The mystery of the pretentious system and the affectionate dialogue

In the mysterious valley, Ye Qiu and his companions were awestruck by the ancient complex of buildings before them.

These structures seemed to have emerged from the long river of time, standing silently, exuding a mysterious and solemn aura.

The walls of the buildings were covered with complex runes and patterns; every line, every symbol seemed to record an unknown ancient history.

Ye Qiu observed these symbols with complete concentration, his eyes showing focus and persistence.

In his mind, the System's prompts were like fine spring rain, constantly providing him with clues to interpret the meaning behind these symbols.

After a difficult period of contemplation and attempts, Ye Qiu finally succeeded in deciphering the secret of one of the symbols, which, like a bright lamp, pointed to a hidden entrance.

“Everyone, follow me, I’ve found an entrance.”

Ye Qiu said confidently, his voice echoing in the valley with an unquestionable power.

Everyone immediately followed Ye Qiu to the entrance, where a huge stone door stood before them, engraved with the same symbols as before, as if narrating the vicissitudes of time.

Following the clues he had previously deciphered, Ye Qiu focused his mind and input his internal energy into the mechanism on the stone door in a specific sequence.

His hands moved quickly, and soft rays of light flowed from his fingertips, precisely merging into the runes on the stone door.

As the energy was injected, the stone door emitted a dull rumble and slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading underground.

The staircase was filled with an old scent, as if inviting them to step into an unknown world.

They carefully walked in, and the basement was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Various gems were embedded in the surrounding walls, emitting a soft and strange light that illuminated the entire basement like a dream.

In the center of the basement, there was an ancient altar, on which an antique box was placed, exuding a mysterious aura, as if calling to them.

Ye Qiu stepped forward and carefully observed the box.

He found that the box had an extremely complex locking mechanism, with intricate patterns woven together on the lock, like a complex maze that needed to be solved to open it.

“We need to find clues to unlock this lock.”

Ye Qiu said calmly, his eyes showing determination, which gave his companions confidence.

Everyone immediately dispersed, searching everywhere in the basement, hoping to find the key clue to open the box.

In a hidden corner, Li Yue discovered a stone slab.

The stone slab was engraved with some blurry text and patterns, which were somewhat difficult to discern due to the erosion of time.

Li Yue squatted down, gently brushed away the dust from the stone slab, and carefully examined every detail.

She found that these texts seemed to be some kind of ancient code, possibly closely related to the locking mechanism on the box.

“Ye Qiu, look at this, it might be the clue to unlock it.”

Li Yue exclaimed excitedly, her voice carrying a hint of surprise.

Ye Qiu quickly walked over and studied the information on the stone slab with Li Yue.

They compared the patterns and texts on the stone slab, found the corresponding mechanism on the box, and began to try to unlock it.

Ye Qiu used his wisdom and the knowledge given by the System, constantly trying various methods.

He sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes decisively pressed the mechanism, every action full of confidence.

After multiple attempts and adjustments, finally, the lock on the box emitted a crisp sound and was successfully opened.

The box slowly opened, revealing an ancient item inside, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

Ye Qiu took it out and found it was an exquisite jade pendant, carved with complex and beautiful patterns.

These patterns seemed to have life, shimmering with mysterious light in the faint illumination.

“This jade pendant seems very important, we should keep it safe.”

Ye Qiu said, his eyes showing cherish.

Just then, the System's prompt sounded again: “Detected that the host has obtained a mysterious jade pendant; this jade pendant is closely related to the key of wisdom and may help the host find clues to the key of wisdom.”

Ye Qiu was overjoyed; he knew they were one step closer to the key of wisdom.

He carefully put away the jade pendant and led his companions out of the basement, continuing to search for clues in the valley.

In the days that followed, the relationship between Ye Qiu and Li Yue grew closer.

Whenever night fell, a bonfire burned brightly in the camp, its warm light illuminating everything around.

Ye Qiu and Li Yue would sit by the bonfire, sharing their stories and feelings.

Ye Qiu would vividly recount his adventures in the modern world, from bustling cities to mysterious ruins, from thrilling battles to marvelous technological inventions.

He described skyscrapers, cars, airplanes, and various astonishing modern technologies, and Li Yue listened captivated by these novelties.

“In our world, there is something called a mobile phone; it can allow people thousands of miles apart to communicate instantly and also know anything happening in the world.”

Ye Qiu said colorfully, his eyes sparkling.

Li Yue’s mouth opened wide in surprise: “Is there really such a magical thing? It sounds like magic.”

Ye Qiu smiled and nodded: “Yes, sometimes the power of technology is even more magical than magic.”

And Li Yue would share her experiences and feelings in the ancient world.

She recounted her growth experiences, the ancient Family traditions, mysterious Cultivate methods, and the grievances and enmities in the Jianghu.

Her voice was gentle and pleasant, as if taking Ye Qiu through Transmigration to that legendary ancient world.

“When I was young, I followed my master to Cultivate deep in the mountains; every day I faced various difficult trials, but it was precisely those experiences that made me stronger.”

Li Yue recalled the past, a hint of emotion in her eyes.

Ye Qiu listened attentively, holding Li Yue’s hand: “Your experiences are truly wonderful, and they make me understand you even better.”

Once, Ye Qiu demonstrated the functions of the show-off system to Li Yue in detail.

He stood on a giant rock, surrounded by an open grassland, a gentle breeze blowing through, rustling his clothes.

He deliberately struck a handsome pose and activated the show-off mode.

“Watch closely, Li Yue.”

Ye Qiu said confidently.

He first displayed a cool skill, a dazzling light blooming from his hand, illuminating the entire grassland.

The surrounding companions were all attracted by this sudden light, casting surprised glances.

“Detected that the host has successfully shown off, gaining 500 prestige value.”

The System's prompt sounded in Ye Qiu's mind.

Ye Qiu smiled smugly and continued: “I can earn prestige value by completing various tasks and challenges, and this prestige value can be exchanged for various powerful resources and skills.”

Saying that, he opened the System interface and showed Li Yue various items and skills that could be exchanged.

“Wow, this System is truly amazing, it can help us become stronger.”

Li Yue exclaimed, her eyes full of curiosity and admiration.

Ye Qiu jumped down from the giant rock and walked to Li Yue’s side: “Yes, with it, we have an extra guarantee when facing difficulties.

And every time I successfully show off and gain prestige value, that feeling is truly great.”
