He had a real Jade Spoon embedded in his chest, the handle inscribed with "A Spoon of Knowledge about Summer," and the Engraved Marks were seeping Star Marrow.
"It’s time to awaken the true Heavenly Craft Secret Classic..."
In the moment when the starlight engulfed us, I tasted the flavor of the year 213 BC.
The Bronze mixed with the salty tang of human blood, and Shen Yanbai chuckled softly in my ear, "Silly girl, the Heat Level has been reached."
On the day of the Rain Awakening seven years later, droplets suddenly formed on the Bronze Star Map in the intelligent sunroom.
I touched the Biological Chip pulsing beneath my synthetic skin, showcasing a Holographic Projection to my newly accepted apprentice—fragments of data from that quantum explosion still played on loop in the intangible heritage cloud.
"Is this why Teacher Su was disfigured?" The apprentice pointed at the burning figure in the projection.
I brushed my fingers over the Bronze-colored neural scar on my face as Chen Pi Xiang's aroma wafted from the smart cooking station—the taste algorithm left by Shen Yanbai was teaching the robot to restore the ancient method of "Three Hangings, Three Airings."
Suddenly, the holographic Star Map twisted into the shape of a Bronze Urn.
Lin Wanyi's Quantum Residuum sneered in the light spot:
"Do you think you've won?"
She pointed out the window at the construction of Smart Food City.
"The moment Star Marrow enters the jar is about to arrive..."
The Cold Storage Alarm suddenly blared, interrupting her taunt.
As I rushed into the Cellar, the Intelligent Excavator had already breached the cellar wall from the Guangxu Era.
The Foreman waved a Holographic Blueprint, shouting:
"Detected underground Bronze artifacts, suspected Warring States Relics!"
The Jade Spoon burned in my palm as I felt the newly formed Engraved Marks on its handle—these were discovered this morning in front of Shen Yan's White Robe Mausoleum.
As the Spoon was inserted into the crack in the cellar wall, the Smart Detection Device suddenly went black.
A two-thousand-year-old Bronze Urn slowly rose from the ground, its body adorned with a Beidou Pattern glowing with Star Essence Blue Light.
"Step back!" I shouted to the workers who wanted to take pictures.
At the moment the Vessel Lid opened, Chen Pi Xiang mixed with a Quantum Data Stream surged out, forming Shen Yanbai's face in midair.
His voice resonated through my ear bones:
“Star Marrow has been pickled for two thousand years; it’s time to unseal it.”
As the workers screamed and fled,
I reached into the Bronze Urn.
The Mycelium of Quantum State entwined my fingers,
and the Smart Bracelet displayed a successful DNA match—
At the bottom of the urn lay a Bronze Casting of the Heavenly Craft Secret Classic,
each page etched with Shen Yanbai's Nerve Network diagram.
“You are the true secret text…”
I knelt before the urn,
watching the illusions emerging in the Star Essence Blue Light:
On the night of the Quantum Explosion,
Shen Yanbai inscribed his neural code into the Star Marrow,
sealing away seven years of time within the Bronze Urn.
Suddenly, a booming sound from the direction of Smart Food City echoed,
and Lin Wanyi's holographic image expanded between the buildings:
“Thank you, Teacher Su, for opening the urn!”
Her Quantum Tentacle snatched away the Bronze Secret Classic,
but I tightened my grip on the Jade Spoon at the bottom of the urn—
The residue of Star Marrow,
was seeping into my blood with the sweetness of Chen Pi Candy from 1998.
As the torrential rain poured down that night, I stood before Shen Yanbai's mausoleum and opened the Bronze Secret Classic.
The intelligent microscope revealed that within the gaps of the Nerve Network lay recipes inscribed with Star Marrow: Quantum Chenpi Duck, Biological Chip Detox Soup, and a final line in small print—" Heat Level is to make you live and hate me."
The rain washed over the Bronze scars, and I tasted the flavor of Star Marrow.
The despair of two thousand years ago from Warring States Su Zhi, the excruciating pain of Quantum Collapse seven years prior, all transformed into a lingering sweetness in my throat.
As the first rays of morning light pierced through the clouds, the Smart Bracelet suddenly vibrated, displaying new Star Map Coordinates—Shen Yanbai's Biological Chip was synchronizing its rebirth Countdown.
(The End)
