Having experienced so many primal shocks in a day, Lin Xiaoqian had no desire to stay downstairs, so she locked the shop and ran upstairs.

She had previously bought a projector online and placed it in her upstairs bedroom. She chose a heartwarming and comforting movie, and with a few bags of her favorite snacks in tow, she sat on the bed watching and eating.

I felt much better after watching the movie. I went to the bathroom to wash up and then lay down to sleep.

In his dream, Lin Xiaoqian dreamed that he pinned the wolves to the ground and beat them, one punch after another, until they were all bruised and swollen.

When she woke up, Lin Xiaoqian remembered the dream very clearly.

She suddenly remembered that she had drunk a potion of super strength, so she might not have been unable to fight off the wolves yesterday.

I was probably really scared out of my wits, otherwise I should have punched them a couple of times to vent my anger.

After throwing two punches into the air, Lin Xiaoqian got up and washed up.

After washing up, Lin Xiaoqian opened the curtains and pushed open the window, which was in a tree hole above the shop door.

Outside was a dense primeval forest, where unknown birds were chirping incessantly. In the early morning, there was a little mist in the forest, and the air was filled with the damp scent of grass and shrubs.

However, the air in the primeval forest is indeed fresh; taking a deep breath makes you feel completely purified.

I stretched in front of the window, watching the sunlight from the east filter through the branches and fall in dappled patterns on the ground.

Lin Xiaoqian was in a good mood and went downstairs to make a simple breakfast.

My cooking skills have improved recently, so I tried making two scallion, ham, and egg pancakes, poured out a bowl of rice porridge that I had set the blender to cook the night before, and cut up a plate of apples.

I carried the tray to the table closest to the door, and then pulled it outwards a bit if I felt it wasn't close enough.

Enjoy your breakfast while admiring the beautiful scenery outside.

The egg pancakes are soft and savory, while the rice porridge contains rice, yam, and corn, giving it a corny flavor. It's sticky, delicious, and good for the stomach.

After finishing breakfast and cleaning up the dishes, Lin Xiaoqian pulled up a recliner and placed it in the center of the shop entrance to sit down and bask in the sun.

I pick up my phone, open the novel I've been reading recently, play the audiobook, and then close my eyes contentedly, waiting for the guests to arrive.

This is a day of waiting.

No one passes by here anymore.

After closing the shop that night, Lin Xiaoqian sighed. There were still too few cavemen. She wondered if the Wild Wolf Tribe had helped her spread the word. She hoped her intimidation would work.

For the next three days, no one was seen, but a lot of birds and beasts were seen. Some wild animals ran straight into the shop, which startled Lin Xiaoqian. However, before they could cause any damage to the shop, they were stunned by the system.

Lin Xiaoqian threw it directly into the storage warehouse without any hesitation, experiencing the feeling of waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.

Two more days passed, and still no one came. With less than nine days left and only five bowls of braised pork sold, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

She asked the system, "System, what if I fail to complete the task?"

The system's voice remained calm and unwavering: "If the mission is not completed, the system will not be able to accumulate energy to take the host back to the original world. In that case, the host will be stranded in this world and face a punishment mission. Only after the punishment mission is completed can the system take the host back."

Lin Xiaoqian swallowed hard and asked, "What kind of punishment missions are they?"

"The system doesn't know because no host has faced a punishment mission before." In other words, previous hosts all successfully completed the mission.

Well, I wonder how the host that the system was previously bound to completed the task when faced with the primitive world. Did they have to go out and find guests?

Lin Xiaoqian felt a little restless. Actually, her electric scooter was stored in the warehouse, and she wanted to ride it out for a while.

But looking at the thick pile of fallen leaves at the entrance, I hesitated.

"Hey! Look, there really is a big tree hole here!"

"It seems that the wolf tribe really wasn't lying to us!"

A commotion gradually drew closer.

Lin Xiaoqian looked up at the shop entrance, her heart filled with excitement. Oh my, finally someone's here!

It wasn't just because of the mission, but also because she hadn't spoken to anyone for five days and was about to suffocate.

No matter what, she had to keep this group of people here and let them buy some braised pork before they left!

Lin Xiaoqian walked quickly to the store entrance, greeting the arriving customers with a big smile.

The group of people were startled when they saw the person who suddenly came out.

"Wow, there really is a female!"

Lin Xiaoqian took a closer look at the primitive people in front of him. There were men and women, about thirty or forty of them. There were too few people. It would be better if there were more!

However, Lin Xiaoqian was still very happy.

She quickly greeted them, "Are you here to exchange things?"

The group of primitive people looked at each other, and an older man spoke up: "We came from the Exchange Festival. We heard from the Wild Wolf Tribe that there's a large tree hollow here where a female exchanges food, so we came. Can you exchange things with us?"

Lin Xiaoqian quickly nodded: "I have some food here, please come in and sit down." As she spoke, she stepped aside to invite them in.

The group looked at each other, not moving. They could just exchange their items and take them out; why did they have to go into the tree hole?

No one knows what dangers lurk inside this tree hollow. What if it's a trap set by the wolf tribe? They have more than a dozen females here.

The same older man spoke to the tribespeople, saying, "I'll go in."

Then he took the initiative to step into the store.

The others looked at the older man with worried expressions.

Lin Xiaoqian looked completely bewildered. Why make a meal feel like a life-or-death situation? Why don't you come in and eat with us?

Ignoring them, I said "Sit wherever you like" and went to the kitchen to prepare braised pork.

The older man froze on the spot as soon as he entered the store.

Why is the inside of this tree hole like this? Shouldn't it be dark, damp, and smell of decay?

How come this place is so clean, bright, and dry, and there's even a pleasant fragrance in the air?

And what's inside this tree hole?

It's not made of stone, it looks more like it's made of wood, it's square and neatly arranged.

He touched this and that.

He even bit down on some parts with his teeth, which made his teeth ache.

"Whoosh!" A soft sound came from the kitchen, followed by a sweet aroma.

The older caveman went over to take a look, and his eyes widened instantly – it was fire!

It looks like this female is cooking.

There was meat next to her, but why was this female holding a dark, round thing on the fire, and why was she putting meat in it? Isn't the meat supposed to be roasted directly on the fire?

Lin Xiaoqian was focused on stir-frying the braised pork and didn't notice that someone was watching her from behind.

After transferring all the braised pork to the pressure cooker, Lin Xiaoqian turned around and saw the elderly caveman, and was immediately startled.

Lin Xiaoqian thought he was hungry, so she said, "The rice and meat will be ready in a little while. You can sit outside and wait for a bit."

The older caveman didn't speak, but turned and walked towards the dining table. Lin Xiaoqian glanced at the huge crowd at the entrance of the shop and asked, "Why aren't they coming in? Aren't they eating?"

The older caveman glanced at the doorway and, having determined that the female was alone in the tree hollow and posed no danger, waved for them to come in.

The crowd at the door had already been drooling over the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen. When the elder invited them in, they rushed in, filling the shop with thirty or forty people in an instant. Lin Xiaoqian invited them to sit down, and those who didn't have enough chairs sat on the floor.
