Chapter 250: New Year's Eve Gift Pack! Three Wishes for the New Year!
Chapter 250: New Year's Eve Gift Pack! Three Wishes for the New Year!
Su Ping never expected this.
This New Year's Eve party had given him such a huge surprise.
In the past few days, the Sea Core Spirit Turtle and the little crow had been in the Heart of Wood, but their affinity had never reached the required level. Now, they had finally met the conditions.
Two brand new pet catalogs were directly obtained, and two brand new talents were acquired.
Moreover, just by looking at the names, these two brand new talents seemed very different from the previous ones.
The next moment, the specific information about these two talents appeared in Su Ping's mind:
【Floating: Using psychic energy to slightly levitate and glide.】
【Underwater Breathing: Able to freely move and breathe underwater, and with enhanced vision to a certain extent.】
These two talents, clearly emphasized, filled Su Ping's eyes with joy.
These two talents represented the sky and underwater.
Su Ping had long wanted to do something, which was to enter the Heart of Water below and get closer to the Rainbow Coral Worm within the Water Elemental Barrier.
This rare water-type special pet, as the pillar of Su Ping's Heart of Water, might not even know that it was actually working for Su Ping.
However, if Su Ping could unlock the catalog, further understand it, find its wonders, and even complete its evolution, the help it would provide to the Heart of Water would be immeasurable.
But previously, Su Ping had an innate resistance to underwater, even more so than the sky.
Now, with the ability to breathe underwater, he could give it a try.
His heart was filled with joy, and Su Ping even applauded the performances of the two little guys.
Subsequently, the 'little guys' highly praised the New Year's Eve dinner.
Only the little crow and the Flame Morning Glory seemed a bit envious.
The reason was simple; the Flame Fruit was genuinely popular.
However, what puzzled Su Ping was that he clearly remembered having ten Flame Fruits condensed in his Beast Space during this time.
There were also ten of them when preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.
But in just this short time, after taking them out from the Beast Space, there were only eight left.
Su Ping felt a bit suspicious and puzzled.
Nevertheless, this special New Year's Eve was finally over in such an environment and process.
As the midnight bell rang, the last day of the lunar calendar passed, and time finally approached the early hours of the morning, ushering in a brand new year.
"It's the New Year! The bell is ringing! Everyone, come and gather!"
Su Ping shouted, and the little guys who had eaten and drunk their fill also gathered in front of Su Ping, eagerly watching as he took out a stack of red envelopes from the Beast Space.
Of course, they didn't know what the red envelopes were, and they only vaguely understood the meaning of the Spring Festival and New Year's Eve. They only knew that this day was great and fun, and if they could celebrate the New Year every day, it would be perfect.
These red envelopes were their prizes for the performances they had just given.
So, they eagerly watched this segment.
"Now, each little guy, come up and draw your red envelope! Inside the red envelopes are various New Year gifts, and what you get depends entirely on luck! There are three grand prizes!"
"Woof!"
"Wow!"
"Ga-ga!"
"..."
"Very good, now line up and come to receive your red envelopes. Those with the highest scores will be at the front, followed by the rest in order!"
The first one was none other than the little origami figure Qian Yi, who had just demonstrated his newly comprehended sword technique and was the first place in the Heart of Wood New Year's Eve party.
The little guy excitedly stood at the front, looking at the numerous red envelopes arranged like a blooming flower, and eagerly rubbed his hands.
Then he closed his eyes, but Su Ping immediately scolded him, "No using your ability to sense!"
"Wow!"
The little origami figure looked a bit aggrieved, but after looking for a while, he finally took out a red envelope and eagerly opened it under the gaze of the other little guys.
It was a piece of paper, and on it were written a few large characters in black ink:
【One item of corresponding level resources!】
Su Ping smiled and said, and the little origami figure's eyes suddenly lit up:
()!
More resources!
Su Ping, of course, did not deceive it, and he took out a resource that had been prepared in the Beast Space.
An Elite Rank Dark Ink Paper.
The little origami figure excitedly took it and showed off to the many other little guys still in line, and then, the next second, the little guy started questioning his existence.
The next one to come up was the very low-key Laurel Tree among all the pets.
The Laurel Tree's previous talent show was Moonlight Simulation, simulating the moonlight, and on this New Year's Eve, it was like a full moon hanging high, magnificent and splendid, earning unanimous praise from the other participating members and the sole judge, Su Ping.
Thus, it won second place.
The content of the Laurel Tree's red envelope was similar to the little origami figure's, also a resource reward.
However, unlike the little origami figure, the Laurel Tree's envelope said:
"One item of resources above its own level!"
The Laurel Tree's level was Overlord Rank.
So, a resource above its level...
The little origami figure stared, and when the cold and aloof Laurel Tree took out an item that had reached the Monarch Rank in its gaze, it felt like the Dark Ink Paper in its hand suddenly lost its appeal.
How could this be?
How did it turn out like this?
The little origami figure didn't understand.
It really didn't understand.
But the fact was just that.
And the next little guys who came up to receive their red envelopes also proved that the item the little origami figure received, the value of the lottery red envelope, was indeed the lowest!
How could this be possible?
Is this reasonable?
Little Paper Man thought it was not.
But when he saw Little Qing walk away with a resource that was not only one level higher than himself but also a double resource, Little Paper Man began to question his luck.
Was his luck really that bad? In fact, it was.
Soon, the second prize that Su Ping had mentioned appeared! And the winner of this second prize was just an ordinary forest wolf.
However, Su Ping was quite familiar with this wolf.
The second prize was:
"Little Forest Wolf, you have won the second prize in this draw and are eligible to receive a skill cultivation suitable for yourself!"
Skill cultivation! Little Paper Man looked at the young forest wolf with teary eyes and then glanced at the dark ink paper in his hand, momentarily speechless.
The little wolf shook his head. This young fellow, who had grown up alongside Little Qing, had now reached the elite sixth rank within just half a year.
After a few more moments, the first prize was also announced.
To everyone's surprise, the winner of this first prize was a little fellow from the Heart of the Forest, who was also rather inconspicuous:
"Mist Pine, you have won the first prize in this draw and are eligible for priority evolution cultivation!"
Priority evolution cultivation!
All the little fellows present were stunned, especially Mist Pine. The cool little fellow was emitting a trail of icy mist at this moment, clearly indicating his excitement upon hearing the reward.
Su Ping smiled slightly, as he quite liked this little fellow.
Especially when leaning against the Water Heart and the Heart of the Forest, the Mist Bridge formed a beautiful scene, and the mist it emitted was extremely cool and comfortable. In the summer, it could be a perfect tool for escaping the heat.
However, all the little fellows thought that after the first, second, and third prizes had been announced, the grand prize had already been given out. But from the back, Little Crow came forward with a big announcement.
"Congratulations, Little Crow, for winning the grand prize of this draw! The grand prize can make any request! I and everyone from the Heart of All Spirits will do our best to help fulfill it!"
With these words, the entire pet group seemed to boil over, and a pile of pets looked at the Fire-Eating Crow with envy and jealousy.
Little Crow realized at this moment that he had won the grand prize.
"Caw! Caw! Caw!!!"
Seeing Su Ping's confirmation nod, Little Crow flapped his wings and quickly soared in the sky.
"Alright, think of your request quickly, or it'll be too late!"
Su Ping smiled and said, "I'm not cheating. This little crow seems to have good luck, as it hit the odds of nearly one percent."
He also looked at the little fellow with anticipation, wanting to see what the little fellow's request was.
However, to his surprise, Little Crow circled twice and, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the other pets, he finally cawed out his request:
"Caw! (I want... a name...)"
A name? Su Ping was a bit taken aback.
From one perspective, this request wasn't much, but for him, it wasn't an easy task either.
So, Su Ping fell into deep thought:
"As for a name... let me think. How about 'Ya Ya'?"
"Caw!"
From Little Crow's enthusiastic response, it seemed that the little fellow was quite satisfied with this name.
Su Ping, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed to have satisfied such an easily pleased little fellow so quickly.
But what could he say? It was the little crow's own request.
Thinking of this, Su Ping sighed and looked up at the red lantern in the dark night sky. He smiled and said:
"Come, let's set off some fireworks!"
"Caw!"
"Woof!"
"..."
A
The dark night sky was completely illuminated, and the colorful lights shone on Su Ping's face, making him look spirited.
On the New Year's Eve, as the dark night sky was lit up by fireworks, the night finally came to an end.
Finally, Su Ping stood in a relatively secluded shrine room in the Heart of Wood.
He respectfully washed up and took a few sticks of sandalwood incense, slowly lighting them.
He placed them on the two spirit tablets in the center.
These two tablets were for his late mother and grandfather.
The green incense smoke slowly drifted, and at this moment, the atmosphere was solemn and quiet.
Su Ping sighed and placed the incense sticks in the incense burners at the front. The prepared offerings were neatly arranged, and he knelt on the meditation cushion:
"Su Ping and Father Su Anyong pay our respects to Mother and Grandfather. May you two rest in peace in heaven's spirits rest in peace, and may you bless us."
Su Ping lightly knocked his head and said word for word:
"On this New Year's Eve, the grandson has three wishes:
First, may the Nine Provinces prosper forever, with national prosperity and people's peace;
Second, may the family be harmonious, and may the father thrive, with relatives and friends' well-being;
Third, may I have longevity and flourishing martial fortune."
Fourth, may the good brothers' wishes come true~
