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

"Help! Anyone, please help me!"

The desperate shouts quickly echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

At this moment, Ruyi desperately wished a hero could descend from the sky and drive away those damned cockroaches for her.

Almost the instant Ruyi had this thought, her wish came true.

A figure entered the bedroom and swiftly pounced on the gliding cockroach.

Before Ruyi could even react to what had happened, the cockroach, along with the sound of its wings flapping as if from the abyss, vanished completely.

"Ruyi, are you alright?"

After easily eliminating the cockroach, the figure turned to look at Ruyi, who was sitting on the bed, with a concerned gaze.

"Luo, Luo Xin?"

She never expected that the hero who saved her was neither Chen Yuze nor the other sisters, but Luo Xin, whom she had been treating coldly for the past few days.

Even if Ruyi's heart were made of stone, she could never treat Luoxin the same way she used to.

"Don't worry, Ruyi. The cockroaches have already been taken care of."

Seeing that Ruyi was still in shock, Luo Xin hugged her like she was comforting a baby and gently patted Ruyi's back.

This brief contact made Ruyi realize something.

Although Luo Xin's true form is a spider, she now has the same warm body temperature as her sisters.

And it smelled nice, not at all like the disgusting bugs I had imagined.

"Luo Xin".

After breaking free from Luo Xin's embrace, Ru Yi kept looking at her with a complicated gaze.

After a long while, she finally asked, somewhat embarrassed, "Don't you think... I'm annoying?"

"Dislike Ruyi"

"?" Luo Xin blinked, tilting her head in confusion. "Why do you say that?"

"Because I haven't given you a good look these past few days."

With her fingers gripping the bedsheets tightly, Ruyi suddenly realized that what Chilian had said before might not have been wrong.

Compared to Luo Xin's magnanimity, I am indeed too petty.

"Isn't that because Ruyi is afraid of bugs?" Luo Xin chuckled foolishly, completely unconcerned.

"Just like how I'm actually quite afraid of things like frogs and toads. If any of the sisters in this house were actually monsters like that, their reaction might be even more intense than Ruyi's, right? So, Ruyi, don't worry about these little things. Besides, I promised Mr. Meal Ticket that I would get along well with everyone."

"..."

Ruyi pursed her lips, but did not immediately respond.

After taking several deep breaths, she finally composed herself and sincerely expressed her gratitude to her savior: "Thank you, Luo Xin. Whether it's saving me today or for forgiving me for treating you coldly before."

"So, Ruyi is willing to be friends with him?" A blush of excitement immediately appeared on the girl's fair face.

Immediately afterward, Luo Xin hugged Ruyi again, rubbing her cheek against Ruyi's: "Great~~ I finally fulfilled my promise to Mr. Meal Ticket~"

"Hmm~"

To be honest, Ruyi doesn't particularly like having such close contact with anyone other than Chen Yuze.

This time, however, she managed to hold back.

Only after Luo Xin's excitement subsided did Ru Yi break free from her embrace and extend her hand in her own way: "From now on, let's get along well as sisters."

"Okay~"

Holding Ruyi's fair and tender hand firmly, Luo Xin started chuckling foolishly again.

"Speaking of which, why is Luo Xin afraid of frogs and toads?"

Perhaps in order to deepen their understanding of each other, after letting go of her reservations, Ruyi took the opportunity to chat with Luoxin: "Of course, if this question offends you, you don't have to say it."

"Actually, I'm not really sure either." Scratching her head, Luo Xin told the truth: "Because I don't have many memories from before, I don't know why I'm afraid of frogs. But every time I see these animals, I instinctively want to run away or chase them away."

"I'm sorry, Chen Yuze actually told us about your memories before, but I couldn't remember them." After hearing Luo Xin's explanation, Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"However, I understand how you feel when you see frogs. When I see insects, my legs go weak and I instinctively want to run away."

"Hehe, in that case, Ruyi is in the same boat as them~"

They didn't pay too much attention to matters concerning past memories. After all, it wasn't something that could be resolved in a short time.

Moreover, for Luo Xin now, she is already very happy as long as she can eat her fill and stay warm with her meal ticket man.

Besides, there are so many sisters in this courtyard who can play with her. Isn't that much more interesting than being chained to the bottom of that cold lake?

While Luo Xin and Ru Yi were chatting harmoniously, Luo Xin's stomach suddenly made a 'gurgling' sound.

Realizing her lapse in composure, Luo Xin immediately blushed and stuck out her tongue: "Oh dear, I think I'm hungry again..."

"Hungry again?" Ruyi couldn't help but glance at Luo Xin's flat stomach. "It seems like only about an hour has passed since we finished lunch, right?"

"That's because I had a good appetite just now~"

"Have you regained your appetite?"

"Yeah~ that cockroach was actually pretty tasty."

"So that's why the cockroach disappeared so suddenly, you ate it?!"

Her eye twitched. Just imagining the cockroach's body being bitten by Luo Xin's silver teeth with a crunching sound and juices splattering everywhere almost made Ruyi vomit.

"Hahaha, we spiders are beneficial insects after all, so it's perfectly normal for us to eat insects~" As if remembering something, Luo Xin added a special note:

"Yesterday morning, Yuanbao even took people to catch bugs to eat from the trees outside the yard! The nutrition from Changqing Mountain is really good; each bug was white and plump, bursting with flavor in your mouth—it was so delicious! And the centipedes from Changqing Mountain are also crunchy. Compared to that, mosquitoes are much harder to eat. They don't have much meat, and they're hard to catch. It's a pity we can't eat those fat earthworms, like sausages, in the herb garden and vegetable patch behind the house. Otherwise, I really wanted to catch a few and slurp them up like noodles—five, six, seven, or eight in one go!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Ruyi quickly interrupted Luo Xin's overly detailed description. After finally managing to stop the violent churning in her stomach, she pointed to Chen Yuze, who was taking a nap in a rocking chair outside the window:

"You don't need to go into such detail about eating insects. If you're hungry, just go find Chen Yuze and ask him to make you some noodles."

"Sorry, sorry, it all started when we were talking about food."

She unconsciously became excited, completely forgetting that Ruyi hated bugs.

Feeling apologetic, Luo Xin shrank back and left the bedroom: "I'm going to find Mr. Meal Ticket to eat noodles. Ruyi, you can rest a little longer. If you see any bugs in the room again, remember to call my name~ I promise I'll come running whenever you call~!"

"There won't be so many bugs in the bedroom!"

Although she said that, after Luo Xin left, Ruyi still cautiously shrank into the quilt and looked around.

Only after confirming that there was nothing dirty in the room did the girl breathe a sigh of relief and lie down on the bed.

"It seems I'll have to discuss pest control with Chen Yuze later."

292. Mountain and Sea Veterinary System Ver2.0

The ice and snow have melted, and the sun is shining brightly.

In the courtyard, Chen Yuze was leisurely lying on a rocking chair, enjoying the warm and gentle afternoon sun.

If you get any closer, you can even hear him softly humming a Jay Chou song.

It's clear that Chen Yuze is in a very good mood right now.

However, his happiness did not stem entirely from these enjoyable moments of slacking off.

"Sure enough, secretly letting a cockroach into the house was the right choice!"

Looking at Ruyi and Luoxin chatting and laughing not far away, Chen Yuze admired his own cleverness.

You should know that Chen Yuze went to great lengths to get the two girls to get along well.

After all, Ruyi was extremely hostile towards insects.

Chen Yuze only resorted to this tactic when he had absolutely no other choice.

However, it turns out that people are indeed most likely to develop dependence on and affection for others when they are in danger.

As a result, Ruyi gradually accepted Luo Xin's existence under the suspension bridge effect.

Although Chen Yuze was interfering in the process, the ending was at least pleasing.

As long as Chen Yuze keeps his mouth shut, Ruyi will never know that the flying white-headed fat cockroach yesterday was specially caught by Chen Yuze and placed in the bedroom!

"Tsk tsk, I've really sacrificed so much for the harmony of this family."

With a smug swing of his crossed legs, Chen Yuze glanced at Ruyi and Luoxin again before closing his eyes and enjoying this afternoon of quiet contemplation.

However, just as he closed his eyes, the system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding! The Mountain and Sea Veterinary System has been upgraded. The current version is Ver2.0!]

[Because this upgrade has affected the host's system usage, this system has already provided the host with...]

Compensation will be provided through a compassionate approach.

[In addition, since this system upgrade took longer than the originally planned thirty-six hours, this system will compensate the host with three additional Fusion Acceleration Pills.]

"At least you still have a conscience!"

Ignoring the three extra Fusion Su Cheng Pills gifted by the system for the time being, I looked at the panel and saw that it had suddenly increased from...

Climb to

At the sight of the benevolent man, Chen Yuze inexplicably felt like he had become a nouveau riche.

To be honest, if all those points were used for the lottery, that would be over two hundred draws!

If this reward were in a novel, it would be enough for the author to fill an entire chapter with words.

[Ding! System upgrade complete, system prize pool has also undergone another round of optimization. This optimization has removed a large number of N-level rewards and added UR-level items. Host, please give it a try!]

"Oh ho, they even added UR items?"

Rubbing his hands together excitedly, Chen Yuze truly hadn't expected that the system would add even rarer items than SSR-level items after the update.

It's worth noting that none of the SSR items he drew were useless; in fact, their effects were all ridiculously powerful.

Even SSR items are already this powerful, Chen Yuze simply cannot imagine how overpowered UR-level items would be.

So, Chen Yuze, getting more and more excited, simply waved his hand and issued a lottery drawing command to the system with great generosity.

"System, give me a hundred consecutive draws first!"
