Emotional escalation and the counterattack of the pretense system

After the light screen disappeared, the ground slowly opened, revealing a passage leading underground.

The passage was filled with a soft glow, as if summoning everyone.

It seems this is the way to the Treasure Trove, everyone follow me closely, Ye Qiu said, a hint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

The group slowly descended along the passage, and the walls on both sides were embedded with various glowing crystals, illuminating the passage as bright as day.

As they moved forward, the female protagonists followed closely behind Ye Qiu, trusting him completely, while Ye Qiu kept a constant watch on the surroundings, protecting everyone's safety.

Ye Qiu, you are really amazing, you can easily solve any difficulty we encounter, Lia looked at Ye Qiu with admiration, love flashing in her eyes.

Ye Qiu smiled slightly and gently held Lia's hand, With me here, I won't let any of you get hurt.

Zi Li teased from the side, Lia, don't be so obvious, we all know your feelings for Ye Qiu.

Lia's face turned red instantly, and she coquettishly said, Zi Li, you only know how to tease me.

Qian Xue also added, Actually, we all know in our hearts that Ye Qiu's position in our hearts is irreplaceable.

Xiao Meng blinked her big eyes and said obediently, I also like Brother Ye Qiu the most.

Hearing the words of the female protagonists, a warm current surged in Ye Qiu's heart, as he knew well that he shouldered the responsibility of protecting them and cherished the feelings between them.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded in Ye Qiu's mind, Congratulations to the host for successfully displaying charm in front of the female protagonists, gaining 100 prestige value.

Ye Qiu's heart stirred; this was the notification from the show-off system he had obtained earlier, which could grant corresponding prestige value based on his show-off behavior, and prestige value could be exchanged for various powerful items and skills.

It seems I need to show off more in front of them in the future, Ye Qiu thought to himself, the corners of his mouth curling up unconsciously.

Ye Qiu, what are you smiling about? Zi Li asked curiously.

Nothing, just thinking that we will definitely find the Treasure Trove smoothly, Ye Qiu replied with a smile.

The group continued to Move forward and arrived at a huge underground cavern, which was filled with various treasure chests and strange items, emitting an alluring glow.

Wow, so much Treasure Trove! Xiao Meng ran over excitedly.

However, when she approached a treasure chest, a black ray suddenly shot out from the chest, attacking Xiao Meng.

Careful! Ye Qiu shouted and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Meng, activating his Star Power to form a Star Shield, blocking the black ray.

Hmph, daring to hurt my people in front of me, Ye Qiu snorted coldly, activating the show-off system and saying loudly, A mere trap, how dare you show off your skills before me!

Congratulations to the host for a successful show-off, gaining 50 prestige value, the System notification sounded.

Relying on his powerful strength, Ye Qiu easily resolved the trap's attack and observed the surroundings carefully, discovering that all these treasures were surrounded by various mechanisms.

Everyone, don't Move around yet, the mechanisms around these treasures are very dangerous, Ye Qiu said.

He activated the detection function of the show-off system, spending some prestige value to instantly gain insight into the locations and cracking methods of all the mechanisms.

Watch me, Ye Qiu walked confidently toward a treasure chest, and following the cracking method provided by the System, he easily disarmed the mechanism and opened the chest.

The chest contained a gem emitting five-colored light, containing powerful energy.

This gem will be of great help to our Cultivate, Ye Qiu said, putting the gem away.

Under Ye Qiu's leadership, the group opened the treasure chests one by one, harvesting many precious treasures, and every time he successfully opened a treasure chest, Ye Qiu would time his show-off perfectly, gaining quite a bit of prestige value.

Ye Qiu, you are too amazing, these mechanisms are like child's play in front of you, Qian Xue praised.

Ye Qiu smiled and said, That goes without saying, with me here, nothing can stump us.

Congratulations to the host for a successful show-off, gaining 30 prestige value, the System notification sounded again.

As the prestige value continued to increase, Ye Qiu entered the System space, preparing to exchange for some powerful skills, finding a wide array of skills, including attack skills, defensive skills, auxiliary skills, and so on.

After some selection, Ye Qiu exchanged for a powerful skill called Star Domain, which allowed him to create a Domain of his own during battle, within which his strength would be greatly enhanced while the enemy's strength would be weakened.

With this skill, I will be more confident when encountering danger in the future, Ye Qiu said with satisfaction.

When he came out of the System space, the female protagonists were all looking at him curiously.

Ye Qiu, why were you suddenly dazed just now? Lia asked.

Ye Qiu smiled mysteriously, I just went to a mysterious place and obtained a powerful skill, so I can better protect you in the future.

Wow, really? Show us quickly, Xiao Meng said excitedly.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, Now is not the time, you'll know when we encounter danger.

The group continued to explore the cavern when suddenly, a low roar came from the depths, and a huge monster slowly walked out, as huge as a mountain, covered in black scales, with three huge horns on its head, and its eyes flashing with blood-red light.

Careful, this monster looks very powerful, Ye Qiu's expression was grave as he shielded the female protagonists behind him.

The monster opened its huge mouth and spat a stream of black flames at the group, the temperature of which was extremely high, melting rocks wherever they went.

Ye Qiu cast Star Shield to block the black flames outside, activated the show-off system, and shouted loudly, You beast, how dare you come out and run wild!

Congratulations to the host for a successful show-off, gaining 80 prestige value, the System notification sounded.

Ye Qiu cast the newly exchanged Star Domain, and instantly, a huge Star Domain appeared in the cavern, within which Ye Qiu's strength instantly increased while the monster's movements became sluggish.

Look at my Star Rending Sword! A long sword condensed from Star Power appeared in Ye Qiu's hand, and he flashed toward the monster.

The monster sensed the threat and waved its huge claws to grab Ye Qiu, who easily dodged the attack, and with a wave of his long sword, a brilliant sword light slashed across the monster's body, causing it to roar as a wound appeared.

the female protagonists also joined the fight, with Zi Li manipulating the Water Element to form huge water dragons rushing toward the monster, Qian Xue casting dark Sword Qi to leave wounds, Lia's wind-type Spell constantly interfering with the monster's movements, and Xiao Meng providing buffs for everyone.

Under their combined attack, the monster gradually couldn't hold on, so Ye Qiu seized the opportunity and unleashed his strongest attack, the Star Power gathering into a huge beam of light that directly pierced through the monster's body.

The monster let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground, and turned into a pool of blood.

We succeeded! Lia ran excitedly toward Ye Qiu and threw herself into his arms.

Ye Qiu gently stroked Lia's hair, With everyone here, any difficulty can be overcome.

Congratulations to the host for a successful show-off, gaining 100 prestige value, the System notification sounded again.

After this battle, the feelings of the female protagonists for Ye Qiu deepened, as they knew well that in this dangerous Universe, only Ye Qiu could bring them a sense of security.

And Ye Qiu also cherished the feelings between them even more, secretly vowing to make them happy forever.

In the deepest part of the cavern, they discovered a huge energy core emitting powerful light and containing endless energy.

The energy of this energy core is even more powerful than the energy crystals we obtained before, Ye Qiu said.

He decided to bring this energy core back to the spaceship to provide more powerful power for its upgrade.

During the process of transporting the energy core, although they encountered some small troubles, they were all easily solved by Ye Qiu, and every time he solved a problem, Ye Qiu would time his show-off perfectly, gaining prestige value.

Finally, they successfully transported the energy core to the spaceship, and after returning, Ye Qiu immediately began to upgrade and modify it.

In the process of upgrading and modifying, Ye Qiu fully exerted his wisdom and strength, and also used some Advanced technology and Materials exchanged from the show-off system.

the female protagonists also helped from the side, and although they didn't understand the technology, they did their best to provide various support for Ye Qiu.

After a period of hard work, the upgrade and modification of the spaceship were finally completed, its performance greatly improved with faster speed, stronger defense, and more Advanced weapon Systems.

With this spaceship, we can explore the Universe more freely, Ye Qiu said excitedly.

the female protagonists surrounded Ye Qiu, their faces filled with happy smiles.

Ye Qiu, no matter where we go, we must always be together, Lia said, looking at Ye Qiu affectionately.

Ye Qiu nodded, Of course, we will never be separated.

In the following days, Ye Qiu and the female protagonists drove the spaceship to continue their adventures in the Universe, and every time they encountered danger, Ye Qiu would rely on his own strength and the help of the show-off system to lead everyone through danger.

In a thrilling adventure, after overcoming thousands of hardships, they finally traversed the vast Universe and arrived at a planet full of mystery.

This planet was like a brilliant pearl embedded in the pitch-black sky, emitting a charming and awe-inspiring light, and when everyone set foot on this land, they were immediately shocked by what they saw—there actually lived a highly developed intelligent creature here!

These creatures not only possessed unimaginable powerful technological strength but also mastered many mysterious powers, with their buildings towering into the clouds in strange and magnificent shapes, vehicles shuttling freely in the air as fast as lightning, and all kinds of Advanced equipment dazzling to the eye.

However, due to cultural differences and conflicts of interest, Ye Qiu and the beautiful female protagonists around him soon had intense conflicts with these mysterious creatures, and a thrilling battle began!

On the battlefield filled with flames and smoke, Ye Qiu took the lead, holding a Sharp Weapon, and rushed toward the enemy line bravely, his movements agile, his Moves fierce and ruthless, and every Move containing endless power, making the enemy fearful.

At the same time, the female protagonists did not show weakness, each unleashing their unique skills and Spells, cooperating with Ye Qiu to fight against the invading enemies together.
