Christmas and New Year 2025 Update…. Happy bonus update, you guys….
But at this moment, she was slightly stunned.
The candle in the room had been extinguished, and only a little moonlight reflected from the snow came in through the window. The little man in the game was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. His black eyelashes cast a dark shadow on his pale skin, but his left hand against the wall was tightly grasping something.
If Su Xi hadn’t looked at him from this perspective, she would never have noticed that he was tense and alert.
What was he holding–?
Su Xi tried to rotate the screen and zoom in on his left hand.
She saw that it was a dagger.
“What’s wrong with him?” Su Xi was stunned. She observed him for more than ten minutes but saw that he was still holding the dagger and had not fallen asleep.
He was on the defensive all night, as if he was on guard against anyone breaking into the house.
Su Xi looked at him, then looked at the extra tables, chairs and charcoal basin in the house, and suddenly realized something – could it be that the little man in the game thought that there was a thief in the house and gave these things to him for no reason, in order to harm him?!
That’s true. If a lot of things appeared in her house for no apparent reason, she would also be scared and call the police.
But, no, this –
Wasn’t this just a game?
Was this the way a game character should think? Shouldn’t he just use the new props without thinking?
Su Xi was once again stunned by the protagonist in this game’s flesh-and-blood thinking, which was almost like that of a real human being.
She was in a daze for a while and could only attribute it to the amazing planning of this game.
But since Zaizai was already extremely wary of her giving gifts, if she gave them again, Zaizai would probably be even more resistant.
Su Xi thought about it and moved the kettle, wondering if it would be possible to write on the ground with the water stains, writing the words “I have no ill intentions”.
But the system said: “You don’t have enough points, and you can’t communicate in this way at the moment.”
It was actually possible to communicate like this? Su Xi was delighted and asked, “How many points do I need?”
System: “At least 100 points or more.”
Su Xi was doused with a basin of cold water: “Forget it, it’s too far away.”
Su Xi gave up the idea for the time being, closed the doors and windows for her game character, and after making sure that no wind could seep in, she turned off the game and went offline.
Before going to bed, she took out the lottery ticket she had just bought and took a look. It was exactly the lottery ticket that would be drawn three days later.
Although she didn’t believe the nonsense about the koi fish that the system said, Su Xi didn’t throw the lottery ticket away. Instead, she solemnly put it in the book. Anyway, she would know what happened in three days.
During these three days, she had to raise her points to more than 10 as quickly as possible.
….
Su Xi took a nap, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to take out her mobile phone in a daze and open the game interface.
As soon as she opened the interface, she found two servants in the firewood yard. They said that there was a shortage of water in the back kitchen and urged her game character to fetch water quickly.
It was afternoon in the game now. It wasn’t snowing, but the ground was icy and still very slippery. The little man in the game seemed to have just come back from work. His clothes were thin and were blown up by the wind, but there was still a thin layer of sweat on his white forehead.
He glanced at the two servants coldly, then without saying anything, he went to the well carrying two buckets of water.
As soon as he turned around, Su Xi saw malicious smiles on the faces of the two servants. She intuitively felt that maybe that bast**d Lu Wenxiu who had been well behaved for a few days had sent someone to make things difficult for her game character again.
At this moment, a message suddenly popped up on the interface:
[Tip, enter the main task: gain the appreciation of the old lady of Ning Wang’s Mansion, please prepare the strategy quickly.]
Su Xi: What the hell?! So sudden.
[The mission reward is 50 gold coins and 6 points.]
WTF, so many slots?!
While Su Xi was seeing $ with her eyes, she suddenly woke up with a start.
She wiped her face, quickly jumped out of bed on one foot, held her phone in one hand, brushed her teeth with the other, and asked the system excitedly: “Where did he go with the bucket?”
The system said: “Over there at the well.”
Su Xi drooled and said incoherently, “Hurry up, help me unlock the map of the well.”
Suddenly, another area on the map was lit up.
Fortunately, Su Xi had saved her points and didn’t rush to unlock any corner, otherwise she would not be able to follow along today.
The interface switched to the well section, and it was seen that there was a well dug along a stream west of Ning Wang’s Mansion. The distance from the well to the back kitchen was not far, but at this moment, there were hundreds of buckets stacked at the well.
It was so densely packed that it made your scalp tingle.
Lu Wenxiu lost face last time and was filled with anger no matter how he thought about it. This time, he simply didn’t try to frame others, but just made things difficult for them.
Two servants brought him a rattan chair and placed it by the stream. He sat on the chair with his legs spread out, holding the hand of a little girl about three or four years old – that was the illegitimate daughter of the Fourth Aunt.
The little girl opened her eyes wide in fear. She wanted to cry but didn’t dare to. She had already wet her pants.
Lu Huan walked over from a distance and threw the bucket on the ground coldly.
Lu Wenxiu knew that the Fourth Aunt usually took good care of Lu Huan, and Lu Huan would not watch the Fourth Aunt’s only remaining daughter die, so today he specially asked someone to transfer the Fourth Aunt away and bring her daughter over.
He looked at Lu Huan proudly and said, “If you don’t finish moving these 100 buckets of water today, I will push Fourth Sister over. In this cold winter, if she falls into the icy water, she might get tuberculosis or something.”
