Chapter 2, The Mysterious Package

This is a very ordinary package, similar to the ones Wang Fang buys online, but it lacks the necessary address, recipient, and postage that should be on a parcel; it is merely a cardboard box. Wang Fang picked up a pair of scissors and cut open the seal of the package, then opened it, only to find that there was still another box inside, although this inner box was not the same as the outer one. Firstly, it was smaller and of a different color, and it seemed that there was something inside the paper. Could it be that this box contains yet another box?

Wang Fang clasped his hands together and then pressed them on the lead box, the entire structure of the box vividly appearing in his mind. The box was entirely made of lead, and inside it lay a circular metal block composed of an unknown material. This metal block seemed to subtly repel Wang Fang's mental scanning. Beyond the metal block, there was an energy that surged outward but was obstructed by the box, allowing only a faint amount of energy to penetrate through. The area where this weak energy was most concentrated formed a dense beam of light in Wang Fang's mental vision, directing itself towards the void of the West, subtly indicating something.

The room rented by Wang Fang is not far from the hospital, which happens to be the affiliated hospital of Jiangnan University where he studies. Therefore, it is also not far from the school. Wang Fang rented a house in the vicinity of the school, and the distance is less than 1 kilometer. He did not take a taxi but simply walked back with Uncle Wang, treating it as a way to exercise and take a stroll.

"Wang Bo, what day is it today? How long have I been unconscious?" The once towering Wang Bo now appeared aged, his physique no longer as robust as before, his head almost entirely covered in silver hair, and his face now bore only signs of weariness and concern. "Today is June 1st. By my calculations, you have been unconscious for over twenty days. Fortunately, with the blessing of heaven, you have finally awakened."

Hehe. Wang Fang immediately guessed from Wang Bo's awkward expression. Have you seen the person in question? What do you think of them?

Inside, there was actually a metal box engraved with mysterious patterns, which is truly a case of bad taste taken to the extreme. What is this box made of? Wang Fang picked up the box and was about to unlock the small lock on it when a strange message entered his mind, causing him to halt his actions. Is this lead?

"Did they not say anything?" Wang Fang stared fixedly at Wang Bo. "No, but I think Shao Quan and the others have their own difficulties..." "No need to say more, what difficulties could be more important than their son's life? In this world, where are there such parents?"

"Fangzi, there is something I would like to say to you." Wang Bo glanced at Wang Fang, hesitating to speak. "If you have something to say, just say it. After living together for so many years, does Wang Bo still not understand me?"

Wang Fang did not stop, pushing the box aside. Indeed, inside the box was yet another box. It was unexpected that those irresponsible parents had such a twisted sense of humor. Well, Wang Fang's curiosity grew even stronger as he peeled away the layers of the cardboard box, continuing until he reached the tenth layer. By the end, the box had become quite small, but when he picked it up with his hand, it still had considerable weight. It seemed he had finally reached the end of the peeling.

"The old man Li introduced me to a woman from out of town, quite beautiful and well-mannered, but she also brought a daughter with her." "Alright, Uncle Wang, I know what you want to say. Our house is so big, and it feels rather empty with just the two of us living here. Let them move in; it will be livelier."

Wang Fang rented an apartment consisting of two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. It was in this way that he first met Li Qian. He arrived first, and then Li Jing moved in as well. The two gradually became familiar with each other and eventually developed into a couple. At that time, Li Qian's room became a temporary accommodation for some visiting friends. For more than twenty days, Wang Bo has been staying there.

The situation is as follows: some time ago, a friend of mine, well, it was Old Man Li who sets up a stall on Qianmen Street, gave me a call. Old Man Li, it seems he no longer sets up a stall; now he appears to be helping his son manage a marriage agency. What happened? Did he introduce you to someone? Haha, I said, Uncle Wang, you really should find a partner; being single all the time isn't good, is it?

This information, Wang Fang was surprisingly familiar with. This feeling, it turns out, is analysis. Could alchemy actually be applied in reality? Could it be that this is not merely a dream?

Home is still the most comfortable place. Previously, in the hospital, Wang Fang always felt a sense of oppression. This feeling has been present whether in a large hospital or a small one. Therefore, unless he is seriously ill, he would not go to the hospital. In such places, staying for too long can make one feel unwell even without any illness.

It has been more than twenty days since he last returned, and everything here remains the same as before, except that some things are missing. Wang Fang sighed and turned his gaze to the table, where next to the laptop lay a yellow package. This must be the item left for him by his irresponsible parents. What could it be?

Wang Bo did not continue to persuade; he merely sighed and walked outside. After living together for many years, he was all too familiar with Wang Fang's character, and the room returned to tranquility.

I just heard Li Xin say that my parents seem to have come back, they, they? Your parents did indeed come back, but they only came to see you and then left again. However, it seems they left you something, placed in your room.

"Well, after a few days when I receive my graduation certificate, I plan to go back. This time, I might stay at home for quite a long period. " Uncle Wang did not say anything else, just following closely behind him, as if everything were just like when he was a child. "There is a Jia supermarket not far from my house. Let's go buy some things. During this time, I have suffered significant losses and need to make up for it properly."

Wang Fang, feeling somewhat curious, could not help but take it in hand. Then, he lay down on the bed and casually took a pair of scissors from the drawer under the table, intending to cut open the seal and the tape on it

Finally home, Wang Fang put down all the large and small bags. The twenty days of coma had indeed left him much weaker, and after such a short distance, he was exhausted from carrying just a few small bags. "Uncle Wang, I leave tonight's dinner to you; I really can't manage it anymore"

In today's society, even hospitals are not good places. They practically wish for you to stay a few more days, to send them more money. Treating a cold can easily cost you thousands. It's truly garbage. Alright, let's go take care of the discharge procedures. Wang Fang climbed out of bed. Although his body was weak, it did not hinder his movements. "Uncle Wang, look, I'm doing quite well now, right?" He waved his fists freely, moving his body that had been dormant for several days, and indeed felt quite good.

Wang Fang struggled to sit up and said, "There is no need to stay in the hospital any longer; we should discharge ourselves now." "How can that be?" Wang Bo hurriedly intervened. "The doctor has already said that I am fine, just a bit weak. Buying a few chickens to raise will suffice; there is no need to waste money here."
