A faint blue light flashed from the depths of the pipe, and Lin Ye was stunned for a moment. In this wasteland at the bottom where there are mountains of garbage, there are still things that shine? He hesitated for two seconds. As a veteran who had been working at the bottom for three years, he knew very well what this "windfall" meant - either a bait trap set by an evil cyber cultivator, or an equipment fragment accidentally dropped by a high-level player, which was randomly refreshed to this area by the system. No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with him. He is just a waste locked in karma and can never turn around. But the blue light flashed again, brighter than before. As if... Calling him, Lin Ye paused in his steps. He stared at the darkness, his pupils reflecting the flickering neon lights. And then, damn it, he walked over. He is already rotten in the mud anyway, why are he afraid of stepping on dog poop? The depths of the pipe were wider than he had imagined, and the air was filled with the smell of old metal and a hint of sandalwood—wait, sandalwood? Why is there sandalwood in this damn place? Lin Ye frowned and continued to move forward, following the blue light.
Five minutes later, he was standing in front of an abandoned server room. The door to the computer room was ajar, and most of the indicator lights inside had been extinguished. Only an old terminal in the corner still lit up with a faint blue light. On the terminal screen, a line of code that he had never seen before was suddenly displayed:
[Cryptotext parsing...]
[Inactive system fragment detected——]
[System type: Law of Merit (Incomplete)]
[Item name: Electronic wooden fish (prototype)]
[Status: To be recognized as owner]
