[Quest Triggered: The Dirty and Messy Mountain God Temple]

[Task Description: This mountain god temple is extremely dirty and unsuitable for habitation. Please clean the temple grounds. Item Provided: Broom x1]

[Task Reward: 10 Scallion Pancakes]

Jiang Chan: "..."

Her eyelids twitched suddenly!

Dirty and messy?

clean?

What the hell is this lousy system doing?!

She was once the "savior" who exposed the bandit's den, but now she's been demoted to a cleaning lady?!

She subconsciously looked at the system interface, and sure enough, besides the task text, there was also a floating image of a... extremely ordinary bamboo broom.

Her expression instantly became extremely strange; the corner of her mouth twitched, looking like a smile that was also a grin.

Chen Yan and his master's wife watched Jiang Chan's changing expressions, and were puzzled.

Suddenly, Jiang Chan turned around and walked straight to a corner... pretending to rummage through something.

With a thought, the ordinary bamboo broom instantly appeared in her hand.

Then, under the astonished gazes of Chen Yan, his teacher's wife, and Xiao Tao, Jiang Chan turned around without saying a word, picked up a broom, and began to vigorously sweep up the dead branches, fallen leaves, and thick dust on the ground!

The movements were crisp and clean, full of energy!

Xiao Tao's mouth gaped slightly as she looked at Jiang Chan in surprise, "Sister Jiang...you..."

"Xiao Tao, go wait outside!" Jiang Chan said as she swept the room, then added to the two newcomers, "You two wait a bit too!"

Chen Yan frowned, his eyes filled with even more confusion.

This woman's behavior is so strange!

Why would they suddenly start cleaning in a place like this... what's going on?

He instinctively shielded his master's wife half a step behind him.

The master's wife was also stunned, murmuring, "Yan-ge'er... this girl... is quite diligent..."

Jiang Chan ignored him, only wanting to finish her work quickly and get her "wages".

Her sweeping movements were wide and sweeping, kicking up a lot of dust!

"Cough cough cough!" Little Tao, who was nearby, was choked and coughed repeatedly, her little face scrunched up, and she hurriedly ran outside.

"Cough cough! What a ton of dust!" The master's wife immediately covered her mouth and nose as well.

Chen Yan frowned even more deeply and pulled his teacher's wife outside the door.

Jiang Chan moved with lightning speed.

Wherever the broom swept, the fallen leaves and dust piled up into small heaps.

In less than ten minutes, she swept the entire ground of the mountain god temple clean, revealing the uneven, muddy ground.

Almost at the same time she stopped.

[Ding! Quest: The Dirty and Messy Mountain God Temple (Completed)]

[Reward: 10 scallion pancakes (to be distributed), would you like to collect now?]

Jiang Chan quickly replied "Yes," and instantly ten scallion pancakes wrapped in oil paper, still slightly warm, appeared on the ground.

Immediately store it in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and warm!

After sweeping the floor, Jiang Chan herself was covered in dust and dirt.

She dusted herself off and went to the door for some fresh air.

Chen Yan and his teacher's wife were still standing outside the door. His teacher's wife was coughing softly, while Chen Yan looked at Jiang Chan with a scrutinizing and puzzled gaze.

Jiang Chan pointed to the cleared area in the temple that she had cleaned and said to the two of them, "It's clean now, you can go in and rest."

Chen Yan paused for a moment, opened his mouth, and finally whispered, "...Thank you."

The master's wife looked at Jiang Chan gratefully, "Miss... thank you... you really are... a diligent person."

Jiang Chan waved her hand, indicating that she was welcome.

Her mind is now filled with complaints about this lousy system.

Save the world?

To expose the evil?

She had just finished a big job and thought she had taken on a high-risk job.

And the result? The new task was... sweeping the floor?!

What exactly is this system for? Is it a savior training program? Or is it a random order dispatching system from a domestic service platform?!

Could it be that the condition for triggering the mission is not "evil," but simply... a scene-triggered event?

I can't figure it out! I absolutely can't figure it out!

Who cares!

As long as there's something to eat, that's fine!

Ten scallion pancakes are enough for her and Xiao Tao to eat their fill for several meals.

She turned to Xiaotao and said, "Come on, go wash your face."

Xiao Tao nodded quickly and followed Jiang Chan to a nearly dried-up ditch not far from the temple.

The mountain god temple was quiet for the time being, with only the withered leaves and dust piled up in the corner and the lingering dusty smell in the air as evidence of the sudden "cleaning" that had just taken place.

...

The river has long since dried up, leaving only a wide, cracked riverbed and pebbles scattered everywhere.

Several murky puddles were scattered about, like the tear stains of the parched earth.

Jiang Chan, holding Xiao Tao's hand, trudged down the riverbank, heading straight for a slightly larger puddle.

It was only two or three meters in diameter, the water was murky and yellowish, and there were some withered branches and rotten leaves floating on it.

A huge rock lies askew on the shore. After countless years of wind and rain, its surface is rough and blurred, but a crude human figure can be vaguely discerned, with the lines of the head and shoulders barely recognizable.

“Sister Jiang, look!” Xiao Tao pointed at the stone and whispered, “Is that…the Mountain God?” Her eyes held the earnestness and a hint of awe that are unique to children.

Jiang Chan glanced at the blurry stone and remained noncommittal. "Who knows?" She had no interest in talk of gods.

In the end times, the struggle to survive has never relied on praying to God.

She cautiously looked around, then took out a ceramic jar from her spatial storage.

The riverbank was empty, with only the wind whipping up sand and dust as it swept across the withered grass.

She squatted by the puddle, avoiding the floating debris, and poured the water in directly.

Once the jar was more than half full, she quickly put it back into her spatial storage and activated the water purification device within the space with her mind, producing a soft humming sound.
