Can you become stronger without paying money?

(Hehe, haven’t you already guessed it? The first time you recharged, you used Ruanmei Coin, and the second time you recharged, you used gold. What is the exchange rate given by the system?)

(The value of gold is obviously much higher than that of soft sister coins, but the exchange rate given by the system has lowered the price of gold, so that's the case... If I get more gold...)

Riel is now completely convinced of his conjecture...

(...Then the system will further adjust the exchange rate, so that the exchange ratio will be adjusted even lower. In short, it will not allow me to have the opportunity to strengthen myself at one time... right?)

Then Riel came up with a new guess...

(That is to say, in fact...the system doesn't need any gold at all. If it is willing, even if I don't pay a penny, it can immediately let me get those krypton gold props. According to my guess, in fact, the so-called krypton gold It's just an "exchange". I made a corresponding effort to advance the plot to obtain gold, and then exchange rewards from the system in the form of "gold", so gold itself is just a unit of measurement. If I want, I can also use other Any kind of thing that can represent my hard work can replace gold. For example, if the system has an "achievement value" system, I can use the achievement value to exchange items. If the system is a big white egg, I can exchange reward points and side plots. Props, in fact, gold is not important, what matters is how much effort I put in to get the gold, the more effort I put in, the more valuable the gold, the more system gold coins I can exchange, if I put in less effort up...)

(...then even if I get a lot of gold, the system will not accept it...right?!)

Chapter 150 IX The New Moon in the Firmament ([-])

"Well, although the fundamental direction of thinking is crooked, but it is inexplicably in line with the truth, hehe, is it a talent to hit the right way?"

The system girl smiled in Riel's mind. Riel was naturally confused. What does it mean to have a fundamentally wrong direction of thinking? Does it mean that Riel's speculation actually missed the point at the beginning? ?But what does it mean to be in harmony with the truth?

Although I guessed wrong at the starting point, but guessed right later?The so-called crooked attack?

"So, what is the truth?"

"So far, I have guessed correctly about the gold exchange item. To be precise, the system just presents itself in a... form that you are most familiar with~"

Therefore, Riel was a professional player in krypton gold games when he traveled through time, so the system appeared in the form of a krypton gold mall. It will turn into a big white egg named "Lord God". If Ruier is a lover of love games, then the system may change to let Ruier attack various female characters, and then collect favorability by attacking girls. Favorability can be exchanged for various props...

...In the final analysis, the system does not need "gold", what it needs is Riel's "self-effort to advance the plot", so as to give Riel a reward for advancing the plot, and Riel's efforts to advance the plot are quantified, in order It is measured in the form of gold, which is like a "currency system". You exchange labor for currency, and then use currency to buy things from the system.

...that's the relationship.

"So, is there any benefit to the system for me to advance the plot? Will the system be willing to use these powerful flying props in exchange for me to advance the plot? And if the system really expects me to advance the plot, why should it restrict me? Why don't you just give me all these props? I promise to push the BOSS all the way to you right away..."

"Hehe, this is what I mean by 'the direction of thinking is fundamentally wrong'. Your progress in the plot is not beneficial to the system. The person who expected you to advance the plot in the first place is not the system, but me, my dear. You really can't turn your head~"

"What?" Riel was stunned by the sudden burst of information, "The person who expects me to advance the plot is not the system but you? Then... what is the system? And, why can you tell me so much today? ?”

"Didn't I say it before? My dear, your memory is too bad~ Because of your efforts, I have already regained part of the authority in the system, and now the system's binding force on me has dropped a bit, and some words are also You can ignore the constraints of the system and tell you, it's that simple~"

The girl from the system paused, and continued to pick up the topic without paying attention...

"As for the existence of the system, it is more like a kind of 'balance'. Originally, with my authority, I can give you more help, but the system restricts my authority and gives you a certain amount in the way you are most familiar with." This kind of restriction is too much, isn't it?"

Speaking of this, the girl from the system was filled with righteous indignation, "So, the system is a hindrance to us, please continue to cooperate with me, my dear, as long as we defeat this damn permission dog, krypton gold props and other things, you I'll give you as much as you want, and it doesn't matter if the entire system mall is given to you for free~"

Speaking from the mouth of the system girl, it is definitely a powerful temptation that Riel can't refuse now. Riel almost nodded and asked how to help, but he swallowed the words again. .

"Okay, I've learned enough things today, let me calm down now, I'd better go through the plot in front of me first..."

"Haha, that's fine, anyway, we have a lot of time, you can think about it slowly, then, see you~" The voice of the system girl disappeared from Riel's mind...

Riel regained consciousness in a flash, and saw Sapphire staring at his face with a strange expression.

"...Uh, there is nothing dirty on my face, right? Your Highness Princess, your eyes are not very good."

"It's nothing, I just thought the expression on your face changed back and forth just now was very strange, what were you thinking about?"

I do have something on my mind...but I can't say it, Riel suddenly felt a strange feeling when he saw Sapphire. Logically speaking, the world in front of him was created by writing the plot by himself, but the existence of the system and the AI ​​girl The rhetoric made Riel have an absurd illusion.

Is this world really just a world created by Riel's dream?Is everything really that simple?

(If everything is just a dream of mine, Sapphire and the others are nothing more than puppets endowed with personality by me, and all their actions are just words written in my script in advance, but if If not, then...)

Riel couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, why did he suddenly start thinking about these inexplicable questions, it really is that there are too many things that make his head muddy, the most urgent thing now is to solve the plot in front of him, other things, I will talk about it later...

So, the sky was dark and the moonlight was hazy. After more than ten hours of waiting, Riel looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, this time is just right, Bai Bai, and it's time for you to come out..."

In vain, the loli jumped up to Riel, "What are you going to do?"

Riel stretched out his hands to gently rub his white hair, and then greeted Nana and Nana, "You two are also sub-humans, you can come and help, anyway, don't think about anything next, listen to my orders later !"

After finishing speaking, Riel signaled that the three of them came to an empty place in the Luna Garden under the moonlight, and were about to make a move when a certain big cat came over.

"Master, why don't you let Meow come with you?"

Riel, dumbfounded, reached out and pressed the big cat's head, "Don't make trouble, your breed is wrong!"

Although it is declared that Elu is a demihuman... other demihumans also think so, but in fact the big cat Elu is a follower cat Ail, and has nothing to do with the demihumans in this world. Let her go Isn't it adding to the chaos?

"Meow..." The big cat agreed feebly, and obediently shrank to Riel's feet and fiddled with its tail. After finishing the big cat, Riel smiled apologetically at the three people waiting there.

"Sorry for the long wait, then, the BGM designation—"

Riel waved his hand, and the BGM player flashed past his chest, and immediately, the preset BGM was selected...

"—Senben Sakura (young girl version)!"

As soon as the rhythmic prelude sounded, Sapphire's face changed color, and she hurriedly covered Fei's ears with her hands, who seemed to have not figured out what happened, and then couldn't help complaining, "...you will put poison next time. Could you give me some hints before?"

Riel waved his hands frantically, "Haha, small mistake, small mistake, the three over there, especially Bai Bai, don't be tempted to resist the BGM, jump up with the BGM, it's up to the three of you to open the door~"

The BGM effect produced by the BGM generator can be resisted. If the opponent is willing to resist and is unwilling to accept the influence of BGM, then Bai Bai, who is at the limit of strength, can completely control himself. When Ruier said that, the ghost twins naturally said what to listen to What, although Bai Bai didn't know the meaning of doing this, he still followed suit.

So, under the bright moonlight, the two sisters shook a little fox, and the three cute girls' Qianbenzakura began like this. Although the scene was indeed very beautiful, Sapphire's eyes twitched.

"...Are you sure you can open the door like this?"

Riel nodded affirmatively, "Okay, uh, although it's fine to dance directly..."

Yes, in theory, if you want to open the door, you only need to arrange multiple female subhumans of the right age to dance the designated dance at the designated time, but Riel firmly believes that a dance without BGM is soulless!

If it weren't for the bad atmosphere, Riel originally wanted to put the taboo border...

In the end, after much deliberation, I still felt that it was wrong, so I replaced it with the ancient and poisonous Qianben Sakura...

Accompanied by the dance of the three girls, streaks of silver moonlight fell from the sky, like a dreamlike scene. The moon is a very sacred totem among demihumans, and many demihumans will gain a certain level of power when the full moon is full. Power bonuses, such as werewolf transformation and the like.

At this moment, the dance of the three demi-human girls caused the moonlight to change. According to the legend of the demi-human race, this is a very sacred ceremony. In vain, I didn't expect such a big reaction when I really danced, but it seems to be really effective. , she danced even harder, watching the little fox jumping and stepping on the dance steps, and the fluffy tail behind him bouncing up and down, Riel couldn't help but want to put his hands together...

...Sajia is worth it in this life!

Thousands of silver threads hung down from the moonlight, dancing and spinning around the three girls in the empty square, and finally overlapped layer by layer, interweaving into a doorway of flowing silver light.

The door has been opened, but Baibai still couldn't stop jumping excitedly, the same is true for Nana and Nana, these three danced the whole song Qianbenzakura back and forth three times, and then stopped full of excitement.

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Bai Bai shook his ears, his eyes burst out with incredible brilliance, "I didn't expect there to be such a sacred dance in this world. I've decided. When I go back, I will treat this as an annual performance and promote it to everyone in the world." All Kakameya go!"

"……what?!"

Riel didn't expect that casual play would have such a big effect, but he wanted to stop it at first, but then he thought about it, and every year in the future, he would have the opportunity to see a group of cute girls with animal ears dancing Qianbenzakura...

...Fuck, what's there to say no to, you'll be punished by God, okay?

So, Riel immediately said seriously, "Well, listen to me for nothing, this dance, not everyone can dance, first of all, it must be a woman... Then, it must be young, and of course, it must also be beautiful in appearance. Excellent..."

Listening to Riel's serious flicker, the little fox nodded seriously, as if...

...I really believe it all! ! !

Chapter 160 The Revived True Moon ([-])

"I didn't expect there to be such a method..."

The silver door formed by the aggregation of moonlight is quietly suspended here. In terms of stability, it is definitely not comparable to the space cracks that were forcibly opened before. The door of the ruins, instead of using a force strong enough to tear the space, forced a hole between the two as in the previous few times.

"...Thinking about it this way, I feel that we were no different from robbers and bandits before."

Safili couldn't help complaining, but Riel could see it openly, "Hey, why are adventurers so particular about this? When we were treasure hunters running around on the mainland, we didn't give face to some ancient ruins. There is no shortage of business breaking and breaking in, and adventurers have to look like adventurers, let's go in and find the treasure~"

After thinking about it, Sapphire seemed to have the same reason. When adventurers went to the ruins, several of them walked through the main entrance, so they were relieved. Immediately, several people lined up in line, and then stepped back and forth into the road to see. A very stable space door.

When everyone stepped in, the world was spinning for a while. After this top-heavy feeling of weightlessness, the surrounding light dimmed and then brightened. After the weird weightlessness passed, Sapphire immediately looked around.

Above the head, there is a vast and bright moon emitting cold moonlight, and what is under your feet is still the Luna Garden... If there is any difference from before entering the door, it is nothing more than the previous Luna Garden surrounded by majestic mountains. The Luna Garden is a sky garden built among the mountains, and now...

... There is nothing in all directions, and there is a gorgeous galaxy composed of dots of starlight. The Luna Garden seems to be suspended in the middle of the galaxy.

Sapphire can be sure that she has traveled through the space and came to the fictional space inside the Luna Garden, but she did not expect that the interior of this fictional space is actually a building that is exactly the same as the outside Luna Garden.

If the surrounding environment hadn't changed, Sapphire wouldn't be able to determine where she was now.

Wait...what's wrong?

Sapphire looked around, Fei was hugging Alice, shaking her ears in vain, these three were not far away, but...Riel, his family's pet group and sister flower maid separated again !

"Bai Bai, Fei... Where are the others?"

Although the question was used, Safili already understood what was going on. To put it bluntly, it was a routine that had been played countless times before. Riel seemed to be separated from here again when he entered the door, but anyway, it seemed that Riel I am very familiar with this organization, and I should come over and meet with everyone later.

"Big Sister..." Fei ran over with Alice in her arms, followed by Bai Bai, who were also looking around, "This is the secret space in the Luna Garden? Why does it feel the same as the outside?"

Sapphire spread her hands helplessly, "Don't ask me, I also want to know this question. The design taste of the ancient elves was really too fascinating. Well, Baibai, what are you looking at?"

Safili found that Baibai seemed to be attracted by something, and when Safili asked, Baibai pointed to a certain place, "There...is the place where the Luna Shuttle was originally placed..."

Sapphire immediately came to her senses. Since the layout of the Luna Garden here is exactly the same as the one outside, there must be some kind of law that can be explored, just like the most important treasure in the Luna Garden outside. The location corresponds to the inside of Luna Garden, so there must be something there.

Seeing Riel seems to be unable to find him for a while, Safili decided to go and have a look first. After all, it is not too far away, and the area of ​​the Luna Garden is not big. At worst, go and have a look first, and then go It's too late to find someone.

After making up his mind, a few people gathered here to form a team, and a small nest moved towards that position...

It wasn't that far away, so I ran to the place in a short time. Of course, it was expected that something was placed here, but unlike the outside, what was placed here was not another Luna Shuttle, but...

...a ball!

That's right, when everyone saw that thing, the first concept was a ball!

One seems to be made of metal, with an uneven surface, but overall it looks like a weird ball in shape.

The ball is completely sealed as a whole, but there seems to be a "hatch" on it that can be opened. There are no operation panels or buttons on the surface of the ball that can be pressed. God knows what this thing is for.

One of the biggest points of exploring the ruins is that if you find something beyond what your knowledge can explain, then you'd better deal with it carefully, because many seniors have too much "hands-on" and "curiosity" and the results are not good. Be careful to activate any incredible mechanism, and then play yourself to death.

Several girls stared at the ball with strange faces, not sure what to do with this thing for a moment. Just when they were having a headache, the uneven texture on the surface of the ball suddenly lit up!

This change naturally surprised everyone, especially Sapphire. Recently, she has encountered too many troubles in the elven ruins. She pulled out her sword without thinking about it. The situation is unclear, and it is inconvenient to actively reveal hostility. If the thing had no intention of attacking, but a conflict arises because of the hostility shown here, then the loss outweighs the gain.

No matter how vigilant Sapphire was, the surface of the spheres lit up one by one, and the uneven texture concentrated all the way to the sealed hatch. Immediately, two things like locks were unscrewed on both sides of the hatch, and a spray of water was sprayed out of it. There was a dense white mist, and at the same time, the hatch was slowly opened under the watchful eyes of everyone.

When the hatch opened, everyone who saw the things inside the hatch was stunned...

...Because there is a girl lying inside the sphere.

A young girl who looked to be just sixteen or seventeen years old and slept very peacefully.

However, the girl's attire is very similar to that of any country on the mainland. She is wearing a white tights with no seams, and is decorated with some strange metal pieces for no reason. , with silver-white metal bracelets and anklets adorning the wrists and ankles, and a metallic black collar around the neck.

This picture is very strangely dressed, but Sapphire and Bai Bai, who have read some documents, are showing expressions of seeing a ghost at the same time.

"kindness……"

The girl who seemed to be sleeping suddenly frowned slightly, and then, the girl stretched her waist as if no one else was around.

"Haha... Is there a guest here?"

As soon as the girl opened her mouth, Sapphire and the others were stunned, because what the girl said was a language that everyone had never heard before, but the strange thing was...

...Although they have never heard of it, everyone can clearly understand the meaning of this unknown language.

The girl seemed to have come to her senses, she quickly jumped out of the spherical thing, and quickly glanced at everyone.

"Well... why are they all human beings? Oh, there are also demihumans..." The girl's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one. When she saw Sapphire, she looked normal. Alice didn't show any unnecessary expression changes, only when she saw Bai Bai, she raised her eyelids a little.

"Eh...you..." The girl walked up to Bai Bai in a few steps. At this moment, everyone seemed to feel that the girl was not aggressive, but they didn't understand who she was at all. She had already walked in front of Bai Bai, and then, she bent down and stared carefully at Bai Bai's eyes for a few seconds, only to see that Bai Bai was about to explode.

"Any questions?"

The girl immediately replied, "Oh, nothing, I'm just curious that someone will actually learn the secret method of 'dividing the gods and spirits', which can make people schizophrenic, and they actually managed to do it~"

Bai Bai immediately became nervous at what she said, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the girl.

"Okay, anyway, I'm just curious, so let's stop talking nonsense, my name is Zhenyue, although I don't know why you guys and demihumans came here, but since I'm here, I'm a guest. Before, tell me your permission code, and I will log in as a visitor for you~"

When she said this, Sapphire and the others looked at each other, unable to understand what the girl said.

The girl who waited for dozens of seconds but didn't get an answer was obviously a little impatient, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "Hey, I just woke up and I'm not in a very good mood, so please tell me quickly Really, no one has been here for so long, why is the newcomer so ignorant..."

"That, that..." In the end, it was Sapphire who bravely stepped forward and said...

"...I don't know, what is the permission code you are talking about"

As soon as these words were uttered, Zhenyue, who was still yawning in boredom, stopped her movements. She turned her head and stared at Sapphire and the others seriously.
