The timeline system has gone awry; they insist that steamed buns are a magic pill.

[The mission involves collecting the corpses of one hundred Bloodthirsty Poisonous Insects; the reward is one bottle of Blood-Replenishing Pills.]

Collecting the corpses of bloodthirsty poisonous insects would reward him with blood-replenishing pills. Li Qingqiu's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out the Six God Insect-Exterminating Powder, which was very similar to Six Six Powder, and sprinkled some in every corner of the room. Then he opened the quilt, the sheets, the meadow, and left no corner untouched.

Li Qingqiu didn't stop until the whole bottle of Liushen Insecticide Powder was used up. He sat by the door and waited for about two meal times. Then he returned to the house and began collecting the dead fleas little by little. A hundred fleas! He thought it would take a lot of effort.

Unexpectedly, there were nearly eighty fleas on the bed alone. No wonder I was itchy all over this morning. With so many fleas, it's no wonder I was itchy all night. Once I had collected a hundred fleas, the task was successfully completed.

Are fleas really bloodthirsty poisonous insects?

Li Qingqiu was reluctant to accept it; perhaps this cultivation system had gone astray.

"Let's take a look at the blood-replenishing pill first." A small brown ceramic bottle appeared in Li Qingqiu's hand. He opened the bottle and poured out a pill. Li Qingqiu blinked.

"This looks like the donkey-hide gelatin blood-tonifying pills my mom takes?"

Li Qingqiu put one in his mouth, chewed it, and found that they all tasted the same. Could it really be a donkey-hide gelatin blood-nourishing pill? Agar nutmeg pills are meat buns, and donkey-hide gelatin blood-nourishing pills are blood-nourishing pills. Is this really a cultivation system?

"Let's take a look at the interface first."

[Complete the mission to eliminate the bloodthirsty poisonous insects, reward points +1]

Having completed the mission of eliminating the bloodthirsty poisonous insects, Li Qingqiu's points reached 12. He inquired about the use of the system points and learned that they could be used for lottery draws. The basic lottery draw required 100 points, but he didn't ask any further questions about the intermediate and advanced draws.

Currently, it's the newbie village protection period, and there's a 50% discount on the beginner lottery. You only need 50 points to participate in the beginner lottery, which makes Li Qingqiu even more hopeful.

The prizes won in the lottery are worth five to ten times more than those won by signing in. However, the conditions for signing in are simple: just cultivate the Lazy Eater Method. As for what the Lazy Eater Method is, Li Qingqiu doesn't understand it either. Today, he completed the cultivation task without doing anything and got the chance to sign in.

"I'll try again tomorrow," Li Qingqiu guessed. The Lazy Eater Method was probably just what it sounded like. As for the Gold Spirit Coupons, they just happened to match the amount of money in his pocket, and the Silver Spirit Plant Coupons matched the amount of food coupons.

Li Qingqiu fell silent, feeling that the cultivation system seemed to have gone astray. Perhaps he was overthinking it; he was just starting out and would definitely be able to cultivate immortality in the future. After comforting himself with this thought, he finally felt better.

First, tidy up the cave. Although Li Qingqiu wasn't a clean freak, he wasn't that filthy either. It was clean and tidy, not necessarily fragrant, but at least clean and refreshing, and free of fleas.

"Third Uncle, dinner's ready." Li Xianshu, the eldest brother's youngest daughter, cautiously peeked into the room through the door and softly called out to Li Qingqiu, who was shaking the sheets and making the bed. Li Qingqiu didn't stop what he was doing, but turned around and smiled in response. "Okay, thank you, Xianshu. Third Uncle will wash his hands and come over."

"Um."

Li Xianshu blushed slightly, not quite understanding what her third uncle meant by saying thank you. However, she knew that her mother had told her not to play with her third uncle. But her third uncle was handsome, the most handsome man in the family. Why didn't her mother let her older siblings play with him?

Li Qingqiu glanced at the little girl with a slightly flushed face and smiled. Although Li Xianshu was eleven years old, she was about the same height as a seven or eight-year-old child in later generations. She was wearing trousers full of patches and a gray cotton-padded jacket. Although they were worn out, they were still clean, unlike the boys whose sleeves and trouser legs were covered in black grease and dirt.

It's a pity the little girl isn't getting enough nutrition, so we need to find a chance to get some meat to nourish her. But thinking about how she'll be eating dried sweet potatoes and mixed grain porridge again, Li Qingqiu sighed. Mixed grains are more expensive than regular rice and flour in later generations, but you only realize how unpalatable they are when you actually eat them every day.

The dried sweet potatoes were even worse. Li Qingqiu had never eaten such bad dried sweet potatoes before. They were dry, bitter, and gritty, like gnawing on tree bark. But there was nothing he could do. They were cheap, less than a tenth the price of rice or wheat flour.

This is the staple food for most farmers. At least in the short term, Li Qingqiu doesn't think his family's diet will change, especially now that it's winter and there's no need to rush to harvest. Most families will save food, eating less dry food and more soup.

Upon arriving at the shack, Li Qingqiu found lunch laid out on a large wooden board: cornbread, dried sweet potatoes, and pickled vegetables. To his surprise, there was also a small bowl of steamed egg custard.

This tiny bowl of steamed egg custard attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the youngest ones, Li Xianye, Li Xianshu, and the youngest eight-year-old Li Xianqing, were drooling, their eyes looking like they were glued to the steamed egg custard.

Even in later generations, Li Qingqiu probably wouldn't be willing to eat steamed egg custard.

Even now, adults can't help but swallow hard, let alone children. Shi Lanhua glanced at it and sighed. "Alright, time to eat. Eggs, Third Brother, you lost a lot of blood yesterday, eat something to replenish yourself."

Li Qingqiu was somewhat surprised, because every slap Shi Lanhua gave him yesterday was a real one, and he didn't expect her to steam egg custard for him separately this time.

If it were the original owner of this body, she probably wouldn't care and would have just eaten it.

Li Qingqiu, however, was different. He had more to consider. Needless to say, his second sister-in-law, Lin Xiu, was probably rolling her eyes. His younger sister, though her head was down, was probably also complaining. His older brother and sister-in-law were probably a little better. As for his nephew and niece, Li Qingqiu glanced at them. Although they were all eating cornbread, their eyes were glancing at the steamed egg custard out of the corner of their eyes.

"I'll just eat a little."

Li Qingqiu first served some steamed egg custard to Li Xianshu, and then some to Li Xianqing and the other children. He ate less than a third of it himself, which surprised everyone. Li Qingqiu would never normally do this.

What's wrong? He's broken his head and now he's changed his mind? Even Shi Lanhua looked at this third son with a surprised expression.

"Let's add another egg tomorrow," Shi Lanhua said indifferently, still munching on dried sweet potato and not even wanting to eat the cornbread. Li Qingqiu thought to himself that Shi Lanhua really hit him and scolded him harshly, but he was still his son, and it still hurt him to see him bleeding.

"These next two days, just stay home and rest to recover. Try not to go out."

After finishing the meal, Shi Lanhua gave some instructions, and Li Qingqiu nodded hurriedly. After all, he had lost a lot of blood and needed to rest and replenish his blood and energy. In addition, he had a lot of things on his mind that he needed to think about. Of course, the most important thing now was to wash the sheets and blankets, clean the room, and preferably sprinkle some lime in the room. If there was no lime, he could burn some tree branches.

Besides this, there is also a cave formation and a clearing task. Although each point is not much, every extra point can be used to advance further in the lottery. Li Qingqiu even plans to change his fate by relying on the lottery.

"Wash the sheets and blankets? What's the point of washing them in this snowy weather? How can we do that? You always have such unpredictable ideas." Shi Lanhua almost poked Li Qingqiu's forehead with her finger when she heard him say that he wanted to scoop water to wash the sheets and blankets in the snow. Li Qingqiu didn't say anything but insisted that the sheets and blankets had to be washed, and the meadow on the bed also had to be cleaned up, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of the fleas completely.

"You're always causing me trouble."

In the end, Shi Lanhua was worried that her son, who had just been injured and bleeding, would get sick from the cold water, so she called her little girl to help clean him up. Li Qingqiu, on the other hand, was free to do the work of cleaning the meadow and the hut.

The younger sister, Li Qingmei, washed the bedsheets, and her hands were so cold that they turned bright red. Her hands, which were already cracked and bleeding from the cold, were now even more painful, making her even more annoyed with her third brother.

Li Qingqiu wasn't unaware of his younger sister's change in expression, but there was nothing he could do. His mother wouldn't let him take action, and he'd have to find another opportunity to reconcile with his sister later.

[Completed the setup and cleanup of the basic cave dwelling formation, earning +1 point]

Li Qingqiu paused for a moment, then simply laid out the new meadow, dried the sheets and changed the blankets. That was considered setting up the magic array. He also cleaned up the old meadow where there might be fleas and tidied up some small huts. This completed the cleaning of the cave.

It's really that simple. Li Qingqiu became more and more suspicious. Was there something wrong with this cultivation system? Did the cultivation module forget to load? For the next two days, Li Qingqiu didn't go out much and studied the Lazy Food Method cultivation.

In two days, he roughly figured it out: when the work bell rang, the Lazy Eater Technique would automatically begin to be practiced. Li Qingqiu guessed that the so-called Lazy Eater Technique was just about being lazy; it would automatically begin to be practiced when not working.

When the production brigade was at work, it was the family's cultivation time in the system. Li Qingqiu was somewhat on the verge of a breakdown in his Dao heart. This was just how it was.

"Forget it, these past two days of signing in, I got two eggs—no, spirit eggs—from the chicken coop once, and two ounces of soybean oil—spiritual oil—from the kitchen once. Luckily, it wasn't divine oil, or I would have really collapsed. It seems that the items you get from signing in are related to the location. I'll try again next time to confirm."

In addition, she received two more points, bringing her total to 15. She is still some distance from reaching 50 points. After resting for two days, Li Qingqiu was called to work by Shi Lanhua early on the third day. However, due to health reasons, she was assigned to the women's production team group.

Li Qingqiu gritted his teeth and went to the first group of the women's production team. Although the work was relatively easy, it was still a bit embarrassing for a man to be in the women's group. Why didn't my mother tell me earlier? If it didn't work out, I would rather be assigned to the children's group. I didn't really want to come to the women's group. These old women would probably gossip a lot.

"Isn't he supposed to be marrying a city girl, the third son of a cultured man? Why doesn't he go to the city?" Big-Foot Sister-in-law couldn't help but tease Li Qingqiu, whose face was fair and delicate. "The kind of work we do isn't suitable for someone with a fair complexion like you."

"Don't you all agree? He married a city girl, why doesn't he go to the city to enjoy life instead of messing around with us peasants?"

The other women, including the aunt and sister-in-law, laughed along. "You bet! With that small frame and cute looks, who knows, some city folks might even like that kind of girl."

"Hahaha, third brother, tell me, when are you going to bring your city wife back so we can see what city people look like?" These old women, they must have nothing better to do than spout nonsense.

Li Qingqiu's cheeks flushed slightly. He was just a recent college graduate, and his skin wasn't thick enough yet. Although he wanted to shut up these gossipy old women, he was still a novice and couldn't possibly beat these crotch-wielding old women.

[The host is ridiculed and mocked by a female cultivator in the family, triggering the "Thirty Years East of the River, Thirty Years West of the River, Don't Underestimate a Young Man's Potential" quest, which opens a side trial quest to improve cultivation and enhance the family's status.]

Li Qingqiu was speechless. What was this nonsense? But he couldn't let these old women continue to make fun of him. "Big Foot Sister-in-law, I was just about to ask you for a favor. I heard that your sister got into high school and went to study in the county town. She's practically a city person now. Why don't you introduce her to me? It's better not to let an outsider benefit from this."

"Pah!"

Big-Foot Sister-in-law almost spat in Li Qingqiu's face. She was all smiles just a moment ago, but now her expression had changed. "A toad trying to eat swan meat! My sister is someone you can't possibly be interested in. Say another word and I'll slap you."

"Third brother, you're really shameless. He's a high school student, what kind of education do you have? You still want to curry favor with him? You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. You know what you're made of." Wang Yulan, a member of Qinghui's family, had always disliked Li Qingqiu because Li Qingqiu had offended her a few years ago.

"Alright, time to get to work. That plot of land on the hillside, we're going to dig it all up today." Wang Xiuju, the wife of the brigade leader Li Fuyuan, who was also the women's director and the leader of the women's brigade, finally stepped forward. Although she didn't like Li Qingqiu either, she was still the leader and couldn't let Li Qingqiu delay the work.

Li Qingqiu followed the first production group of the women's brigade up the hillside. Little did she know that the work of the women's brigade was not easy either. Several plots of land on the hillside had to be turned over so that the soil would be loose and easy to sow seeds in the spring. Although Li Qingqiu had fragments of memory of using a hoe, she was still a bit rusty.

"No wonder he wants to marry a city woman, he looks so effeminate even using this hoe." Several of his sisters-in-law and aunts teased him about it, but Li Qingqiu didn't care. He would give these female cultivators a good slap in the face once he completed his mission.

"Lazy Eater Method 30/120." Half a day has passed, and I've been in basic training. The problem is that basic training doesn't give points or rewards. Only by resting and using the Lazy Eater Method can I sign in and get rewards and points.

These female cultivators not only teased and mocked him for being a skilled worker, but also for being an excellent worker, never slacking off. Li Qingqiu had only slacked off for thirty minutes so far, and his Lazy Eater Technique was not progressing smoothly.

"Auntie, my head hurts a bit, I want to rest for a while." Li Qingqiu decided to abandon all pretense of modesty; practicing the Lazy Eater Technique and signing in were the real priorities.

"Are you alright?"

Wang Xiuju knew that Li Qingqiu had his head cracked open a couple of days ago. Although she had some doubts, she couldn't just refuse outright, since she would be responsible if anything went wrong. "Then you should rest for a while."

"Sanzi, have you found the person who cracked your skull? Are you going to try and extort money from him to pay you back?"

"Third brother, what do the meat buns from the commune taste like? You're so eager to risk getting your head banged for a meat bun."

"Sister-in-law Guihua, it must be delicious, otherwise why would Lao San be craving it so much?"

Hearing this, Li Qingqiu felt quite annoyed, but he still smiled. "You bet! Those steaming hot meat buns right out of the steamer, with their white dough and mouthfuls of meat and broth after just one bite, are so delicious! Eating one makes you feel like you're in heaven. I can't give them up."

"Pooh."

"All that's left is a mouth."

"A grown man eating like this."

Li Qingqiu chuckled, "You old women are so jealous!" With that, Li Qingqiu took a few steps up the embankment and went to the high bushes to relieve himself and rest for a while. However, after digging for a short while, Li Qingqiu complained of a headache again.

Despite the glares and mockery, Li Qingqiu finally managed to collect the two hours for his "lazy eating method" and breathed a sigh of relief. [Sign-in successful. Sign-in location: Beginner Trial Grounds. Received a map of the Rabbit Monster's Nest. Points +2]

[Trial quest triggered: Hunt down the rabbit monster; quest reward points +5]

Rabbit Warcraft, Li Qingqiu quickly took out the nest map and also looked at some sign-in maps. At this stage, he was in the newbie village, and the sign-in area was mainly Lijia'ao and several surrounding hills, as well as the only sign-in point that lit up in the commune area - Qiongzhi Nutmeg Shop, which was Li Qingqiu's starting point.

Refreshing the map, Li Qingqiu noticed that the location of the rabbit monster looked familiar. Wasn't this the bush where he had just peed?

"Why does this rabbit-like magical beast look like a wild rabbit?" Forget it, let's plan ahead. Even with the nest map, Li Qingqiu wasn't confident he could catch the rabbit-like magical beast.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows; this place has five entrances."

Li Qingqiu muttered to himself, "As expected of the Rabbit Monster, two of its cave entrances are hidden in the bushes. This is going to be difficult." Fortunately, the map was extremely clear. With the help of this Rabbit Monster cave map, Li Qingqiu found the hidden entrances without much effort.

"Set a trap."

Li Qingqiu recalled that his grandfather seemed to know how to set traps. He had learned a little bit about it before, but just to be on the safe side, Li Qingqiu planned to ask his grandfather for a proper lesson on how to set up hunting traps.

"How about learning how to use hunting traps from your grandfather?"

Li Fuhai's eyes widened. This kid was always coming up with something unexpected. "You think wild things in the mountains are easy to hunt? We hunted them too fiercely a few years ago. Now it's not easy to find these wild things. Last year, your old hunter uncle didn't catch ten wild things all winter. He was the best hunter in the surrounding area."

"I just want to learn it; maybe I'll find it useful."

Li Qingqiu's completely irresponsible and stubborn attitude made Shi Lanhua want to slap him a few more times. As for the eldest brother Li Qingchun and sister-in-law Wang Yun, they exchanged a glance. This third brother really does whatever he wants. They need to explain to the children later that they dare not follow his example.

What if he grows up? I've seen his mother worrying so much about her third son that her hair has turned white. Sigh, Li Qingchun sighed and thought to himself that he should find some time to have a good talk with his third son and find a woman who had fled famine to settle down with.

In the end, Li Qingqiu persuaded Li Fuhai to go to his grandfather's house with him. When his grandfather, Li Shishan, learned that his second and third grandsons wanted to learn how to set hunting traps, he wanted to say a few words of advice. In recent years, there have been very few wild animals in the mountains, and setting hunting traps depends entirely on luck. They can only catch a few wild animals a year, which is a huge loss. He hasn't set hunting traps for many years.

"If the child wants to learn, then you should teach them."

Grandma, doting on Li Qingqiu, spoke up for him, and Grandpa finally nodded. Hunting traps are not difficult to put into words, but the key is to learn some hunting skills that come with them, such as how to read animal tracks, how to distinguish the footprints of rabbits, wild boars, pheasants, and other wild animals, and how to identify their feathers.

Fortunately, Li Qingqiu had a map of the rabbit monster's lair, so he didn't need to learn any of that knowledge. He only needed to learn how to set hunting traps, which wasn't difficult to learn and could be mastered in one night.

When Li Qingqiu returned home quite proudly after mastering the skill, he passed by Li Qingmei, whose younger sister glanced at him and shook her head slightly.

He's lazy, good-for-nothing, and unreliable. No one, not even his sister, would look at him. Unless a blind person would be interested in him, let alone city women or educated people.

Li Qingmei sighed. She wanted to move to the city. The city was better; people had plenty of food and clothing, unlike in the remote mountain village where they had to wait until the New Year to eat a white flour bun.

There were plenty of cloth coupons, so she could have new clothes every year. How wonderful! Li Qingmei longed to go to the city to find a job. Unfortunately, her mother, Shi Xiulan, refused to pay for her travel and meals when the county factories recruited workers several times. Otherwise, she would have liked to take the exam.

Thinking of this, Li Qingmei felt even more resentful, resenting her unreliable third brother. She had spent more than ten yuan on blind dates for him, enough for her to go to the county town for exams three or four times. And her mother still favored boys over girls.

As she got up and passed by Li Qingqiu, Li Qingmei glared at her before angrily returning to her small room.

Li Qingqiu muttered to himself, "What's wrong with this girl now? I haven't offended her these past few days. Oh well, I'd better hurry up and prepare, weave a few more straw ropes, and set a hunting trap tomorrow to capture the rabbit monster."

The next morning, Li Qingqiu, with several straw ropes wrapped around her body, went to work with the women's brigade, which aroused the ridicule of Big-Foot Sister-in-law, Wang Yulan and others, who said, "What's wrong? Are you planning to hang yourself?"

"A bunch of ignorant old women."

Li Qingqiu was quite disdainful of joining them. Of course, he still endured a lot of eye-rolling and covered his head, complaining of a headache, for almost an hour while practicing the Lazy Eater Technique, and also set a hunting trap.

"Oh dear, you've got pee, poop, and a headache all over you, Li Laosan, you've got quite a few problems."

"Of course, otherwise why would I want to marry a city girl?"

"They even fought tooth and nail over a steamed bun."

Li Qingqiu was too lazy to care. If he had a headache, he had a headache; if he needed to pee, he pee. If he held it in, whose fault was it? When he got home at noon, he saw that Shi Lanhua's nose and eyes looked completely different.

"What's wrong?" Li Qingqiu asked the younger sister beside him.

"What happened? It's all your fault. Aunt Liu talked about you to Mom all morning, which made her very angry. Before the workday ended at noon, Mom and Aunt Liu had a fight and almost came to blows." Li Qingmei replied irritably. Not to mention her mother, several of her friends had also talked about you. Fortunately, she didn't care. If it weren't for her third brother, she probably would have joined in and made some sarcastic remarks.

"What good things can Sixth Aunt say? Just don't listen to her."

Li Qingqiu knew very well that Sixth Aunt was the gossipmonger of the Lijia'ao Production Brigade. She was a real gossipmonger, and she could spread even the smallest things that happened to Zhang San or Li Si to three or five brigades. Li Qingqiu was extremely annoyed by her.

"Mom, calm down. Don't worry about what she says. Don't let her foul mouth affect you. Getting angry is bad for your health." Li Qingqiu saw that Shi Lanhua had stopped eating and decided to try to comfort her.

"It's all because of you, you unreliable person! You have several brothers and sisters, but none of them combined cause me as much worry as you. Why can't you just behave yourself? I'll talk to your aunt later, and if that doesn't work, I'll find you a famine relief worker by the end of the year. At least things will be alright eventually, and you can have a baby..." Shi Lanhua angrily slapped Li Qingqiu a few times. Li Qingqiu smiled bitterly. How could he be the unreliable one? He was doing all the right things.

"No way, this afternoon, I'm going to tear that lousy mouth of Han Caihua apart..." Shi Lanhua got angrier and angrier, she had to deal with that lousy mouth or she wouldn't be able to stay in a good mood.

This time, Li Qingqiu didn't try to persuade her. It was better to tear Aunt Liu's mouth apart than to tear himself apart. Li Qingqiu obediently ate his cornbread. The steamed egg custard he had enjoyed a couple of days ago was long gone. He was already lucky to have two days of rest after his head was bleeding.

I'm just waiting to check out the hunting traps when I finish work in the afternoon, hoping to catch a rabbit or magical beast to eat.

In the afternoon, Li Qingqiu, still suffering from a persistent headache, slacked off for an hour, completing his "Lazy Eater" practice time and fulfilling the sign-in requirement. This time, he didn't sign in casually but planned to sign in again when he passed by the production team's primary school. Although Lijia'ao Primary School only taught up to the third grade, it was still the only educational institution in the production brigade, and he might be able to sign in something good.

"Hey, where did that kid go?"

"Lazy people have a lot of poop and pee." In the afternoon, in order to avoid Shi Lanhua, Aunt Liu from the new group had no shortage of complaints about Li Qingqiu's laziness and shirking. Without Shi Lanhua, Aunt Liu Han Caihua was completely unleashed. The real Li Qingqiu wanted to tear her apart with that mouth.

"Haha, then this kid probably spends all day in the outhouse."

"Hahaha."

"Then why bother getting married?"

"Marry a wife who loves to squat in the outhouse."

The women made fun of Li Qingqiu, but the women's team leader, Wang Xiuju, didn't say much. In fact, Li Qingqiu had been complaining of headaches and being lazy these past two days, which made Wang Xiuju dislike Shi Lanhua's unreliable third son even more.

"Hahaha."

Before the women had gone far, Li Qingqiu's laughter rang out. "Good, very good!" Li Qingqiu looked at the struggling rabbit monster. Although he was stunned for a moment, the rabbit monster looked too much like a wild rabbit, or even exactly the same.

"There must be something wrong with my eyes."

Li Qingqiu was still somewhat unwilling to accept it. If the cultivation system had a problem, the Rabbit Demon Beast was definitely the Rabbit Demon Beast. He should knock it out first.

[Congratulations, host, on completing the Rabbit Beast Trial quest. You have received 2 reward points.]

"Great!" Li Qingqiu was overjoyed. He was one step closer to the lottery. Besides, there was a rabbit monster weighing over two pounds. Time for an extra meal! Meat! Meat today! Li Qingqiu had experienced firsthand the original owner's craving for meat buns these past few days.

The food was so bland and lacked any oil or fat that it could be described as watery soup. In just four or five days, Li Qingqiu was craving it so badly that he ate agar and nutmeg yesterday, but it didn't help. He also secretly ate the spirit egg.

But it still didn't work. Now it's better. One rabbit monster is enough to have a good meal. Li Qingqiu walked out of the bushes carrying a plump wild rabbit. Big Foot Sister-in-law, Qinghui's wife Wang Yulan, Wang Xiuju, Aunt Liu and others all stared wide-eyed.

"What a huge hare!"

Where did this kid get such a big, fat rabbit? It's unbelievable! How did he manage to get it? Li Qingqiu proudly waved the rabbit-shaped magical beast in his hand. "Wow, I didn't expect that a casually set trap would catch one this big. Perfect for a treat. I've been so tired from work these past few days."

"Sixth Aunt, look, isn't she quite plump?"

Li Qingqiu knew perfectly well that the news of his commune fighting tooth and nail, being jilted at marriage, and shouting that he was going to marry a cultured man from the city was all spread by this famous loudspeaker, so he was bound to get a bit of teasing now.

"What's there to be so smug about? It was just a lucky break."

Aunt Liu was rather disdainful, but her gaze fell on the plump wild rabbit. It was so fat; how did this kid get so lucky?

"Haha, I'll touch it a few more times later."

As he spoke, Li Qingqiu carried the wild rabbit and hurried down the mountain. Passing by several fields, the system refreshed the map. Looking at the names like Spirit Plant Garden and Spirit Fruit Garden, Li Qingqiu was speechless. The Li family of cultivators truly lived up to its name.

"Wow, what a big wild rabbit!"

Li Fuyuan was discussing the spirit of the documents that had been passed down from the commune with several brigade cadres when he suddenly saw Li Qingqiu carrying a large wild rabbit, happily coming down the hillside.

"Where did you come from, third brother?"

Li Qingjing asked with a smile. Li Qingqiu hadn't intended to respond, but then the system refreshed. [The host has completed the trial mission, gaining the attention of the clan leader and elders, becoming a key collateral descendant, and has earned +5 points.]

What a great guy! My points have reached 22 now, and I'm getting closer to the lottery. Li Qingqiu couldn't resist showing off a bit, but unfortunately, the system didn't trigger again. Oh well, I'll just check in as I pass by.

[Sign-in successful. Sign-in location: Kung Fu Hall. Obtained Spiritual Aura Talisman. Points +5]

Sure enough, I got some good stuff from signing in, and I even got 5 extra points! Great, now I have 27 points, more than halfway there.

Li Qingqiu became even more excited, and at the same time, news of his catching of the wild rabbit had already reached his home.

"Third Uncle is back."

"He's carrying a really big wild rabbit."

The children were all jumping and leaping with excitement, and even the older ones were just as happy. It was a wild rabbit! They could eat meat now, and nothing could make them happier.

"Did you really catch a rabbit?"

Li Qingmei could hardly believe it. Her third brother, that unreliable, lazy, and gluttonous third brother, had caught a particularly difficult wild rabbit. It was unbelievable.
