Surviving on the highway, I have a best friend who was reborn.

Chapter 42 The Town of Kerriel

Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy. Last night, Yuanqiao was practicing military boxing and training methods from his university days in a simulated scenario. He practiced them haphazardly and realized that his fighting skills were not what they used to be.

The enhancement of her physique made her much stronger and more agile than ordinary people. If she didn't use special weapons, ordinary swords and knives would only cause Yuan Qiao minor cuts and injuries.

Regardless of what the dungeon was like, it gave her some confidence.

While eating breakfast, she used her innate skill, and a super bright lucky halo appeared after the skill was used! Yuan Qiao was surprised, as there were no warnings or rules for the appearance of the unlucky halo, but the brightness of the halo today made her happy.

After breakfast, we'll head into the dungeon. I'll save the aura; it'll be very useful in a crucial moment.

I opened the shop, and with the gold coins I got from the God of Wealth's Blessing skill this morning, I still have over 300. I'll buy some items to prepare in advance.

Slightly nervous, I held my baby and pressed the [Enter Dungeon] button.

After the teleportation was complete, Yuanqiao pinched the rabbit's bottom, and Tuanzai came in as well. Yuanqiao was delighted.

The game system was working normally, the backpack wasn't blocked, and the space button was also working. Yuanqiao felt much more relaxed and started looking around at the surrounding environment.

She appears to be in a coffee shop.

"Welcome to the most magical coffee shop in the town of Carell."

The coffee shop manager, wearing a lace apron and smiling, greeted Yuanqiao.

Stepping into the shop, the decor is very dreamy and cute, with pink, blue and white tones, and many unfamiliar flowers and plants as decorations.

"Hello, store manager, I am Yuanqiao."

I received a system task as soon as I stepped into the coffee shop.

[Task 1: Help Manager Amy solve her problem]

"Hello, Ms. Yuanqiao, you're here to help me solve my problem? That's great! The activities this morning haven't started yet, could you please take my child to the children's competition in Kerry Town?"

Store manager Amy happily made Yuanqiao a cup of coffee, which was served in a light blue cup-shaped flower.

Yuanqiao accepted the coffee and thanked him, then asked for more information about the children's competition held in this small town.

Every year around this time, the town of Carell hosts a baby children's competition, which is a great activity for fostering bonding and parent-child interaction.

However, Amy, the store manager, had other things to do and didn't want to disappoint the little one, so she had to ask someone else to take her child to participate.

Following Manager Amy to the backyard of the coffee shop, we found a giant house made of blue flowers, which looked to be the same type as the coffee cups.

Yuanqiao looked at the house with curiosity, it looked like real flower petals!
As Tuanzai entered the flower house, it struggled to get down, its mind filled with the thought that it wanted to eat the flower petals on the house's walls.

Yuanqiao held Tuanzai down tightly and quickly comforted him, saying, "This is someone else's house, you can't eat it. If you want to eat it, we'll buy it after we finish our mission."

After finally calming down the restless little one, Amy, the shop manager, came over to greet Yuanqiao, leading a chubby little beast with brown horns and pink fur.

"Hello, Sister Yuanqiao." Her voice was sweet and childlike. Her mother had told her that Sister Yuanqiao would be accompanying her to the children's competition today.

So cute! So adorable! She looks like Mengqi, a character from a mobile game I played before I entered the survival game!
Yuanqiao's affection was palpable, making Pipi a little shy, and she hugged Amy's mother's leg.

The baby cat didn't fuss about wanting to eat the flower house; instead, it nestled in its owner's arms, wanting to be snuggled up to.

Since killing that male monster rabbit yesterday, Tuanzai has become very attached to Yuanqiao, and the interaction between the two has increased.

After meeting Pipi, the system issued another task.

[Task 2: Make Pipi happy] Making children happy is easy. Today's children's competition, try your best to help Pipi win a prize!

Yuanqiao wondered why Task 1 wasn't showing as completed, as he rode in the magical flower vehicle with Pipi to the competition venue.

Arriving at the central square of Kerriel Town, the scene was decorated in a very childlike way, but there weren't many people walking around, only a few cubs chasing each other, which was quite different from the lively scene Yuanqiao had imagined.

Shop manager Amy described the past children's competitions as very lively, with families from all over town participating. Yuanqiao looked left and right and found the registration desk.

"Many of my friends didn't come today," Pipi said in her childish voice.

"Has something happened in the town?"

If the event, which was a lively affair in previous years, saw very few families participating this year, it suggests that other families, like Amy, were too busy to bring their children.

Has something big happened in the town that keeps the parents from taking time off?

Turning her head, she saw Pipi running towards another child to greet them, waving her little hand to Yuanqiao and introducing the chubby, yellow-furred cub of the same breed as her classmate, Xina.

The parent holding little Hina's hand and Yuanqiao exchanged a glance; both of them were players who had come to complete a quest.

The two little ones proudly declared to each other that they would be the first to receive today's competition prize.

After leaving the registration area, I went to the preparation area and sat down. The match started at 2 p.m.

Manager Amy had instructed that at noon, she would take Pipi to a restaurant called Feifei in the square for lunch.

Pipi and her friends went to play, while Yuanqiao sat and observed the parents who had come from the central square.

The town seems to be inhabited by the same race; their fur colors differ, but they all have horns. The adults are humanoid with horns, and the number of cubs in the square is increasing.

There are a few players like Yuanqiao, whose characteristics are very obvious. Yuanqiao even saw players wearing protective suits that he sold himself.

The Class A protective suits made from her blueprints can be customized in color and are very similar to sports bodysuits. They have a high degree of sealing, and the bodysuits are neither too tight nor too loose. They still look quite stylish when paired with a pair of Martin boots.

When Pipi got hungry from playing and went to find Yuanqiao for lunch, Yuanqiao had already explored the central square thoroughly.

We took Pipi to the restaurant that Manager Amy had mentioned. As soon as Pipi entered, she called out in her clear voice:

"Aunt Feifei, Sister Yuanqiao brought me to lunch today, and I want to eat blue jasmine cookies."

A sweet and lovely girl with white horns walked over to the restaurant and led Pipi to a seat.

Pipi's aunt is so young, she looks like a minor, yet she runs a restaurant. Yuanqiao greets her politely.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Yuanqiao. There was an accident outside the town today, so no adults are at home to accompany Pipi to the children's competition."

"There's a clue!" Yuanqiao picked up the thread.

"Could you tell me what's going on? I've seen very few parents with their children at the event registration desk."

"Today, many polluted monsters have suddenly gathered outside the town. Every household needs to send an adult citizen of the town to resist the monster invasion."

Feifei said with a worried look on her face, "It's everyone's responsibility to protect our home. I've also joined the Logistics and Security Department. So please take Pipi to the children's competition. The prize for the competition is a very good growth potion for our clan's cubs."

Thank you to my dear readers Yinyin, Huanxi, and those with IDs ending in 6634 and 0013 for the monthly tickets. Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
