Starting with building a sandbox town

Bai Youli nodded blankly and said, "He is my brother, that's true... but I also..."

Before Bai Youli could explain, the Black Dragon Gang members arrived again.

She was startled when she saw Wang Wu, the leader.

The usual threats didn't happen. Instead, Wang Wu ran over, panting, and bowed deeply. "Sister, I'm sorry. I was wrong before. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Huh?" Bai Youli subconsciously accepted the gift, but seeing the Black Dragon Gang's attitude, she finally realized what was happening and her mind was filled with disbelief.

Could it be... that my brother... got a promotion?

After giving the gift, Wang Wu gave an awkward smile and left, feeling somewhat resentful. He thought to himself, "Why didn't you tell me you had a senior member earlier... If you had, who would dare to mess with you? They'd be too busy trying to curry favor with you."

After all, their leader, Black Dragon, has been missing for three years, and the Black Dragon Gang is no longer the same Black Dragon Gang it used to be.

"Wow, you actually played dumb to fool everyone, you hid it so well!!" Lin Wei was extremely shocked.

Bai Youli sent Bai Xiu a bunch of question marks.

【? ? ? 】

Bai Xiu only replied: 【Just became a full-time employee.】

【! ! ! 】

Upon seeing this, Bai Youli's adorable little face lit up with a delighted smile.

God!

If her brother really gets a permanent position, then wouldn't Bai Youli become a direct relative of a formal employee of the Firefly Division? Who would dare to bully her then?

"Youli, aren't we best friends?" Lin Wei suddenly smiled beautifully.

"What?" Bai Youli was taken aback.

"Hehe, can you share my brother's contact number with your best friend?" Lin Wei asked expectantly.

"I need to go back and ask my brother," Bai Youli replied after thinking for a moment.

"Mmm!!" Lin Wei's eyes lit up when she heard that.

If she could get close to Yuri, her fate would change.

Then, Bai Youli's situation completely changed. Many shop owners in the vicinity came over to greet her warmly. Bai Youli was a little shy and flattered, as this was the first time she had been in such a situation.

Some bosses even offered gifts, but Bai Youli refused them. She knew they were all asking her brother for favors, and since he had just been promoted, she couldn't let small things jeopardize his future.

……

After visiting his sister, Bai Xiu drove straight back to the airport.

He believed that once the Black Dragon Gang learned that he was Youli's brother, they would be more perceptive.

Or... solve the problem completely?

"No, no, no, this is fine. There's no need to always kill them all. It's also troublesome to cover up our identities after wiping out the Black Dragon Gang." Bai Xiu tried to put on a sunny expression and attempted to convince himself.

In my past life, I had no choice but to kill.

Now that I'm an official, I should maintain a positive image.

Bai Xiu resisted the urge to kill everyone in the Black Dragon Gang and returned to the East River District.

I found a noodle shop to eat at, and then went home to rest.

……

"We can go check out the Sandbox Town now..."

Bai Xiu leaned back on the sofa and glanced at the clock.

The application for the paranormal weapon won't be approved until this afternoon; there's still some time to go.

Having been busy breaking through to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, things have now temporarily come to a halt, and it's time to go back to my hometown.

The sandbox also sensed Bai Xiu's thoughts.

[It can generate corresponding alternate characters for you, such as: ordinary villager, village blacksmith, bartender, traveling merchant, etc.]

Bai Xiu curiously checked out the available identities one by one, and finally chose the traveling merchant.

[Traveling Merchants]

Identity: A merchant from afar, whose whereabouts are shrouded in mystery.

Special Note: Like other characters in Sandbox Town, this character can also summon reality.

"Enter!"

A flash of white light,

Bai Xiu's home had disappeared, replaced by a familiar yet unfamiliar town.

He looked around curiously, and the pixelated house became real; he could even see the grain of the wood.

The most eye-catching thing is in the center of the town, a three-story blue shop with a bird's egg painted on it.

"The Rock Tavern?"

Bai Xiu walked in curiously.

It was surprisingly spacious inside, about 200 square meters. Although there weren't many people, it was quite lively.

"We still need to accelerate the development of the town." Bai Xiu shook his head with amusement. No matter what, they can't all just squeeze into the tavern.

Bai Xiu glanced around casually.

There, dressed in red armor and looking like a comedian, Li Ye and his team were drinking. He seemed quite drunk, his face flushed as he boasted, "Let me tell you... you wouldn't believe it, the reason this tavern was even built was because I found bird eggs. A giant bird, a thousand meters long, charged towards us! It was a near-death experience!"

"Wow, are there really birds this big?"

"A bird several kilometers long? That's terrifying!"

The team members were all shocked.

Bai Xiu's eyes were unreadable.

What the hell is this bird that's several kilometers long...?

That's practically crossed the game map already!

Besides Li Ye, another pale-faced man caught Bai Xiu's attention.

View information.

[Name of Person: Wang Ming]

Background story: During an exploration, a mysterious bee sting entered his body, causing his body to begin acting strangely. He discovered that he carried a deadly poison.

Bai Xiu then remembered.

There is an explorer undergoing mutation, and it seems to have been successful.

Wang Ming now has a new skill icon.

It was an icon depicting green liquid.

This likely represents the ability of the human-faced bee's venom.

not bad.

Bai Xiu glanced at it and then walked towards the counter.

"Hello, what would you like to drink?" Hearing footsteps, Feng Ling subconsciously looked up. After recognizing Bai Xiu, she suddenly exclaimed softly, "Eh, you look unfamiliar. You're not from our town, are you?"

Bai Xiu nodded and smiled, "I'm a traveling merchant, this is my first time here."

"Ah! A traveling merchant, you must know many stories!" Wind Chime's eyes lit up upon hearing Bai Xiu's identity. "My father used to love traveling, but..."

As Feng Ling spoke, her eyes dimmed again, her smile vanished, and she whispered, "However, he perished during the last expedition."

"I'm sorry," Bai Xiu said apologetically.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with you. It's just that I'm not strong enough... that's why I keep thinking about my father, especially at night." Fengling took a deep breath and smiled again. "It's really okay. I know my father died for God. Everyone in the town says he's a hero, and I'm very proud of him."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiu suddenly asked curiously, "Does everyone in your town believe in a god?"

"Of course! It was God who created this beautiful town, and we are all God's children." Wind Chime nodded.

Bai Xiu couldn't help but ask again, "Your father died because of God, have you really never blamed God?"

Upon hearing this, Fengling's expression stiffened for a moment. After hesitating for a while, she said softly, "Really, no... um... okay, maybe a little bit at the beginning, but I know that God's decisions are always well-thought-out. He only wants to make this town better, so Father's sacrifice was unavoidable. God certainly doesn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves."

Bai Xiu felt inexplicably guilty after hearing this.

Is it a well-thought-out plan?

He was simply sending people to explore at will, as if playing a game.

He never imagined that this small town was so real, nor did he ever imagine that his casual actions would determine a person's fate.

Bai Xiu left the tavern. He had originally planned to visit Yinghuo's house again, but now he had lost interest.

When facing enemies, Bai Xiu is the most ruthless, but when faced with a little girl who believes in him, he suddenly becomes somewhat at a loss.

This question is beyond the scope of a seasoned player of the Cycle of Reincarnation.

Bai Xiu wandered aimlessly through the town, his attention wandering, the phrase "The God's every decision is carefully considered" flashing through his mind.

Phew, really...

Going forward, we need to be more cautious in making decisions.

Bai Xiu shrugged helplessly and eventually walked back to the tavern.

The wind chimes were busy greeting other guests and were not at the front desk.

Bai Xiu didn't disturb them. He walked directly to the front desk, took out the lucky flower given by the town at level 2 from his pocket, placed it on the table, and then turned and left.

……

"Alright, Uncle Li Ye, you can't drink anymore! You've already finished all the rock wine!" Feng Ling put her hands on her hips, glaring at Li Ye with a hint of helpless anger.

"Hey, don't be so stingy, Wind Chime. This tavern was able to be established thanks to me! I snatched this precious bird egg from Flying Bird." Li Ye blushed and smiled, spreading his arms in the air as if he were a bird in flight.

"Even so, Uncle, you can't drink anymore, or our tavern will go bankrupt!" Fengling said, both amused and exasperated. "Anyway, I'm not giving you any more alcohol. If you want some, you'll have to wait until tomorrow!"

Fengling pouted and returned to the counter with a sigh.

If we keep drinking like this, we'll finish all of God's wine!

Just as Fengling was contemplating whether to close her shop the next day, a beautiful golden light suddenly appeared before her eyes.

She stared blankly at the counter.

A golden flower was placed on it, its dazzling light flowing like liquid, bathing the wind chime's face in gold under the dim lights of the tavern.

Fengling stared wide-eyed at the flower, completely lost in thought.

How can there be such beautiful flowers in the world?

"Where did this flower come from?" Wind Chime's eyes widened.

"It seems to have been delivered by that stranger who just entered the tavern," one of the patrons replied.

Feng Ling was slightly taken aback after hearing this.

That somewhat mysterious yet very kind face involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

After realizing what had happened, she immediately rushed out of the tavern, looking around in a daze.

Unfortunately, there was no one outside; the traveling merchant seemed to have already left.
