I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

"Since you can come in so easily, you shouldn't have any major problems getting out." Sensing Bao Si's anxiety, Chen Yuze chuckled and reassured her.

"In short, just wait for me here for a while. I'll go and see what this forbidden thing that Elder Que mentioned is all about. If I haven't contacted you after an hour, then you can try to break in by force."

286. Small island in the lake

After ending the communication with the girls and putting the array plate back into his storage space, Chen Yuze continued up the path leading to the mountain peak.

Like the Evergreen Mountain outside the restricted area, the road leading to the summit was also covered with thick snow.

However, this snow did not come from the recent heavy snowfall that lasted for several days; it was already there before.

This can be seen from the fact that the area inside the restricted area was completely unaffected by the falling snow.

He continuously used his spiritual power to sweep away the snow on the mountain path, leisurely climbing the steps that had stood for countless years.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Yuze successfully reached the top of Changqing Mountain.

Through the swirling clouds and mist, one can see a crystal-clear lake.

In the center of the lake is a small island, roughly the same size as the Chen family's courtyard.

But what surprised Chen Yuze the most was the small wooden house located on the island in the lake.

This little wooden house, in both appearance and structure, is exactly the same as the wooden house where Chen Yuze was when he first transmigrated to this world!

"System, do you know what's going on?"

Instead of rushing to the island in the lake, Chen Yuze tried to activate the system in his mind.

Unfortunately, the system did not respond to Chen Yuze's call.

Just like its owner, it's addicted to just letting things fall apart.

"He always plays dead at crucial moments. I shouldn't have relied on this barrier-breaking system."

Rubbing his temples and letting out a heavy sigh, Chen Yuze decided to go check out the small island in the lake first.

So, a peach wood flying sword quickly swept across the lake water surrounding the small island.

Looking up and down at the small wooden house that was exactly the same as he remembered, Chen Yuze's mind gradually recalled the three years he lived alone before meeting Daji.

To be honest, this memory isn't very pleasant.

After all, humans have social needs, especially young people like Chen Yuze. Even if he has no worries about food and clothing, living alone in this remote mountain forest will inevitably make him feel lonely.

If Chen Yuze hadn't later awakened the system and met the adorable little fox Daji, he probably would have driven himself crazy sooner or later.

"Perhaps this is what they mean by 'Heaven will entrust great responsibilities to those who are destined for them, and will first test their minds and bodies.'"

Chen Yuze chuckled self-deprecatingly, then reached out his hand.

I pushed the wooden door.

The door wasn't locked; it creaked as it was gently pushed.

Although no one lives there, the house is spotless.

Apart from a bed, a table, and a small row of wooden bookshelves, there were no other items in the room.

"Speaking of which, I found that book, 'The Record of Benevolence in Mountains and Seas,' on the bookshelf back then."

His gaze swept over the empty bed and tabletop, and Chen Yuze quickly walked to the small row of wooden bookshelves.

Just as Chen Yuze had expected, there were indeed quite a few books on the bookshelves.

Chen Yuze intended to pick up a book and flip through it casually, but after seeing the cover, he was immediately stunned.

"The Energetic Nine-Tailed Fox Maid?"

With a twitch of his eyelids, Chen Yuze casually placed the tattered book on the empty table, and then pulled out several more books from the bookshelf.

Without exception, the book titles were all quite unconventional.

"The Dragon Has Nine Sons, and I Was the One Who Did It All"

"If you're bold enough, even the Snake King can take maternity leave."

Scorpion Lai Lai's Big Lai Lai

A Tree Hole Full of Juice

The Exquisite Feet of the Three-Legged Golden Crow

The Golden-Winged Roc Battles the Thick-Spitting Black Poisonous Insect

My Gourd-Shaped Chamber Pot

Postpartum care in female hominids

"What the hell is all this?!"

Looking at the entire bookcase filled with books about Emperor Zhaolie of Han, Chen Yuze almost fainted from anger.

Why didn't he travel to this wooden house back then?

With so many great things to offer, he shouldn't have had such a miserable three years!

So, in order to prevent these tattered books from spreading and harming others, Chen Yuze put them all into his storage space in one go.

Don't even mention that he already has so many girls around him, why would he still be looking at these things?

Damn it, what kind of man doesn't look at his marriage certificate after getting married?

However, just after Chen Yuze had put all these things away, he found an extremely worn-out booklet on the middle bookshelf.

The booklet's cover was blank, and it was about the thickness of an ordinary diary.

However, just as Chen Yuze reached out and picked it up from the brocade box, the system that had been pretending to be dead suddenly became active.

[Ding! Materials necessary for system upgrade have been detected. Would you like to absorb them immediately?]

"Hmm? Now you're getting anxious?"

Instead of immediately replying to the system, Chen Yuze made a sarcastic remark before turning his attention back to the booklet.

He wanted to see what kind of book could make the system consider it an essential material for system upgrades.

then……

"The Ultimate Veterinary System: Fully Automated Upgrade Manual"?

Looking at what was written on the first page, Chen Yuze felt as if he had been punched in the head.

In other words, isn't the title a bit too straightforward?

At the same time, the system's voice echoed in Chen Yuze's mind once again.

[Ding! Materials necessary for system upgrade have been detected. Would you like to absorb them immediately?]

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush!"

You usually ignore me, but today I'll make you regret it!

Ignoring the system's inquiry, Chen Yuze continued to flip through the "Fully Automatic Upgrade Manual of the Strongest Veterinary System in the Mountains and Seas" in his hand.

But just as Chen Yuze turned to the first page, the "Fully Automatic Upgrade Manual for the Strongest Veterinarian System in the Mountains and Seas" suddenly turned into specks of light and slowly merged into his body.

[Ding! Successfully absorbed the "Fully Automatic Upgrade Manual for the Strongest Veterinarian System in the Classic of Mountains and Seas". This system will automatically update soon. The update is expected to take thirty-six hours. During the update, all functions that require Benevolence Points will be suspended, and healing monsters will not yield Benevolence Point rewards.]

"What? Did I agree to let you absorb this thing?! You damn system, how dare you absorb the treasure I found without my permission?!"

"And I clearly saw a percentage and a decimal point just now. I advise you to confess immediately. Was that the SSR drop rate? You damn system, if I find out you secretly changed the drop mechanism and drop rate, I'll definitely make you pay!"

[Ding! This system will begin automatic updates in ten seconds. Please wait patiently.]

"Damn system! You dare steal my treasure? You dare confront me face-to-face! Using automatic updates to evade the issue, what kind of man are you?"

[Ding! Due to the lengthy system update, the following will be provided to the host upon completion.]

Compensation will be provided through the Benevolent Points system.

"System, don't worry about updating. You and I, Chen Yuze, are brothers for life! If anyone dares to say a bad word about you, I, Chen Yuze, will be the first to fight them!"

287. Ten thousand poisonous purple blood spiders

After Chen Yuze's body completely absorbed the "Fully Automatic Upgrade Manual for the Strongest Veterinarian System in the Mountains and Seas," the small wooden house where Chen Yuze was located turned into countless tiny points of light like fireflies and disappeared into the air.

At the same time, the barrier surrounding the mountaintop gradually disintegrated, transforming into natural spiritual energy that flowed back into the air of Changqing Mountain.

"So, the so-called forbidden item that Elder Que mentioned is actually an essential material for system upgrades?"

Stepping on the peach wood flying sword, memories

Seeing the way Old Sparrow had been making alarmist remarks in the Chen family courtyard, Chen Yuze's expression became strange.

However, it's not entirely Mr. Que's fault.

After all, these legends about forbidden objects were passed down orally from the elders of their clan.

By the time it came to the older generation, the legend had become more embellished with artistic license, which is not surprising.

However, just as Chen Yuze was about to fly away from the mountaintop on his sword, the lake behind him suddenly began to surge.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.

Before Chen Yuze could react, the dark figure burst out of the water and smashed the small island in the lake where the system upgrade components had been stored to pieces.

Startled, Chen Yuze turned his head and immediately noticed eight dark red eyes, each as big as a small car, staring intently at him.

"What is this again?" Feeling the intense obsession in that gaze, Chen Yuze almost instinctively shivered.

You have to understand, Chen Yuze is a man who has seen the world.

After all, his own family included two empresses and a dragon king. Moreover, even the Sun-Devouring Demon Emperor could now be considered half a relative of Chen Yuze.

Even so, Chen Yuze still felt immense pressure under the gaze of those eight large eyes.

The sense of oppression I felt upon first meeting him was no less than that of my homeroom teacher back in school, who always seemed to appear outside the classroom window like an evil spirit.

"Fuck-"

Perhaps sensing that Chen Yuze was also watching him, the owner of the eight eyes immediately let out an extremely piercing scream.

Chen Yuze didn't know how to describe this eerie sound.

If I had to give an analogy, it would probably be like the sound made when two pieces of leather rub against each other.

After the mist cleared, Chen Yuze finally saw the owner of the eight big eyes.
