"Tsk, how can this young man sleep all day long at such a young age?" A passing porter put down his load to rest, glanced at Duan An, shook his head and muttered.
The old man selling candied haws on the side also agreed: "Isn't that right? The last time I set up a stall here, he would lie down here to sleep. Today, he is still in the same position. I'm afraid he used the eaves of this ruined temple as his own kang."
The two of them talked about each other, but Duan An didn't react at all. His snoring continued, and he even turned over, leaving his back to them, and muttered something in his sleep: "Don't make any noise... It will delay my dreams of eating elbows..."
The porter and the old man looked at each other, smiled helplessly, packed up their things and left. The sun was still shining brightly, and under the eaves of the ruined temple, only Duan An's even snoring echoed in the air.
At this moment, an emotionless mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Duan An's mind: [It is detected that the host meets the binding conditions, and the merit system is officially activated.
"Well..." Duan An frowned, turned over, and buried his head in the bluestone, as if resisting the sudden sound.
[Newbie task release: Help the old lady at the intersection ahead to cross the street. Task reward: Merit value +5, a gift package for newbies. The mechanical sound sounded again, this time with a hint of urging.
