The row was filled with all kinds of pills meant to restore a man’s vigor—things like “Seven Times a Night Pill,” “Diamond Never-Falls Pill,” and “Enhanced Masculinity Pill.” There was practically everything imaginable, catering to every possible need of a Dragon Overlord.
“I never thought Dragon Overlords would have problems like that. I always assumed they were naturally gifted!” Liu Qingyu remarked mercilessly with a laugh.
The Dragon Overlord Rise System had just returned from reporting the binding error to the Main System in the God Space. The first thing it heard upon its return was its host’s teasing, leaving it somewhat helpless.
[Host, Dragon Overlords are still human. After too many rounds, even they run out of stamina. This system exists precisely to ensure that Dragon Overlords have no worries in that regard.]
“Oh? Is that so? Since I’ve bound to this system now, shouldn’t you make sure I have no worries too? You can’t discriminate based on gender!”
Liu Qingyu had surprisingly detected a hint of helplessness in the system’s mechanical voice and immediately decided to “milk some benefits” from it.
When she had first bound with the system, she had already suspected that it had only recently started working. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easily fooled by her into not daring to unbind itself.
[Host, I just returned from the God Space. The Main System already knows that we bound to the wrong person. Since I only recently graduated from System School, I don’t have enough energy to unbind.
The Main System has specially compensated you with 500 Dragon Overlord Points. Once I have enough energy, the time of unbinding will be entirely up to you.]
Hmm, the situation was pretty much what she had expected.
She hadn’t even had the chance to fleece the system, and the Main System had already proactively given her benefits.
“Alright, I understand. System, do you have a name? What should I call you?” Liu Qingyu asked.
[Host, I don’t have a name. I can only obtain an official system serial number after completing beginner system missions.]
Liu Qingyu could hear a trace of disappointment and sadness in the mechanical voice, so she immediately comforted it.
“It’s okay. It’s just a name, right? I’ll give you one.
“My surname is Liu, so you can share my surname. As for your given name… since you’re the Dragon Overlord Rise System, why not call you Aotian? From today onward, you’re Liu Aotian!”
[Thank you, Host! I finally have a name! From now on, I am Liu Aotian!!!]
The excited mechanical voice of the system—no, of Liu Aotian—rang inside her mind.
Liu Qingyu shook her head with amusement.
As expected of a newly graduated system. A mere name had made it so happy.
Looks like she’d have to feed it a few more sweet promises in the future.
But for now, the most important thing was carefully browsing the Dragon Overlord Store and buying something that would help her sneak into the Liu residence tonight.
She discovered that the store truly had an incredible variety of items.
Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, cultivation manuals, weapons, talismans—everything was available.
If you could think of it, the store probably had it.
Of course, the prices were equally astonishing.
For example, a Spiritual Spring Space about the same size as hers cost a whopping 10,000 Dragon Overlord Points.
Liu Qingyu couldn’t help but marvel.
Thankfully, she had been lucky enough to win hers in the lottery.
If she had needed to save up enough points to buy one, who knew how many years it would have taken?
Not everything in the store was expensive, however.
Ordinary items such as food and clothing without special functions were quite cheap. A single point could buy quite a lot.
But she didn’t currently need those things, so she mercilessly scrolled past them in search of what she wanted.
Soon, she found something suitable.
[Invisibility Cloak (Single Use): Want to become invisible? Then put this on! Duration: two hours~ Price: 15 points.]
[Universal Key: A key that can open any lock. It can only be used three times and will turn to dust afterward. Price: 10 points.]
The two items complemented each other perfectly.
Liu Qingyu stroked her chin thoughtfully.
Liu Aotian watched its host stare fixedly at those two items and was puzzled.
She had just received five hundred points, after all. She could easily afford them.
[Host, I have access to internal discounts. I can reduce the price even further for you.]
Although it didn’t understand why its host hadn’t purchased them yet, wasn’t a system’s purpose to help its host solve problems?
Yes, that was exactly how it should be.
Without Liu Qingyu realizing it, her system had already completely brainwashed itself.
“There’s an internal discount too? Quickly, tell me—how much can you reduce the price by?!”
Liu Qingyu jumped up from her chair in excitement.
Seeing his host so happy, Liu Aotian secretly encouraged himself.
Liu Aotian, you’re doing the right thing. Look how happy the host is. So what if you don’t get your commission? It’s no big deal.
Yes, commission.
Normally, when a host purchased something from the store, the bound system would receive a certain percentage of the points as a reward.
Very few systems would ever return that benefit to their hosts.
But Liu Aotian, a newly minted system fresh out of school, had never even considered keeping it.
It enthusiastically began modifying the store’s prices with a single command.
When Liu Qingyu didn’t hear a response, she thought the system had bugged out.
Just as she was about to speak, the store interface flickered and then returned to normal.
The prices of the Invisibility Cloak and Universal Key had changed.
The Invisibility Cloak had dropped from 15 points to 10 points, while the Universal Key had gone from 10 points to 5 points.
Now, for the original price of a single Invisibility Cloak, she could buy both items.
“Aotian, you’re the best system ever!”
Liu Qingyu happily pressed the purchase button.
Having been praised, Liu Aotian was beside itself with joy and was practically spinning in circles inside her mind.
Liu Qingyu watched her points decrease from 501 to 486.
Then, a piece of clothing as thin as a cicada’s wing and a thin piece of wire appeared in her hands.
She could understand the Invisibility Cloak…
But why was the Universal Key just a piece of wire?
The corners of her mouth twitched as she complained inwardly.
Complaints aside, obtaining these two items greatly eased the pressure in her heart.
Now she finally had time to properly organize the original owner’s belongings.
She first checked the wardrobe and discovered that most of the clothes were plain and simple.
There were very few bright colors and even fewer luxurious silks and satins.
It wasn’t hard to guess why—it was all to avoid provoking the displeasure of the Second Branch of the family.
However, these clothes were actually quite suitable now.
On the road to exile, rough cloth garments would be far more practical.
Thinking this, she packed all the clothes into her storage space.
After finishing with the clothes, Liu Qingyu frowned at her embroidered shoes.
At a glance, they were clearly unsuitable for long journeys.
She needed to find several pairs of thick-soled cloth shoes—they would be much better for walking.
The original owner didn’t possess many gold or silver ornaments.
Liu Qingyu had already stored them away earlier.
She looked at the bedding and, with a wave of her hand, packed it into the space as well.
Anything that might prove useful in the future was taken.
Looking at the room, now so empty and spotless that it seemed no one had ever lived there, Liu Qingyu nodded in satisfaction.
After finishing up in her own room, she quickly headed toward her mother’s quarters.
At that moment, a panicked voice suddenly rang out:
“Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!”
