My game even includes ancient times

He Yu slept very well that night, feeling refreshed and clear-headed, as if he had experienced several hours of deep sleep. He couldn't help but sit up and stretch again.

As she got out of bed and drew back the curtains, the soft, warm morning sunlight streamed into the bedroom, and her phone, which was on the bedside table, rang with a notification that the task was completed.

He Yu walked over and picked up her phone to check.

Congratulations on completing the "Mythical Beasts Unleashed" quest!

Congratulations on receiving the following rewards: 150 Experience Points, 15 Silver, 1 Letter Paper, and 1 Carrier Pigeon

The game level has reached level seven. It takes 640 experience points to upgrade from level seven to level eight, and I'm still 580 points short.

It's estimated that I'll need to complete three or four more tasks before I can level up again.

He Yu casually ruffled her slightly messy long hair, suppressing her urge to immediately explore the game's new features, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up and changing my clothes, I went downstairs. As soon as I opened the shop door, a middle-aged man came in to buy something.

He stood on the clean floor, clenching his fists. He wore an old coat, his hair looked like it hadn't been cut in a while, with oily bangs hanging over his eyebrows, and unshaven stubble on his chin and around his lips.

He Yu asked him with a smile, "What do you want to buy? Right now, the store only has cookies baked yesterday. We haven't made bread and cakes yet, and they won't be available until at least noon."

The man glanced at He Yu, then quickly looked away and lowered his head: "Then let's buy cookies. What kind of cookies do you sell here?"

He Yu introduced him to the various types of biscuits on the counter.

He glanced at the items and pointed to the almond crisps on the far side, saying, "I'll take a pound of these."

He Yu blinked, took out a bag, and helped him put the contents into a container and weigh it.

When it came time to pay, the man pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, counted it for a while, and then handed a few bills to He Yu. After taking the bag from her, he walked away slowly through the door.

The guest was a bit strange, but He Yu didn't pay much attention to him.

Since opening her shop, she has encountered countless bizarre customers and is no longer surprised. This person is considered quite normal among them.

After a busy morning, He Yu carried freshly baked bread out of the workshop and put it into the refrigerator one by one. When she looked up casually, she saw the same customer from the morning again.

He stood in front of the dessert shop's floor-to-ceiling windows, his hands in his coat pockets and a bag of almond crisps hanging from his wrist, peering inside.

After meeting He Yu's gaze, the man's eyes flickered nervously. He hesitated for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked in.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of wind chimes, He Yu calmly turned on her phone screen, revealing a photo of herself and Han Qi that filled the entire screen. She placed it in a prominent position on the counter.

The man slowly walked to the counter, glanced at the various breads on it, and asked He Yu, "Which of these breads is more popular with young girls?"

He glanced at He Yu, then lowered his eyes: "A young girl your age."

He Yu frowned almost imperceptibly, then gave a polite smile and stepped forward to recommend two kinds of bread to him.

The man scratched his greasy hair and said blankly, "I'll buy one of each."

He Yu nodded and specially picked out two that looked even better for him.

When she handed the packaged bread to the man, she noticed that the bag containing the almond crisps was still the same as it had been that morning. The cookies inside were wrapped in paper and sealed with a sticker, indicating that no one had touched them.

After paying the bill, the man took the bread and left.

He Yu stood by the window, watching him cross the road and walk into another street until his figure disappeared into the crowd and was gradually out of sight.

What a strange person, but they don't seem to have any ill intentions.

He Yu shook his head, ate a simple lunch, picked up his fully charged phone, and opened the game.

Looking at Bai Yushen talking to He Shi in the screen, He Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had forgotten to change the time flow after logging off in the morning. In just one morning, nearly three days had passed in the game.

[Bai Yushen: Junior brother, this is a specialty of Haizhou, dried roasted fish. It smells delicious. Here, have a taste.]

Bai Yushen handed a paper package to He Shi.

After being away for a month, his skin had become noticeably darker from the sun, and when he smiled, his canine teeth looked dazzlingly white.

He Shi reached out and took it, glancing at the large bunch of identical paper packages he was carrying.

[He Shi: Third Senior Brother, how much did you buy?]

[Bai Yushen: I bought some for Master, Senior Sister, and a few other familiar villagers.]

[He Shi: Do you need me to deliver it for you?]

Bai Yushen: No need, Junior Brother, I can manage on my own.

As he spoke, he paused, glanced away from He Shi, and looked at the big tree at the entrance of the courtyard.

[Bai Yushen: I haven't seen Senior Sister since I came back. Do you know where she went?]

He Shi looked at his travel-worn appearance with surprise and asked without hesitation.

[He Shi: Ah? I thought Third Senior Brother came straight to find me after coming up the mountain. It turns out you went to Eldest Senior Sister's place first. Eldest Senior Sister went to Jinzhou to deliver disaster relief grain. Why were you in such a hurry to find her? Is something urgent?]

His expression was very serious.

Bai Yu Shen glanced down at him, her clear black and white eyes flashing.

[Bai Yushen: Cough, it's alright, it's not too urgent...]

He reached out and casually ruffled He Shi's hair, then held up a large bundle of paper packets.

[Bai Yushen: I'm going to deliver some dried roasted fish to the others. Junior Brother, you should go back first. I'll come find you this afternoon to practice archery at the training ground.]

He Shi nodded, and seeing Bai Yushen turn to leave, he reminded him with concern.

[He Shi: Third Senior Brother, if you urgently need to speak with Senior Sister, why not send a message through the Chu family? It will arrive quickly. Don't delay your important business.]

Bai Yushen's tall figure staggered slightly, but he didn't turn around and continued walking forward.

Bai Yushen: I understand, junior brother. Thank you for your... well, concern...

He Yu, watching from outside the screen, saw He Shi enter the courtyard with an expression of deep satisfaction, and was so amused that he couldn't straighten up.

Hahahaha!

This silly boy, the way he earnestly comes up with ideas with such a simple face is both funny and adorable.

Urgent?

Your third senior brother was indeed in a hurry to find your eldest senior sister, but it seems like nothing's wrong...

She happily shifted her perspective to follow Bai Yushen, watching him deliver the dried roasted fish door-to-door, then return to his own courtyard carrying his bundle and the remaining paper bag.

He Yu followed her inside.

Bai Yushen placed the bundle on the table and opened it. Inside, besides a few changes of clothes and some commonly used odds and ends, there was also an exquisite lacquered wooden box.

He picked up the box and looked around his spacious and empty room, finding nowhere to hide anything.

Finally, I carefully placed the box next to my pillow and gently patted it with my hand.
