Qin Xiao's mind raced as he spoke calmly to the invisible system assistant in the void.
"Smart Egg System".
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "smart egg," with a hint of teasing.
"Could you grant me some access?"
"Don't just throw away those systems that appeared before but I didn't select."
"How about putting it in... well, let's call it the 'Scrap System Recycling Station' for now?"
"Maybe someday I'll be able to find it again and pick it out to use again."
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Then, Yun Yiyi's somewhat uncertain, soft voice rang out.
【Eh? Host, this request… I… I’ve never heard of it before.】
【Please, please wait a moment, I... I'll go ask!】
After a brief silence, Yun Yiyi's voice suddenly rose, filled with unbelievable joy.
[Alright, alright! Host, it's all done!]
Consider this feature a super perk I'm giving to the host—it's unlocked for free!
Qin Xiao keenly caught the key information in her words, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible inquiry.
"Yun Yiyi, you just said 'I've never heard of it'?"
"Could it be that you bound yourself to other hosts before you bound yourself to me?"
Yun Yiyi's voice suddenly became flustered, revealing an obvious sense of embarrassment.
"Yes...it's been linked..."
[Originally, it was bound to two different people...]
[They...it was only the first few chapters, and I...I couldn't find a useful system...and then they were just...killed by the Dragon King of that world with a single palm strike...and another one was crippled and then jumped off a building to commit suicide...]
Towards the end, Yun Yiyi's voice became noticeably tearful, sounding pitiful, like an abandoned kitten.
[Waaaaah... Host, please don't think I'm stupid...]
If you don't want me anymore, I'll be wiped out by the Heavenly Dao!
[It's all my fault for being so useless... Waaah... I can never find a powerful system... I can't help the host at all... Waaah...]
She seemed truly heartbroken, and began to sob intermittently.
Qin Xiao sighed softly in his heart, his tone unconsciously softening considerably.
"It's alright, nothing's wrong."
"Although the systems you refreshed were indeed... well, most of the time they were pretty useless."
He paused briefly, then abruptly changed the subject, his tone carrying a strange, comforting quality.
"But you see, as long as these seemingly useless systems are cleverly combined, they can still be transformed into something magical."
With a slight thought, Qin Xiao's consciousness instantly sank into the newly opened [Abandoned System Recycling Station].
Sure enough, there were many gray and silver system icons that he used to think were a waste of time to even glance at.
His gaze swept across the screen quickly, and he swiftly selected three systems that gleamed with a silver light.
[Max Potential (Silver): Greatly unleashes the body's inner potential, enough to accomplish what ordinary people consider extraordinary achievements, but the rate of physical exertion will be more than ten times that of normal conditions.]
[Scientific Research Proficiency (Silver): Gain extremely high talent bonuses and unparalleled efficiency improvements in all scientific research-related fields.]
[Rapid Stamina Recovery (Silver): If the body remains in the same relatively isolated environment for more than one hour, the stamina recovery rate will increase to eight times the base rate (this effect lasts for 24 hours per trigger).]
Qin Xiao's voice rang out again, carrying a sense of confidence that he understood everything and was in control of the situation.
"See that? [Max Potential] provides instant bursts of power and possibilities, [Scientific Research Mastery] provides precise research directions and methodologies, and [Rapid Physical Recovery] perfectly solves the problem of endurance."
"When these three seemingly ordinary silver systems are combined, as long as conditions permit, I will be a tireless humanoid perpetual motion machine for scientific research for a short period of time."
"Therefore, don't always underestimate yourself and feel that you are worthless."
"You're great too."
Yun Yiyi's crying stopped abruptly, as if it had been paused.
Instead, there was an unbelievable surprise and irrepressible excitement.
Wow! Host, you're amazing! Really amazing!
【Yes, yes! I understand! I'm not a stupid system! I'm the best system!】
She was so happy that she seemed to be spinning endlessly in Qin Xiao's mind, radiating pure joy.
[Well... then, host, as a small reward for this clever little system...]
Can I... pick another new skin? Just one! Absolutely just one!
Qin Xiao's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he could clearly feel his luck value, which he had just accumulated after defeating Ye Chen's group of subordinates and which hadn't even warmed up yet, trembling.
Unusually, he did not directly discourage her enthusiasm.
"...If you want to buy it, then buy it."
Almost the instant his words fell.
Qin Xiao watched helplessly as the luck value panel in his sea of consciousness, which had just begun to improve, plummeted like a diving boat, instantly leaving only a fraction of its original value.
The next second, a brand new Q-version Yun Yiyi, dressed in ethereal attire with shimmering light effects on her skirt, appeared in the corner of his consciousness.
The tiny figure gracefully twirled in place, her skirt billowing, with dazzling special effects.
