Ke Meiyu gritted her teeth and controlled her breathing, but smiled with a watery look in her eyes and pointed to her ankle.
"See? You haven't fully recovered yet, and you're running around everywhere. You've twisted your ankle, haven't you?" Fifth Brother muttered, but resignedly put the little radish head down and picked up the girl horizontally instead.
Ke Meiyu obediently closed her eyes and leaned against him, covering her face, which made others envious.
"Xiaowen, I really can't do this task. Can we try another one?" she asked hesitantly.
Although Ke Meiyu has no competitive spirit, she has long been used to having superpowers all over her body, and she can hardly stand her current weak and stupid appearance, which is unable to control her lustful desires!
"Host, we are a service system that maintains the peace of the universe, and we operate using the peace value bestowed by the Great Dao."
The host's rebirth consumes a huge amount of peace points, which can only be replenished by conquering this task; otherwise, the service system will gradually withdraw the peace points from the host.
Once all the peace points have been withdrawn, the host will return to their original world, and their health points will be reduced to zero.
The mission advisor answered methodically.
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Ke Meiyu was somewhat unwilling. She had finally escaped the shackles of the big boss, only to fall into this trap of transforming the big villain!
Is freedom difficult?
If she had known this would happen, she would have been better off staying close to the big boss, at least he would have been helpless against her inaction.
"The host can choose to do it or not. The universe is so vast that someone will always seize the opportunity to live again."
A blatant threat!
Ke Meiyu was both angry and helpless, but reality was just that cruel and harsh.
"Who is the main villain?!" Ke Meiyu asked listlessly.
"Ding-dong, host, do you want to accept the first mission?"
Send a bowl of ginger tea to the villain Qin Yuanjiu and you'll be rewarded with a pound of brown sugar!
Remember, you must brew the ginger tea yourself and serve it to the host personally.
Isn't that infuriating? For a pound of brown sugar, she's willing to say goodbye to her fairy-like self and rush towards becoming a haggard housewife...
Before she could finish venting her frustrations, Brother Ke paused, then carefully squatted down and scooped up an unopened bag of brown sugar from the ground!
"What a lucky girl, even walking can trip over brown sugar," Brother Ke said happily in a low voice, then blew the dirt off the brown sugar and stuffed it into Ke Meiyu's arms.
It feels like being forced to consume first and pay in installments later, which is incredibly stressful.
Back home, the children rushed to close the courtyard gate, grabbed their bamboo baskets, and headed straight for their rooms with heavy sacks of straw to share the fruits of their labor with their parents.
Ke Meiyu directed her brother to move two wild ducks and half of the wild duck eggs into the old lady's house, while the rest was left to Ke's mother to arrange.
"Oh my, Yu Bao'er, the wild duck eggs you picked are big and fresh," the old lady said, looking at them one by one by the light of the kerosene lamp, nodding happily. "Tomorrow we'll go to the market to buy some coarse salt, and Grandma will make you salted duck eggs."
Ke Meiyu nodded listlessly, her mind already filled with various recipes that used eggs as an ingredient!
However, after a brief conversation, she learned from Xiao Wen that there was no choice in the task, but the reward could be exchanged for according to her own wishes!
It can be exchanged for physical rewards in this era, or it can be exchanged for virtual currency to purchase items in the mall.
Materials and magical artifacts needed for crafting talismans, setting up arrays, and refining pills in her space can all be purchased as long as she has enough virtual currency! And the prices and quality vary.
Ke Meiyu quickly browsed through the online store and compared the prices, gaining a general idea of what was going on.
For example, the recently released task is so simple that you can get brown sugar worth a little over one dollar, which is equivalent to more than ten spirit orbs in the shop. One hundred spirit orbs equal one low-grade spirit stone!
In the spiritual spring space that Ke Meiyu obtained, apart from a room with jade slips that were restricted and could not be taken out, there were some seeds of ordinary spiritual plants. All the other good things had been squandered by the previous owners of the space.
Just when she was worried about not having any suitable materials, this "virtuous wife and loving mother system" that claims to transform major villains came crashing into her life!
The two complement each other perfectly; if she doesn't put in a little effort, it seems like she'd be doing a disservice to her lucky charm skin.
"Grandma, I'll use your stove to make some brown sugar ginger tea," Ke Meiyu said after thinking for a while, rolling up her sleeves and gritting her teeth.
"My dear, are you feeling cold or have a stomachache?" The old lady carefully placed the wild duck egg down and looked her over from head to toe. "Go back to your room and lie down. I'll make you some milk!"
"Milk, it's just brown sugar ginger tea, you tell me and I'll make it."
"It saves me from having nothing sent back to my in-laws after I get married," Ke Meiyu said with a light laugh, linking her arm with the old lady's and acting coquettishly.
"Good, good, my darling is so sensible," Grandma Ke nodded with satisfaction.
Since her child was showing rare enthusiasm and had started doing chores, she naturally couldn't discourage him.
Grandma Ke patiently taught Ke Meiyu step by step, from starting the fire to cooking.
Brown sugar ginger tea may seem simple, but just lighting a fire in a traditional earthen stove took Ke Meiyu more than half an hour to learn!
It was the first time that Ke Meiyu had cooked anything, even if it was just brown sugar ginger tea and boiled eggs. She was filled with pride and excitement and invited her grandparents, parents, and five older brothers to drink a bowl and eat a boiled egg to celebrate her debut.
With the intention of benefiting her family, she secretly added a few drops of the spiritual spring water inside.
Ke Meiyu left Qin Yuanjiu a bowl and two hard-boiled eggs. After everyone went back to their rooms to rest, she quietly took the bowl and eggs and flew all the way to the cowshed.
The bright moonlight poured down in a hazy glow, and with the autumn breeze, it brought a sense of peace and tranquility to the heart.
There are no ugly zombies or mutated beasts that can ambush you at any time, no villains who are uglier, greedier, or more scheming than these undead, no need to worry about food shortages, and no need to worry about unpredictable weather.
On her second day here, Ke Meiyu realized for the first time that everything was truly different!
The cowshed was built in a rather simple manner. Inside were two oxen from the village used for plowing, hauling people and goods, and several small huts built later on both sides housed people who had been sent there for reform.
Even though the cowshed was cleaned very well, the faint stench of manure still lingered in the cool breeze.
There are four rooms in total, occupied by a couple of professors from a university in the capital, a doctor with an injured right hand and his granddaughter, a stubborn old man of unknown background, and Qin Yuanjiu, who is as cold as an ice pop!
Ke Meiyu squinted, held her breath, and listened intently before heading towards the small hut on the right side next to the cowshed.
She steeled herself and, with a slightly flushed face, knocked very lightly on the door.
"Who?" the man inside asked coldly.
Ke Meiyu didn't say anything, but knocked again.
The door creaked open suddenly, and the man's seemingly tall and thin figure blocked the doorway completely, creating a very imposing atmosphere.
He frowned impatiently and stood there silently, seemingly unsurprised to see her.
