"To be precise, this is synthetic obsidian. If it were natural, its influence range would be ten times larger than it is now," the system explained.

"Is there any way to crack it?"

"Yes, it will burst."

"Could it be that the reason this obsidian can affect ability users is because it absorbs the elements released by the ability users, rather than the fact that elements cannot be released where it is?"

"And what you said about it bursting means that each obsidian stone can only absorb a limited number of elements. If it's fully absorbed, it will naturally lose its effect," Yuan Chuyi analyzed.

"To be precise, it will explode when it absorbs enough. Otherwise, where did this small stone come from, and who would make such a small piece of obsidian?" the system explained.

"I see."

Then Yuan Chuyi listened to the discussion without saying a word.

More than an hour later, when everyone had accepted reality and parted on bad terms, Yuan Chuyi finally found an opportunity to pull You Li aside and ask, "Can I have a private talk with your Fifth Prince?"

"What, you have a way to subdue the strange rocks?"

Yuan Chuyi shook his head. "Not for now."

"What's there to talk about?" You Li said irritably.

“Although I don’t have any way to deal with the strange rocks, I can ignore their effects,” Yuan Chuyi said softly.

"Is this true?" Yu Li exclaimed in delight.

"You'll know once you try it. Why would I lie to you?"

"Alright, wait for me a moment, I'll call the Fifth Prince over right away."

A moment later, the honest-looking Fifth Prince and You Li walked over.

"Young man, is what my royal sister said true?"

Yuan Chuyi glanced at You Li in surprise and nodded.

"Then may I see what makes you different?"

"That damn homosexual, if you don't believe it, just say you don't believe it. Why do you have to see it for yourself? What a hypocritical pervert." Yuan Chuyi cursed the middle-aged man in her heart.

But he still smiled and said, "Okay, give me the strange rock."

The Fifth Prince looked at the giant that had been shattered by lightning and said, "Little brother, it's really great that you can be unaffected by the strange rocks."

"How about this, you and your sister wait for me here in the mining area for two days. I'll go back and gather the men to meet you here. Once we're back, we'll take action immediately," the Fifth Prince said sincerely.

“Shouldn’t we notify people from other countries?” Yu Li asked.

The fifth prince's expression changed as he said, "We'll have to rely on our little brother a lot for this mission. Wouldn't informing them just add to his burden?"

Although Yu Li felt that doing so was a bit inappropriate, he did indeed agree with what his elder brother had said, so he didn't argue about it too much.

Seeing that You Li was somewhat unhappy, the Fifth Prince took the initiative to walk over and hand her a large Rubik's Cube.

“Your Highness, it’s not that we’re going back on our word, but you need to learn to consider the interests of the country.”

There are enough supplies for you for the next few days. Remember to wait for me to return before you start anything else.

After saying that, the Fifth Prince patted Yuan Chuyi and quickly left the mine.

After the man left, Yuan Chuyi asked in confusion, "You are a princess of a country, and you two are siblings?"

"It's true that I'm a princess, but we can't really be considered siblings."

"Half-siblings?"

"No, that's not it. Don't pry into my private affairs." With that, he turned and left.

Yuan Chuyi shrugged. "As if nobody cares about what you're thinking."

And so, the two of them stayed in this hundred-meter-long secret room for several hours without saying a word, as if they were each lost in their own thoughts.

Yuan Chuyi, having nothing to do, checked his level.

"Level 86 already? Looks like those kids really haven't been slacking off lately. Oh right, I remember the system saying that once you reach level 100, you can enter a second life form."

What's the difference between that second life form and the current one? Unfortunately, the system refuses to reveal a single clue.

"Hey! What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering what I said that offended you."

"Don't be so stingy. I was rude earlier. Since we're free anyway, tell me which star country you're from," Yu Li said.

"I already told you, I don't know exactly what star rating the country is, but it's probably around 7 or 8 stars."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? There are no seven- or eight-star countries on the Dragon Origin Continent, unless you're from another continent."

"You mean there are countries with seven or eight stars on other continents?" Yuan Chuyi asked doubtfully.

"I don't know either, but according to records, the Dragon Continent and the Dragon Roar Continent were already larger than the Dragon Origin Continent several hundred years ago. In particular, the Dragon Roar Continent was twice the size of ours and only had a little over a hundred countries."

After saying that, You Li looked at Yuan Chu very seriously and said, "Judging from what you said, you are definitely not from the other two continents. If you are not, then why did you say that your country is a 7 or 8 star?"

Seeing that You Li looked serious, Yuan Chu felt embarrassed to continue talking nonsense.

"When did I say my country was a 7 or 8-star country?"

“I’ve asked you twice already, and you said the same thing both times,” You Li said unhappily.

"I am indeed from the 8th Star, but the 8th Star does not refer to a country, but to a sect called Dragon Gate."

"Since it's an 8-star organization, it should be all over the Dragon Origin Continent, so why haven't I heard of it?"

"Because this organization was only recently established."

"You dare to call yourselves an 8-star organization after only a short time since you were founded? Your leader is either an idiot or has something wrong with his head. And all of you members are definitely mentally unstable; how can you believe such a thing?"

As You Li grew increasingly agitated, she suddenly noticed Yuan Chuyi's face darkening. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing that Yuan Chuyi didn't react, Li Yi suddenly stood up and said, "You wouldn't happen to be the leader of that organization, would you?"

Sitting on the ground with a dark expression, Yuan Chu looked up and wanted to question You Li, "Do I look that much like an idiot?"

But just as he raised his head, the image suddenly froze, and then he uttered a sentence that You Li had hated him for many years: "Do you Sirius women also have periods?"

“What period? I don’t have a period,” You Li replied.

She then realized that she was wearing a skirt today, and the nameless man in front of her was sitting cross-legged under her skirt, looking up at her exposed skin.

Li blushed and quickly took a few steps back, covering her skirt with both hands. "You pervert!"

Yuan Chuyi said with a smug look on his face, "I saw your whole body a few days ago, and today I only glanced at your little butterfly. Is it really necessary to get so excited?"

"How can that be the same? I was doing that for work the other day!"

"It's all the same, just like a woman wearing a swimsuit strolling on the beach, nobody thinks anything of it."

"If someone were to walk down the street in a swimsuit, they'd definitely be considered indecent or mentally unstable. But isn't it all the same whether or not the exposed areas are exposed? This is absolutely a double standard," Yuan Chuyi muttered to herself.
