36: Little Elf Yoyo

Wang Chen's consciousness felt as if it had entered a marvelous space.

It was no longer the semi-transparent blue light screen suspended before his eyes, but a real, three-dimensional environment. The space wasn't large, resembling a cozy small room. The four walls and ceiling emitted a soft white light that was neither blinding nor oppressive.

His 'body' stood in the center of this space, and beneath his feet was a floor as smooth as a mirror, reflecting his silhouette.

"Master! Welcome to the system's core space! (≧▽≦)/"

A sweet, cheerful, and familiar female voice rang out. It was indeed the voice of the system sprite, Youyou, but this time it wasn't just a voice—there was an image.

Wang Chen followed the sound and saw a little sprite about thirty centimeters tall, fluttering her transparent wings as she hovered before him.

She wore an extremely exquisite pink princess dress adorned with tiny sparkles like starlight. Her hair was a light pink, styled into two cute buns. Her large, pale purple eyes sparkled brilliantly, and her small nose and mouth combined to form a face as delicate as carved jade—so adorable it could melt one's heart at a glance. In her hand, she held a small pink magic wand with a heart-shaped tip.

This image perfectly hit every fantasy Wang Chen had about sprites! Brimming with cuteness, she instantly melted his old fatherly... no, his old veteran's heart!

"You... you're Youyou?" Wang Chen's eyes widened, and he subconsciously reached out a finger, wanting to poke her soft-looking little cheek.

"That's right, that's right! The one and only, the universe's most invincible and super cute system sprite—Youyou is me! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧" Youyou proudly puffed out her little chest and waved her magic wand, tracing a pink halo in the air.

"Good heavens, so this is what you look like! If I'd known you were this cute, I would've had a better attitude before!" Wang Chen marveled, feeling his world-weary heart being healed.

"Hmph! Now you know how amazing this sprite is!" Youyou wrinkled her little nose smugly, then began to perform her duties, pointing around with her small magic wand. "Master, please look! This is the upgraded system space!"

Wang Chen looked in the direction she pointed. Three walls of this 3D space were occupied by massive light screens.

The light screen directly facing him had the richest content. It looked like a super-upgraded version of his previous personal panel, with more detailed data, a more beautiful layout, and even some dynamic effects.

The light screen on the left appeared much more mysterious. Its background was an endless starry sky with countless flickering icons and text floating upon it. At the very top were four shimmering large characters: Godly Tycoon Mall.

The light screen on the right was completely grey, showing a lock icon with a line of small text underneath: "System Version 3.0 Unlock."

On the wall without a light screen stood a cabinet made of an unknown material that occupied the entire wall, covered in dense, small compartments.

"Master, let Youyou give you a detailed introduction!" Youyou flew over and sat on his shoulder, swinging her little legs as she began her explanation.

"The one directly in front is your Comprehensive Information Panel—essentially the personal panel Plus, Pro, Max, Ultra... anyway, it's the super invincible enhanced version! It contains all your attributes, assets, skills, interpersonal networks, and so on!"

"The one on the left is one of the cores of this upgrade, the Godly Tycoon Mall! It contains countless good things from the myriad realms, the past, and the future!"

"Technological blueprints ahead of the current world, black technology products, transcendent skills, loyalty contracts for special talents, and even some wonderful items you can't even imagine—we have them all here!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen's eyes lit up. He asked impatiently, "A mall? What's inside? Let me see!"

Youyou tapped the mall's light screen with her magic wand. The screen lit up, but the icons and text remained blurred. A prompt box popped up.

【To open the system mall for the first time, you must have 100 or more godly tycoon points.】

Wang Chen: "???"

He glanced at the big "godly tycoon points: 0" on his information panel and instantly deflated.

"Holy crap! You even need a credit check? 100 godly tycoon points? I don't have any right now!" Wang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It felt like seeing a peerless beauty standing before him, only to be told he had to buy a VIP membership first just to see her face.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Master!" Youyou covered her mouth and giggled. "godly tycoon points are very easy to get. Spending 10,000 Yuan is equal to 1 Godly Tycoon Point!"

"So I have to spend 1 million? Who are you looking down on? Do I lack 1 million? What I lack is time!"

"Then what's that locked one on the right?" Wang Chen pointed to the grey light screen again.

"That one is a higher-level functional area. It requires the system to be upgraded to version 3.0 to unlock! As for what exactly it is, Youyou can't tell Master yet! (・ω＜ )★"

Finally, Youyou pointed to the cabinet.

"This is the system's built-in Storage Space! Each small compartment has an independent space inside. You can categorize and store anything except living creatures! Master, you only need a single thought to automatically collect items. It's super convenient!"

Wang Chen gave it a try. He locked his consciousness onto a water cup on the coffee table in the room and silently thought 'collect'.

The next second, the water cup vanished instantly and appeared in one of the compartments. With another thought to 'retrieve', the cup returned to the coffee table.

"Awesome!" Wang Chen praised sincerely. This was basically a portable dimension! He wouldn't even need to carry a suitcase when going out anymore!

Having understood the system's new functions, Wang Chen rubbed his hands together, an expectant smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, Youyou, the function introduction is over. Next, it should be the exciting prize-drawing segment, right? Where are my rewards?"

"Coming, coming! (๑´`๑)" Youyou flew excitedly in front of him. With a wave of her small hand, three light orbs emitting different glows appeared out of thin air, hovering before Wang Chen.

The first light orb was orange, representing the achievement reward for 【Personal Assets Exceeding 10 Million RMB for the First Time】.

The second light orb was yellow and emitted an even more dazzling glow, representing the achievement reward for 【Personal Assets Exceeding 50 Million RMB for the First Time】.

The third light orb was in the shape of a pink heart. This was clearly the 【Mysterious Grand Prize】 for reaching 100 intimacy with Qin Qing.

"Which one should I open first?" Wang Chen rolled up his sleeves.

"I suggest Master start with the orange one! Going from low to high makes the surprises double! (≧∇≦)ﾉ" Youyou acted as his advisor from the side.

"Alright! I'll listen to you!" Wang Chen reached out and touched the orange light orb.

The light orb shattered, transforming into a line of brilliant text.
