Chapter 577 - 350: Leveling Up Again
It was already noon, and those who went to the city to buy things were on their way back home. Unable to do anything else, Xiaomi could only leisurely walk with a few sheep.
But this was not a solution; if she entered the city, it would be even more troublesome.
So Xiaomi’s eyes rolled, and she simply led the sheep up the mountain beside the road.
There were people everywhere outside; going up the mountain should work, right?
Once she was in the mountains, seeing no one around, she quickly put a few goats into the space and then left from the other side.
She had been wondering on the way if the space would upgrade on the road, causing a series of spiritual energy leaks or something.
It turned out it was all in her head.
All the way until she returned to Nanyang Prefecture, went to another place, bought a newly adult mynah, and got home, there was no reaction.
"Glad you’re back. We were waiting for you to come home for dinner. What did you buy? A bird? In the middle of winter, buying a bird might be hard to maintain."
Xiaomi carried the birdcage home. Second Mother looked curiously.
The birdcage was covered with thick cloth to prevent the mynah from freezing, but sounds could still be heard from inside.
"Yes, I bought a little mynah. Mom, I’ll take it to my room first, and then I’ll show it to you all later."
The little mynah couldn’t be put directly into the space because Ling’er said to find a small animal for her to possess so she could leave the space with it anytime.
Moreover, if she wanted to return to the space, Xiaomi could put them into the space, and Ling’er could leave the animal’s body, while the animal would still retain its ability to act.
So Xiaomi just needed to wait for the space upgrade, put the little mynah in the space, let Ling’er possess it, and then take it out.
"Why did you think of buying a bird? Last time when I took you to see them, you didn’t say you wanted one."
Second Mother was puzzled, but Xiaomi cheerfully said, "Today, I just suddenly wanted to buy it. Mom, wait for a bit, I’ll come to eat right away."
When placing the little mynah back into the room, she didn’t forget to feed it some millet and fruit from the space, and added a little spiritual spring water to its small cup.
Ling’er had said she wouldn’t eat using the mynah’s body. During meal times, the mynah would still need to eat itself, so she had to feed it well so Ling’er could leave the space anytime.
While eating, Xiaoxue mentioned that earlier, Miss Yingying had someone send a letter over and placed it under Xiaomi’s pillow, telling her to check it later.
After hastily finishing her meal and returning to her room, Xiaomi saw that Sister Yingying said she would arrive on time, and she began to worry about her birthday again.
Wait, it was the birthdays of both herself and Xiaowei.
After wandering in the city for so long and making another trip today, Xiaomi felt a bit tired and yawned for a nap.
And as she slept, it was already dark when she awoke, woken up by Xiaoxue.
"Second Sister? Why are you here?" She rubbed her eyes and got up, surprised to see the dark room. "What time is it now? How long have I been asleep?"
"You’re asking that? What did you do in the morning? It’s already dark; Mom was so worried she checked on you multiple times."
Saying this, she handed Xiaomi the coat beside her.
While putting on her clothes, Xiaomi felt the state of the space; there was no sign of an upgrade.
But she herself still felt very sleepy, wishing to continue sleeping.
Instinct told her this was likely due to the space, possibly symptoms before an upgrade.
But she couldn’t enter the space now, so she had to force herself to stay awake, have dinner with everyone, and then excuse herself to sleep again, rushing back to her room.
Of course, she didn’t forget to feed the mynah.
Xiaomi fell asleep immediately, but others tossed and turned all night, worried about her unusual condition today; Second Mother even considered getting a doctor.
Thankfully, Xiaoxue and Second Mother went to check again, confirming Xiaomi was just sleeping soundly, even smacking her lips, probably dreaming about delicious food.
Since she was just sleeping, everyone felt a bit reassured, only deciding that if she continued sleeping like this tomorrow, they must see a doctor.
After all, excessive sleepiness is also a disease.
Unexpectedly, that night not just Xiaomi, but also others felt the same.
Before going to bed, everyone felt normal, but once they lay down, they quickly began yawning, with candles being extinguished one after another.
Not just them, but many neighbors around were the same, going to bed earlier than before.
