Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Another System Discovery

A large pile of leftover jade scraps on the desk disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by a palm-sized piece of emerald green jade.

Though not very large, this jade had excellent quality and clarity.

According to the system’s hint, this was a piece of glass-quality jade.

You should know that glass-quality jade is extremely rare; just this small piece Lin Yi had was worth at least several million.

“System, we’ve already done this reconstruction and decomposition thing eight times, right? Two more times and we can upgrade?”

Thinking about getting closer to an upgrade, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Just following what the system said, once upgraded, his system space could be put to use, and there were other undisclosed benefits waiting for him.

[Answering the master’s question, the system has performed decomposition and reconstruction eight times. Two more are needed to upgrade to level 2. Please be patient, master.]

“System, can you give me some suggestions for reconstruction that’ll give me the best bang for my buck?”

Every time he performed a reconstruction, Lin Yi felt like he was wasting an opportunity.

[Answering the master’s question, the system only performs reconstruction on items chosen by the master and cannot influence the master’s decisions.]

This response was expected by Lin Yi, but he couldn’t help but harbor a bit of wishful thinking. Now having the answer, he stopped overthinking it.

Since he was blocked by online influencers outside, it wasn’t convenient for Lin Yi to go out, so he decided to stay at home.

In that day spent at home, Lin Yi didn’t just sit around; he turned his home upside down looking for things.

…

The next day, he slept until he naturally woke and didn’t get up until the sun was high in the sky.

Getting out of bed, he rubbed his messy hair and looked at the various items he dug out from searching through his house the day before. As usual, Lin Yi found himself in a pickle.

His computer, his phone, his watch, the jade he had dug out the day before, his mom’s pair of gold earrings, his dad’s treasured bottle of ordinary Maotai liquor from the same year, and his dad’s box of various broken porcelain pieces had all been brought out by Lin Yi.

Which one should he choose for reconstruction?

Unable to decide, Lin Yi randomly thought of a big number in his head, and then started pointing at items on the desk with his finger.

“One, two, three, sixty-five, sixty-six, it’s you!”

The item he chose turned out to be the Casio mechanical watch he had bought for over 500 bucks during his first year of high school. Without any hesitation, Lin Yi immediately called out to the system in his mind:

“System, I want to reconstruct this watch. Make me the best watch you can!”

[Recycling master’s Casio mechanical watch and one piece of glass-quality jade. System decomposition in progress, decomposition complete; system molecule optimization in progress, optimization complete; molecule synthesis in progress, synthesis complete; reconstruction in progress, reconstruction complete. Congratulations to the master for obtaining the Patek Philippe ‘Emerald Heart Couples Watch’ pair!]

With the system prompt in his mind, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned.

What was going on? How did both the watch and the jade get decomposed??

In a brief moment of realization, Lin Yi figured it must be that his watch and the jade were close together, so the system considered them as one item.

Moreover, during this reconstruction, Lin Yi clearly heard an extra step – molecule synthesis.

From the name alone, Lin Yi guessed that it was because his decomposed items were two, and since the system could only create one item at a time, it synthesized them into one final product.

Realizing the key point, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel delighted; it seemed he had discovered a new feature of the system.

But Lin Yi quickly realized, slapping his forehead, that he should have thought of this earlier. The first time he performed decomposition and reconstruction, those two cold pills had been decomposed from dozens of different types.

And the leftover jade scraps from yesterday were the same; they surely couldn’t have all come from the same stone.

While he was pondering, the positions where the watch and jade used to be were now occupied by two very exquisite blue boxes.

He reached out, picked up one box, and opened it to find a men’s watch inside.

The entire watch looked very luxurious, with the dial and hands inlaid with various sizes of emerald green jade,

giving off an impression of extreme opulence.

As he picked it up, Lin Yi discovered something even more interesting on the back of the dial.

The watch’s back cover was made of a whole piece of polished transparent jade.

This made Lin Yi a bit worried; what if he accidentally broke it?

Putting it on his wrist, Lin Yi twisted it around, feeling quite satisfied.

He grabbed the other box and opened it, seeing a smaller version of the same style watch. The overall feeling Lin Yi got was not only one of luxury and opulence but of elegance and sophistication.

Satisfied, he nodded; products from the system are indeed superb.

“Haha, is the system trying to help me get a girlfriend sooner? Even the reconstructed item is a couples’ set…”

Shaking his head, he tucked the watch into the desk drawer, planning to gift it to Xiao Zihan when he saw her.

After tidying up the desk, Lin Yi, having nothing else to do, decided to use his phone to look up the value of these two watches he just acquired.

He was shocked by what he found out.

Originally, Lin Yi thought these two watches must be worth at least several million, but after checking, Lin Yi was stunned.

Patek Philippe Emerald Heart Couples Watch, designed personally by world-renowned watch designer Sbyige in 2008, took thirteen years to complete and was officially released in January 2021 as a limited edition.

The watch case was crafted from rare aerospace materials, and the interior was inlaid with crystal jade of invaluable quality, thousands of times more precious than glass-quality jade, valued at 20 million per gram. The combination of such exquisite materials with masterful craftsmanship is deemed the most luxurious and noble watch of this century.

During this release, a total of four watches, two pairs, were sold worldwide, each priced at ‘21.5 million USD’!
