Chapter 17
C17 – A New Experience
The hushed conversations reached Zhou Hong’s ears. She pivoted and addressed them icily,
“Cease your whispered discussions. Concentrate on your tasks.”
After Zhou Hong’s reprimand, she collected Jiang Hao’s test paper and made her way back to the podium.
On another front, Jiang Hao slipped out of the classroom when he spotted an opportunity. Leaving the school premises, he headed straight to Tianhai Hospital to visit his father.
Arriving at his father’s hospital room, Jiang Hao was greeted by the sight of his parents happily arranging their belongings.
His sudden appearance elicited mild surprise from his parents. Jiang’s mother inquired.
“Why are you here?”
Jiang Hao had already devised an explanation beforehand.
“Finished the exam early today, so I dropped by to see Dad.”
His words were enough to convince Jiang’s father and mother.
“How did you do?”
Jiang Hao responded honestly, “I did well.”
Then he inquired, “What’s the reason for your joy?”
It was at this moment that Jiang’s mother chimed in happily.
“Today, the doctor conducted another examination on your father. He’s made a full recovery from his illness.
Your father even mentioned that his long-standing headache has vanished.
We’re allowed to leave the hospital now. Needless to say, we’re elated.”
Jiang’s father joined in, confirming, “What your mother said is accurate.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao felt a surge of happiness too.
They gathered their belongings and completed the necessary paperwork. After bidding farewell to their fellow patients, they headed home.
In the evening, following the conclusion of Jiang Hao’s school day.
“Soong Wan’s birthday is coming up tomorrow. What should I get him?”
Jiang Hao was seated in the garden outside, his gaze fixed on the moon above as he pondered.
“The system has both a decomposition and synthesis feature, right? Having experienced decomposition, I wonder what this synthesis capability entails.”
“But what should I synthesize?”
Surveying his surroundings, Jiang Hao found no materials available.
Eventually, he picked up two small stones.
“Ding! Two stones found. Would you like to combine them?”
“Let’s attempt a synthesis using these two stones.”
Jiang Hao didn’t hold high expectations. After all, they were merely two stones. What significant item could they possibly be transformed into?
With this mindset, Jiang Hao continued to contemplate.
“Combine.”
“‘Ding… Synthesis successful. Acquired a mid-grade Green Jade, skill points 0.’ Experience 0.3.”
“Would you like to extract it?”
Suddenly, a green luminous orb materialized within Jiang Hao’s consciousness.
Directing his focus onto the green luminous orb, Jiang Hao received a mental notification.
Mid-grade Green Jade: Valued at five hundred Yuan.
“Two stones actually combined into a mid-grade Green Jade, worth five hundred Yuan.”
This revelation left Jiang Hao utterly astonished.
“Extract.”
In his heart, Jiang Hao urgently called out.
In the next instant, he sensed something smooth and rounded in his hand.
Jiang Hao lowered his gaze and discovered a luminous green jade stone resting in his palm.
Jiang Hao seized the green jade with intense excitement.
“I’m going to be rich.”
He promptly stored the green jade within his personal space. Following that, he spotted three more stones on the ground and gripped them in his hand.
“Combine.”
“‘Ding… Fusion attempt unsuccessful. You have gained a piece of yellow soil. Skill points gained: 0.1. Experience gained: 0.1.'”
The three stones in Jiang Hao’s hands instantaneously crumbled into dust, slipping through his fingers.
This left Jiang Hao rather perplexed.
“System, show yourself. What happened to my jade?”
Jiang Hao’s voice was tinged with frustration.
“Ding! Host, the super decomposition and synthesis system carries a certain degree of success, be it decomposition or synthesis. Naturally, failure is also a possibility.
Concurrently, there’s a certain likelihood whether the decomposition or synthesis will yield something valuable.”
