Chapter 1

The Mother Kingdom of the Western Queen

In a dark tunnel, several leaf necks as thick as a thumb were crawling, occasionally sticking out their tongues.

They have been an indispensable part of the Queen Mother of the West since the founding of her kingdom.

The fact that the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West has been able to stand for so long without being defeated by other countries is largely due to the wild chicken neck.

"Damn it!"

"Where am I?"

"Where is my lab?"

"Who the hell tied me up here?"

A clear, irritable voice rang out in the silent passageway.

That voice contained boundless anger.

"Damn it, could it be that my research on the zombie virus was discovered and I've been arrested?"

"Will the government intervene, or will other forces intervene?"

"Never mind that, let's figure out the situation first."

Qi Mo stood up, leaned against the wall, and observed his surroundings.

Because the passageway was too dark, he could only barely see things within two meters around him.

Just then, a strange hissing sound entered Qi Mo's ears.

It sounded like a snake sticking out its tongue.

Qi Mo wasn't sure if it was a snake, but he felt it was most likely.

Instantly, he became alert, his whole body tensing up.

[Sizzle...]

[System restarting...]

[Sizzle...]

System restart complete.

[Damn it, the reboot is finally complete. I'm exhausted!]

Qi Mo: "..."

What is that?

Is the system the one he imagined?

Who's so amazing that they even figured out the system?

Can we meet and talk?

He was itching to find the system and dissect it for research.

But does this thing have a physical form?

So, where is he now?

[Host, your lab has exploded]

[With a bang, you were blown to bits]

[After observing your dedication to research, this system has bound you to its system.]

Qi Mo blinked, unsure whether he believed the system's words.

After all, he had no memory of being killed in the explosion.

Qi Mo: "System, is what you're saying true?"

It's real, more real than real gold and silver.

Qi Mo: "Where is this place? Why are there snakes all around?"

This is the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West; it's normal to see pheasant necks here.

The Palace of the Queen Mother of the West!

Could this be the legendary palace of the Queen Mother of the West?

Pheasant Neck is probably the name of a snake!

Qi Mo raised an eyebrow:

"System, could you give me a light source? It's pitch black here, I can't see anything."

What should I do if a pheasant bites me on the neck?

Oh dear, what a forgetful me! I forgot to give you the newbie gift pack.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a box of instant noodles, a small sun (not very useful, but you can put it on your head to show off), and 10,000 points.]

Qi Mo: "..."

What's the use of a box of instant noodles?

Can't this system reward us with something of value?

Is this little sun the sun he understands?

Something feels off!

Points, in the usual way, should be used to redeem things.

[Ahhh, the pheasant's neck is crawling towards you!]

Quickly take out the little heater and scare it away.

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Qi Mo did not delay. He silently recited a command and took out the small sun.

The next moment, a small sun hung above Qi Mo's head, illuminating the entire passageway.

The pheasant's neck, which was crawling towards Qi Mo, was almost blinded by the light and quickly stopped, closing its eyes.

Qi Mo's eyes lit up, and he reached out and grabbed the pheasant's head by the neck, wishing he could dissect this snake he had never seen before on the spot.

…………

Qi Mo looked at the pheasant neck in his hand, then at the surroundings of the passageway, and sighed deeply.

There were no experimental tools available, so he was unable to dissect the pheasant's neck.

It is impossible to extract DNA samples from the pheasant's neck naturally.

However, he wasn't going to let the pheasant's neck go so easily.

After all, it's not easy to encounter a new species. Even if we can't study it now, we can study it later.

You can exchange your money for a preservation bottle to keep the pheasant's neck intact.

Qi Mo became interested upon hearing this.

How long can a food storage bottle preserve live animals?

If it can only be stored for a few hours, he won't exchange it.

[If stored in system space, it can be permanently saved.]

A smile appeared on Qi Mo's face.

However, the system space is currently only ten square meters, so it can only store a limited amount of data.

"Why is it only ten square meters? Is there any way to expand the system space?"

Qi Mo asked impatiently.

System space is a good thing.

In the future, all the biological samples he studies can be stored in the system space.

Moreover, this is essentially a mobile laboratory, both secluded and secure, which is exactly what he needs right now...

[Use points to expand system storage]

Qi Mo replied without hesitation:

"Use all my points to expand the space."

You don't have enough points to expand.

Qi Mo scratched his head.

Ten thousand points are not enough, how many points would be enough?

Could it be millions, or even tens of millions of points?

He had no choice but to settle for second best and exchange for food preservation bottles first.

"Give me a food storage bottle."

[Ding, successful exchange for a preservation bottle, deducting 5000 points from the host]

"What the hell? Are you scamming me? 5000 points for a single food storage bottle?"

Qi Mo questioned loudly.

He suspected that the system was cheating him out of his points.

This heartless thing.

This is a normal price; honest and fair pricing.

Also, since you have already redeemed it, this system does not offer refunds.

Qi Mo could only suffer in silence.

"Take out the food storage bottle."

The next moment, a food preservation bottle appeared in Qi Mo's hand.

Qi Mo opened the bottle cap, put the pheasant's neck inside, and then closed the cap.

Someone is coming.

Qi Mo pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard faint footsteps.

He thought about it and decided to meet the people of this world.

So he walked toward the direction of the sound.

The maids, dressed in coarse linen clothes, became increasingly puzzled as they walked. Normally, the passageway was pitch black, so why was it suddenly bright today?

Moreover, it's excessively bright.

Just then, Qi Mo appeared in a very pretentious manner.

The little sun above his head shone brightly, always following Qi Mo.

At first glance, he looks like a deity descended to earth.

[Maid's Shock Level +100]

[Maid's Shock Level +100]

[Maid's Shock Level +100]

The three maids gaped, their eyes wide with shock.

They stared blankly at the mysterious man, or rather, the deity, before them.

As three ancient people who had never seen anything like this before, they directly regarded Qi Mo as a god.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The three knelt down and bowed.

…………

Led by three maids, Qi Mo met the Queen Mother of the West.

However, this Queen Mother of the West was different from what he had imagined; she was just an ordinary human being.

The Queen Mother of the West, sitting on her throne, was equally shocked and lost all composure when she saw Qi Mo with his head radiating like a little sun.

She stepped down from the throne and knelt before Qi Mo.

"Queen Mother of the West greets Your Majesty the Divine One."

[west Wangmu's shock level +2000]

Qi Mo discovered that this little sun was really useful, and it had fooled all these ancient people.
