Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Mu Xue's curiosity was aroused by the bustling scene in front of her. She squeezed forward and finally arrived at the front desk.

Right in front of the front desk, a huge wooden notice board is particularly eye-catching. There are many serial numbers densely arranged on it. Each serial number corresponds to a task and the corresponding points reward.

"258. Receiving visitors - 5 points/day." This task sounds easy, but the pay is really low.

"270, Help take care of pets - 10 points/day" may be a good choice for people who like small animals;

"291. Help move goods - 15 points/day." Although it is hard work, the points are relatively generous.

Mu Xue's eyes quickly swept across the notice board, and she soon discovered that the order of these tasks seemed to be irregular. They were neither arranged according to increasing difficulty nor according to the generosity of rewards. They were most likely listed in the order of release. There were a total of 300 task serial numbers, which was dazzling.

There was already a long line at the front desk. Everyone in the line was holding a token tightly in their hands, with a look of anticipation and nervousness on their faces.

Mu Xue did not go to queue up, she just stood aside and observed quietly.

When it was their turn, the people in the queue carefully placed the token in their hand into the groove in front of them, and then slowly placed their hand on the raised wooden hemisphere on the edge of the groove, closing their eyes tightly, as if they were performing a solemn ceremony.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, the surrounding noise gradually faded away, and everyone held their breath, staring at the person who was operating.

After a while, a task number on the notice board quietly disappeared. The man then slowly opened his eyes, picked up the token, and left contentedly.

Mu Xue looked at it for a long time, thinking in her heart that the tasks here, which have high rewards, are often extremely difficult, and she is simply not capable of completing them with her current abilities; and the points given for simple tasks are pitifully small, which cannot meet her needs at all.

What’s worse is that those slightly simpler and more cost-effective tasks will be snatched up instantly as soon as they are released, and it will never be your turn.

It seems that earning points by taking on tasks is simply not feasible.

After leaving the mission release area, Mu Xue went to other places and after some exploration, she gradually came up with an idea.

Yes, just make your own ice cubes and sell them!

This is a good business that is sure to make money. As long as I can make enough ice cubes, I can make a lot of money. Then I can ask Yu Yao to cook for me every day.

When Mu Xue thought of the food cooked by Yu Yao, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and her heart was full of anticipation.

Thinking of this, Mu Xue couldn't wait to go back and prepare.

But as soon as she took a step, she realized a big problem - she was lost.

This place is so complicated that she has long forgotten the way here.

She walked back and forth in the streets and alleys for a long time, but still couldn't find the way back.

The sun gradually rose higher, and the scorching sunlight shining on her body made her more anxious.

Just when Mu Xue felt desperate, she was lucky enough to meet the two sisters Jiang Hu Meng and Jiang He Meng.

The two sisters were very enthusiastic. After listening to Mu Xue's request for help, they not only patiently pointed out the direction for her, but also worried that she would not remember it, so they personally took her for a walk.

With the help of the two sisters, Mu Xue finally found the way back.

After returning to her room, Mu Xue fell headfirst onto the bed. After resting for a while, she sat on the bed and began to practice.

She knew very well that only by constantly improving her own strength could she survive better in this world.

The time spent in cultivation always passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was noon.

"Knock knock knock", a series of knocks on the door woke Mu Xue from her cultivation.

She got up and opened the door, and found Ziyuan standing at the door.

"Here, look, this is the token that records your mission points. Be sure to hold on to it!" Ziyuan said as he handed the token to Mu Xue. "Even though you can get a replacement if you lose it, you won't be able to recover the mission points inside. This is extremely important to us, so we must not be careless."

Mu Xue took the token and saw a striking word "Medicine" engraved on it, which was shining faintly under the sunlight.

Mu Xue took the token handed to her by Ziyuan, her eyes lingered briefly on the token engraved with the word "Medicine", and then she put it directly into her storage space.

Holding the token was like holding the key certificate to make it in this world, heavy and full of unknown weight.

"Your token now has 100 points of initial start-up capital. This is all they gave you. You have to use it sparingly!" Ziyuan's tone was full of concern, and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was worried about Mu Xue's future livelihood. "By the way, if you want to eat, you can go to Yun Yuyao. I can't help you with anything else. If someone bullies you, you can come to me!" After speaking, Ziyuan patted Mu Xue's shoulder, turned and left. Her back gradually walked away in the dim corridor and soon disappeared around the corner.

Mu Xue was very obedient. As soon as Ziyuan left, she turned around and walked towards Yun Yuyao's room.

Along the way, the meals cooked by Yun Yuyao emerged in her mind. The memory of those delicious flavors dancing on her tongue became clearer and clearer, and her pace unconsciously quickened.

After a while, Mu Xue arrived at Yun Yuyao's door.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door, once, twice, but there was no response from inside.

Just when she was feeling disappointed and was about to turn around and go back, the door of Yun Yuyao's room slowly opened automatically, and at the same time, Yun Yuyao's familiar voice was heard: "It's Mu Xue, please wait in the room for a while, I'm outside now! I'll be back soon!" The voice was crisp and pleasant, as if it carried a magical power, which instantly dispelled the disappointment in Mu Xue's heart.

Seeing that the other party had already invited her, Mu Xue no longer hesitated and simply walked into the room to wait.

The interior of the house was simple and warm. Mu Xue walked straight to the dining chair and sat down slowly.

She did not practice as usual, but lay quietly on the table, her eyes a little blank, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Maybe he was thinking about how to earn points by selling ice cubes, or maybe he was looking forward to the delicious food that was about to be served.

Time passed minute by minute, and the room was very quiet, with only the occasional bird song outside the window breaking the tranquility.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yun Yuyao came back.

She pushed open the door and saw Mu Xue lying on the table. A smile unconsciously appeared on her usually cold face. In her eyes, Mu Xue looked extremely cute.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Yun Yuyao asked softly, with a hint of tenderness in her voice.

"Eat." Mu Xue answered directly, with a hint of urgency in her tone.

"Let's eat! Okay, wait for me to cook for you." Yun Yuyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, turned around and walked towards where the kitchen utensils were.

She thought Mu Xue would just sit quietly and wait for the food to be served as she did before, but this time it was beyond her expectations.

"I will give you points. I can earn points by selling ice cubes." Mu Xue suddenly said, her tone full of determination.

Yun Yuyao stopped and looked back at Mu Xue. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she showed a relieved smile: "Okay, when you earn points, don't be stingy."

After she finished speaking, she began to prepare the ingredients. The sounds of chopping vegetables and pouring oil gradually rang out in the kitchen. After a while, the aroma of food filled the air.
