"I don't want to to die, what should I do?" I asked, looking around.
"JUST DON'T GO TO THE BROTHEL AGAIN, LOOKS LIKE THE REASON YOU WERE KILLED WAS BECAUSE YOU WENT TO THAT BROTHEL."
"Oh, I just have to turn back." I said, smiling.
"Oh, Lin Xin, you are here already." A man with blonde hair said, smiling some villains in anime.
"Oh, oh..."
"YANG QIN, BEST FRIEND TO THE FORMER OWNER OF THIS BODY, HE WAS THE ONE WHO MADE LIN XIN TO VISIT THE BROTHEL THAT DAY."
*Oh... he doesn't seem like a simple person.*
*I don't have time to waste on people who like trickery. I have to cultivate and enter the what-is-it stage of that.* I thought.
"O-oh... Yang Qin... it's been long, haha." I said.
"Long? We just met this morning." He said.
*Crap.*
"Haha, that's because it felt like days since we last saw each other."
"NOW THAT'S JUST CRINGE."
"Shut the fuck up I know." I whispered.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"No, no, I was whispering to myself."
"Okay, let's head to the brothel. I heard some new vi****s came in just yesterday. We'll be having fun today." He said, whispering into my ear as my face turned red.
"I'll be going back first, have your fun, and I'll join you later." He said before jumping into the air.
"Wh-wh-what was that?!" I asked, hiding behind a wall.
"HEY, YOU LOOK STUPID MAN"
"Tch..."
I was directed to the Yu family's house by the system since that was where I've been living.
From what the system said, the Lin family didn't want Lin Xin to stay I'm their home and asked the Yu family to let him stay with them, since he was to marry their first daughter, Yu Luoluo.
The room I was given was really spacious and looked really beautiful.
"Oh yeah!! This doesn't look bad." I said, sitting on the wooden bed.
"NO!! It's not time to laze around. I have to start cultivating." I said, slapping my face.
*Hehe, that sounds so cool.* I said, grinning foolishly.
"Hmm... I decided to cultivate, but I don't even know how to begin."
"Hey, system." I called.
"YOU'LL HAVE TO BUY SOME ELIXIRS TO FORCE YOU TO BREAK THROUGH FROM THE THIRD STAGE. YOU CAN'T BREAK THROUGH WITH NORMAL CULTIVATION BECAUSE OF THE INTAKE OF SOME POISONS."
"POISON?!!!"
"SHUT UP!!!!"
"I'm sorry. So... how do I purchase these elixirs?"
"YOU CAN SCROLL THROUGH THE SCREEN AND CHECK THE MARKET CENTRE. YOU CAN GET ELIXIRS OF DIFFERENT TYPES AND GRADE LEVELS. YOU CAN ALSO GET OTHER TOOLS USED FOR CULTIVATING."
"Oh, wow."
"Look!! This looks nice." I said, looking at an elixir that shone brightly.
"YOU BETTER LOOK AT YOUR POINTS BEFORE YOU BEGIN CHECKING OUT THOSE ELIXIRS."
"One... 100, 000!!!! What are you? A thief?!" I asked.
"HA... YOU CAN GAIN POINTS BY DOING MISSIONS..."
"My mission is to enter the what-is-it stage and I need the elixirs."
"AT LEAST LISTEN TO WHAT I..."
"Argh!! I was only looking at the price of the elixir. My balance it just 100 points!!" I shouted, my hand on my head.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!!!"
"Oh, sorry sir." I apologized.
"THAT WAS YOUR MAIN TASK, YOU'LL HAVE DAILY TASKS AND RANDOM TASKS EVERY NOW AND THEN"
"Oh... I get it."
"Hmm... to find a cheap one..." I said, groaning while looking at the prices.
After a while, I grabbed five, which were 20 points each.
*Must be stupid since they are twenty points.* I thought, throwing one of them in my mouth.
"ARGH!!!" I screamed in excuriating pain.
I rolled on the floor hoping the pain would die down.
"WHAT A KID? DON'T YOU READ INSTRUCTIONS. THAT IS MEANT FOR A QI ACCUMULATION STAGE."
"Argh!! Help me." I said as I began coughing up blood.
"THE PAIN WOULD SURELY DIE DOWN, JUST HOLD ON FOR A BIT."
*Bastard.* I thought, holding my throat.
*I'll just take all of them once, so I'll feel all of them.* I thought, throwing the remaining 4 into my mouth.
"NOTICE: HOST HAS ACTIVATED THE LEVEL BOARD, HE CAN NOW UPGRADE AND GET EXTRA REWARDS."
"ARGH!!! 😱😱😱 ARE YOU INSANE?! WHY DID YOU TAKE THEM ALL AT ONCE?!!!!!!"
"NOTICE: DEATH!!"
🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦
"Cough cough..."
"You're finally awake." I heard a female say.
"Who are you?! And how'd you get in?!!!" I asked, moving almost immediately.
"Don't tell me... I died and I'm now seeing an angel." I said.
"Lin Xin... I brought you some food and I saw you lying on the floor with foam coming out of your mouth. Please make sure you eat." She said before walking out.
"YOU BASTARD!!! I WISH I COULD COME OUT AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH!!!"
"Aw, come on."
"WELL, I HAD NO IDEA THAT IT COULD WORK THAT WAY, ALTHOUGH YOU HAVEN'T BROKEN THROUGH THE THING HOLDING YOU BACK, YOU'VE INCREASED YOUR LEVEL FOR THE SYSTEM."
"Level for the system?"
"YES, JUST LIKE THE CULTIVATION STAGES, YOU HAVE LEVELS IN THE SYSTEM. YOU ENTER NEW LEVELS BY DOING MISSIONS. IT ONLY INCREASES YOUR PHYSICAL ABILITIES THOUGH"
*Isn't that the whole point of cultivating?* I thought.
"Oh... so what level am I in now?"
"LEVEL 50."
"Huh?!"
"I'm soooooo overpowered." I said excitedly.
"NO YOU'RE NOT, THAT'S AMONG THE LOWEST OF LOW."
"Damn... you didn't even chill out a bit." I said.
"By the way, who was the beauty who left few minutes ago?"
"THAT'S HAN JIE, YOUR FIANCÉ'S PERSONAL MAID. AGE: 19"
"Wow!!! This guy got beauty's around him. Why does he still go to a brothel?"
"THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN BE TOLD EASILY, YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT YOURSELF."
"Bleh... whatever." I said, immediately sitting on the floor.
"I need a mission, I want to level up more." I said.
"GREAT TIMING, THERE'S A MISSION NOW. TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS. I TELL YOU, THIS ISN'T AN EASY ONE. OH, BUT IT'S RANKED D. GOOD LUCK!!"
"NEXT: SKILL ACQUISITION."
