"A small bet can be entertaining, but a big one can harm you," Su Yao truly didn't dare to gamble with fate.

Su Yao's fair little face had become dirty after the recent commotion, and now, with a frown, she looked even more like a stray cat, pitiful to the extreme.

The system sighed, and a large sigh symbol appeared on the light screen. Binding a host with such bad luck was quite exhausting for the system.

Although the good luck virus was no longer present, the system couldn't completely ignore Su Yao.

The system flipped to the page with the correct answers, copied the answer directly into the dialogue box, and began to trim and edit it. Finally, it compiled it into a single sentence: [This question can be tackled with luck, strong ability, or by choosing to use wisdom. Please read the question several times to find the appropriate flower.]

"Luck," "strength," and "wisdom"—with these three keywords laid out, Su Yao, of course, chose "wisdom" without hesitation!

This riddle is indeed not tongue-twisting; it is about introducing a type of flower. This flower blooms and its leaves flourish in two separate phases. The most crucial and challenging part is determining what kind of flower it is.

Su Yao pondered while observing her surroundings. There were many plants with flowers and leaves she didn't recognize, but unfortunately, no other clues were found on site to narrow down the range of answers for Su Yao.

"Do we really have to rely on luck?" Su Yao scratched her little head. "System, are you really willing to fall here with me?"

Su Yao, when taking multiple-choice tests in school, could often quickly eliminate the two obviously wrong options at a glance, and then, among the remaining two ambiguous choices, accurately guess the wrong answer.

Now it's even better, with no obviously wrong choices, only two options each with a fifty percent chance of being correct.

[...Please guess the common flowers in novels, host.]

It still relies on guesswork, but the system is indeed trying its best to open the back door a bit wider. Su Yao did have a common flower in her heart that Hua Ye didn't want to see.

"Is it the other shore flower?"

Back in middle and high school, the frequency of seeing the flower of the other shore in novels was very high. Out of ten fantasy novels, nine would feature it. Although Su Yao had never seen this flower in real life, she had come to know a bit about it.

"Growing in dark and damp environments, corresponding to the Misty Forest; blooming in late summer and early autumn, now in July and August, it also fits."

Su Yao directly chose the path of "flowers."

The flashlight's beam illuminated the narrow fork in the path, revealing the same rugged stone walls, but the cave grew wider and taller as they went, making it easier to traverse than the initial stretch.

It seems I made the right choice.

After walking a few hundred meters in, a chilling aura rose up, and the further she went, the stronger the cold wind became. At first, Su Yao wrapped her clothes tightly and continued forward, but later it got so cold that she had to put on a down jacket.

[Treasure hunting progress has reached ninety percent, please host pay attention to safety! ! !]

The system appeared again, but this time with three exclamation marks. Su Yao knew that what she was about to face next was anything but ordinary.

Turning a corner, the space expanded significantly.

Su Yao cautiously surveyed her surroundings and found no signs of evil spirits or wild beasts, but she did notice traces of their presence. To be precise, this large hollow should be their room.

Unlike the path just walked, this place was filled with all kinds of stones, branches, and haystacks, revealing order amidst the chaos and a touch of refinement in the roughness. It seemed to be the lair of a malevolent spirit or beast that pursued a "high-quality" life.

Su Yao shone the flashlight from a distance, revealing another large door at the back of the room. This door looked very simple, with no lock or puzzles to solve, just an ordinary stone door.

"Should I go over?"

[Yes, the treasure is just behind the door.]

At the final checkpoint, the system became much more straightforward.

Su Yao, holding her sword, ran to the door. With the help of a running start, she channeled her magical energy and struck the center of the stone door.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

The stone gate instantly began to crack from the center where it received the magical energy, and within seconds, it shattered into a large hole.

At the same time, the blue eerie light behind the stone door reached Su Yao's side, and an unusually large skeleton man also looked at Su Yao.

[Name: Giant Skeleton Man]

[Level: 10]

Treasures naturally need guardians, and the giant skeleton is the most common, most loyal, and most obsessive guardian monster in the Misty Forest. Although its level is excessively high for a level 5 mage, do not be afraid; level is not the only measure of strength. Even a level 10 monster has its weaknesses. Go forth, brave warrior!

"Exchange three more defense cards for me!"

Su Yao screamed in her heart, calling out to the system, then used her sword to block the giant boulder thrown by the massive skeleton.

"Boom——"

The stone door's opening wasn't large enough for the giant skeleton to pass through, so it opened the door.

Su Yao finally understood why this room was so spacious; it was to allow it to move around easily!

The giant skeleton's attacks were very straightforward, consisting mainly of throwing various objects. The stones in the room were sucked into its hands within seconds, then imbued with magical energy and hurled at Su Yao. Su Yao dodged left and right, managing to avoid quite a few stones, but the skeleton replenished its supply too quickly. As long as the stones didn't disappear, they could be used as weapons again the moment they were thrown.

"System, get me a level four storage bag!"

After Su Yao discovered the problem, she immediately changed her strategy and directly had the system bring a storage bag to start collecting stones.

Catching is easier than blocking; the skeleton man threw, and she caught. Soon, all the stones in the room had been thrown in by the skeleton man.

"One must still use wisdom."

Su Yao suddenly said something again. Before the system could understand what it meant, it saw Su Yao start throwing stones from the storage bag at the skeleton.

She absorbed the weapon thrown by the skeleton man with her storage bag, then threw it back!

System: ???

The function of a storage bag is to preserve items. A good storage bag can not only hold things but also act as a refrigerator to freeze items in their best state. The level-four storage bag in Su Yao's hand now is one of those "good storage bags." It can store up to 1000 items and pause the passage of time for them, keeping them in the same condition as when they were put in.

The stone imbued with magical energy was, in essence, still a stone, so it could be put into the storage bag. Coupled with the frozen state of the item... Su Yao had exploited a bug!

The system finally understood why AI could not replace humans. No matter how many times their programs ran or how many times big data was calculated, they would never discover this bug! Who would, in the middle of a battle, pick up the weapons thrown by the enemy and put them away!

Fortunately, it can only store weapons, not pure attacks, which means it can't store pure magical energy. Otherwise, this world would truly be turned upside down!

The skeleton man, like the system, never expected that the cunning humans could come up with such a method! Its skull was too large, making it impossible to jump left and right like Su Yao to dodge these attacks.

A stone for every pit, seeing its own bones about to crack, it quickly pulled out a rib and a scapula. The scapula served as a shield, the rib as a sword, and it began to fend off the stones imbued with its own attacking force.

The giant skeleton was truly enormous, both in height and width, it was three times the size of Su Yao.

But at this moment, the skeleton missing two bones was different. Su Yao watched as its body instantly shrank by half after removing those two bones!

Could it be that its weakness lies in these bones? Will it become weaker if they are removed?

Whether she had truly become weaker, Su Yao had to test it herself.

After downing a potion and attaching a battle spirit activation card, Su Yao threw the last stone at the skeleton man. Taking advantage of the moment it dealt with the stone, she ran towards it.

Magic clashed with magic, the light dazzling.

Three seconds later, Su Yao was thrown out.

However, Su Yao laughed. Looking at the rib in her hand and the slightly shorter skeleton across from her, she laughed.

As long as the method is effective.

All the defense cards were used up, and the potion had started to be rejected by her body. Su Yao finally shattered the skull man's head.

The mandible, occipital bone, parietal bone, and other fragments were scattered all over the ground, with various body bones behind them. The giant skeleton had been completely disassembled, which also meant that Su Yao had achieved a complete victory!

Su Yao arrived at the straw hut of the skeleton man and lay down. She had drunk too much potion; her body had already started to reject it. She would have to wait a while before she could drink more.

The blood was absorbed by the haystack, and as Su Yao lay there, she began to feel drowsy.

[Hold on a little longer, just three more minutes and you can drink the potion! Once you drink the potion, get up and take the water-repelling pearl, and the task will be complete!]

Su Yao pouted, "Don't think that just because you encourage me, I'll forgive you. Why didn't you tell me that drinking too much of the potion at once would cause my body to reject it?!"

[This...] The system found it hard to explain. Should it tell Su Yao that this was actually another bug? It hadn't known about this before today either. Moreover, before this, not even the wealthiest person on this continent had managed to drink over thirty potions in such a short time.

"Why aren't you saying anything? If you're thinking about my reward, then I won't criticize you. If not, your punishment will be doubled!" Su Yao was also afraid of falling asleep, so she consciously started talking more. "Speak up, quickly tell me my reward!"

[Congratulations to the host for finding a bug, reward: Brick Firing Method Manual *1.]

[The host successfully reported a flaw in the basic knowledge distributed to them, rewarded with a fireplace blueprint *1.]

The first rule refers to the storage bag for weapons, while the latter rule specifies that each person can only drink up to thirty bottles of potion at a time.

Unexpectedly, the system was indeed pondering a reward for her. Su Yao's eyes instantly brightened by two degrees.

The manual for brick firing was very detailed, covering every step from start to finish. Su Yao's hot spring station happened to be lacking this.

The blueprint for the fireplace is not as detailed, with only one line: The first step in making it is to need a fireplace frame, which must be manufactured using a mechanical card.

The arrival of winter is still some distance away, but it does not affect the practicality of this item.

Su Yao gave a thumbs up to the system, "Not bad, not bad. I hope the reward for the Water Repelling Pearl task will be just as good!"
