System Panel!
This is cheating, cheating!
Ren An was so excited that he cried. After waiting for more than 30 years, he finally got the system he had been thinking about.
After calming down a bit, he hurriedly browsed the information on the panel, and finally set his sights on the spouse and offspring column at the bottom.
Combined with the [alchemy experience +1] prompt message that popped up at the beginning, he vaguely guessed the function of his system.
So he touched the pretty face of his charming wife, looked at her affectionately and said:
"Good, let's continue."
"ah?"
Song Huaying thought she had heard it wrong. She thought to herself that she was just a new wife, and her body couldn't bear the torment.
[…]
I don't know how long it took, Song Huaying's peach blossom eyes were red, she pursed her thin lips, looked at Ren An with resentment and said, "Husband, I am tired."
Ren An knew that she was wronged, and quickly comforted her: "It's because I'm not a good husband. I didn't take Yinger's feelings into consideration, which made you physically tired."
"Ying'er take a good rest, I will cook a bowl of chicken soup for you for your health."
After finishing speaking, he quickly dressed and got out of bed, went to the chicken coop in the backyard and caught an old hen, and cooked it himself to make chicken soup for his wife.
Out of guilt, he added a lot of precious herbs to the pot that he would not normally eat.
After that, he found a random place to sit down, and called out the panel with a thought.
[Name: Ren An]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 3]
[Alchemy: First Level Elementary (25/100)]
[Spouse: Song huaying]
[Descendants: None]
"Sure enough."
Ren An looked at the data behind the alchemy column, and confirmed his guess.
Moreover, in less than a day, he gained 6 points of alchemy experience.
Judging from such an increased rate, it may take less than a month to break through and become a first-level intermediate alchemist.
At that time, the alchemy refining rate will increase a lot, thereby reducing the cost of alchemy and earning more spirit stones.
"This day is going to get better."
Ren An was slightly excited, full of hope for the future.
At this time, there was a violent knock on the door outside the house.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Then, a rough male voice sounded again soon.
"Is someone here!"
"Open the door!"
"Come out and pay the rent!"
Familiar knock on the door, familiar loud voice.
Ren An didn't need to look to know that the steward from the bamboo gang must have come to collect the rent again.
He made a small stove for cooking soup, and took a low-grade spirit stone, and quickly left the kitchen to open the door.
"I'm coming!"
"Crack—"
Ren An opened the door of the room, and immediately he saw a tall and thick man.
Seeing him delaying opening the door for so long, Steward Zhang didn't give him any good looks, and said coldly:
"Hurry up and pay me the rent, a low-grade spirit stone!"
"..."
Ren An didn't make a sound, and silently handed over the spirit stone in his hand.
Steward Zhang took over the spirit stone, and his tone changed a lot: "From next month, the rent will increase to two low-grade spirit stones per month, don't say I didn't remind you."
When Ren An heard this, his brows were furrowed.
He felt very puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Steward Zhang, why did you suddenly raise the rent so much?"
Steward Zhang explained: "Because not long ago, the Qing Town, more than ten miles away from the Bamboo Leaf Forest, was destroyed."
"Qing town was destroyed?"
Ren An was shocked and felt terrified at the same time.
I just went to Qing Town yesterday, and picked up a wife from there.
It turned out that such a big place, a place with tens of thousands of people living, only took one afternoon, and it was just destroyed like that.
It's really a world where life is like nothing...
Ren An stabilized his mind, and asked: "Qing Town was doing well, why was it suddenly destroyed?"
Steward Zhang continued to explain: "Just now, a large group of blood demons flew from nowhere. When they passed through Qing Town, they ate all the people inside like locusts crossing the border."
"This group of blood demons originally wanted to attack the bamboo leaf forest, but luckily they were all blocked by the formation outside the forest."
"But now, the formation is seriously damaged and needs to be repaired urgently, so the rent has been raised."
Regarding steward Zhang's explanation, Ren An expressed that he could not accept it.
I hand in a piece of low-grade spirit stone every month, isn't it for the protection service ?
Why is it that we, the consumers, are responsible for the damage to the array caused by the provision of protection services now?
Although he was dissatisfied, Ren An didn't say anything.
Because he knows that in this immortal cultivation world where the strong preys on the weak, it is useless to reason with people, only big fists are the last word.
Otherwise, you can only accept it calmly.
"This world is becoming more and more chaotic now. It is not easy to find a place to live in. I advise you not to move out just because the rent has risen, otherwise it will be difficult to come back after going out."
After throwing down this warning, steward Zhang hummed a little tune and walked to the next door to collect the rent of the next house.
Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Ren An felt a little anxious.
The rent of two low-grade spirit stones a month is already beyond his affordability.
Because now he can only earn more than one low-grade spirit stone a month.
For the current situation, the only solution is to raise your alchemy realm to the first intermediate level as soon as possible.
Thus reducing the cost of consumables and increasing revenue.
And if you want to improve the realm of alchemy in a short period of time, you must ask your wife to help.
"Well, I don't know if Ying'er can bear it."
"It can only be to give her more supplements at ordinary times, and improve her physical fitness as much as possible."
Through the window, Ren An saw the little wife resting on the bed in the room, and felt worried for a while.
At this time, a burst of strong soup aroma came.
The chicken soup in the kitchen is ready.
Ren An went over and brought out the chicken soup, and sent it all the way to the wife.
"Husband, your concubine is proficient in all kinds of instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting. I can earn money for you, and I won't live for nothing."
Song Huaying sat up from the bed, looking at Ren An nervously with her pitiful eyes, trying to show her worth.
She heard the conversation outside the house just now, and now seeing Ren An's sad face, she couldn't help worrying whether she would be thrown away as a burden, and felt very insecure.
Ren An saw her worry, sat on the side and put his arms around her shoulders to comfort her:
"Don't worry, Yinger, you are the first woman for your husband, and your husband will definitely not abandon you."
"Husband..."
Song Huaying was quite moved after hearing this, her peach blossom eyes became watery, looking very pitiful.
Ren An comforted his wife a few more words, then patiently cooled the chicken soup spoonful after spoonful, and fed it gently into her small cherry mouth.
Song Huaying felt flattered. She never thought that Ren An, a majestic immortal teacher, would be willing to put down his body to take care of a mortal like herself.
She looked at Ren An affectionately, thinking that in the future, she must do her best to serve her husband, so that he can live happily every day like a fairy.
Just as she was thinking this in her heart, several reminder messages suddenly popped up in front of Ren An who was sitting on the opposite side.
