Soon she freshened up and dragged her two feets in remorse.
"Run fifty laps around this field within half an hour, without any stop. Your time starts now!" As soon as An Jiaxin arrived, Mo Xuan didn't spare a second to let her rest as he started the countdown.
'So ruthless!' An Jiaxin wanted to curse him, but didn't dare to do so as she started running without any question.
'At least she is aware of the crucial moment she is stuck inside right now.' Mo Xuan was satisfied when he saw An Jiaxin start running without any complaint. Though he knew very well how much curse she would make inside her heart.
Anyway, that's not his problem, alright?
After forty minutes of running with the same speed, An Jiaxin was finally done with fifty laps. But as soon as she came back, Mo Xuan gave her a barrel of insecticide to bear on her shoulder as he sprayed the entire field.
After that, when An Jiaxin finally got permission to eat her breakfast, she felt like she would burst into tears.
But Mo Xuan was calm and expressionless as usual, taking time to finish his food.
After that, he made An Jiaxin run another fifty laps and do light exercises.
The entire day went like this until the sun came down, it was finally evening, time for rest!
An Jiaxin wanted to jump over her straw mat as if she hadn't seen it in ages, but as soon as her back met the ground, she jumped back up in shock.
The pain in her body was literally unbearable, and when she thought of how she would go through her rest of the days with this kind of monster training, An Jiaxin felt like disappearing into thin air.
'That despicable guy! He actually made me train so much on the first day!'
Anyway, since she was exhausted, it didn't take long for her to fall into a deep sleep.
But the next day when she woke up, the pain was already gone.
'How did it happen? Is it because I'm inside a game?'
Although she was confused by the matter, when she thought of today's schedule, the doubt of pain disappeared from her head completely.
She was preparing for the worst, although she had yet to know of the disaster that was going to happen soon, in the near future.

It seemed that her physical stat has indeed improved a lot after the continuous hellish training for ten days straight.
And she also felt satisfied with this, since she had nothing else to do here anyway.
The weather was also fine, a calm, serene atmosphere, just perfect for her training round after round.
Today Mo Xuan wasn't on the watch as he had something else to do, so An Jiaxin has been training all by herself according to the schedule.
An Jiaxin plopped down on the ground without any hesitation as she took out the water jar, gulping down the whole in one go.
Some of the village girls gathered around her shortly after when they saw her taking a break, all of them were NPC's, besides them, she also got introduced with two players as well in these last days.
NPC's can trigger certain hidden routes within the game, that's why communication maintenance was one of the best options to find out.
"Are you finished with training today, big sis? We have to work together and get the harvest home by today." One of the girls spoke out.
"Oh? Why so? Today is a good day, do you need to work hard too?" An Jiaxin didn't grasp the difficulty of this current situation, so she smiled and asked the girl.
But the moment they heard the question, the expression on their face changed as they exchanged glances with each other.
"We know today is a good day, that's why we are working hard, sister. Anyway, we are going back, can you also help us after your work?"
The request was sincere, though An Jiaxin found the gazes on her were quite strange, she smiled and nodded to send them off.
After the NPC's left, now there were only the two player girls left.
"Don't you guys think their behavior was somewhat… strange?" An Jiaxin asked Jia Nan, the brunette who was sitting right beside her.
"That's right. Especially from what I heard from their conversation, it's just right for them to behave that way because you don't know the famous tale within the village." Shi Xue also sat down in front of An Jiaxin, her eyes showing a hint of worry.
"Even so, what they did just now was really rude! How could they stare at Xin Xin like that? It's not like she is some deity who knows everything in this world!" Jia Nan took An Jiaxin's side as she also took this as an offense.
"Explain to me. What's going on here?" An Jiaxin felt like she was missing something, it was like a piece of puzzle that didn't match no matter how she thought.
"Well, if you want to know, then I already know the entire story." Shi Xue sighed as she started to explain the story about this village.
"It goes back to the founding of this village, where every time in this certain day and month, a group of foreign tourists like us visit this village. And they think of it as a curse of god."
"Why?"
Tourist visiting is something good for every country or place, why was it considered as a curse?
