Sure enough, it was the red-shelled snail making that sound...

Could it be... that all those 35 evolution points we spent ended up with is this stupid snail?

After glancing at the snail opposite him, Li Qingyu decided to check the system information of Pineapple Castle first.

Pineapple Burger

Unique items

[The dwelling place of a legendary creature from an unknown dimension exudes the aura of a legendary being and possesses certain interdimensional properties.]

[Unique Skill: Goodnight. When you use Goodnight, Pineapple Castle will permanently fall to two dimensions, and all areas that come into contact with Pineapple Castle will undergo forced dimensional reduction. Once dimensional reduction begins, it cannot be stopped.]

If I could see you just one more time, I could tell you... how much I love you.

[Friendly reminder: Just pretend you didn't see that skill, because once you use it, you won't be able to escape.]

Well....

Li Qingyu had guessed that it was a unique item.

Li Qingyu had already guessed that Pineapple Castle had gained a new skill.

Since they are all unique items, they must have something special about them.

However, what Li Qingyu didn't expect was that this skill was actually... a skill used for mutual destruction?

Looking at the final friendly reminder, Li Qingyu was speechless.

Unique items... are they all this rip-off?

And... what about snails?

Is the system information really that concise? Why doesn't it explain where the snail came from?

...

Just as Li Qingyu was studying the properties of the freshly baked pineapple burger.

On the other side of Neptune, in the deepest trench of Neptune.

This is a place inaccessible to any living being; it is the true forbidden zone for life on Neptune, and also the ocean floor closest to the Earth's core.

A massive, dark volcano sits quietly, its crater emitting a ghostly green glow that exudes endless cold and mystery.

This is the highest point of the crater.

A skeleton wearing a tattered straw hat stood there silently, staring at the eerie green flames inside the volcano with its empty eye sockets.

boom!

Suddenly.

The once quiet volcano trembled.

The skeleton standing in the crater also trembled.

Despite the tremors, the straw hat on the skull remained perfectly still, as if it were glued to the skull.

Boom... Boom boom...!!

Immediately afterwards.

The volcano began to tremble incessantly, as if it were about to erupt. But it seemed to be suppressed by something, and no matter how much it trembled, the volcano could not erupt.

finally...

The continuous tremors of the volcano stopped, as if the eruption had ended.

This endless, deep place has returned to its original peace and tranquility, except for the skeleton standing silently in the crater, which looks even more hunched over, as if it is about to fall apart and break apart.

suddenly.

A massive, bluish-gray tentacle emerged from the eerie green flames within the volcano and suddenly lunged at the skull in the crater.

Bang!

A loud bang was heard, accompanied by the instant boiling and turbidity of the seawater.

The skull wearing the straw hat finally shattered completely. At the same time, the blue-gray tentacles also seemed to have suffered a severe blow, shrinking back into the eerie green flames.

All that remained was that tattered straw hat, drifting away into the distance with the ebb and flow of the sea.

boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom boom boom!!!

Not long after, the volcano, which had already quieted down, was...

As if released from its restraints, it began to shake wildly, plunging the sea back into chaos and turmoil.

A series of frantic, delirious murmurs gradually rose from inside the crater.

"Everyone except me is an idiot..."

...

Sister, could you please explain this to us again?

While looking around to see if there was anything different about Pineapple Castle besides the snail, Li Qingyu asked Crimson in his mind.

Li Qingyu suddenly remembered the original system information of Pineapple Castle, which seemed even more concise than it is now, consisting of only one sentence.

He finally understood the specific function of the Pineapple Castle thanks to Crimson's explanation.

[Crimson: Hmph... Now you know how good your older sister is, right......]

My sister is the best, hurry up and stop dawdling...

[Crimson: Hmph... Now you know that being long-winded is bad, huh...]

Okay, okay...

Li Qingyu was also helpless. He hadn't been slacking off; it was just that his stamina was limited.

What could he do? What did he do wrong?

[Crimson: Hmph~ Let me summarize it for you, sister.]

There's no need to go into details about water, electricity, and oxygen; we've covered those before. And that last skill is also unnecessary; using it will grant you instant immortality.

As for the additional abilities... because Pineapple Castle now possesses the aura of legendary creatures from an unknown dimension, it holds considerable deterrent power for some beings, while holding considerable attraction for others.

Intimidation...is it the kingly dominance of a husky?

Attraction...attracting bees and butterflies?

[Crimson: You can interpret it that way if you want, but this kind of deterrent and attraction is something that ordinary beings cannot feel. Only those who have reached a certain level of strength or have come into contact with dimensional barriers can sense it.]

Has your strength reached a certain level?

What level... is our strength enough?

[Crimson: Hehe... Little brother, you're so funny...]

At the very least... he should be at the level of your former boss.

...

Former boss?

Colonel Chu!?

Holy crap....

If that's what you're saying, then it makes us feel like we're actually living in a less safe place.

[Crimson: Don't worry... their timescale is different from yours. You might only encounter them once every few thousand or tens of thousands of years. It's unlikely to be such a coincidence.]

Okay, okay...

Does the Pineapple Castle have any other functions? Will it evolve into a self-destruct function and a function to attract bees and butterflies?

And... what the heck is that snail?

As Li Qingyu asked himself this question, he stood up and walked toward the snail in the corner of the living room.

Because he discovered that, apart from the snail, nothing else had changed inside the Pineapple Castle.

[Crimson: Of course... It possesses cross-dimensional properties, meaning the current Pineapple Burger can now be directly printed onto your body as a painting, eliminating the need to put it in a foot bath tub, making it quite portable.]

However, little brother, you'd better not put anything alive inside Pineapple Castle when it turns into a painting. It might become stupid and dull, turning into a painting or just a stool.

So, this evolution didn't result in a single useful function?

Do they all have negative effects?
