After shopping, the group arrived near the livestock market, where Wang Jia's two wives went inside to have Wang Sanzhuang drive the oxcart out.

They walked out of the county town together, then boarded an oxcart and slowly made their way towards Kaoshantun.

Back home, Ge Xiaoyu packed everything she had bought into the closet, while the cotton and cloth were placed in her room, as she was responsible for making all the clothes.

The snacks were placed in Lin Xue's room. These were all Lin Xue's favorites. She felt that she was still very young and that there were many more good things to eat in the future, so there was no need to compete with her grandmother for these snacks.

Moreover, because Lin Xue likes to eat pastries, Ge Xiaoyu has begun to slowly study how to make various pastries.

She would also inquire which wife in the village knew how to make pastries, and then she would bring her things to ask her for advice.

However, because I haven't had enough time to learn, my cooking doesn't taste as good as what's sold in stores.

However, given time, Ge Xiaoyu believes she will be able to make delicious pastries so that her grandmother can enjoy the snacks she wants at home without leaving the house.

"bite!"

"Host, there's a side quest available. Would you like to take a look?"

I asked Lin Xue this question yesterday on June 29th, but she was lost in thought and didn't hear me at all.

629 knew Lin Xue's mental state at the moment, so he didn't insist. Now that he saw Lin Xue sitting alone in the yard sunbathing, he came out and asked again.

This host of mine is usually very lazy, but he is exceptionally proactive when it comes to tasks and points.

Before receiving a clear rejection from the host, 629 felt he should remind him a few more times.

"Side quests?"

Lin Xue finally heard what 629 said. She snapped out of her daze and looked in the direction of the sun.

"Lunch is almost ready!"

The sun was almost directly overhead, and it looked like lunchtime was just around the corner. Lin Xue suddenly wondered what delicious food Xiao Yu would make for her at noon.

By the way, I went to Yulin County this morning and bought a lot of delicious things.

I also bought a few pork ribs. I suppose Xiaoyu will make braised pork ribs for her!

Seeing that its host's mind was elsewhere, 629 had to remind him again.

"Host, there's a side quest!"

As soon as 629 finished speaking, Lin Xue came back to her senses.

"Side quests? What side quests?"

Lin Xue frowned in confusion. Who was speaking in her ear? She couldn't see anyone.

"Host, is your body suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"

"Don't forget, you're a quick-transmigration mission taker. I'm just asking you if you're still going to do the side quests. If not, I'll just cancel them!"

Although 629 knew that Lin Xue did not do it on purpose, seeing such a confused host still made 629 feel a little uncomfortable.

Having completed so many world missions, this is the first time its host has developed Alzheimer's disease.

"You're the one with dementia! Your whole family has dementia!"

"I'm not so confused that I don't even know what the quest is. Tell me quickly, what exactly do I need to do in this side quest?"

After being confronted by 629, Lin Xue's IQ seems to have returned.

"Side quest: The magistrate of Yulin County is a good official who serves the country and its people. He has really gone to great lengths to deal with the bandits of Qinglong Mountain!"

"A side quest is now being issued: help the magistrate of Yulin County eliminate the bandits of Qinglong Mountain!"

A while after the system finished speaking, Lin Xue slowly said something.

That's it?

"Alright, I'll take it, but you have to keep a close eye on it for me. You can't skimp on my share of the benefits!"

Lin Xue seemed a little confused as she spoke, and 629 was worried that she might forget about the task in the next second.

However, since their host has already accepted the mission, even if the host is unable to properly help the magistrate resolve the matter of Qinglong Mountain,

He will also transform into the host's appearance to complete this task; after all, there's no reason to fail once a mission is accepted.

It will protect the host's undefeated record.

A few more days passed, and the weather grew increasingly cold; cotton-padded clothes could be seen on the villagers' bodies.

Of course, there were also people wearing thin clothes, which immediately highlighted the gap between the rich and the poor.

Ge Xiaoyu also put a thin cotton coat on Lin Xue. This thin cotton coat was very warm to wear, since it wasn't really cold yet.

This was made by Ge Xiaoyu because she was worried that Ge Xiaoyu would catch a cold from sitting in the sun at the door every day.

She herself was still wearing light summer clothes, but she had already made a thin cotton-padded jacket for Lin Xue, which shows that Ge Xiaoyu genuinely cared for Lin Xue.

"Host, when are you going to deal with the bandits of Qinglong Mountain?"

On this day, 629 finally couldn't hold back any longer and had to jump out to remind the host.

If the host doesn't take action soon, it will be unable to resist taking action itself.

"What's the rush? Let's set off tonight and deal with those bandits as soon as possible so we can finally live our lives in peace!"

Lin Xue hadn't forgotten about it, but because sunbathing was so comfortable, she didn't want to move.

"Yes, host. I will remind you to set off tonight!"

Hearing that Lin Xue was finally going to make a move, 629 said no more. His host was reliable when it came to completing missions.

After Ge Xiaoyu fell asleep that night, Lin Xue secretly slipped out of the house, used her spiritual power to ride her flying magic weapon that she hadn't used in a long time, and arrived above Qinglong Mountain.

Looking at the several nodes marked by the system as easy to defend and difficult to attack, Lin Xue directly used a lightning-summoning talisman to flatten them into flat ground.

"Alright, let's go!"

After splitting the mountain, Lin Xue planned to leave.

She was in a hurry to go home and sleep; if she slept too late, she might miss the first rays of sunlight the next morning.

"Host, are you just leaving like this? Aren't you going to deal with those bandits from Qinglong Mountain?"

Watching the host finish splitting the mountain and leave, 629 asked in disbelief.

"The reason why Qinglong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and where bandits run rampant, is because of these several key points that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we destroy these points, the county magistrate can naturally lead his men to attack. At that time, these bandits will no longer be able to rely on Qinglong Mountain to wreak havoc on the area!"

Lin Xue looked again at the places that had been split or leveled by her lightning-summoning talisman, as well as several natural barriers that had been directly cleaved into cliffs, making it impossible for these bandits to stay on them anymore.

With no way in or out, their only option if they stayed in the mountains was to starve to death.

The reason why Qinglong Mountain has been impossible to conquer is because of those few places. Now that there are no obstacles, she no longer needs to kill people.

After saying that, Lin Xue rode her flying magical artifact back to her home, crawled into bed, and fell fast asleep.
