My game even includes ancient times

The changes to the game after this upgrade are more obvious than the last one. He Yu immediately noticed that there was a new [clock] function on the right side of the screen.

She clicked on it, and the screen that popped up was a simple clock, showing the time as 1:40, which should be the exact game time.

Below are two progress bars that can be toggled.

The progress bar at the top says "[During Game Time]", and the value displayed on the progress bar is 1.

The text below says "[When offline]", and the progress bar is full, showing a value of 10.

He Yu stared at the simple, even somewhat crude, picture for a while, and then roughly understood the meaning it conveyed.

She reached out and dragged the progress bar, setting the "Game Time" value to 10. Suddenly, the second hand of the clock above began to spin rapidly, and the minute hand also moved forward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She exited [the clock], and saw in the game screen that He Shi's movements seemed to have been fast-forwarded. He suddenly lay down on the haystack, and the speed of his chest rising and falling with his breathing was like the vibration of a tuning fork.

Sure enough, this progress bar is used to adjust the time flow between the game world and the real world.

A value of 1 indicates that the time flow in the game world is the same as that in the real world, while a value of 10 indicates that the time flow in the game world is 10 times that in the real world. If 1 minute passes in the real world, 10 minutes pass in the game world.

Similarly, He Yu looked at the progress bar for "When offline" and wanted to adjust it to 2, but found that the smallest value of the progress bar was 3, and it could only be adjusted to 3, 6, or 10. So he had no choice but to adjust it to 3 first.

She then switched the game time back to 1 and saw that the clock showed 2:15. She then quit the game.

Five minutes later, He Yu logged into the game, opened the clock, and saw that the time had reached 2:30.

Sure enough, the principle is the same.

He Yu smiled happily. With this feature, she no longer had to worry about He Shi getting into danger while she was offline and too much time had passed in the game.

Although three times the flow rate is still fast, it's still much better than ten times.

After exploring the delightful "Clock" function, He Yu enthusiastically began searching for other newly discovered features, but found nothing after looking around.

Does upgrading only add one new feature?

He Yu temporarily put aside his doubts and exited the game.

It's not even 3 a.m. in the game world yet. Since it gets light late in winter, the shops probably won't open until at least 7 a.m., which corresponds to almost an hour and a half in real time.

It's already past 2 AM in real life. Zhang Yushi will be back soon, and there are still a few ordered birthday cakes that haven't been finished. Even if she's engrossed in the game, she still needs to complete her work in the real world on time.

He Yu put down her phone, got up, stretched, and walked into the workshop full of energy to start working.

When Zhang Yushi returned, she saw that the woman was carrying a heavy baking pan with her injured hand, so she quickly put down her lunchbox and ran over to help.

"I'll do it, I'll do it. You need to be careful about your injury!"

After putting the baking tray into the oven and setting the time and temperature, Zhang Yushi grabbed He Yu's hand to check it, complaining as she looked, "Sister Xiaoyu, you should also take good care of your wound. Look, the medicine has been rubbed off. Doesn't it hurt?"

It did hurt, but He Yu could bear it, so she ignored it.

Zhang Yushi carefully wiped off the remaining ointment and applied new one, instructing her, "Don't rub it off this time. Applying it like this for a while will help it heal faster."

He Yu nodded obediently and repeatedly assured Zhang Yushi that she would take care of her wound. Only then did Zhang Yushi let her go and send her out to eat. Zhang Yushi then changed into her work clothes, washed her hands, and began to take over the rest of her work.

This afternoon was as busy as ever. An hour and a half later, He Yu took a break from her busy schedule to log into the game and go to the small pharmacy to buy some medicine for colds and give it to He Shi. Before she could even check on his condition, Zhang Yushi called her to get busy.

This work lasted until the evening.

Zhang Yushi leaned against the counter, drinking her cola and complaining, "Why are there so many people every day..."

"Since the students are on summer vacation, there are naturally more customers."

He Yu lay on the recliner, swinging her legs idly, holding her phone in one hand and tapping on the screen with the other, a strange, maternal smile on her lips.

Zhang Yushi glanced at her sideways. Something was off. Normally, this person would have collapsed on the floor, complaining of exhaustion, but today, contrary to her usual behavior, she immediately started tapping on her phone as soon as she sat down, looking quite happy. Could it be...?

"Sister Xiaoyu."

"Ok?"

"Have you started an online relationship?"

"Uh-huh?"

He Yu snapped out of her game, looking at Zhang Yushi with shock and confusion: "Online dating? Me?"

She pointed to herself with the index finger of one hand, her head full of question marks.

Zhang Yushi nodded: "Your behavior is very similar."

"I didn't, don't make wild guesses."

He Yu explained somewhat awkwardly, "I was just playing on my phone to relax."

"Ok."

After finishing the last sip of her cola, Zhang Yushi threw the can into the trash can, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go home first. You should get some rest too."

"Mmm." He Yu nodded, then lowered her eyes to look at her phone screen again.

Zhang Yushi changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and walked to the door. She saw He Yu's face again displaying that kind of kind yet slightly intoxicated smile. She hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Sister Xiaoyu, there's nothing shameful about online dating, but you must be careful that the other person isn't an ugly monster who's terrible in person."

"I really didn't have an online relationship..."

He Yu was both amused and exasperated, but she couldn't show the game to Zhang Yushi to prove herself, so she could only stare at her with wide eyes.

"I'm just worried you'll get scammed."

Zhang Yushi sighed wearily, shook her head, and went out.

This little girl isn't even twenty yet, but she acts all old-fashioned.

He Yu watched Zhang Yushi board the bus home through the window, smiled slightly, and turned back to continue playing her game.

It was already dusk in the game, the sky was getting dark, vendors were packing up, shops were closing, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.

He Yu first went to the pharmacy to buy external wound medicine and clean linen, and gave them to He Shi. Then he spent ten coins at the general store to buy five eggs, and made two bowls of soup with one egg.

The prepared egg drop soup is served in a white porcelain bowl, with strands of light yellow egg floating in the clear soup, which looks very appetizing.

She selected a bowl and gave it to He Shi.

He Shigang had just finished treating the wound on his knee. Although he didn't know how to bandage it, it was generally well-covered.

Over this period of time, He Shi had probably gotten used to all sorts of things suddenly appearing out of nowhere. So when he saw steaming egg drop soup suddenly appear in the clean bowl used to hold medicine, he only paused his movements slightly before slowly picking up the bowl.
