Acai's Sky

Early in the morning, Acai woke up slowly from her sleep, but she always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something important.

She slowly sat up, looking at the sky outside the window with confused eyes, and her whole body fell into a dazed state.

After breakfast, Acai sat down at the desk and began to read and practice calligraphy.

After all, as a student who has not yet graduated, studying hard is the most important task at the moment!

However, when she thought of those Mohist scholars who were hailed as the best of the best, and the high-tech intelligent robots of the future, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Compared with them, Acai felt more and more incompetent and even began to doubt whether she was a little autistic.

She couldn't help but secretly complain, "Why compete with them? Do I deserve to be punished? If these smart people could live longer, perhaps the world would become a better place!"

Just then, a cheerful cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

"Ride on my little camel..."

Ah Cai readily accepted the video call invitation and greeted them with a smile: "Hi! Xiaoxian! Yingqi! Good morning!"

Xiaoxian on the other side of the screen said with a smile on her face, "Sister, I haven't thanked you properly yet! My grandfather's birthday party the day before yesterday was a huge success. You are truly a great contributor to our family!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiaoxian clasped her hands together and bowed repeatedly to Acai in the camera. Her appearance was extremely exaggerated, and people couldn't help but want to hit her a few times!

Lu Yingqi quickly put her face close to the camera and said happily, "We have a day off today, no military training! It's really rare!"

Upon hearing this news, Ah Cai was visibly stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Can we still have a day off for military training? Didn't Xiaoxian ask for leave the day before yesterday to attend her grandfather's birthday party?"

Lu Yingqi explained with a smile, "It seems like all the instructors have gone to participate in some kind of selection! So we'll postpone the military training for a few days!"

Xiaoxian also nodded repeatedly, expressing her strong agreement, and said with a sense of relief: "Finally, I don't have to wear sunscreen anymore. It's been causing me shadows these past few days!"

Lu Yingqi nodded vigorously as she listened to Xiaoxian's words. Suddenly, she remembered something and continued, "By the way, thank your chef for me. The pheasant was delicious. I can't help but drool as I'm talking!"

Ah Cai laughed and responded, "Eating more dungeon specialties is good for your health. The uncles in our village even brought back lots of fish and rabbits to eat!"

At this time, Xiaoxian also smiled and squeezed in front of the camera, pretending to complain to Acai: "You know, sister, my mother is going to your B&B to visit you! She hasn't even come to see me at school!"

Ah Cai looked at Xiao Xian in the camera and replied with a smile, "Welcome, why don't you come with your mother? There's no military training these days anyway!"

Xiaoxian's big round eyes widened as she said excitedly, "Of course, we'll go with you too! I've been wanting to visit your bamboo house for a long time!"

Lv Yingqi said to A Cai with a big smile on her face, "My mom even called me and asked me to buy her some more Taibai wine!"

Ah Cai stared at Lv Yingqi in the camera with great confusion, and asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, your parents bought a full 100 kilograms of Taibai liquor before they left. Did they finish it so quickly?"

Lu Yingqi curled her lips and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly, "No, they just love to show off. Not only did they treat everyone to a meal when they got home, they even had the audacity to treat others to [Taibai Liquor]!"

Then he added, "Given all the friends they've made, how could they possibly let go of such fine wine? Not raiding all the remaining wine would be a real treat for them!"

Ah Cai opened her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, "No way, 100 kilograms! You can't possibly drink it and take it at the same time! I remember that at the time, they used 50-kilogram buckets to make it easier to carry!"

Xiaoxian looked at the two of them and couldn't help but reveal a sly smile, teasing, "I guess it's because they live far away, otherwise the wine in your B&B would probably have been cleared out!"

Ah Cai shook her head slightly, a helpless smile on her face, and responded, "Now everyone can enter the dungeon, there are backpacks to carry items, and you can buy alcohol in the Novice Village! Who would come all the way here to buy alcohol?"

Lü Yingqi squinted at Ah Cai in the camera and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Why are you so confused? Your Taibai Liquor is much better than the one sold in the Novice Village! The quality and taste are completely different!"

Xiaoxian also looked at Ah Cai with a puzzled look, as if puzzled by her attitude, and said softly, "Ah Cai, you really don't care about anything! Your [Taibai Liquor] is really excellent!"

Then, Xiaoxian added anxiously, "Take my grandfather's birthday party last time, for example. The guests present were all experienced wine lovers, and they all praised your Taibai Liquor, which shows how high its quality is!"

Ah Cai was in a dilemma at the moment. She couldn't tell everyone that the wine and drinks were actually bought from the dungeon at the price of 10 copper coins per catty, right?

She couldn't even reveal the fact that she had purchased a million kilograms of alcohol in one go! This made her feel extremely embarrassed and overwhelmed.

Ah Cai thought for a moment and said, "Our [Taibai Liquor] is only sold at the B&B. Don't worry, don't worry about it!"

Xiaoxian said with a look of longing, "My sister has passed the test and can enter Wangyou City. You know, they are going in their real bodies this time. I heard that Wangyou City is full of spiritual energy and is very good for the body!"

Ah Cai asked in surprise, "Are the soldiers who enter Wangyou City selected through assessment?"

Xiaoxian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "They said they wanted steady people. They didn't choose any troublemakers this time. They were afraid they would cause trouble and get kicked out by the city lord!"

Lu Yingqi also nodded. "This is really a blessing for China. Don't you know that the international students in our school are asking around for information on how to get a green card?"

Xiaoxian laughed heartily, "It's already difficult to get a green card in our country, and it's even harder this time! I'm relieved to hear this news!"

Lü Yingqi also laughed and said, "Let me tell you, there are still many celebrities who want to get their citizenship back, but the embassy just says, 'Get in line!' It's so satisfying!"

Xiaoxian also said with a smile, "The senior students from our school who went to teach in the mountainous areas before burst into tears when they saw the professor in the Novice Village, saying that their persistence was right!"

Lu Yingqi also nodded. "That scene was truly heart-breaking. People who used to be so far away and might not even see each other for years, now we can talk every day through the dungeon system!"

Ah Cai also nodded. "That's right. The signal over there is bad, so it's hard to solve any problems immediately! Now we can add friends in the dungeon to facilitate communication!"

Lv Yingqi also said, "Our literature teacher here is still taking her students to teach in the Novice Village! It's really not easy for her students to travel across mountains and rivers to attend classes!"

Ah Cai smiled and said, "Isn't this a virtual online class? It really makes it more convenient for senior students to attend classes!"

A few people discussed what gifts to bring to the students of the senior sister in the mountainous area. "Pens and notebooks are donated every year. Why don't we buy some new clothes and give them a red envelope?"

Ah Cai thought that those children were all from the mountainous areas, but they were also very ambitious. "How about we buy their mountain specialties? We have backpacks anyway, so we can trade them in the Novice Village!"

Xiaoxian complained, "Why is there no recharge for this dungeon? Gold coins are so hard to earn!"

Ah Cai rolled her eyes. "You didn't see that there are people from different planes out there. It's just that we have the dungeon system translator so we can communicate. People from different planes use different currencies. Is it possible to top up?"

Xiaoxian stuck out her tongue. "Oh, it's because I can't make any money. You don't know that even the rich people here can't get gold coins, so many things can't be organized!"

Lu Yingqi disagreed, "Why can't we organize it? Wouldn't it be better to just give them currency in the real world outside the dungeon?"

Xiaoxian nodded, "They are collecting gold coins now, but we are all newbies, so we hardly see any gold coins!"

Ah Cai looked at the two of them and said, "Go and exchange it with the natives in the Novice Village!"

Xiaoxian rolled her eyes. "The natives only have a lot of silver coins, almost no gold coins. If you don't have something special, they won't even give out gold coins!"

Everyone laments that it’s so hard to earn gold coins…
