393, Space-Time Door Key, open another door! [First Update]_1

```

"No."

Lin Yi replied expressionlessly.

But who would have guessed that Black Swan's displeased expression quickly vanished, replaced instead by a smirk of triumph. Was her urgency just now all an act?

She elegantly placed her hands behind her back, moving towards Lin Yi's line of sight with the graceful steps of a black swan.

Black Swan spoke teasingly, "So the Golden Dragon Lord still likes Bi Ji. Otherwise, why would he say Bi Ji is cute?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Can I even refute that?

But there was no need to refute. Black Swan's schemes were too deep, and it was easy to be led astray by her.

Lin Yi maintained a calm demeanor and did not give a response.

However, Black Swan again curled the corner of her mouth, murmuring to herself or perhaps deliberately for Lin Yi to hear, "I'm so jealous. If only the Golden Dragon Lord would praise me too, I would be very happy~"

"Also?"

When Lin Yi looked at her again, the black figure had vanished, replaced by Bi Ji in a green dress, her cheeks flushed as though wearing blush.

The system seemed to have quietly fixed this reward bug...

Lin Yi remembered that Bi Ji used to be unaware of anything Black Swan did, while Black Swan was aware of all Bi Ji's actions.

Now, it seemed Bi Ji could recall what had happened while she was Black Swan, and of course, she had heard the conversation between Lin Yi and Black Swan just now.

That was probably why she was blushing.

Bi Ji stood there, clueless on what to do next, her large eyes blinking rapidly. Although Lin Yi had not directly praised her, Black Swan's words seemed to have done so indirectly.

Bi Ji was both thrilled and flustered, only able to express her emotions through her flushed cheeks.

Zi Ji noticed Bi Ji's disarray and quickly went over with a smile to smooth things over, taking Bi Ji's hand and saying, "Sister Bi Ji, I'm about to launch the second attack. This time, I'll use an upgraded skill without any assistance. Could you leave the stage for now?"

"Um, okay."

Bi Ji responded, a bit dazed, rubbing her cheek with one hand, exhaling deeply, feeling the heat rush to her face.

So nervous, I need to get off the stage!

With shaky hands, she briskly stepped down the stairs and headed backstage to hide behind her master, bowing her head low.

Gu Yuena turned around, her curiosity piqued as she nonchalantly asked Bi Ji, "Being praised by him... what's that feel like?"

Bi Ji lifted her panicked eyes, "Surprising... very happy, like a bee sting on the cheek..."

Gu Yuena had a question mark hanging over her face.

What the heck does that feel like?

The single dog is quite confused... She quickly gave up on the idea to try and get stung by a bee on the face, knowing that Bi Ji's thought process was hardly comparable to that of normal people.

Di Tian listened silently to their exchange, his heart bleeding.

So... Bi Ji liked the Golden Dragon Lord?

Clad in Chelsea gear, he suddenly felt a strong urge to transform...

...

Zi Ji lifted her arm to check the bracelet on her wrist, which indicated she had eighty percent energy remaining.

Based on the last attack, the Electric Light Poison Dragon Laser Cannon would consume about forty percent of the energy, so there was plenty left to use.

Zi Ji's bracelet began to glow, and the light blue armor attached itself to her body again. As her lower body cooled down, Zi Ji quickly wrapped herself in a purple dress, covering her fair, well-proportioned legs, allowing everyone only about a second's glimpse.

"Damn! It's just a ferocious beast, why be so modest about being seen? One second isn't even enough time for me to rush."

"I've had enough."

```

"...Really?"

"You don't believe it?"

"Holy shit! Big bro! That's too much! There's no need to prove it!"

Wearing Strete Country Technological Armor, Zi Ji's feet conjured a hovering disc, and she distanced herself from Lin Yi by riding the disc across the platform. The Electric Light Poison Dragon Laser Cannon was still very powerful... though the exact damage was unclear.

At that moment, the corner of Zi Ji's eye twitched. She had been too preoccupied with making excuses for Bi Ji and allowed her to leave too soon. What if the damage from the Electric Light Poison Dragon Laser Cannon was lower than six hundred thousand?

If it was lower than six hundred thousand, the result would definitely be a reward downgrade.

Forget it, let's just do this!

Zi Ji raised her hand, and the components on the mechanical arm clicked and whirred as the spiral gun barrel extended, spreading purple light within.

Energy gradually converged inside it, with a purple laser replacing the previous pale blue one, bursting forth uncontrollably!

"Boom!"

The laser struck Lin Yi, and rampant shock waves swept across the arena with an irresistible force!

"Buzz——"

Everyone felt the oppressive sensation brought by the attack, involuntarily stepping back.

The silence on the field lasted for merely a brief moment. Energy rapidly gathered around Lin Yi, quickly turning a golden red and swelling to a terrifying extent.

Zi Ji's expression turned grave as she raised her hand once more.

The best way to deal with damage rebound was to use the same method of attack!

The mechanical arms transformed again, the spiral barrel blending with the purple glow. Energy accumulated step by step, and with a "boom," another Electric Light Poison Dragon Laser Cannon fired.

The laser cannon shell cut swiftly through the damage rebound, and Lin Yi quickly raised his hand, seizing the laser shell that was about to skim past his head.

He tightened his grip, "Bang!"

The shell shattered in his hand.

In another space, Destruction watched this scene, feeling a chill in one arm uncontrollably rising. Silently, he grasped that arm with his other hand, his expression darkening, and his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

Lin Yi looked at the panel.

[Blood Loss: 556784]

[Remaining Health: 899882136749]

[Damage Grade: Red High-Tier (Downgraded)]

[Random Reward: Space-Time Door Key (Left)]

[Host Reward: Space-Time Door Key (Right)]

The reward was downgraded too?

Did you guys from Star Dou Great Forest Camp arrange for a collective downgrade of rewards today?

Lin Yi couldn't help complaining in his mind.

And this reward, the Space-Time Door Key.

This reward was most likely to appear in the Gold Level prize pool, but there's also a chance it could turn up in other prize pools, even within the Yellow Level, albeit the probability is extremely low.

The Spatiotemporal Gate has two locks, and usually, one would need two keys to open that door.

As for Lin Yi, his inventory actually had plenty of "Right Keys."

Therefore, whenever there was a Left Key, he would choose to open a Spatiotemporal Gate. The more powerful beings that come through, the better.

Just don't have too many at once, like that time at the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy...

Lin Yi said to Zi Ji, "Damage 556784. Since it's lower than your historical high, the quality of the reward has been downgraded. You have received a Red High-Tier reward, the Left Key of Space-Time."
