Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Dog! Than! System!
This snow mountain is particularly steep, even magic beasts might not be able to climb it. By the time Qian Qi reached the horizontal ice cone mountain body, she was already sweating from head to toe.
This section of the ice cone mountain body wasn’t like others that were full of mountain spikes. It seemed to have been smoothed by someone, appearing very flat. She stepped lightly onto this platform, clutching an A-level dagger in her hand, and cautiously approached the thatched cottage.
As she got closer, Qian Qi realized it wasn’t a thatched cottage, but a house made of various dark stones, covered on the outside with a layer of light wheat-colored turf. She reached out and pinched it, finding that the turf was incredibly hard, almost comparable to A-level Defense Armor.
"This..." Qian Qi’s eyes gradually widened, "is a good thing!"
She immediately began tapping the stones of the piled-up house, discovering that the stones and adhesive were also extraordinary. Even if she punched with all her might, she couldn’t make the slightest crack!
Ah~ I want to take it all~~~
[Qiqi...] The system panel faced her, warning: [If you leave now, it’s not too late.]
"Why?" Qian Qi asked suspiciously.
This stone house was built halfway up the mountain, with half of it at the tip of the ice cone mountain body. Because it was by the cliff edge, she couldn’t see with her eyes. She circled the house halfway but found no windows, only a pitch-black stone door in the center.
[Have you heard of Pandora’s Box?] Though the system panel can’t speak, the white font on the panel somehow carried an eerie tone, [Opening this door is like opening Pandora’s Box...]
Qian Qi: ...
You’re making me really scared.
[We don’t need it.] The system, like a good brother, patted Qian Qi’s shoulder, [Now that you’ve seen it, let’s go.]
Qian Qi suspiciously stared at it. Unfortunately, the system panel wasn’t human; as long as it didn’t show an emoji, no one could tell if it was speaking the truth or lying.
Should she trust the system and refuse to open this door?
Pandora’s Box, she knew about it. In Ancient Greek mythology, Zeus gave Prometheus’s brother Epimetheus a magic box, which contained all the evils of the world, and Epimetheus’s woman Pandora couldn’t resist opening it, thereby unleashing all the evils and bringing greed, hypocrisy, slander, jealousy, pain... to the human world.
Qian Qi really didn’t want to open something so evil.
Glancing at the black door, she sighed lightly. In the end, Qian Qi chose to set aside her curiosity, "Let’s forget it."
The system immediately exclaimed with joy: [Then let’s go!]
"Wait a minute, these grass mats are quite nice, let’s take them!" Qian Qi’s eyes sparkled. This stuff is good, perfect for covering the little house in her Vegetable Garden Dungeon~
The system was immediately shocked, [No]...
Before the words on the panel were fully displayed, Qian Qi had already jumped up and pulled down the grass mat from the eaves. Immediately, something fell with a crisp sound onto the icy ground, catching Qian Qi’s attention.
She turned back to look and found it was a golden key.
Qian Qi: ???
Why is there a key here?
She picked up the golden key, glanced beside her, and found a tiny keyhole indeed at the upper right corner of the black door.
"..." She turned to look at the system, "May I ask, can magic beasts make keys?"
System: [...]
"Isn’t this a key made by humans?"
System: [...]
"Isn’t this a house for humans?"
System: [...]
Qian Qi smiled slightly: "Congratulations, system, you’ve lost my last bit of trust."
[Please don’t, Qiqi!] The system clung tightly to her leg, wailing, [It was just a moment of insanity! I will change! Please continue to believe in me in the future, sob sob sob——]
"Heh, I’m afraid I already know what’s inside." Qian Qi kicked the system away with an expressionless face, sneering, "Only knowledge that’s valuable enough for me to exploit for free can make you so shocked ^_^!"
Qian Qi inserted the golden key into the keyhole, and with a "click," the black door opened.
As she looked inside, Qian Qi’s eyes trembled slightly and constricted. Although the room was spotless, it was a mess, as if it had been robbed, with many pieces of furniture and personal items scattered on the floor.
The interior was simple, with a yellow wooden desk, a dining table, several chairs, a single bed, a bookshelf mounted on the wall, and a wall-mounted fireplace.
Near the edge of the cliff, a glass window allowed light to filter through, illuminating the room. From the window, one could even see the magnificent snow-capped mountains outside, breathtakingly stunning.
"It really... is a place where humans lived."
Qian Qi felt a chill spread throughout her body. There were no clothes here, no photo albums, so she had no way of knowing who lived here. She lifted her foot and walked towards the bookshelf, picking up the scattered books on the floor.
Books can best reveal the character of the owner.
Qian Qi discovered that the covers of these books resembled parchment, without any text. However, upon opening the first page, an indescribable emotion quickly spread from her heart to her entire body, causing her to tremble all over.
How... why are there traditional Chinese characters here?
No, that’s not right...
Qian Qi quickly flipped through the pages. Although the characters looked like traditional Chinese characters, they weren’t the ones she had seen in her previous life. It’s more accurate to say that they merely resembled them. Many characters looked similar, but some strokes had clever curves, making them resemble both traditional Chinese and hieroglyphs.
However, reading them wasn’t very difficult. You could smoothly read them according to your first impression of the characters.
"The research on combined skills of Magic Beasts has reached a mature stage..." Qian Qi murmured aloud. The next second, her deep, dark gaze fiercely turned to the system, and a shrill voice echoed, sounding like a vengeful ghost, "Dog! System!"
