The static grew louder and louder, finally turning into a hazy, indistinct voice, as if separated by a layer of worlds or by towering mountains: "Host!"
It's the system's voice!
Has he come back?!
Ye Nianzhen ignored everything else and stood there dumbfounded. The surrounding crowds and noise could no longer reach her ears. She was only focused on searching for that familiar voice in her mind.
But after a long while, the voice did not sound again. Just as Ye Nianzhen was about to give up in disappointment, the voice rang out again just in time: "Host! Can you hear me?"
Ye Nianzhen quickly responded in her mind: "System, you're finally back! I've been looking for you!"
The system's voice was still faint, but it did respond: "Host! Ahhh, you can finally hear me! Heaven knows how many days I've been calling for you! If I had a physical body, my voice would be hoarse by now! Who understands the feeling of no one being able to hear me? I'm almost developing a mental illness! I've even split into several personalities! Okay, I don't have a physical body, so I won't get a mental illness... But host! I've missed you so much! Do you even know that..."
Blah blah blah...
Sure enough, it was the same familiar system. Once it started talking, it couldn't stop, and its words were all very fragmented and silly. Ye Nianzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt more joy in her heart. She finally felt that she was no longer alone in this world where she didn't know where the illusion was and where the reality was.
very nice.

While Ye Nianzhen was deeply moved by the return of the system, Mu Guang, trapped in the mysterious valley, was picking flowers, picking flowers, picking flowers... with utter despair!
His expression was listless, his face pale, and his fingertips trembled. Finally, he couldn't help but let out a long, drawn-out howl for the umpteenth time: "When will this ever end?!"
Heaven knows how long he's been picking flowers like this?
Does anyone know what a sea of flowers means?
Does anyone know what a sea of flowers means?
Does anyone know exactly how many flowers are in a sea of flowers, from the highest heavens to the deepest hells?
How many flowers?!
Moreover, if they were just ordinary flowers, to be honest, he could either work harder and pick them for a while without sleep, and eventually finish. As a young and strong beastman, he shouldn't lack that much stamina.
but!
This is a patch of flowers whose purpose is unknown, possessing mysterious powers; picking them will cause illusions or dreams to occur!
He used all his strength and perseverance, even exerting every ounce of his energy, but he could only pick ten flowers at a time!
Moreover, he believed that this was already the limit for carbon-based life forms. Even if someone like Qin Qiu, who was physically incompetent, or Luo Shui, who was optimistically incompetent, came, they probably wouldn't be able to reach his level!
Then, when he uses his last bit of strength to pluck ten flowers, his consciousness will arrive in a strange place. Here, he is not a beastman, but a human, and the person in charge of the base. Everyone bows down to him, kneeling fearfully at his feet, afraid that he might kill them with some kind of light-based ability if he is displeased!
Okay, he admits, it was pretty cool.
He was really no good person; he was considered a bad seed among the orcs. He had indeed fantasized about doing some earth-shattering evil deeds, to the point that those ignorant and weak creatures would tremble at the mere mention of his name...
But actually, that's pretty boring.
Moreover, he wasn't that strong, otherwise he wouldn't have been suppressed by some beast race saintess and had to do this and that every day. Otherwise, that woman would have had her supporters deal with him.
Ugh, just thinking about it makes me angry!
Moreover, for some reason, whenever he had a bad thought, a strange fear from the bottom of his heart would stop him and make him give up that thought.
Then there will be a physiological urge to vomit, especially if Ye Nianzhen looks at him with a knowing, fake smile.
He seriously suspected that this woman wasn't some beastman saintess, but a human witch! She'd cast some kind of spell on him! It was so annoying!
So when he saw those hallucinations, on one hand, he felt pretty good, but on the other hand, he had to endure both mental and physical torment. It was really awful! What a load of fun!
But he couldn't not pick those flowers, and he had to pick them all, otherwise he would be trapped here and never be able to get out!
Heavens above!
He regretted it. He should have tried to be a good person; then he wouldn't have to suffer like this. When will this end?!
Then, as he saw more and more of his hallucinations, he pieced together a complete story.
There is such a human base, and the ruling class inside is very bad. They treat the people below them very badly, especially the person in the main perspective. They kill a few people for fun at the drop of a hat. They are wicked beyond measure.
But one day, he suddenly felt bored with everything and wanted to try a different life. So he said to a bespectacled man who looked like a bad guy, only his face was decent, "Su Mo, don't you have an experiment about creating illusions? Can I go and play in it?"
The bespectacled man frowned, but after thinking for a moment, he surprisingly nodded in agreement: "Sure, but do me a favor. Remember Sprout Base? The one that's always going against us. Go and capture a few people, and have their boss exchange himself for them. If you manage to capture that woman, I'll let you go play in the illusion."
The person in the first-person perspective nodded and happily walked out, but after thinking for a moment, he turned back and asked sarcastically, "Su Mo, are you playing me? Is that woman Mengya stupid? She would agree to such a losing deal?"
The bespectacled man smiled, his expression cryptic, and said, "Go ahead and try. It's not that hard. What, are you afraid?"
He scoffed, "Bullshit."
Then he turned into a beam of light and flew swiftly through the sky. He could teleport to any place with light. Before long, he arrived at a small base and easily captured a few people.
He deliberately grabbed a few strong individuals to increase his side's leverage, so that when the leader of the Sprouts organization weighed whether it was worthwhile or not, he wouldn't be able to fulfill the conditions proposed by Su Mo, which would be too embarrassing!
Then he left a message, asking the leader of the sprouting buds to exchange himself for him, and he waited on the hillside not far away.
The waiting process was boring, so he wondered if he should kill someone for fun. Then the leader of the budding group arrived and agreed to his conditions without saying a word.
