Acai's Sky

Acai happily followed a group of innocent children to the grocery store in Xiangshui Village.

As soon as she entered the store, she greeted the kind and amiable shopkeeper Tong with a smile on her face.

When Shopkeeper Tong saw the kids bringing Acai in, he shook his head helplessly, but a hint of concern flashed in his eyes.

He smiled and said, "Ah Cai, I heard you were coming a long time ago. I was thinking of visiting you at your house later."

When Ah Cai heard this, she felt very warm in her heart and quickly expressed her gratitude.

At this time, the clever Awen seemed to notice the shopkeeper Tong's worry and quickly explained: "Uncle Tong, don't worry, we didn't deceive Sister Acai. We agreed to help Sister Acai."

Xiao Liuzi beside him also nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement: "Yes, yes, we all contribute, and we will never let Sister Acai spend money in vain."

Shopkeeper Tong stared at Ah Cai, and when he saw her nodding in response with a smile, he felt a little relieved.

He secretly wondered if these children would go astray and end up in jail in the future.

However, seeing that Ah Cai was so kind and sensible, and thinking that there were sensible elders like her teaching in Xiangshui Village, I believe that these children will not make mistakes easily.

Ah Cai said to the children with a smile, "Okay, what do you want? Go and choose for yourselves!"

Then he raised his head, smiled gratefully at Shopkeeper Tong, and said softly, "With responsible parents like you guarding Xiangshui Village, it's really hard for children to make mistakes. The villagers here are very simple and honest!"

Shopkeeper Tong cautiously craned his neck, glanced over at Awen and the others, and said, "Ever since you adventurers showed up here, we've been particularly worried the children would imitate your behavior. After all, many adventurers' actions are truly awful, so generally speaking, we try to avoid too much contact between the children and adventurers. We're only relatively confident with you, Acai."

Hearing this, Acai looked at Manager Tong in surprise, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true.

Many adventurers, relying on their own strength, look down on the indigenous people and behave recklessly, which can easily influence children.

Shopkeeper Tong led Ah Cai into the inner room with a smile on his face, saying as he walked, "I recently got some stuff that you adventurers might like. Come and take a look."

Ah Cai nodded with a smile and responded, "Okay, the pills I bought from you last time really helped me a lot!"

Shopkeeper Tong lifted up an enormous sandalwood box with a smile on his face.

With a loud "Duang" sound, it was placed steadily on the counter.

Ah Cai couldn't help but rub his head, which was aching from the shock, and wondered to himself: Why do these shops always like to use such heavy wooden boxes to store props? It's really puzzling.

Then, Shopkeeper Tong gently opened the lid of the box and carefully took out the items inside one by one.

Cai opened her eyes wide, gazing intently at each treasure, her heart filled with joy.

Ah Cai looked up in surprise, her eyes fixed on Shopkeeper Tong, and asked curiously, "Where on earth did these advanced interstellar props come from?"

Shopkeeper Tong stroked his beard leisurely, a satisfied smile on his face as he replied, "Haha, these are all treasures I went through so much trouble to get in the capital! I wonder if you like them?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Cai was filled with excitement. Her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to express her love for these props: "Of course I love them! But... speaking of which, this is clearly a dungeon scene with an ancient background, so why are there so many extraordinary interstellar props?"

Facing Ah Cai's doubts, Shopkeeper Tong gently shook his head and explained, "Actually, these are treasures from some mysterious [Universal Treasure Bags] we got from the capital. Those people know nothing about these newfangled gadgets, so naturally, they don't know how to use them. Luckily, I was quick and collected all these goodies, ready to give to you, Ah Cai!"

Ah Cai gave Shopkeeper Tong a thumbs-up with admiration and exclaimed, "That's amazing! You're truly an eye-opener! If there are any more magical props like this in the future, please help me collect them all!"

Shopkeeper Tong smiled and nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Don't worry, Ah Cai. I don't know how they got these [Universal Treasure Bags], but I'm sure they'll be able to get more surprising goodies in the future."

Ah Cai was so excited that she started spinning around like a happy little bird. She knew very well that the country was currently committed to conducting in-depth research on such items. If she now had the real thing as a reference sample, it would undoubtedly greatly accelerate the overall research and development progress.

Shopkeeper Tong looked at the cheerful Ah Cai, a look of satisfaction also showing on his face, and nodded approvingly.

After all, anyone would feel extremely proud and satisfied if a precious item they have obtained through untold hardships can be recognized and appreciated by others.
