"Follow Mode activated," a gentle female voice echoed in my mind. "Bio-warrior Yueying will remain inseparable from you. In Follow Mode, Yueying will not initiate any attacks."

"That was close! Damn it, so it’s controlled by voice!" I finally let out a long sigh of relief, and only then did I have the composure to closely examine Yueying before me!

She still stood as straight as a pine, yet her icy eyes seemed unfocused, appearing vacant and lost! There wasn't a trace of life in them! The three-dimensional projection in my mind clearly reflected my current probing movements and gaze!

This made me somewhat puzzled: "What is going on? Why am I seeing myself in my mind?"

"Because Yueying has enabled visual sharing, consciousness sharing, and power sharing. Therefore, the micro-computer connected to your brain will automatically link to Yueying's visual angle. What you are seeing is precisely Yueying's observational perspective," the familiar gentle female voice sounded again in my mind.

"Consciousness sharing, visual sharing, what are those?" I was utterly dumbfounded! Damn it, what kind of people are this Wolong Clan? This is too high-tech!

"Consciousness sharing and visual sharing are a new type of control system developed by Warner Biological Research Company in the 24th century. Its principle is to control the mental fields of the main body and the sub-body through a micro-computer to achieve mental synchronization, thus achieving the goal of consciousness and mental synchronization. This is the principle of consciousness sharing and visual sharing. In the state of consciousness and visual sharing, you will be able to perceive everything Yueying can perceive," the gentle female voice continued. "Do you have any other questions?"

"......"

It can actually answer my questions! It seems this thing is highly functional!

I instinctively touched my head. After all, I clearly remembered that blue luminous pearl flying into my head just now, but I couldn't feel any scar or incision. What was going on?

"How did the blue luminous pearl get into my head?" I quickly asked, "Will there be any after-effects?"

"The Blue Luminous Pearl—Designation XY080 Bio-Intelligence Core, Yueying's control system. This core is an organic matter of biological fusion and will not cause any side effects to the human body or brain," the gentle female voice continued. "Do you have any other questions?"

"Are you telling me that you are the one controlling Yueying?" I was quite shocked.

"You can understand it that way." The gentle female voice continued, "To facilitate the control of Yueying’s actions, the Blue Luminous Pearl—Designation XY080 Bio-Intelligence Core, Yueying's control system, has directly fused with your brain nerves to ensure that every command from you is transmitted to Yueying in a timely manner. Therefore, I am Yueying's main control system!"

"En." A very intelligent thing. I instinctively asked, "What is your name?"

"Blue Luminous Pearl—Designation XY080 Bio-Intelligence Core, Yueying Control System," the gentle female voice replied.

"Geez, that's long. Isn't there a simpler one?" I asked reflexively.

"For ease of memory and communication, you are free to define a simplified name for the system."

"You mean I can give you a name!" My eyes lit up. Is that right?"

"Yes!"

"From now on, you will be called Lan Ye." Lan Ye was actually an abbreviation for Blue Luminous Pearl! But it sounded quite cool!

"Affirmative, system renaming initiated, codename Lan Ye." Lan Ye's gentle voice followed up, "Do you have any other questions?"

"One last question." I continued, "Who exactly are the people of the Wolong Clan?"

"Your question involves S-level national secrets. Please input the S-level password, otherwise, I cannot answer."

"Holy crap, this is considered classified?" I was helpless.

"Then what about the so-called Warner Pharmaceutical Company just now?" Since I couldn't ask directly, I decided to change my approach. In fact, I had already guessed the situation: this so-called Wolong Clan must be a race with a highly developed technological civilization, at least far surpassing modern society's civilization.

"Your question involves S-level national secrets. Please input the S-level password, otherwise, I cannot answer."

"No way, this is classified too," I said irritably, "Can't you tell me some useful information?"

"Please input the keyword for the information you wish to search." Yueying remained imperturbable.

"China." I thought. Since they were using Chinese characters, this Wolong Clan must have a close relationship with China.

"Keyword China, initiating search." The three-dimensional projection in my mind immediately displayed a series of bizarre images.

"Keyword China involves S-level secrets. Please input the S-level password, otherwise, search results cannot be displayed."

"S-level password again." I finally understood. It seemed the Wolong Clan didn't want to leave any information in this Mafa World.

However, I was absolutely certain that this so-called Wolong Clan had a significant connection to the modern society I lived in, especially since the characters Yueying used were authentic Chinese, and terms like S-level password and company—words only likely to appear in modern society—had surfaced.

Although Lan Ye seemed tight-lipped, I still didn't want to give up easily.

"Then what do you know?" I asked irritably.

"Apart from the specified combat system data, I cannot answer any of your questions," Lan Ye continued. "You may input the S-level password to directly access the system's database for review." Finally, Lan Ye repeated, "Do you have any other questions?"

Damn, S-level password again.

I finally realized why all the previous questions yielded no results—it was all because of this damned S-level password.

No matter how unwilling I was, I could only give up for now.

It seemed that to unravel this mystery, I might only succeed if I met someone from the Wolong Villa!

"Fine, one last question!" I instinctively scanned my surroundings. "Where is this place, and how do I leave?"

"This is Strategic Base XY080. You must pass the system's combat test to obtain the qualification permit to command Yueying and leave the base."

"Combat test." I was quite surprised. "How is the test conducted?"

"The system will teleport you and Yueying to a specific arena. After defeating Yueying in the arena, you will automatically obtain the rank of Second Lieutenant. With the authority of a Second Lieutenant, you can open the base's transportation passage to leave."

"Are you kidding me? You want me to fight Yueying one-on-one!" I almost jumped up. "How is that possible! She's a bio-warrior!" But I quickly recalled my magic immunity constitution; Yueying was a mage, so she couldn't possibly hurt me, right?

"For the sake of fairness, Yueying's combat power will be reduced by eighty percent," Lan Ye continued. "To more accurately test your maximum combat power, Yueying's combat system will switch to a melee combat system identical to yours."

"Melee combat system?" I didn't understand. "What is that?"

"Yueying's combat system is divided into three types: Mage God System, Holy War System, and Heavenly Venerate System. Among these, the Holy War System belongs to the melee combat system!"

"Meaning Yueying will become a warrior like me," I murmured.

"Yes." Lan Ye asked, "Shall we begin the combat test?"

"A warrior is a warrior." I gritted my teeth. "I'll risk it. I don't believe I can't even withstand twenty percent of Yueying's combat power."

"Combat test, beginning."
