My game even includes ancient times

It was already 11:30 when I came out after taking a shower and drying my hair.

He Yu lay in bed, opened his browser, typed in the three characters "Jianghu Ling," and clicked search.

The first term that came up in the search results was:

Download the official version of the popular mobile game "Jianghu Ling"!

He Yu clicked on it, and it led to a download link that said "Jianghu Order," but...

She slowly frowned. The game icon for "Jianghu Order" was a stone token, not the one she had downloaded.

After she exited, she opened the game introduction again.

I discovered that this is a faction-based mobile game, and the company that developed it is a well-known game company in the industry that specializes in this type of game.

He Yu closed the browser, reopened the game rankings, and searched for "Jianghu Ling". The game that appeared was still the one with the token icon.

Undeterred, she searched again, but the search results still showed only that one lonely game.

Something is wrong, very wrong...

He Yu's brows furrowed more and more. She opened the application manager and scrolled through it twice from top to bottom, but she couldn't find that familiar black icon.

Her phone showed that the game was not available.

He Yu looked at the "Jianghu Order" sitting quietly on the table with complicated emotions.

It was arranged neatly like the other apps on her phone, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Is my phone infected with a virus? Or did a hacker install some kind of Trojan software on me?

He Yu's thoughts raced, unable to think of any special value he possessed that would warrant someone going to such lengths to install a virus disguised as a game on his phone, especially since this game was so fun and powerful...

Thinking of this, He Yu quickly checked her account balance and, after confirming that the value had not changed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the money is okay, it's good that the money is okay... everything else is secondary...

She tossed and turned in bed for a while, agonizing over the decision, before finally gritting her teeth and uninstalling the game.

Although it's hard to part with it, leaving something of unknown origin on my phone, even if it doesn't seem like a problem now, is still a potential risk.

He Yu mentally prepared himself, pressed the game icon, and prepared to uninstall it.

however……

Can't uninstall?!

He Yu tried several more times, and the icon trembled under her fingertips, but the uninstall option just wouldn't pop up; it stubbornly clung to the phone's home screen.

what's the situation!

He Yu jumped out of bed, staring in disbelief at the scene.

She hesitated for a moment, then opened her contacts and dialed a number.

After ringing three times, the phone was answered, and a resentful male voice sounded on the other end: "He Yu, calling me at midnight, you'd better really have something to say..."

"Senior brother, I'm really in trouble..."

He Yu recounted the somewhat bizarre situation, then sighed and said, "That's the gist of it. Please use your professional knowledge to clear things up for me..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by the sound of slippers scraping the floor, and then the sound of a computer starting up: "Wait a minute, let me analyze this."

More than half an hour later, He Yu hung up the phone in a daze.

My senior colleague used professional terminology and clear logic to analyze various possibilities for her over the phone, and finally concluded that the danger was not high and there was no need to worry too much.

Maybe it will be uninstallable after a while? If not, I'll take a look when I get back from my business trip.

These were the last words he said to himself to comfort himself.

This senior student, Han Qi, is four years ahead of her from the same university. He's now considered a big shot in the computer industry. If he says it's not a big problem, then it probably isn't...

Looking at the black game icon, He Yu decided to try uninstalling it every day, just like Han Qi said, maybe one day she would be able to uninstall it successfully.

As for now, He Yu pointed to the icon.

Let me see how well the task has gone!

He Yu is a person with a free-thinking mind and acts as he pleases, always doing whatever comes to mind.

She graduated with a master's degree from a top-tier university in China and could have found any job she wanted, but she chose to open a dessert shop in the city center, simply because she loved it.

Her mentors, classmates, and friends all tried to persuade her with great care, but none of their advice worked.

She received her graduation certificate and degree certificate the day before, and the next day she went to the city to look for a shop.

The renovation and training followed quickly, and in less than half a year, the dessert shop called Little Sweet Cookies opened.

I don't know if she has a real talent for making desserts, but her business has been doing very well since she opened the shop more than half a year ago.

He Yu opened the game, shifted to a comfortable position against the headboard, and thought to himself with delight, since there's no solution to this game for the time being, I might as well play a little longer, after all, it's really fun!

------

He Shi would look for work in the nearby streets and alleys every day. If he met a kind employer, he would save some food for two days.

The family he came to today was one he had chosen a couple of days ago. The owner was quite kind, and when he heard that he was looking for work, he didn't chase him away. Instead, he asked him to come back in a couple of days to clear the snow that they had piled up at the door and out of the alley.

The man who opened the door gave him a shovel and a wheelbarrow.

He Shi stretched his body and then got to work.

It was relatively easy at first. Although it was a bit tiring, he continued working slowly, thinking about how much food the family would give him as he worked.

Until the shovel struck something hard, his hand went numb from the impact, he bent down and saw that it was a solid block of ice.

He was a little hesitant, but he still picked up the shovel and started breaking the ice, determined to scrape it up no matter how much effort it took.

But at that moment, something truly chilling happened—

For some reason, the edge of the ice suddenly curled up, and then the entire piece of murky, solid ice suddenly lifted off the ground in front of him, before shattering into pieces and falling to the ground with a crackling sound.

He Shi was stunned. Before he could react, a pile of snow in front of him to the left suddenly split in two, and one half of it floated lightly into the wheelbarrow.

Seeing this bizarre scene before him, He Shi's mind went blank, as if he had lost consciousness.

With his limited understanding, he simply couldn't comprehend what was going on.

He wanted to run, but his body was completely frozen, and he couldn't move his legs at all.

Just then, the homeowner pushed open the door and came out. He seemed to ask him something, but he didn't hear clearly. He instinctively replied with a random answer, and then he snapped out of his daze and regained control of his body.

Seeing that the person had left, He Shi thought for a moment and then pushed the wheelbarrow out to clear the snow.

Upon returning, he stood nervously in place, looking around, trying to find the unseen person...

Perhaps, it really is a human?

He Shi recalled the stories of gods and monsters that the old beggar had told him long ago, and his heart pounded.

Fortunately, the owner of the house came out quickly and gave him a piece of bread.

But what happened next completely robbed He Shi of his ability to think.

He stood there, numb all over, helplessly watching the unseen mysterious person, or some kind of god or monster, who quickly cleared away the snow.

Then the wheelbarrow seemed to lose its support, and the handlebars fell to the ground with a thud.

The alley was quiet, with no more strange noises, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

But He Shi knew it wasn't an illusion.

He returned the shovel and wheelbarrow to the homeowner in a daze, took another piece of bread from the homeowner, and then dragged himself back home in a daze.
