Ning Zheng couldn't bear to watch as things unfolded to the end.

He personally taught the novice Ning Jiaojiao how to fish, and they finally managed to pull up the River Demon with great difficulty, "The River Demon's explosive power lasts only for a moment, it will quickly tire, don't be too forceful, pull the rod slowly, tease it..."

"So fishing requires a lot of skill," Ning Jiaojiao recalled the rhythm of pulling the rod just now.

Beside them, Su Yuniang, all wet, reattached her head.

"Any thoughts?" Ning Zheng asked.

She gasped for breath, laboriously gave a thumbs up, "Phew, phew! Phew! My thought is, pigtails are truly the best in the world."

Ning Zheng was silent for a moment.

Su Yuniang also realized and quickly twisted her head to make sure the joints were aligned, and said seriously, "It was thrilling, felt very strange, thanks for letting me experience the local customs."

Hanging from her waist was a River Demon with clear stupid eyes.

Su Yuniang had never expected to experience the wonders of a Five-Body Realm Cultivator in such a situation—being beheaded and yet undying.

"As a tourist, you should experience the local customs and habits, this is also a feature, once you leave this village, you won't experience it anymore."

Ning Zheng was on the side making tea, still eating Spiritual Flesh, playing the role of a hospitable young villager, "Want some?"

"Thanks." Su Yuniang took the meat and found it was very nourishing.

Ning Zheng just smiled, eat more to grow Spirit Rice.

The Meat Field is very small, but it still produces enough to supply three to five people easily.

Normally, the Spirit Rice of dead Spirit Farmers is filled with death energy, appearing nice but inedible.

But Ning Zheng was of Yin Attribute, and the other party used his exclusive Shadow Spirit Rice, so Ning Zheng thought it might be edible.

If it is edible, then it is of great significance!

He would obtain a large source of Shadow Spirit Rice from the mountain.

At this moment, Ning Jiaojiao came over preparing to finish off the River Demon, but was quickly stopped by Su Yuniang, "Can I buy it from you?"

"You want this thing?" Ning Jiaojiao said.

"Yeah, I feel like it's the first fish I caught, very memorable." Su Yuniang brushed it off and took out three Magic Coins, "Is it enough?"

"It's enough." Ning Jiaojiao readily accepted the money, as she was tired of eating River Demon meat anyway, she mainly enjoyed the fun of fishing.

Su Yuniang saw her being so straightforward and wondered if she had overpaid.

But on second thought, her expenses for this trip were reimbursed by the villa.

This trip was very rewarding!

She discovered a hidden wild monster map outside, and buying this fish from the two villagers at the foot of the mountain, then visiting the New Year Market tomorrow, buying some local specialties from the vendors to take back was simply a great harvest!

The exploration mission was perfectly completed.

"Where do I sleep?" Su Yuniang was satisfied, thinking this underground adventure was thrilling and interesting.

"You can sleep anywhere you want tonight, like underwater or in the empty house next door."

Ning Jiaojiao, with a look of anticipation, said, "You are Money Child, with good teeth, can you help me widen the little hole underground and move some furniture in... so, where will you sleep?"

"Then I'll sleep underwater." Seeing the cute and pitiful look in the other's eyes, Su Yuniang felt an arrow through her heart and directly chose to sleep in the well, accepting the task.

If it were someone else, they would hold a grudge against Ning Jiaojiao's rookie mistake at this critical moment.

But players are always generous, focusing on being big-hearted, and life and death are just a laughing matter.

After all, everyone is experienced, and which game task given by an NPC doesn't come with a risk to life?

Some game villagers ask you to deliver a letter for a few copper coins, making you cross bandit dens and several towns, narrowly escaping death.

So, a fishing tutorial for newbies... it's quite normal to have a bit of life risk!

Next, she planned to settle down under the well, build a small fortress on the frontline of the underground labyrinth, and observe for a while.

"Please help me tie up the River Demon, thank you."

She hung up the iron chain and started climbing down the well, preparing to chew on the ground in the small underground cave.

After all, recently on the mountain, the task of sticking one's head in the ground and twisting their butt to chew on the soil was already second nature.

"By the way, I may go out tomorrow, please don't worry about me, I plan to explore the lively market here."

She planned to return to the villa once tomorrow.

Leaving here was just temporary, she had many ideas for this wild monster map!

Seeing Su Yuniang going underwater, Ning Jiaojiao was moved and said, "Sister Su Yuniang is so gentle and generous, I could have caused a problem by not knowing how to fish, and she didn't blame me."

"This is the adult world," Ning Zheng echoed.

...

At the break of dawn the next day.

Su Yuniang went alone to the New Year Market and browsed through various stalls.

She bought some candied haws, pancakes, and other snacks, finding them quite tasty.

But her stomach was empty, and it seemed unable to be filled, the taste was somewhat strange, she didn't know how it was made, it was a bit like eating dirt.

"Boss, how much for this beast bone? Is it tiger bone?"

"Isn't this human bone? Why do you have so many human bones? You don't eat people, do you, haha, just kidding, you guys obviously look like grave robbers."

"Wait a minute, I want human bone too."

"This piece of beast skin is really nice, can be made into clothes, just right for those Money Lolitas of Miracle Nikki."

"Wow, boss, these beads you've polished are impressive, and the tassel is also well-made!"

Su Yuniang was like discovering a new continent, visiting stalls one by one, realizing these villagers had accumulated quite a bit of Demon Beast materials.

As a result, none of them set up stalls to sell things to us, instead, they set up stalls selling things to us, pocketing our hard-earned money?

How hateful!

This is taking advantage of our newly established production line with low productivity!

No matter what, her shopping spree kicked in, carrying large and small bags, the 30 Magic Coins rumored to be given for start-up capital for the trip down the mountain were entirely spent.

A great harvest!

But what Su Yuniang didn't realize was that as she bought and sold things and unknowingly touched others, her blood and flesh gradually vanished, turning into an empty bubble.

The meat was taken by other unaware villagers, yet she was none the wiser.

Though generally, Embers don't conflict with each other, plundering still happens.

As an empty bubble, she instinctively started stuffing her body with all sorts of things, including purchased bones, beads, and wood, turning into a grotesque figure under the view of a Spiritual Eye.

"I'm back."

By noon, Su Yuniang returned to see Ning Jiaojiao, and then dragged a cart loaded with big bags, placing the River Demon on the cart as well, "I want to take the River Demon from the yard with me; I'll explore other places and then come back here to stay."

"Remember to come back early," Ning Jiaojiao waved a little grudgingly in farewell.

...

On the way up the mountain in the sunlight, Su Yuniang felt the trip was not in vain.

"The villagers at the foot of the mountain were quite nice."

She recalled, "And the two enthusiastic young villagers led me to enjoy a local feature of fishing, a truly tense and thrilling adventure."

Actually, the villagers at the foot of the mountain found her quite nice as well, taking a pile of junk bones and ornaments and leaving with all her Magic Coins and meat, finally getting a sucker after such a long hunger.

Luckily, she wasn't alive, she was similar, there wasn't an attack on her, triggering the kill mechanic, otherwise Su Yuniang would have seen the real terrifying Ghost Market beneath the surface prosperity.

Step, step, step.

Soon, she was back on the mountain.

Su Yuniang quickly received a warm welcome.

"Wow, such a big fish."

"Is this a creature from the Otherworld? This gaze looks so stupid."

...

Everyone was extremely excited.

This is what makes text-based placement games so surprisingly delightful.

Sending adventure teams out to explore every day, the materials they bring back have D, C, B, A levels, offering new experiences daily.

Looking at these bones and beast skins, there were new materials again.

"Everyone be quiet for a moment."

At this time, "Su Yuniang" quieted everyone down, stepping on the head of the River Demon like a returning pirate captain, and began to introduce:

"This time down the mountain, I experienced a super wondrous life adventure! This exploration was simply too fascinating!"
