"So, what exactly do you mean?" the little girl asked, her eyes gazing eagerly at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin spoke sincerely, "I mean this place is not suitable for you to show your talents. To make it up to you, I can take you away from here. I have some connections outside. I can build you an amusement park, and it will be filled entirely with games you designed. Everyone out there will definitely love it."
The little girl's eyes lit up with longing. "They would really all like it?"
"Of course," Yun Jin said. "I think you do have talent in game design. And my connections are important too. I can help you find people who truly appreciate your work." She patted her chest, promising, "I also feel guilty for making you cry earlier. So rest assured, no matter what it takes, I will help you achieve your dream!"
The little girl looked confused. "It will take a lot of effort?"
"A trivial matter," Yun Jin said. "Right now, the games you make are just simulations inside illusions, so there's no real cost. But illusions need constant supervision and cannot persist. I plan to help you build an amusement park in this world. Then, even if you leave this world someday, the park will remain, and your talent in design will be remembered forever."
"Of course, this might consume a lot of resources. But don't worry about that. Even if it costs everything I have, I would have no regrets," Yun Jin said, both passionately and sincerely.
The little girl's eyes grew red again, this time from being moved.
Outside the TV, the robot and Di Xiao watched silently as Yun Jin charmed the naive little girl.
Di Xiao could not help but ask, "Why is this palace pearl spirit so immature?"
The robot let out a few awkward laughs. Actually, when the original owner had fallen, the original spirit had also perished. This spirit had been reborn after tens of thousands of years.
The newly born spirit had always remained in this trial space and had never been exposed to the dangers of society. Now, it was easily flustered by Yun Jin, which made sense.
The robot, in its mind, tried to justify the spirit's behavior.
"Come with me," Yun Jin said carefully, reaching out her hand.
The little girl hesitated, then slowly reached out her own hand.
Just as her hand was about to touch Yun Jin's palm, she suddenly remembered something and withdrew it quickly.
"What's wrong?" Yun Jin asked gently, unhurried. "Do you still have concerns? Just speak them out."
The little girl looked conflicted. "No, I can't. Long ago, I realized that if I want to leave here, I must have a new master."
Yun Jin blinked. "Is that the only way?"
The little girl nodded firmly. "There is no other way."
She looked at Yun Jin with understanding. "I know you all came to contract me. Yuan Yuan also hopes I can choose a new master soon…"
"Yuan Yuan?" Yun Jin asked.
"You must have seen it. It's that robot with a huge, perfectly round head," the little girl said, demonstrating the size with her hands.
Yun Jin suppressed a smile. "I understand, continue."
Outside the TV, the robot thought: "…"
Do not give me a nickname!
Its designation is Number 8769, meaning it was the 8,769th automaton the owner created.
"Anyway, Yuan Yuan urged me many times," the little girl babbled.
Robot: "…"
"I said, do not give me a nickname. Forget it… let it go for now."
"Yuan Yuan said that only by choosing a new master can the legacy of the original owner continue. Once the new master grows, we can have a chance to avenge the owner," the little girl continued, murmuring. "I know Yuan Yuan is right. I also want to choose a suitable successor for the owner. But…"
The little girl paused.
Yun Jin waited patiently. "But?"
"But," the little girl said, her expression suddenly calm. Gone was the innocent, carefree look from before. She said without expression, "I don't think you are capable.
Among all these trial participants, you are probably the most outstanding. But even so, it is still far from enough. Inheriting the owner's legacy also means inheriting the owner's enemies. Once you contract me, you are destined to face a very difficult path. I don't want you to regret it later, or be harmed because of it." The little girl's expression was extremely serious.
Yun Jin could not help reaching out to pat her head. She finally understood. This palace pearl spirit, because of its kindness, had been using almost mischievous methods to test and toy with each trial participant.
Moreover, Yun Jin knew how powerful the enemies the little girl referred to were. Inheriting the Celestial Divine Palace meant being targeted by a supreme-level God Realm figure. Even if the enemy had not yet discovered her in this small world, once she entered the Immortal Realm or the God Realm, there would inevitably be a day of confrontation.
That day could very well bring disaster of unimaginable magnitude.
But Yun Jin had never feared powerful enemies. She remained calm. Within this Celestial Divine Palace, there should be all of that figure's insights into the Law of Yin and Yang, and perhaps even experiences with the Law of Reincarnation.
Placed in the God Realm, even the supreme beings would fight for this. It was one of the most top-tier opportunities in the three realms.
On top of that, Yun Jin already had an even greater opportunity in her hands. By this stage, she realized that her simplified system was the true god-tier advantage. The trial tower created by the system alone might be comparable to the Celestial Divine Palace. And the trial tower was only a small reward provided by the system!
Yun Jin suspected this simplified system was no ordinary creation. If it had been intentionally designed, then the creator of this system must be unimaginably powerful.
But she was in no rush.
As long as she continued to grow stronger, all secrets would eventually be revealed.
"So, you should still leave," the little girl said seriously.
Yun Jin smiled. "How about this? You come with me to a place."
"You haven't given up?" the little girl frowned. "Besides, I cannot leave here."
At that moment, the robot spoke.
"I can maintain the stability of the trial space for a short time. As long as the time outside does not exceed one hour, it's possible."
"One hour is enough," Yun Jin said, looking at the little girl. "Do you dare to come with me?"
The little girl gritted her teeth. "What do I have to fear? But I will never change my mind."
Yun Jin smiled lightly. "Senior Yuan Yuan, please temporarily lift the space restriction."
"What Yuan Yuan? Who said my name is Yuan Yuan!" The robot stomped angrily, then temporarily lifted the spatial restriction.
The next moment, Yun Jin and the little girl disappeared from their spot.
A gleam of anticipation flashed in the robot's eyes. After hundreds of thousands of years, it had finally waited for a Yun Jin. It truly hoped Yun Jin could find a way to completely earn the recognition of the palace pearl.
