Panlong, starting from becoming Lin Lei's golden finger

Just as Lin Lei was deep in thought, a pale blue screen suddenly appeared before him, with words appearing one by one.

"Who?"

Lin Lei suddenly woke up and looked around, but the light blue screen kept following his gaze.

"Countdown complete. Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to the All Things Exchange System!"

This time, the words on the light blue screen remained unchanged; instead, a voice emanated from Lin Lei's mind.

"Are you a great magician?"

Lin Lei had calmed down by this time.

The ability to silently unfold mysterious information before one's eyes, and even speak in one's mind, is clearly something a child like oneself cannot resist.

"Not bad character." The voice in Lin Lei's mind rang out again, with a hint of admiration in its tone. "Don't worry, I won't harm you. From now on, my fate is tied to yours."

Deep within Lin Lei's unfathomable soul, Lin Ke sat on the sofa, Lin Lei's slightly tense face appearing on the television screen in front of him.

"My fate is tied to mine?" Linley asked, puzzled. "Respected magician, could you please enlighten me?"

Although he was not yet nine years old, Linley had received Hogg's aristocratic etiquette training since childhood. Even if Lin Ke did not understand, he could see Linley's respectful attitude through his meticulous manners.

"I'm not a magician." Lin Ke looked at Lin Lei, scratched his head, and finally made a decision. "My name is Lin Ke, you can call me Brother Lin."

"Brother Lin?" Lin Lei looked somewhat disappointed. "Are you really not a magician?"

"I'm not a magician." Seeing Lin Lei's disappointed look, Lin Ke couldn't help but smile. "But I can make you a magician."

"Make me a magician?" Linley clenched his fists involuntarily. "Brother Lin, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true." Lin Ke's lips curled up slightly. "However, I hope you've thought it through. Our relationship is one of cooperation, but I will be in charge of the cooperation."

Lin Ke paused for a moment before continuing, "I can create any substance you can imagine, or even anything you can't, but that requires you to complete the mission. So, Lin Lei, what is your choice?"

In fact, Lin Ke had considered deceiving Lin Lei.

Lin Lei is not yet nine years old, far from being the future ruler of Purgatory who will dominate the Panlong Universe, nor is he a main god.

Given Lin Ke's understanding of the Panlong Universe, he only needs to reveal a little bit of information to deceive Lin Lei.

But Lin Ke still chose to give up on the idea.

There's no other reason than that Lin Ke is already bound to Lin Lei at this point, unless he accumulates enough energy in the future to completely break free from the system and Lin Lei.

Otherwise, if a rift develops between Lin Ke and Lin Lei due to deception, it will be very disadvantageous for Lin Ke.

Furthermore, Lin Lei's surname is neither Tang nor Fang, so Lin Ke is quite confident in Lin Lei's character.

Lin Lei was ruthless towards his enemies, but he was uncompromising towards his family and friends.

Lin Ke hopes that he can work closely with Lin Lei in the future.

Of course, all of this is predicated on Lin Ke taking the lead.

"Brother Lin Ke." Lin Lei took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone from getting too agitated, "I promise you, as long as you can make me stronger, as long as it doesn't threaten my family, I will do my best."

Lin Lei's answer was not unexpected by Lin Ke.

Having witnessed the power of magicians firsthand, Linley now has high expectations for the path to becoming a strongman.

After Lin Lei finished speaking, Lin Ke did not speak immediately, but instead stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

"The system's energy source depends on the host's influence and changes to the current world, and Lin Lei is a person with an uncertain fate. Shouldn't his influence be even greater for the entire Panlong Universe?"

Thinking of this, Lin Ke smiled, and the next moment, a system notification appeared in front of Lin Lei.

[Quest: Blood Oath to the Dragon Ring]

[Mission Reward: 10 White Energy Points]

[Note: Energy points are the system's universal currency. They can be used to exchange for all items within the system. Higher-level energy points can be exchanged for lower-level energy points, but lower-level energy points cannot be exchanged for higher-level energy points.]

"A Dragon-Shaped Ring that Recognizes a Master?" The information that appeared before him made Lin Lei stare blankly at the ring hanging around his neck. "Brother Lin, do you mean this Dragon-Shaped Ring is like the ones in knightly novels, a divine artifact that can recognize a master?"

"A divine artifact?" Lin Ke scoffed. "Little Lin Lei, your Panlong Ring is more than just a divine artifact. Of course, to explore its secrets, you must first become a god."

"Become a god?" Linley, who was not yet nine years old, was somewhat confused. "Is it like the Lord that the Holy See promotes?"

"It's hard for me to explain this to you right now," Lin Ke interrupted Lin Lei's question. "Right now, don't be too ambitious. Completing the mission and improving your strength is the most important thing."

Lin Ke's words made Lin Lei nod, looking at the ring hanging around his neck, and then at his own fingers.

A ruthless glint flashed in Lin Lei's eyes as he put his finger in his mouth.

"Ah~"

Lin Lei let out a scream, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Lei, who was in the process of losing his baby teeth, did not bite his finger, but instead broke a front tooth.

"Click~"

Inside the mysterious space, Lin Ke looked at the freshly taken photos in his hand with a broad smile.

"This is the dark history of Lin Meng, the future controller of HarmonyOS!"

Lin Ke waved with a smile, and a photo album appeared, framing the photos.

"Linley, don't waste it. It's blood anyway, just let it become your master."

Lin Ke reminded him, and Lin Lei, with a bitter face, carefully put away the tooth he had lost, then smeared a little blood from the corner of his mouth onto the Panlong Ring.

The blood fell onto the dragon ring and disappeared quickly, as if it had fallen into a sponge.

"Brother Lin Ke, why isn't he responding?"

Just as Lin Lei was asking a question in confusion, a system notification flashed in front of him.

Congratulations on completing the mission! Energy Points +10

[First time obtaining energy points, the system shop is unlocked]

The voice sounded in Lin Lei's mind again, but unlike Lin Ke's voice before, this voice was an electronic voice devoid of any emotion.

Inside the system space, Lin Ke looked at the 1000 energy points stored in the system, and a grin spread from his lips to his ears.

"As expected of the chosen one of the world!" Lin Ke exclaimed, looking at his energy balance. "I thought it would only be a couple hundred points, but it's actually a thousand. But that's perfect. I'll take 990 points, and Lin Lei will take 10 points. It's fair."

Lin Ke smiled and looked at the smart speaker next to him.

That's the one that just replaced Lin Ke in broadcasting.

Lin Ke decided that from now on, he would let the smart speaker do all these kinds of announcements for him.

Since it doesn't need to leave the system space, this smart speaker doesn't consume any energy points.

Just as Lin Ke was pondering his next move, Lin Lei spoke up: "Brother Lin, what's the use of these energy points?"

"Don't rush." ​​Lin Ke's lips curled up slightly. "Right now, the most important thing for you is to improve your strength. You can take a look at the shop first, and also meet with your teacher."
