Chapter 2 Emotional Enhancement
Author: Bamboo City Little Overlord
System panel!
This is a plug-in, a cheat!
Chen An almost cried with excitement. After waiting for more than thirty years, he finally got the system he had been longing for.
After calming down a little, he hurriedly browsed the information on the panel, and finally set his sights on the spouse and offspring columns at the bottom.
Judging from the prompt message [Alchemy Experience +1] that popped up at the beginning, he vaguely guessed the function of his system.
So he touched the pretty face of his little wife, looked at her affectionately and said:
"Good Ying'er, let's continue."
"ah?"
Song Huaying thought she had heard wrongly. She was thinking that she had just become a woman and her body could not withstand the torment. Why didn't her husband show mercy?
【……】
I don't know how much time passed, but Song Huaying's peach blossom eyes were bright red. She pursed her thin lips, looked at Chen An with a look of resentment and said, "Husband, I'm tired."
Chen An knew that he was in the wrong and quickly comforted him: "It's because you are not a good husband and you didn't take into account Ying'er's feelings, which made you suffer."
"Ying'er, have a good rest, and I'll make you a bowl of chicken soup for my husband to replenish your health."
After saying that, he quickly got dressed and got out of bed, went to the chicken coop in the backyard, caught an old hen, and cooked chicken soup for his little wife.
Out of guilt, he added a lot of precious medicinal materials to the pot that he was usually reluctant to eat.
After that, he found a place to sit down and brought up the panel as a thought.
[Name: Chen An]
[Cultivation: third level of Qi refining]
[Alchemy: First Level Elementary (25/100)]
[Spouse: Song Huaying]
[Descendants: None]
"As expected."
Chen An looked at the data behind the alchemy column and confirmed his suspicion.
Moreover, I gained 6 points of alchemy experience in less than a day.
Judging from this rising rate, it probably won't take a month to break through and become a first-level intermediate alchemist.
At that time, the rate of elixir formation can be greatly improved, thereby reducing the cost of elixir refining and earning more spiritual stones.
"These days are going to get better."
Chen An was slightly excited and full of hope for the future.
At this time, there was suddenly a violent knock on the door outside the house.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Then, soon there was another rough man's voice.
"Is anyone here?"
"Open the door!"
"Come out and pay the rent!"
The familiar knock on the door, the familiar loud voice.
Chen An knew without looking that it must be the steward from Zhuyelin who came to collect rent again.
He turned down the fire for making soup, took a low-grade spiritual stone with him, and quickly left the kitchen to open the door.
"I'm coming!"
"Creak——"
Chen An opened the door, and what he saw immediately was a tall and thick man.
Seeing that he took so long to open the door, Manager Zhang didn't give him a good look at all and said coldly:
"For a grown man to work so hard, please pay me the rent quickly and get a low-grade spiritual stone!"
"..."
Chen An remained silent and silently handed over the spiritual stone in his hand.
Manager Zhang took the spirit stone and said in a much better tone: "Starting from next month, the rent will increase to two low-grade spirit stones per month. Don't say I didn't warn you."
When Chen An heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.
He was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Manager Zhang, why did the rent suddenly increase so much?"
Manager Zhang explained: "Because not long ago, the Qingshi Town more than ten miles away from the Bamboo Leaf Forest was destroyed."
"Destroy the city?"
Chen An was shocked and felt horrified at the same time.
I just went to Qingshi Town in the morning and picked up a wife from there.
As a result, such a big place, a place where tens of thousands of people live, just for one afternoon, just say no, it's like a joke.
What a world where life is like a straw...
Chen An stabilized his mind and asked: "Then Qingshi Town was fine, why was it suddenly destroyed?"
Manager Zhang continued to explain: "A large group of blood demons just flew in from nowhere. When passing through Qingshi Town, they ate all the people inside like locusts crossing the border."
"This group of blood demons originally wanted to attack with the bamboo forest, but fortunately they were blocked by the formation outside the forest."
"But now, the formation is seriously damaged and needs urgent repairs, so the rent has been increased."
Regarding Manager Zhang's explanation, Chen An said he could not accept it.
I hand over a low-grade spiritual stone every month. Isn’t this the protection service shown in the figure?
Why is it that now we, the consumers, have to bear the responsibility for damage to the array due to the protection services provided?
Although he was very dissatisfied, Chen An didn't say anything.
Because he knows that in this world of immortality where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the weak, it is useless to reason with others. Only big fists are the last word.
Otherwise, you can only accept it calmly.
"The world is getting more and more chaotic now. It's not easy to find a place to live now. I advise you not to move out just because the rent has increased. Otherwise, it will be difficult to come back after you leave."
After discarding this warning, Manager Zhang hummed a tune and walked next door to collect the rent from the next house.
Watching the other person's leaving figure, Chen An felt a little anxious.
The rent of two low-grade spiritual stones per month was already beyond his affordability.
Because now, he can only earn more than one low-grade spiritual stone a month.
For the current situation, the only solution is to upgrade one's alchemy realm to the first-level intermediate level as soon as possible.
This reduces consumable costs and increases revenue.
If you want to improve your alchemy realm in a short period of time, you need the help of your little wife.
"Sigh, I don't know if Ying'er can bear it."
"I can only give her more supplements and improve her physical fitness as much as possible."
Through the window, Chen An saw his little wife resting on the bed in the room, and felt worried for a while.
At this time, a strong aroma of soup wafted over.
The chicken soup is ready in the kitchen.
Chen An went over and brought out the chicken soup and brought it all the way to the little wife.
"Husband, I am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I can make money for you, and you won't live and eat in vain."
Song Huaying sat up from the bed, looking at Chen An nervously with pitiful eyes, trying to show her value.
She heard the conversation outside the house just now, and now seeing Chen An's sad face, she couldn't help but worry about whether she would be treated as a burden and feel very insecure.
Chen An saw her worry, sat aside and put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her:
"Don't worry, Ying'er, you are my husband's first woman, and I will definitely not abandon you."
"Husband..."
Song Huaying was quite moved after hearing this, and her peach blossom eyes became watery, looking very pitiful.
Chen An comforted his little wife a few more words, then patiently cooled the chicken soup spoonful after spoonful, and gently fed it into her little cherry mouth.
Song Huaying felt flattered. She didn't expect that Chen An, a powerful immortal master, would be willing to put down his body to take care of a mortal like himself.
She looked at Chen An lovingly, thinking that from now on she would do her best to serve her cheap husband and make him live as happily as a god every day.
Just as she was thinking this in her mind, several reminder messages suddenly popped up in front of Chen An's eyes opposite her.
