Chapter 20: System Upgrade, 3 Types of Rewards
Lu Wei was a little worried. He didn’t feel anything when he lived in the tent with Lu Xiaoxiao, but now that there were two more people, it was bound to be very crowded.
However, he couldn’t just drive Wu Xiaoya and Liu Ruyan out. It was freezing cold, so they would just have to squeeze together.
He would just leave it like this for now and persevere for a few more days until they entered the city.
“You and Xiaoya will sleep on this side. The conditions are like this, so just make do for now.”
Hearing Lu Wei’s words, Liu Ruyan’s face flushed slightly, and she quickly said softly, “It is already a great fortune to be favored by the Young Master. Ruyan will always remember the Young Master’s great kindness.”
“Okay.” Lu Wei nodded and went straight to bed.
Lu Xiaoxiao squeezed into Lu Wei’s arms first, wanting her brother to hold her.
It was as if she was afraid that someone would snatch this embrace away.
In the end, she was just a seven-to-eight-year-old child.
Lu Wei naturally understood the Young Girl’s thoughts, smiled, and touched her head, holding her in his arms.
Lu Wei knew that although this Young Girl didn’t say it, she was obviously not so easily accepting of Liu Ruyan and her daughter.
In her heart, these two newcomers were here to share her brother, so she would instinctively reject them.
Liu Ruyan also blushed and held Wu Xiaoya in her arms, lying down not far from Lu Wei.
The two were only a meter apart, and they could even hear each other’s breathing.
As a single dog for two lifetimes, it was the first time Lu Wei had ever lain so close to a woman.
It was impossible to say that he didn’t have any thoughts.
However, it was also impossible to really do anything.
Because there were two children between them, Lu Wei couldn’t do that kind of thing in front of his Younger Sister, no matter how beastly he was.
The night grew deeper, and in the snow, a pair of light red eyes suddenly appeared.
The eyes were the size of mung beans, and they rolled around, sizing up the group’s direction, and quietly burrowed back into the snow, heading towards the caravan group.
It was a rat, at least half the size of a normal rat.
The rat was snow-white all over, without a trace of impurities. In this snow, it seemed to be invisible, and no one could find it at all.
Soon, the rat came to the center of the refugee camp, sniffed slightly, and quickly found a tent and burrowed in.
The person in the tent frowned when he saw the little rat, “Why are you here?”
The little rat came to the person’s face, opened its mouth, and spat out a piece of paper.
The person picked it up and glanced at it, then put the paper on the candle and burned it to ashes.
“Okay, I know. Don’t worry, it won’t delay the Lord’s affairs.”
The little rat nodded, turned around, burrowed out of the tent, and disappeared into the snow.
Before long, as soon as the little rat left the camp, it saw some millet on the ground.
Sniffing, a trace of disdain flashed in the little rat’s eyes, and it lowered its head and began to eat.
After eating, the little rat seemed to be unaffected by the Soul-Bewitching Grass at all, turned around and ran into the depths of the forest.
As a result, before it could take its first step, a stream of light flew over, as fast as lightning.
With a bang, it hit the little rat’s head.
The little rat’s body stiffened, and it fell to the ground.
……
The next morning, Lu Wei got up early to prepare breakfast.
Because he could upgrade the system today, he had been thinking about this for a while.
If it hadn’t been for seeing Lu Xiaoxiao sleeping so soundly last night, Lu Wei would have wanted to drag her up.
As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the berth next to him was already empty.
After getting dressed and walking out, he saw Liu Ruyan was starting a fire to boil water.
Seeing Lu Wei come out, she quickly bowed and saluted, “Good morning, Young Master. I have prepared hot water. Please wash up.”
Lu Wei nodded, “Okay, you prepare first, I have something to do.”
After Lu Wei finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the tent, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao who was sleeping, and directly pinched her little nose to wake her up.
Lu Xiaoxiao’s big eyes were full of confusion when she just woke up.
Turning her head to look at the culprit, just as she was about to ask Lu Wei what he wanted her to do, a large piece of meat smashed into her body.
“Xiaoxiao, this piece of meat is for you. How do you want to eat it?”
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little dazed for a moment. He woke her up early in the morning just to give her meat?
“I…” Lu Xiaoxiao just wanted to say that she wanted to stew the meat.
As a result, before she could say anything, Lu Wei interrupted her.
“Forget it, you can’t explain it clearly even if I ask you. I’ll take it back first and talk about it at night.”
After speaking, Lu Wei didn’t give Lu Xiaoxiao time to react and hurriedly ran out of the tent.
Leaving Lu Xiaoxiao alone, so angry that she really wanted to beat her brother.
The reason why Lu Wei was so anxious was because his system had been upgraded.
Just now, the system prompt sounded the moment Lu Xiaoxiao took the meat.
“Ding, the system meets the upgrade conditions, do you want to upgrade?”
Lu Wei found a quiet place, quickly opened the system, and ordered, “Upgrade.”
“Ding, congratulations Host, the system has been upgraded to level 2.”
“This upgrade rewards 5 Free Attributes points, rewards a repeat return opportunity, increases the number of bound people by 1, and today’s return times have been refreshed.”
Lu Wei quickly opened the system to check the rewards.
【Host】：Lu Wei
【Age】：18
【Aptitude】：51+
【Comprehension】：55+
【Constitution】：15/15+
【Essence Blood】：6.6/6.6+
【Spirit】：11/11+
【Cultivation method】：Body Forging Technique (Entry Level 12/100+)
【Martial Arts】：Killing Fist (Entry Level 6/100+)
【Cultivation】：Skin Fortification Realm (6/100+)
【Free Attributes】：5
【system Level】：Level 2 (0/10)
Bound Target: Lu Xiaoxiao (Click to expand)
(Item repeat return opportunity 1 time, valid for 3 days.)
3 rewards, no, accurately speaking, 4 rewards, because the return opportunity that he had just used for Lu Xiaoxiao had been refreshed.
In other words, Lu Xiaoxiao could return twice today.
Lu Wei carefully looked at these rewards, and what he wanted most was the first one.
5 Free Attributes points. Lu Wei thought for a while and directly added them all to Essence Blood.
Because Essence Blood was currently the only obstacle preventing his Cultivation progress.
Adding it to Essence Blood would allow Essence Blood to reach 11 points. In addition to leaving 5 points to maintain normal body function, he could have 6 points to use for Cultivation.
Originally, he could only Cultivate the Qu Ti Quan method 3 times a day, but after adding the points, he could cultivate 6 times.
The Cultivation progress was fully 1 times faster. How could Lu Wei not choose Essence Blood with such a speed of progress?
As for why he didn’t choose to bleed and return Essence Blood, it was because what he returned by bleeding was not necessarily Essence Blood, and it was very likely to be blood.
The first time was because of a special reward, with 3 choices, but now there were none.
“System, add points to Essence Blood.” After making a decision, Lu Wei no longer hesitated and directly started adding points.
