CHAPTER 501: CHAPTER 493: WE’RE JUST FATHER AND DAUGHTER

The Sakura Divine Tree probably also has the function of blocking signals. The commander managing the signal device under the Sakura Divine Tree punched until his fists were bruised, but was still unable to send out the message about the abnormal fluctuations in the S-level dungeon and the S-Class Magical Beast leaving through the dungeon crack.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The commander kicked the machine on the ground in frustration, "What’s the use of memorizing S-level fluctuation patterns for twenty years! In the end, I can’t even send out a single message!"

He held up the Light Brain with all his might, intending to use the most primitive method to capture signals in the city, "I’m begging you, big brother! Show some power! Don’t mess with me!"

Holding the Light Brain at the highest point, the commander waited anxiously, suddenly feeling as if something brightened in the pitch-black sky. He was slightly startled and quickly raised the binoculars at his waist to look in that direction.

All he saw was a small figure in Defense Armor, falling at high speed like a meteor, and the direction of the fall—was exactly his position!

The commander quickly reached out his hands, aiming at the falling figure. Fortunately, his experience was very rich; his arms slightly sank, and he accurately caught the person!

"Oh wow~ Someone caught me!"

Kicked out from a melted hole in the Sakura Divine Tree by the system, Qian Qi, upon landing, took the commander’s hands gratefully, saying, "Thank you so much! But I have something urgent now; I’ll thank you properly when I return!"

With that, Qian Qi quickly disappeared.

The commander: ?

Where did she come from? Could she have come from outside? Can we already go out?

The commander couldn’t help but look up at the sky, which was still pitch black, hard to see clearly.

Maybe, find a hovercar to go up and check?

Over there, Qian Qi circled around and found the unchallenged S-level dungeon.

In front of that S-level dungeon, stood several Awakened Warriors with worried faces. Since they couldn’t receive orders from their superiors, they didn’t know whether they should enter this dungeon. Of course, even if they went in, they’d just be heading for certain death.

But standing in front of the dungeon, they were somewhat of a hindrance to Qian Qi, as she would definitely be seen by them if she wanted to go in.

"Hmm..." Qian Qi rubbed her chin, pondering.

The system smacked its "mouth," planning to give her a rather mischievous idea so she could sneak into the dungeon without anyone noticing, but then saw Qian Qi pull a blanket from some nook, wrap it over herself quickly, and then, with a "whoosh," burst into the S-level dungeon!

The crowd had no time to react: What just ran in there?!

It didn’t look like a person, but it didn’t seem like a ghost either?

The system: ...

What a primitive method, alright!

It also flew into the dungeon.

As soon as she entered the dungeon, Qian Qi felt a wave of heat hit her; looking around, the surrounding was full of molten rocks like magma, as if she had entered the core of a volcano. The air was so hot it was almost twisting, with visible transparent lines floating around.

She rolled up the blanket on her and threw it into the magma, watching it vanish in an instant, and couldn’t help feeling grateful, "Good thing I landed on the ground and not in the magma."

[So why did you run so fast, not even wait for me.] The system floated over lazily, [The dungeon is currently choosing a new boss. Meanwhile, let’s pick up some materials for evolving the Contracted Beasts.]

The contents on the blue panel slid quickly, finally pinpointing several locations, [S-level dungeons are great, their large area, and diverse evolution materials. If you weren’t so weak, I wouldn’t have needed to take you to smaller dungeons one by one for materials, would’ve taken you directly to loot the S-level dungeon for free long ago.]

"Wait, for free?" Qian Qi sharply caught the point, "Why is finding evolution materials in an S-level dungeon free, but in a low-level dungeon, you charge money?!"

[Isn’t it because you’re weak.] The system matter-of-factly said, [If you were double-S, we would be comrades helping each other, fighting side by side.]

[And if it’s you...] The system panel glanced up and down at her, chuckling: [Then we’re just an outright drag, you’re totally relying on my support, shouldn’t you pay me?]

Qian Qi: ...

Damn! Couldn’t refute it for a moment.

Skipping over rocky landings of lava, Qian Qi began to collect evolution materials as per the system’s coordinates, while also grabbing various useful and useless items, stuffing them into the system panel, and quickly heading towards the distant lands of eerie green.

Upon stepping out of the magma zone, the system panel suddenly said: [Let me fly you across, it’ll be faster that way.]

Qian Qi paused, looking at the system unexpectedly.

[What’s wrong?] Seeing Qian Qi stopping, the system teased: [Could it be you find me too generous?]

Indeed... Why so kind all of a sudden, could it be because...

[The dungeon is quick in selecting the new boss, once you finish the boss you still have to rescue people? Better let me fly you over so as to collect more evolution materials.]

The system panel quickly displayed text: [After collecting the evolution materials for the Contracted Beasts, I’ll take you to gather materials that can increase their power, all for free too!]

Is there really such a good deal?

Qian Qi was delighted, though she thought of seeking materials to enhance strength, her mind was preoccupied with rescue too, planning to discuss it with the system after dealing with the Fire Stream Dragon.

But she didn’t expect, the system actually brought it up on its own.

Yet why so generous suddenly, quite strange, could it be...

[To celebrate your soon-to-be acquisition of an S-Class Skill, becoming an S-level Awakener!] The system panel displayed: [Of course it’s all for free!]

As expected!

Qian Qi’s face instantly lit up with color, she joyfully rushed toward the system, "Yay~ System Lord! I knew you spoil me the most~"

[Of course—uh! You!]

As the girl leaped forward, the system shook violently, the blue panel began to blur, [You, killed me—]

Qian Qi expressionlessly pulled out the A-level knife stuck in the system, causing a splash of blue blood, smearing it along the side of her jaw, making her look sinister, "Yes, I’m killing you. Your disguise was too fake, do you know how much effort it took to not burst out laughing?"

Thinking that by stealing her thoughts with spiritual power, you could mimic the system?

Ridiculous, the cheapskate system would never let her ride for free, let alone take her on free looting sprees!

Thinking of this, Qian Qi drove another knife in, gritting her teeth, "Damn it, can’t you fake it any better! At least give me a discount, then I could pretend I’m having a sweet dream! But you Illusion Beast go and give away stuff for free right off, couldn’t even immerse in it!"

Illusion Beast: ...

Observing system: ... Am I really that stingy!
