My System is Too Awesome! Chapter 24

After Bai Ye taught Xiao Chenyu a lesson.

Xiao Chenyu did not dare get angry in the slightest. Instead, he eagerly invited Bai Ye and all the work-study students from Seventh Dormitory—especially Xiao Wu—to eat on the second floor of the cafeteria, treating them to a meal as an apology.

Bai Ye naturally agreed.

Then, Bai Ye led Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the work-study students of Seventh Dormitory to the cafeteria alongside Xiao Chenyu and the other noble and regular students.

It had to be said that, as the son of Nuoding City's lord, Xiao Chenyu might have been a wastrel, but he knew when to yield and when to stand firm. His social skills were maxed out.

Over that meal, Xiao Chenyu somehow managed to dispel the work-study students' long-standing resentment toward him. He even had his lackeys take over the work-study students' daily cleaning duties, which made Xiao Wu quite satisfied as well.

After Xiao Chenyu had backed down, there was naturally no longer any conflict between the work-study students and the noble students at Nuoding Academy.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Over the past half year, building on the goodwill he had earned from Xiao Wu through his earlier actions, Bai Ye had naturally won Xiao Wu's heart through his companionship.

This was clear from the fact that Xiao Wu was already willing to let Bai Ye use the comb her mother had left behind to comb and braid her hair.

But as that year drew to a close.

Having successfully won Xiao Wu's heart, Bai Ye also prepared to leave Nuoding City and return to Spirit City.

"Ah! I'll be leaving Nuoding City soon. How am I supposed to stay in touch with Xiao Wu afterward? Do I have to come back to Nuoding City once every year?"

At dusk, after practicing Martial Arts in the woods behind Nuoding Academy, Bai Ye lay atop a cliff, gazing at the sprawling forest beneath it, Nuoding Academy, and the building-filled Nuoding City in the glow of the setting sun. He could not help feeling rather helpless.

Since Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, she had learned about Spirit Hall's place on the Douluo Continent over the past half year. She definitely would not be willing to go to Spirit Hall with him.

Though if Bai Ye put his mind to it through the system, he could get Xiao Wu something to conceal her identity, it would be rather difficult to explain.

If only I had an item like a phone!

Thinking of the many lottery-system novels he had read in his previous life, where the protagonists could even draw items like Silly Girl, surely it was not too much to ask for a phone-like item that would let him contact Xiao Wu?

Bai Ye could not help thinking enviously.

"Ding! The system has detected that the host is extremely envious of the communication tools drawn by protagonists in other novel worlds. The system believes the host indeed requires this type of item and hereby grants the host: two Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones!"

"Description: Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones come from a technological cultivation world and are produced by Hongmeng Corporation, that world's leading phone manufacturer."

"The Crystal Board Phones are made entirely from crystals taken from the bodies of a special spirit beast known as the Crystal Devouring Beast. Countless runic arrays related to communication are inscribed upon them, allowing communication across tens of thousands of miles. Their functions include voice transmission, calls, image projection, casual games, and more."

As Bai Ye was feeling both helpless and envious, the system's cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind again.

"Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones?"

Hearing the system's voice in his mind, Bai Ye was immediately overjoyed.

Though he had never heard of Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones, according to the system's description, their functions perfectly met his needs.

If the system had rewarded him with a phone from Earth in his previous life, even some futuristic high-tech phone, it would probably still need supporting facilities like satellites and base stations for long-distance communication.

But the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones rewarded by the system this time were magical artifacts from a cultivation world. Their communication functions relied on the runic arrays—or rather, spells—inscribed upon them, so they did not need satellites or base stations.

"Haha! With these two Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones, I should only need to keep in touch with Xiao Wu through them from now on!"

Taking the two Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones from the system storage space, Bai Ye followed the operating methods implanted in his mind by the system and fiddled with them for a while.

Bai Ye discovered that, in some ways, the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones were even more advanced than the smartphones from his previous life. They could actually project images of the user's surroundings, creating an almost face-to-face effect.

Bai Ye was immediately thrilled.

And when he discovered that the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones even contained a few small games, Bai Ye could not help smiling. He felt that Xiao Wu would like them even more.

After obtaining the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones, Bai Ye immediately rose to his feet and, in high spirits, used Phoenix Dance Six Illusions to rush back from the rear mountain to Nuoding Academy.

Soon afterward, Nuoding Academy's final examinations arrived as scheduled.

During this time, Bai Ye also told Xiao Wu that after the final examinations, he planned to graduate from Nuoding Academy and return to Spirit Hall.

This made Xiao Wu rather sad.

But although Xiao Wu was somewhat naive, she did not try to stop Bai Ye from leaving.

Over her half year of study at Nuoding Academy, Xiao Wu had also learned how much a major faction could help a Soul Master's cultivation.

Bai Ye was different from her. Compared to remaining at Nuoding Academy, returning to Spirit City would benefit Bai Ye more.

Though she was reluctant to part with him, Xiao Wu hoped even more that Bai Ye could fly higher and farther in the future, rather than clip his wings because of her.

But seeing Xiao Wu's reluctance, Bai Ye merely smiled and took out a Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phone, handing it to Xiao Wu.

"What is this?"

Taking the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phone Bai Ye handed her, Xiao Wu was still slightly stunned. Looking at the thin, dark-gold square crystal in her hand, filled inside with strange patterns and resembling some kind of human-made object, she had no idea what it was.

"This is how we'll stay in touch from now on. It's also a special Soul Tool I happened to obtain. Even if we're separated by tens of thousands of miles, we'll still be able to contact each other. This is how you use it..."

Looking at Xiao Wu, Bai Ye smiled and walked behind her, guiding her hand in hand on how to use the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phone.

As Bai Ye drew close, Xiao Wu could even feel his breath against her small face. Her cheeks could not help turning red, and she became quite shy, but she did not shake Bai Ye off.

However, after learning from Bai Ye about the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phone's powerful functions, especially the various small games inside it, playful by nature, Xiao Wu immediately forgot her shyness and became full of excitement and delight.

"Bai Ye, this Soul Tool is amazing!"

"Hehe, of course. We'll use this to keep in touch from now on!"

Bai Ye smiled, then took out his own Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phone and waved it in front of Xiao Wu.

"Let's try it out first!"

Afterward, Bai Ye and Xiao Wu used the Hongmeng Brand Crystal Board Phones to contact each other face-to-face.

When they saw each other's projected images appear before them, overlapping with their actual bodies, Xiao Wu and Bai Ye could not help exchanging a glance before both bursting into laughter.
