Xieren instinctively reacted by pulling in the muddy little guy from the door way and into his arms. After wrapping the little thing in a thin fur and placing him on the sleeping pellet he hurried to burn a fire to heat up bath water.
The whole experience relying on the memory of the original. Once a clay pot was filled with some rain water and put to boil over the make shift dug out did Xieren come to his senses.
His actions where naturally instinctive that only the cute call of a young child distracted him. It was a bit weird like he wasn't in control of his own body. It was strange but he was grateful for the body's memory or he would be rather useless in this day and age.
"Gege...ggeeegggee"
Cheng Min called out sweetly to him looking at him with bright eyes.
" Hmm.."
Xieren replied while pouring water in a bowl before dipping a clean cloth in the warm water.
" I'm coming "
A little muddy paw tightly held something that was offered to him like a treasure. In the small hand was something that looked like a muddy root.
Since it was offered so sincerely Xieren had no choice but to take it in order to avoid hurting the little bun's feelings.
As soon as the root touches his hand Dixie who was quite all this time spoke to him telepathically.
[Master ! It's a good thing! )^o^(
A 50 year old ginseng! It's has health benefits like boosting immune system and energy levels;controlling blood pressure and cholesterol and anti-inflammatory effects.]
Xieren felt touched and a bit distressed in his heart.This little guy went to fetch his this ginseng buried in a his Grandmother's medical box at the edge of the shed .On such a rainy day this little thing was so thoughtful and good to him.Patting the little guys head he thanked him.
" Xiao Ming ,is so good. Gege , will get better soon thanks to you."
It was a quick wash but he managed to clean up the little bun and change him into warm clothes.The little guy was utterly adorable! Like a little baby angel. With large, watery eyes and curly eyelashes.A delicate, chubby face with a fair jade-like face. A small vermillion mole was in between his eyebrows bring together his angelic features.This baby was really very cute! If he didn't know better he would definitely think Cheng Ming was a female doll.
[ Dixie: Well of course!(^∇^)! He's a Ger! Look at his vermilion mole. ]
'What is a Ger?'
Xieren was rather focused as he prepared dinner which was some rice gruel with pieces of ginseng for the little bun and himself .He hoped they could avoid catching a cold or fever.
He started to think how to live in this world. The food he had in the house was pitiful. He could keep them fed for 2 weeks at most if they ate one meal a day.He handed Cheng Ming a cup of water before taking a cup for himself.
[ Dixie: A Ger is basically a man who can give birth.They are usually more feminine with less body hair and a smaller stature than . They are characterized by that red mole on the forehead. This world has three sexes male, female and gers.By the way ,Professor ,you are a Ger as well!ψ(`∇´)ψ]
Dixie was rather mischievous as he shared that rather shocking and sensitive piece of information.
Ptoeey. Coff. Coff
" WHAT!" Xieren shouted after his abrupt spite-take and coughing fit.
++++
While Xiao Ming was fast asleep mentally Xieren was planning. He didn't have any skills in this era that could be of use. He did have Dixie who could analyze plant material. What was edible, had medical uses or other properties .
[ Dixie: Well master we can check the World-Hopping Store on Multidimensional network to see if we can find anything of use. It will cost us some points. Currently ,you have 800 beginner points and 300 compensation points as beginners usually at most get a C Rank world. We got an A Rank world on our first try increasing the difficulty of the mission.]
' Dixie, why didn't you tell me sooner! I was racking my brain for the past hour! Never mind ...how does the World-Hopping Store work?'
[ Dixie: Well,I can open a digital interphase of the store for you and you can pick and choose.How about I just show the goods that you can afford at the moment.]

' Dixie, is this world hopping store downright robbing people?' Xieren sighed and noticed at this time the space bag was his only viable option.Why the hell would he need seduction stimulators!
' What does the space bag do?'
[ Dixie: It can be used for storage! It can store inorganic and organic materials.Although, it cannot keep living things it can preserve the freshness of food! Later on if upgrade it can maybe grow plants.]
Xieren carefully considered his options and right now his only choice was to be a spendthrift and use his points. The seeds and space bag were desperately needed by him right now . He gritted his teeth and paid the store and was left with a pitiful 5 points.

Xieren calmed down and decided to rest. Cheng Min cuddles closer to him to huddle for warmth and he too was sleepy.Xieren decided that the best way to go about these missions was to be optimistic or he would be driven crazy. On the bright side of things he met an adorable baby; he had his first real meal which was plain but tasty and now he has a space bag with seeds that he could grow to survive.
'Let me forget about the fact I'm a Ger. That I have no idea that what the main mission is and that the World Hopping Store is a bloody rip off..."
[ Dixie: Thank the Gods that Master is Finally asleep!(・Д・)]
