Son, You Didn't Take My 500,000 to Get a Card, Did You?

"Dad, don't worry, I'll be back to being a Dou Practitioner in no time!"

Xiao Lang patted his chest and promised. He then took out three green cards and handed them to his father, saying, "Here's a total of 660,000. I've paid you back with interest."

"Son, you didn't use my 500,000 to get cards, did you?" Xiao Zhan asked with a strange look as he saw his son pull out three more green cards.

Because anyone could get these green cards as long as they had money, unlike black cards or diamond cards that required a certain status.

Based on his understanding of his son, he was very likely to do something like that.

"..."

Xiao Lang's mouth twitched. Who was the one with the problem?

"If you don't believe me, just take a look yourself," Xiao Lang said, rolling his eyes.

"Really?"

Xiao Zhan took the three green cards with doubt and looked at them. His eyes immediately widened. Each card really had 220,000 in it!

This meant that he had lent out 600,000 and made 60,000 in just one afternoon!

That was a 10% return rate!

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Xiao Lang and said, "Son, how about I lend you another million? You can return me 1.1 million tomorrow?"

"..."

Xiao Lang rolled his eyes and couldn't be bothered to deal with his increasingly outrageous father. He turned and went back to his room.

Watching Xiao Lang walk away, Xiao Ding looked at his father and asked, "Dad, this money?"

Xiao Zhan also returned to normal, looking at Xiao Lang's retreating figure, he murmured, "You guys keep this money. Everyone has their own secrets. We just need to know that he is my son and your biological younger brother."

"Of course, we know that."

Xiao Ding grinned. Then, as if remembering something, he clenched his fists, his expression filled with worry. "Dad, third brother's realm has fallen back to three-stage Dou Disciple. What if Xiao Long and Xiao Hu bully him when we're not around?"

"Big brother, you don't need to worry about that. Have you forgotten that when third brother faced Galeo just now, his aura still had the presence of a Dou Practitioner for some reason?" Xiao Li said, stepping forward.

Xiao Ding also recalled the feeling he had when he arrived. His third brother did indeed possess the aura of a Dou Practitioner. He couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought third brother was just a bit eccentric, not as deep as fourth brother. I didn't expect both of them to have such big secrets."

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Father just said, we just need to know that they are our brothers," Xiao Li patted his elder brother's shoulder.

Xiao Lang returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking of ways to become stronger quickly.

"Just now, when Galeo provoked me, the system's choices didn't trigger. It seems being provoked by others doesn't always trigger a choice."

Xiao Lang carefully recalled the three times he had triggered system choices.

It seemed that when Xiao Yan was present, the chance of triggering a system choice was higher. When Xiao Yan was not present, he had never actually triggered a system choice.

Could it be that he had to be Xiao Yan's nanny?

Always staying by Xiao Yan's side?

However, Xiao Lang didn't care much about this. After all, Xiao Yan wasn't Tang San, who knew how to repay kindness.

Of course, this was just his guess. He wasn't sure what truly triggered a system choice.

"System, how can I trigger a system choice?"

Having learned from experience, Xiao Lang decided to ask the system directly. Perhaps the system would tell him.

"It triggers randomly, but events related to Xiao Yan can indeed increase the chance of triggering it," the system said calmly.

"Then I understand."

Xiao Lang nodded.

It seemed that when Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement, there was a high chance of triggering a system quest.

But before that, could he trigger any more system quests?

Xiao Lang had some ideas, but he didn't know if they would work. He decided to try tomorrow, as it was getting late today. He would first see what pills he could unlock to improve his strength.

Xiao Lang activated the Alchemy System and then opened the pill recipe interface. It displayed various densely packed pills, ranging from first to ninth grade.

However, 99% of them were grayed out, with only Qi Gathering Powder lit up.

"Holy crap, there's even Dou Practitioner Pills, Dou Master Pills, and even Dou God Pills?!"

Xiao Lang saw that there were pills that could instantly elevate someone to Dou God. Was this what it felt like to cheat?

"Hmm? Wait! What did I see? Ten Complete Great Tonic Pill? Blue Carefree Pill?"

Xiao Lang suddenly scanned the corner of the system's special pill section. There were a few items that didn't seem to be glowing, but their names were eye-catching.

Xiao Lang felt embarrassed to even click on them. He didn't need these improper things!

"System, why can't these pills be unlocked with money?"

Xiao Lang found that the system's pills couldn't be unlocked with money at all and couldn't help but ask.

"System pills require completing system choices to obtain rewards. Of course, it's also possible to unlock the pill recipes for system pills!"

The system provided an explanation.

"I see, but looking at the selection of pills to unlock, it's not something an ordinary person could accomplish."

Xiao Lang rejected the system's empty promises and then looked at the regular pills.

The prices for ordinary pills were similar to those on the market; he just needed to unlock them separately. But this was a minor issue, as pills were easy to come by, but pill recipes were hard to find.

"Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, one thousand gold coins to unlock. The price is quite reasonable, considering Xiao Zhan spent forty thousand gold coins at the first auction in the novel!"

Xiao Lang nodded. This Foundation Building Spirit Liquid could be considered the pill he needed the most right now.

The materials weren't expensive, only requiring two thousand gold coins. The profit reached twenty times the cost. It had to be said that alchemists made money faster than robbers.

Fortunately, he had the system; otherwise, he would have truly become a bandit.

After unlocking the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid, Xiao Lang redeemed another portion and poured it into the wooden tub. The previously clear bathwater immediately turned green.

Xiao Lang didn't care as long as his head didn't turn green. He then stripped naked and began to soak.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Xiao Lang opened his eyes and looked at the bathwater, which had become clear again, though... it was still a bit murky. He immediately felt his Dou Qi.

Holy crap!

After this whole night, his Dou Qi had only increased by a tiny bit. At this rate, he would probably only reach the fourth stage of Dou Qi in a year.

In the novel, Xiao Yan had cultivated from the third to the fourth stage of Dou Qi in just half a month. Was his talent really that poor?

However, Xiao Lang discovered that while his Dou Qi hadn't improved much, his physical fitness had significantly increased. He felt like he had inexhaustible strength.

But what was the use of that?

This was the Dou Qi Continent, not the Martial Artist Continent. Besides, the strength increase wasn't that much.

"Sigh, whatever, it's still much better than cultivating for five years and only reaching the third stage of Dou Qi," Xiao Lang consoled himself.

As he spoke, Xiao Lang wiped himself dry, dumped the bathwater, and walked towards Xiao Xun'er's room.

He could never forget the daily task of increasing Xiao Xun'er's favorability.
