After a satisfying meal, the family, filled with joy and with slightly protruding bellies, strolled leisurely home from the White Horse Restaurant.
The moment Yuan Bao stepped inside, before he could even take off his shoes, he heard that long-lost, familiar yet mechanical system notification in his mind: "Ding-dong—System upgrade complete. Currently updated to Level 5. The online version is now available. Please..."
The crisp, clear voice broke the brief tranquility after returning home. Yuan Bao's eyes widened instantly, sparkling with surprise and anticipation.
She was so excited she almost jumped up. Suppressing her excitement, she quietly looked around and found that her family members were all busy with their own things and no one noticed her unusual behavior.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. He quickly returned to his room.
He locked the door, rushed to the bedside, and picked up the little one who was lazily lying on the bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Little 9 was picked up, she exaggeratedly pouted and complained with a face full of disgust: "Oh, my master, put me down quickly! The smell of roast duck on you is making me faint!"
The voice was sharp and reproachful, and it remained exceptionally clear in my mind.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao was both amused and exasperated. He tightened his grip on Xiao 9 and said, feigning grievance, "Xiao 9, you're so heartless!"
"At this exciting moment when the system upgrade is complete, I'm eagerly waiting for you to share it with me, but you're actually complaining about me. Do you think that's appropriate?" As she spoke, she gently poked Little 9's head.
Little 9 turned her head away from Yuan Bao's finger and retorted confidently, "How is it inappropriate? You have the nerve to say that? You secretly went to eat something delicious without taking me with you!"
His tone was like that of a child whose candy had been taken away, full of resentment.
Yuan Bao couldn't help but laugh out loud, rolled his eyes, and replied irritably, "That's because you timed out this time!"
"I've been waiting for you for so long, I'm practically dying of anticipation. I can't keep this delicious roast duck waiting forever."
Then, Yuan Bao carried Xiao 9 into the space and placed Xiao 9 on the dining table.
Then he raised his voice and shouted, "Little White, come here quickly!"
In the blink of an eye, Little White appeared in front of Yuan Bao. It was surrounded by a soft halo, and its eyes were full of gentleness as it waited quietly for Yuan Bao to speak.
Yuan Bao smiled and said gently, "Little White, could you please make six Peking ducks? Once they're done, bring one over to Little 9 first; it's been drooling over them."
As he spoke, Yuan Bao turned to look at Xiao 9 and added, "Xiao 9, is one roast duck enough for you?"
Upon hearing this, Little 9 jumped up and down on the table excitedly, nodding its head like it was pounding garlic: "Not enough, not enough! I've been starving lately, give me two to satisfy my craving!"
Yuan Bao was amused by Xiao 9's eagerness and said to Xiao Xiaobai, "Alright, Xiao Xiaobai, then give Xiao 9 two!"
The little white creature readily agreed: "Yes, Master, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
After saying that, it took light steps and hurried towards the kitchen.
Soon, the sizzling sound of ingredients being stir-fried in a pot came from the kitchen, and the aroma of cooking filled the air.
After arranging everything, Yuan Bao smiled helplessly at Xiao 9 and said, "Alright, just stay here and wait to enjoy the feast."
I'm going to take a shower in the bedroom, otherwise you'll start complaining about my smell again.
Little 9 licked its lips, its eyes fixed on the direction of the kitchen, its tail wagging happily: "Alright, go ahead! Master, this upgrade really took a toll on me. After I've eaten, I'll tell you all about what happened inside."
Yuan Bao smiled and shook his head, then turned and walked towards the bedroom, leaving Xiao 9 at the dining table, eagerly awaiting the delicious roast duck that was about to be served.
Soon, Yuan Bao came downstairs after taking a bath and saw Little 9 lying listlessly on the dining table, its eyes still fixed on the kitchen, eagerly waiting for its roast duck.
Yuan Bao sat down on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Xiao 9's pitiful state, he understood that if Xiao 9 hadn't eaten enough, it probably wouldn't be able to take care of itself.
So I decided to first get the things I already knew I could do after the upgrade done.
She opened the game store and directly searched for cell repair pill formulas, height-increasing pill formulas, and body proportion adjustment pill formulas.
When the search results appeared and he saw those rows of prices, Yuan Bao's eyes widened instantly, and his mouth involuntarily opened slightly.
"Good heavens!" she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, each formula costing ten million.
Next, quickly check your gold coin balance in the bottom right corner.
"Oh my God!" Yuan Bao couldn't help but exclaim.
The balance font has turned into a bold, bright green, and 168 is followed by a whole bunch of zeros.
Her eyes widened, and her fingers frantically gestured on the screen, trying to count how many zeros there were, but she felt dizzy and the zeros seemed to be dancing, making it impossible to count them all.
After two lifetimes, she finally understood in the game what it meant for "when you have a lot of money, it's just a number."
The feeling was so unreal, yet so undeniably real, that it left her momentarily disoriented.
Although it was just numbers, Yuan Bao couldn't suppress his curiosity and counted the balance carefully on the screen.
Goodness, that's over a hundred million!
Such a huge sum, if exchanged in the real world, could provide for several lifetimes of affluent living.
Since he had more money than he could ever spend, Yuan Bao no longer hesitated and decisively took action, tapping the screen to acquire all three formulas without a second thought.
Then he bought two spirit beasts that were specifically for mining gems, two spirit beasts that were in charge of crafting, and two spirit beasts that were in charge of refining medicine.
Open the micro-map and teleport to the gem mine with two gem-digging spirit beasts.
The light here is dim, but it cannot conceal the mysterious glow emanating from the minerals.
Yuan Bao meticulously prepared their living and eating environment and arranged everything properly.
Upon receiving the command, the two spirit beasts excitedly raised their paws and joyfully threw themselves into their work.
They move nimbly, each dig full of power, seemingly brimming with boundless enthusiasm for their work.
Looking at the busy spirit beasts, Yuan Bao couldn't help but sigh, "If this were in the real world, every boss would be fighting over them! They work a lot and eat little, and each one is only 100,000. Buying them outright would be such a great deal!"
Yuan Bao teleported back to the villa and then arranged for the spirit beasts in charge of craftsmanship and those in charge of alchemy.
After a flurry of activity, Yuan Bao finally stopped to catch his breath, his gaze falling on Little 9.
At that moment, Little 9 was buried in front of the plate of Peking duck, his cheeks bulging rapidly as he wolfed it down, oil stains covering the corners of his mouth, making him look incredibly comical.
Yuan Bao smiled as he watched the little guy eat with such satisfaction, thinking that it had finally gotten what it wanted.
While Xiao 9 was enjoying his meal, Yuan Bao quickly started operating on the virtual screen, found the cell restoration pill formula, and activated it without hesitation.
In an instant, a dazzling white light flashed, and Yuan Bao subconsciously raised her hand to shield her eyes. Immediately afterward, the light pierced straight into her head, and a flood of dense information about pill making rushed in.
Yuan Bao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and studied and digested the information word by word.
As expected, the medicinal materials used to make the cell restoration pills were all common and easily obtainable in daily life. This discovery made Yuan Bao very happy, as if she could already see the scene of mass production of the pills.
Just as Yuan Bao was immersed in the research of the formula, he heard a slow, leisurely sound.
She looked up and saw Little 9 leisurely licking its paws. Its once flat belly was now round and plump, like a fully inflated balloon.
Perhaps because it had eaten too much, it was too lazy to even walk and simply floated down from the air.
Little 9 floated to Yuan Bao's side, affectionately rubbed against her palm, and said ingratiatingly, "My lady, oh, I'm finally full, it feels so good!"
Looking at Xiao 9's adorable appearance, Yuan Bao's curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but ask, "System upgrade, why are you so hungry? I've never seen you like this before when upgrading?"
Little 9 hung her head and muttered pitifully, "Isn't there a saying that goes, 'It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality'?"
I wasn't high enough level before, so I never got to try so many delicious foods, and leveling up never took this long before.
This time, after several days of this, my stomach has been growling in protest for ages!
Yuan Bao gently poked Xiao 9's head and said with a smile, "Alright, I know it's not easy for you. Okay, let's get down to business. What new features are included in the system upgrade?"
"Okay, great! The biggest highlight of this system upgrade is the launch of the online version!"
After Xiao 9 finished speaking, she saw Yuan Bao's face full of doubt, his brows furrowed into a small knot, and his eyes filled with incomprehension.
So it cleared its throat and explained in a serious tone: "Simply put, before this game was played by you alone, it was a single-player version, but now it's different, you can choose a multiplayer version with team dungeons."
In the future, you'll be able to team up with other players to fight monsters and do quests, and you might even make a lot of like-minded new friends!
