Lin Xiaofan, an ordinary social worker or a senior game fan, lives an ordinary life. By chance, after staying up late working overtime or playing games all night, he witnessed two low-level monsters, Su and He, fighting in an alley for takeout. In the chaos, they were inexplicably bound to the "Book of Mountains and Seas Illustrated Collection and Social System".
This system can be called the "Artifact of Mountains and Seas". It can scan and identify living creatures, generate illustrations, and issue various ridiculous tasks that make people laugh or cry. The rewards often make people wonder if the system is joking.

The "Beast Milk (Unknown Variety)" and "Swift Straw Sandals (Defective)" included in the novice gift pack exude an air of unreliability.
When he first met the liar and blackmail beast, Lin Xiaofan was fooled into being confused. He relied on system loopholes and modern recording pens to barely conquer or record the illustrated book. After that, he discovered that elements of the Classic of Mountains and Seas were hidden everywhere in the city: the taxi driver might be Bi Fang, a one-legged bird, the proprietress of the breakfast shop might have Shu blood, and even the animals in the zoo were weird.
He gets to know a night watch intern who can see abnormalities (a foreshadowing of the emotional line), or teammates who are descendants of cheating mythical beasts, and embark on adventures together. When preventing beasts from polluting the city's water sources, disinfectant and a temporarily redeemable "Purification Talisman (valid for three minutes)" came in handy. Lin Xiaofan was also awarded the title of "Epidemic Prevention Pioneer".
As the sand sculpture tasks continue to be completed, Lin Xiaofan's strength increases, system functions are unlocked,...
