I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

In this fantastical gaming world, the NDS is like a mysterious extraterrestrial object that fell from a distant galaxy—a truly rare and precious item. Behold, that small screen seems to possess magical power, capable of encompassing an incredibly vast world brimming with countless exquisite details.

The children's faces flushed with excitement, their eyes sparkling with curiosity. With the patient help of the enthusiastic shop assistants, they carefully tried out Pokémon Pearl, as if they had entered a magical world. The cute and lively Pokémon captivated them, and the children were completely absorbed, losing track of time.

The parents who were initially somewhat skeptical showed obvious disdain upon seeing the game. One mother stood to the side, arms crossed, eyes slightly narrowed, thinking to herself that it was just a childish electronic gadget, how could it compare to the busyness and fulfillment of real life?

However, after being patiently and warmly persuaded by the shop assistant, she hesitantly tried playing the "Kitchen Mom" ​​game. This trial was a revelation; she was instantly captivated by the game's content, as if under a spell. She had been worried about her lack of skill in ingredient pairing, but this little box felt like her personal kitchen tutor. Although some of the ingredients in the game were different from what she usually encountered, the overall problem-solving approach was the same. Looking at the beautifully arranged dishes in the game, her eyes gradually lit up with excitement. Before her child even asked, she herself didn't hesitate to buy an Nintendo DS.

On the other side, there was a father who did the same. He initially went into the store out of curiosity to try out the Fishing Master DS game. The moment he picked up the console, it was like opening a treasure box full of surprises. He became completely absorbed in the game, as if everything around him had disappeared. As one fish after another was hooked, his face beamed with an increasingly radiant smile, and before he knew it, he was completely hooked on the game.

At this moment, a customer attracted everyone's attention. This customer was an alchemist who had traveled from the alchemical city of Juno on the continent of Elano. He was passionate about traveling to various continents, like a brave and fearless explorer, constantly seeking the mysteries of all things. This time, he happened to come to Elpalan City on the continent of Elpalan and saw this shop, decorated like a dreamlike pavilion, open for business, so he curiously decided to browse around. Unexpectedly, his eyes were immediately drawn to the small NDS box, and he looked as eager as a moth to a flame.

He stood in the demo area, his eyes fixed on the NDS, his mind filled with shock and wonder. He kept muttering to himself, "What kind of magical process was used to create such a precise instrument? There must be extraordinary skill behind it. The person who could create this must be a legendary alchemist. Isn't this the pinnacle of alchemy that I've always been pursuing?"

He clutched the small box tightly, overwhelmed with excitement, and immediately sought out the store manager. The enthusiastic and quick-witted staff member, recognizing the customer's distinguished air, immediately and respectfully led him to the VIP room on the second floor, then swiftly went to fetch the store manager.

Raine's father rushed over and was somewhat puzzled upon seeing this special guest. After a brief exchange with the alchemist, he learned that the alchemist wanted to know who the master craftsman who created the NDS was and hoped that Raine's father could help introduce him so that he could become his apprentice.

This stumped Raine's father. He inwardly groaned, "These goods were given to me by my son. How am I supposed to know who made them?" Raine's father felt a pang of panic, but he tried to remain calm on the surface. He quickly asked the shop assistant to call Wang Xiaoyi over.

Wang Xiaoyi was busy with other matters when he heard that an alchemist was looking for him, which surprised him. Upon meeting the alchemist and hearing his purpose, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. He thought to himself, "Who made this NDS? That's Nintendo! Besides, this thing doesn't even exist in this world. Where am I supposed to find it?"

However, he still had to find an excuse to deal with the enthusiastic alchemist for the time being. After all, the other party was so sincerely eager to learn, and in this helpless yet interesting situation, he could only try his best not to disappoint the other party's expectations.

Wang Xiaoyi silently considered his options. Although he had only a superficial understanding of electronic product manufacturing, the system might be able to help. He thought to himself that as a liberal arts student, he didn't understand the principles of these electronic components at all, and there was no search engine like Baidu available to look it up. However, he decided to try asking the system this question; perhaps it could provide an answer. So, with a glimmer of hope, he asked the system how the NDS was manufactured.

Unexpectedly, the system truly was omnipotent, quickly displaying a massive amount of text. Wang Xiaoyi, like a speaker reading from a teleprompter, began to read aloud the text provided by the system. He read everything from hardware design aspects like processors and chipsets, display technology, memory and storage, to software aspects like operating system development, game development tools, component manufacturing and procurement, assembly and testing. In reality, this content was like gibberish to him; he didn't understand its meaning at all, much like a student having someone else write their thesis for them and simply reading it aloud.

This alchemist, named Silas Shadowsong, was a renowned figure in the Alchemy City. He had already achieved considerable success in his field, but he was not content with mediocrity, his heart burning with a constant yearning for higher attainments. When he heard Wang Xiaoyi use so many obscure terms and encountered these unfamiliar academic concepts, his love of learning ignited like a flame. He firmly desired to become Wang Xiaoyi's apprentice, believing that only in this way could he learn these wondrous knowledge.

Upon hearing the alchemist's request, Wang Xiaoyi was filled with trepidation. He quickly waved his hands, saying that he was young and knew very little, and was simply unfit for such a heavy responsibility. However, the alchemist earnestly pleaded with Wang Xiaoyi to take him as his apprentice. To persuade Wang Xiaoyi to agree, he even offered to become the shop's SVIP customer and produced a large bag of gold coins. This large bag of gold coins startled Renn's father; he hadn't expected the alchemist to be so persistent and so generous.

Looking into the alchemist's sincere eyes, Wang Xiaoyi felt a pang of helplessness. He could only patiently explain to the alchemist that he was truly unfit to be a teacher, but he could share all his knowledge without reservation. Upon hearing this, the alchemist's face lit up. He didn't accept all the gold coins, taking only five. Seeing that the young man wasn't greedy, the alchemist's impression of him improved considerably.

So, during this period, the shop's SVIP room was always bustling with activity. To satisfy the alchemist's intense thirst for knowledge, Wang Xiaoyi had to ask the system questions again and again. Each time he opened the system, he had to close that annoying advertisement first. Although he had gotten used to it, he still felt somewhat annoyed.

Even so, Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but praise the system. He silently pondered to himself that this system was truly unparalleled, extraordinary, omniscient, omnipotent, generous, far-sighted, and meticulously crafted. Although the system sometimes caused him minor troubles, like those dazzling advertisements, overall, it had indeed been a great help. He secretly resolved to rely on this system more often in the future, because in this game world full of unknowns, the system was like his most reliable partner.

However, Wang Xiaoyi was finding these days incredibly difficult. The alchemist's questions were becoming increasingly tricky, coming one after another in rapid succession—this couldn't go on. Ideally, this studious old man would become self-taught, but self-study required textbooks. There was no other way but to place his hopes on this unparalleled, extraordinary, omniscient, generous, far-sighted, painstaking, and all-powerful System Master.

Wang Xiaoyi opened the gratitude point lottery interface again, choosing the normal lottery, silently praying to draw a self-study set. He then started a 10-draw run. With a "ding," the items he drew surprised and delighted him: a copy of *Fundamentals of Electronic Circuits*, a copy of *ARM Embedded Systems Fundamentals Tutorial*, a copy of *C++ Primer*, a copy of *Liquid Crystal Display Technology*, a copy of *Fundamentals of Materials Science*, a set of university physics textbooks, a set of university chemistry textbooks, a can of Zhengshan Xiaozhong liquor, and two electric scooters.

"My goodness, this system is truly omnipotent! It grants every request. The mount set and gift set I wanted before were unlocked for me, and now the self-study set I needed has been provided. It's like a pillow when you're sleepy, juice when you're thirsty, and a lottery prize when you're short on money. It's simply amazing!" Wang Xiaoyi said excitedly. "If this system had a rating system with a maximum score of five stars, I would definitely create 30 alt accounts to give it 30 five-star ratings. This is truly a lifesaver!"

Wang Xiaoyi quickly handed the self-study materials to Silas Shadowsong, telling him to study them on his own first. He instructed Silas to write down any parts he didn't understand and to ask him for help when he went to the mysterious man to pick up the newly made NDS. Actually, Wang Xiaoyi's real thought was that if Silas had to ask him every time he had a problem, he wouldn't be able to get away at all. This way, he could free himself from the hassle and do other things.

Of course, we cannot forget the words of praise. Here, we omit 500 words of praise for the unparalleled, extraordinary, omniscient, generous, visionary, and painstakingly dedicated System Master.

I successfully harvested 2000 gratitude points from the system, spent 1000 points on a lottery and got so many good things, and then got 2000 points back. I traded gloves for a bag and made a killing.

Wang Xiaoyi's mind was like a never-ending creative factory, with all sorts of novel ideas flowing out like a tide. And now, another extremely novel idea had popped into his head. He stood there quietly, his eyes slightly narrowed, his brow furrowed, as if immersed in a wondrous fantasy world. He pondered carefully in his mind: "If we could project the vast, countless pieces of knowledge contained within the system onto a small device, would that be feasible?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt this idea was brimming with infinite possibilities.

He thought, this is like giving this little device a unique and magical ability—the right to freely access the system's treasure trove of knowledge. It feels as convenient and quick as using an electronic dictionary or a reading pen. Imagine, the user simply waves their finger, as if strolling through a magic circle of knowledge; the knowledge they want to view will appear clearly and instantly, as if by magic, allowing them to truly see whatever they want—simple, convenient, and efficient, as if the entire universe of knowledge is contained within a small pocket.

Just as he was immersed in this wonderful idea, he suddenly heard the system's crisp notification sound: "Ding, please draw rare items 2 times." The sound was like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking Wang Xiaoyi's reverie.

Wang Xiaoyi's eyes lit up instantly, like two twinkling stars, full of surprise and anticipation. He thought, "This is promising." So, he excitedly opened the gratitude points lottery interface. The first lottery began; a faint light flashed, and a small slip of paper slowly appeared before his eyes. Wang Xiaoyi reached out and carefully took the slip of paper, but when he looked at it, he only saw a bunch of dazzling gibberish. He frowned, unable to help but guess to himself, "This is probably the system cursing and swearing, haha, expressing its dissatisfaction with me, right?"

However, he quickly began the second draw. A dazzling light flashed, and a small, exquisite device shaped like a magic star appeared in his hand, along with a small slip of paper.

Almost simultaneously, the system notification sounded crisply again: "Ding, you have obtained a self-study reader." Wang Xiaoyi gripped the newly acquired self-study reader tightly, his heart filled with joy. Then he glanced at the contents of the small note, which read in large letters, "Insufficient balance." Well, he couldn't make a wish for the time being.
