[Hey, Host, wake up!]
A delicate and tender voice of a little girl woke Qi Han from his sleep.
Rubbing his eyes sleepily, he turned his head to look around.
Who's calling me?
[Besides this system, who else would call you Host?]
"The system?" Qi Han quickly woke up, his face showing a hint of disbelief, "You've upgraded? How come your voice has changed like this?"
Yes, the system's voice had undergone a complete transformation. It was no longer the mechanical voice from before; now it was a soft and tender female voice, indistinguishable from a real person's voice.
[The life force in the Life Gold was more abundant than this system imagined, so this system gave itself a little comprehensive upgrade.]
"Meow!" Pururu in his arms sensed the movement and woke up, subconsciously letting out a meow.
[Forget about that. After I finished upgrading, there is still some life force left in the Life Gold. Hurry up and start cultivating, don't forget to hold Pururu, =I'll use the remaining life force on you.]
Qi Han's face lit up at this.
He quickly followed the system's instructions, sat cross-legged, and held Pururu in his arms. Once he was ready, a majestic surge of life energy suddenly descended from above, pouring down onto Qi Han and Pururu.
Qi Han suddenly felt like he was sitting at the bottom of a waterfall, being drenched by the waterfall. However, instead of discomfort, the life energy brought him an incomparable sense of comfort, as if every cell in his body was dancing with joy, undergoing a complete transformation.
"Meow!" A large amount of life energy also poured into Pururu's body, causing it to cheerfully meow and its body to emit crackling sounds of bones.
It seemed the system had made alterations to the surrounding environment. The life energy that Qi Han and Pururu couldn't absorb completely didn't dissipate but instead lingered around, slowly continuing to be absorbed by them.
After a time equivalent to half an incense stick burning, the waterfall of life energy slowly came to a stop.
Is it over?
Just as Qi Han thought about this, the next moment, the system's voice abruptly sounded in his mind.
[The next one's going to be a bit painful~]
A green crystal slowly emerged from the void, exactly the Life Gold Qi Han obtained 2 nights ago.
However, the Life Gold at this moment was much smaller compared to before. Previously, it was the size of a palm, but now it was only slightly larger than a pigeon egg.
With a slightly pointed tip, it slowly moved towards Qi Han's brow, causing his face to show a strange expression.
Is it going to stab his forehead?
The sharp Life Gold soon pierced Qi Han's brow, leaving a trace of blood that was quickly absorbed by the crystal. Its surface emitted a dazzling green light and swiftly entered Qi Han's brow.
Qi Han felt his vision being filled with green, and then he lost consciousness.
"Meow~" Pururu let out a low cry and curled up slowly, falling back into sleep.
Having absorbed a large amount of pure life force, Pururu urgently needed to digest the life energy it absorbed.
[Host, it's better for you and Pururu both to go to the system space, or you probably won't wake up before noon business hours.]
The soft voice echoed in the void, and Qi Han's figure disappeared from the room.
The scattered life energy around them condensed again and was all injected into Pururu's body.
These energies were locked in Pururu's body and couldn't be absorbed for the time being, but as it slept and digested, they would gradually be absorbed.
After doing all this, the system's voice softly sounded, [That man should have noticed the system upgrade's fluctuations…]
...
In a lush valley, towering trees rose from the ground, blocking the sunlight. Looking up through the gaps in the leaves, one could faintly see floating clouds. However, these clouds were not the usual white; they were colorful.
In the valley, a winding path paved with small stones led directly into the interior of the valley, passing through a pavilion.
In the pavilion, a handsome young man with disheveled Golden hair was holding a chess piece in his hand, contemplating how to make his next move. Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"What can make you lose focus while playing chess?"
The one who spoke was a spirited old man with white hair sitting across from the young man.
Seeing the old man's inquiry, the young man smiled, "Nothing much, just thinking about my past creations. I didn't expect them to undergo changes beyond my expectations."
"Oh? Tell me more?" The white-haired old man's eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he asked.
"When I traveled through various worlds, I found an interesting world where mortals without any Spirit Power are able to craft things far beyond their class. Although they are just mere mortals, they created countless vivid and interesting stories through their imagination. The thing that impressed me the most was something called a 'system'—"
As the young man spoke, he suddenly changed the subject with a pained expression, "Teacher, you're about to lose this game. Stop trying to move my chess piece."
"Cough." With a light cough, the white-haired old man sheepishly withdrew his hand from the chess piece, "You little brat, don't you know how to let me win as an old man?"
"Then... I'll cook lunch?" The young man smiled.
"Deal!" The white-haired old man threw the chess piece in his hand, admitting defeat, and walked out of the pavilion. "Wash your hands, lunch is coming!"
...
After an unknown period of time, Qi Han regained consciousness, slowly sitting up and looking around.
The colorful darkness told him that he was in the system space.
"How long did I sleep?"
Qi Han shook his head. His last memory was being stabbed in the forehead by the Life Gold, then seeing a green light, and then losing consciousness.
"5 days have passed since you fell asleep," the soft voice reappeared, causing Qi Han to slightly pause.
The system's voice no longer seemed to come from all directions but could be clearly felt in a particular direction.
Turning his head, Qi Han's expression brightened instantly.
"What are you looking at? First time you see a beauty?" The little girl in front of him pouted, feeling a bit uneasy as she looked around.
"You... can take on a human form now?" Looking at the adorable little girl in front of him, about 4 or 5 years old, wearing a cute dress with her slightly curled light blue hair, Qi Han found it hard to associate her with the system.
"It's not exactly that," the system shook its head, "I can't leave the system space, but with the help of the Life Gold, I can condense a body within the system space."
Understanding dawned on Qi Han. "Are you a lolicon by any chance?"
System: "???"
"You–You–You– the first thing you think of when you see the invincible, cute, and beautiful me is this?"
"Just kidding." Qi Han grinned and pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks.
Her cheeks were so soft and squishy that Qi Han was reluctant to let go.
"Now that you have a body, how about I give you a name?"
The system brushed away Qi Han's hand, its face turning a bit rosy. "What name do you want to give me?"
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and glared fiercely at Qi Han. "Let's be clear, if you give me a name like you did with the shop name, I— I'll kill you!"
"That won't happen." Qi Han chuckled, then fell into thought.
Since coming to this world over two months ago, every moment spent with the system flooded his mind.
Without the system, he would have been just an unlucky guy killed by a flowerpot. But now, he had a new life in the miraculous Douluo Continent, made new friends, and lived each day happily and fulfilled.
Thinking of this, a warmth flashed in Qi Han's eyes. He gently stroked the system's light blue hair and spoke softly.
"From now on, you'll be called Ru Yi."
