Douluo: Cutting me drops treasures; Bi Bidong got addicted

The red iron skin of the big truck instantly revealed a layer of transparent, scale-like texture; these scales undulated up and down, giving a sensation of movement.

The beastly roar grew louder at this moment, and the two headlights in front of the truck abruptly turned into terrifying vertical pupils!

Even the lights turned a ghostly green, the lighting around dimmed down, and the eerie green became the main color scheme of the scene. A gigantic python head slowly emerged from the front of the truck, its neck almost as thick as the entire vehicle.

The python wriggled its body, extending longer and longer as it gradually coiled around the truck, eventually resting its head on the roof, neck curved and raised high, its cold vertical pupils staring at the people around.

The light remained dim, with only the strange green visible; the environment was eerily quiet, with only the deep hissing of the python to be heard.

This gave the feeling as if someone had agitated the ancient banyan within the truck, and the huge python coiled on top was ready to immediately leap out and devour the provocateur's head!

Gu Rong got out of the truck, amazed, and looked back to see the python's head stretching towards him and gently encircling him inside its coils, still staring at the onlookers, obviously in a protective mode for Gu Rong.

"This is good, this is good."

Gu Rong smiled and patted the python's head, and at that moment, the dimmed lighting returned to brightness. Perhaps the python, feeling comfortable from its owner's touch, released its previously vigilant state.

Chen Xin: "Didn't you also raise a dragon?"

Gu Rong's mouth quirked up in a smug expression of a winner in life.

"Right!"

He raised his right hand, and a loud dragon's roar filled the scene; suddenly, a huge and fierce dragon head appeared behind him. The entire head was pitch-black, nearly twice as large as that of the python, and it shook its head with the whiskers floating in the wind; its deep growl was akin to the sound of war drums.

The dragon coiled around Gu Rong, casting a haughty glance at the python. However, surprisingly, despite the python being half the size, its aura was in no way inferior to the other.

The two sleek and powerful beasts intertwined as they circled around Gu Rong, causing the onlookers to sigh in admiration.

Chen Xin smacked his lips: "This kid is damn enviable!"

Gu Rong was extremely pleased, he retracted the truck and the dragon, and then clapped his hands together, a look of satisfaction on his face.

He then stretched out his hand again, and a small brown bottle appeared in his palm.

This was the last advertisement product that could be refreshed today.

Following the example of the previous two, he once again recited the advertisement slogan.

"Why chase after me, because you have a cough syrup..."

Gu Rong turned the bottle to see that it indeed had four characters written on the front: Cough Syrup.

"Drinking more than twenty milliliters of this item at one time grants the temporary ability to command any feline-type soul beast under ten thousand years old for one day, without a limit on the number of soul beasts."

This is the effect after the magical modification of the product.

"What does feline-type soul beast mean?"

Gu Rong asked.

Lin Yi: "Tigers, leopards, cats, lions and the like, those are soul beasts."

"I see!"

Gu Rong shook the bottle in his hand and brought it closer to look at it. He found the liquid's color inside to be quite odd, and he couldn't help frowning in curiosity, "Senior, what was this thing's original function?"

"It's for treating coughs."

"Then how did it get connected with feline-type soul beasts?"

Lin Yi: "..."

If you're asking me why the advertisement was designed to show a woman being chased by a leopard, and the leopard's goal is the cough syrup… then all I can say is I have no clue either.

But this advertisement was just so popular, that for a while Lin Yi really believed that leopards liked to drink Kwik-E-Sugar Syrup.

Gu Rong didn't open the bottle to drink, and although he didn't quite understand the milliliter markings, there were scales on the bottle, a hundred per bottle, and according to the instructions, you were only allowed five servings, so he decided not to waste it so easily.

He put away the Kwik-E-Sugar Syrup and requested instructions from Lin Yi for today's second attack. The process of the second attack was still very brief, the Air Cannon had low consumption and high damage, which Gu Rong now liked using a lot.

Lin Yi looked at the results of the second attack.

[Blood Lost: 534325]

[Remaining Health: 883014636538]

[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]

[Random Reward: Awakened Spirit]

[Host Reward: Awakened Spirit]

Artifact Spirit seems to have appeared more than once, but the term 'Artifact Spirit' is relatively broad; previously, it was referred to as 'Sword Spirit'.

It goes without saying, a Sword Spirit is definitely an Artifact Spirit, but not all Artifact Spirits are Sword Spirits.

After reading the comments on the reward, Lin Yi said to Gu Rong, "Damage 534325, Golden Junior, your reward is the awakening of an Artifact Spirit."

As he spoke, two golden light spots appeared in his hand, surprising Gu Rong.

"Two rewards?"

Lin Yi shook his head, "No, one is an additional reward. Without this additional reward, you wouldn't be able to use the main reward 'Awakened Spirit'. The additional reward is called 'Age Identification Skill'."

After saying that, he flicked both golden light spots toward Gu Rong.

Lin Yi: "Awakening an Artifact Spirit means granting a sentient nature to an otherwise inanimate object, allowing it to possess a spirit form. The spirit form that appears usually has skills, similar to Chen Xin's Sword Spirit Gan Jiang."

"However, the capacity of your Awakened Spirit can't be applied to all items, it must be on antiques over five hundred years old."

Gu Rong was startled, "Antiques?"

Lin Yi was also surprised, "Do they also talk about antiques in Soul Land?"

"Of course, as for old things, there are many at the auction house, some people like collecting them. Items over five hundred years old can indeed be considered antiques and have a certain value for collection."

The essence of the reward was that antiques could give birth to a Sword Spirit. Since the two worlds had similarities in culture, Lin Yi didn't need to explain too much.

Lin Yi: "In plain terms, only antiques over five hundred years old can awaken an Artifact Spirit, and you must first be able to identify the approximate age of the item with an error of no more than a hundred years, to truly awaken it."

Gu Rong nodded; perhaps because he had assimilated the additional reward, he felt his appraisal skills were at an expert level.

"Hey, I happen to have a jade pendant, can you tell how old it is?"

Chen Xin called out from behind and flipped a small emerald green object toward him.

Gu Rong caught it in his hand, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Wow, brother, this item opens doors, huh?"

Chen Xin: "What? Opens what?"

He was utterly confused.

Lin Yi didn't understand either, but he knew this additional appraisal ability was borrowed by the System from someone on the Blue Planet, supposedly called 'Tingquan Appraisal'. Perhaps it was some sort of professional jargon; he already wasn't familiar with the current state of the internet, so it was normal not to understand.

Chen Xin: "Just tell me how many years old it is, can it awaken an Artifact Spirit?"

Gu Rong smacked his lips: "Around two thousand three hundred years, it can awaken!"
