My game even includes ancient times

Seeing that Bai Yushen was about to take off his clothes and take a bath, He Yu left his room.

She casually lingered the game view on the training ground, opened the [Storehouse], and prepared to check the [Carrier Pigeons] and [Letters] that were the rewards for this mission.

He Yu was stunned when she saw the bird in the cage on the shelf.

She even suspected that she had been playing games for too long and might be having eye strain, so she rubbed her eyes and opened them again, but ah, they were still the same.

On the shelf was a common metal birdcage. Inside, a black bird stood on the crossbar, its eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

"..."

He Yu fell silent.

Is this a carrier pigeon?

Isn't that a crow?!

Speechless, she reached out and poked the cage containing the crow. The crow seemed to be startled awake and snapped its eyes open.

Wow.

It's a red-eyed crow.

He Yu read the text aloud in his mind without any expression.

The raven-red eyes blinked, and seeing that no one was disturbing it anymore, it closed its eyes again and continued to sleep, looking very aloof.

He Yu smiled, staring at the screen and muttering to herself, "So aloof? Then you can be called Ah Leng from now on."

Seeing that A Leng was sleeping soundly, He Yu stopped worrying about why the carrier pigeon the game gave him was a crow. After all, from another perspective, a crow was much cooler than a pigeon.

She used the "Identify" function, selected A Leng, and a message instantly popped up on the screen—

【'Carrier Pigeon': Who says a carrier pigeon has to be a pigeon? A crow that can deliver messages without getting lost is also a good carrier pigeon (immune to a certain level of attack, enhanced speed, enhanced strength, enhanced sense of direction, and can be recalled at any time)】

[Buyback Price: Gold * 9.9]

The buyback price is so high??

That's equivalent to 9900 taels of silver!

He Yu blinked. Goodness, had he struck gold?

Seeing this, she felt embarrassed to disturb the valuable carrier pigeon's sleep any longer, and instead shifted her gaze to the letter beside the birdcage.

Compared to carrier pigeons, letter paper looks much more normal.

A stack of neatly square A4 papers with evenly spaced vertical red lines on them.

He Yu used the [Appraisal] function again.

['Letter paper': The most common type of letter paper sold in bookstores, 100 sheets in total, each sheet can hold 100 characters.]

[Buyback Price: 10 Silver]

Looking at these excellent attributes, He Yu was overjoyed.

With this, you can now communicate with game characters without any problems. As for that sticky note that can only hold 10 characters...

Forget it, just don’t mention it.

After reviewing the new task rewards, He Yu began looking for the new features the system had given him after the upgrade.

As expected, she didn't find it.

After reaching level six last time, there were no new features in the game, and there are none this time either.

He Yu frowned slightly. Could it be that the level 5 reward was too harsh, and they didn't give any more rewards in the subsequent levels?

Although she was a little disappointed, she didn't dwell on it for too long.

After all, it allows you to directly experience holographic games, so even if you have to trade a few ordinary small features for it, it's still a very worthwhile deal.

People shouldn't be too greedy.

He Yu smiled and closed the dialog box on the screen, revealing the martial arts training ground that had been covered up below.

On the spacious training ground, there weren't many villagers practicing martial arts freely; everyone was doing their own thing. However, in one of the open spaces, Chu He was still practicing his sword.

He Yu opened the clock and looked at it.

It's already 2:50 PM.

The sun is at its strongest at this time of day.

Chu He was wearing a fitted light blue narrow-sleeved outer shirt. The thin fabric was already soaked with sweat, clinging to his body half-dry and half-wet. With each swing of his sword, beads of sweat gathered on his chin were flicked away, splashing onto the ground with a "plop" and quickly drying in the sun without leaving a trace.

Chu He seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed ahead, as he raised the tip of his sword again and repeated the sword move he had practiced thousands of times.

off screen.

He Yu had a smile on his face the whole time. Watching Chu He practice swordsmanship, he seemed to see himself again, the one who stayed up all night doing practice problems. Young people, they really have a lot of energy.

She sighed wearily, placed her phone face down on the coffee table, and got up to greet the guest who walked in.

Therefore, she did not see that the moment she put down her phone, Chu He's smooth sword move suddenly faltered.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly looked up, his cold eyes, filled with murderous intent, abruptly turning towards the screen.

------

"Master."

After washing and grooming herself, Bai Yushen changed into clean clothes and stood upright in the courtyard, bowing to Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng waved his hand at him and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Third Brother, come and sit down."

Bai Yushen took off his shoes and walked into the corridor, only to find that on the small mahogany table, instead of the familiar tea set and clay stove, there was a stack of account books and several invitations.

He hesitated for a moment, but still sat down cross-legged as instructed.

Chu Zheng rubbed his temples and asked him calmly, "Has the matter in Haizhou been resolved?"

Bai Yu nodded deeply: "Yes, Master."

He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Chu Zheng: "This is what Chief Wu asked me to bring to you. He said it was to thank the Chu family for their help during this crisis. He assured us that they would be there whenever we needed them."

Chu Zheng glanced at the thick envelope, covered his eyes with a headache, and said weakly, "Just put it there for now, I'll rest and then look at it."

"Oh."

Bai Yushen placed the letter on top of the several invitations haphazardly tossed on the table. His eyes immediately fell on the top one, its exquisite bright red cover bearing three large characters written in gold ink—

Heyang School.

Below is a small seal, which is the ancient form of the character "阳".

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "An invitation from the Heyang Sect? What are you inviting Master to do there?"

Chu Zheng reached under the table and retrieved a steaming cup of tea. As he slowly sipped it, he said leisurely, "That old bastard Zhong Heshan is getting married to his fourth son on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month."

Bai Yushen was taken aback: "If I remember correctly, his fourth son is only fourteen this year, right? Why is he getting married so early?"

Chu Zheng savored the sweet aroma of the new tea, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he gestured to Bai Yushen, "Take a look for yourself."

Bai Yushen picked up the invitation and opened it; inside was another large red letter.

He read it quickly and suddenly understood.

"This isn't a celebration for his son; it's just a disguised gathering of heroes."

Chu Zheng said, "That's right. Moreover, the letter specifically mentioned Xiao Wu's name, saying something like, 'I heard that Master Chu has gained another outstanding disciple, and I hope to meet him to see the young hero.' This hypocritical old man, I don't know what he's up to."

Bai Yushen was never good at these kinds of intricacies, and upon hearing this, she blinked somewhat embarrassedly: "Master, you've asked the wrong person. I'm not the eldest senior sister, so I don't know anything about these things."

Chu Zheng glanced at him and said, "I know you don't understand, I'm just saying whatever comes to mind."

"In a few days, when Yuan'er returns, we, master and disciples, will discuss it again and see who is more suitable to go." Chu Zheng finished his tea, picked up an account book on the table, and slowly opened it.

He flipped through a couple of pages, then suddenly felt a headache coming on again. He looked up and saw Bai Yushen still standing there motionless. He glared at him and said, "What are you sitting there for? Waiting for your master to invite you to dinner?"

"No, no," Bai Yushen stood up and walked quickly out without turning his head, saying, "Master, you've worked hard. I'll take my leave now."

Watching his three disciples' tall figures disappear quickly at the gate of the courtyard, Chu Zheng laughed and cursed, "That fool."

Then he lowered his eyes to look at the account book in his hand, and after a long while, he sighed: "Yuan'er, if you don't come back soon, your old bones will soon be unable to bear it."
