Gazing upon the transformed space where a toilet once stood, now a bathroom, a smile of satisfaction spread across Chen Wei's face.
"System, thanks a lot," Chen Wei expressed his gratitude.
"It's my pleasure, Host!" the System responded.
Stepping out of the newly renovated bathroom, Chen Wei's eyes sparkled at the sight of the dramatically altered room. He was thrilled with the cleanliness and orderliness of the space.
Dressed and ready, Chen Wei briskly exited the house to the courtyard.
The System had worked its magic on the courtyard as well. Where once there were simple stone slabs, now lay titanium alloy steel plates, topped with a delicate layer of soft grass—a transformation that perfectly matched Chen Wei's vision.
The modest tile-roofed house of before was now a two-story villa, its size expanded manyfold. Chen Wei surveyed his new abode with great contentment.
"Now, I can get back to my cultivation," he declared.
With nothing else demanding his attention, cultivation was the clear choice. Chen Wei made his way to the farm and settled into a meditative posture at the heart of the crops, immersing himself in his practice.
Meanwhile, the energetic Chen Mei was joyfully frolicking with the robots on the farm. Her boundless energy never waned, and after tiring of one game, she and a Beginner Guard Robot scampered off to the livestock farm to playfully chase the animals.
A full day of cultivation later, Chen Wei opened his eyes. He had ascended to the third level of the Nirvana Stage, yet the path to the fourth level remained a challenge. A third-level mutated fierce beast was akin to a beast king, and evolving further required exponentially more life energy from crystal nuclei. Chen Wei knew the breakthrough from third to fourth level would be no small feat.
But after a day of absorbing the life energy exuded by the rare crops, he sensed the boundaries of the third level beginning to yield. Confidently, he believed that with another day or two of dedication, the fourth level would be within his reach.
Post-cultivation, Chen Wei instinctively accessed the System to check his exchange points. To his surprise, during his cultivation, the System had not only harvested another crop but also captured a beast and fish, boosting his exchange points to a substantial 8,600,000. These points were the surplus of his diligent efforts.
"Now I can upgrade my weapon!"
Chen Wei's eyes sparkled with delight as he gazed at his exchange points. Without hesitation, he reached out to the system, "System, upgrade my weapon!"
The system responded promptly, "Acknowledged, Host!"
[Congratulations, Host: Weapon upgrade successful!]
[Weapon's current level: Level 2, capable of slaying level 2 mutated fierce beasts![
[Upgrade complete, 5 million exchange points deducted!]
[Remaining exchange point balance: 3.6 million.]
Chen Wei looked up at the enhanced weapons perched atop the wall's pedestals, noting they seemed to have grown in size.
Moreover, their metallic sheen and texture were now strikingly pronounced.
Rising to his feet, Chen Wei turned his attention to his sister, Chen Mei, who had worn herself out playing at the livestock farm and was now fast asleep. A smile crept across his face as he walked over and gently lifted her into his arms to head home.
"Hmm?"
But as he cradled his sister, Chen Wei sensed an anomaly—a chilly aura emanating from her body.
Upon closer examination, he discovered that MeiMei, nestled in his arms, had astonishingly advanced to the first level of the Nirvana Stage.
Chen Wei was both astounded and overjoyed.
It was remarkable; without any deliberate effort in cultivation, merely frolicking on the farm, his little sister had elevated her cultivation level.
Could it be that his sister was a prodigy in cultivation?
Sensing his bewilderment, the system promptly offered an explanation, "Host, you must diligently cultivate and not be outshone by your sister."
At this, Chen Wei was momentarily at a loss for words. "System, is it really a disgrace to be surpassed by my own sister? If MeiMei becomes more powerful than me, I'd be too thrilled for words. Why would I feel disgraced?"
The System remained silent.
Chen Wei continued, "By the way, System, why is my sister's cultivation speed so incredibly fast? Is it solely because of her Cold Jade Saint Body?"
The System revealed, "In addition to that, your sister Chen Mei possesses an exceptional cultivation talent that is truly unparalleled!"
Hearing this, Chen Wei's brows lifted ever so slightly.
It appeared his hunch was right—his sister was indeed a cultivation genius.
A grin of pride effortlessly spread across his face.
Far from fearing being outpaced by his sister, Chen Wei was genuinely ecstatic—he could hardly contain his happiness.
After arriving home with the little girl in his arms, Chen Wei gently placed her on the spacious, plush bed before heading to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The meal was a lavish affair, complete with both meat and vegetable dishes, and a soup to round it out.
Once dinner was ready, Chen Wei gently roused the little girl from her slumber. Rubbing her groggy eyes, she opened them to find Chen Wei smiling down at her. In a soft, tender voice, she greeted him, "Brother."
With a warm smile, Chen Wei playfully tapped her nose. "MeiMei, time to wake up and have some dinner."
Hand in hand, Chen Wei led MeiMei to the living room. Along the way, she couldn't help but look around in wonder, her little voice filled with curiosity, "Brother, where are we?"
Seating her at the table, Chen Wei chuckled, "This is our home, MeiMei. While you were asleep, I used a bit of magic to give it a makeover. Do you like it?"
Her eyes sparkling with admiration, Chen Mei nodded vigorously. "Mhm, MeiMei loves it!"
"Good to hear," Chen Wei beamed. "Now, let's eat up. Afterward, I'll take you to the entertainment room I've set up just for you."
"Entertainment room?" MeiMei's eyes widened with excitement as she shoveled rice into her mouth, pausing only to express her eagerness.
"That's right. It's filled with all sorts of fun things. But remember, playtime comes after we finish our meal."
"Okay, okay, MeiMei will eat up quick!"
Motivated by the promise of play, MeiMei dove back into her meal with renewed gusto.
"Don't just rush through your meal, MeiMei. Make sure to eat plenty of meat and veggies too. That's how you'll grow up tall and beautiful," Chen Wei advised, lovingly adding more to her bowl as he spoke.
