Survival [End Times]

"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest [Caring for the Elderly], which rewards 600 points of Xinhuo points, completing the side quest [Ultimate Evolution], which rewards 900 points of Xinhuo points, and completing the hidden achievement [Like a Fish in Water], which rewards the soul attribute [Water Spirit]. Finally, the number of books stored in the host's memory is calculated, and the total is 4.73451 billion Xinhuo points."

Yu Heng sat by the river and listened to rt9009's summary. As for why there were so many books calculated, it was because after Zhen Yang gained power in the later period, he was able to access all the book collections preserved by the country, which was a great gain.

Then he asked, "What's the use of Shuiling?"

"That is, the host has a strong affinity for water, and can move freely in the water. He can learn breaststroke and butterfly stroke and other things at a world-class level. He will not get leg cramps underwater, and drowning is impossible~"

"Sounds good."

"Okay." Ruiting also came down from the air and sat beside him with his knees hugged: "Does the host want to continue the mission or go on vacation? For vacation, there are family visits and other resorts in other fictional worlds. Which one do you want to choose?"

"Go home."

"Okay, you get ready and I'll take you back." Ruiting sighed. The host really chose to go home to visit relatives. There was no other choice.

The last time he went home, Yu Heng had already practiced to the late stage of Qi training level 1. This time he came back with a goal, which was to advance to the second level of Qi training. But if he failed, it didn't matter. He couldn't practice for the whole vacation.

He spent a few days leisurely playing with his parents and helping out in the store. In the eyes of Yu's father and mother, they couldn't see any changes in their son. Come to think of it, we just met yesterday, what changes can there be when we get up today?

No one knows that he has spent more than seventy years somewhere else.

While the middle and lower levels are living their lives without noticing, the high-level officials of all continents in Zhenwei Continent have already known about the incident in Zhenmiao Continent.

This is an opportunity where danger and opportunity coexist! It is undeniable that even if the ancient secret realm in the new world is the realm of the devil, the danger should not be underestimated, but there is a great possibility that ancient treasures are preserved. Under the fear and expectation of the native monks of Zhenmiao Continent, they plan to digest this secret realm of the devil locally. However, other continents still received the news, and even if it was delayed for several months, it did not affect their fighting mood at all.

After the news reached Zhenwei Continent, those who had a way to get a glimpse of it began to act.

Various elixirs for calming the mind, offensive talismans of the thunder system, talisman elixirs for removing the devil in the body, etc., flying treasures to resist the devil, are all very popular. Even the Yu family's store had a peak in performance, business was particularly hot, and they even made a few spiritual stones. Yu's mother was so happy that she stuffed all the spiritual stones into Yu Heng's pockets when he came out of retreat: "Take them and use them."

"Where did the spiritual stones come from?"

Yu's mother was waiting for him to ask! She smiled and said, "Business has been very good recently. I heard that some secret realm is about to be opened, so those monks are trying their best to accumulate supplies. Our family has made a small fortune."

Yu Heng immediately praised her, "Mom is really capable. You have worked hard. I will go to the store to look after you."

"It's okay, it's not hard. I will just sit and collect money. Your father will greet customers." Faced with her son's thoughtfulness, Yu's mother was very happy and rejected her son's request. "You are very tired when you just came out. Don't think I don't know that cultivation is hard. I stewed soup on the stove. You go and drink it. After drinking, go and play by yourself. You don't need to come to the store to help."

However, there are not many such highly targeted products in the store. Yu's mother did not dare to disturb her son's cultivation. Now that her son came out, she hurriedly asked if there was any stock in this area? If there was, take it out. It happened to be in short supply recently and can be sold at a good price.

"Yes, I will go to the store to replenish the stock later."

Yu Heng finished the soup and went to the store. The business in the store was indeed very good. He first went to the warehouse to replenish the stock, and then tore off the out-of-stock notice on the door. Soon, customers came in, and in the afternoon, the small storefront was crowded.

He observed that they were all casual cultivators from the neighborhood, and he had seen most of them. He asked a familiar cultivator, who hesitated for a long time, but still wanted to make friends with the owner of this store to lay a long-term foundation, so he whispered to him: "In fact, I also heard it from my uncle. My uncle is not particularly clear, but he only knows that there is movement from Yingzong, and he is buying these things in large quantities-"

He pointed to a counter in the store. Yu Heng knew that those were elixirs and talismans with calming effects, all related to demonic energy.

The cultivator sighed embarrassedly: "We are also following the trend, and we plan to prepare first. I only know these, and other young masters will have to ask others."

Yu Heng decided to give this cultivator a discount and personally sent the cultivator who showed a happy expression out.

When he returned home after closing the shop at night, Yu's father and mother asked him, "Why don't we stop selling for the time being? Let's keep these good things for you?"

Yu Heng shook his head, "I'm only at the first level of Qi training now. If there is really a secret realm, I'll just be delivering food to others if I go there." The implication was that he would not go.

Yu's father quickly said, "That's right, it's better not to go. Your mother and I should earn more spiritual stones for you to practice."

Speaking of practice, Yu Heng had not succeeded in his attempt to reach the second level of Qi training a while ago, and he thought he should borrow the power of spiritual stones. He sorted out the spiritual stones on hand, plus the money his parents earned recently and the previous savings, a total of 105 yuan, and planned to use them as power storage when leveling up.

Although there is spiritual energy everywhere in Nanzhou, after staying there for a long time, it is actually no different. He is somewhat looking forward to places like Yingzong where large sects are located. It is said that they are all built on spiritual veins. The spiritual energy is overwhelming in the mountain protection formation, and the speed of cultivation can be a thousand miles a day. This is also one of the reasons why countless casual cultivators dream of cultivating to the foundation-building stage and finding an opportunity to worship in the immortal sect.

Without a good spiritual environment like the sect's spiritual veins, they can only rely on absorbing the spiritual energy from the spiritual stones to cultivate.

"I'll help in the store recently." After practicing for a while, he also wanted to take a break.

"Will it delay your practice?"

"No." After saying that, he saw his parents smiling, and Yu Heng couldn't help laughing: "Then you have to call me when you go out tomorrow."

Yu's mother smiled and said: "Okay, Mom will remember to call you, let's go to the street to have breakfast together, okay?"

"Okay."

The next day, Yu's mother really called Yu Heng to get up. He saw the time and knew that it was an hour later than usual. Knowing his parents' thoughtfulness, he didn't point it out, and obediently went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

After that, they went to have breakfast together. The local food of Nanzhou is very unique. It can be said that you can rarely eat the same food on the same street. Yu's mother found the feeling of feeding Yu Heng when he was a child. She continued to buy while eating. His hands were never empty.

When he arrived at the store, he was already... full.

So he stood at the door to entertain customers and digest his food. As a result, Yu's mother saw that he was "very bored" and stuffed another bag of snacks into him: "There are more after you finish eating! I'll ask your dad to buy them."

"...Okay."

Ruiting stood beside him and whispered: "I can help you eat." Although others couldn't hear it even if it shouted, it was still very integrated with the environment, and spoke softly on tiptoe.

Yu Heng could communicate with it in his mind, so he said: "Okay, you take it carefully." He specially moved a small stool to sit on so that it would be convenient for the other party to take it.

Ruiting was very happy, and didn't care about his image. He sat cross-legged on the ground, happily touching the roasted nuts from the paper bag, biting them with a crunching sound.

He looked at it for a moment, and always felt that it was not good for a girl who looked sixteen or seventeen to sit like this. So he went back to the house and moved a bench, sat on it himself, and motioned Jiujiu to sit on the spot against the wall.

"Thank you, host." Ruiting felt happier.

Until he went back at night, he saw the fat little yellow bird smash into the host's arms, and he puffed up his face unconsciously, then looked down at his body shape, and his cheeks puffed up even more. The next second, he turned into the shape of a little red ball before and smashed it.

Yu Heng Momo touched Ruiting again, with a smile in his eyes: "What's wrong? Haven't you eaten anything?" He was asking the reed eagle, and saw that half of the dinner left for it at noon was left on the table.

It would have been better if he didn't ask. Once he asked, the reed eagle became more coquettish, rubbing against his arms: "I'm losing hair, it hurts."

... He saw that after rubbing, there was a pile of small fluff in his arms.

"What's wrong?" After thinking for a while, the reed eagle was in the growth period again? "Growth period?"

"It seems so."

He put the eagle on the small bed he had made, and asked it with his chin on his hand: "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." This is the last growth period for the eagle. After this time, it will grow bigger again. It can be said that how big it will be in the future will all be developed in this time. There is no danger, as long as there is sufficient nutrition.

"Red balls, eat red balls."

Rui Ting suddenly got angry and swooped into Yu Heng's clothes. Yu Heng understood it all at once: "Candied haws? OK, I'll buy it for you."

The night market was very lively in the evening. He went to the street to buy steamed buns, cakes and candied haws, and took a bunch of them home. Yu's father and mother were still awake, so he accompanied them to eat supper before returning to the bedroom. The eagle ate two strings of candied haws and fell asleep contentedly under the small quilt.

Ruiting looked at it for a while, then went to rub against Yu Heng: "Host, host, let's go to bed too." Yu Heng didn't know what he was thinking, so he nodded and blew out the candle.

Squeezing around the host's neck, Ruiting conjured up eight short hands to pull the host's pajamas, pretending to cover himself with them, with a hint of disdain in his heart: My quilt is much better than yours, hum~

Yu Heng stayed for another half a month, and the vacation was over soon. Before going back to "work", the reed eagle still hadn't passed the growth period. He touched its head, and the reed eagle looked at him in confusion: "Are you going on a long journey? Can you take me with you?"

"No, go to bed early, good night."

"Oh, good night." It combed its feathers, which were half bald, and fell asleep in the quilt. Before going to bed, it always felt that someone was watching it. It poked its head out and looked around. The room was dark and there was no one else.

"How strange..."
