My game even includes ancient times

He Shi slowly finished the bowl of hot soup. After performing his daily kneeling ceremony, he leaned against a sheltered spot to continue treating the injury on his wrist.

He Yu stared into thought as he looked at the "Moderately Cold" status in his profile.

After recovering from the cold, the reward for another task arrived in my account: a new winter coat, a fine linen cloak in the same color as my cotton-padded coat, which looked thick and windproof.

However, He Yu could no longer give it directly to He Shi.

The saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." The two sheepskin coats he had previously acquired had already attracted the covetous eyes of other beggars. If He Shi were to suddenly have a whole set of brand-new warm clothing on him now, it's hard to guarantee that some trouble wouldn't arise.

You should know that the vendors and shopkeepers on this street don't have a good impression of him at all; they probably wish he would get into trouble and disappear from the streets.

That is to say, it is relatively easier to get food here, otherwise He Shi would probably have moved away long ago.

Perhaps it's time to take him away from this remote mountain county and live somewhere else.

However, when He Yu opened the map, the large area of ​​blank gray space puzzled him.

She didn't have a map of the outside world. Judging from He Shi's character introduction, it wasn't hard to guess that he was also a country bumpkin who had never left the country.

I don't know if it's safe outside the county town. Are there wild animals or bandits around? If I get lost in the wild and can't find the next town to stay in, that would be dangerous.

We still need to take a long-term approach.

He Yu looked around and saw that no one was on the street, so he picked up the broken pieces and continued to build a windbreak for He Shi.

He Shi paused in his work of wrapping the hemp cloth, then continued as if nothing had happened.

He Yu was focused on building the wall and didn't notice He Shi's furtive glances at the tattered winnowing baskets and broken planks flying everywhere. His gaze was focused and reverent, shining brightly in the night.

The next morning, He Yu overslept again because she had stayed up all night playing games...

In the following days, she was busy with the shop while playing games in her spare time. Apart from taking care of He Shi, she would wander around the county town map at random, looking for a way to safely leave and go to the next town.

The shelves in the [General Store] were refreshed once during this period, and the following items were available:

[Toothpaste *1]

【Tencel Brocade Hairband *1】

[Sharp Dagger *1]

[Slippers *1]

[Stinky tofu *1]

Whole wheat bread *1

After completing the last mission, He Yu's savings suddenly increased significantly. After deducting the 80 coins spent on medicine and eggs, he had a total of 148 copper coins.

She bought the toothbrush and cotton scarf from the general store, and along with the noodles and eggs she bought in the past few days, she spent a total of 55 copper coins, and now she has 93 copper coins left.

Not too much, not too little, after much deliberation, He Yu finally only bought toothpaste, spending 15 copper coins.

What she really wanted to buy was a dagger, so she could give it to He Shi for self-defense.

But that seemingly simple dagger actually costs two taels of silver, which would be a full 2000 copper coins if the game's currency system were similar to that of ancient times.

Can't afford it, can't afford it.

The items refreshed in the General Store this time are really expensive. The dagger is one thing, but even her second favorite item, the Silk Hairband, costs 300 copper coins.

That headband was indeed beautiful. It was a light, pale blue color, and I don't know what kind of weaving technique was used, but the two ends extended smoothly with delicate orchid patterns. The fabric was soft and had a gentle sheen.

He Yu could already imagine what He Shitou's hair would look like after it was straightened and tied up with this cloth, but it cost 300 copper coins for such a short strip of cloth, only two fingers wide, and it was so expensive...

He Yu looked on resentfully, and after a long while sighed, "Forget it, it's not its fault that it's expensive, it's my fault. My mistake is that I'm too poor."

We need to work hard to complete our tasks and earn money!

However, for five consecutive days, almost half a month had passed in the game, and no new tasks appeared.

That evening, after seeing off the last customer, He Yu quickly closed the shop, cleaned up, took a quick shower, and went to bed early.

Open the game and take a look at the clock; it's 7:10 AM.

He Yu skillfully located He Shi on the map; he was squatting in a corner of a deserted alley, brushing his teeth.

After spitting out the foam in his mouth, He Shi picked up the bowl, took a sip of water, tilted his head back and gurgled for a while, then spat out the water. He took another sip, gurgled again, and spat it out.

Then he rinsed his toothbrush, wiped his mouth, covered the suspicious foam marks on the ground with dirt, and walked out of the alley as if nothing had happened.

He Yu watched his actions with satisfaction and nodded approvingly.

A few days ago, when He Shi was learning to brush his teeth for the first time, he not only swallowed all the toothpaste, but also gagged several times, so much so that tears welled up in his eyes.

He didn't understand why he had to torture his mouth with a brush, but it was something the gods had made him do, and the gods must have their own reasons for doing so.

He Shi made up his mind and gritted his teeth to continue brushing his teeth every morning and evening.

Unexpectedly, he got more and more used to it, and today he can brush his teeth very skillfully.

A few days ago, He Shi moved from Beishang Street to an unnamed alley in the west of the city. Because it was close to the suburbs, only two families lived in this dilapidated alley, both at the entrance of the alley.

He Shi moved to the end of the alley, and He Yu helped him rebuild a small shack with a roof. Although it was still drafty, it was much better than before.

After moving in, He Yu gave He Shi a rather inconspicuous cloak so that he could use it as a blanket at night, so that he wouldn't be left with only a cotton coat and feeling cramped.

Upon He Shi's arrival, both households pretended not to see him, keeping their doors tightly shut and hurrying in and out, as if afraid he would come knocking on their doors to beg.

He Yu was eager for them to ignore He Shi, so that he could do more things without anyone noticing.

He Shi seemed oblivious to them, going out at sunrise and returning at sunset every day. Even with He Yu's help, he still insisted on finding work to earn a living every day.

He Shi returned to his small home and hid his toothbrush, toothpaste, and bowl in a chipped wooden box under a haystack.

There was also half a bag of crystal gummies in that box. He Shi couldn't bear to eat them, so he only ate one a day.

Lying on his tattered cotton coat spread on the surface of the haystack at night, He Shi would pick out a piece of his favorite color from the paper package, put it in his mouth, chew it, and savor it. His expression was one of satisfaction and happiness, as if he were eating some rare delicacy.

Seeing this, He Yu felt a little regretful. If she had known he liked it so much, she would have bought more.

However, the [General Store] will refresh again at midnight tonight. Let's see if there are any delicious snacks this time. If there are, I'll buy some more for He Shi.

Kids always have a sweet tooth, so parents can't be stingy.

He Shi put his things away, checked the haystack, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, turned around and went out to look for work.

He Yu opened the map, preparing for a routine patrol, when suddenly the long-awaited mission notification sound rang out. He Yu was startled, but his half-open eyes lit up, and he excitedly clicked on the [Mission] icon.

As He Yu browsed the newly appeared mission information, his expression gradually became serious.
