Chapter 994: Play!
Ji You finished her boast and sat down calmly, leaning her back against the wall. She used her right elbow to cover most of her face, slightly lowering her eyes to hide a faint sheen of sweat on her forehead and the subtle trembling of her body...
The high-intensity consumption of spiritual power was still a bit too much.
Actually, that jade dagger wasn’t any High-level Soul Device at all, it wasn’t even a Soul Device. The dagger, encrusted with diamonds on the hilt, was crafted by Ji You herself, but it did not successfully become a Soul Device and was merely a piece of art.
The first Soul Device Ji You purchased was a low-level soul artifact made by Master Lin Feng, a disciple of Master Kong Zhe. The inspiration for her to replicate his array diagram came from the dagger she bought, but she failed many times in her attempt. This diamond dagger was one of those failures. Even though it failed, it didn’t crumble into dust but kept its delicate appearance, especially the diamonds on it, which cost Ji You dozens of credit points. She couldn’t bear to throw it away, so she stored it in the Space Button.
Indeed.
Dozens of credit points for a total of 88 diamonds, to be precise, 88 credit points in total. 1 credit point per diamond, 1-carat ones, so cheap it’s almost tear-inducing...
When Ji You saw the price, she almost couldn’t believe her eyes, but her clear eyes told her they were indeed that cheap. Unable to resist, she bought an entire box of them.
Then.
She realized that besides looking pretty, they indeed didn’t serve any purpose. Due to severe survival issues, people in the interstellar era value practicality, and items of no utility to current technology and life are worthless.
When Ji You impulsively bought a box of diamond soul artifacts, she fantasized about how carrying them would make her rich—becoming a billionaire was just around the corner?
Ahem...
The dagger encrusted with diamonds wasn’t a real Soul Device, and of course, it couldn’t turn into a High-level Soul Device so quickly. The reason it gave the impression of a Soul Device was mainly that Ji You at that moment let her Six Spiritual Threads crawl out, creating a fake array diagram on the dagger. Time and ability were limited, so the diagram couldn’t be too complex, thus only a simple triangle.
