The grand marshal Li cleared his throat, "Ahem, alright, let's not discuss this now. Xiao Ye Lang, can you show us the box you bought?"
"Tiger Girl, give him the box," the little Shopaholic generously agreed. He wasn't really concerned about these things. Although he had bought it, he didn't mind giving it to anyone and didn't expect anything in return.
In his words, a spendthrift wouldn't care about these things.
When General Li excitedly took the box and everyone eagerly waited, they suddenly found something a bit depressing inside the box - it was another box.
This not only made people think of one thing, whether this box would be the kind that contains more boxes inside, repeating until the appearance of the notes.
Just imagine how bulky the notes would be, the box was obviously too large.
Fortunately, it turned out that the box was not like that. However, a new problem arose - this box required some procedures to open, and these procedures might be very difficult.
"Damn, this class is really messed up. They put their notes in a box and lock them. How can people see them?" General Li cursed immediately.
Indeed, the box was not an ordinary one but a box with mechanisms made with great effort by the class monitor. These mechanisms required profound alchemical knowledge to decipher, this was his test for those fated individuals, and he did not want his notes to be seen by ignorant people. To see his notes, one must have his approved alchemical skills.
And this box was used to test people.
The people present found it easy to guess this, and immediately called the empire's greatest alchemists to decipher it, fortunately, most of them were nearby.
Because of this box, everyone's attention seemed to be attracted, thereby forgetting some things, such as the two birthday boys today. Fortunately, the two birthday boys were very generous and didn't care about it, happily playing on the side.
Children, adults not paying attention to themselves is the best, as they could play freely.
"..., are you saying that you can't decipher it now either?" The Emperor frowned and asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this box requires very complicated procedures to open. If there is an error in the middle, the mechanism inside will be activated, destroying the notes. So, we need time to study it carefully," the alchemists said.
"That's right, since it's the class's box, it definitely won't be simple. You can take your time to study it, what's inside, I believe you want to see more than me," the Emperor said.
Indeed, what was inside was what all alchemists wanted to see. They were more anxious than anyone else to know the alchemical insights of the class.
"Hehe..." The alchemists all began to laugh, a bit silly, but this silliness made many people find it cute.
"Your Majesty, pardon me for asking, how did this box come into your possession?" the alchemists, after the happy and silly smiles, curiously asked.
"We have to thank our little birthday stars today, our young master from the Ye family. You should also go over and wish him a happy birthday," the Emperor said, pointing to the thirteenth young master playing an unknown game with the seventh princess in the square.
"??" The alchemists didn't understand at first what this had to do with the little spendthrift, but soon they remembered. This legendary spendthrift, who always had a magical luck, bought this box somewhere. It had long been heard that his luck was always very miraculous.
Indeed, this was a very lucky thing. In fact, over the past few hundred years, this box would appear in auctions and grocery stores from time to time, and the asking price was unacceptable.
According to the class and Ban himself, besides hoping for someone with outstanding alchemical skills to see it, he also hoped to find a fated person to obtain it. Before that, no information would be disclosed.
However, once someone obtained it, they would announce it to the world immediately, it was as if it was to prevent the fated person from being overlooked.
It was fortunate that they announced it to the world, otherwise, this box would have been sleeping in Tiger Niu's space bag, with little chance of seeing the light of day again.
To express their gratitude to the little spendthrift, the alchemists came over to celebrate his birthday, and soon they thought of a problem - they seemed to need to give a birthday gift.
They had come in a hurry, and they had no preparations on them. However, someone quickly thought of a good way.
"Young Master Ye, I wish you a happy birthday. I don't have anything valuable to give you, just this book." An alchemist took out a book and gave it to the little spendthrift. As alchemists, the books they gave were naturally related to alchemy.
Books were the source of knowledge, and although this gift was not dazzling, it would never go out of style and no one would say it was inappropriate, suitable for both young and old.
With one person starting, others also started to give books. They always carried books on alchemy, and they avoided giving duplicates.
These people were all top alchemists in the mainland. Although they only gave books, these books were precious, and some were hard to come by.
Although the little spendthrift didn't understand why these people suddenly came and gave him books, he accepted all the gifts without hesitation.
"This box... let me see..." Suddenly, the little spendthrift saw the box in the hands of the alchemists, and a moment of confusion appeared in his eyes.
At this point, everyone seemed to understand the little spendthrift's confused expression as if he was doubting whether this box was the same as the previous one.
If it were someone else asking, the alchemists would have refused, but now they knew that the original owner of this box was the little spendthrift in front of them. They hesitated to hand the box to him and cautioned him to be careful.
"What is this?" the little spendthrift asked after looking at the alchemical array on the box for a while.
"This is a defensive alchemical array, linked with the other arrays around it, surrounding the entire box. It can protect the box and ensure that it is not opened by other means. I have never seen this arrangement of alchemical arrays before, so we need to study it further," the alchemist replied professionally.
"Oh..." The little spendthrift looked at the box and responded.
