Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 248 Live Broadcast of National Fortune: The Male Lead's Fiancée Who Was Rejected VS. Hu

Su Jinyue picked up the little creature by its skin and flesh, and held it up to her eyes for a closer look. It turned out to be a fiery red, furry squirrel.

This squirrel was very bold. Even when Su Jinyue pinched the skin on the back of its neck, it was not afraid at all. In fact, it twitched its little nose and tried to get closer to Su Jinyue.

Seeing that the little squirrel was not aggressive towards her, but rather quite friendly, Su Jinyue let it go.

I guess this tree hole is the little squirrel's home. I'm already embarrassed that I've taken over its nest, so I really shouldn't hurt it anymore.

Su Jinyue released the squirrel, but to her surprise, the squirrel turned around, took a nut from its collection, and handed it to Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue was flattered: "A gift for me?"

The little squirrel squeaked, holding the nut in its tiny paws, and Su Jinyue tentatively took it.

Then, the little squirrel probably saw that Su Jinyue had accepted its gift, so it snuggled into Su Jinyue's arms again and rolled around comfortably.

Su Jinyue was both amused and exasperated. Had it become attached to her?

Su Jinyue picked it up again, put it on the ground, patted its little head, and said.

"I'm sorry to have occupied your place. Thank you, I'll be leaving now."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing that Su Jinyue was leaving, the little squirrel became anxious, jumping around in front of Su Jinyue and squeaking incessantly.

Su Jinyue didn't understand what the little squirrel meant. Later, when the little squirrel saw that Su Jinyue still didn't understand, it crawled back into Su Jinyue's arms and sniffed all over her.

Seeing the squirrel's movements, Su Jinyue had an idea. She then released a wisp of spiritual energy from her fingertips and held it up in front of the squirrel.

As expected, the little squirrel was attracted by the spiritual energy, following Su Jinyue's fingers and sniffing them incessantly, its eyes even showing a look of intoxication.

Su Jinyue was surprised. She hadn't expected the little squirrel to be so sensitive to spiritual energy. No wonder it dug a hole under the spiritual tree; it seemed to have been attracted by the spiritual energy.

The wood of the spirit tree is hard and not suitable for making tree holes at all, but the little squirrel still worked hard to make a home here. It's really persistent.

However, this squirrel has not yet developed intelligence, and its attraction to spiritual energy is merely instinctive.

The Trial Grounds are uninhabited and cannot form a world of their own. It is unknown whether these animals can still develop intelligence.

Su Jinyue felt a little sorry for the little squirrel. She took out a spiritual fruit from her spatial storage. Since the little squirrel liked spiritual energy, it should like the spiritual fruit too.

Sure enough, upon seeing the spirit fruit, the little squirrel picked it up and started munching on it. The sight of a little squirrel happily eating a spirit fruit the size of an apple was quite amusing.

Once the little squirrel obtained the spirit fruit, it stopped paying attention to Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue left the tree hole and walked towards the stream, checking in on the system interface. She successfully checked in and earned ten points.

Adding the 11 points she didn't use the day before, Su Jinyue now has a total of 21 points.

The points were still too few. Su Jinyue opened the system shop, which currently only had food, drinking water, and clothing unlocked.

The other items are not unlocked, and it's still unclear what they are.

However, Su Jinyue remembered that the plot mentioned that the items in the system shop were quite useful, but they were very expensive!

A mission participant from another country, facing certain death, used all his points to exchange for an item in the system shop, and miraculously survived, even acquiring a very useful skill.

Unfortunately, the other party did not survive to the end. The good things he obtained ended up in the hands of Sun Siqi by chance, and then she gave them to Qi Yaoting, making Qi Yaoting the number one in martial arts in the Trial Grounds.

This time, Su Jinyue will not let Sun Siqi get this good thing!

Thinking about all this, Su Jinyue unknowingly walked to the stream.

The stream water was very clear and cold, probably because the surrounding spiritual energy was very rich, and the water also contained a faint spiritual energy.

Su Jinyue quickly washed herself and took the opportunity to change her modern clothes into the robes of the cultivation world, but in a modern style.

After washing up, Su Jinyue looked up and caught a glimpse of a glimmer of light at the bottom of the stream.

Su Jinyue turned her head and looked closely. The stream was not deep, only up to Su Jinyue's knees. In order to see more clearly, Su Jinyue walked directly into the water and headed towards the light.

Picking up the object that was reflecting light in the water, Su Jinyue examined it closely and discovered that it was actually a spirit stone!

The spirit stone wasn't large; it had probably been in the stream for quite some time, as its sharp edges had worn away, turning it into a pebble.

But Su Jinyue's senses were correct; this was indeed a spirit stone, although the spiritual energy within it was already quite low.

Su Jinyue continued to explore the stream. If there were spirit stones, there shouldn't be only one; there should be more in this stream.

But after searching the vicinity for a long time, Su Jinyue couldn't find a trace of spirit stones.

Su Jinyue sat by the stream, holding the pebble-shaped spirit stone, lost in thought. Had she misjudged it?

That shouldn't be the case. The spiritual energy around here is so rich, and there are even spirit stones in the stream, which means there's a high chance there's a spirit stone mine nearby!

Su Jinyue guessed that perhaps her search area was too small. Only a little over a day had passed, less than two days, so she still had time to search.

Knowing that there might be a spirit stone mine, Su Jinyue didn't want to give up, as relying solely on the spiritual energy in the air for cultivation was still too slow.

Su Jinyue was able to draw spiritual energy into her body so quickly thanks to that spirit tree, but as she cultivates, her need for spiritual energy will increase, and the spirit tree simply cannot meet her needs.

But if there is a spirit stone mine, it's a different story. Even a small spirit stone mine can temporarily meet her cultivation needs.

Su Jinyue was still lost in thought by the stream when, unexpectedly, the little squirrel finished eating the spiritual fruit and chased after her again.

The little squirrel squeaked beside Su Jinyue's hand, looking at her with expectant eyes. Su Jinyue looked at the cute little squirrel and said with a smile.

"Want to eat more spirit fruit?"

Su Jinyue teased the little squirrel with the spirit stone in her hand for a while, and then gave it a spirit fruit.

The little squirrel had probably already eaten its fill, so it didn't immediately start eating the spirit fruit it received.

It first held the spirit fruit, stood there and looked at Su Jinyue for a while, and then suddenly ran away.

After the squirrel left, Su Jinyue was still unwilling to give up and searched the surrounding area again, but naturally she found nothing.

Su Jinyue temporarily gave up. She was hungry and decided to fill her stomach first before searching for the spirit stone mine.

Just as Su Jinyue was about to turn back, the little squirrel came back to find her again.

This time, the spirit fruit in the little squirrel's hand was gone, probably hidden away, but Su Jinyue couldn't see what it was holding.

When the little squirrel saw Su Jinyue, it rushed straight towards her and quickly jumped onto her shoulder.
