CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 452: RING

Mu Jianling gave Ji You a sidelong glance and said, "It’s not fun, so dream less."

Ji You muttered softly, "Not even letting people dream, how cruel is that?"

Just after muttering, Mu Jianling’s chilly voice came from behind, "Cruel?"

Ji You jolted her head like a rattle drum, "No no no... You are gentle, kind, beautiful, merciful, generous, appropriate, charming, and elegant..."

Mu Jianling snorted coldly, "Stop flattering."

Ji You shut her mouth, not daring to blabber anymore.

Dr. Luo finished reviewing all the examination data and confirmed that Ji You’s recovery was good, then said with a smile, "All fixed, you didn’t waste your 50,000 points."

Thinking of the painful loss of 50,000 points and the balance in her account, Ji You could no longer smile.

Now, she’s only got 251 points left.

And—

What about the credit points?

The balance in the credit points was too low to even look at, on the contrary, she owed Teacher Mu Jianling a lot of credit points. Last time, she bought 150,000 Candy Beans on credit, and now, she signed a contract...

Yingyingying~

The more she thought about it, the more Ji You felt her financial prospects were bleak.

While Ji You was in absolute despair, a glint suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. Looking up, she saw Dr. Luo passing her a ring.

Ji You was stunned, "Teacher Luo... what is this?"

Dr. Luo, with a sidelong glance at Mu Jianling and realizing that Mu Jianling, with arms crossed, wasn’t paying any attention here, sighed softly but still wore a gentle and approachable smile, saying, "It’s a High-level Soul Device from Teacher Mu."

Ji You’s eyes widened instantly, "!!!"

High-level Soul Device!

Seeing the shocked Ji You, Dr. Luo said with a smile, "How about it? Did you sign the contract right?"

Ji You was so moved she didn’t know what to say...

In her excitement, Ji You suddenly jumped up and rushed to Mu Jianling, intending to hug her thighs but, catching Mu Jianling’s dangerous gaze, Ji You forcibly restrained herself. Still, she couldn’t help but shout, "Teacher! Do you still want the contract? I can sign another one with you! No! I can sign 10 more!"

Mu Jianling: "..."

Dr. Luo: "..."

Dr. Luo burst out laughing, nearly falling over.

Mu Jianling raised her hand and knocked heavily on Ji You’s head, annoyed, she scolded, "You think you are Sun Wukong who can transform 72 times! You want to sell yourself twice with this sorry state? Dream on!"

Ji You, holding her head, chuckled and said, "I’m just casually dreaming."

Signing one contract to get a High-level Soul Device, signing two would mean two devices, wouldn’t it?

If such a good thing were to happen, not to mention signing two or three, she’d be willing to sign a hundred, even ten thousand.

Ji You’s joke at this moment dispelled the inexplicably melancholic and sad atmosphere that lingered in the medical room between Mu Jianling and Dr. Luo.

Dr. Luo carefully advised, "Although this High-level Soul Device is very stable in structure, you still need to be careful when using it. Try to connect with it using your spiritual power during your spare time, and remember—every Soul Device has a certain lifespan. This one has been nourished by Teacher Mu with spiritual power, so it can last 50 years without crashing. With careful usage, another 10 years should be no problem."

Having said that, Dr. Luo, not reassured, explained the instructions to Ji You once more.

Ji You listened very seriously. She dared not be careless at all—after all, this was a High-level Soul Device, invaluable and priceless. Once it’s listed on the Star Network, it would undoubtedly provoke a frantic scramble from countless people...

Moreover, Ji You was already deeply interested in making Soul Devices and was eager to create her own High-level Soul Device someday. Now that she had a real-life model at hand, she naturally wanted to take extra care of it...

Then—

In front of Dr. Luo and Teacher Mu Jianling, Ji You cautiously took over the ring, and following the steps taught by Dr. Luo, she first tried to release her spiritual power—

Previously, with the help of Spiritual Silk, she could precisely control the use of her spiritual power threshold, but now with her spirit severely damaged and the Spiritual Silk nowhere to be found, Ji You struggled for a long time and managed to release just a tiny bit of her spiritual power threshold.

Even that had her drenched in sweat.

Dr. Luo softly said, "Don’t rush, take it slow."

Ji You bit by bit, kept her spiritual power lingering on the ring. The ring, which was a simple, plain circle, gave off slight hints of reflected light. Judging solely by appearances, one could never tell this was a priceless High-level Soul Device.

Incidentally, it quite resembled the Clover Ring that Ji You had specially designed for Senior Shi Ya, which was an incredible coincidence.

Ji You felt quite emotional inside.

However, a High-level Soul Device is just that. As soon as she came close, Ji You felt an immense, vast, and boundless spiritual power circulating inside it. This robust spirit immediately captivated all of Ji You’s attention, leaving her completely spellbound.

As Ji You’s weak, battered spirit drew near, in an instant, the continuously flowing spiritual power inside the ring poured out like floodwaters released from a sluice, violently flooding into Ji You’s Spiritual World—

The bridge connecting the High-level Soul Device with Ji You’s Spiritual World, her weak, pitiful spirit, fragile as a silk thread and easily snapped, encountered several perilous situations under this torrent, almost breaking apart—yet, it managed to hold each time.

Ji You’s Spiritual World was impacted, rendering her completely stunned, motionless...

Dr. Luo and Mu Jianling noticed something was off, and Mu Jianling furrowed her brows, "What’s happening?"

She was about to remove the ring when Dr. Luo immediately raised his hand, stopping Mu Jianling, saying, "Don’t move! Her spirit is connected to the High-level Soul Device. Forcibly detaching it now would cause irreparable damage to her spirit."

Mu Jian’s hands trembled slightly as she withdrew them.

Watching the changes between Ji You and the ring, Dr. Luo frowned seriously and muttered, "This shouldn’t be happening."

The second after Dr. Luo spoke, the originally plain ring suddenly shone brilliantly, lighting up the entire medical room like daylight. However, this abnormal brightness was momentary, and soon, the light from the ring vanished without a trace.

At the same time, the entire ring turned a dusty gray, appearing like a rusty iron ring...

Dr. Luo was somewhat dumbfounded by this scene, "How could this be?"

Mu Jian was also bewildered, "What’s going on?"

"I’m not quite sure either, but I suspect it might be..." Dr. Luo slightly opened his mouth, about to say something when suddenly, Ji You, who had been motionless, slightly furrowed her brow and gently opened her eyes...
