My System Arrives 3 Years Earlier, But the Deities Haven't Come Yet

After leaving the Golden Mountain Hotel, Zeng Shen reappeared in a secluded area and hailed a taxi. He went to retrieve his No. 1 Divine Energy Vehicle, storing it in his backpack space, then used the Wormhole Tracking Card to return to his apartment in Jinhai.

Every time Zeng Shen returned to this modest apartment in Jinhai, he felt a deep sense of belonging. He pulled out his Huawei phone from the backpack space. Although he hadn't turned it off, it had remained in the backpack while he was in the States, so it only now reconnected, triggering a flood of notifications for messages and missed calls.

Messages from Li Yuqing, Liu Miao, his parents, and his second cousin Wu Jin all asked about his whereabouts in the States and requested he bring back some baby formula. There was also a video call request from Keke Lin.

Zeng Shen declined Keke Lin's video call, suspecting it was no longer her on the other end. He replied to the other messages before checking the group chat with Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti.

"I'll be sending a truckload of foxes and snakes back to the park soon. Prepare some meat, eggs, and quail eggs—both raw and cooked—and clear unnecessary personnel."

"Understood, Master," replied both Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti.

"Should the meat be raw?" asked Xiao Ai.

"Half raw, half cooked. Eggs and quail eggs can be raw," Zeng Shen specified.

"Got it, Master," Xiao Ai confirmed.

"By the way, I need a new ID and driver's license in the States," Zeng Shen added.

"I'll arrange that for you, Master," replied Xiao Ti.

An hour later, Zeng Shen drove the No. 1 Divine Energy Vehicle, now transformed into a large truck, into the Jinhai City East Zoo.

Only Bai Qi, Old Biao, Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ti came to greet him. As Zeng Shen parked the truck, Bai Qi and Old Biao rushed to open the back doors, eager to help.

However, they quickly recoiled in shock, seeing the truck filled with uncrated red foxes, silver-black foxes, sand foxes, and various future exotic beast king snakes.

The sight of so many colorful snakes in particular was overwhelming, causing both men to step back in fear.

Zeng Shen exited the driver's seat, laughing, "No need to worry. These animals, like the others, are under the influence of an expensive special obedience drug. They'll listen to me and won't harm you."

"Brother Shen, these snakes aren't venomous, right?" Bai Qi asked nervously.

"No, they're all pet snakes, non-venomous," Zeng Shen reassured, petting a curious fox at the door before lowering the truck's ramp and directing the animals.

"Foxes, follow Old Biao to your pen for dinner."

"Yip yip yip," the foxes responded, eagerly hopping down the ramp and crowding around Old Biao.

Despite his tough exterior, Old Biao found himself charmed by the foxes' cuteness and couldn't resist petting their soft fur.

With the foxes out, Zeng Shen addressed the snake group, "Snakes, follow Bai Qi to the snake pen."

"Hiss hiss hiss," the snakes obeyed, slithering down the ramp towards Bai Qi.

Bai Qi, feeling faint at the approaching snakes, pleaded, "Brother Shen, can't I take the foxes instead?"

"Get lost," Old Biao joked while enjoying petting the foxes, then turned to the foxes, "Come along, follow Old Biao. There's always food and drink."

"Please, Brother Biao, let's trade," Bai Qi begged.

"Get lost," Old Biao retorted.

Zeng Shen chuckled at Bai Qi's trembling legs, "What? Afraid of snakes?"

"No," Bai Qi lied, his voice shaky.

"Then the snakes are your responsibility," Zeng Shen declared, grinning.

"No, please, Brother Shen, I'm terrified of snakes, especially colorful ones," Bai Qi admitted.

"Ha ha," Zeng Shen laughed, "I'm scared of them too, but they're not so bad now. Take good care of them; they might surprise you someday."

"More like shock me," Bai Qi muttered, resigned to his fate as he led the snakes to the python enclosure.

With them gone, Zeng Shen asked Xiao Ai, "Where's the cooked meat, eggs, and quail eggs stored?"

"In the zoo's storage warehouse, Master, but they haven't been unloaded yet," Xiao Ai replied.

"No problem," Zeng Shen said, leading Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti to the zoo's storage area.

There, a large delivery truck held two hundred cartons of eggs—thirty eggs per carton—and two hundred cartons of quail eggs—fifty per carton. The cooked meat was limited, with thirty large wooden basins containing thirty cooked chickens, fifty cooked ducks, and over a hundred pounds of cooked lean meat.

"Master, it's late, and this is all I could procure for now," Xiao Ai explained.

"Understood. Continue ordering supplies. The Lake of Beasts now houses forty milk snakes and sixteen white foxes, all future intelligent species that consume a lot of meat. As the number of carnivorous intelligent species grows, we'll need even more," Zeng Shen instructed, transferring the cooked meat and quail eggs into his backpack space.

He handed a vacuum-sealed storage card to Xiao Ai. "This card is for vacuum-sealed storage, preserving items up to ten times longer. Find a hidden spot about a thousand square meters in Longshen New City and activate it by double-tapping the card's name."

"Yes, Master. I'll store the cooked meat and quail eggs there," Xiao Ai promised, carefully taking the card and placing it in her handbag.

"Let me know when the storage is full," Zeng Shen instructed before sparring with Xiao Ti to gain eight divine tier experience points. He then returned to his apartment with Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti.

Back at his apartment, Zeng Shen opened the portal to the divine realm, bringing Xiao Ai and Xiao Ti to the Lake of Beasts.

His arrival roused the sleeping animals, eager to approach him.

Zeng Shen quickly calmed them, encouraging them to rest as he had work to do. The animals obediently returned to their makeshift shelters, constructed by the intelligent mechanical caretakers.

Zeng Shen headed to the fox shelter, where he conjured a thousand-square-meter vacuum-sealed storage next to it. He then stacked the large basins of cooked food inside.

The sixteen white foxes, drawn by the smell of meat, gathered around Zeng Shen, their cries echoing.

"Yip yip yip."

Zeng Shen knelt by the lord-qualified white fox, speaking softly, "From now on, you're the matriarch of the Snow Fox group. I name you Su Daji. This area will be your fox village, Snow Fox Village."
