A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 213 collected light spots

Zhou Hanzhang had a headache and didn't want to continue discussing this topic with her, so he changed the subject and said, "You want that girl's blood, so call her in and draw it."

"No, I've been talking to you for so long and haven't eaten yet. The food Xiao Ba packed for me is getting cold. Go out and read a book first. I'll eat first, and then I'll talk to you about your blood."

"What's the matter? The results are in?"

Zhou Tong looked miserable. "Can you let me eat first?"

"Then you eat it."

Zhou Hanzhang even brought her the food box, saying, "Eat up."

"Are you just going to watch me eat?"

"No, you can talk while you eat."

"No, are you Zhou Bapi (a notorious skinflint)?"

Zhou Hanzhang chuckled, "So you do know about Zhou the Skinflint."

"He's so famous, who among us doesn't know him?"

Zhou Tong rolled her eyes.

"Alright, hurry up and eat."

As Zhou Hanzhang spoke, he took out the food from the lunchbox and neatly placed it in front of Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong had no choice but to eat a couple of mouthfuls of rice before saying, "Your blood is indeed different from that of ordinary people. It seems to contain an inexplicable factor that is more abundant than that of the people here, and under certain conditions, it can even glow."

"Glowing?"

"Yes, it's not ordinary luminescence. Instead, those factors float directly in the air like fireflies. But when the specific conditions disappear, those luminescent substances will slowly return to your bloodstream."

Zhou Hanzhang suddenly remembered the points of light that appeared around him when he fell asleep on the stone mountain after he went there, and he told Zhou Tong about them.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong forgot all about eating and immediately pulled Zhou Hanzhang into the laboratory.

Upon entering the laboratory, Zhou Hanzhang inexplicably felt a chill brought by technology, not a physical chill, but a chill in his heart.

The entire laboratory was bright and clean, and it even had electricity.

There was a device in every corner that she had never seen before.

While she was still in a daze, Zhou Tong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Isn't it too simple?"

Zhou Hanzhang's mouth dropped open. "You call this rudimentary?"

"It's rudimentary. If it were my old lab, I could analyze the components of your blood in less than two minutes. But here, it took me most of the day, and I still don't understand what those bright spots in your blood are."

Zhou Tong led Zhou Hanzhang to a machine that looked like a space capsule, with a silver metallic sheen inside and out.

She couldn't understand how Zhou Tong could produce these things in this era.

Although she didn't understand it, it didn't stop her from being deeply shocked.

"You lie down there."

Zhou Tong pointed to the space capsule.

Zhou Hanzhang hesitated for a moment, "Is there anything wrong with your space capsule?"

“What problem could there be? I sleep here all the time. What problem do you think there could be?”

"...No, then why do you want me to lie down on your bed?"

“My capsule has other functions, but I don’t usually use them. Since the factors in your blood will come out when you sleep in a rocky mountain, I thought I would try to simulate the environment inside the capsule like a rocky mountain and see how your body would react.”

Zhou Hanzhang looked at the cabin, still somewhat hesitant.

Seeing that she was not moving, Zhou Tong pulled her directly into the hull and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem. This is the hull that brought me to this era when I was in the explosion. It's safe."

Zhou Hanzhang reluctantly lay down, and Zhou Tong pressed some button on the outside of the cabin, and the cabin door closed immediately.

Zhou Hanzhang was about to say something when he saw Zhou Tong perform a series of actions outside, followed by a puff of white smoke that drifted past his eyes before she lost consciousness.

At this moment, Zhou Tong couldn't think of eating at all, and her eyes were fixed on Zhou Hanzhang inside the cabin.

Zhou Hanzhang quickly fell asleep under the influence of the white smoke.

As soon as she fell asleep, Zhou Tong saw that light spots began to float out from her body inside the capsule. At first, there were only a few scattered ones, but as time went on, more and more light spots appeared on Zhou Hanzhang's body, almost filling the entire capsule.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong quickly pulled out a hidden canister from the cabin. The light spots, seeing a passage to the outside, swam directly through the tube.

Zhou Tong quickly collected a bucket full of light spots. She turned off all the lights, and the light spots were especially dazzling in the darkness.

Seeing that she had collected enough, she put the tube back in its original position and then performed another series of operations, during which Zhou Hanzhang slowly woke up.

Before she woke up, the points of light rushed back into her body.

Zhou Tong opened the hatch and saw that Zhou Hanzhang seemed a little dazed. Zhou Tong helped her out of the hatch and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Aside from the feeling of just waking up, Zhou Hanzhang felt no discomfort.

"It was like taking a nap; I didn't feel much."

"Here, have a glass of water."

Zhou Tong poured her a glass of water, and only after seeing that she was indeed alright did she take out the glass jar next to her, which was full of light spots.

At first, the light spots were quite well-behaved, but as they got closer to Zhou Hanzhang, they started to go crazy inside the glass bottle, frantically crashing towards him.

"Why do I see urgency in these dots of light?"

Zhou Tong rubbed her eyes.

"When they see you, they're like dogs seeing a meat bun—not just eager, but ferocious."

"...What kind of adjective is that?"

Zhou Tong placed the glass bottle in Zhou Hanzhang's hand, "Take a close look yourself. If they had expressions, they would definitely look ferocious right now."

Zhou Hanzhang sighed, no longer arguing with Zhou Tong about whether the light spots were grotesque or not. "You put them away. What are you going to do with them?"

"The light spots in your blood should be of the same origin as these, except that the light spots in your blood are smaller than them."

Zhou Tong then took out the small specks of light she had collected from Zhou Hanzhang's blood. "Take a look at this. This is something I separated from your blood. I was planning to tell you all about it after I finished my research, but who knew you would come here like this."

Now that I have these large points of light coming from your body, I believe it won't be long before I figure out what they are.

"Alright then, you can take your time studying it. I'll take this thing back to the Jiang residence first."

"Oh, no rush. It's already past four o'clock, and we'll be eating soon. Why don't you take us out to eat first?"

Zhou Hanzhang heard a rumbling sound coming from Zhou Tong's stomach. "Why don't you ask Xiao Ba to cook you a bowl of noodles to tide you over?"
