Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

This thatched cottage, viewed from the outside, is naturally antique.

Of course, if we don't use such a polite word to describe it, it would be shabby.

But when Mr. Hu walked in, what he saw was not the dirt floor and simple furniture he had expected at all.

The floor is square black star-patterned marble tiles in eighty-centimeter dimensions;

Opposite is a large row of floor-to-ceiling windows, and outside the windows is the lush hills.

In the middle of the room, there is a circle of gray fabric sofas, and on the chaise longue there is a cashmere blanket that looks like it was thrown there carelessly.

On the coffee table in front of the sofa, there was an ashtray, a lighter, Furong King, and several packs of beans that were clearly meant to be snacks, and I had no idea if they had expired or not!

If these could only be considered ordinary, then the young man with sweat all over his forehead but an exceptionally bright smile in the large photo frame more than one meter high on the wall behind the sofa would be enough to explain why Mr. Hu lost his composure like that.

It took Hu Weiyong a long time to calm down from his sudden emotion. He sniffed and walked silently to the photo.

Without even looking down, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette box on the coffee table and put it in his lips.

Ding... sizzle...

Perhaps it was the power of the system, or perhaps it was the really good quality of the kerosene lighter. In any case, Hu Weiyong didn't have to think about it at all, and the slightly warm orange flame came out, lighting the cigarette that transcended time and space.

Hu Weiyong just stared blankly at the huge photo in front of him amidst the rising green smoke.

As a bachelor who could go to the club every few days to "talk business", Hu Weiyong naturally had no shortage of friends.

But apart from those drinking buddies with conflicting interests, he also has no shortage of true friends.

The three big boys in the photo, who are grinning almost as much as the young Hu Weiyong, sweating profusely under the scorching sun but smiling extremely happily, are Hu Weiyong’s most sincere friends in his previous life.

Mr. Hu just stared at the large photo with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes gradually filled with nostalgia and sadness.

"Those three bastards, if they knew I was dead and got my inheritance, they would probably cry and curse at me!"

"Alas, I only know three of you bastards. If I die, who else should I give my money to if not you?"

"There's nothing we can do. You guys are the only ones who need to support your family, and there are so many people to support at home!"

"I am wise. I can't take anything with me when I die. I have lived a happy life and have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed!"

"Humph, you don't know, I've traveled through time just like the protagonists in those online novels we read back then!"

'Is it magical? Am I amazing? Am I powerful? Am I awesome?'

'But...my brothers...I miss you so much!'

"I really miss you guys so much!"

Tears silently overflowed and slid down Master Hu's eyes, but there was no longer any sadness on Master Hu's face. Instead, he had an uncertain smile on his face.

Perhaps, at this moment, Mr. Hu has returned to his ordinary yet wonderful life in his previous life.

At this moment, he didn't want to care about the jade box on the coffee table, which looked out of place and completely different from this house which was exactly the same as his own.

He just wanted to indulge himself for a while in peace and contentment in this long-lost memory that he had kept deep in his heart for years and had not dared to touch!

After a long time, when the box of cigarettes that Mr. Hu had opened 'before leaving' in his previous life was almost empty, Mr. Hu finally took a deep breath, then staggered and fell onto the sofa.

The familiar touch, the familiar feeling of being wrapped, Mr. Hu leaned back slightly and habitually rested his head on the backrest.

Then he realized, something was wrong!

All the decorations in this room are exactly the same as in my house, but why is the ceiling different?

Isn’t there too much fancy stuff on this ceiling?

"System, can you explain to me when I installed an LCD screen on my ceiling?"

"Besides, what are you showing?"

Mr. Hu didn't expect that his casual complaint would be answered. After all, he had tried this kind of thing countless times in the past few years.

Even just now, he was pointing his finger at the sky and cursing at the system for a long time, but there was no response from the system.

But I never thought that this was such an exception.

Look, looking at the light screen that appeared again in front of him, Master Hu almost jumped up.

[The system has received the question submitted by the host. Please open the system manual in front of you as soon as possible, and everything will be clear! ]

Mom!

This dog system can actually answer questions.

It turns out that the reason why he ignored me before was because he didn't want to answer my questions, or that they were simply not within the scope of his answers?

However, regardless of whether this damn system is like this or not, Master Hu finally focused his attention on the jade box on the coffee table.

After the jade box was opened, Master Hu was stunned.

"System, you need to give me an instruction manual and create a nesting doll. Isn't that a bit too complicated?"

While complaining, Master Hu opened the wooden box that was one level smaller inside the jade box.

Then, as expected, a smaller jade box was seen again.

Then Master Hu opened it again without thinking.

Soon after, Mr. Hu suffered a severe punishment for his recklessness.

Light!

A light so bright that it can blind a dog’s eyes!

Even if Mr. Hu closed his eyes at the first moment, he could not avoid the fate of being stimulated to tears.

Moreover, before Mr. Hu could start cursing, he saw a dazzling ball of light coming straight towards him through his eyelids.

The speed of the ball of light was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to dodge before he was hit.

Then, he understood everything.

Oh my god, whose instruction manual is given like this?

But no matter what, the joy in Mr. Hu's heart was almost overflowing at this moment.

After this system upgrade, a simple and unpretentious function was added: space.

That’s right, it’s the system space that is essential for the protagonists in various system-based novels.

The pool of water outside was, as expected, filled with that extremely vulgar spiritual liquid.

Then, equally cliché is that plants can be grown and animals can be raised in this space.

And what controls everything in this space is not voice, thinking or the like, but the "mobile phone" that is still inside the box and the "screen" above the head!
