Chapter 67 - Life Evolution Failed?
After a quick thought, Su Yang decided to go with the point-adding first.
‘I’ll have to see what I get from the point-adding. If it’s something good, I’ll show a little mercy to that bolster. If it’s something bad…Hmm, the villa seems a little dirty.’
He tossed Little Hus to Gru and told Gru to bind him down. He even specifically told Gru to shut Little Hus’ doggy mouth so that he could concentrate on adding the point to the ginseng.
[Wild Ginseng]
[Remark: A wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain that has been in the mountains for 15 years.]
It was rare for the system to provide a remark for an item before the point was added, thus it raised Su Yang’s anticipation for the ginseng.
He softly tapped on the [+] sign on the upper right.
The ginseng suddenly shone brightly, and amidst the dazzling shine, Su Yang heard an odd sound. It was the sound of a growing heartbeat!
Su Yang was skeptical when he looked at Little Hus. “Are you being serious right now?”
The husky on the bolster nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, I am! I am! We are all products of Life Evolution, so of course, we can understand each other!”
“Deeny!” Su Yang called loudly.
Deeny flew down from the second floor with the rabbit with wings. “Yes, Master?”
“Can you understand Gru?”
Deeny shook her head in a cute manner.
Su Yang looked back to Little Hus and grinned. “Hehe.”
Little Hus struggled and argued “I can! I can understand the twig! I swear!”
“I’d be an idiot if I believe you!”
After beating Little Hus up, Su Yang tossed the bolster into a pail of water and made it clean the villa again. He was not allowed to sleep before every corner of the villa was spotless.
Since Little Hus was living under Su Yang’s roof and even considered himself grounded, he accepted his fate and cleaned the villa.
Su Yang then named the ginseng Sanque, which meant three imperfections or three missing parts in Chinese.
Why Sanque? Because of the failed Life Evolution, the simple intellect, and the lack of mindfulness.
He picked this name because it would sound a lot better than ‘Erque’, which meant two imperfections and sounded very similar to a vulgarity.
On top of that, the Chinese character of ‘ginseng’ had three strokes in it that resembled the character ‘three’. Su Yang named it based on the resemblance of the character.
Sanque moved into Gru’s little flower pot and the only use of the ginseng that Su Yang could come up with at the moment was saving his own life if he chugged 500 ml of ’82 Chateau Laffite.
Thankfully, he did not have the red wine yet, so he was not in a hurry.
After the point-adding session, he washed up and went to bed.
On the morning of the second day, the system notification woke him up.
[Beep! Silver Mission stage statistics.]
Su Yang opened his blurry eyes and went blank for a full minute, but he still did not know what had happened. In the end, the system had to notify him for a second time to completely wake him up.
‘Silver Mission stage statistics?’
Confused, Su Yang tapped on the button.
[March’s Silver Mission stage statistics.]
[Mission Duration: 15 days.]
[Personal Profit: 2,478.]
[Company Profit: 7,510.]
[Company Value: 0]
[Mission Completion: 1%]
[Remark: Young man, have you sleeping for the past two weeks?]
Su Yang blinked helplessly at the remark. ‘Is the system insulting me? I’m saving up a little by little and sharpening my skills to build my business empire! If I don’t have a steady base, how can my empire stand strong!?’
However, time had really flown by in the blink of an eye. Su Yang pondered about the duration and realized that it had been half a month since he accepted his Silver Mission.
Time was a surreal concept and a magical thing that could slip by without one noticing.
A twelfth of his mission duration was gone and he had only achieved 1% completion of the mission.
‘I guess I’ll have to work harder.’
