Aside from eliminating the target, any system notification is a serious matter.
The last time it rang on its own was when he was on the verge of death and forcibly activated the evolution.
Thinking of this, he immediately checked the notification message—
【drop! 】
[The system has detected that the host has come into contact with one of the main characters in this world's storyline. An upgrade will begin in five minutes.]
This system upgrade will take 24 hours.
[Friendly Reminder: Please be aware of your personal safety during the system upgrade and refrain from any careless or reckless actions!]

Good guy~
Cao Han discovered that this system actually had a strange sense of time!
They said the system would upgrade in five minutes, and then they gave him a countdown timer, as if they were afraid he wouldn't know how long five minutes was.
Fortunately, there's no need to use the system right now.
Neither the bloodline progress nor the accumulation of evolution points is nearly enough to allow for further evolution.
"Is the one you're in contact with a key character in the story referring to Chu Zihang?"
"If contact with Chu Zihang can upgrade the system, then what if contact with Lu Mingfei, the destined master of the Dragon Clan world, would also bring about changes?"
"I knew this system looked too rudimentary. It lacks various functions; besides devouring and evolving, it doesn't even provide inventory space. Trash!"
Because of the sudden system upgrade, all sorts of thoughts raced through my mind.
"Brother Cao! Brother Cao! Brother Cao!!!"
Chu Tianjiao, sitting in the front row, kept calling out to Cao Han. He was truly exasperated. Even when things were so urgent, this guy still had the leisure to daydream and drift off into his own world.
If we don't hurry up and find a way to leave Nibelungen, Odin will catch up with us in his frisbee soon.
Realizing that his thoughts had been somewhat led astray by the other party, Chu Tianjiao quickly shook his head, shaking these terrible ideas out of his mind.
"Uncle, why did you call me?" Cao Han realized.
"Didn't you say the Maybach was going in the same direction we came from? When will this end? Can we really get out of Nibelungen like this?"
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
After saying that, Cao Han raised his chin in the direction they were heading, gesturing for Chu Tianjiao to look ahead: "Didn't you notice?"
Chu Tianjiao was somewhat taken aback: "Noticed what!?"
Just then, Chu Zihang suddenly spoke up, "Has the rain lessened?"
"Bingo!" Cao Han snapped his fingers, greatly praising Chu Zihang's insight.
Although the changes were subtle, the rain outside the window was indeed gradually lessening as the Maybach moved forward. "Actually, we're already on the right track to leave Nibelungen!"
As expected, they were very close to the location of the "door".
Seeing this, Chu Tianjiao, whose body and nerves had been tense for a long time, also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still secretly on guard against Cao Han.
Because he was hiding a shocking secret that neither of the two people in the car knew.
Hidden in the trunk of the Maybach was a box with a bright silver World Tree logo.
The contents of the box were precisely what Chu Tianjiao had been guarding in seclusion for many years. If even the slightest leak of that thing were to occur, it would likely cause a major upheaval in the entire mixed-race community.
Those were the embryonic eggs of Nidhogg the Black King!
Cao Han's identity is just too suspicious!
Among the mixed-race people Chu Tianjiao knew, the strongest was naturally Angers, who was known as the "Dragon Slayer of Destiny." However, he was certain of one thing: even his old friend Angers could not reach the level of Cao Han.
They even suspected that it might be a dragon king wearing human skin.
With such an unparalleled and powerful man sitting right behind you, it would be a lie to say you weren't nervous and on guard!
His gaze swept through the rearview mirror at the clearly extraordinary bronze coffin, feigning curiosity but actually testing the waters.
"Brother Cao, may I ask what's inside this bronze coffin? I'm just curious. It's okay if you can't tell me."
"Hey~ What's wrong with saying this?"
Cao Han waved his hand dismissively, and as he opened the bronze coffin lid, he explained, "You should know about pure-blooded dragons being reborn from their cocoons, right?"
This bronze coffin was once the place where a certain next generation of beings conceived a backup plan. Unfortunately, it was unlucky enough to encounter me, who happened to be short of a 'suitcase' to carry my things.
Of course, don't worry~
I'm the kind of person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Since I took their coffin, I figured I'd also send them on their way to reincarnation, saving them the trouble of going through the ordeal of being reborn!
What a hellish joke!
It sounded like a heartwarming little story, but Chu Tianjiao couldn't laugh at all.
Perhaps it was because he had been alone in Nibelungen for too long, and it was rare to meet fellow countrymen from the same world. Cao Han found that his urge to confide in others was getting out of control, and he was even evolving into a chatterbox.
"This coffin contains all the spoils I plundered in Avalon."
Don't let Odin's seemingly lofty and self-important appearance fool you; he's actually a guy who indulges in the utmost luxury and pleasure.
As he spoke, he pulled something that looked like a trophy out of the bronze coffin.
"Look at this thing that looks like a trophy. If I told you it was the Holy Grail brought back by the paladin Galahad in the legend, would you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, not only Chu Tianjiao, but even Chu Zihang, who was driving, couldn't help but turn around and take a curious look.
"Although it is called the Holy Grail, the Knights of the Round Table actually preferred to use it as a wine glass. Simply activating the alchemy array on it would continuously produce shimmering wine."
As he spoke, Cao Han personally demonstrated for the two of them, taking a big gulp of the wine-like liquid that was flowing out of the Holy Grail, and then revealing a relaxed expression.
"You know what, this thing solves the water problem, it's really convenient! And even though it looks like wine, you won't get drunk no matter how much you drink it. On the contrary, the liquid contains a mysterious energy that can heal all kinds of injuries."
After hearing the whole introduction, Chu Tianjiao felt that Cao Han's behavior was somewhat of a waste of talent.
Holy water, meant to heal injuries, was being tasted like fine wine by the other party. For some reason, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind when he thought of this.
A pot-bellied, alcoholic old man who spends most of his time guarding the clock tower of Kassel College.
If this old guy knew that there was an alchemical tool that could produce wine endlessly without the worry of getting drunk, he would definitely try every means to get his hands on it.
"I can see what you're trying to say from your eyes. Do you think my behavior is a bit of a waste?"
No matter how subtle the change in expression, it could not escape Cao Han's sharp eyes, but he simply did not care.
Cao Han gently tossed the "Holy Grail" in his hand into Chu Tianjiao's arms, then took out two almost identical Holy Grails from the bronze coffin, one in each hand, and said generously:
"Didn't I just say that these are the cups the Knights of the Round Table used for drinking? I have twelve of these cups here, and you can have the one you have."
To put it bluntly, the so-called Holy Grail was all made up by Cao Han, but he didn't make up any details about its functions.
However, the effectiveness of this treatment for the injury is far less than expected.
Anyway, for him, the wound was probably already basically healed before he even drank it.
He casually gifted Chu Tianjiao a Holy Grail, thinking that he couldn't be biased towards one another, since Chu Zihang was one of the main characters in the story, and it was also important to build a good relationship with him.
"Zihang, I don't know what you like. When we leave Nibelungen, I promise to let you choose one of my spoils as a gift."
Chu Zihang, who is naturally bad at communicating with people, subconsciously wanted to refuse the stranger's kindness, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words.
Having just witnessed the real world, he was at the height of his curiosity.
Especially after hearing that alchemical artifacts could have such amazing effects, I became even more excited.
In the end, he could only force out two words:
"Thank you."
Chapter 21 Escaping the Nibelungen
"Roar!!!"
A deafening roar echoed from beyond the horizon, shattering the slight relaxation that had just begun inside the car.
The Chu father and son felt a chill run down their spines, once again sensing the threat of death.
This is a race against time!
Chu Tianjiao could clearly sense that the rain around him was gradually becoming a light drizzle, and he could also feel the increasingly intense sense of oppression in the distance.
The "tough guy" in the back seat who could fight Odin one-on-one was their only trump card.
"Light!"
"what?!"
"There's light ahead!!!"
Chu Zihang's exclamation instantly drew the attention of the other two, who then looked ahead in the direction of travel.
Sure enough, a beam of light could be seen piercing through the rain and appearing in the field of vision. The familiar scene reminded me of my experience in front of what appeared to be a tollbooth.
That time, they ran into Cao Han, who was cosplaying Odin riding a six-legged winged horse.
Given that Odin himself is currently making a great show of force behind them, what awaits them with this beam of light?!
"Brother Cao, you're more familiar with this place, can you see clearly what that beam of light in front of you is?" Just to be on the safe side, Chu Tianjiao felt it was better to ask for clarification.
What if another guy who looks like Odin appears ahead?
In fact, Chu Tianjiao already had the answer to this question in his heart, but he was a little unsure and needed others to confirm it.
"You probably didn't sense any threat from that direction either, right? Don't overthink it, that's our glimmer of hope for leaving Nibelungen, let's just charge straight there!"
Cyclone Charge Tornado!
Hear this.
Chu Zihang, who was in charge of driving, stared firmly ahead. His right foot, which had become numb from pressing the accelerator for so long, dared not relax for a moment and kept it pressed down firmly.
