My game even includes ancient times

【Task 1: The Nighttime Legend of Yuanshan County】

[Mission Description: A young woman's personal belongings are stolen, a septuagenarian is brutally murdered, and a shadowy figure leaps across rooftops under the moonlight—is it a elusive thief or a young swordsman wandering the world?]

[Mission Requirements: Find out the truth and ensure He Shi's safe escape.]

[Quest Completion Rewards: 55 Experience Points, 3 Silver, 1 Sharp Dagger, 1 Shelf Slot]

The rewards for this mission are amazing!

The game seemed to have mind-reading abilities, immediately providing He Yu with the [Sharp Dagger], a weapon she had always wanted but couldn't afford.

However, compared to the previous tasks, the description of this task is somewhat vague.

He Yu took out a notepad and pen from the bedside table drawer and wrote down the words "a dark shadow flying over the eaves and walls under the moonlight" under the lamplight. Then he wrote "young girl" and "seventy-year-old man" on the right side, and marked "personal belongings" and "life" respectively.

Then enclose these two elements and write "time", "place", "reason", "method" and "result" after them to form a simple mind map.

Considering the mission requirements mentioning "protecting He Shi and ensuring his safe escape," He Yu guessed that these events must have occurred in the area where He Shi usually frequented.

After all, this would affect He Shi, thus requiring her protection.

He Yu listed the streets and alleys that He Shi frequented, opened the game map, and clicked on each one to look at them, while recalling what was special about these places or what strange things had happened recently.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, and all these places seemed very peaceful.

He Yu had no choice but to expand the search area, using the alley where He Shi was currently living as the center, and looking outwards in circles.

The process was so boring that He Yu's eyes got sore from watching it.

When He Yu clicked on a street in the south of the city, the pure white color that filled the entire picture made her stop.

This street is in a relatively prosperous location, and the residents are mostly people with some wealth. Although they are not as wealthy as the Li family, they are still much richer than the residents of other counties.

At this time, the Hu family at the street corner was holding a funeral, and white banners were hung over half of the street.

When He Yu entered the Hu family home, he saw eight or nine filial sons and grandsons kneeling in the courtyard, weeping bitterly in front of a mourning tent. The ashes of the burning paper money were swept up by the wind and blown everywhere.

He Yu zoomed in on the image and saw the words "Memorial Tablet of My Beloved Father Hu Gang" written on the memorial tablet in front of the coffin.

He Yu observed the people kneeling in the courtyard and found that there were young people and middle-aged people among them, all saying things like "Grandfather, may you rest in peace" and "Father, why did you die so tragically?"

He recently passed away tragically, and his age matched that of a "seventy-year-old man".

It's pretty much a done deal; we've found the right person.

He Yu suppressed the sudden urge to lift the coffin lid and examine the body, and began to carefully search the courtyard, hoping to find some clues.

After searching for a while, she found signs of a struggle in a main room on the north side.

Looking at the mark on the wall, more than a meter long and nearly ten centimeters deep, which appeared to have been made by a sharp weapon, and then at the bed frame that had been split in two and the smashed floor tiles, He Yu fell into deep thought.

What's the meaning.

Are there really martial arts masters in the game?

Although the game is called "Jianghu Order", He Yu already had a vague guess when he saw the very clear "task description".

But when she actually saw the traces left by this supernatural power, she still felt a little shocked, but more than that, she was excited.

Indeed, games with supernatural elements are more fun and richer.

He Yu is already looking forward to the storyline and gameplay after He Shi leaves Yuanshan County; it's sure to be very interesting.

Perhaps Hu Gang's death was too sudden, and the Hu family hadn't had time to clean up the house.

He Yu carefully examined every corner of the room and found a clue under the bed.

The large mahogany canopy bed was split in half, revealing a crack in the floor that had been completely covered.

He Yu moved half of the bed frame aside and found that one of the floor tiles there was loose.

She removed the brick, and sure enough, there was a space about half a foot square underneath, inside which was an exquisitely patterned metal box.

This is! !

In an instant, all sorts of martial arts legends, hidden inheritances, and relics of masters flashed through He Yu's mind...

My heart couldn't help but race with excitement.

What an unexpected windfall! If we give this to He Shi, we'll be set for life!

He Yu took out the box with great anticipation, turned it around and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

The box looked very heavy, and it was a single piece without any gaps. It didn't react when I tapped or knocked on it, so He Yu had no choice but to put it in the warehouse for later study.

I looked around the room again, but didn't find any other clues.

He Yu put the floor tiles and bed back in their original positions, and after leaving the Hu family's house, she looked for He Shi on the map, only to find that the green arrow representing him was pointing to the end of the nameless alley.

Why did He Shi go home so early today? It's not even noon yet.

He Yu jumped over.

He Shi was talking to a girl carrying a basket.

Strangely enough, after playing the game for so many days, this was the first time He Yu had seen He Shi interact with someone, and it was a young girl who was not very old.

With a gossipy heart that even she herself didn't understand, He Yu squinted and zoomed in on the image.

The little girl looked around and, seeing no one nearby, took a bowl of rice out of the basket.

The rice was topped with a few pieces of cabbage and a small pile of fried pork fat, piled up so high it was almost overflowing.

[Wang Xiaoya: Little brother, hurry up and eat, it won't be good if my parents see us.]

[He Shi: I don't want it, you eat it.]

Wang Xiaoya: I'm not hungry.

He Shi: ...

[Wang Xiaoya: Eat quickly. Your brother said you're too thin and will starve to death, but Mom and Dad won't let us give you any food. So my brother and I hid the leftovers from breakfast, and only dared to get them for you after Mom and Dad left.]

[Wang Xiaoya: Hurry up and eat!]

She was almost in tears.

He Yu saw the little girl's eyes welling up with tears, her lips pursed, and she stubbornly held the bowl up to He Shi.

He Shi stood there blankly opposite, his messy hair blown by the wind, revealing his downcast eyes.

This silly boy, all he does is stand there like an idiot, the little girl's hand is getting sore from holding it up!

He Yu poked He Shi's head with exasperation, wishing he could take over the job for him.

He Shi lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he finally raised his hand and took the bowl from her.

[He Shi: Thank you.]

The little girl stopped crying and started laughing. At the door of a house at the far end of the alley, a small head that had been peeking out as if looking in this direction swayed from side to side, and then a short boy walked out.

The young boy waved over.

[Wang Cheng: Little girl, come back!]

He Shi poured the food into his own bowl, returned the bowl to Wang Xiaoya, and thanked her again.

Wang Xiaoya, carrying her own bowl, ran to her brother's side, turning back every few steps. The two siblings then entered the yard hand in hand.

What an adorable child! Much cuter than those vendors on Beishang Street.

I knew it! How could all the NPCs in a game be bad guys? There have to be a few good guys too.

He Yu watched with a smile as the two little ones went home. Then, her gaze shifted and she saw He Shi staring blankly at a bowl.

What are you thinking about, child?
