I could, items acquired at the risk of one's life are priceless in my eyes. They won't be sold.”
At this mont, Ye Sheng only wanted to find Gu Luoyu as quickly as possible and have a serious “talk” with her.
To deliver a proper “love's education.”
And as if they shared a telepathic connection, Gu Luoyu, who had originally gone to a eting, suddenly appeared before her eyes. Ye Sheng couldn't help grinding her teeth, her smile especially radiant.
Not even thinking that Dr. Na Nali was still present, Ye Sheng lunged straight at Gu Luoyu.
The next second, she grabbed Gu Luoyu's beautiful face with both hands, pulling her cheeks outward as she sarcastically said, “Oh? Look who it is, the incredibly busy Gu Luoyu. Had fun fighting deep-sea polluted creatures last night? Finally decided to co back?”
