Chapter 9

With his cultivation breakthrough, his strength greatly increased, making him feel incredibly refreshed!

Su Xian was so happy that he wanted to burst out laughing to express his joy, but unfortunately... his mother was on his left and his sister on his right. If he laughed, it might lead to them urgently sending him to the hospital again...

But indeed, since he came to this world from the ancient era, he was not alone. At the very least, Dian Niang, who had accompanied him through countless nights, was still by his side, and even more so... she had become his reliance for survival.

Compared to the Su Xian in his memories, who was so ordinary as to be despairing, with Dian Niang's help, wouldn't learning any skill be directly at the MAX level? And even more so... as the core of the entire federation, Dian Niang's abilities were certainly not just this much. There must be other miraculous aspects, it's just that he hadn't discovered them yet.

For example...

"Miss Dian, how do I increase my activity level?"

【Unlike check-ins, the concept of activity level is too abstract to explain specifically. The owner must figure it out on their own.】

Dian Niang's response was utterly speechless.

But if you can get Qi Points just by checking in...

Can't I check in today?

Or is it because I just logged in and bound Dian Niang, so I have to wait until the next day...

Then I'll wait.

Su Xian lay in bed, suppressing his excitement. What's there to be so happy about, just reaching the middle stage of Concentration... not to mention, his sister, who is two years younger than him, is already at the late stage of Concentration. At his age, she would have at least reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

I'm only at the middle stage of Concentration, ordinary to the extreme, nothing to be proud of.

Hmm... time to sleep!

Thinking this, Su Xian fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Su Xian opened his eyes...

His pupils sparkled with vitality.

He looked full of energy.

This was due to the sudden surge in his cultivation, which he couldn't fully control yet...

But with Su Xian's current deep understanding of his cultivation technique, it would take at most two days to completely suppress this phenomenon.

"Miss Dian, can I check in today?"

【Yes, would you like to perform the daily check-in?】

"Wait... let me wash my face and hands first, for good luck."

Su Xian got up, went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then silently bowed three times to the gods and deities in his heart.

Then...

He said, "Alright, Miss Dian, let's check in!"

Dian Niang said: 【Check-in completed, received 5 Qi Points!】

Su Xian: "……………………………………………………"

………………………………………………

"Is that it?!"

He asked.

【Yes, that's it.】

Su Xian suddenly felt like crying.

Five Qi Points, just five points for a day of check-in. I was so excited for this.

Five points a day, 150 points a month, over a thousand points a year...

I only earn a measly ten dollars a year?

What use do I have for this Dian Niang?

I need thousands of Qi Points to subscribe to a cultivation technique... if the level is higher, by the time I save enough Qi Points, my son could be old enough to buy soy sauce.

This... this...

【The next check-in will be in five minutes. The next check-in time starts counting after the current check-in is completed.】

Su Xian, who was wallowing in self-pity, was startled and said with surprise, "I can check in again?"

【Theoretically, you need to check in eight times to claim all the rewards, or you can spend 500 Qi Points to get a Prop Card, which will automatically give you 120 Qi Points per month without the need to check in daily.】

Su Xian: "…………………………………………"

So it's at least 120 Qi Points a day. Although it's still very little, for some reason, after that shock, he suddenly felt that 120 was quite a lot.

And there's also the activity level, which should add a bit more... in that case, subscribing to a skill like Thunder Flame would probably require saving Qi Points for three days, which seems quite worthwhile.

Thinking this...

Su Xian nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he was about to say something to Dian Niang, the bathroom door suddenly started banging, and a clear, impatient female voice said, "Did you fall into the toilet? If so, make a sound so I can pull you out..."

Is it Tao Tao?!

Su Xian was startled, only then noticing that he had been in the bathroom for a long time... the house wasn't very big, and they only had one bathroom for the three of them. It was indeed a bit immoral to be in there so early in the morning.

"Ah... I'm fine, just a bit uncomfortable."

Su Xian quickly splashed some water on his face and opened the door...

A slender girl in a bear pajama stood at the door, arms crossed, looking impatient!

In terms of age, she was two years younger than him, but she was tall and looked more like Su Xian's older sister.

But he really wanted to show those people what their high-and-mighty goddess looks like at home.

Su Xian smiled and moved aside...

He said, "Sorry, Tao Tao, I forgot you were up too. You can use the bathroom."

Su Tao said, "I'll wait a bit longer, until the smell dissipates."

Su Xian: "………………………………………………"

"That... I didn't use the toilet."

Su Tao bluntly said, "I'm not talking about the smell of feces, but your smell."

Su Xian: "………………………………………………"

He suddenly began to doubt whether this woman really saved his life by sacrificing her future.

Is her sharp tongue trying to spray me back to the hospital?

Su Tao carefully examined Su Xian's face, and a hint of surprise appeared on her pretty face. She exclaimed, "Hmm... you broke through?"

"Yes, I had some insights last night and broke through to the middle stage of Concentration."

Su Xian said, "But there's nothing to be happy about. Compared to you, I'm still far behind... you must be close to the late stage, right?"

"How? Comparing yourself to me... just one level up and you want to challenge the head of the family? That's too arrogant..."

Su Tao said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I'll be the one in charge of the Su family. You just behave yourself. Or... do we need to fight? Fine, using the training ground once only costs ten star coins, not expensive..."

"Let's not, ten star coins are quite expensive. We're short on money at home right now."

Mentioning money, his sister's sharp tongue seemed less harsh... or perhaps, after making such a great sacrifice, anyone would face the saved person with a sense of benevolence, but she looked normal, even her sarcasm was as usual.

Su Xian suddenly felt his heart touched. She... could she be trying to make him feel less guilty?

His expression softened, and he said, "Don't worry too much about the money. We still have half a year. We can think of ways together. Since we've been accepted, we won't be stopped by tuition fees."

"No need. I have a friend who said she would lend me money. I'll pay her back with interest in the future, so you don't need to worry about it."

Su Tao said, "Alright, the smell in the bathroom has dissipated. I'm going in. And, can you move away from the bathroom? Or do you want to eavesdrop?!"

As she spoke, her eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Su Xian: "………………………………"

"I'm leaving!"

Su Xian fled quickly.
