Time: [8:11:01] Today's weather: pleasant.
Today was the day the Guild Competition began.
Ye Qiyan woke up in bed.
The system's Light Screen flickered gently before him with a grayish-white glow.

Lin You: ["Haha, who says machines can't have ghosts? You haven't seen much, have you? I've seen mechanical ghosts several times. Those robots can give rise to spirits after they die too. Look around carefully. You might find yourself a Ghost Spirit Card."]
A Chuan: ["Got it, Senior Lin You!"]
Stasia:
