Chapter 1492: Chapter 1492: Successful Creation
Ji You cut another Companion Stone into six equally-sized thin slices. After finishing this, Ji You tidied up the desk and, once the workbench was clean and organized, continued working.
She believed that it wasn’t the stone slabs that couldn’t withstand her spiritual power, but rather her inappropriate use of spiritual power. She needed to pay attention to precise control.
Ji You picked up the carving knife beside her and called out, "Old Five—"
As soon as she spoke, Ji You suddenly changed her mind and said, "Fourth, you come!"
Fourth was perched on Sixth’s head, but Sixth didn’t like carrying him, so he shook his head vigorously. However, Fourth was sticky like a band-aid and couldn’t be shaken off. Just then, upon hearing his Master’s voice, Fourth slipped and fell off Sixth’s head.
Thud!
As the entire silk fell, Fourth flicked his tail, stabilizing himself in mid-air, then grimaced and complained: [Ah, ah! Master almost killed Four-Four!]
The fall was caused by Sixth, but if he blamed his Master, there might be a chance to score a Candy Bean for some comfort.
As it turned out, Fourth was dreaming.
Ji You said, "Didn’t die, right? If you didn’t die, hurry over and get to work!"
Fourth: [...]
Fourth covered his face: [Yingyingying... Master is so heartless.]
Ji You held the carving knife, starting along the pre-drawn outline, carving the first cut, as Fourth followed Ji You’s rhythm. As Ji You applied slight pressure, Fourth immediately coordinated.
Having switched to a different Spiritual Silk, Ji You noticed a clear improvement; she carved without any stiffness or halting, completing the entire diagram smoothly and seamlessly!
Ji You stopped her hand and nervously stared at the stone block. On the pitch-black stone block, a distinct pattern gradually formed. Just as the triangle fully revealed itself to Ji You, suddenly, with a crack, the entire stone slab shattered.
Ji You: "???"
Fourth: [!!!]
The entire silk of Fourth was bewildered!
[Impossible!]
[Absolutely impossible!]
[How could Four-Four fail? Four-Four is the invincible silk of the Universe!!!]
...
The first failure left Fourth’s entire silk unable to accept it; he spun around ceaselessly in Ji You’s Spirit Space, howling energetically.
Then—
Fourth found one of the reasons for the failure
[Master, surely it’s because you didn’t feed me enough, affecting my performance.]
Ji You: "..."
Ji You dismissed him, "I think you’re too full, affecting your performance?"
Hearing this, Fourth immediately shrank his neck.
Ji You raised her hand, "Let’s continue; our timing might be off. We almost succeeded, but the stone seems unable to withstand the power explosion when the Array Diagram forms, so we need to adjust our strength a little."
Fourth wiped away his playful smile, patted his chest, and nodded seriously:[Master, rest assured, Four-Four will cooperate with you promptly.]
This is a matter of Four-Four’s dignity—no sloppiness allowed.
After grabbing the second slice, Ji You and Fourth continued carving the Array Diagram.
Failure.
Failure.
Failure.
...
With consecutive failures, Ji You appeared disheveled and dispirited, while Fourth looked droopy, lacking energy.
Yet, Ji You’s dark eyes glowed! Clenching her fist, she spoke to Fourth, "Failure is the mother of success. I now have confidence; we just need to refine our precision, leaving no room for errors, and we can definitely do it this time."
Boss, Second, ... Sixth all wagged their tails, cheering for their Master.
Then—
Ji You and Fourth mustered up their courage, and in less than thirty seconds, the triangle Array Diagram was completed. Tossing the carving knife, Ji You slumped in her work chair.
Sizz ~
The stone block emitted a dazzling light, causing Ji You to tense up, abruptly straightening her neck from the chair and staring at the stone block on the table.
Then, the light quickly vanished, and the stone block began to emit a faint glow. Ji You’s mouth dropped open: "Succeeded?"
Boss clenched his fist: [Succeeded!]
Second clapped: [Succeeded!]
Third applauded: [Succeeded! Master is so amazing!]
...
Slumped inside the Spirit Space, Fourth’s swollen body now resembled dried intestines, leaving only a shriveled strip.
Hearing everyone say they succeeded, Fourth slouched on Old Five’s head, weakly: [Four-Four’s dignity will never collapse.]
Thud ~
Fourth fainted.
Old Five: "!!!"
Old Five: [Master, Four-Four indeed fainted! Four-Four needs a Soul Device to wake up!]
Upon hearing this, Ji You became extremely apprehensive, then forced her eyes open to check on Fourth, who lay slumped, unmoving.
Really fainted?
Ji You’s suspicion eased up a little, just as she was about to speak when she noticed Old Five’s eyes lighting up, leaving Ji You somewhat speechless.
If Fourth were truly in trouble, Boss, Second, and the others would certainly not remain indifferent; only Old Five being anxious seemed unreasonable.
Moreover, Fourth, the cunning one, whenever preparing to cheat for food, his words and actions cannot be trusted.
Thus, Ji You spoke indifferently, "Oh? Fainted, huh? It’s okay, a nap will fix it."
Old Five stiffened: [Master, a nap won’t fix it.] Fourth promised to divide half of the Soul Power with him, and if the Master doesn’t fall for it, wouldn’t it be lost?
Old Five felt dizzy.
Ji You said, "Old Five, you silly silk, don’t play with Fourth. If I really reward him with a Soul Device, you wouldn’t get a piece of it, I would give it solely to him, absolutely, definitely not sharing even a tiny bit with you, will you still keep acting with him?"
Upon hearing this, Old Five tilted his head, looking troubled: [Oh dear, really got called out by Master. Master, how did you know Fourth agreed to split half with me?]
Ji You twitched the corner of her mouth, "I tricked you guys."
Old Five: "..."
Fourth’s tail twitched imperceptibly, yet he retained his stiff posture, determined to see the performance through.
No longer paying attention to these drama queen Spiritual Silks, Ji You forced herself to store the finished stone slab, commanded the house cleaning system to clean the workbench, then logged onto the Star Network. As agreed with Xiao You, she simply posted a price of 10 credit points for the stone slab on the shelf, then quickly logged off.
At this moment, Ji You was utterly exhausted, feeling as if her entire body were an unwieldy old machine, stiff beyond belief; even slightly shaking her fingertip was a challenge. Before reaching the bed, she collapsed onto the sofa and fell asleep.
