System-chan immediately straightened his back and tried to calm his expression. "Of course not. The energy utilization efficiency of this system is as high as 99.99%, which is far beyond the inefficient form of biomass energy conversion."
But her eyes couldn't help but drift to the dumplings, "... It's just that the host's emotional feedback and physiological pleasure index are soaring, and the environmental happiness index wrapped in the surrounding life energy is also rising simultaneously. For research purposes, it is necessary to confirm whether this 'food' has a special emotional modulation spectrum..."
"Pfft--"
When Yu heard the words, he chuckled, tapped his fingertips on the table carelessly, and looked at the two of them with a bit of amusement.
"If you want to eat, just say so~"
Long Jinyu's mouth was full and he couldn't help but laugh. He picked up a chubby dumpling and handed it to System-chan's mouth, "Come on, System Treasure, try one! This is the 'Taste of Home' information version, you deserve it!"
System-chan looked at the dumpling handed to her mouth, and then looked at Long Jinyu's bright, smiling eyes, and the last trace of "inhuman" persistence collapsed. She opened her mouth slightly, bit the dumpling awkwardly, and ate it.
The sophisticated facial Simulation system immediately converted the "taste" signal into a data stream. After a moment, her heterochromatic pupils widened slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed through. "... the taste is rich in layers, the energy conversion is gentle, and the emotional Simulation module feedback... pleasure +15%, sense of belonging +22%. It is indeed an efficient emotional intervention medium. Host, please apply to ingest another one for in-depth analysis..."
"Haha, give it to you!"
Long Jinyu was amused by her serious "scientific research report" and gave her two more.
For a time, the cold laboratory was filled with the aroma of food, the warm sound of chewing and relaxed laughter. Those life and death crises, bloodline responsibilities, and world games seemed to be temporarily isolated.
After having enough wine and food, System-chan "analyzed" half of the pot.
"Beep--emotional fluctuations have stabilized, and physiological functions have returned to 92% of the optimal threshold."
System-chan tidied up her appearance and reported meticulously, but there was still a trace of unwiped oil on the corner of her mouth, which made her "professional" look a bit cute.
She looked at Long Jinyu who was slumped on the woven wicker chair and squinted her eyes with satisfaction. She flipped her palm and condensed a suet-fat jade bottle less than the size of a palm out of thin air. The surface of the jade bottle naturally flowed with cloud-like lines, and the glimmer of the bottle was restrained. It was obvious at a glance that it was extraordinary.
"Give the host an after-meal drink to assist in energy absorption and soul soothing."
Long Jinyu took it curiously, holding it heavily with a hint of coolness. Just as he was about to open it, System-chan reached out and gently pressed his hand.
"Wait a minute, host."
She grinned and said, "The name of this product is 'Dragon Source Marrow Essence'. It is an unusual drink. It is extremely strong in nature and extremely pure. It is not a pure dragon bloodline or a person with the highest life toughness. It will be injured if it is touched and burned if it is drunk. You can only try it after you have recovered and can sense your bloodline."
"I understand, it's just that you can't just give this stuff to others to drink."
"Bingo~"
With that said, she motioned for Long Jinyu to turn on.
Long Jinyu Hold your breath and carefully pull out the simple jade cork.
"Wow--!"
A majestic dragon's power, accompanied by energy fluctuations as pure as the rising sun, spurted out from the mouth of the small bottle! It instantly enveloped the entire space, and the vague and vague dragon's roar even sounded in the air.
Long Jinyu was just about to pour it into the shiny jade bowl that had been prepared earlier when System-chan reached out his hand and gently placed it on the back of his hand holding the jade bottle.
Her fingers were slightly cold, with a delicate touch, and her movements were a bit unfamiliar but undeniable.
"Host, let me do it."
Her voice was calm, the focus of her heterochromatic eyes fell on the overlapping hands of the two people, and the data stream flickered slightly, "The energy flow pattern of 'Dragon Source Marrow Essence' is special, and the pouring angle and speed need to be precisely controlled to avoid the evaporation of the essence and the escape of the dragon-shaped aura. You have just recovered, so your wrist may be unstable."
While she explained with professional-sounding reasons, she used Long Jinyu's hand to guide the jade bottle to tilt slowly.
Their hands were so close that they could feel each other's warmth and subtle movements. Long Jinyu could smell the fresh scent of starlight and electronic mint in her hair.
After pouring, she seemed to realize the intimacy of this gesture. She quickly and naturally withdrew her hand, put the jade bottle away, her eyes drifted away, and the redness of her ears seemed to be more obvious.
"Please use."
A ball of nine-colored glow swayed in the bowl, which was constantly flowing. The fragrance was fragrant, and it was not inferior to the previous dumplings.
In the twilight, a lifelike shadow of a pale golden dragon was swimming happily.
"This, this is..."
Long Jinyu was stunned. Just smelling the aroma made him feel refreshed, and Dragon God Bloodline, who was silent in his body, was throbbing with joy.
"The origin of dragon veins is highly condensed, supplemented by several long-extinct treasures from heaven and earth, which have been deposited in the cracks of time and space for thousands of years to obtain."
Yu explained warmly to the side, looking at the "Dragon Source Marrow Essence" with admiration, "System Treasure is willing to give it up. Even in the heyday of the Dragon Clan, this item was a treasure that only beings above the Dragon King level could occasionally enjoy. It has an incredible effect on stabilizing the origin, purifying the bloodline, and nourishing the soul."
Long Jinyu suddenly looked at System-chan, who was pretending to study the light screen, but secretly glanced at this side from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. "Oh! System Treasure! The sun came out in the south today? Are you finally willing to take out the good things you packed at the bottom of the box to honor the host? What about when you used to dig and search to calculate points?"
System-chan stiffened, turned his face, and tried hard to maintain a calm expression. "Host, please pay attention to your wording. All resource allocation in this system is based on the optimal performance ratio and the matching of the host's growth stage. Previously you The bloodline strength and life level have not reached the safety threshold, and blindly using 'Dragon Source Marrow Essence' is harmful and useless. The time has come, and it will be distributed as needed. This is not a 'search', but a rigorous... risk management."
"Ah yes, yes, risk management has the best efficiency."
Long Jinyu smiled like a thief and stopped teasing her. He picked up the jade bowl, and the nine-colored glow automatically adsorbed on the wall of the bowl. The shadow of the little dragon in it also swam closer to the bowl, as if looking at him curiously.
"However, since it is so precious..."
He placed the jade bowl steadily on the table between the two of them, with a sincere smile on his face, "I can't enjoy it alone. Sister Yu, System Treasure, let's drink together? It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together!"
Yu was stunned for a moment. Staring into Long Jinyu's magnanimous eyes, there were no calculations or politeness in them, only the sincerity of simply wanting to share beautiful things with the important people.
In her long life, she had seen too much greed and monopolization of treasures, and the young man's heartfelt desire to share in front of her was like an uncut jade, which chilled her eternal heart and created a circle of warm ripples.
The soft smile on her lips deepened, and she shook her head gently. "Lord, I understand your thoughts more and more. For me, this nourishing effect is very small, and it is more of a taste. But for you, it is a good medicine that consolidates the foundation of the Tao. If you can make the best use of it and improve your cultivation, I will be safe and happy, without asking for anything else. You can enjoy it with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Long Jinyu felt a little regretful, but he understood Yu's considerations. He looked at System-chan again. "What about you, System Treasure? Don't you like 'in-depth analysis'? You can't just look at the data, you have to do some 'field sampling'!"
When System-chan heard this, the data stream in her heterochromatic pupils flashed rapidly. She was indeed recording the energy spectrum of "Dragon Source Marrow Essence", but "taste it personally"... This was not within the direct plan of her initial agreement. However, the host sent a "sharing" invitation, which is a high-priority social interaction behavior.
"Analysis... requires multidimensional data."
She considered the words, and her eyes fell on the bowl of glow, "If the host allows it, and DK... A Yu confirms that my energy structure can safely analyze some of its surface active factors..."
"Oh, there are so many programs!"
Long Jinyu directly picked up the jade bowl and carefully poured about a third of it into another empty cup next to it. The nine-colored glow and the little dragon's shadow also automatically diverted part of it. He pushed the cup to System-chan, "Here, try it! Don't just analyze it, but also experience what it feels like to taste good! This is the treasure you brought out. You haven't tried it yourself, what a pity."
