Chapter 4 - Nosy Dragon

 Since my aunt didn't have a car, she came by bus, and Lijia Village was still a few miles away from the nearest stop on the urban-rural bus route, Li Xiang rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to send my aunt.

  My aunt naturally didn't mind, and jumped on the car and asked Li Xiang to take her for a ride.

  Along the way, the two chatted a lot, and my aunt was quite pleased when she mentioned her son.

  "Xiao Xiang, although your cousin is useless and didn't even get into high school, he is very honest and filial."

  Li Xiang: "..." I thought to myself, my aunt, do you have any misunderstandings about "honesty and honesty".

  My aunt seemed to have heard Li Xiang's complaints, and quickly added: "Of course, he also has many shortcomings. He is only 16 years old now, and he has been messing around everywhere, and he has brought back several girlfriends."

  Li Xiang: "..." I felt like I was hit by 10,000 points of critical strike. Oh my god, he is so young, and he has experienced several girlfriends. Poor him, he has lived two lives and is still a virgin.

  "How about it, how many girlfriends did you have in college?" my aunt asked.

  It's really a pot that is not open.

  Li Xiang said sullenly, "I haven't dated before."

  "What about after I started working?"

  "Nothing either!" Li Xiang felt like a failure.

  His aunt couldn't help but comfort him, "You don't have to be so honest. It doesn't mean you have to get married if you date. Just date for fun first. Alas, you're back in the countryside now, so there will be even fewer opportunities. Otherwise, I'll ask your cousin to keep an eye out for you and see if there are any suitable girls to introduce to you."

  "Thank you, haha." Li Xiang naturally couldn't take it to heart. What good girls could his cousin's circle introduce to him? Moreover, he is so poor now and has accomplished nothing. Even if there are good girls, they will definitely not look down on him.

  But he had to admit that he was not as good as his cousin in this regard. His cousin was also poor and had a low level of education, but he was never short of girls around him. Perhaps his cousin inherited his yellow-haired father's talent for picking up girls.

  They flirted with each other and soon found each other.

  "Xiao Xiang, you should go back soon. It's getting dark. I can wait here by myself."

  "It's okay. I'll take you to the bus and then go back." Li Xiang thought to herself, how can I feel at ease with you, a woman, waiting for the bus alone on the road. Although, the security in the countryside is actually quite good.

  The aunt shrugged, thinking that Xiao Xiang was still a warm man. She used to be very familiar with Li Xiang, but they had less contact since Li Xiang went to college. In his freshman

  and sophomore years, Li Xiang would come back during the winter and summer vacations. In his junior and senior years, he only came back during the Chinese New Year. After he started working, he rarely came back during the Chinese New Year .

  Li Xiang did not spend the Chinese New Year at home for two years of work. It was not that he did not want to go back, but it was difficult to buy train tickets. He could not afford to take a plane.

  He owed his grandmother too much in his previous life. In this life, Li Xiang would serve her well.

  After watching his aunt get on the bus, Li Xiang drove the tricycle home.

  After chatting with grandma for a while, night fell. Grandma was old and looked sleepy, so Li Xiang went to boil water and prepare bath water for grandma. Li Xiang went to the front yard to sit on a chair, drink tea, eat moon cakes, and admire the moon.

  The Mid-Autumn moon is round and big, like a dazzling silver plate hanging in the sky, illuminating the yard as if it were daytime.     Li Xiang suddenly felt relaxed, and the invisible shackles on his body disappeared.

  The difficulties of the end of the world in the previous life and the hard work in the workplace in this life all disappeared at this moment.

  He enjoyed this peaceful time.

  In the previous life, there was a period of unemployment. Without a job, he felt that the sky had fallen. Later, he failed the civil service exam that he had prepared for for a long time, and felt that the sky had fallen. When the end of the world came, he felt that the sky had fallen...

  But now it seems that none of them are worth mentioning. On the contrary, the rare and beautiful time like tonight is the most precious. When the "darkness" falls, it will be difficult to find such a pure land again.

  Li Xiang stood up, stretched his body under the moonlight, did some special rhythmic movements, and exhaled and inhaled at a specific frequency, over and over again, very seriously.

  In his previous life, he had obtained a breathing method, several sets of physical skills and fighting skills, and practiced them to become a superhuman. Now he is reborn and has become an "ordinary person" again, so he naturally has to pick them up.

  He actually started practicing the day he was reborn, at least half an hour a day, but he no longer had the strange feelings he had in his previous life, such as a warm current in his body and a noticeable increase in strength.

  Li Xiang guessed that it might be because the end of the world has not yet arrived, and the world has not yet produced extraordinary particles, so even the most advanced breathing and physical skills are useless.

  However, Li Xiang did not give up. He planned to persevere and practice day after day, and practice makes perfect, because he knew that once the "darkness" came, the world would become different.

  The current practice is the foundation, turning the breathing and physical skills into muscle memory again.

  There is a set of Black Dragon Eighteen Styles in the physical skills, which is extremely powerful even without extraordinary energy.

  In his previous life, in addition to fighting skills, his gun skills were actually quite powerful. He had played with pistols, rifles, submachine guns, grenades, and RPGs. Of course, in the era of gun bans, it is naturally impossible, and he can only play games occasionally to satisfy his desire.

  ...

  When Li Xiang got up the next morning, he saw his grandmother caught a chicken and carried a knife to kill the chicken.

  Li Xiang said quickly, "Grandma, let me do it!"

  How could he let his elderly grandmother do this kind of thing herself?

  "How can you kill a chicken? Let me do it." Grandma said. Because Li Xiang used to avoid seeing chickens being killed at home because he thought it was too bloody. Later, when he went to a big city to study and work, he was no longer able to do such rough work.

  "Grandma, watch me!" Li Xiang snatched the chicken and the kitchen knife and started working quickly.

  In his previous life, after the end of the world, Li Xiang had a hard time surviving and had done all kinds of dirty and tiring work. Killing a chicken? Basic exercises!

  Cutting the throat, bleeding... The operation was skillful, but suddenly, Li Xiang's hand shook.

  Then, Li Xiang's face became a little ugly.

  Grandma said quickly, "Let me do it." She thought that Li Xiang was not psychologically adapted to killing a chicken for the first time.

  In fact, it was not the case at all. Instead, in his mind, the system suddenly popped up a prompt: "Kill the first-level alien beast Chicken Dragon, achieve the first blood achievement, and reward 10 achievement points."
