The child picked up his coat to show Bai Tang, revealing that the stitching was fine and the craftsmanship exquisite. A few blue flowers were embroidered at the corners, vividly lifelike and very beautiful.
"Your mother's skills are truly impressive!" Bai Tang praised.
"Of course! My mother is the only tailor in Apricot Blossom Village, so her skills are exceptional," the child said proudly, lifting his head.
It turned out that the child's mother was the tailor of Apricot Blossom Village, which explained why so many players had returned empty-handed. As long as their skills did not meet the system's recognized requirements, the quest would be considered a failure. Bai Tang was grateful that during her time in Red Mansion World, she had learned sewing and embroidery from those Embroideresses. Although her skills were considered rough by their standards, they were still far superior to those of the Young People who couldn't even sew clothes. Her skills were just enough to meet the requirements of the quest. Not only did Bai Tang help the Child sew his coat, but she also embroidered a blue flower at the seam that closely resembled those at the corners.
"Ding! The player has completed the 'Crying Child' quest, earning one thousand experience points and two hundred copper coins, and has learned basic sewing skills. As this player is the first to master a life skill, a server-wide announcement will be made. Would you like to hide your name?"
Of course, hide it.

Bai Tang watched the world chat for a while, then turned to find Village Chief to hand in her quest. Only a fool would speak up!
After handing the wine to Village Chief, Bai Tang gained enough experience to level up. Watching Village Chief open the bottle cap and take a sip of wine with a satisfied expression, Bai Tang impulsively said, “Village Chief, drinking wine without food can easily get you drunk and isn't good for your stomach!”
Village Chief lowered the wine bottle and said helplessly, “There's no one at home but me, and I don't know how to cook!”
“I can cook. How about I make you some snacks to go with the wine?” Bai Tang immediately seized the opportunity, and then she happily heard the system announce its command.
“Sure, Kitchen is over there, and you can use any ingredients inside.” Village Chief was pleased. What a good child, welcoming such a player; only this child would think of making snacks for him. Well, he should give a generous reward later.
Bai Tang walked into Kitchen, her gaze sweeping around. The kitchen had a large earthen stove typical of rural areas, something city kids wouldn't know how to use, but it posed no challenge for Bai Tang. Don't forget she had a Culinary Master perk that not only made her cooking delicious but also allowed her to skillfully use various Stoves. Looking again, there were indeed plenty of ingredients, but unfortunately, they were all vegetables—there wasn't a single piece of meat.
Bai Tang stepped out and said, “Village Chief, there’s no meat in the Kitchen. I’ll go outside the village to get some.”
“Go ahead!” Village Chief waved his hand. He stopped drinking and instead took out tea utensils and tea leaves to brew some kung fu tea.
Bai Tang followed the Avenue out of the village. There were more people outside than inside the village; monsters were simply not enough to kill. As soon as a chicken spawned, several people rushed to attack it, and it was hard to tell who actually succeeded in killing it.
Bai Tang twitched her mouth; she didn't think she could compete with those overly enthusiastic players. Forget it; she decided to walk further away. Although the monsters' levels increased as she moved farther from the village, as long as she was careful, she could still defeat them. The environment around the village was quite orderly: there was a forest to the east, a whole Mountain Range to the south, an ocean to the west, and grasslands to the north. Bai Tang headed north towards the grasslands, planning to hunt some cows and sheep. Unfortunately, before encountering any cows or sheep, she came across a wolf. At this stage, Bai Tang definitely couldn't defeat a wolf, so her instinct was to turn and run. This wolf must have been provoked by some player; after killing that player, it saw another player like Bai Tang and vented its anger on her. As she ran, Bai Tang allocated her unspent free attribute points from leveling up into agility just enough to avoid being caught by the wolf.
“Damn! Why is this wolf chasing me? Can't it see the nearby Herds? If it's hungry, it can go catch cows or sheep!” After running from the grasslands to the Mountain Range, with the wolf hot on her heels, Bai Tang gasped in frustration. Ever since gaining her perk, she hadn't felt this flustered in a long time. It felt quite novel!
Just as her fatigue level was about to hit rock bottom, Bai Tang spotted a cave ahead and dove in without thinking twice. The wolf chased her to the cave entrance but didn't follow inside; it circled around at the entrance reluctantly before running off. Sitting in the cave in confusion, Bai Tang wondered what terrifying thing could be inside that made the wolf not enter and instead flee? But looking around in the cave revealed nothing unusual at all.
Bai Tang took out a bottle of red potion to quench her thirst and began tapping on the cave walls and floor, searching for mechanisms. This might be a trigger quest, and not wanting to trouble the player, Bai Tang quickly found the switch for the mechanism in a corner. With a firm press down, the cave wall rose, revealing an opening tall enough for a person to enter.
Bai Tang stood outside the cave for two minutes, checking her inventory: two sets of red potions, one set of blue potions, and a peach wood sword obtained from defeating a monster. Nothing else. So poor! Bai Tang sighed as she replaced her wooden stick with the peach wood sword, instantly doubling her attack power. She stepped forward into the cave, and a system prompt sounded in her ears: "Ding, unknown map discovered."
Filled with excitement for exploration, Bai Tang entered the inner cave. With a loud rumble, the cave wall fell behind her, plunging her into darkness.
"..." Bai Tang regretted not bringing a torch. She stood still for a few minutes until her eyes adjusted to the dark. Cautiously extending her leg, she began to move forward. After just two steps, a sharp cold light mixed with murderous intent shot toward her. Bai Tang hurriedly dodged the arrow but couldn't breathe easy as more arrows flew out from the darkness. She kept evading but was hit in several places; if she hadn't been holding a red potion in her mouth, she would have already been queuing for reincarnation in the Underworld. Finally, after a barrage of arrows ceased, spikes suddenly emerged from the ground. Without having learned lightness skills, Bai Tang could only risk getting pierced in her feet as she dashed forward, managing to escape the trap with only five percent of her health remaining.
Next came various traps; relying on luck and her fully allocated agility points, Bai Tang narrowly passed through these hazards and reached a stone chamber. Inside were level six skeletons; after some time spent defeating them all, she obtained a bronze sword and several hundred copper coins, leveling up to level seven. The stone chamber had three doors; upon opening the first door, she encountered level eight zombies. After cutting them all down, Bai Tang received a potion bottle containing a Peiyuan Pill that increased all attributes by three points when consumed. The second door led to level ten zombies; after eliminating them all, she received an exquisite necklace that boosted attack and stamina by five and two points respectively. The third door was located between the other two doors and could only be opened after clearing out all monsters behind the first two doors. As Bai Tang expected, inside was a boss; she drank all the red potions in her backpack and struggled to defeat it.
Bai Tang picked up the items dropped by the boss: a jade tablet and a letter. The jade tablet was not equipment but rather an item designated for quests according to the system; however, she could open the letter. After reading it, she finally understood the purpose of the jade tablet. It turned out that this cave was the secluded place of Elder Chichengzi from Kunlun Yuan. Chichengzi was originally a disciple of Kunlun's former leader but had betrayed Kunlun due to an affair with his senior sister Yin Sutang. However, as he grew older, Chichengzi often reminisced about his days cultivating at Kunlun and missed his elders and fellow disciples there; he just could never return. With regret, Chichengzi left this world but left behind his last words for any young person fortunate enough to enter his cave: carry this jade tablet—the Kunlun disciple's insignia—and join Kunlun in his stead.
"Ding, player has accepted the quest 'Chichengzi's Request.'"
Bai Tang held the jade tablet tightly; with it in hand, she was one hundred percent certain she could enter Kunlun Sect without becoming an ordinary disciple like other players. With this jade tablet, she would directly become an elite disciple and even have the chance to be taught by the sect leader herself. She tossed the jade tablet into the air and caught it again.
"Actually, I would prefer to join Shushan Sect."
