Chapter 22: Cutting Iron Like Mud

  The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, yesterday was spent typing, sleeping, typing and sleeping, so bleak, please recommend and collect to comfort me.

  Standing still for a moment, Guo Zhengyang stretched out his hand again. Although the crooked gourd on the ground had made him feel like vomiting when he grabbed it earlier, he didn't dare to experiment with his clothes casually again. So he also wanted to try and see if there would be any changes or differences after the gourd swallowed one of his clothes.

  After all, this crooked gourd swallowed a piece of clothing, will there be any changes in weight or other aspects?

  When he really reached out and grabbed the gourd, Guo Zhengyang's face quickly changed again, becoming very strange. Because he found that this thing had indeed changed, but not in terms of weight or anything like that. Instead, he no longer felt that bloated, about-to-vomit feeling when holding it.

  Now he holds the gourd as if it were a normal ordinary gourd, without any discomfort.

  But apart from this, the calabaza is still the same as before, and there is no difference compared to when it was first discovered. It still looks like a crooked gourd with a rough appearance.

  After swallowing a piece of clothing belonging to Guo Zhengyang, the only change was that the feeling of being very full disappeared.

  "No way, it makes me feel full to the point of vomiting, but after swallowing a piece of clothing, I don't feel full anymore? Full to the point of vomiting, eat a piece of clothing and no longer vomit?"

  Staring blankly at the gourd, Guo Zhengyang couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears, this feeling was indeed too strange.

  Have you ever seen someone who has eaten so much that they are almost vomiting, and then suddenly eats a little more and is no longer full? This doesn't make sense.

  However, regardless of the logic, Guo Zhengyang thought for a moment at the original place, and then immediately got up and grabbed the gourd to go back the way he came. Although he lost an article of clothing, this gourd could indeed be easily carried by him. Such a strange thing, it's really worth taking back to study carefully.

  It took an hour to walk, and it was already past 3 am. The county seat of Yanhe County was still in sight, and Guo Zhengyang was also somewhat relieved because he had almost gotten lost just now.

  Although he left, he was always walking along a few highways, and the turns were not many. However, under the dark night sky, after walking 30 or 40 kilometers in the dark, it's not easy to return by the original route. Just now, he took two wrong roads, turned the wrong way, walked for a while before realizing something was off, and managed to turn back just in time, finally finding his way back to the county town.

  "Finally back, I have to study this gourd carefully at school, it's probably even more valuable than a Wind Flower Dan." Looking ahead, Guo Zhengyang quickened his pace, but as he walked, he suddenly stopped and stared at his right hand in astonishment.

  Before, his right hand only had one thing, which was the gourd. But just now, there was suddenly another object in his right hand. It wasn't until he looked at Guo Zhengyang that he realized it was the jacket that the gourd had swallowed earlier.

  Staring blankly at the jacket that had suddenly appeared in his hand, Guo Zhengyang was speechless. This thing had inexplicably been swallowed by the gourd, and after an hour it had suddenly reappeared? Moreover, after looking at it for a few moments, Guo Zhengyang suddenly bent down and put the jacket and the gourd underneath it on the ground, then picked up the jacket alone to examine it.

  He changed, his coat became thinner.

  The original casual suit jacket was made of the same thickness as a normal coat, but now this coat is thin like an undershirt. Although the color and style haven't changed, it has indeed become much thinner and lighter, and when held in hand, it feels like holding a piece of paper, with no feeling at all.

  This change left Guo Zhengyang stunned, and after he carefully studied it again, he took a cold breath, his eyes full of the expression of seeing a ghost. Because, not only did the coat become thinner and lighter, but its quality was also astonishing, the thin coat like an undershirt, no matter how hard Guo Zhengyang tried to tear it, he couldn't rip it!

  His full-strength explosion could easily tear out three or four hundred pounds of force, but couldn't even tear a crack.

  After some more thought, Guo Zhengyang took out a keychain from his pants pocket, which had a multi-functional folding knife on it. He used the knife to scrape and slash at the coat, but still couldn't leave any marks on it.

  But it's worth noting that this multi-functional folding knife was sharpened by Guo Zhengyang to be very sharp, and with a flick downwards, it could easily pierce through the wooden table. However, such a sharp knife had no effect on the jacket.

  Several hundred kilograms of force cannot tear it apart, and a knife cannot cut through it. Is this still just ordinary clothing?

  "This outfit of mine was swallowed by this crooked gourd for an hour, and it actually turned into a treasure robe?" Guo Zhengyang stared blankly at the coat, he was truly dumbfounded. Even though he had been a real person in his past life, he had never seen such an eerie and unbelievable gourd.

  An ordinary coat can be swallowed and then spat out to become a treasured garment? Impenetrable to swords and guns?

  He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited again. If a simple jacket could make such a change, what about other things? Like a knife, would it become sharp enough to cut through iron if thrown in?

  Thinking of this, Guo Zhengyang took off the multi-functional folding knife from his keychain and stuck it on the gourd. Then he was sucked in by the gourd again with a whoosh.

  But afterwards, Hu Lu remained silent.

  It wasn't until three or four hours later that Guo Zhengyang returned to the classroom early, after the morning self-study session had already ended. As his classmates were heading downstairs to eat breakfast with their utensils in hand, Guo Zhengyang once again pulled out the calabaza from his desk drawer, where he had wrapped it in his previously shed jacket and stuffed it inside.

  When he opened his jacket, the pickled cucumber was quietly lying inside, and the swallowed folding knife finally reappeared.

  The shape of the knife is still exactly the same as before, but it has also become smaller and thinner.

  The original multi-functional folding knife had a blade and handle that were about one finger thick, but now it has become only one or two millimeters thick. When Guo Zhengyang popped out the blade, even he himself was startled by the sharp edge hidden on the blade.

  With a slight touch to the left hand, the originally held dagger that could easily kill someone with force couldn't even pierce the skin of the left hand. It was easily cut and bled. When Guo Zhengyang stabbed the knife towards the wall, the cement wall was easily pierced through. He felt as if he wasn't stabbing a wall with a knife, but rather stabbing a piece of tofu, not using much force, yet still managed to insert the blade into the wall.

  "What kind of treasure is this? Swallowing an ordinary shirt can make it invulnerable to swords and guns, and swallowing a toy-like small knife can make the small knife cut through iron like mud? It's too unbelievable. If you put in a spiritual instrument used by a monk, will it still be able to upgrade its rank?"

  The result of the simple experiment, however, left Guo Zhengyang stunned. The horror of this gourd was beyond imagination. No matter how he sensed it, there was no spiritual energy fluctuation at all. No matter how he looked at it, it was just a long, twisted, and ugly calabaza. It felt light in his hand, but the eerie aura it emitted left even the strongest cultivators speechless.

  Guo Zhengyang wasn't someone who hadn't seen good things before. He had seen armor that was more solid than this modified jacket, and flying swords that were sharper than this knife. In his past life, he had used many of these items, but they all required searching for rare materials and using special techniques to refine them. How could something like a gourd be so easy to use, where you just threw in some trash and it came out as treasure?

  The ability of this crooked calabaza and its selling appearance are as different as the distance between a planet and a grain of rice.

  After the shock, Guo Zhengyang was overjoyed and took advantage of the time when no one was around to start studying the gourd. He still didn't know much about it, so he wanted to study it more, such as what it could swallow and what it couldn't. Did everything that got swallowed undergo a transformation?

  This crooked gourd, Guo Zhengyang can now be certain that it is worth far more than a Wind Flower Dan, this was originally supposed to be Long Fa's opportunity, and it is absolutely an incredible super opportunity, but now it has been snatched by him, truly his great luck.

  But there were still too many doubts waiting for him to explore.
