"You little brats, who told you that you could start your own betting pool?" Chi Hu said to the children, his forehead covered in black lines. "And at such a young age, instead of learning properly, you already know how to gamble. You're really asking for a beating."

"Didn't we learn it from you, Uncle Chi Hu?"

"Exactly, exactly."

Some of the older children chimed in.

Chi Hu's face twitched, leaving him unable to argue back.

"Big Brother Wang Ping, can you teach us that thing—Lift Light as Heavy and Lift Heavy as Light?"

At this moment, Chi Tongtong and the other children crowded around him, blinking their bright, lively eyes as they stared at him expectantly.

"Of course." Wang Ping smiled and rubbed the heads of Chi Tongtong and the others in front of him.

"Yay!" The children jumped about happily.

"Uncle Chi Hu, you won't need to teach us anymore. We want Big Brother Wang Ping to teach us," one of the older children shouted at Chi Hu.

"You little punk, your wings have grown hard now, have they?" Chi Hu scolded with a laugh, then kicked him straight in the backside, sending him flying with a cry of pain and drawing uproarious laughter from the other children.

Watching the chattering, laughing children, Wang Ping could not help but laugh as well. The negative emotions in his heart completely vanished, leaving him feeling light all over, as though his state of mind had been elevated.

This kind of atmosphere was truly wonderful.

Next, Wang Ping began teaching the children how to cultivate, while Chi Hu slipped away early to join the Hunting Team on their usual hunt.

The day quickly passed. As the sun set at dusk, the children who had finished cultivating laughed and played, running all over the village or teasing the village geese.

Meanwhile, Wang Ping returned to the courtyard.

"Woof!"

The moment he came back, A'Huang, the little native dog, wagged his tail happily and ran over, circling Wang Ping as he darted back and forth, occasionally pawing at his trouser leg.

Wang Ping smiled, crouched down, and patted his head.

Having his head patted made A'Huang even happier. He licked Wang Ping's hand, making it tickle.

"Alright, go keep playing. I still have something to do," Wang Ping said to A'Huang.

"Woof!" A'Huang barked, seemingly understanding Wang Ping's words. He happily ran off to play with the geese in the courtyard.

As for Wang Ping, he carried a wooden chair from inside the house to the doorway. After stretching lazily, he sat down and watched the afterglow of the setting sun, enjoying this brief moment of peace.

He no longer had any Spirit Stones left for simulations.

Moreover, the number of Spirit Stones required for his next simulation was not something the Village Chief could obtain for him. That would expose Chi Village to certain risks.

For that reason, he planned to leave Chi Village tomorrow and head to Great Xia to earn enough Spirit Stones for a new simulation, while also wiping out the Li Family along the way.

Of course, before that, there were still some things he needed to do.

As his thoughts stirred, Wang Ping opened the chat group interface. He wanted to see whether there were any new messages in the group and ask Cai Yonglong a few questions.

Very quickly, he discovered that the group was unusually lively, with quite a few people speaking up.

The one who had started the discussion was Zhang Hu.

The moment Zhang Hu appeared, he revealed that Group Missions had somehow been unlocked, and that he had suddenly received a Group Mission yesterday.

Those words immediately blew up the group, and many of the lurkers surfaced one after another.

Wu Jun (20): "Damn, when did Group Missions activate? Didn't it require ten people?"

Liu Mei (15): "Thinking about it carefully, it seems quite normal. The last time those three newcomers joined, there were already ten people. Although two of the newcomers died soon afterward, the number of living people in the Transmigrator Chat Group did briefly reach ten, so it unlocked Group Missions."

Fang Yun (3): "What Liu Mei said makes a lot of sense. That's what I thought too."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Group Missions were actually unlocked? Interesting. Looks like there's another path to becoming stronger. I'm looking forward to it."

Wu Jun (20): "Wuwuwu, Cai Ge, you may be looking forward to it, but I'm panicking. I'm just a weak little brick-hauler. If the Group Missions are dangerous, won't I just get a direct GG?"

Fang Yun (3): "Your world has a modern setting. What danger could there be? It can't possibly make you sell yourself, right? Tom evil grin.jpg."

Wu Jun (20): "."

Zhang Hu (5): "As for Group Missions, all I can say is that the first one isn't difficult. However, the missions should be issued based on your current circumstances. Also, after looking into it, it seems that Group Missions are divided into individual missions and collective missions."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Huzi, you mean that individual missions are given to you alone and need to be completed by yourself. Collective missions are the real Group Missions, the ones we need to complete together, right?"

Zhang Hu (5): "Although there haven't been any collective missions yet, that's what I personally think. Before transmigrating, I also read novels about chat groups. Perhaps when Group Missions appear, that's when we'll transmigrate into other people's worlds."

Wu Jun (20): "!!!"

Cai Yonglong (1): "That is indeed very possible. Excellent, I'm already looking forward to it. What kind of sparks will collide between different worlds!"

Liu Mei (15): "As an ordinary person, I'm not looking forward to it at all. Right now, I just want to know what Zhang Hu's first mission is."

Zhang Hu (5): "Nothing much. It's just a simple hunting mission, asking me to hunt a magic beast. Hunting this magic beast is a little troublesome for me right now, but I can still deal with it easily. Besides, the chat group didn't say that I can't find helpers or anything. Of course, I don't know whether it's only this easy because it's a beginner mission."

Fang Yun (3): "I see. That's still acceptable, then. One more question: are there rewards?"

Zhang Hu (5): "My reward is Group Points. They seem to be related to the System Shop, which hasn't opened yet, so they're useless for now. ┓(`)┏"

Wu Jun (20): "System Shop. Doesn't that require fifteen group members to unlock? Good heavens, did the chat group mess up the unlocking order? Shouldn't it unlock the group shop first, then unlock Group Missions?"

Cai Yonglong (1): "Chat group: 'Hm? Are you teaching me how to do things?' Sharp gaze.jpg."

Wu Jun (20): "Wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Anything can happen in this Transmigrator Chat Group, so just get used to it. We can only adapt. In the end, we still don't even know why the chat group made us transmigrate or why it made us randomly draw Golden Fingers. No matter what happens in the future, it will be normal. We can only hope that none of us dies."

Wu Jun (20): "Cai Ge, now that you put it that way, I'm getting even more scared!"

Liu Mei (15): "Panicking is useless. We can only adapt. If we die, all we can do is lament our misfortune. And that day will come sooner or later."
