After eating and drinking their fill, they returned ho at 9 P.M.
Bai QianShuang followed behind Ye Chuan, carrying a cup of Duck Shit Fragrance Lemon Tea in one hand and a bag of snacks in the other.
(TL: "Duck Shit" (鴨屎香, Ya Shi Xiang) is a type of Oolong tea, originaly nad by farrs to deter thieves, not because it contains or slls like actual duck excrent. It's known for its unique, pleasant floral aroma.)
The girl had begun to integrate into this society.
At least in terms of food.
The alleyways of the urban village were dark and gloomy, but Bai QianShuang felt an inexplicable sense of security as she followed Ye Chuan.
"Let's go back ho and rest after you shower," Ye Chuan said.
Bai QianShuang nodded.
The word "ho" from Ye Chuan's mouth touched her heart.
Soon, they arrived ho.
After watching the girl go back to her room, Ye Chuan took a shower and returned to his own room.
Despite airing it out all day, the burnt sll still lingered, and he could only open the window for ventilation. There was nothing else he could do for now.
Sitting on his chair, Ye Chuan fiddled with his phone and discovered a new option in the Ten Thousand Realms Landlord app.
[Tenants]
[Cultivation]
[Adventure]
The Tenants tab showed their basic information and available missions, Cultivation was for idle cultivation and microtransactions for spiritual roots and constitutions, and Adventure was a new option.
Seeing the new Adventure option, Ye Chuan was a little surprised. Checking the log, he found that this new feature was a reward for increasing Bai QianShuang's favorability.
It seed that the Ten Thousand Realms Landlord app still had many unlocked features, especially the Points—Ye Chuan still didn't know what they were for.
"Let's try Adventure."
Without hesitation, Ye Chuan tapped on it.
[This app allows for text-based adventures. Obtained items will be sent to your backpack daily.]
[Currently available worlds—]
[1. TianXuan Continent]
[2. Unknown]
[3. Unknown]
Ye Chuan glanced at the options and seed to understand. So he could enter the worlds his tenants ca from?
Since his only tenant was Bai QianShuang, he could only enter the Tianxuan Continent.
Understanding this, and especially after seeing that rewards from the adventure would be sent to his backpack, Ye Chuan clicked "Start" without hesitation—
[Landing Location: TianXuan Continent]
[You appear in a village in the Eastern Hua Divine Continent of the TianXuan Continent. Standing at the village entrance, you hear a commotion and sll the faint scent of blood. Enter?]
Ye Chuan thought for a mont and pressed "Enter."
[Entering the village, you see a Foundation Establishnt stage wolf demon hunting villagers. Seeing you approach, it casually swipes at you with its paw and kills you.]
[You died.]
[Adventure ended. Items retrieved: 0]
Ye Chuan stared blankly at the red "You died" ssage on his phone screen.
Huh?
It was over?
Just like that?
"Well, a Foundation Establishnt demon killing a non-cultivator is pretty normal, right?"
Ye Chuan realized that the protagonist's stats in the text adventure were the sa as his own.
He tried clicking "Adventure" again.
[Daily adventure attempts have reached the limit. Spend 1000 yuan for another attempt?]
Huh?
Ye Chuan understood now. It seed the system wanted all the money back. He had to pay for everything.
"Forget it, I'll wait for the reset tomorrow, I'm broke," Ye Chuan muttered. Then, another window popped up—
[Congratulations! You have received a 90% discount coupon! Spend 100 yuan for another attempt!
Countdown: 23 hours 59 minutes]
Seeing the gift package pop up, Ye Chuan twitched his lips, but he was too curious about what items he could bring back, so he clicked "Purchase."
Buy!
[Purchase successful. Start an adventure?]
"Yes."
[Landing Location: TianXuan Continent]
[You appear in a bustling town in the Northern Hua Divine Continent of the TianXuan Continent. There are many tourists. You choose to…]
[1. Leave town]
[2. Go to the famous Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant]
Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant?
What was that place?
Ye Chuan thought for a few seconds, then chose option 2.
[You enter the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. The place is filled with beautiful won, and the air is thick with sensual energy. Before anyone cos to greet you, you hear a voice from outside—]
["Fellow Daoists, join in my Imperial Banner!"]
[Everything goes black.]
[You died.]
[Adventure ended. Items retrieved: 0]
Ye Chuan: "..."
Seriously?
Ye Chuan felt numb. He understood now. The TianXuan Continent was a place where people died casually.
He wasn't even at the Qi Refining stage, so he had no chance of survival there, let alone finding any treasures.
"No gains, no gains. I can level up through idle cultivation anyway, no rush." Ye Chuan remained calm. Although he felt a pang of regret for the 100 yuan, he quickly recovered.
He will have three thousand yuan tomorrow.
Just as Ye Chuan was about to go to bed, his phone vibrated. He glanced at it; it was a video call from Luo Xi.
He answered, and Luo Xi appeared on the screen.
She was sitting on a chair, seemingly fresh from a shower, one foot propped up on the edge, clipping her toenails. Click, click, click.
The girl was wearing a nightgown and shorts, her legs dazzlingly white. Seeing that the call was connected, she grinned.
"Thanks for the shoes, son~"
"I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow. What do you want?"
Ye Chuan said, "Just let sleep in. If you're feeling generous, co over and cook sothing before you leave."
"Sure." As Luo Xi spoke, she seed to rember sothing.
"Oh right, that Huang Haotian made a post on the school forum, challenging you to a rematch. He said the last ti was a sneak attack and didn't count."
"A rematch?"
That guy was so shaless. He ganged up on him, and now he wanted a rematch?
Ye Chuan found it amusing. But thinking about his recent cultivation and his newly acquired fire spiritual root, a playful glint appeared in his eyes.
"Sure."
Last ti, he just offered the guy's little brother a cigarette.
This ti, it was going to be lit.
The cry of the phoenix.
"ChuanChuan, are you really going to agree?" Luo Xi asked worriedly, seeing that Ye Chuan had actually agreed. "Don't be impulsive, you're not well."
"Don't worry," Ye Chuan said.
Although Luo Xi knew that Ye Chuan wasn't one to suffer losses, she still hoped he wouldn't agree to such a pointless fight, thinking about the possibility of him getting hurt.
"ChuanChuan, there's no benefit to winning."
"Who says there's no benefit?" Ye Chuan stroked his chin.
"Since he wants a rematch so badly, let's raise the stakes."
He wasn't in a hurry; Huang Haotian was.
After all, so many of them couldn't even beat a sickly him.
The Taekwondo club's reputation was probably in tatters.
