[Ding! Host is requested to recruit five customers from Jinhu Residential Area for a two-day (48-hour) tour to the Yellow Emperor Tribe in the late Neolithic period. Price: 2,000 yuan per person. Note: Tourists must be residents of Jinhu Residential Area. Recruitment time: 24 hours, counting begins in one hour.]
[Mission success reward: Two months of lifespan for any designated target, bonus of 200,000 yuan.]
It’s here!
The second mission is here!
He Mu was so excited she nearly jumped out of her chair.
Everyone in the reception room looked over curiously. Su Miaomiao asked, “Mu Mu, what’s wrong?”
He Mu quickly adjusted her mindset and calmed down. “It’s nothing.”
She was also thinking to herself: originally, she had planned to develop the Su siblings into long-term clients. If there weren’t enough people, she could recruit customers from the hospital. After what happened with Zhao Meimei, they definitely wouldn’t refuse—they’d only compete for the spots.
But then, the system came up with this restriction, locking down the customer base. Recruiting customers became a bit tricky.
[Ding, the system mall has been updated.]
He Mu’s eyes lit up. She controlled the system panel and opened the system mall. Only a few products in the shopping section were temporarily available, while the rest were grayed out, displaying the words “Awaiting Unlock.”
He Mu clicked on the glowing “Beginner’s Gift Pack” icon, and several gifts popped up.
Beginner Body Tempering, Three Stages: First stage—Muscle Training, strengthens muscles and increases strength; second stage—Blood Transformation, purifies blood and enhances recovery; third stage—Tendon Alteration, greatly improves the resilience of tendons and bones.
Ordinary Iron Whip: Made of common refined iron, engraved with basic evil-repelling runes, capable of injuring low-level soldiers/minor demons.
Five Drops of Spiritual Liquid: Immune to all damage, one drop per use.
That’s it.
Just three things.
Damn, I’ve never seen such a stingy beginner’s gift pack. A gift pack should be generous to be called a gift pack!
[Exchange the Beginner’s Gift Pack?]
“Exchange.”
In an instant, a tingling electric sensation spread throughout her entire body, lasting for a minute before disappearing.
He Mu felt a qualitative change in her body, filled with strength from the inside out.
“Mu Mu?”
Su Miaomiao’s voice came again. He Mu stored the iron whip and Spiritual Liquid in her system backpack’s item slots and looked at Su Miaomiao. “I’m fine. I was just communicating with the system. The system has released the itinerary for the second tour group.”
“Really?”
Everyone was instantly energized. They had a chance to travel through time again!
But their excitement lasted only two seconds because He Mu said, “This time, there’s a regional restriction for tourists—they must be homeowners in Jinhu Residential Area.”
Lin Yi was a bit puzzled and asked, “Jinhu Residential Area?”
Su Mu remained silent, simply searching on Baidu. After checking, he realized it was a mid-to-low-end residential area, no wonder he had never heard of it.
He Mu nodded. “Do any of you know people from Jinhu Residential Area? There are five spots available, and the tour fee is 2,000 yuan per person. We need to gather everyone by this time tomorrow.”
Su Mu checked the time and stood up. “No problem, I’ll go buy a house there right now.”
He was determined to become a homeowner in Jinhu Residential Area today!
Lin Yi didn’t want to fall behind. “I’ll go buy a house there first too!”
Thus, the two groups hurriedly came and hurriedly left.
Su Miaomiao wanted to stay and chat with He Mu, but Su Mu didn’t dare leave his beautiful and precious sister behind.
The man behind He Mu had glanced at Su Miaomiao several times, and he wasn’t comfortable with it.
After they left, He Xiaosa withdrew his regretful gaze and said to He Mu, “I know someone who lives in Jinhu Community you mentioned. Maybe he can secure a spot.”
“Who?”
“Your grandma’s comrade-in-arms’ grandson.”
Zhao Meimei had served in the military when she was young—a true standout in the barracks. If it weren’t for a mission that injured her spine, making it impossible for her to continue intense training, she wouldn’t have tearfully retired and been assigned to work as a security guard at F University until her retirement, when she returned home to rest.
He Xiaosa said, “Earlier this year, Old Zeng brought his grandson to visit your grandma. He mentioned living in Jinhu Community and invited us to drop by when we had time.”
He Mu remembered this and went upstairs to find Zhao Meimei.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Meimei smiled and dialed the number. With just one call, the other party agreed.
Before heading to Jinhu Community, He Mu rode her electric scooter to a barbershop to trim her hair.
The hairstylist was someone she knew—a very friendly man named Li Dashan. However, he was at the front desk tutoring a child with homework, so frustrated he was nearly shouting, his face contorted with anger.
“Don’t look at me! My face doesn’t have the answers. Look at the problem and figure it out yourself!”
Li Xiaobao glanced at his homework book and then… drifted off into a daze.
Li Dashan was so angry he almost couldn’t catch his breath.
He Mu walked into the shop and said, “Oh, tutoring homework, huh? Be careful not to give yourself a heart attack. Just the other day, there was a report about a parent who died from anger.”
Li Dashan looked at He Mu, about to retort, but when he saw her hair, he exclaimed, “Xiao Mu, you dyed your hair back to black? I always said black hair suits you best—it makes you even prettier. But where did you get it done? Why didn’t you come to me? I could’ve given you a discount.”
“That’s why I’m here now.”
He Mu sat in the chair. “Just thin it out. Keep the same short hairstyle as before.”
Li Dashan told Li Xiaobao to focus on his homework and walked away from the front desk, which had nearly given him a heart attack. “Thin it out? I haven’t heard that request in a long time. Nowadays, people’s hair is getting thinner and thinner. Many come to me for hair extensions.”
Li Dashan stood behind He Mu and took a look. “Wow, when did your hair get so thick? It’s so black and shiny—such great quality.”
He Mu said, “A big opportunity made my hair grow overnight.”
Li Dashan laughed. “Is that true?”
He Mu replied, “Of course it is. By the way, Old Li, do you live in Jinhu Community?”
Li Dashan nodded. “I’ve lived there for over ten years. Once I save up enough money, I’ll move to a high-end community and experience the good life.”
He Mu’s smile widened. “Jinhu Community is already pretty good, Old Li. Are you interested in traveling?”
Li Dashan knew He Mu’s family ran a travel agency and shook his head. “You’re trying to recruit customers for your uncle, but I’m working like an ox to support my family. How would I have time to go on a leisurely trip?”
He Mu said, “Old Li, weren’t you just curious about how my hair got so thick? Actually, I was visited by a system that allows me to take people on trips across realms. This time, I plan to visit the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of humanity. After all, we are descendants of Yan and Huang.”
Li Dashan’s mouth twitched, not believing a word of it. “Xiao Mu, I know the pressure on high school seniors is intense, but pressure is what drives you. You have to hold on and not let yourself break down.”
“It’s not that. Look.”
He Mu extended her hand, using her mental energy to retrieve an iron whip from the system backpack. In her previously empty hand, a finely crafted iron whip suddenly appeared.
“Holy shit!”
Li Dashan was so startled he nearly dropped the scissors in his hand. “Where did you pull that thing from?”
“The system.”
At the front desk, Li Xiaobao’s eyes lit up, and he rushed straight toward He Mu. “Wow! Sister Xiaomu can do magic!”
Before he could run more than a few steps, Li Dashan grabbed him and hauled him back to the front desk. “Sit still and do your homework! Kids shouldn’t meddle in grown-up matters.”
