Intro
It was just an ordinary day in City I. It was morning, and Xiao Xingchen was already awake. Not long ago, he managed to earn some money by feeling around for medicinal herbs and trading them with the apothecary. Now, he stood presumably in front of a bakery stall, peacefully waiting for the vendor to wrap up his purchase.
