After buying the items, the two of them busied themselves arranging them neatly. By the time they finished, it was almost night.
After discussing it, the brother and sister decided to go back to their hometown in the countryside first.
We brought my grandparents to live with us in the city.
This was Xiao Ning's long-held wish, and Xiao Qiang naturally wholeheartedly agreed.
That night, lying on the wooden bed he hadn't been on for many years, Xiao Ning couldn't sleep at all. He was extremely excited to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
Life is moving in a positive direction, so what more could one ask for?
Of course.
As the saying goes, once people are well-fed and clothed, they start thinking about food and drink.
Human desires are endless.
This was true not only in modern times, but also in ancient times.
Xiao Ning once read a limerick online that perfectly illustrated what it means to have endless desires.
[They toil all day for hunger, and once they are full, they crave clothes;]
With both food and clothing in abundance, he also longed for his beautiful wife.
He married a beautiful wife who bore him a son, but lamented that he had no land and little foundation.
The fertile fields are vast, yet there are too few horses to ride when going out.
If the stable boy has mules and horses, he fears he will be bullied if he has no official position.
He thought being a seventh-rank county magistrate was too lowly, and he wanted to wear purple robes in the imperial court.
A high-ranking official, serving as prime minister, still plots to seize the throne.
Content with being the emperor, he also desired immortality;
Once you obtain the elixir of immortality, then you can challenge God to a duel.
Not content with what one has, what can one do about life?
If the world's desires are to be satisfied, then it's all just a fleeting dream.
This is a doggerel by Zhu Zaiyu of the Ming Dynasty. Coincidentally, he was a ninth-generation descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and a member of the royal family.
Zhu Zaiyu was a fallen royal, yet he still harbored such fantasies.
Xiao Ning already has the added advantage of a sign-in system and unexpected encounters. If he is content with his current wealth of nearly 100 million and his master-level martial arts cultivation, even the Xiao family's ancestor would probably crawl out of his ancestral grave and die of anger again if he knew.
After dealing with a series of matters, including being released from prison, returning home, staying in the hospital, and buying a house, Xiao Ning finally had some free time to reflect on life.
The countryside is quiet at night, except for the occasional bark of a dog when a passerby comes by, and the howling of the cold wind outside the window.
Lying on the wooden bed in the old brick house, Xiao Ning rested her head on her hands, but her big, dark eyes showed no signs of sleepiness. Meanwhile, the sound of her grandfather Xiao Yousheng snoring could be heard from the next room.
In the past, Xiao Ning had loathed this thunderous, earth-shattering sound, but now it sounded so familiar.
"I can't slack off! I need to run dungeons! I need to travel through time! To become an immortal, a saint, and live forever!"
Listening to his grandfather's snoring, Xiao Ning sat up in bed and made a decision in his heart.
"However, the teleportation cards in the system points shop can only teleport randomly, which is a bit of a rip-off. What if I end up in a world with a high level of combat power? Wouldn't my small body be killed in no time?"
With a thought, a burst of light appeared before his eyes, transforming into a semi-transparent virtual screen that floated in front of him.
Xiao Ning looked at the personal information, and immediately a message appeared before his eyes:
...
[Host]: Xiao Ning
Points: 9581
[Current consecutive check-ins]: 14 days
[Maximum consecutive check-ins]: 10006 days
[Realm]: First-tier Martial Arts Grandmaster
[Technique]: Dragon Elephant Body Refining Technique
...
Nearly half a month has passed since I returned from the world of Yitian. The rewards I've received for consecutive daily check-ins these past few days are hard to describe.
On the first day of registration, I received a 580-square-meter detached villa in Greentown Canal Garden, Yuhang County. Xiao Ning resold it for 120 million yuan. After deducting handling fees, brokerage fees, deed tax, etc., I only received 90 million yuan.
During the remaining 13 days, there were occasional rewards of 888, 666, or 999 yen, which were better than nothing.
However, Xiao Ning noticed one difference from the dungeon world.
In the world of Yitian, the rewards were points, silver, or even martial arts manuals, but later on they were card fragments.
In the real world, however, they have never received any rewards such as points or martial arts skills.
Perhaps there's some reason he doesn't know.
Opening the points mall and looking at the three types of cards displayed there, Xiao Ning hesitated, feeling uncertain.
