A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the ends of my hair.
Yu Xiangnan looked around and found himself standing in a valley.
The valley was extremely open, and as far as the eye could see, there were strange sights—wildflowers of bizarre shapes swayed wildly. The petals of these wildflowers had strange colors that were a mixture of pale purple at dawn and deep blue at the sea, with irregularly serrated edges, and they trembled slightly in the wind.
The surrounding area is filled with jagged rocks, some resembling crouching ancient beasts, others like sharp swords piercing the sky, exuding a cold and mysterious aura in this tranquil valley.
This is......
Is this the Million Valley of Planet Mudi?!
Yu Xiangnan's pupils contracted. Before he could see clearly, a cold, emotionless mechanical voice suddenly rang in his ears, catching him completely off guard.
[Prompt]: The original owner of the reward dungeon, Luo Pin (ID: D00), has unbound the special item "Dream Locking Crystal Ball" that serves as proof of the reward dungeon's owner identity. Do you wish to bind this item? If you refuse to bind, you will be forcibly teleported out of the hidden dungeon in three seconds.
"!!!"
Yu Xiangnan hurriedly pressed the "Yes" button.
She stared at the crystal ball, completely bewildered. Just then, the [Dream-Locking Crystal Ball] in her hand began to tremble violently without warning, and the next second, it burst forth with an extremely intense, almost blinding light!
The light was so dazzling that she instinctively closed her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp sound rang out, and the crystal ball shattered, scattering fine shards of glass everywhere! The nameless wildflower from the Million Valley, which had been carefully sealed inside the crystal ball, could not escape this sudden change either, and fragilely crumbled into powder the moment the light dissipated.
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying the powder away as if it had never existed in this world.
A brand new control panel appeared before my eyes.

Before Yu Xiangnan could examine the panel closely, a brand-new transparent crystal ball floated in front of him under the dim light, shimmering with dazzling light.
Compared to the crystal ball Luo Pin gave her, it lacked the nameless wildflower from the Million Valley that was sealed inside.
"......"
In the settings panel, the items marked with an asterisk in the first and second sections seem to be required. If she doesn't fill them in, she can neither exit the panel nor perform any further operations.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the wildflowers at her feet swaying gently in the breeze.
These flowers are almost identical to the one that was sealed in the crystal ball before.
Are they exclusive identification props?
Yu Xiangnan lowered her eyes, her gaze somewhat vacant. After a moment, she squatted down, gently pinched the stem of a wildflower with her fingertips, and slowly plucked it.
"This is it..."
Since this originally belonged to Luo Pin as a crystal ball and a reward instance, the name of this exclusive identification item and the reward instance must have their own significance.
She admitted that holding the prop in her hands always felt strange. It clearly belonged to someone else, not to her.
Yu Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief after successfully changing the name of the reward dungeon and the exclusive item back to their original state.
But... is the "real basement" that Luo Pin was referring to the reward instance?
She never imagined that the map in Luo Pin's exclusive reward instance would be almost identical to that of Mudi Star. The familiar terrain, except for the "Floating Island," was almost entirely represented in this instance.
But... wasn't the Barnier family destroyed and vanished long ago? Did Luo Pin go to great lengths to recreate an exact replica?
Yu Xiangnan tried to find a teleportation function to directly teleport himself to the non-public area of the Banir family, but found that he could not teleport directly.
I was new to these features and found them very unfamiliar, so I didn't know where to start.
She had no choice but to circle around the area, and then wandered along the winding dirt road. The surrounding fog was like a thick curtain, seemingly intent on trapping her within it.
At that moment, she sensed a small, thin boy slowly emerging from the mist.
The child wore an exquisite brocade robe, the unique family crest embroidered at the collar faintly visible in the dim light, and a line of text was displayed above his head:
【NPC1 "Little A"】
When Yu Xiangnan saw the boy's face clearly, his pupils suddenly dilated.
This boy was the same boy she found in the photo behind the iron door in Luo Pin's basement. He looked almost exactly the same, even his hairstyle and clothes were identical!
"New master, please follow me. I will lead you to the Barnier family's control room for the handover ceremony of the new master of the copy." The child spoke in a clear voice, his tender voice drifting in the mist.
The Barnier family's central control room? A handover ceremony?
After a very brief moment of thought, she nodded slightly and hurriedly followed, walking alongside Little A.
As the fog gradually thinned, a magnificent castle suddenly appeared before our eyes.
The castle is built entirely of ancient gray megaliths, with towering spires reaching into the sky. The flags on the top of the spires flutter in the breeze, and the coat of arms of the Barnier family are particularly eye-catching.
Upon closer inspection, Yu Xiangnan discovered that the castle was surrounded by a wide moat, with an exquisitely carved stone bridge spanning the river, its railings adorned with lifelike mythical beasts.
Behind the castle, a mine shrouded in mist can be faintly seen.
Noticing that she had stopped and was gazing at the distant mine, A followed her gaze and also looked at the mysterious-looking mine.
Little A said solemnly, "This is the mysterious mine next to my family's, which contains ores that can lift the curse."
