The exchange space was empty, with only two platforms, one on the left and one on the right, standing on either side.

  Walking up to the smaller platform, Chen Yue placed his badge on it. As soon as the two made contact, a small hole suddenly opened up on the platform, just the right size to swallow the apostle badge.

  Seeing this scene, Chen Yue wasn't panicked. After the badge disappeared, a ring of light immediately lit up under Chen Yue's feet. It slowly rose, and after passing over Chen Yue's head, it burst into countless light spots and disappeared.

  An icy voice rang out.

  "Identity verification completed."

  This mechanical voice wasn't the first time Chen Yue had heard it. He had heard it when signing the life-and-death contract half a year ago. Chen Yue knew that it was the intelligent system of the Apostle Association, which maintained and controlled the operation of the huge association.

  Only the internal exchange system needed to use it. If it was the external exchange system, it was purely manual service. People outside the apostles didn't even know the existence of the intelligent system.

  The process just now was identity verification. If the verified information didn't match that on the badge, the person would be ejected from the exchange space and a warning would be sent to the deacon in charge.

  After passing the verification, lines of text appeared on the platform.

  Looking at these flamboyant words from another world, Chen Yue was dumbfounded.

  He couldn't understand them...

  He had calculated everything but had overlooked this problem. The particularity of the exchange space meant that Chen Yue couldn't bring anyone else in. If he couldn't solve the problem of the text, then he wouldn't be able to exchange for any items at all.

  "It seems I really need to spend some time learning the words of this other world," Chen Yue had a bit of a headache. In the past year, he had been running around all the time, and there was no free time to stop and study.

  Reluctantly, Chen Yue had to turn to Meteorite Crystal for help.

  "This is the intelligent system of our civilization. However, after being modified by outsiders, it has become a mess,"

  After coming out of the subspace, before Chen Yue could say anything, Meteorite Crystal, as if seeing a beloved toy, directly used the True Vision Pupil to observe it. After a while, it came to such a conclusion.

  Meteorite Crystal was originally an intelligent life form. Besides the True Vision Pupil, it also had powerful computing and control abilities, quite similar to an intelligent system. In a sense, it was a highly intelligent and life-like intelligent system.

  Somewhat distressed, Meteorite Crystal scratched its pretty face with its little finger and pouted, complaining, "Why do you people always have to modify the things passed down from our civilization? You have to add all kinds of messy things, and as a result, you've destroyed the original integrity. Really, the sealing array was like this, and now even the intelligent system is the same."

  "That's because there was no way to interpret it, so we had to do this," Chen Yue explained briefly and then brought up his own problem.

  "Can't read the words," the little guy's eyes rolled around, and its gaze towards Chen Yue was a bit strange. But soon it became interested and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

  Tens of millions of years had passed from the Garnino civilization to the present, and the popular writing on the continent had changed again and again. Meteorite Crystal didn't recognize the words that appeared on the platform at all, but this didn't stump it.

  After activating the True Vision Pupil, the little guy took advantage of the loopholes and invaded the intelligent system, seizing part of the control. With its abilities, dealing with this flawed intelligent system was extremely easy for it, and it wouldn't be discovered at all.

  After searching in the database, Meteorite Crystal listed out hundreds of kinds of writing one by one and then asked Chen Yue to identify them to see if there were any familiar words.

  However, its efforts were doomed to failure.

  Watching the words emerging on the platform change from being somewhat elegant at first to becoming weirder and weirder, less and less like human writing, and finally even showing something that was purely a series of beast footprints, Chen Yue couldn't bear it anymore.

  "What on earth are these things?"

  "Oh, wait, let me look. This is the writing created by a certain ethnic group that lived with beasts all day long a million years ago..." As it said this, beads of sweat appeared on Meteorite Crystal's face. Obviously, no matter what, it was impossible for Chen Yue to recognize this kind of writing.

  "I'm out of ideas," with a shrug of its small hands, the little guy, who had run out of tricks, was ready to play tricks.

  The voice function of the modified intelligent system had been severely damaged. At least, the exchange space didn't have this service. No matter how powerful Meteorite Crystal was, it was helpless without the necessary conditions.

  After pondering for a moment, Chen Yue asked, "Can you see the memories in my mind?"

  This question wasn't asked randomly. Just think about it. Since it could communicate with familiars, it should have a similar ability.

  Meteorite Crystal was stunned. It didn't answer Chen Yue's question immediately but started circling in the air. After a while, it stopped and looked straight at Chen Yue, "How did you know that the True Vision Pupil can see memories? Did Sister Bing tell you?"

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Before Chen Yue could answer, it continued, "It can see them, but it's easy to be discovered. If the person has a stronger will, it will be even more difficult."

  The True Vision Pupil wasn't omnipotent, and what Meteorite Crystal said was reasonable.

  "If it's selective and you actively open up to me, then there should be no problem. But are you really sure?" Meteorite Crystal asked with some concerns.

  "Yes."

  If the True Vision Pupil could search all memories without any obstacles, Chen Yue really wouldn't dare to try it. At this time, he naturally had no concerns.

  It was Meteorite Crystal who was hesitant. After thinking it over, it finally agreed. However, looking at its tense little face, it seemed as if it was about to be taken to the execution ground.

  "Remember, don't think about messy things," before starting, the little guy solemnly warned.

  After Meteorite Crystal's big eyes gradually turned red, Chen Yue began to imagine in his mind. This process was actually quite simple. He just kept recalling some words. Through the True Vision Pupil and its computing ability, Meteorite Crystal could copy them and understand them.

  Chinese characters emerged one by one in his mind. At first, the speed was slow, but with Meteorite Crystal's super computing ability, it quickly understood the meanings of most of the single characters. Chen Yue's speed of imagination also increased. What he recalled was no longer limited to single characters, but phrases, idioms, poems, and even long sentences kept popping up.

  In this world, Chen Yue was undoubtedly lonely. The words from his previous life could only be understood by himself, and there was no way to share them with others. At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of freedom.

  "By riverside are cooing, a pair of turtledoves. A good young man is wooing, a fair maiden he loves." In a moment of inspiration, this famous line from ancient times flashed through his mind, and a feeling of admiration spontaneously arose in his heart.

  A blush suddenly spread across Meteorite Crystal's beautiful face, making her look even more charming.

  "Hmm?" Chen Yue was suddenly startled. He keenly sensed the change in Meteorite Crystal.

  After the feeling of admiration in his heart disappeared, Meteorite Crystal immediately returned to normal.

  "Could it be?" With a flash of thought, Chen Yue thought of a possibility. A solemn and stirring line of poetry flashed through his mind, and at the same time, he stared closely at Meteorite Crystal.

  Sure enough, a solemn and stirring look appeared on her face.

  "Sure enough, it's mental pollution," seeing this scene, Chen Yue finally understood. At this moment, Meteorite Crystal had no defenses against him and could truly reflect the changes in his emotions. No wonder she was so hesitant and had repeatedly warned Chen Yue not to think randomly before starting. She was afraid of being branded with others' emotions in her mind, that is, mental pollution.

  It could be said that this was the best opportunity to control Meteorite Crystal.

  However, after thinking for a while, Chen Yue finally chose to give up. Since Meteorite Crystal was willing to trust him without reservation, Chen Yue couldn't do something like stabbing her in the back.

  His struggle didn't open up to Meteorite Crystal, so the little guy was still absorbing the words in Chen Yue's mind without knowing anything.

  Although he gave up the intention of control, Chen Yue didn't mind doing something else. While recalling the words, he also passed on his kindness and sincerity to Meteorite Crystal without reservation. These feelings were all sincere and without any falsehood, so the little guy accepted them without any resistance.

  After an unknown amount of time, after the last string of words disappeared, the two finally stopped. Basically, at this time, Meteorite Crystal had no problem with translation.

  Shaking its little head, Meteorite Crystal gave Chen Yue a strange look.

  "I don't know why, but I suddenly find you much more pleasing to the eye."

  Chen Yue felt a bit dizzy and almost fainted from anger. Did that mean she didn't like him before?

  With a grin, Meteorite Crystal clapped its small hands. In the next moment, the words on the platform immediately turned into familiar Chinese characters.

  "Chen Yue, these words are so beautiful. I never thought there could be such a nearly perfect way of expression. I really didn't expect that you knew such a language," Meteorite Crystal said.

  Chen Yue smiled, suppressing his somewhat turbulent mood, and began to look at the words on the platform.

  What was presented in front of Chen Yue at this time was an exchange system. If Chen Yue took a fancy to a certain prop and had enough points, he could exchange it out. The exchanged props would appear on the other larger platform.

  After looking through it for a while, Chen Yue found that this exchange system was surprisingly simple. There were only some props, and none of the ones that Vinia had shown before were there. He immediately understood that this was the exchange system for ordinary apostles. Unless he became a disciple, he wouldn't be able to exchange for really good things at all.

  "Meteorite Crystal, can you get me a more advanced exchange system?" Chen Yue looked at Meteorite Crystal expectantly. This exchange system was of very limited help to him.

  After thinking for a moment, Meteorite Crystal smiled and said, "No problem."

  Closing its eyes, soon, the little guy smiled and said, "Okay."

  As soon as the words fell, another ring of light rose from under Chen Yue's feet. After scanning Chen Yue's whole body.

  A cold yet somewhat flattering voice rang out.

  "Welcome, respected Lord Piaro."

  At the same time, a flash of light appeared on the platform, and a very detailed exchange system was presented in front of Chen Yue. This was the highest-level exchange system that deacons could see. It not only had all kinds of powerful props but also included various books, technologies, materials, and even artworks. Its richness far exceeded that of ordinary apostles.

  "This guy is really abnormal," when he first heard the somewhat flattering mechanical voice, Chen Yue shuddered. He naturally knew that this should be the welcome message set by Piaro according to his authority.

  "Chen Yue, you can take a look at this exchange system. However, for the disciple level, you can exchange at most three items, and for the deacon level, you can exchange at most one item. Otherwise, it will be exposed," Meteorite Crystal reminded. "Of course, it's best not to exchange for items at the deacon level."

  Nodding knowingly, Chen Yue understood that this was already Meteorite Crystal's limit and didn't ask for too much. For him, the most important thing was to understand the uses and abilities of these props. Whether he could exchange them or not wasn't that important. Besides, with his more than 2,000 points, it was far from enough to exchange for high-level items.

  This took a long time.

  When Chen Yue came out of the exchange space, it was already very late. After a short rest, the day to go to the Trial Ground arrived as scheduled.
