Acai's Sky

On the island beach, Ah Cai and his pets were playing around, but were scolded by Tong Jiayuan. He dejectedly crawled into a ball of white light fragments that he randomly clicked on.

[Ding, welcome to the special welfare plane fragment. Players can accept unlimited tasks. This copy has been transformed and will refresh infinitely...]

[Ding, players will receive random tasks.]

【Ding, there is no time limit for players.】

[Ding, I wish players good luck in fighting! ]

Ah Cai was stunned for a moment, "Oh my god, infinite refresh?"

Jin Yuanbao scratched his head with his little paw, "Well, let's try it first, and then the master will activate the [Summoning Order]?"

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, but the bluestone road was already crowded with vendors.

Ah Cai looked at what people were wearing on the street and instantly changed her robe into a torn shirt so that it would not be conspicuous.

Ah Cai wrapped her tattered cloak tightly and squeezed through the crowd.

The ancestral wooden sword at his waist would occasionally poke passers-by, earning them a few curses in return.

There were a few furry little guys in the cloth bag hanging around her neck - the lucky golden rat Jin Yuanbao was scratching at her clothes with his little claws, the mythical beast Bifang Fantian was flapping its wings on her shoulder, and the Xuanxuan Tuantuan was curled up in her arms, purring softly from time to time.

Ah Cai was spreading rumors everywhere, "Where can I get the mission?"

Jin Yuanbao also turned his head and asked, "Ask them one by one?"

"Sir, would you like some candied haws?" A hoarse voice sounded in my ears.

Ah Cai turned her head and saw an old man with a wrinkled face. In front of his candied haws stall hung a crooked signboard - "The Best Candied Haws in the World".

Ah Cai was about to shake her head when the old man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Little girl, have you heard of the Tanghulu Hero?"

Acai's eyes lit up immediately.

She just heard from the teahouse that there was a legend circulating in the martial arts world recently, that there was a mysterious master who loved to eat candied haws, and whoever could make candied haws that satisfied him would get his secret martial arts book.

But this hero's whereabouts are elusive, and few people have seen his true face.

"Is there really a hero who loves to eat candied haws?" Ah Cai was excited. This was the prelude to a mission.

"I have a clue here."

The old man winked cunningly, "But..." He stretched out three fingers and shook them.

Ah Cai gritted her teeth and took out the few copper coins she had in her arms: "That's all!"

She had just gone to the money shop and exchanged a lot of copper coins, but she had to pretend to be rich.

The old man took the money and said mysteriously, "The candied haws you want are not ordinary. They require three special ingredients—dancing glutinous rice, singing hawthorns, and glowing sugar crystals. Gather all of these, and you'll find him in the dilapidated temple west of the city."

Suddenly, a translucent task box popped up in front of Ah Cai:

[Main quest accepted]

Mission Name: Find the special ingredients of Tanghulu Hero

mission target:

1. Find the dancing sticky rice

2. Obtain the singing hawthorn

3. Obtain glowing sugar crystals

Mission Reward: Chance to meet Tanghulu Hero

Unknown reward: (chance to obtain peerless martial arts secrets)

Failure penalty: None

Just as Ah Cai was about to ask further questions, the old man's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! The urban management is here!"

He picked up the candied haws stall and ran away, leaving Ah Cai standing there stunned.

"Woc, in this ancient dimension, there are still urban management officers? Do they really think we are ignorant?" A Cai grinned.

There was no other way. For the sake of that peerless martial arts secret book, she just wanted to see what kind of martial arts secret book it was, and her curiosity was aroused.

A Cai had no choice but to bite the bullet and start looking for ingredients.

According to the information obtained, the dancing glutinous rice is sold by the rice merchant in the corner of the market, the singing hawthorn is found in the back mountain, and the glowing sugar crystals are in the treasure house of the richest man.

Coming to the corner of the market, Acai found the legendary rice merchant.

He was a tall and thin man wearing a pair of round-framed glasses, and looked like a teacher.

The lucky golden rat Jin Yuanbao in her arms suddenly poked its head out, its little eyes rolling around, as if it was full of curiosity about its surroundings.

"I heard that you have glutinous rice that can dance?" A Cai asked tentatively.

The rice merchant pushed his glasses and said slowly, "That's right, but I only do business with smart people. Let me tell you, I have three bags, each containing a different amount of glutinous rice. If you can guess the amount of rice in each bag within five tries, I'll give you the glutinous rice."

Ah Cai stared at the three cloth bags and swallowed.

The baby in her arms suddenly jumped out and rolled twice on the ground, as if cheering her up.

When Ah Cai heard this, she thought, this is not a difficult task. She could just use her spiritual sense to check it.

His spiritual sense instantly pierced towards the rice bag, but he saw nothing. His spiritual sense was directly blocked by the rice bag.

Ah Cai frowned, thinking to herself, "Oh my god, what's going on? This rice bag is actually spy-proof. How can I cheat?"

Ah Cai bared her teeth and began to ask the rice merchant tentatively.

"There are 100 pills in the first bag?" A Cai asked tentatively.

"It's less." The rice merchant had a blank expression.

"200 pills?"

"too much."

Just as Ah Cai was racking her brains to guess, the mythical beast Bifang Brahma on her shoulder suddenly patted her head gently with its wings and made a "chirp" sound from its mouth.

Acai suddenly had an idea and decided to change her approach.

After several attempts, when she finally guessed the answer correctly, she was already sweating profusely.

The rice merchant nodded with satisfaction and handed her a small bag of glutinous rice: "Remember, this glutinous rice will dance when it gets hot, so don't spill it."

[Dancing Glutinous Rice: Use this to double your dungeon experience, no side effects, and lasts for 10 days. (Note: The Glutinous Rice buff must be active throughout the dungeon!)]

At this moment, another reward box popped up in front of Ah Cai:

[Task progress update]

Completed goal: Find dancing glutinous rice

Current reward: Dancing Glutinous Rice*1

Remaining mission objectives:

1. Obtain the singing hawthorn

2. Obtain glowing sugar crystals

Ah Cai opened her eyes wide, "What the hell, isn't this a double experience card? Won't it make leveling up even faster in the future?"

Jin Yuanbao blinked his eyes and muttered, "Take this back to Grandma. If the people in the Novice Village had this sticky rice, they could just stay in the Novice Village and reach level 60 before leaving the village. They could become land immortals without any problem!"

Ah Cai nodded desperately. If she had this illegal thing earlier, she would have been at level 500 or 600!

...

After bidding farewell to the rice merchant, A Cai headed towards the back mountain without stopping.

It is said that there is a magical hawthorn tree there, and the hawthorns it produces can sing.

But this tree is guarded by an old monkey. If you want to get the hawthorn, you have to get past it first.

The dusk is like thick ink, slowly staining the Qingqiu Mountains.

A Cai carried a bamboo basket on her back and stepped on dead branches and leaves, moving forward with difficulty on the winding mountain road.

The mountain breeze, carrying moist mist, blew across her slightly damp hair, rustling the grass behind her.
