Chapter 521: Chapter 520: Oh, You Actually Remembered to Call Me

"A lottery?" Jiang Zuo asked.

"Yes, it’s a lottery with almost impossible odds of winning. According to the seniors before me, this lottery has been held for several years, once a year, but no one has ever won.

The odds of winning are about one in a hundred million.

A lot of people were excited at first, but later on, everyone just started treating it as a bit of fun," the young salesgirl said.

Jiang Zuo took the card. It was a very ordinary scratch-off card.

Jiang Zuo put his phone away and prepared to scratch it.

’It’s no big deal anyway.’

"I heard the prize is a full year of personal guidance from one of the company’s top executives.

They even claim that they can help an ordinary person embark on the path of Cultivation within a year. But they don’t care what happens after that.

In the world of Cultivation, reaching Tier One is considered embarking on the path.

In any case, there will be no shortage of resources. As long as you have a bit of talent, the benefits are bound to be immense.

Besides, the top executives of Tianhe Group are all great seniors. To receive a full year of their guidance is something countless people dream of." The young girl became especially excited when talking about the prize.

Jiang Zuo scratched off the prize area and saw two words written there: Screw you!

Jiang Zuo was speechless.

"By the way, our winning phrase is pretty unique. It’s supposed to be two words, and very rude ones at that."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Jiang Zuo turned the card for her to see. "Are these the two words?"

"No... It’s supposed to be ’Screw yo...’" The salesgirl denied it out of habit, as many people had asked her the same thing before.

But when she saw the words on the card, she froze. She stammered, "S-Screw you!?"

’No one has won this thing for years, and now he’s won it?’

’This can’t be real, right?’

"So I won?" Jiang Zuo asked.

Only then did the young girl reply woodenly, "Y-Yes."

"And with this, I can get a year of guidance from someone?" Jiang Zuo asked.

The young girl just nodded.

At that point, Jiang Zuo didn’t plan to ask any more questions and simply turned to leave.

When he reached a trash can, he tossed the card straight in.

’This prize is completely useless.’

’It’s of no use to me at all.’

The salesgirl was completely dumbfounded.

She then scrambled over the counter to dig through the trash can.

’Oh god, did I see that wrong?’

’Or did that man throw away the wrong thing?’

’He threw away the grand prize?’

’Is he an idiot?’

The girl’s actions naturally attracted the attention of quite a few people. Just as she found the card, her supervisor came over.

"What are you doing?" the supervisor asked.

The young salesgirl held up the card and said, "I won."

"Huh?" It wasn’t just the supervisor.

Many people present were completely dumbfounded.

’She won?’

’What prize?’

’The one that was supposedly impossible to win?’

「 」

Jiang Zuo, however, didn’t care about what was happening inside.

He had just bought a phone, so naturally, he needed to download a bunch of things.

But this time, the first thing he did was call Su Qi.

Luckily, the call went through.

As soon as the call connected, he heard Su Qi’s slightly exaggerated voice, "Wow, hubby, I can’t believe you actually remembered to call me."

Jiang Zuo was a little speechless. He just wasn’t in the habit of it before, though he wasn’t really in the habit of it now either.

’I just happened to remember, that’s all.’

"I just bought a new phone, so I’m letting you know," Jiang Zuo said.

"At least you have some conscience. By the way, we’re about to enter the Saintess Pool. Master is accompanying us.

We won’t be able to take calls for a long time, but Master will help answer them, so just contact her if you need anything.

Remember, you have to tell me if anything happens. And keep your Life-Protecting Treasure with you," Su Qi reminded him again.

Jiang Zuo replied, "Mm, don’t worry."

"Remember to take care of yourself. I want a healthy hubby waiting for me when I get back," Su Qi said.

"Mm, you be careful too. If you need me to come pick you up, remember to tell me early," Jiang Zuo said.

Because of the Misfortune Coin, no one could be sure if something would happen to Su Qi.

Although her aunt had taken precautions, she herself wasn’t confident.

As for this, Jiang Zuo hadn’t studied it either.

’Menstruation and misfortune, how could he possibly have studied something like that?’

If his Cultivation were high enough, he might be able to figure it out.

"Yes, sir." Then, Su Qi’s voice dropped to a whisper. "Say you miss me."

Jiang Zuo smiled slightly and finally said, "I miss you."

"Hehe, I miss you too. Hey, hey, Senior Sister, don’t snatch my phone! Okay, okay, I’m hanging up."

Then Su Qi said into the phone, "I’m hanging up, got to get busy."

Jiang Zuo: "Bye-bye."

After that, Su Qi hung up. She was probably forced to by Sister Jingyue.

But Jiang Zuo didn’t mind. Sister Jingyue was a bit of a strange person, but her bond with Su Qi was genuinely strong.

’Of course, Su Qi is his. If Sister Jingyue dared to steal her away, she could just wait for her doom.’

Arriving at Marketing Department Two, Jiang Zuo sat at his desk and finished setting up his phone.

Then he opened his computer. He needed to check on the commissioned task. If there were no issues, he would cancel it.

After all, he had already obtained the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

Since the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires was in his possession, the commission could naturally be closed.

But just as he opened his computer, he received a message.

The message read:

The Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires has been checked into the warehouse. Please inspect it at your earliest convenience. If there are no issues, please pay the commission fee.

Jiang Zuo frowned. ’The Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires has been checked in?’

’Someone else also got a Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t really believe it. These people might not even recognize the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

’So they probably made a mistake.’

Still, Jiang Zuo needed to go and appraise it.

If it were just an ordinary stone, Tianhe Group wouldn’t have bothered to check it into their warehouse.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zuo grew a little curious. What kind of stone could possibly be mistaken for the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires?

He closed his computer and went straight to the warehouse.

Arriving at the warehouse front desk, Jiang Zuo submitted his work ID and found the location for commissioned item storage.

Entering the small storeroom, Jiang Zuo saw many items. However, the things here were different from before; they couldn’t be claimed just by swiping a work ID.

Jiang Zuo said to the person in charge, "I’m here to appraise a commissioned item."

The guard here was not a young man, but an elder whose Cultivation was relatively strong.

’It would be extremely difficult to try and steal anything from here.’

After confirming Jiang Zuo’s work ID, the elder said nothing and directly took out a stone that was a size smaller than the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

It was probably only half the size of the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

Looking at this stone, Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but frown.

This stone was also irregularly shaped.

However, it had no holes.

Just looking at it gave one the feeling that their consciousness was being absorbed, but it also had a feeling of a "sage mode."

Simply put, this stone could indeed absorb some emotions, but it was not the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, nor was it related to it in any way.

’If you stare at this stone for too long, you’ll become an idiot.’

But this stone was valuable. The way of the sage is the way of nature. When the Little Turtle became famous throughout the world, this thing would be of great use to Jiang Zuo.

And the name of this stone was the Sacred Heart Stone.
