Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 597 - 374. Star of Civilization Rises_3

A few seconds later.

The warmth faded.

The wife felt an indescribable sense of relief in her body, as if her chronic ailments had vanished.

Perhaps on a whim, a thought popped into her mind: "Shall I check my blood pressure?"

She had just turned fifty this year, and her blood pressure had always been slightly high; her husband had urged her to take medicine, but she was never willing.

The wife hurried into the bedroom, fetched the blood pressure monitor, rolled up her sleeve, and took a measurement.

The readings on the instrument surprised her—systolic 115, diastolic 75.

The numbers were very normal.

Whereas in previous measurements, both values had always slightly exceeded the norm.

The wife instantly had an epiphany: "Is this the effect of the Star of Civilization?"

She couldn’t help but marvel: "It’s so amazing!"

Just now, Mr. Ghost had said, "All the Great Xia People will also greatly benefit," and she had been somewhat skeptical.

Now the evidence was right in front of her eyes, and she fully believed Mr. Ghost’s words.

"Buzz~"

The phone suddenly vibrated.

The wife picked up the phone and glanced at it, discovering it was a text message.

She opened it and was immediately astonished.

Because the sender of the message was actually the highest executive house of Great Xia, the top governing body of Great Xia.

The content of the text message was as follows: "Dear citizens of Great Xia, the Star of Civilization has risen. At this moment worthy of celebration, we specially commend Mr. Spirit Crows, Mr. Ghost, and Mr. Wen Zehan as Civilization Pioneers."

The wife stared blankly at the phone for a few seconds, finally realizing that the significance represented by the Star of Civilization might be far greater than she had anticipated.

She hurried with the phone to the master bedroom, looking at her husband sleeping deeply, as though seeing him for the first time: "Old Wen, you actually got awarded the title of Civilization Pioneer."

As someone directly involved, she naturally knew that her Old Wen was just a slack, earning the title of Civilization Pioneer purely by luck.

"Ring~"

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Afraid of waking her husband, the wife quickly stepped out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her.

She picked up the phone again, seeing the words "Wen Xiaoya" displayed on the screen.

This was the couple’s only daughter, married to the economic center of Great Xia, Tianfu Sea City.

The wife answered the call and immediately heard her daughter’s urgent voice: "Mom, that text the country just sent, could Mr. Wen Zehan be Dad?"

She smiled faintly, deliberately teasing: "Take a guess!"

Wen Xiaoya urged: "Mom, is it or not?"

The wife kept her daughter’s appetite hanging for a moment before responding: "Yes, it’s your Dad!"

"Ah~"

A scream echoed through the phone.

The wife had already anticipated it and held the phone away to avoid the sound wave attack.

She could completely imagine her daughter dumbfounded, unable to speak from shock at this moment.

Mother and daughter spoke for quite a while before finally hanging up the call.

The wife returned to the bedroom, quietly sitting on the sofa by the bed, gazing unblinkingly at her deeply slumbering husband.

At this moment.

She suddenly felt that fate was incredibly wonderful.

*

In fact.

It wasn’t just Wen Zehan’s wife who saw the Star of Civilization and experienced significant changes in her body.

All across Great Xia, similar events unfolded consecutively.

Jiangnan Province.

Historically, this province was known for its prosperity in Great Xia.

The "Silk Road" in Great Xia’s history had its biggest source of "silk" right in the Jiangnan Region.

This doesn’t mean that ancient Great Xia only produced silk in the Jiangnan Region.

It was because the climate and soil in Jiangnan were very well suited for silkworm farming, and Jiangnan women had the most exquisite weaving skills, producing top-quality silk.

They operated the "creaking" looms, not only bringing enormous wealth to ancient Jiangnan but also contributing a substantial cultural heritage to Great Xia.

In modern times, the commerce and industry of the Jiangnan Region are very developed, and the Yangtze River Delta has become a world-renowned economic center, gathering immense wealth.

At this moment, inside a small villa.

An elderly man sat in a wheelchair by the warm greenhouse of his home, with a tablet nearby playing opera tunes.

"Eee~ya... ah~ya~"

The rhythmically swinging singing made the elderly man sway his head along.

The elderly man was already over eighty years old, having served over a decade in the military earlier, making his body quite robust.

But time inevitably left its mark on the elderly man, as he suffered from severe rheumatism, affecting his knee joints severely, making walking extremely difficult.

And then.

Out of the corner of his eye, the elderly man noticed a small light dot seemingly appearing in the sky.

He looked up at the dot, muttering indistinctly: "Could it be another disaster coming?"

Within a breath, the brightness of the dot rapidly increased, surpassing the full moon of the first and fifteenth days significantly, clearly visible even in broad daylight.

The elderly man stared for a few seconds, suddenly feeling a warm sensation enveloping his knee joints, just like being soaked in hot water, extremely comfortable.

In wonder, he couldn’t help but stroke them a few times.

Previously, even a light touch to the joints would cause mild pain, but now he squeezed and rubbed, without any hint of pain.

Thinking for a moment, the elderly man steadied himself on the wheelchair, surprisingly stood up, and walked a few steps.

Initially, he was a bit shaky, having not walked for years.

But the more he walked, the steadier he became, soon striding with large confident steps.

He walked several rounds around the greenhouse, growing more delighted with each step, finally bursting into laughter.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound suddenly came from behind.

It sounded like a porcelain bowl or something similar breaking.

Turning back, the elderly man immediately saw his eldest daughter standing dumbfounded at the entrance of the greenhouse, staring at him.
