Chapter 131

Qin Huan: I want to ask you every day, are you on guard against thieves? I just spent the night at my house, why are you always so resistant?

Bei Qiao: The offline environment is very important. No matter how luxurious the nests outside are, they are not as safe as the nests arranged by the authorities.

After saying goodbye to Qin Huan, Bei Qiao used his Qing Gong skills to return to the inn before curfew. When he logged off to wash up, Qiao Lin nagged him again: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Go to bed now..." Bei Qiao yawned and washed his face with warm water: I just didn't expect that the natives would stay up late.

After a quick wash, Bei Qiao returned to her room, collapsed onto her bed, and fell asleep instantly. She even had a dream. In her dream, she couldn't buy a high-speed train ticket for the afternoon trip home, so she had to take an overnight train. The soft sleeper in the carriage felt terrible, like lying on a fat-burning machine. Not only could she not fall asleep, but the person next door was snoring loudly, which was very disturbing.

Wait, that’s not right. Trains seem to be a means of transportation from centuries ago. They have been eliminated in China. Now we all use high-speed trains... Beiqiao suddenly realized in his dream: Oh, I am dreaming, and the content of the dream is that I want to sleep but can’t, so where is this nesting doll?

After a lucid dream, Bei Qiao suddenly woke up. Looking at the sky outside, she yawned and turned over to continue sleeping without checking the alarm clock on the table.

As a freelancer, she's used to waking up early, but she doesn't have to. She doesn't need to check the time; she can just sleep in until she wakes naturally.

By the time Bei Qiao woke up, it was already eight in the morning. After breakfast, she logged onto the inn and practiced martial arts for a while. Then, with her backpack on her back, she leaned against the doorway, chatting with the cleaning attendant while she waited for Qin Huan to come and address the room's issues. The room that had been damaged by the monks the previous night had been repaired at some point, and the windows looked like new, though the paint smell was a bit strong.

Qin Huan arrived quickly, still accompanied by a group of people, though fewer than yesterday. After reuniting with Bei Qiao, she took her straight to the government office to find someone to help Bei Qiao complete the house purchase and sale procedures.

Because the Qin family had acquaintances in the relevant departments, Bei Qiao didn't spend much time to get the matter done. After completing the registration, the small courtyard next to the Qin family truly became her legal private property.

"Done, I'm going to class. Come and play with me when you have time!" After saying goodbye to Bei Qiao, Qin Huan met up with Tang Rou across the street. The two beautiful girls, accompanied by nearly ten servants behind them, walked towards the school, talking and laughing.

Bei Qiao also crossed the road, preparing to go to the inn and drive back to the village to take her parents to Linjie City for some fun. As they parted ways at the intersection, Bei Qiao overheard Tang Rou chatting with Qin Huan about a pen pal she'd made. "She's great in every way, except that she sleeps like a dead person at night. Last time, I had people beat drums and gongs around her, but they couldn't wake her up. I even called a doctor, but they couldn't find anything. It's really strange..."

Bei Qiao: Could this pen pal be a gamer? If he is, then anyone who can cure this condition can no longer be called a miracle doctor; they must be called a god!

System: Wrong, even the gods can't do anything about it, that's what Heaven said! Heaven created this shell specifically for you, and you can only come and go as you please. No one else can summon your soul across the world, let alone summon another soul to possess this body!

Setting out from the inn again and heading back to Yuanshan Village, Bei Qiao was already very skilled on the road. He could even log off to eat while driving, and when he got back online he was still calm and composed.

After returning to Yuanshan Village, Bei Qiao asked his parents whether they planned to go online in the next two days and whether they had any plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qiao Lin, who had just got off work, put down his bag and thought for a while: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will go to visit your grandma the day after tomorrow during the day, and the rest of the time will be the same as usual. Why, are you really planning to take us to Linjie City to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival? Don't you feel tired from traveling back and forth?" Compared with reality, the transportation in the other world has developed very slowly. Whether traveling by horse or car, it is a slow and tiring thing.

"I'm not tired. I finally get to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in another world. It would be a shame not to go out and have some fun." Bei Qiao clapped his hands. "I'll rest at home tomorrow. I'll load you onto the carriage tonight. We'll set off the morning after tomorrow and arrive in Linjie City in the afternoon. I heard the lantern festival in the city is really beautiful, with lantern riddles and other activities. It's much more varied than what we have in the Novice Village."

Qiao Lin quickly waved his hand: "No, your father and I are not going to work on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival anyway, so you should get on the carriage by yourself. The door of our bedroom is locked, and you can't open it from the outside." Staying in the carriage is not as comfortable as lying in bed. If the sitting posture in the carriage is not good, when you go online in the afternoon, you may face numb arms and legs, and a stiff neck.

"Oh." Okay.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bei Qiao boarded a high-speed train and traveled to another city for a stroll and lunch. In this age of advanced transportation, traveling has become a daily routine for ordinary people. For the wealthy, their journey is to the stars and the universe.

After leaving the scenic area that afternoon, Bei Qiao bought a ticket to go home. Before leaving, she browsed around the shops outside the station but didn't find any interesting snacks. In the end, she only bought a roujiamo (a steamed bun with Chinese meat filling), planning to have a proper dinner after returning home. "I've traveled halfway across the province by bus, and the snacks they sell are still the same..." Well, after careful calculation, it seems that everyone in China has had enough to eat for only a few hundred years. First, a tribute to Grandpa Yuan.

Bei Qiao took the last bus back home and unsurprisingly missed dinner, which earned him Qiao Lin's complaining look and the dinner still simmering in the pot.

After dinner, Bei Qiao washed her dishes and returned to her room to turn on her computer projector. Because she couldn't get the remote control for the TV in the living room, Bei Qiao usually watched her favorite TV shows in her bedroom. However, because she had been too busy before, she hadn't turned on the projector for a month.

"There is your new sofa on the balcony. Don't forget to move it back into the house. The smell has almost dissipated." Qiao Lin, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, remembered something and turned to Bei Qiao's bedroom and shouted: "Don't forget, you don't have to move us." If I open my eyes when I go online tomorrow and find myself in the carriage, not to mention how uncomfortable it would be, I will definitely have mosquito bites on my body.

"Got it." Bei Qiao put down the remote and ran to the balcony, picking up the single sofa. It was a small sofa she'd bought online. It took up very little space, which was good because it could be washed directly in the washing machine. However, its length was limited, so Bei Qiao had to place a yoga mat next to it to prevent her legs from drooping on the ground.

Single sofa: Is there a possibility that my original name is Cat Sofa and I was not originally created to be used for a 1.7-meter-tall cat!

"Why is it that it's the 25th century, and there are still such weird parents who like to implement misery education?" Bei Qiao moved the sofa back to the bedroom, lay down on the sofa, stretched comfortably, and changed the channel with the remote control: Well, the feeling of sitting on the sofa is different from sitting on a chair.

"You're talking to me." Qiao Lin pushed open the door of Bei Qiao's bedroom, carrying a fruit plate. "What watermelon? It's cooling in nature. Eat an apple."

"No, I'm watching the news." Bei Qiao took the fruit plate.

"Don't go to your grandma's house with me tomorrow"

"We have to travel tomorrow and I don't have to go to work, so we can go anytime." Qiao Lin shook his head: But I dare not go to my grandma's house at dinner time, because I always eat too much.

After watching the TV for a while, Bei Qiao felt a little bored, so he simply lay on the sofa, put on his holographic glasses and went online. He pushed open the door and walked into the yard: "This is what it feels like to be a turtle turned over and trying to walk. I feel a little dizzy."

When she opened the door and saw that it was very dark outside, Bei Qiao remembered that she had forgotten her lantern. She went back to the house to get the lantern and went to the edge of the field to look at the crops planted there. The light was a little dim, and she couldn't see clearly, but the crops were growing well. Although the leaves were a little wilted, they still looked quite energetic.

"That's amazing, Dudu! I didn't expect you to be so good at farming!" Bei Qiao picked up the puppy and rubbed it vigorously: "You are worthy of being a Chinese puppy!"

"Woof woof!" Dudu wagged his tail happily as he lay in Beiqiao's arms. AI dogs are inherently adaptable, and dogs raised by different owners have completely different personalities. Because the Qiao family dotes on their dogs and doesn't spend much time at home, Dudu has a lively personality, yet also a bit of a housekeeping streak. If he were to take human form, he'd probably be a cheerful butler.

Holding Dudu, Beiqiao went to check on his mounts. Huihui and Honghong had been getting plenty of exercise lately, but thanks to Beiqiao's careful route planning, they hadn't overworked, caught a cold, or gotten sick. Having seen others in far worse situations before, Huihui was in even better spirits than before the trip, occasionally even shaking his head to amuse himself while on the road. As long as it didn't affect his progress, Beiqiao let it go.

"Have a good rest. We have another trip tomorrow." Bei Qiao saw that Honghong and Huihui were a little sleepy, so he didn't brush their fur. He just checked the carriage to make sure the wheels were fine and it was safe to go. "I have to remind Mom to wear the new clothes she just bought tomorrow. Dad...it's okay, the clothes the system gave him are pretty nice too."

Bei Gu, who was watching a spy movie on TV, said: "A-choo!"

After finishing his preparations for the trip, Bei Qiao returned to his room to practice martial arts in the hall. Although the courtyard was larger, the moonlight wasn't bright enough, and Bei Qiao was worried he might fall into the mud.

Without anyone to compete with, Bei Qiao couldn't tell how much her martial arts had improved. After training in the other world, Bei Qiao logged off and practiced at home for a while. She couldn't perform Qinggong in real life, but she could climb the door frame when Qiao Lin wasn't paying attention.
