My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 191 Limited-Time Mission...

Xin Nian moved her fingers slightly, and a spatial barrier unfolded beneath everyone's feet.

He drew out a relatively large area before turning to nod slightly to his father.

Old Xin understood and waved his hand.

"We'll rest here for three hours, eat something to replenish our energy, and then set off again later when the sun is lower and it's not so hot."

"Commander, the ground here is a little hot..."

The group of people, who were all talking at once, were stunned to see the group leader sitting down calmly with an unchanging expression.

The group looked at each other, tried to sit down slowly, and found that the ground didn't seem as uneven as before.

They curiously reached out and touched it.

"Brother, why does it feel like there's a thin transparent panel between us when we sit here?" Wang Ermao exclaimed in surprise.

Wang Damao gave him a wink, and the latter reluctantly shut up.

"Stop talking nonsense. They haven't even said anything yet. Why are you talking so much to show off your intelligence? Hurry up and eat something and get some sleep."

Er Mao's younger brother was scolded by his older brother, so he touched his nose and obediently took out his dry food to eat.

Everyone was eating the dry food and drinking water they had brought with them.

Xin Wen'an's eyes darted around, and he sidled up to Xin Wenyuan, saying, "Fourth brother, fourth brother."

Xin Wenyuan glanced at him sideways, "What kind of trouble are you trying to cause now?"

Xin Wen'an blushed. "Look at what you're saying. I stopped causing trouble a long time ago, okay? Hey, I just want to ask, how does my niece plan to divide those three cartloads of grain?"

Xin Wenyuan glared at him, "You're up to no good again, aren't you?"

"How could that be?" Xin Wen'an clicked his tongue and moved closer to his fourth brother. "I was just asking out of curiosity, that's all."

"Actually, other people just don't dare to ask. I'm just asking the questions that are on their minds."

"Heh, I really have to thank you then." Xin Wenyuan rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Didn't we already make the rules clear before? Redeem with points."

"I only have six points now, how many days' worth of rations can I get?" Xin Wen'an said anxiously, nagging Xin Wenyuan, "Fourth brother, we've been on the road yesterday and today, how are we supposed to earn points?"

"If you're careful with your six points, you can eat for twenty days," Xin Wenyuan replied coldly.

The latter glared at his beloved fourth brother and said dryly, "So what happens next? What if we run out of points?"

"You still have plenty of grain, what's the rush?"

“Of course we’re worried, it’s a matter of life and death. I believe the others aren’t saying anything because they’re afraid their niece won’t dare to speak up.” Xin Wen’an nudged his younger brother with his elbow. “Fourth brother, you can’t let your brother down!”

"Mother! Instead of resting properly, the third son is trying to get something out of me again!"

The old lady was munching on a dry, flowery biscuit when she heard this and glared at him. "Third son, what are you doing? This place is so big, why do you have to squeeze in with your brother?"

Xin Wen'an quickly went to shut the fourth brother's mouth, glared at him angrily, and left with the words "You're ruthless" before slinking back to Zhuang's side.

Zhuang was soaking dried cakes in water when she saw him return and glanced at him.

Xin Wen'an quickly stepped forward to flatter her, "Ya Fen, you and your daughter must have earned quite a few points these past few days..."

Zhuang Yafen rolled the mat around herself, lay down and went to sleep, too lazy to say another word to him.

Xin Wen'an stood frozen in place, grinding his teeth in anger.

Everyone took out their bedding to shield themselves from the scorching sun. After a nap, they woke up covered in sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Xin Nian jumped up and said to the group members, "Wake up, everyone! A beautiful night is about to begin. Before that, I'm going to give you all a limited-time points task."

"Within half an hour, collect charcoal from the surrounding area and hand it all over to me. One hundred catties of charcoal can be exchanged for one point."

Xie Ninglan gaped. Xin Wenyuan, who had just woken up from his dream, rubbed his forehead and looked at his daughter with the eyes of someone looking at a rich man.

The couple were still dumbfounded and didn't react, but the other members of the group were the first to get moving, chattering, "Well, then we won't pack these things for now. Sixth Miss, could you please take a look?"

"Yes, yes, let's go collect charcoal now! Commander, please keep an eye on the luggage."

Almost everyone responded enthusiastically. The fastest runner was Aunt Wang, who grabbed three baskets, and her daughter-in-law and daughter all pitched in.

“One hundred jin!” Xie Ninglan opened her mouth again.

Xin Wenyuan was still half-asleep and confused. "One point?"

It's truly a case of landlords and rich people exploiting innocent people...

It's a time-limited mission, so... the group members are all just pitiful gamers. My daughter is the NPC who controls everything!
Chang Mianmian sat up abruptly, her hair a mess, and looked around. "Where are they going?"

Mr. and Mrs. Xin answered with blank expressions.

"Your sister made them collect charcoal."

"One point for every 100 jin (50 kg)." The key was that everyone was happy; they didn't feel exploited at all...

Xin Nian strolled over with her hands behind her back, praising, "Everyone is very clear about their desire to earn points! You must be very happy to lead such a motivated team, Dad."

Xin Wenyuan: ...

What could he say?

The couple kept glancing at their daughter.

"What kind of look is that?" Xin Nian raised her chin. "I didn't exploit them. This hundred catties of charcoal was just a piece of cake. It's like giving away points."

What kind of power is that Heavenly Fire?!

With a series of crackling sounds, a chaotic fire broke out, and one can only imagine how much was buried under the ruins.

The road ahead is lined with small villages, so why not pick up any unclaimed items?

“I’ll go take a look too. If there are any intact bricks, I’ll pack them up as well. You guys stay here and watch the luggage. I’ll go talk to them.”

When things settle down and we build a house, we'll need bricks, mortar, and other materials. It's better to collect some than nothing.

Zhoucun and the rest of the group kept a close eye on the group ahead, even assigning someone to watch them while they slept, for fear that the adults might take advantage of their inattention and lead the group away, abandoning them...

They thought that once they got up, they would continue on their way.

To everyone's surprise, the group ahead abandoned their luggage and ran towards the next village to collect their belongings.

After discussing it with the village chief, Old Man Zhou decided to have his eldest son, Zhou Jian, lead a group of people to go and see if there was anything they could find.

The group spent half an hour collecting the items and another fifteen minutes registering their points.

After finishing their work, everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

They were incredibly lucky; a large timber yard had been built in the village, and with everyone working together to clear away the rubble covering it, they discovered this treasure.

Most people earned at least one point. Some of the faster ones, like the brothers from Longhu Village, found two or three hundred catties of charcoal and also brought back a lot of bricks, stones, mud, and sand.

"These bricks and stones look brand new, and they were almost completely preserved under two large stone slabs. I guess the lumberyard was originally planning to repair and expand the house, but then a fire broke out."

A collective sigh rippled through the crowd. After handing over their goods, each person silently counted their points, figuring out how many days' worth of food they had. They then happily packed their bags and lined up to set off.

At this moment, the village chief and Old Man Zhou found Xin Wenyuan, and they hesitated a bit.

"Is there something you two old men want?"

"I am Zhou Dafa, the village chief of Zhoucun."
