My daily life of fighting wits with the living system

Chapter 40
Zhengbei District, Qingshan City, Old Town.

It has been a day since the eruption of spiritual energy happened.

In the old city at noon on Sunday, people came and went, and Geriletu and Shilai were as tired as dogs, gulping down the lemonade they bought.

Yesterday afternoon, Shi Lai and Bai Xiaoxuan were drinking jasmine tea and chatting at home.

In the last second, Bai Xiaoxuan was still laughing with Shi Lai.

In the next second, Bai Xiaoxuan's expression froze, she got up and walked to the window sill, her eyes were looking in the direction of the old city.

Bai Xiaoxuan opened the window and felt a gust of wind blowing into the room from time to time, listening to Bai Xiaoxuan say:
"What a strong spiritual power."

Shi Lai didn't feel any spiritual power, but only felt a breath of fresh air in the space.

At this moment, Shi Lai seemed to see a new line of dialogue appearing in the system subtitle dialog box in the lower right corner:
【?】

But when Shi Lai blinked in the next second, he found that the lower right corner hadn't changed.

Later, Shi Lai received a call from the team leader.

On the phone, came the serious voice of the team leader.

"Sometimes, an unidentified spiritual energy gushing event occurred in the direction of the old city, and the concentration is extremely high. I am sending you to find out the reason. I have Ge Ri Le Tu to help. Can it be done?"

Shi Lai opened the show for the public, Bai Xiaoxuan who heard the voice smiled and nodded to Shi Lai, motioning for Shi Lai to accept the task.

When said:

"Good team leader, make sure to complete the task!"

Geriletu yelled on the other end of the phone:

"Wait for me tonight! You decide what to eat, and we both make plans."

The three of them had dinner together at night, and Geriletu promised to help Shi Lai complete the task within three days.

The next day, Geriletu and Shilai came to the Shaomai shop early, and Geriletu ordered Qiliang Shaomai (Qingshan City's Qiliang refers to Qiliang Shaomai skin), sat down and poured tea for the two of them, and then smiled and said:

"Have you noticed anything different about today's streets?"

Shi Lai became interested and said:
"I didn't find it, if you find anything, please share it with me!"

Geri Letu looked out the window as he gestured.

Shi Lai turned his head away, looking at the bustling passers-by and the scenery outside the window, he didn't feel any difference.

He only heard Geriletu say in his ears:

"Look at the big tree."

Shi Lai looked at the trees on the side of the street, and she noticed something strange!

"Why do the trees on the street look so green? Two days ago, I remembered that the leaves had already started to fall!"

Shi Lai said in surprise.

"Yes, you found the problem."

Geri Letu said approvingly.

"How is this going?"

Sometimes I don't understand.

Geriletu took a sip of tea and explained to Shilai:
"I want to popularize a concept to you. In China now, the Taoist cultivation system is based on the golden alchemy, right?"

Shi Lai nodded to show that he knew.

"The formation of inner alchemy can basically be traced back to the Han and Tang Dynasties, but do you think about what the previous cultivation system would be like? Or take a longer view, how did the immortals in the prehistoric period cultivate?"

Shi Lai shook his head doubtfully, expressing that he didn't know.

Geri Letu smiled, and Wei Shilai explained:
"The earth in the prehistoric period was very rich in aura. People could rely on aura to feed themselves in cultivation, and the same is true for all things in the world."

"Nowadays, the aura of heaven and earth is relatively thin, and people's cultivation methods are becoming more and more inward-seeking, and the way of inner alchemy came into being."

"The aura that spewed out yesterday was so strong that it even poured back the thin aura in the old city of Qingshan at that time. The most obvious change was the trees in the old city."

Shi Lai nodded and asked:

"The strong aura will bring the trees back to life, even out of season!"

Geri Letu smiled and said:
"If you are on the grassland, you will feel it more clearly. If the spiritual energy of the grassland is gushing out, you will find that the grassland that was originally green and yellow will show a huge circular green grassland overnight, and the spiritual energy will spread outward. round shape."

Shi Lai looked out the window, thoughtful, and suddenly turned to Geriletu and said:

"Then if we find the boundary where the aura spreads based on whether the trees are abnormal, and then use the boundary as a radius to find the center point inward, we can find the source of the aura surge!"

Geriletu smiled boldly, and said to Shi:

"Congratulations! Learned to answer quickly!"

After the two of them finished their meal energetically, they began to look for the boundaries of normal trees with regreen trees and yellow leaves on the street.

Only then did the two of them realize what it means to be full of ideals and skinny in reality.

Qingshan City is very large, and the aura spreading outward from the old city extends to other areas of Qingshan City. It took the two of them two hours to find the boundary even though they were driving.

After finding the boundary, the two marked the point on the map.

Shi Lai looked at Geri Letu beside him, biting his teeth, and couldn't help asking what was wrong.

Geriletu said:
"I underestimated the scope of the spread a bit. I thought that the border was not far outside the old city. I didn't expect to find it after walking so far. This made it difficult for us to focus on the center."

"What should I do?"

Geriletu said bitterly:

"Along the border, draw the circle."

In his clean rental house, Li Yan picked up the washed work clothes, and said to Xie Rumeng who was sitting on the sofa:
"I'm going to work, oh no, I'm going to do the tasks on the reward list to earn some money, you wait for me at home and don't wander around."

Xie Rumeng, who was already dressed like an ordinary girl, nodded with a smile, and then ecstatically watched TV.

What was broadcast on the TV was the famous Chinese TV series——

"The Legend of Zhen Huan".
.
Li Yan was walking on the street, heading towards the golden arch where he worked.

He looked at the trees by the street, a trace of doubt lingering in his heart.

"Are the trees so green two days ago?"

Back to yesterday afternoon.

Li Yan spent several hours explaining the structure and origin of this world to Xie Rumeng.

"The Eight Desolation World is a mythical world. If it is true, you will come thousands of years later."

"Kong Haomiao, according to my understanding, we should belong to the relationship between Zhouzhuang and Die, Die and Zhouzhuang."

Xie Rumeng interrupted Li Yan's speech and said:
"What is Zhouzhuang and Butterfly?"

Hearing this, Li Yan touched his forehead suddenly and said:
"Forgot, there is no "Zhuangzi" in the Eight Desolation World."

"I'll get you some books and ordinary clothes later, so that you can understand the world better."

Xie Rumeng looked at Li Yan's half-sleeved shorts with disgust, obviously he didn't like this kind of clothes.

Looking at Xie Rumeng's disgusted eyes, Li Yan said helplessly:
"It's not the same as mine, let me buy you some loose home and sports clothes."

Xie Rumeng took out a bag of crystals from the storage ring, handed it to Li Yan and said:
"Are these crystals enough?"

Li Yan stared dumbfounded at the spar that Xie Rumeng took out. This is the trading currency of the Eight Desolation World. He quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, I'll just spend the money."

"Your storage ring can be used!"

Xie Ruyan nodded and said:
"It works."

Li Yan stammered and said:
"Then can I see other items."

Xie Ruyan nodded. She felt that the man in front of her did not have any malice toward her. Although he did not appear to be empty, he was able to tell everything, so she was not so wary and showed the contents of the storage ring.

The red exercise book [Hufeng Divine Art] of Jindan Realm.

The orange technique [Phantom Maple Style].

There are a lot of super enlightenment sand.

And most importantly!
Three fifth-grade water spirit fruits.

These fifth-grade water spirit fruits can no longer improve Xie Rumeng's water spirit root qualifications, and Xie Rumeng's spirit root qualifications are already much higher.

Li Yan looked at the blue fruit on the table, full of the texture of water.

He asked with some embarrassment:

"Can I have one?"

Xie Rumeng saw that his submissive appearance was a bit funny. You must know that in the vastness of the world, he is a decisive and uncompromising sect master.

He nodded with a smile and said:
"Eat, you're welcome."

Li Yan picked up the spirit fruit on the table and went to the kitchen to wash it.

Then he sat on the sofa and ate the fruit as if tasting it.

This tastes like a peach!

But there is only one kind of fragrance, which can be said to be very weak.

Because there was no core, Li Yan ate the fruit in two bites.

After eating, he was full of expectations for his own changes.

Reality disappointed him, and he didn't feel anything for a few minutes.

He smiled wryly as if resigned to his fate:
"Sure enough, the spiritual fruit will only work in the prehistoric world."

Xie Rumeng pointed to the TV on the side and said:
"what is this?"

Li Yan looked at the TV and said:

"Well, let me think about it, you can understand it as a magic weapon in this world."

"How to use it?"

Li Yan picked up the remote control and taught Xie Rumeng how to use it:
"so."

He pressed the switch key.

Watching the TV that suddenly turned on, Xie Rumeng subconsciously blocked her eyes with her palm.

I saw a middle-aged uncle golden rooster independent praying mantis player on TV, saying:
"Golden bell cover, iron cloth shirt~"

Oh sorry, this is the extreme challenge I watched yesterday.

Li Yan opened the small TV app, searched for Huaxia History, and quickly found countless up hosts. Li Yan clicked on one of them and showed it to Xie Rumeng. He got up and said:

"Look at this first. I'll go buy you clothes or something. Don't wander around when I come back."

Xie Rumeng nodded, watching the TV intently.

Li Yan changed his clothes and walked out, heading straight to the mall.

As a person living in the new era, Li Yan has well implemented the spirit of lying down.

His job is as a waiter in the Golden Arches. He works eight hours a day, and the salary he pays is completely enough for his low-desire life.

A rental house accounts for one-third of the salary, and most of the remaining money is spent on games and staff meals, leaving more than 1000 per month.

Moreover, Li Yan is a moderate cleanliness freak. He can't stand the dust in the place where he lives, and he uses a vacuum cleaner to clean the rental house every day.

In general, it can be regarded as a delicate chubby.

"Auntie, can you prepare a new four-piece bed set for me, it's a girl's style, it looks better."

Li Yan's first stop was the bedding wholesale at the entrance of the shopping mall.

"Okay, wow, do you want a quilt?"

Li Yan nodded, and asked for another pillow.

Having prepared these, Li Yan did not rush to take them away, but went into the mall to buy clothes.

Li Yan, who has been single for many years, doesn't know how to choose clothes for girls.

He keenly observed the size of clothes bought by a girl who was about the same size as Xie Rumeng, and then bought them a size up.

A long pajamas, in the style of Crayon Shinchan.

There is also a full set of white sportswear, and a white sweater is also given inside.

When it came time to buy shoes, Li Yan ran into a problem.

"What's the size of your feet"

do not care!Anyway, pull back the price conscience!If it's not good tomorrow, come back and change it!
"Boss, these white models, 37, 38, 39, give me a pair each."

Bless me for being right!
After leaving the mall, go back to the bedding store to pick up the packed four-piece suit and quilt pillow.

Li Yan's body was already full of things.

He thought helplessly, if only he had a storage ring and knew how to use it!
After taking a taxi back home, Li Yan held a four-piece quilt and pillow set in his left hand, and three shoe boxes, clothes and trousers in his right hand, and found the keys in his trouser pocket.

Ah, exhausted.

Li Yan put down the items in his hands, and went out again, only saying that there were some things he forgot to buy, and asked Xie Rumeng to try on the clothes and shoes first.

Xie Rumeng looked suspiciously at Li Yan who was going out and the things on the ground.

She walked in and took a look. It was the clothes and three pairs of shoes that people were wearing here.

"Why a triple-double?"

Xie Rumeng was stunned for a while before remembering that he didn't know the size of his feet.

A blush flashed across his face, and he tried on the shoes on the ground.

The pair in size 38 fit well. Xie Rumeng picked up other items and went into the room to try on modern clothes.

Xie Rumeng, dressed in white sportswear, stood in front of the mirror, looking at her clothes.

Is this the clothing of modern people?

Xie Rumeng felt a little strange.

The sound of footsteps rushing upstairs came from her ear, and Li Yan opened the door the next second.

Panting heavily, Li Yan smiled and raised the bag in his hand.

Inside the bag are boxed beef and mutton rolls, vegetables and various dipping sauces.

Li Yan looked at Xie Rumeng, smiled and said:

"Let's have hot pot tonight!"
