My game even includes ancient times

As the bow was about to be fully drawn, He Yu, who had been watching intently, noticed that He Shi's arm began to tremble slightly and involuntarily. His jaw muscles tightened, and his eyes were fixed intently ahead. Before the trembling in his arm could intensify, He Yu decisively released the bowstring.

The birch arrow transformed into a white blur, drawing a full arc in the air before embedding itself in the target. It then wobbled and fell to the ground with a "thud."

He Yu: "Pfft..."

He Shi froze as he lowered his arm, then looked up at Bai Yushen.

Bai Yushen's words of praise stuck in his throat, and he gave an awkward laugh.

[Bai Yushen: Hahaha, my bad, my bad. I didn't think it through. You don't have much arm strength, you should have used a softer straw target.]

He waved to the people opposite him, and the villagers who had been hiding far away since He Shi picked up the bow and arrow ran to the target, took the target down from the stand, and ran to them.

Bai Yushen took the heavy solid wood target and pointed to a small dot slightly below the bullseye for He Shi to see.

[Bai Yushen: Look, this is where you hit it.]

He Yu looked at the thick wooden stake with a slight scratch on it and finally burst out laughing.

He Shi's expression was also somewhat subtle. He rubbed his aching arm and tentatively asked—

[He Shi: Shall I try again?]

[Bai Yushen: Try, try more!]

He had someone change the target to a straw one and guided He Shi to shoot twenty or thirty arrows intermittently. By the end, He Shi was able to hit the bullseye with about one out of every three arrows.

The two practiced until 4:45 AM before finishing and going to the main kitchen for dinner.

Looking at the two figures with vastly different body types on the screen, He Yu shifted her position on the bed and subconsciously picked up a cup to drink some water. Only when she brought it to her lips did she realize that the water was already gone. Unbeknownst to her, she had been watching the two practice with great interest for more than three hours.

The alarm clock by the bed showed it was 11:12. He Yu, who had long ago made a rule to force herself to go to bed early, decisively turned off the game. After replying to the caring messages sent by Han Qi's family and Zhang Yushi, she turned off the screen and slowly moved to the bathroom to wash up.

By the time He Yu lay down in bed, it was almost midnight. She felt sleepy and quickly fell asleep with her head on the soft pillow.

The bedroom was dark with the blackout curtains drawn, and occasionally the faint sound of wheels rolling over the road could be heard from outside.

After an unknown amount of time, the phone screen lying quietly on the bedside table suddenly lit up and unlocked automatically. The game screen of "Jianghu Order" slowly unfolded. At the same time, He Yu, who was sleeping, suddenly frowned, and his eyes began to move restlessly under his thin eyelids.

He Yu slowly opened her eyes.

She stared blankly at the bare, simple bed frame above her, her mind momentarily blank.

Am I dreaming? Where am I?

Feeling the hard wooden bed beneath her, she slowly sat up and noticed that her attire was somewhat strange.

He wore a set of pure black clothes, like an ancient costume, with a waist belt tied around his waist and matching cloth bands binding his sleeves at the wrists. He looked quite clean and neat.

He Yu stood up and looked around at his surroundings. It was an empty ancient room. Apart from the wooden bed frame, there was only a round table and four bare wooden chairs on the open ground near the door.

He Yu looked around twice and felt that the door looked familiar. She walked to the door and tried to push the wooden door.

The door was pushed open silently, revealing a long street outside, deserted.

He Yu thought for a moment, then stepped out of the room.

The sky outside was just before dawn, and puffs of white breath rose into the air, making it seem very cold, but He Yu did not feel cold.

She began to walk aimlessly along the street, her heart pounding with each step, the subtle sense of familiarity growing stronger, as if some answer was about to be revealed—

Isn't this the street that Bai Yushen and He Shi strolled through in Huaiyang Town?

With her mind clearing, He Yu remembered why the room where she had just woken up looked so familiar—it was the game background for [Homestead]...

She smiled helplessly. How addicted must one be to dream of being transported into a game!

But since we've already dreamt about it, let's take the opportunity to explore more and see what's unique about this perspective in the game.

He Yu strolled around, looking at his surroundings as he went. When he turned the corner, he saw a small wonton shop that had already opened. Thick white smoke was billowing out of the window, giving it a very lively and down-to-earth feel.

He Yu strolled into the shop. The owner was wrapping wontons in the semi-open kitchen. Noticing someone coming in, he quickly looked up and greeted, "A customer so early! Please sit down and wait a moment. The wontons will be ready in about fifteen minutes."

He Yu responded and sat down next to the small wooden table. He secretly glanced at the boss's ordinary NPC model face out of the corner of his eye. It looked quite normal, without the eerie feeling he had seen on the phone screen.

The wontons were cooked quickly, a big bowl steaming hot, and they tasted pretty good.

He Yu ate slowly. During this time, two middle-aged men came in together and sat at the table furthest away from He Yu, glancing at her furtively every now and then.

He Yu felt a little confused. The clothes she was wearing weren't strange. Was it because she looked strange?

Feeling a little uncomfortable from being stared at, she quickly finished the rest of her wontons and got up to leave.

As soon as he turned around, the shopkeeper called out to him: "Sir, you haven't paid yet. It's twelve coins."

?

This dream is quite logical, but the problem is that He Yu doesn't have a single penny on him!

She stood frozen in place, suddenly realizing that even in her dream, she didn't seem to have the courage to dine and dash...

Two middle-aged male NPCs at a table in the distance had already started whispering to each other.

He Yu felt a tickling sensation all over her body. She turned her gaze and was about to speak when she suddenly noticed a small red dot in the lower left corner of her field of vision.

I rubbed my eyes, and the red spots were still there. I closed my eyes and opened them again, and the red spots were still there.

what is this?

The moment this thought crossed my mind, the little red dot flickered slightly, and then a very familiar list unfolded—

[Map], [Homestead], [Characters], [Quests]

In addition, there is a chibi-style figure at the very bottom labeled "Invisible," which is now a dull gray.

He Yu: "!!!"

What's going on? Why has this dream suddenly turned into a science fiction dream?!

The shopkeeper's suspicious and cautious voice continued in my ear: "Sir, you, you see this money..."

He Yu realized what was happening, stared at the several cursors in his field of vision, and focused his attention on [Homeland].

Sure enough, the next moment the [Homestead] opened up, showing the [Kitchen], [Storehouse], and [General Store]. He Yu clicked on the [Storehouse] and saw the familiar purse. Just as he focused his attention on it, he felt a weight on his left hand.

She looked down and, sure enough, it was that purse!

He Yu counted out 12 copper coins and handed them to the owner, then walked out of the wonton shop in a daze.
