Chapter 31 Buying Upgrade Cards

Needless to say, this kind of creature that fights with its mouth open is easy to deal with. Lu Chenxi directly threw several grenades into the sea monster’s mouth. These grenades were obtained from treasure chests and exchanged at the trading center over the past few days.

Lu Chenxi discovered that although grenades are disposable weapons with high consumption, they are very useful. The wealthy Lu Chenxi doesn’t care about this small amount of consumption.

Several grenades directly entered the mouth, causing some damage to the level 3 sea monster. However, it was fine, it could still hold on, just wait for it to recover for a couple of seconds.

Lu Chenxi wouldn’t give it any time to buffer. The purpose of throwing grenades was to stun the sea monster for a moment, giving her time to attack.

Taking advantage of the increased agility after reaching level 2, Lu Chenxi jumped up and successfully landed on top of the sea monster’s head. She plunged the Xuan iron sword into the sea monster’s head and then slashed it.

With her increased strength and the Xuan iron sword that could cut through iron like mud, Lu Chenxi directly cracked open the sea monster’s big head.

In the last second before its death, the level 3 sea monster thought of many things. It regretted most that it didn’t believe the rumors and challenged this two-legged creature. If it had another chance, it would definitely listen to its tribe’s advice.

Lu Chenxi, who had successfully killed the sea monster, quickly jumped back to the shore. The killed sea monster would automatically decompose into materials, and she didn’t want to fall into the sea.

[Edible Fish Meat x30, Sharp Teeth x8, Water-Repellent Bead x1]

Among the dropped materials this time, there was actually a Water-Repellent Bead. Lu Chenxi curiously picked it up and examined it.

Item Name: Water-Repellent Bead

Effect: After wearing this Water-Repellent Bead, you can breathe freely underwater and have a water-repellent effect.

“This is a good thing,” Lu Chenxi picked up the Water-Repellent Bead. This is simply a blessing for people who can’t swim.

Just then, Chenyue ran out of the house. She saw her sister fighting the sea monster, it was so cool.

“Sister is the best, sister is invincible!” Chenyue started flattering her sister again.

Lu Chenxi calmly said, “Just average, third in the world.”

“Ah, why is it third in the world? Who are the first and second?” Chenyue asked for clarification.

Lu Chenxi realized that it was really hard to play puns with children, she couldn’t even understand. But she continued to answer, “The sky is the first, the earth is the second, and I’m the third, hahahahaha.” She laughed at her own joke.

Although Chenyue still didn’t get the joke, she laughed along with her sister.

“Chenyue, look what I have in my hand?” Lu Chenxi showed Chenyue the Water-Repellent Bead in her hand like a treasure.

Chenyue leaned closer and looked: “It’s a bead, another protective bead?”

“No, this is a Water-Repellent Bead. Wearing this Water-Repellent Bead allows you to breathe freely underwater and prevents water from getting on you. You don’t even need an umbrella on rainy days, isn’t it amazing?”

“Wow, it’s so amazing? This bead can also be used as an umbrella, it’s so magical,” Chenyue was amazed to hear the function of the Water-Repellent Bead.

“Come here, sister will put it on you,” Lu Chenxi was about to put the Water-Repellent Bead on Chenyue’s neck.

Chenyue twisted her little body, refusing to let her sister put it on her: “Sister, why are you always giving it to me? You use it yourself.”

“Why would I use it? I can swim, but you can’t.”

“What if you accidentally fall into the water next time? That would be scary, your nose and ears would all be filled with water, you wouldn’t be able to breathe, and you would slowly drown. It would be so painful,” Lu Chenxi saw that Chenyue was reluctant, so she scared her.

“No, no, Chenyue doesn’t want to drown,” listening to her sister’s description, Chenyue shuddered.

“Then quickly put it on. When there’s a safe environment later, sister will teach you how to swim.”

Chenyue stood still obediently this time, letting her sister put the Water-Repellent Bead on her.

“Okay, let’s go back to the room and rest. Let’s see if we have enough system coins to buy an upgrade card,” Lu Chenxi took Chenyue, who was bouncing around, back home.

As soon as they arrived in the room, Lu Chenxi picked up the water cup on the table and took a big gulp of water, “Ah, refreshing!”

Then she opened the system panel to check her balance and found the page where the upgrade card was located:

[System Mall]

[Balance: 2054 coins]

[Upgrade Card: 2000 coins]

Without hesitation, Lu Chenxi clicked confirm purchase. In the next instant, she watched as her balance plummeted to 54 coins.

“It’s like working hard all year and then going back to square one,” Lu Chenxi felt a pang of pain.

She handed the upgrade card to Chenyue: “I bought the upgrade card, use it quickly.”

Chenyue took it obediently: “Okay, thank you, dear sister.”

The upgrade card is very easy to use, players only need to click confirm to use the upgrade card in the system panel.

Another flash of white light, Chenyue felt nothing, and successfully upgraded to level 2.

“Not bad, not bad. Next time we encounter a sea monster, sister will let you practice,” Lu Chenxi was very satisfied to see Chenyue successfully upgrade.

“Sister, why don’t we go now?” Chenyue was excited.

Lu Chenxi hooked her finger and lightly tapped Chenyue’s forehead: “Go now? You’re crazy! Quickly tidy up and cook. Don’t you see what time it is? You still need to take a bath later.”

Chenyue, who was being reprimanded by her sister, had no power to resist, and of course, she didn’t dare to resist.

Dinner was simple tonight, just a tomato and egg soup and a carrot stir-fry with meat. It had meat, vegetables, and soup, a balanced diet, Lu Chenxi was very satisfied.

Chenyue, who didn’t like carrots, had an opinion but didn’t dare to say it. She could only secretly throw the carrot slices into her space when her sister wasn’t looking, and then find an opportunity to throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

But Chenyue was too nervous, her movements were sneaky, and she was discovered by Lu Chenxi in no time: “What are you doing?”

Chenyue, startled, jumped up, looking even more nervous. After reacting, she tried to defend herself: “I didn’t, I’m not.”

Lu Chenxi saw her cowardly appearance and knew she had done something wrong. She guessed: “Did you throw away the carrots?”

Chenyue’s little head shook left and right very obviously, denying: “I didn’t throw them away, I put them away. It’s not that I don’t want to eat carrots, it’s that the little fish love them, I saved them for them.”

Hearing this forced defense, Lu Chenxi couldn’t help but laugh. Realizing that this wasn’t strict enough, she immediately put on a serious face.
