Ming Li looked at the system in front of her, who was in a complete panic, with a chilling smile, and asked, "Is this book good?"
The system froze for a moment, not understanding. Meeting Ming Li's gaze, it blurted out, "It's good."
Immediately regretting its words, the system hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. "Host, please listen to me. It's not what you think. I just thought this book was good, so I took a couple of peeks. I had no other intentions. Host, you have to believe me!"
Ming Li listened to the system's explanation, her gaze still fixed on the system and the book it was tightly holding.
After the system finished speaking and saw that Ming Li had no reaction, its gaze remained fixed on it and the book in its arms.
Wait! The book!
Thinking of the book still in its embrace, the system suddenly felt terrible. It swiftly put the book back in its original place. Then, with a reluctant glance at the book it had returned, the system floated back to Ming Li's side and sheepishly explained, "Host, you have to believe me! I was just curious. I never intended to claim the book as my own or put it into my little storage! Really, really!"
Ming Li: "...Could your intentions be any more obvious?"
Ming Li, holding the system, walked out of Wen Yan's room as if no one else was there. It was then that the system realized everything in the room had been frozen. Wen Yan sat motionless on the bed, the curtains stirred by the wind held aloft, and not far from the window, a blue butterfly was frozen in mid-air...
The system, stunned by this scene: ...silently picked up its jaw that had fallen to the floor and silently comforted itself, "It's just a small situation, a small situation. Don't be so surprised... it's embarrassing. After all, it's not the first day its amazing host has been so powerful..."
Two seconds after Ming Li left Wen Yan's room, everything in the room returned to normal.
Wen Yan, sitting on the bed, blinked and rubbed his forehead, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
Just then, Wen Yan's gaze fell upon the book "The Hacker Boss's Self-Cultivation," which the system had opened. Wen Yan furrowed his brow.
What was going on? How did this book suddenly open? He remembered clearly that he had closed it and placed it on the desk. The wind wasn't strong now, so how did it open? It was so strange...
Wen Yan stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the open book, and began to read. Three seconds later, Wen Yan's eyes went black, and he fainted...
Ming Li, who had just walked out the door, suddenly sensed something. She narrowed her eyes dangerously, grabbed the system, and returned to Wen Yan's room.
As soon as Ming Li stepped into the room, she saw a person slumped over the desk not far away. It was Wen Yan, and above his head, a faint blue orb of light was floating, flickering intermittently as if communicating with the unconscious Wen Yan...
The system was astonished by this sight.
This, this, this, this, isn't this the legendary core energy of the plane? How did it appear here? And it's become so weak?! And what is this thing doing?!
Ming Li's eyes narrowed as she looked at the blue orb. Were there still survivors?
At this moment, the flickering orb seemed to sense two vastly different energies that had entered the room. The orb froze for a moment, then suddenly stopped flickering.
After two seconds of silence, the entire room suddenly erupted in a blinding blue light.
When the light subsided, an excited female voice echoed from not far away, almost scaring the system into shutting down on the spot...
