When Lin Yu and the others heard the voices of the big man and the thin man, their hearts tightened. They had just obtained the Lingyun Orb, and before they could even warm it up, troubles came one after another. Lin Yu frowned and quickly put the Lingyun Orb away carefully. He silently complained in his heart: "System, do you think you have colluded with these two guys? Every time you make trouble when I just have some gains."
The system's emotionless, mechanical voice echoed in his mind: "Host, please refrain from unwarranted speculation. This system's goal is to assist the host in improving their strength and completing the main mission. Under the current circumstances, it is recommended to evacuate immediately to avoid unnecessary conflict."
Lin Yu rolled his eyes and whispered to his companions: "Don't panic, let's retreat slowly and find a chance to slip away." Everyone held their breath and moved back carefully, their eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from, for fear that the big man and the thin man would suddenly appear.
However, before they could get very far, the burly figure of the big man appeared in sight, with the thin man following behind him, a sinister look on his face. "Haha, let's see how you can escape this time!" The big man laughed, his voice echoing in the valley.
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "It's definitely not possible to just run away like this. If they chase us, we will be caught up sooner or later. It seems that we can only give it a try." Thinking of this, his eyes became firm and he said to his companions, "Everyone get ready and fight them!"
Su Yao's face was a little pale, but she nodded vigorously, holding the weapon tightly in her hand. Xiao Yi was rubbing his hands, eager to try, with excitement flashing in his eyes. Lu Ming pushed his glasses, took a deep breath, and took out his newly developed gadget from his bag, ready to use it at any time.
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a conflict, Lin Yu suddenly had an idea and shouted to the system in his mind: "System, please see if there is any prop that can help us escape. This time we are really going to be in trouble!"
The system was silent for a moment, then the mechanical voice sounded again: "Host crisis detected. Recommending the 'Smoke Bomb Prop Pack' to the host. Once used, it can instantly release a large amount of smoke, disrupting the enemy's vision and buying time to escape. Price: 100 points."
Lin Yu almost jumped up when he heard this: "100 points? You are taking advantage of me! I only have 150 points now. Can't you give me a discount?"
The system responded emotionlessly: "The price of items is determined by their rarity and practicality and cannot be changed. It is recommended that the host make a decision as soon as possible, as the enemy is approaching."
Lin Yu had no choice but to exchange it with great pain: "Okay, okay, I really admire you. You always cheat me of my points." After that, a beautiful small package appeared in his hand.
Lin Yu opened the package without hesitation and threw the smoke bomb inside at the big man and the thin man. In an instant, white smoke spread out, covering the entire valley. The figures of the big man and the thin man became blurred in the smoke. They shouted in panic: "What is this? Don't let them get away!"
Lin Yu took the opportunity to shout: "Everyone run!" Under the cover of smoke, everyone ran desperately towards the depths of the valley. They took one deep step and one shallow step, not caring whether there was any danger ahead. They had only one thought in their minds: to get rid of the big man and the thin man.
After running for an unknown amount of time, there was no sound of pursuit from behind. Lin Yu and the others stopped and gasped for breath. "Huh, we've finally gotten rid of them for the time being." Su Yao slumped on the ground, her face exhausted.
Lin Yu looked at everyone's embarrassed appearance and felt guilty: "It's all my fault. If I had been more careful, I wouldn't have been discovered by them."
Xiao Yi smiled and patted Lin Yu's shoulder: "What are you talking about? It's not your fault. Besides, we also got the Lingyun Orb, which is a big harvest."
Lu Ming pushed his glasses and said, "However, this incident has also reminded us that we must be more cautious in the future. Besides, our strength is still too weak, so we need to find a way to improve it."
Lin Yu nodded and said to the system in his heart: "System, can't you issue tasks to improve your strength? Give me a few quickly, I want to become stronger!"
The system responded, "The daily sign-in function is enabled. The host will receive a random reward if they sign in today. In addition, the main quest has been issued: travel to the mysterious ruins within a week to obtain ancient secret books and improve your strength. Successful quest rewards: Mysterious skill book and 500 points. Failed quest penalty: 300 points deducted and a random supernatural power sealed for three days."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "There is also a daily sign-in? Come on, let me see what I can draw today."
As soon as the voice fell, a virtual lottery interface appeared in front of Lin Yu, with various precious props and skills on it. Lin Yu took a deep breath and clicked the lottery button. The pointer spun rapidly and finally slowly stopped on a grid.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Primary Physical Enhancement Potion'. After use, it can improve physical fitness in a short period of time, and enhance strength, speed and endurance." The system prompt sounded.
Lin Yu excitedly took out the potion and drank it all. In an instant, a warm current surged in his body. He felt his body full of strength, his muscles tensed, as if he had endless energy. "This feeling is so good!" Lin Yu couldn't help but waved his fists a few times.
Su Yao and others looked at Lin Yu's changes with envy in their eyes. "Lin Yu, you are so lucky." Xiao Yi said with envy.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, after I complete the task, I will definitely find a way for everyone to improve their strength. Now, let's go to the mysterious ruins first. System, show me the way."
The system immediately displayed a map in Lin Yu's mind, which clearly marked the location of the mysterious ruins and the route to them. Lin Yu shared the map with his companions, and after a short rest, they set off in the direction of the mysterious ruins.
