The boss probably didn't expect to run into this man. His face showed great embarrassment, and he pretended to be a coward for a moment.
"The spiritual energy will be stored in small balls. You gather your spiritual energy in the middle of your palm, slowly roll it into a ball, and then put it in a container." The man explained while kindly demonstrating to Xu Yuehuai.
Finally, a small, glowing ball was revealed before us.
The man handed the small ball to the shopkeeper, saying, "Pack all of these things up."
The shop owner immediately began packing the items and respectfully handed them to the man.
After taking the items, the man handed them to Xu Yuehuai, saying, "I saw you wanted to buy them. Since we've met here by chance, I'll give all of these things to you."
Xu Yuehuai took a step back. She had just arrived and didn't want to owe anyone a favor. "No need, I can buy it myself."
“You don’t need to be so careful. I’m here specifically to take care of people like you who are new here. You only get a chance to work once every ten years.” The man smiled warmly. “Look, your arrival has given me something to do. As a way of repaying you, it’s only fair that I buy you something.”
“Young lady, if you are really worried, you can come back to the relief center with me.” Seeing Xu Yuehuai’s wary look, the man offered.
Xu Yuehuai thought about it and agreed.
As they walked down the street, the man suddenly spoke, "My name is Ying Ziping, and yours is Ying Ziping."
“Xu Yuehuai,” she said.
“Xu Yuehuai…that’s a good name!” Ying Ziping was very talkative. He looked like someone who wasn’t good with words, but he turned out to be a chatterbox.
She kept talking the whole way.
"We've arrived. This is the relief center."
Xu Yuehuai looked at the gate of the mansion in front of her and saw that it indeed had the words "Relief Center" written on it. "Miss Xu, shall I take you inside to get some of your basic necessities?"
Ying Ziping realized that although Xu Yuehuai appeared to say nothing, he was actually wary of him, which is why he always used questions when doing anything.
Xu Yuehua nodded and followed Ying Ziping inside.
The mansion was very large, and several tables were occupied by people who were dozing off. When they heard someone enter, they slowly opened their eyes.
Upon realizing that it was Ying Ziping standing in front of them, everyone immediately came to their senses. "What brings you here, Manager Ying?"
Ying Ziping, seemingly unaware of their earlier actions, replied, "I'm helping a newcomer get her things. You don't need to be nervous. I'll leave as soon as I've collected them."
Those who heard this relaxed a little.
Xu Yuehuai took several sets of clothes and a few spirit energy balls, a total of ten spirit energy balls, half of which were empty and half of which were full.
This basically means that newcomers who have just arrived here don't have money, so the government is providing funds.
The spiritual energy value here is roughly equivalent to currency.
After taking the things, Xu Yuehuai said goodbye to Ying Ziping.
When I got home, there was a girl in the house. She was wearing a light pink dress, with two small braids on her head and the rest of her long hair hanging down her back. She looked very cute.
"Who are you?" the young girl asked cautiously, scanning Xu Yuehuai up and down.
Aunt Pu came out of the house when she heard the noise. Seeing a pile of things in Xu Yuehuai's hands, she knew that Xu Yuehuai had already been to the relief center. "Pu Pu, this is the Miss Xu I told you about."
"This is my daughter, Pu Pu. She's about your age. You two should get along very well," Aunt Pu said with a smile.
Pu Pu looked at Xu Yuehuai curiously. "Hello, Miss Xu."
Xu Yuehuai greeted Pu Pu with a smile on her lips.
Aunt Pu watched the two of them for a while, and seeing that they got along well, she went back to doing her own thing. "Your things are fine to keep in your own room."
The two chatted for a long time, and didn't come out of the house until dinner time. Pu Pu was very happy and snuggled up to Aunt Pu: "Mom, she knows so much and knows so many things. I like this older sister!"
Aunt Pu was happy to see her daughter so happy.
The three of them ate a simple meal, and Xu Yuehuai didn't feel uncomfortable at all. After finishing the meal, she remembered that Aunt Pu had kept her at home to find out what was happening outside. She was well prepared and wanted to start telling stories.
But before she could speak, Aunt Pu interrupted her, "You don't need to tell me these things. You can tell Pu Pu. At my age, I'm not curious about new things. But she's different. She's been here since she was born and has never known what the outside world is like for over ten years."
When Xu Yuehuai met Pu Pu, he had pretty much guessed this outcome, so he wasn't too surprised now.
Pu Pu went to her room and found a fun object. She excitedly held it up in front of Xu Yuehuai and said, "Sister, look! This was given to me by Brother Pingping. Nobody ever plays with me. It's so kind of you to come!"
Xu Yuehuai and Pu Pu have complementary personalities; one is a quiet, aloof beauty, while the other is talkative and adorable.
Xu Yuehuai settled in here with a clear conscience. At first, she chatted with Pupu in the house, telling her how wonderful the outside world was.
Later, she even told her about Qi Guze. Pu Pu felt very sorry for Xu Yuehuai, thinking that she had met the wrong person. She also said that if she ever saw this Qi Guze again, she would definitely take revenge on him.
Xu Yuehuai simply smiled faintly after hearing these words and did not reply.
She didn't have any particular ideas and was quite content with her time there.
Having finished telling the story, Pu Pu wanted to help Xu Yuehuai understand the world she lived in, so she started taking Xu Yuehuai out to play every day.
The place I played the most was the forest in the world where Xu Yuehuai came from.
There are many rare treasures in that forest, but most of the people who live there have low material desires and are content with just surviving, so hardly anyone comes here.
Of course, every ten years, the forest becomes very lively as everyone goes to look for the person from another world.
After discovering the stream where Xu Yuehuai was found, people would take their children to play in the stream.
Pu Pu ran all over the mountains and started playing hide-and-seek with Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai always managed to find her precisely, but she could never find Xu Yuehuai.
Just like later, when Xu Yuehuai left, Pu Pu searched the entire mountain but couldn't find her again.
Of course, that's beside the point.
"Sister, will you leave this town?" Pu Pu asked, splashing water with her fair feet.
Xu Yuehuai sat on a rock, flipping through books about this world, and said, "I don't know."
...
Suddenly, Xu Yuehuai sensed danger. She rolled up the book, took the book in one hand, and carried Pupu away from the stone with the other.
