Acai's Sky

Shopkeeper Tong carefully handed Ah Cai a small wooden box, only the size of two palms, and said, "I've taken a look at this, but I still can't figure out what it is. Ah Cai, decide what to do with it yourself!"

Ah Cai took the wooden box with a puzzled look in her eyes, gently opened it, and examined it carefully. Suddenly, her eyes widened and she exclaimed in surprise, "[Universal Capsule]?" Her voice was filled with disbelief.

Ah Cai was stunned by the scene before her. This kind of item that only existed in the interstellar world actually appeared in the life of the ancient copy!

She couldn't help but doubt her own eyes. Was it real? Or was it opened by that [Universal Treasure Bag]? Should she try to get a few herself?

Ah Cai thought of the efficacy of the [Universal Capsule] and could not help but sigh with emotion. This seemingly ordinary little capsule actually possessed such a miraculous ability—it could compress an extremely large object into a miniature form and safely store it within its capsule.

When these objects need to be used, just gently open the capsule and they will quickly expand back to their original size and shape.

This amazing feature undoubtedly greatly facilitates people's daily lives: whether it is heavy furniture or large electrical appliances, they can be easily stored in the universal capsule and then carried with you, saying goodbye to the tedious and laborious carrying work.

At the same time, since the items are compressed and stored in small capsules, it can greatly save valuable space resources and make the home environment more refreshing and pleasant.

Furthermore, the Universal Capsule has also proven its usefulness in many other areas. For example, in intense medical rescue situations or time-sensitive disaster relief operations, it can serve as an efficient and fast means of transportation, ensuring that critical emergency equipment and supplies reach their destination as quickly as possible.

Facing this miraculous capsule, which was only the size of a thumb, Ah Cai was trembling with excitement. She gently stroked the surface of the capsule with her slightly trembling fingertips, as if she could touch the infinite mysteries and powerful energy hidden within it.

Who wouldn’t want to own such an omnipotent [universal capsule]?

Ah Cai held the treasure tightly in her hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity, her thoughts drifting away involuntarily...

The box of [Universal Capsules] that Shopkeeper Tong handed to her was so mysterious and tempting. There were sixteen capsules neatly arranged in the box, and not a single one was empty. Each one seemed to contain endless possibilities and surprises.

You should know that this kind of high-tech product usually only exists in the science fiction world or the future interstellar era, but now it appears in this ancient copy full of ancient style and charm. How can it not be amazing?

Ah Cai couldn't help but look up, gazing at the smiling Shopkeeper Tong in front of her and sighing, "You are truly amazing! These are all cutting-edge items from interstellar technology! If you have any good things like this next time, please leave them for me!"

Shopkeeper Tong nodded with a smile on his face and replied, "Of course! Our village is now blocked by layers of checkpoints. Other adventurers can't enter at all. Only adventurers like you can set foot here. So if there are any rare and wonderful items, I will definitely think of selling them to you first!"

Ah Cai nodded happily, "How much currency do you need to settle the bill?"

Shopkeeper Tong took the abacus and began to calculate. "Just give me 11 gold coins. Next time I'll see what else their [Universal Treasure Bag] has to offer. I might be able to get it for you."

Ah Cai nodded and paid the gold coins to Shopkeeper Tong, "Oh, there are still a few toys for the little kids that haven't been counted!"

Wealth: Gold: 45, Silver: , Copper:

Shopkeeper Tong waved his hand. "It's only a few copper coins. Forget it. They took away all the toys and still didn't get a single silver coin."

After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Tong, Ah Cai led Ah Wen and the others to wander around the village. Before they knew it, they arrived at He Saozi's bun shop.

The hot and fragrant buns made the children salivate and their saliva kept flowing.

Seeing this, Ah Cai thought for a moment and said, "How about we share a bun between two people? After all, the banquet is about to begin, and we need to save some space for the delicious food!"

When Ah Wen and the others heard that there was a long table banquet to be enjoyed, they immediately became excited and shook their heads to refuse: "We don't want to eat buns, let's wait for the long table banquet!"

The other children also echoed: "Yes, there is a long table banquet where we can have a big meal, and we don't need to eat buns!"

So, the little guys unanimously decided to give up the buns in front of them and looked forward to the upcoming sumptuous banquet.

Ah Cai's face was filled with a bright smile as she greeted Sister He warmly: "Sister He, hello! How many buns do you have left? We are going to a banquet tonight!"

Mrs. He also responded cheerfully: "Oh, I'm just about to close the shop, and I'm going to go over and help. Why don't you come with me?"

Ah Cai nodded repeatedly in agreement. She stood quietly by, waiting for Mrs. He to close the shop.

After a while, Mrs. He finished the finishing work, and then led Awen and a few others towards the drying yard.

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

……

When the long table banquet was held, the villagers arrived at the drying yard early to help move the tables, chairs and benches.

As the sun sets, from afar, the drying yard is filled with long tables, like a long winding dragon.

Everyone lit torches and made a bonfire in advance.

A Cai asked the nannies to bring some big red lanterns, light them up and hang them on the lampposts in the drying yard.

The table was filled with various pork delicacies, the aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.

The long table banquet was filled with laughter and joy, and the atmosphere was very lively. Smiling faces shone under the lights, overflowing with joy and happiness.

The aroma of delicious food on the long table was mouth-watering. People sat around it, chatting with each other and sharing the little things in life.

Laughter, talking, and the clinking of cups intertwined to form a cheerful symphony.

Children were running around and playing among the tables, their innocent laughter filling the air.

The elders looked at them lovingly, with gratified smiles on their faces.

In this lively atmosphere, people seem to forget all their worries and enjoy this happy moment to the fullest.

The long table banquet is not only a feast of delicious food, but also a bond of emotional communication between neighbors, relatives and friends. It connects people's hearts closely.

Village Chief He, smiling and holding his wine glass high, toasted Ah Cai along with several other elders. "Ah Cai, thank you so much! We can once again taste the spiritual wild boar meat."

Old Yu agreed with a smile, "That's right! Nowadays, the crops we grow, the fish in the rice fields, and the poultry we raise all have some spiritual energy. Eating them regularly is very beneficial to the body!"

Mr. Bu, standing by, nodded in agreement and added, "We've even done some research. We heard that since you eliminated the wild boar demon, our area has been upgraded and the entire village is filled with spiritual energy."

Hearing this, Village Chief He couldn't help but sigh, "Although we can't grind dungeons here anymore like we used to, our villagers have definitely benefited from it. Ah Cai, thanks so much for helping us get rid of that wild boar!"

Facing the crowd's gratitude, Ah Cai quickly waved her hands and responded, "Ah, I'm just completing the task. It's just a small favor. Village Chief He, please don't be so polite!"

Village Chief He shook his head repeatedly, his tone full of emotion: "A Cai, I've seen a lot of those old adventurers, but most of them look down on us villagers!"

Old Man Bu beside him nodded in agreement and said, "Who says it's not true? You, Acai, are the only one who treats us like family."

At this time, Old Yu rolled his eyes and added with a grumble, "Those other adventurers who came here not only failed to bring us any benefits, but they always tried to find ways to destroy our place..."

Village Chief He smiled upon seeing this and patiently explained to Ah Cai, "Our village has been upgraded, and there are many things we need to understand. For example, this time, we learned that an adventurer threw a [Mutation Ball] into our Wild Boar Ridge, causing so many wild boars to mutate and become terrifying wild boar spirits."

Old Man Bu followed up on Village Chief He's words and continued, "That's tens of thousands of wild boar spirits! If all of them mutate completely, I'm afraid Xiangshui Village will face a catastrophe!"

Hearing this, Ah Cai couldn't help but be so surprised that her jaw almost dropped: "You actually found out all these things?"

She muttered to herself that although these villagers looked ordinary on the outside, they actually had keen observation skills and a wide range of information sources.

Village Chief He nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval: "Those who came to set up carriage shops are very well-informed and are very envious of our village."

Old Yu sighed deeply and said, "They say there was a village before ours that created a dungeon zone, but it was severely damaged by adventurers, and the entire village was tragically killed by monsters. They only went to kill monsters to earn more merit points."

Old Cloth immediately chimed in, "They're desperately trying to gain merit, but it's causing great harm to everyone in the village. This isn't merit at all; it's simply a sin!"

Ah Cai felt helpless after hearing this, wondering how these people had even entered the dungeon. If such unscrupulous people could actually become dungeon players, wouldn't the indigenous people have no chance of survival?

Tong Jiayuan looked at the angry crowd and said in a heavy voice: "These people will do anything to achieve their goals..."

"Acai, if you encounter such people in the dungeons you go to in the future, you must not be merciful and must never let them go!" Tong Jiayuan stared at Acai and said earnestly.

Ah Cai looked at him, nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "What will the copies of the future be like? No one knows!"

Tong Jiayuan smiled and said, "It's most likely a pioneering dungeon, that is, to explore those fragments of the world that have just been recovered."

Ah Cai was dumbfounded when she heard this. How much did they think of her? But, pioneering is not a bad idea!
