"Hey, where have you been hiding all week, Mr. MIA? And seriously, do you have a radar for the most inconvenient ti to co ho?" Riya quipped, her annoyance evident as Kevin rudely interrupted her much-needed beauty sleep. Her hair resembled a bird's nest, and she squinted at Kevin with a mix of irritation and curiosity.
Ignoring her irritation, Kevin entered the house and proceeded to take off his shoes while asking, "Is mom asleep?"
"Yeah, she practically went on a missing persons hunt for you! A single text saying you're crashing at a friend's place for a week, and then radio silence! Smooth move," Riya retorted, giving him a side-eye filled with concern.
"Whoopsie! I sorta smashed my phone while playing superhero for my buddy. But guess what? I got an upgrade!" Kevin proudly displayed his new smartwatch, a gift from the illustrious cultivation association.
Riya's eyes widened with surprise, but she couldn't help but add a touch of envy, "A smartwatch? Oh, you lucky duck!"
Kevin's smirk grew wider as he saw the jealousy creeping in. "Yep, and hey, no need to look green with envy. I snagged one for you too," he said, producing a small box from his bag, igniting Riya's excitent like a firecracker.
With the agility of a squirrel, she snatched the box and exclaid, "You're the best!" before ripping it open with the eagerness of a child on Christmas morning.
She eagerly opened the box, revealing a sleek black-colored smartwatch. With lightning-fast hands, she slipped it onto her wrist and touched the screen. In an instant, a hologram of the company logo appeared on top, causing her eyes to widen in astonishnt. "You got the holography one!" she exclaid with glee.
Seeing his sister so happy, Kevin couldn't help but smile. She playfully grabbed his cheeks and said, "My little brother is so cute he—" Before she could finish her sentence, her face twisted in disgust, and she pinched her nose, stepping back from Kevin. "Did your friend make you clean a sewage system or sothing? You reek so much!" she asked with a wrinkled nose.
Kevin's smile disappeared as he caught a whiff of himself, realizing he did indeed have an unpleasant odor. The urge to vomit surged up, but he managed to hold it back. Riya, looking unimpressed, walked towards the stairs, indicating the way to their sleeping quarters. "Go wash up, and if you want so food, there's pizza in the fridge. Heat it before eating," she instructed.
As she gracefully ascended the stairs, Kevin couldn't help but notice her hips swaying with each step. She was clad in shorts that were incredibly short, almost resembling panties on her ample buttocks.
As the vulgar thought crossed his mind, he imdiately shook his head and scolded himself, "She's your sister, Kevin. Get your mind out of the gutter." Determined to rid himself of those inappropriate notions, he walked toward the bathroom to cleanse away the dirty stench.
Yet, despite his best efforts, he couldn't help but steal another glance at her muscular thighs. "Her girlfriend is quite lucky to have her head between those thighs," he muttered with a hint of jealousy, quickly shifting his focus to washing his body.
As he turned on the shower, the cold water cascaded down his skin, making his whole body vibrate with sensation. "Oh, f-f-fuck, it's so cold!" he exclaid, stepping away from the chilly stream. Determined to tough it out, he took a deep breath and started counting. "One, two, threeeeeeee." With a mix of determination and mild agony, he bravely stepped back into the shower. "Shit, shit, shit," he cursed as the cold water made his body tremble. "Who knew being a cultivator wouldn't make you immune to the dreaded cold showers at ho," Kevin mused, realizing that even with all his newfound powers, he was still too lazy to bathe in cold water like his previous self.
As he braved the icy shower, his mind wandered to the new quest given by the system:
[Main quest: Upgrade the store
Upgrade cost: 1 million Omni tokens
Requirents to upgrade the store: Four employees, Essence extractor, Ore processor, dinsional storage.
Duration: 1 year
Reward: Dinsional exchange, personnel cultivation room
Failure: Qi deviation.]
The quest left him feeling annoyed since he had just completed one and now had to tackle another. However, he was fortunate to have a whole year to complete it, allowing him to take it slow, but he knew he still had to work hard.
The challenge was daunting, as he needed to earn a total of 1.2 million omni tokens. The essence extractor cost 44,000 tokens, the ore processor 56,000 tokens, and the dinsional storage a whopping 100,000 tokens. Kevin did the math, realizing he had about just 715 tokens at the mont, leaving him with a staggering "1,199,285" token to earn.
"Almost impossible," Kevin muttered, contemplating the daunting number. But then an idea struck him – he could sell the wolf's heart he possessed. In theory, it could fetch the sa worth of tokens in a single day. However, he quickly realized the difficulty of such a plan; convincing people that his small store housed such an incredible item would be challenging.
Gruggg A hungry voice ca from Kevin's stomach, interrupting his thoughts about the mission. "Let's think about this tomorrow," he said and got out of bed.
He walked to the room, only wearing boxers, with a visible bulge in his pants. Riya was still playing with her new smartwatch. Kevin briefly considered telling her to sleep, but since she was older and it was the weekend, he decided not to bother. Instead, he pulled out a mix veg pizza from the fridge.
Kevin wasn't a big fan of veggies, but he still enjoyed eating them, especially when they were on pizza. Even frozen pizza was a treat he relished.
In just a minute or two, he devoured half of the pizza. The other half had already been eaten by his sister and mother. After polishing off the delicious pizza, he went to lie between his mother and sister.
