Miler, who has a system for giving up

I was extremely anxious, so I rushed forward like an arrow released from a bow, using all my strength to unleash the power of the Divine Pearl on the octopus like a storm.

However, the octopus's shell was as hard as an iron fortress, and my attack was like an ant trying to shake a tree, with little effect.

Suddenly, Shebila let out a deafening roar, and its body burst forth with dazzling light, just like a rising sun breaking free from some of its restraints.

It used that strange and mysterious energy to shroud the octopus's movements like a net.

Ah Heng also seized the opportunity, taking the chance to unleash the power of the Creator, and with a swift stroke, severed several tentacles as thick as giant pythons.

On a sudden impulse, I channeled the captured Little Fu Culture into a surge of special energy, like a flood bursting its banks, and injected it into the octopus's body, disrupting its internal systems.

The octopus began to panic, and we seized the opportunity to swarm it, working together to beat it to pieces and successfully rescue each other.

At this moment, we were surprised to find that these small runes, like a disturbed swarm of bees, were stirring and gathering power, preparing to unleash an even more powerful attack, like a raging storm.

We dared not relax for a moment, quickly adjusted our state, and were on high alert as if facing a formidable enemy. We were determined to completely shatter the conspiracy of the runes in this world full of steampunk elements and leave the evil forces nowhere to hide.

The small runes merged together rapidly like shooting stars, forming a huge rune monster.

It let out a deafening roar, like a thunderbolt, releasing powerful energy fluctuations, causing the surrounding mechanical buildings to collapse like dominoes.

Ah Heng, Xue Bila, and I stood back to back, our eyes as firm as a rock.

I took a deep breath and raised the power of the Divine Pearl to its peak. Aheng also went all out to activate the power of the Creator, while Shebila continuously released strange energy to interfere with the monster.

The monster charged forward like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, its enormous claws slamming down like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

We moved nimbly, dodging like rabbits, while launching a fierce counterattack.

Aheng's attack was like a sharp sword, tearing through the monster's rock-solid defenses. I seized the opportunity to transform the power of the Divine Orb into an indestructible blade, piercing it like lightning.

Like a highly skilled hunter, Shebila used energy to weave an impenetrable net, tightly binding the monster's movements.

After a thrilling and intense battle, the monster's power gradually receded like a receding tide.

We acted swiftly and decisively, and the three of us joined forces to unleash a devastating attack. The rune monster collapsed like a clay chicken or a broken tile, turning into countless sparkling lights that vanished like fireworks.

We have finally succeeded in eliminating the rune threat in this steampunk world.

Then, without the slightest delay, we boarded the shuttle boat as quickly as birds and headed to the next time and space node to meet the new challenges that came rushing in like a storm.

The shuttle boat, which sped like an arrow, raced through the river of time and space like a whirlwind, but suddenly began to shake violently like a leaf in a storm, as if it might be torn apart by this powerful force at any moment.

The piercing alarm sounded like thunder and crashing waves, echoing throughout the entire space, indicating that the spacetime ahead was in a chaotic mess, as if a mysterious and powerful demon was stirring up trouble in the dark.

"Oh no, this situation is a hundred times more troublesome than the ones we've encountered before!" I shouted anxiously, my voice hoarse.

Like an ant on a hot pan, Ah Heng frantically operated the shuttle's system, trying to tame its unruly course, but all his efforts were in vain.

Shebila, as if facing a formidable enemy, let out a deep and awe-inspiring roar like a lion, its body shimmering with light like the most dazzling star in the night sky, seemingly trying its best to sense the source of the ghostly danger.

Just then, a massive black vortex, resembling a bottomless black hole, appeared in front of them like a colossal creature. Within the vortex, countless snake-like twisted runes flickered, seemingly having intricate connections with the previously complex runes.

"Could this be the ultimate conspiracy of the runes?" Shebila screamed in terror.

We didn't have time to think deeply. The shuttle was like a piece of iron attracted by a magnet, tightly pulled by the powerful suction of the vortex, which was like a black hole in the universe, and rapidly approached like a shooting star chasing the moon.

I gripped the Divine Pearl tightly, as if it were my last lifeline in this life-or-death situation, ready to make a desperate gamble at this critical moment.

Ah Heng and Xue Bila were also on high alert, as if facing an abyss or walking on thin ice. An unprecedented life-or-death struggle was about to begin. Could we once again escape from this unknown crisis that seemed like a bottomless abyss and continue to move forward? Everything was as mysterious and unpredictable as a fog.

The shuttle boat trembled violently, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it would be mercilessly swallowed up by the hideous vortex at any moment.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling light burst forth from Shebira's body, like an incomparably brilliant star. It exerted all its strength to release an energy shield as solid as a rock, temporarily resisting the terrifying suction force of the vortex.

Ah Heng and I dared not relax for a moment, and were completely focused. I continuously poured the power of the Divine Pearl into the engine of the shuttle boat, nourishing its power like a gentle stream; Ah Heng, on the other hand, readjusted the course as if facing a formidable enemy, trying to break free from the whirlpool's iron grip.

However, the force of the vortex was like Mount Tai crushing an egg, and our efforts were like an ant trying to shake a tree.

Just as the shuttle was about to be swept into the bottomless abyss of the whirlpool, the residual light left over from the destruction of the rune monsters suddenly converged like rivers flowing into the sea, forming a mysterious and unpredictable rune shield, like an indestructible fortress, tightly enveloping the shuttle.

This mysterious force was surprisingly equal to the suction of the vortex, holding its own and allowing the shuttle to temporarily stabilize itself amidst the raging waves.

We were overjoyed and seized the opportunity to intensify our efforts, like rain after a long drought.

I guided the Divine Pearl to resonate with the mysterious shield, like a harmonious meeting of kindred spirits, working together flawlessly; Ah Heng seized the opportunity, maneuvering the shuttle boat to accelerate like an arrow released from a bow.

With the concerted efforts of the three parties, the shuttle, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, broke free from the vortex and sped towards a new point in time and space.

The vortex behind us dissipated slowly like wisps of smoke, as if it were just a dream.

We felt a great sense of relief, and then looked forward to the next unknown challenge with great anticipation.

The shuttle boat sailed smoothly through the waves of time and space for a while; however, beneath the calm surface lay turbulent undercurrents.

Suddenly, a group of strangely shaped mechanical creatures appeared ahead. They looked like evil spirits from the underworld, emanating a cold blue light, and pounced on us like ghosts, baring their fangs and claws.

These mechanical creatures moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the shuttle like hungry wolves.

Without hesitation, I gripped the Divine Pearl tightly, as if it were a dragon-slaying sword capable of vanquishing demons and monsters, ready to plunge into battle once more.

Aheng quickly activated the shuttle's defense system, as if putting an indestructible armor on the shuttle. Shebila also let out a deafening battle roar, and the light on its body shone like a dazzling star.

The mechanical creatures launched a fierce offensive, with beams of laser light streaking across the sky like meteors, carrying a deadly threat as they hurtled towards us.

Shebila resisted stubbornly with her energy shield, while I, like a magician, manipulated the Divine Orb to launch a thunderous counterattack. Ah Heng, on the other hand, was like a keen hunter, carefully searching for the mechanical creature's weaknesses.

The battle raged on, and the shuttle's defense system emitted piercing alarms, like the roar of demons or the death knell of doomsday, as if telling us that danger was surging in like a tidal wave.

Just when we were feeling powerless and like a candle flickering in the wind, the mysterious rune shield appeared like a savior from heaven, once again demonstrating its miraculous power, deflecting the mechanical creatures' attacks as if they were his own treasures, leaving them dizzy, disoriented, and running around like headless flies.

We pounced on the mechanical creatures like hungry tigers, launching a full-scale attack like a raging storm, leaving them routed and in a sorry state.

Ultimately, they vanished like spineless mud, like soulless walking corpses, turning into a lifeless pile of scrap metal, disappearing into the endless abyss of time and space.

We breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and continued to stride forward with our heads held high, bravely advancing towards the next point in time and space.

No one can predict what thrilling and perilous challenges await us ahead, like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, its jaws agape, watching us intently.

Just as we were overjoyed, thinking we could successfully reach the next time node, the shuttle's energy alarm suddenly sounded as urgently as if a pig was being slaughtered.

It turns out that the thrilling battle with the mechanical creature was like a violent storm, consuming a large amount of energy. The remaining energy was like a candle flickering in the wind, barely enough to support us to reach our destination.

Ah Heng frantically operated the system like an ant on a hot pan, trying to find a solution to the problem, but the situation remained as heavy as Mount Tai, making it impossible to be optimistic.

At this critical moment, Shebila, like a keen hunting dog, sensed an energy source nearby.

We eagerly followed its guidance and discovered an abandoned energy station.

However, this energy station was like a trap full of thorns. Not only were there many traps and mechanisms inside, but there were also remnants of mechanical guards who were watching like hungry wolves.

We proceeded cautiously, as if walking on thin ice. I was like a warrior wielding a divine sword, using the magic orb to break through traps and obstacles. Aheng skillfully avoided danger like a cunning rabbit, while Xuebila was like a valiant warrior, responsible for clearing out the mechanical guards.

After overcoming numerous hardships, we finally found an oasis, like travelers in the desert, and successfully replenished the shuttle's energy.

After restarting, the shuttle boat once again sailed smoothly through time and space like a giant ship braving the wind and waves.

But we all know that there are many more unknown challenges ahead, like a fog, waiting for us. However, we are already like warriors on high alert, ready to fight side by side and uncover the secrets hidden behind this mysterious space-time.

Just when we thought we could reach the next time node smoothly, the shuttle's dashboard suddenly flashed a strange red light and emitted a sharp alarm.

Immediately afterwards, the entire shuttle boat shook violently as if struck by lightning, as if being manipulated at will by an invisible giant hand.

Ah Heng cried out in panic, "Oh no! A spacetime turbulence has appeared!"

Outside the window, terrifying temporal turbulence, like a surging black vortex, madly distorted everything around it.

The shuttle boat teetered precariously in the turbulent waters, in danger of being torn to pieces at any moment.

I gripped the Divine Pearl tightly, trying to use its power to stabilize the shuttle, but the turbulence was too strong, and my efforts had little effect.

Just when we were in despair, Shebila suddenly roared, and the light on her body suddenly surged.

It fused its strange energy with the power of the divine pearl to form a powerful shield that barely withstood the impact of the turbulent currents.

At this critical moment, Ah Heng calmed down and, relying on his superb skills, searched for a glimmer of hope in the turbulent waters.

Finally, he found a relatively stable passage, and we used all our strength to steer the shuttle boat into it.

As the shuttle sped away like lightning, breaking free from the constraints of the turbulent flow of time and space, we breathed a long sigh of relief.

After discussing it with Ah Heng, we suddenly realized that we had been working non-stop lately, so busy that even time to go back and rest was as rare as a precious commodity.

We returned to the realm of the gods for a short rest.

During this brief respite, I was surprised to find that the adorable little guy was appearing less and less frequently, like the morning star.

Every time I call her, her response is always slow and deliberate, her voice so faint that it sounds like a mosquito whispering in my ear, or like a candle flickering in the wind, about to fall.

I was extremely worried, like an ant on a hot pan, wondering what was wrong with her.

Finally, one day, she confided to me like a shy flower: "Master, it seems I am about to advance. This process may be like a long night, lasting for some time, and I will fall into a deep sleep before the advancement is complete."

Upon hearing this news, a ripple of disappointment stirred within me, like a pebble being thrown into a calm lake.

At the same time, I am also happy for her, after all, advancing means that she will rise from the ashes like a phoenix, becoming stronger.

However, just now, her voice suddenly rang in my ears like a nightingale's song, catching me completely off guard.

"Master, I'm going to upgrade now, and the shop will slowly close like the setting sun. But don't worry, you can still freely enter and exit the herb field space as you would a free bird."
