As she passed the giant tree, Mo Shuwan looked at it and found that it had almost recovered. Instead of feeling relieved, she felt even heavier. She sighed when she returned to the house they had built earlier.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

Mo Shuwan rubbed her temples. "I think we've had a really smooth time. You all heard what he said earlier: there's no food in the forest, so we have to go to the desert to find food. If there's a desert city in the desert, they'll come to us on their own without us having to tell them."

"Isn't this something to be happy about?"

Wen Zuo already knew what she was worried about, and gently squeezed her hand.

After pondering for a long time, Yang Zhou looked at Mo Shuwan with some hesitation, "It's gone too smoothly. If things continue to develop like this, we will definitely complete the mission very smoothly. It's as if everything exists just to help us complete the mission."

Mo Shuwan nodded.

Chen Jiaxu immediately tensed up, "So, all this going so smoothly is actually a conspiracy within the game?"

Mo Shuwan frowned, her face full of helplessness.

Since entering the desert, they have received very little information, and the mission has been progressing smoothly. Even if they sense something strange, they have no way to analyze it. Now they can only take it one step at a time.

In the time that followed, they would build houses whenever they had free time. The oasis disappeared once more, and the fruit that grew grew into another giant tree. With two giant trees, the speed of building houses increased significantly. In just a few days, they built several small houses. During this period, when the oasis reappeared, monsters came once more.

However, the monsters left without making much of a fuss. Strangely, they captured more than ninety humans. With these humans, their task of housing one hundred households was complete. Time passed quickly in their busy work, and in the blink of an eye, they had built enough houses.

Five people and two dinosaurs stood hundreds of meters away from the city they had created, each with a complex expression.

"Captain, I finally understand what you meant by strange things. We didn't complete the mission ourselves; the game pushed us to do it."

Everything came too easily.

Although they noticed something strange during these days and tried hard to find the truth, they were unable to find any clues.

"What day is it now?"

"There are only two days left until the mission ends."

As soon as Yang Zhou finished speaking, a line of black text appeared in front of them.

Congratulations on completing the mission. Please proceed to the next level.

The gate came into view, exactly the same as the one they had come from. After the black characters disappeared, the group was silent for a moment, and then reached out to touch the gate in disbelief.

"Is it really finished? Am I dreaming?"

Yang Zhou looked at Mo Shuwan and felt a pang of panic. "Captain, what do we do now? Should we go in or not?"

Mo Shuwan covered her eyes in distress, "I'm not sure if this level is too easy?"

It was so simple that they couldn't believe they had completed the task.

If you do not proceed to the next level within one minute, you will be considered to have forfeited.

Chen Jiaxu cursed under his breath, "Damn it."

Mo Shuwan sighed, "Let's go in first."

At this point, they had no other choice. The appearance of the black text was real, and their completion of the task was also real. Although it was a bit strange, they really couldn't give up.

Several people walked through the door one after another, but the next moment they were stunned. Before them was still an endless desert. Looking further back, in the city they had built with their own hands, more than a hundred humans were busily doing their own things.

"What...what's going on?"

Mo Shuwan looked around abruptly. She even felt that the sand in front of her was familiar. She unconsciously took a few steps towards the city ahead.

Wen Zuo suddenly grabbed Mo Shuwan.

Wen Zuo: Don't go there before you understand the situation.

They didn't plan to go over, but someone in the city spotted them and immediately ran over excitedly. The girl with pigtails suddenly reached out and hugged Mo Shuwan's arm. "Shuwan, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long. Honestly, you didn't even tell us when you left last time, so I didn't get to see you off."

Mo Shuwan stared at the girl in a daze, "What are you talking about?"

The girl stared at Mo Shuwan's face for a while, then burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, you really are something, always joking with me like this. Come on, come on, I've already prepared dinner, come back with me for dinner, and you guys come over quickly too."

The girl turned around and called out to Wen Zuo and the others, then pulled Mo Shuwan toward the oasis.

Wen Zuo subconsciously wanted to pull Mo Shuwan back, but for some reason, he reached out his hand and quickly followed behind her.

Mo Shuwan was pulled into the oasis by the girl, and a bowl of hot soup was handed to her. "Eat quickly, I made this myself."

Mo Shuwan looked down at the soup in her hand, nodded blankly, and brought the bowl to her lips. But soon, she put the bowl down, touched her stomach, and said, "Ah Xiang, I can't eat right now, let's leave it for now."

Ah Xiang? Why do I call her Ah Xiang?

The moment the question flashed through her mind, Mo Shuwan couldn't help but smile, thinking: Her name is just Ah Xiang, there's no reason why.

"Ah, there's nothing I can do if you can't eat it." Ah Xiang glanced regretfully at the bowl, then turned to Wen Zuo, who had come over and sat down next to her. "If Shu Wan can't drink it, you can drink it."

Wen Zuo shook his head.

Ah Xiang stopped trying to persuade Wen Zuo and then tried to get Liu Dongcheng to drink. Liu Dongcheng naturally refused. Yang Zhou and Chen Jiaxu actually wanted to drink, but seeing that Mo Shuwan and the others had refused, they also made up an excuse to refuse. After refusing, they were actually a little confused as to why they had refused, since it was food that was hard to come by.

Ah Xiang put down the bowl with a regretful look. "What a pity! This soup is so good, and I specially prepared it knowing you were coming back, but it's a pity that you couldn't eat it."

Mo Shuwan also sighed, as if she had thought of some bad memories. She raised her hand to rub her temples and said helplessly, "Yes, we suffered a lot on this trip, and now we really have no appetite."

She paused for a moment after saying that.

What am I... saying?

Before she could figure it out, Ah Xiang suddenly hugged her arm again, "I know you've worked hard. You don't need to come with us on this hunt. The chieftain said you can get some rest. We've cleaned your house very well, so you can rest now."
