Chapter 558: The Secondary School Girl and the System

"Xitong? Steel shrimp?"

Outside the small and simple bamboo house, the panda girl hid behind the door, muttering the voice she had just heard.

She naturally did not understand these two unfamiliar words at all, but she understood the meaning. It seemed that this thing wanted to bind with her...

The girl naturally did not dare to approach such a thing of unknown origin and could speak human language. She considered whether she should hand it over to the patrol team. However, the novel things in front of her were always arousing her curiosity. It seemed a pity to hand it over like this.

"Why not play with it for a few days before handing it in?" The girl was struggling in her heart.

Just as the girl was hesitating, the black box in the distance suddenly sounded again.

"Ten..."

"Nine..."

"Eight..."

...

This time it was a countdown!

The continuous countdown, like a note of death, immediately put great pressure on her.

Countdowns, even if the matter was not so urgent, would naturally create a sense of urgency, and subconsciously make the other party form the illusion of "must be achieved before the countdown".

This method has long been immune to modern people who have been bombarded with online information for years, but it is still quite effective for creatures from another world with monotonous lives.

Just like the panda girl at this moment, she was originally waiting behind the door to wait and see what would happen. After hearing the countdown, her ears immediately stood up and she instinctively became a little anxious.

Reason told her that she should wait a little longer to see the situation, but her emotions were madly instigating her. If she didn't rush over at this moment, she might lose an opportunity forever... Although she didn't know what she would miss.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

"Wait, I want it!"

When the last "one" fell, the panda girl finally couldn't hold back, rushed into the house quickly, rushed to the stone table, and looked at the black box on the table in a panic, but didn't know how to start.

"I want, want... um, what do you want..."

"Are you sure to bind this system?" Fortunately, the black box spoke again at this time.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The girl nodded hurriedly, asking: "What should I do?"

"Please replace the energy source for this system immediately!" the box said.

"Replace?"

The panda girl was stunned and looked at a magic crystal placed next to the box. She saw that the originally azure magic crystal had almost become transparent, and it was obvious that there was little energy left. The girl felt distressed and wronged: "But this is my only 'brilliant magic crystal', which was left to me by my grandmother. I just put it next to you, but I didn't expect it to be sucked dry..."

Brilliant magic crystal...

Mu You on the other side was a little stunned when he saw this unfamiliar word.

Ordinary magic cores and magic crystals cannot directly supply energy to the core, because the energy in ordinary magic crystals is mixed, and it must be transferred through a power furnace to purify the energy before it can supply energy normally. However, this crystal can be directly supplied by placing it aside... Obviously, this is not an ordinary magic crystal. It is not that it contains a huge amount of energy, but the energy in it must be extremely pure, so pure that it does not need any purification.

But at this moment, the interface of the power furnace was damaged. Even if Mu You sent a new power furnace into the game at this time, it could not be connected to the core before the gap healed. It seemed that he really had to rely on the crystal stone just now.

Mu You was thinking about how to get this crystal stone, and then a prompt popped up in the game.

[A biological energy source was detected to be close, and the energy purity met the requirements. Do you want to make a biological connection? 】

"Biological energy source?"

Mu You was stunned. There was actually such a connection method? Why didn't he trigger this prompt before?

Moreover, at this moment in the game, the surrounding creatures seemed to be only this panda man, right? The energy source refers to this girl?

Mu You quickly reacted: Yes, the energy in this world is extremely pure, so the purity of the magic crystal produced here is so high, and this girl grew up here since she was a child. The purity of the magic power in her body is probably not comparable to creatures like them who absorb the mixed magic power of the Star Spirit Realm.

From this point of view, this girl herself is a "human mobile power source"!

If you didn't say it earlier... Mu You immediately understood what to do.

"Please take the system in your hand and input magic power into it."

Listening to the voice in the cube, the panda girl carefully picked up the mechanical heart and held it in her hands: "Is... this so?"

[Energy is slowly rising, current: 0.02%...]

Seeing that the energy finally prompted to start rising, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, and finally survived temporarily.

But he couldn't relax now. At the moment, this girl became his temporary power source, and he needed to supply him with energy all the time. Most people don't have this patience, so he had to find a way to make the other party willing.

After thinking for a few seconds, Mu You continued to input.

On the other side, the panda girl held the black box devoutly in her hands, but looking at the box that had not moved for a long time, and feeling the continuous loss of energy in her body, some doubts flashed in her eyes.

"Ding, congratulations, the system is successfully bound! Reward an initial gift package."

A voice came from the mechanical heart again, which scared the panda girl.

At the same time, along with this prompt, a small cloth bag appeared next to the box and fell down.

The girl instinctively reached out to catch it, opened it and saw two bottles of red and blue potions inside: a small magic potion and a small life potion.

Mu You usually read a lot of novels, so he naturally knows the essence of the "system flow": at the beginning, you must give the host some sweet dates to make the host realize the wealth of the system, so that the host can be willing to be a cow and a horse.

At the same time, you can't give too much at the beginning, otherwise the rewards will have to be increased step by step in the future. Once the rewards can't keep up, the host will easily lose motivation.

"Ah! This is... a magic potion?"

The panda girl saw the contents of the bag and exclaimed in disbelief: "And it's purple light, better than the quality of the medicine grandma!"

Mu You's current level of magic potion master can make this kind of first-level magic potion with his eyes closed, and even the legendary level is not a problem. The reason why he didn't give the legendary level is just because he was afraid that it would be too shocking.

However, Mu You became interested in the "medicine grandma" mentioned by the other party at this time.

It is impossible for a mechanical creature to make a magic potion. This medicine grandma should be a person, that is to say, there is more than one living person in this place.

[The panda girl put away the bag as if she had found a treasure, and hurriedly looked around. After confirming that no one had found it, she quickly hid the bag in her chest, and then worked harder to deliver energy to you. ]

["Um... can I just keep inputting like this?" the panda girl asked. ]

["Yes, before you find a stable energy source, you need to carry the system with you at all times, but you don't need to hold it all the time, just carry it close to your body, and it will automatically charge." You said. ]

["Oh... is that okay?" The panda girl stuffed you into her belly, and you were immediately wrapped in a warm and thick fur. ]

Mu Youhan, there is no need to work so hard, and hurriedly explained.

["Just put it in clothes or packages and carry it with you..."]

...

In the bamboo house, the panda girl sat cross-legged at the table, looking at the box in her hand with interest, with endless curiosity flashing in her small eyes.

"System Master System Master, why can you talk..."

"Were you a human before..."

"Why are you in the box..."

"Are you from the outside world..."

"What does the outside world look like..."

...

After relaxing, the girl suddenly turned into a hundred thousand whys, throwing a series of questions at Mu You.

["The system is the system, a kind of high-level intelligent life from the outside world..."]

Mu You answered vaguely.

["Oh... Then what is the use of the system after I bind you?" The girl asked again. ]

["The purpose of the system is to train you into a superhero like Iron Man. You will gain powerful strength step by step, and use this strength to eliminate violence and protect the good, punish evil and take on the responsibility of maintaining world peace!"]

Mu You deliberately said it in a very high-sounding way.

【“Is Iron Man… a kind of knight? I’ve never heard of it… But I like being a knight! I heard from my grandmother that in the history of my tribe, many famous pandas were monks and knights who traveled all over the world!” The girl said happily, and one hand clenched into a fist and hit forward like lightning, making a sound of breaking through the air, with longing and yearning flashing in her eyes. 】

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. He was lucky. This panda seemed to be a middle school girl, and it seemed easier to fool.

If the one who picked him up was someone like Lin Xue who had a high IQ and a spirit of research, I’m afraid that a few questions would reveal his true colors.

【“What do I need to do next to become a knight?” The panda girl seemed to be longing for your description. 】

【"This system has many functions such as combat, reconnaissance, identification, protection, and transmission. In its prime, it can do everything... But because the host is damaged, it needs to be repaired before it can operate normally. The functions that can be enabled are: points system, task system, and mall system."】

【The girl seemed a little dizzy after hearing this, and asked after a while: "What is the mall system?"】

【"In the mall system, you can use points to draw various items and props. Each draw requires 10 points. Today's turntable products are: invisible cloak (first prize), poison dagger (second prize), magic potion (third prize)... a bottle of Red Sun laundry detergent, a stack of Kamen Rider cards, a puppy electric doll, and a portion of bamboo shoots fried meat."】

Mu You made a list of the things at hand, and found a few useless magic props to stuff in. The ones at the back were just to make up the numbers. The cards and electric puppy were toys of Shun's little girl, and the bamboo shoots fried meat were the takeaway that the night watchman had just brought back... Well, it's a "lottery" anyway, and he has the final say on what he draws.

【“Bamboo shoots?” The panda girl’s eyes lit up when she heard this. 】

【“There is one free lottery opportunity every day. Do you want to draw it now?”】

【“Draw it!” the girl said immediately, and licked her lips involuntarily, her eyes full of expectation. 】

【“The turntable is spinning... Congratulations, you won ‘Stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat!’”】

Looking at the other person’s appearance, Mu You was obviously more interested in food than props, so he decided to fulfill her wish with kindness.

So in the confused eyes of the night watchman, Mu You silently took the takeaway he had just opened, shuffled it, and sent it into the game.

It is not difficult to send items native to the earth into the game. You just need to let the herbalists use the space ring to transfer the items into the game first, and then take the items out through the game. The items will become ‘props’ taken out of the game, and then they can be freely stored and retrieved through the game.

[The panda girl looked at the food that suddenly appeared in front of her, her mouth wide open in surprise. After carefully picking up a piece of bamboo shoots and tasting it, her eyes lit up. She could no longer resist the temptation of delicious food and gobbled up the whole plate of food...]

["It's so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious!" The panda girl licked her lips in satisfaction, still wanting more. ]

["System, I want to eat bamboo shoots and pork!" The girl looked at you expectantly. ]

["Please continue to draw, or directly use 50 points to redeem 'bamboo shoots and pork'."]

["Points? How do I get points?"]

Finally got to the point.

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. He had laid so much groundwork just to introduce points in a logical way.

【“Points can be obtained by completing tasks or answering questions. Different questions and tasks can earn different points depending on their difficulty.”】

【“What tasks are there?”】

【“The current main tasks are: 1. Help the system find a stable and efficient energy source. 2. Destroy a mecha and dismantle its parts without alerting others.”】

【“Destroy the mecha? Those watchers? Impossible, impossible. Those watchers are invincible. Anyone who resists them will be executed immediately…” The panda girl was shocked when she heard this. She waved her hands repeatedly and said guiltily: “I’ll answer the question…”】

“Invincible?” Mu You raised an eyebrow. Can those guys who besieged it before be called ‘invincible’? It seems that the force level of this place is very low... Or rather, the robots deliberately keep the force level of the creatures here low to prevent anyone from resisting them...

["Current question: What is this place? (worth 10 points) Note: You need to answer correctly to get points and refresh the question."]

["This is the Garden of Eden!" the girl answered as a matter of course. ]

["Congratulations, the answer is correct! You get 10 points.]

["Next question: What is the Garden of Eden? (worth 20 points)"]

["The Garden of Eden... It's the Garden of Eden..." the girl scratched her head and answered.]

["Failed to answer, need to make a more detailed statement. ”】

【“Ah…” The girl was surprised for a moment, and racked her brains for words. After a moment, she said carefully: “When my grandmother was alive, I heard her say something… The Garden of Eden seemed to be a ‘sanctuary’. The watchers would selectively bring the races from the outside world that were about to disappear in the doomsday into the Garden of Eden, provide them with land and living resources, and protect them from the invasion of the doomsday in the outside world, but in return, we must obey the management of the watchers. ”】

“The disappeared race…sanctuary? "

Mu You frowned.

He knew that after every catastrophe in the Star Spirit Realm, some races would disappear forever, and these races would not be regenerated in the next era.

Could it be that these disappeared races were taken to this underground world by these robots?

This could explain why he saw the pandas here. According to the chronological order, the pandas were the last race to disappear in the Star Spirit Realm.

But in this case, doesn't it mean that in addition to the pandas, there are many other races living in this place?

[Congratulations, the answer is correct! And because the answer is perfect, you get double points of 40 points. Current points: 50 points!]

["Yeah, finally 50 points! System, I also want a serving of bamboo shoots and fried pork! "The panda girl couldn't wait to say, and her mouth began to drool again.】

Mu You guessed that she was going to order food again, so he had already placed an order on the food delivery app in advance.

While the two were talking, the food delivery guy riding a broom had arrived outside the door.

Mu You took the food and directly sent the fried meat into the game. After the other party had eaten it, he refreshed the new question.

["Next question: How many races are there in the Garden of Eden? (worth 20 points)"]
