Acai's Sky

Chapter 490: The first day of the Lunar New Year...

New Year's Day,

Ah Cai only slept lightly for a few hours.

At that moment, the sound of firecrackers outside suddenly roared, deafening.

She tried to cover her ears tightly with the quilt to prolong her short and precious sleep.

However, due to her high physical attributes, this was like covering one's ears and stealing the bell. The noise still stubbornly penetrated the bedding and reached her ears.

In a hazy state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, she sat up straight in a daze.

At this moment, several pets jumped onto the bed and surrounded her, as if guarding her.

Ah Cai closed her eyes and gently stroked the soft fur of the dog Feiyue. Then she gently picked up 朏朏·Tuantuan, took a deep breath, and felt the familiar warmth on it.

Seeing this, Jin Yuanbao also hurriedly poked his little head out and stuck close to his owner, as if seeking comfort.

A Cai reached out and gently stroked Jin Yuanbao's fluffy hair, feeling the excellent touch.

So she picked him up, rested her forehead gently on Jin Yuanbao's belly, and rubbed it gently, making Jin Yuanbao giggle and laugh uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a transparent blue panel popped up on the system interface, clearly displaying: "Your friend Xiao Xiaoxian invites you to join the team."

Ah Cai had not yet fully woken up from her sleep, and she felt a little confused when she saw this scene.

She subconsciously clicked the "Join" button, and then found herself in a team called "Xiaoxian Suicide Squad".

At this moment, Acai gradually woke up from her haze.

She quickly asked in the team chat: "What's going on? I haven't slept for a few hours!"

Xiaoxian laughed heartily and replied, "I just want to make it easier to contact you! This way, I can save a lot of phone bills!"

Later, Lu Yingqi joined the team with sleepy eyes.

She jokingly said, "Xiaoxian, why does your team name sound so scary? Is it really necessary to fight so hard?"

Ah Cai nodded in agreement, "Exactly. The name 'Suicide Squad' sounds terrifying, especially so early in the morning..."

Xiaoxian stuck close to the screen and chuckled, "Hehe, I've contacted a supermarket and a few stores for you. We should get ready!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yingqi couldn't help but grumble, "Holy crap! Xiaoxian, you're such a jerk! It's only New Year's Day, okay? And the supermarket's already delivering goods to my door?"

Ah Cai also asked curiously: "What's going on with the store?"

Xiaoxian nodded and explained, "Ah, yes, I placed a lot of orders for you. They are all individually packaged meats and other foods, just in case you need them."

Ah Cai straightened her messy hair and asked doubtfully, "Isn't that right? Why did you place the order for us? Did you prepare all this for us?"

Xiaoxian narrowed her eyes and chuckled, saying, "Well... I've reserved a small portion for you. If there are any special circumstances in the future, just give me some."

Hearing this, Lu Yingqi couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Sister, how miserable were your lives in the past? You've even done such meticulous preparations in advance!"

Ah Cai nodded and said, "When I first went on a mission, I only took some things from the B&B and bought a few storage boxes. It wasn't as exaggerated as Xiaoxian."

Lu Yingqi also covered her mouth and whispered, "That's right, the time I went on an interstellar mission, I didn't exaggerate to her extent."

Xiaoxian's face fell, "No one will believe it if I tell you this, you just have to remember, there is a poor girl named Xiaoxian."

Several people burst into laughter at Xiaoxian's appearance.

Ah Cai held the gold ingot and said, "Xiaoxian, how about you go to the kitchen of the B&B and order a batch of large wooden lunch boxes, fill them with your own food and drinks, and eat them directly when you enter the dungeon?"

Xiaoxian still shook her head. "I'm not going to believe you, but last time my quest system backpack malfunctioned and couldn't be opened. Otherwise, how could I be so miserable?"

Ah Cai looked at Xiao Xian and said, "How could the system malfunction? It's impossible. Either it's been blocked... or someone in your dimension has the system, or some aura is preventing you from opening your system backpack!"

Lu Yingqi frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's really possible that someone on her mission had some item that sealed the system backpack. If there were other circumstances, she wouldn't be unaware of it."

When Xiaoxian heard her roommate say this, she was no longer afraid and jumped up happily.

"I'm going to go to the cafeteria and order a big lunch box and fill it with all the delicious food!"

After ending the video call, Acai got up and washed up.

She walked to the door, turned to look at the pets, and asked, "I have a mission with my classmates next. Do you want to come?"

Jin Yuanbao immediately did a back flip and answered excitedly, "Yes, of course. It's been a while since I went on a mission with the Director."

The golden raccoon dog also nodded and said, "Master, we will go too. We can still help you. If not, we can all hide!"

"Okay, you guys go and play first. The owner will notify you when we leave." After saying that, A Cai went into the bathroom to wash up.

……

Xiaoxian rushed out of the villa in a hurry and came to the B&B restaurant.

"Oh, is breakfast ready?" She saw more than a dozen kitchen staff busy moving tableware to the restaurant, busy and orderly.

Seeing that it was the host's classmate, Tong Jiajiu smiled and replied, "There are mostly elderly people in our Taibai Village. They sleep less and get up early, so we have to get ready early."

Xiaoxian followed Tong Jiajiu into the kitchen.

The rice porridge in the pot was emitting wisps of white smoke, bubbling and emitting an enticing aroma.

"Acai asked me to customize a large wooden lunch box to hold food and drinks." Xiaoxian said.

Tong Jiajiu immediately understood what she meant and took her to the storage room in the back kitchen.

After turning on the lights, a spacious and bright warehouse came into view. The warehouse was full of shelves filled with various lunch boxes, food containers and other items.

Coming to the innermost shelf, Tong Jiajiu pointed to a large wooden lunch box and said, "This lunch box can hold two kilograms of dumplings. Just take this!"

Xiaoxian looked at this wooden lunch box with a surprised look on her face. This is not just a lunch box, it is simply a fine work of art.

This wooden lunch box is dark brown in color, with delicate wood grain on the surface, as if telling the story of time.

The lid fits tightly to the box body, with smooth and natural lines without a single flaw, demonstrating the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship.

The four corners of the lunch box are polished to be round and smooth, and feel extremely comfortable, making people want to rub it gently.

The lid of the box is inlaid with an exquisite copper buckle with intricate and exquisite patterns, which adds a simple and elegant charm to the whole lunch box.

When you open the lunch box lid, a light woody fragrance hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy, as if you are in the midst of nature.

The interior of the lunch box is spacious enough to hold two kilograms of dumplings. The inner wall is as smooth as a mirror, without any burrs, and it is obvious that it has been carefully polished.

It is easy to imagine that when the lunch box filled with dumplings is opened, the steaming and fragrant scene will surely make people salivate and unable to stop.
