''Thank you for the gifts.'' rk smiled and then time resumed its flow in the infinite cycle of creation.


    "TAP!" An inevitable fist got blocked by one hand alone.??


    "..." This left everyone in shock and more so Shi Yan who was already in the personal space of our very own protagonist.


    Shi Yan tried to withdraw his captured hand but was left impotent to achieve this quest. It seemed like he was trying to move an immortal mountain before him.


    "Go away and get drunk somece else." Our bored gamer said and then he finally let go of Shi Yan''s hand.


    ''Who the hell is this boy?!'' This was the question that rang in the mind of Shi Yan. He massaged his numb right hand and he could see clear red prints on his skin.


    The boy''s grip was hard and tight and Shi Yan never doubted that he could have suffered more in consequence of his actions.


    ''It seems like he''s another rogue cultivator in the city.'' Shi Yan concluded at this point.


    Since there was no point in staying here anymore, especially with a strong and mysterious opponent before him, he chose to give up and be wise in his next decisions.


    It was funny to note that not even one of his friendsunched an attack at this time.


    He had the highest cultivation base amongst them so the rest of his friends could only sit down and keep theirints inside.


    "We apologize. Perhaps we can repay this offense someday." Shi Yan bowed slightly and then led his more than a dozen friends out of the inn.


    They loved drinking in this Fearless Eagle Inn because they could get drunk and eat delicious food at the same time. s, it was sad that they could not do this today of all times.


    ''Hmmm... A wise boy.'' rkmented within since he detected no killing intent from the body of Shi Yan.


    His senses were much more sharper now that he finally entered into the first major realm of cultivation in this world.


    It appeared that the handsome heartbroken man was indeed fond of making friends rather than more enemies in life. Thus, our bored gamer approved of the nature of the young man.


    rk returned to his table once themotion ended in such a very anticlimactic way. He was of course not that ungrateful to beat up someone who had given him his 1st upgrade today.


    "Was that really your friend, brother?" Han Chai asked in both curiosity and fear. She did not like how his brother was about to get into a fight earlier.


    But the ending scene has truly shocked her some more. His big brother was indeed extremely strong! Han Chai realized in full.


    "Yes, he is." Our bored gamer answered briefly.


    "But why were you fighting earlier?" Han Chai asked some more and she was obviously unconvinced at this time.


    "You should not take everything you see as truth, Chai''er."


    "Sometimes, people love to act in a y and pretend to be something they are not."


    "Just like what I did with my hidden master, me and my friends can''t openly be friends." rk lied for the umpteenth time.


    "But how can you be friends with them when this is also the first time you have been in this city, brother?"


    Han Chai noticed a plot hole in our good gamer''s story and her eyes narrowed in suspicion.


    "Hehehe. They are allies of my hidden master, Chai''er. They were supposed to help us in here."


    "Just like how we got all those gold coins earlier today." rk lowered his voice at this instant and thisst part has finally convinced the smart head of Han Chai.


    "Ahhhh... Your master is really great, brother." Han Chai smiled and it was there when the food came for the two siblings.


    They had to make an extension of another table since what they ordered could feed the mouths of 10 full grown adults.


    Nevertheless, our bored gamer did not mind all these expenses because he was here to treat his sister Han Chai in full.


    The little girl had experienced a hard life since young and it was high time that she tasted how it was to live with abundance.


    The two ate and talked about the few happy memories that they had in Ascot Vige. But it was basically just Han Chai who did all the talking.


    Our bored gamer would just nod and smile from time to time as he took care of his sister''s fragile heart.


    * * *


    ''Hmmm... So what should I do now?'' rk asked himself whileying downfortably on the bed. His sister Han Chai slept right beside him and was already snoring heartily today.


    They finished their meal at 10 minutes past high noon and now they were just rxing from all the traveling they did in thest 3 days.


    ''I don''t want to spend so much time in this deste city.''


    ''This may be big and all but I wanted to enter into a sect faster.''


    ''That way I could easily ascend into the realms immediately.'' Our bored gamer mused and arrived at a decision in the next few minutes.


    ''Perhaps I should just go and challenge the strongest man in this city.'' rk was pleased with this conclusion.


    He then asked his loyal system with a few details about what he wanted to do and picked ater time to go there. Our good gamer would of course not leave his sister alone in this ce.


    There would be many risks to take especially now that he was still a very weak cultivator with no influence whatsoever. Thus, rk could only bring his sister along for the ride.


    ''Or maybe I could teach my sister and let her be a cultivator also?'' Our bored gamer thought some more and he decided that this n was indeed very feasible.


    This would lessen his worries and would make Han Chai see an even more wonderful world than this mortal one.


    ''Hmmm... Someday.'' rk smiled and before long, he closed his eyes and entered the thoughtless state of slumber. He was not yet immortal who did not need any sleep or food.


    Our avid gamer slept and in just a few minutes, two different snoring techniques could be heard in the privacy of this room.
