3 Pink Octopus
◎It's a cute pink little octopus, 啾啾啾◎
"Um, what is this?"
Wait, isn't that the black fog from before? No way! No way! System, what are you doing? System, say something!
Yu Li was shocked and began to complain unconsciously, but on the surface she looked down with a confused expression, looking at the pink and tender, cute little octopus in front of her. At this time, the little octopus opened its eyes as dark as the abyss and looked at her.
"Little octopus?"
She subconsciously pinched its soft body, and found that it was staring at her blankly without moving. She couldn't help but start pinching it left, right, and again! !
This feels really, really good!
At this moment, Yun Xiuzhu came over. The man knelt on one knee, his golden eyes staring at Yu Li, his tone very worried:
"I'm sorry, this was an accident, and I will take responsibility for it."
"Ah? Wait, wait, wait! I don't quite understand." Yu Li was a little confused.
"Excuse me." Yun Xiuzhu gently helped Yu Li up and took out a light blue card from his bracelet. With a flash of light, a set of white carved chairs appeared in front of him.
After the two of them sat down, Yun Xiuzhu smiled at her and explained:
"My mission this time is to investigate whether the legendary secret treasure stolen from the Ruins Star by pirates is true. If it is true, it would be best if I could bring this treasure back to the main planet of the Yunchen Federation."
As the man spoke, he handed the brewed tea to Yu Li.
"So, the black fog just now is the legendary secret treasure?"
Yu Li was a little surprised and looked down at the little octopus that had been nestled in her hand.
"That treasure might, maybe, possibly, be with me now..."
Yu Li looked at Yun Xiuzhu a little embarrassedly, then lowered her head to look at the little octopus nestled in her hand.
"Well, the black fog is the legendary SSS-level secret treasure. However, judging by the power it leaked, it could shatter the entire starship. Fortunately, Yuli, you sealed it as soon as "He" appeared."
Yun Xiuzhu chuckled and affirmed.
So is this the explosion mentioned in the original plot? And is the evil force mentioned by the system actually the black fog? Yu Li silently complained in her heart and asked curiously:
"Now that this legendary treasure has become like this, do you still want to reclaim it?"
"It seems impossible. After all, it has already escaped from its seal. The secret box that originally sealed it has lost its effectiveness. Judging from its current state, it seems that it cannot leave you."
Seeing Yu Li trying to hand the little octopus to him several times, but the little octopus just clung to Yu Li and refused to let go, Yun Xiuzhu continued:
"And with such a large energy fluctuation, I'm sure the important figures on the main planet are already aware of it. However, Yuli, using this seal seems to have had a significant impact on you. Has your ability level dropped significantly?"
"I don't really understand this. I didn't have any superpowers before, but I suddenly awakened to A-level superpowers. And my superpowers seem to be different from others'?"
Yu Li looked down at the system panel with a guilty conscience. After the seal was opened, everything seemed normal except for the disappearance of the original one-day A-level experience card. She looked up and asked, after all, she didn't know what her current situation was.
Yun Xiuzhu looked at Yu Li's bewildered expression with some surprise: "Miss Yu Li's previous school didn't teach these basic supernatural power courses?"
"That... probably, but I don't remember it very well."
Yu Li scratched her cheek awkwardly. She tried hard to recall her original memories and found that she only had memories of the male protagonist. The rest were just bits of common sense. Her common sense about superpowers was only at one level, and everything else was completely dark.
“…Is that so?”
Yun Xiuzhu thought for a while and spoke again:
"Your situation can be called a secondary awakening. It's a situation where the first awakening was unsuccessful, and you awakened again due to some circumstances. This type of awakening is relatively rare. Your ability should be considered special."
"Special department?" Yu Li continued to maintain a curious cat expression as he continued to introduce:
"Superpowers are broadly divided into three categories: summoning, nature, and special. Summoning refers to powers that summon extraordinary creatures for coordinated combat; nature refers to elemental powers like gold, wood, water, fire, and earth; and special refers to unique powers like illusion, psychic, and detection."
"Besides the F to SSS levels of superpowers, there are also quality distinctions, which are roughly divided into four qualities: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Yuli, you reached A-level on your second awakening, which means the quality of your superpowers should be above earth level."
"Is there any connection between the quality of this ability and its level?" Yu Li asked again after pinching the little octopus that had been wrapped around her hand.
"Roughly speaking, quality is equivalent to potential. Yellow-grade products can only reach D-grade at most, Xuan-grade products are C-grade to B-grade, Earth-grade products are A-grade, and Heaven-grade products are S-grade to SSS-grade."
Yu Li nodded as she listened to his introduction, thinking that her rare clothes were of earth grade, and her dazzling ones were of heaven grade, S-level and above. However, she seemed to only have two rare sets, five extraordinary sets, and the ordinary basic set she was wearing.
The girl felt very lost when she thought about how she had worked hard for several years and paid money for the clothes, and now all of them were gone.
The little octopus nestled in her palm seemed to notice that she was feeling a little down, and began to rub her fingers with its soft head and tentacles, as if to comfort her.
Yun Xiuzhu noticed this situation immediately. Looking at the pet, which had completely transformed into a lovable little pet in both body and mind, and even knew how to comfort its owner, the corners of his mouth, which was maintaining a gentle smile, stiffened for a moment.
With the comfort of the little octopus, Yu Li felt a little better. Thinking of her own dressing system, which could be considered a supernatural power, she couldn't help but say:
"So, I'm going to have to change my outfit while fighting monsters from now on???"
"Yeah... you're not wrong ^_^"
Yun Xiuzhu thought about how she had seen her supernatural powers exhausted and turned back into her current everyday clothes, and couldn't help but chuckle and replied.
"And in return for saving me and the entire starship, and for your previous promise to help me, I think you might want to learn about Yunchen University?"
"Yunchen University? It's one of the top ten famous universities in the Federation!" Yu Li remembered Yun Xiuzhu's self-introduction before. She didn't pay much attention to it because the situation was urgent.
Now that I think about it, this university, the First Military Academy, and Gran University have long been at the top of various competitions, and the original heroine seemed to want to apply to these three schools, but later it was never mentioned again because of the appearance of the hero.
"Yes, Yunchen University is located on Planet X-012. The living environment and medical facilities are much better than on the barren planet. Yuli, your ability has dropped and you need to recuperate for a while."
"Besides that, another important reason is this sealed treasure. I don't know if it will be unsealed in the future. I personally work at this university, so if any unexpected situation arises, it can be resolved in a timely manner."
The man's golden eyes looked at Yu Li gently and invited:
"Of course, Miss Yuli, as a second-awakened psychic, your combat power and talent are already above the admissions standards. You don't look very old either, so I wanted to invite you to Yunchen University. What do you think?"
"Of course there's no problem with that."
Yu Li looked at the refreshed main quest and nodded without hesitation.
Afterwards, Yun Xiuzhu gave Yu Li a brief introduction to some basic information about Yunchen University, and asked her to go to another lounge to have a good rest, after all, she had just experienced a battle.
In the lounge.

Yu Li opened the system panel and found that the main quest had been refreshed. In addition to the main quest, the side quests and daily quests had also been refreshed.

"It seems that this side quest must be completed." Yu Li murmured as she looked at the reward on the system panel, but she couldn't help but sigh when she saw the description of the quest.
Thinking that he had only been here for one day, to find the truth, he would probably have to find the school’s surveillance footage and the original body’s parents. This might require some trouble for Yun Xiuzhu.
Thinking of this, Yu Li fell on the bed, looked at the pure white ceiling with her mind empty, raised her arms, clenched them lightly, and then released them.
So, she really had traveled through time! It felt like the day had been a chaotic one. She felt a little excited but also a little confused and uneasy.
In the end, Yu Li was so sleepy that she fell asleep.
The little octopus that had been quiet beside her looked at the girl's peaceful face, and its dark eyes looked at the void that the girl had just looked at. It tilted its head, and the next moment the void instantly rotated and twisted, but nothing appeared, and there was silence.
The little octopus, not noticing anything, slowly floated up and finally leaned against her neck. Its deep and silent eyes closed, as if it had fallen asleep with the girl.
Inside the control room.
Yun Xiuzhu simply and roughly tied up the previously unconscious pirates and threw them into the warehouse where items were stored.
After dealing with these garbage, he began to think about how to report on this mission and the indescribable black fog that transformed into a cute octopus. The man closed his eyes and began to make tea to calm his mind.
Suddenly, a communication appeared on his bracelet and was automatically connected without his permission. A crazy laugh came from the communication screen.
Yun Xiuzhu's forehead twitched, but he maintained his smile and spoke calmly:
"Kong Yuxin, call me back when you've laughed enough."
"Of course not~, it's funny even when it's said to their faces. Who was it that made the solemn promise and orchestrated the Carter clan to let them know about this secret treasure, saying it contained the secret to breaking through to SSS level, and told them to rob it! To steal it!!"
The blue-haired young man on the screen said this, and he opened his arms exaggeratedly, and fell on the matte and luxurious sofa. His beautiful emerald eyes narrowed, and he continued with a smile:
"Once they've snatched it, you'll use it as a mission to retrieve the secret treasure that seals the body, and then pin the blame on the Carter clan and take care of it. But, you actually let Him out. Where is He now? He's been asleep for so long, shouldn't he be awake now?"
"He..." In response to Kong Yuxin's question, Yun Xiuzhu thought of the overly cute image of the pink little octopus, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. He didn't want to answer this question.
Kong Yuxin seemed to have noticed something from Yun Xiuzhu's ever-changing smile, and spoke with interest:
"Why, you don't want to tell me? Interesting! Let me guess, is it that He wants to devour you as soon as He wakes up?"
"That's not it. You'll find out about this later."
After all, his original form had turned into a pink little octopus, and he had become the little girl's pet. Moreover, he was as clingy as a little dog, sticking to people everywhere. He couldn't put it into words, so he let Kong Yuxin discover it himself.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiuzhu hung up the call directly, and set up a few more layers of protection on the communicator, and once again put Kong Yuxin on the blacklist. Although he knew it was useless, it was enough to give him enough peace and quiet.
