Chapter 1059: Reluctant to Upgrade the System

He Yuzhu took a palm-sized drone out of his backpack, quickly assembled it in a few movements, and then hung a small piece of ammunition under the fuselage.

He waved at Milai, signaling for the other party to come closer and look carefully.

Milai immediately leaned in, looking it over with a face full of curiosity.

He Yuzhu operated the remote control, and the small drone took off with a "buzzing" sound, as agile as a dragonfly; after circling in the air once, it charged straight toward an abandoned armored vehicle in the distance.

"Boom—!"

The explosion was not very loud, but the armored vehicle's turret was blown clean off, billowing black smoke surged upward, and metal fragments scattered all over the ground with a clatter.

Milai's eyes widened into perfect circles, and his mouth hung wide open.

He looked abruptly at He Yuzhu, "Big Brother! This thing is simply a divine weapon! How... how many can you give me?"

He Yuzhu said indifferently: "I'll give you five hundred to use first this time. If the results are good, you can go to my company to purchase more; I will definitely give you the best price. However, please provide feedback on your experience after use so we can make improvements at any time."

Milai was so happy he almost jumped up, "Good, good, good! No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

Before leaving, He Yuzhu placed five hundred drones at the Mila villa.

Milai pushed open the warehouse door, and inside, five hundred drones were neatly stacked; their silver-gray shells gleamed with a cold luster under the lights, like a group of falcons ready to strike at any moment.

Milai stepped forward quickly, touching this one and peering at that one, muttering to himself: "Heaven never closes all doors! With these little guys, what do I have to fear from those Government Army troops!"

Myanmar has many mountains and dense forests with crisscrossing ravines; for the Government Army to reach Milai here, they would need to traverse mountains and ridges. If Milai dispersed his troops to the various mountains, with each person carrying a suicide drone, they could definitely deal a fatal blow to the Government Army.

On the other side, He Yuzhu drove toward Yangon with Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi, Xu Damao, and Dajinya.

The mountain road was rugged and bumpy, and the group drove for two full days before finally catching sight of the dilapidated city skyline of Yangon.

The situation in Yangon at this time was chaotic, with armed military checkpoints everywhere on the streets and rows upon rows of barbed wire.

He Yuzhu led the group through many twists and turns, dodging layers of inspections, and finally checked into a small hotel run by a fellow countryman.

The room was not large, and much of the wall plaster had peeled off, but fortunately, it was kept clean; the Boss, seeing they were compatriots, even specially added two extra dishes.

After dinner, the few of them sat together chatting. Hu Bayi asked: "Master He, why did you bring us to this place? Is there some kind of profitable business?"

He Yuzhu smiled: "I did come here to handle some private matters. I won't let you make the trip for nothing; I have over a hundred pieces of high-quality jade on me, and I'll distribute ten to each of you later."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi hurriedly waved his hands: "That won't do, no need, no need, Master He, you are too polite..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xu Damao, who was to the side, had his eyes light up instantly.

This time he had picked out quite a few raw stones himself, but very few decent ones were opened; hearing this, he immediately chimed in: "Okay, okay! Brother Zhuzi, following you, there will always be meat to eat!"

Dajinya also leaned in, rubbing his gold tooth as he chuckled: "That would be great! Whatever Master He brings out must be top-tier goods!"

After settling the others in, He Yuzhu returned to his own room and asked in his heart: "System, if I use all the jade I have to upgrade, to what extent can the system be upgraded?"

After a moment of silence, a gentle female voice sounded: "If all the jade is invested, the system can be upgraded to an Intelligent System. At that time, with a single thought from you, the system can help you complete the corresponding operations, provided it does not violate the fundamental laws of the current world."

He Yuzhu shook his head immediately: "System, let's forget about the upgrade for now. Help me calculate, if all these jade stones are exchanged for Space-Time Shuttle Tickets, how many times can I use it?"

He knew very clearly in his heart that he did not want to be completely bound by an Intelligent System.

The so-called laws—which country's laws? If it applied the rules of Western countries, that would be troublesome; even hanging clothes in one's own yard might result in a fine, which is absurd just to think about.

The system replied: "It can be exchanged for fifty Space-Time Shuttles."

"Then I'll choose this; definitely don't upgrade to an Intelligent System," He Yuzhu said hurriedly.

"Understood." The system's tone carried a hint of impatience.

He Yuzhu understood in his heart that the other party was in a mood because he had refused the upgrade.

He hurriedly placated it: "Rest assured, if we get good things this time, we can upgrade appropriately."

The system's tone remained flat: "Whether to upgrade is a decision left to you; the only thing that affects me is that after the host leaves, if I am still a low-level system, I will be laughed at by my peers."

He Yuzhu patiently consoled it: "Don't worry, when that day really comes, I will definitely upgrade you to the highest-level system before I leave."

The system then became happy and said: "This time, the travel session is launching a 'buy one get one free' event..."

He Yuzhu smiled slightly: "That's perfect, I'll head to the underground vault of the Miaowadi Bank right now."

A flash of light appeared before his eyes, and He Yuzhu had already appeared in the underground vault of the Miaowadi Bank; the warehouse was piled full of jadeite raw stones.

The system immediately initiated Scanning, its voice full of excitement: "Host, this place is full of top-tier jadeite raw stones. If all are exchanged for Space-Time Shuttle Tickets, it can be exchanged for at least two hundred times."

He Yuzhu chuckled: "Exchange them all for shuttle tickets for me."

The system did not forget to remind him: "Host, it is recommended to reserve a sufficient amount of jade for the Intelligent System upgrade."

He Yuzhu had a change of heart; exchanging all the jade for shuttle tickets really didn't make much sense, so he immediately nodded in agreement: "Fine, you keep enough jade for the upgrade, and exchange all the rest for shuttle tickets."

The system prompted: "One hundred shuttle tickets have been exchanged; the host currently has one hundred and forty-nine remaining Space-Time Shuttle uses."

After collecting the jade in the vault, He Yuzhu walked into the vault where gold was stored. The gold reserves inside were not large, only five tons, plus less than one hundred million US dollars in cash; the rest were finished goods like jadeite jewelry and gold ornaments, all of which he collected into the System Space.

After finishing all this, He Yuzhu immediately activated the Space-Time Shuttle and instantly returned to the hotel room where he was staying.

Exhausted from days of rushing about, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Early the next morning, the atmosphere on the street suddenly felt wrong.

Military police were going door-to-door to check identities and searching everywhere.

He Yuzhu stood by the window watching the activity downstairs, sensing vaguely in his heart that the news of the bank theft had likely spread, but it was impossible for the Government Army's news to arrive this quickly.

"Master He! These military police are looking for people everywhere; could it be that they are coming for us? Should we leave here immediately!" Hu Bayi shouted while knocking on the door urgently.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and immediately made a plan: "Alright, pack your luggage immediately and get in the car to leave right now."

The group quickly packed their personal belongings and dove into He Yuzhu's Bulletproof Car.

Just as the car drove out of the hotel gate, it was blocked by a First Team of military police.
