I Hijacked The Timeline Chapter 101: Certificate and Gift

Chapter 101: Certificate and Gift

After placing the medal back in the center, Feng Qi opened the second level of the metal box.

What appeared in front of him was a bottle of wine with the symbol of a silver sword. Through the transparent gla.s.s bottle, one could clearly see the faint red-colored wine inside.

There was also a small card inserted in front of the bottle, which detailed the origin of this bottle of wine.

Merit Wine:

Origin: Joint Research Inst.i.tute.

Ingredients used for brewing: Floating Cloud Fruit (Level 7 Spiritual Plant), Nine Soul Leaf (Level 8 Spiritual Plant), Hundred Souls Blood (made from the mix of blood and essence of 100 types of domain creatures), Luminous Lingzhi Zhi (Level 7 Spiritual Plant), Yi Bright Lantern Gra.s.s (Level 8 Spiritual Plant), Mist Snake Poison (Level 5 Spiritual Material)…

Effect: Consuming a small amount every day can extend one’s lifespan and strengthen one’s body. It can also be used to a.s.sist in cultivation and greatly increase cultivation efficiency.

Hint: The medicinal effect of the Merit Wine is powerful. Don’t over-consume, or it will put a huge burden on your body and you will be in danger of exploding.

Merit Wine (Silver) Serial Number: 118-163

Gifted To: Feng Qi (Star City Resident Code: 1173688)

He flipped to the back of the card. There was also a line of words written on it:

Dedicated to you, who fought tirelessly for the rise of mankind.

After reading the introduction of the Merit Wine, Feng Qi could not help but click his tongue.

The price of making this inconspicuous bottle of wine was estimated to be in the millions.

Last time, he had spent 230,000 dollars to buy the Level 4 Nine-Colored Flower. Although the Merit Wine was manufactured in batches, the ingredients used were nearly a hundred spiritual plants and spiritual materials. One could imagine its value.

Moreover, this bottle of wine had an independent serial number. It would not be an exaggeration to treat it as a family heirloom.

Putting the Merit Wine aside, Feng Qi opened the third level of the metal box.

There was a doc.u.ment inside with the certification information of Cultivation

Exercises Version 2.0 and the test results.

In addition, at the lower right corner, there was the steel seal of certification of the Tiger Soul Research Inst.i.tute and the Joint Research Inst.i.tute.

Feng Qi folded the certification doc.u.ment for Cultivation Exercises Version 2.0 and placed it in the metal box. He sat in front of the desk and picked up the Merit Wine.

Although it was precious, he would definitely have more of it in the future, so he ought to drink when he should.

He was filled with antic.i.p.ation about the effects of the Merit Wine.

Just as he was about to unscrew the sealed bottle cap, he suddenly thought of something. Then, he took out his smartphone and called Lin Ran.

A moment later, Lin Ran’s puzzled voice came from the other end of the call.

“Brother Qi, it’s already midnight. Why are you looking for me?”

“Come to the lake in front of the dormitory building. I want to share something good with you.”

“Is it a peerless secret manual for cultivation technique research?” Lin Ran asked expectantly.

“It’s not!”

“Good night.”

“Are you sure you’re not coming?”

“I’ll get up now. How can I not take Brother Qi’s instructions seriously? After all, you’re a guiding light on my path of cultivation techniques research, illuminating the path ahead for me to explore cultivation techniques research.”

“You’re becoming more and more like a bootlicker.”

“I like it. Slurp! Slurp!”

Hearing Lin Ran’s licking, Feng Qi felt a chill run down his spine and he quickly hung up.

Then, he opened his contact list and found Mu Qing’s number. He dialed it.

The ringing tone rang a few times before the call connected. Mu Qing’s slightly confused voice sounded.

“Hey, Junior Brother, what’s the matter?”

“Come to the lake in front of the dormitory building now. I want to share a treasure with you.”

The person on the other end hesitated for a few seconds before saying,

“Why don’t we do it tomorrow? I’m still sleeping. If I wake up now, I’ll be hungry again soon. The supper provided by the cafeteria at night doesn’t have any staple food to fight hunger. I’m not full.”

“I have some really good food here.”

“Then… I’ll get up now. Wait for me.”

After hanging up, Feng Qi went to the dormitory kitchen to get three wine gla.s.ses and left the dormitory with the Merit Wine.

The night wind was loud, and the air was especially fresh.

The street lamps outside the dormitory building were surrounded by summer insects, causing the lights to flicker. The willow trees by the lake swayed with the wind. They were in the thick of summer.

As he waited, Lin Ran and Mu Qing appeared in the distance.

Lin Ran was obviously still awake and came with a smile.

As for Mu Qing, she looked very dispirited. At this moment, her expression was blank, and her eyes were about to close.

They came to a bench by the lake and sat down.

At this moment, Lin Ran’s gaze was already caught by the Merit Wine with a golden label in his hand.

“Brother Qi, is this Merit Wine?”

“Bingo.”

Hearing Feng Qi’s affirmative answer, Lin Ran looked a little surprised.

“Others keep the Merit Wine as a collector’s item after obtaining it. You’re going to drink it now?”

“There will be more in the future. It’s not like this is the only bottle,” Feng Qi replied with a grin.

Hearing this, Lin Ran gave him a thumbs up.

“As expected of my Brother Qi. How domineering. Since that’s the case, quickly give me a cup to try.”

Mu Qing, who was sitting on Feng Qi’s left, still had a confused expression as she asked softly,

“What kind of wine is Merit Wine? Also… I don’t drink”

Looking at the puzzled Mu Qing, before Feng Qi could explain, Lin Ran smiled and said,

“Senior Sister, this thing is good stuff. You can’t buy it on the market even if you want to. It’s a gift specially provided by the Joint Research Inst.i.tute to the winners of the Outstanding Contribution to Mankind Award. Ordinary people won’t be able to get a bottle in their lives.”

“So let’s give it a try. Actually, I don’t drink either, but this is special. I have to try it no matter what.”

Hearing Lin Ran’s explanation, Mu Qing seemed to understand and nodded obediently.

Under their expectant gazes, Feng Qi reached out and unscrewed the sealed bottle cap.

Pop-!

With a m.u.f.fled sound, the rich fragrance of wine spread in all directions. It lingered at the tip of their noses for a moment before drifting away with the night wind.

Feng Qi handed the wine gla.s.ses to Lin Ran and Mu Qing. He first filled his gla.s.s and then Mu Qing’s gla.s.s.

When he came to Lin Ran, he asked teasingly, “How much can you drink?”

“A full gla.s.s of course. Who are you looking down on!”

Hearing Lin Ran’s answer, Feng Qi immediately filled his gla.s.s, but he still reminded him, “Take a small sip first. This thing is especially strong. If you drink too much, your body won’t be able to take it. If you can’t finish it, bring it back with you.”

“Understood!” Lin Ran nodded, then raised his gla.s.s and smiled.

“To the rise of mankind. Cheers.”

After putting down the bottle, Feng Qi raised his full gla.s.s and clinked it with Lin Ran and Mu Qing’s.

He brought the wine gla.s.s to his mouth and took a small sip.

When the wine entered his mouth, it first had a thick texture. Then, the medicinal fragrance instantly spread through his mouth and nose. The taste buds on his tongue were activated. When they collided with the liquid, he felt different tastes.

When the wine went down his throat, it was as if he was enlightened. In an instant, all the pores in his body relaxed, as if his cells had been activated and were shouting under the stimulation of the wine.

When his stomach came into contact with the wine, after a few seconds of heat, a warm current spread to his limbs and bones. He immediately felt warm and drunk.

This feeling lasted for a moment before slowly fading, but the fragrance in his mouth and nose did not dissipate. It lingered.

His energy progress bar also jumped.

In the blink of an eye, it jumped 0.5% per second from 49.8% until the value reached 62.3%.

In addition, Feng Qi realized that the energy spreading from the wine was not completely absorbed by the energy replenishment bar. There was still a portion left in his body that surged, causing his blood to emit a surging sound like the tide.

A portion of this energy was being slowly absorbed and digested by his body.

“This feels so good. I feel like I’m flying.”

Lin Ran sighed and his face turned red. Then, he continued, “I’ll take another small sip at most. If I drink too much, I might not be able to take it. The effect of this medicine is too…” Halfway through his sentence, a tent slowly rose.

“D*mn, it even has such an effect?” Looking down, Lin Ran quickly turned around.

“Hahaha, I told you to take it easy.”

Compared to the long-lasting feedback after Lin Ran drank the Merit Wine, Feng Qi had the energy replenishment progress bar to cooperate with his digestion, so the scorching feeling quickly subsided.

He turned around and saw that Mu Qing had already drunk nearly half of the wine in her gla.s.s.

At this moment, her face was covered in an adorable smile. Her face was only slightly red, but the rune crystal on her left arm emitted a dazzling light, flashing like the timer on Ultraman’s chest.

Seeing this scene, Feng Qi could not help but automatically imagine a series of numbers jumping above Mu Qing’s head.

Strength +1

Endurance +1

Reflex +1

Elemental Resistance +1

Physical Recovery +1

Her combat strength was rapidly increasing…

He had learned about Mu Qing’s characteristics of absorbing energy from food in the future database.

It could be said that the more she ate, the stronger she became.

At this moment, Lin Ran took a second sip, but soon, he couldn’t take it anymore, and blood flowed from his nose.

While feeling embarra.s.sed, he couldn’t help but say, “I was careless. It seems that my body can’t take it anymore. Let me swim in the lake to digest this.”

As he spoke, he stood up and took a few steps forward to jump into the lake under Feng Qi and Mu Qing’s surprised gazes. He began to move his limbs with all his might.

Turning his gaze to Mu Qing, who had already finished her drink, Feng Qi couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “Senior Sister, do you want another gla.s.s?”

Mu Qing immediately shook her head when she heard this.

After experiencing the magical effects of the wine, she already understood how precious this gla.s.s of wine was. It was almost equivalent to the energy she could only obtain after eating for half a month.

In addition, the wine contained many precious medicinal herbs that could strengthen one’s physique. It had a very obvious supplementary effect on increasing one’s strength.

At this moment, when she heard Feng Qi ask if she wanted more, she immediately chose to refuse.

Seeing the change in Mu Qing’s expression, Feng Qi immediately understood what she was thinking.

From the first time, when he approached Mu Qing with a purpose, till now, he had already regarded Mu Qing as his confidant and friend.

When he recalled the content of “Mu Qing’s diary” in the future database, a warm current flowed in his heart.

When everyone suspected her, Mu Qing resolutely chose to stand on his side.

After he died, she would often visit him with flowers. She would kneel in front of his grave and play the harmonica.

Such a loyal friend was worth cherishing.

At the thought of this, he reached out and took the wine gla.s.s from Mu Qing’s hand. He filled the gla.s.s.

“Drink it if you want to. Don’t stand on ceremony with me. There will be plenty of this wine in the future.”

Hearing this, Mu Qing nodded obediently. After lowering her head and taking a small sip, her face was filled with a blissful smile.

She suddenly felt that apart from her dreams, life could also be very beautiful.

Feng Qi also lowered his head and took a small sip of wine.

The familiar feeling attacked him again. His vision was blurry, and it was as if there was a ball of fire burning in his body, bringing about a continuous heat to his body. It took a long time before it slowly subsided.

As he enjoyed the night breeze with the wine, the stifling feeling in his heart was finally released.

It was said that wine could relieve one’s worries. Only now did he understand it deeply.

After taking another sip, he sat on the bench and looked up at the sky.

The summer evening breeze blew across the clouds, creating wisps of clouds in the night sky. The shadows of the trees swayed under the quiet moonlight…

Everything seemed so wonderful..
