8 Turning To Alchemy In Hard Times (1/2)
[Chill, chill. That's not all. There is more news!] The system was shameless. It continued, [You will find out tomorrow…]
[Hehe… fine! I'll tell you something else! Although this world practices Dou Qi, you can still practice your techniques because the system automatically converts Dou Qi into the spiritual energy of Earth.]
Decisively, he spent 250 SP and bought the Bloody Cutter after he locked the Demonslayer Sword. He got up from his bed and summoned the Bloody Cutter for some quick practice.
”How is this a cleaver?” Yang Lei was speechless. It was larger than his waist! It would be more suitable to call it a… yeah, never mind, it's a cleaver. It's just a really large cleaver.
After swinging it around for a while to get the hang of it, Yang Lei de-summoned it and went to sleep.

[Subpage, Bounty Page, unlocked!]
Yang Lei was woken up by the system. ”Yawn~! Bounty? Cute…” He stretched as he unsteadily made his way to the bathroom.
”Pah!” Yang Lei's eyes widened as he spat, ”Wait, what? Bounty?” He hurriedly pulled up the Bounty Page. His eyes widened as he read the information. 2000 SP for each Quest? Sweet!
He quickly finished his business in the bathroom and hurried out of his room. He ordered breakfast for two and began eating. As he was shoveling the last bite into his mouth, someone sat down next to him.
”Ah, brother Xiao! I ordered one for you too! You gotta eat! You're too skinny! Man, what are they feeding you in this world?” Yang Lei pushed the other plate that he had ordered towards Xiao Yan who had just arrived at the inn.
”Uh, I ate already…w-with Xun Er…” Xiao Yan blushed and looked away when Yang Lei gave him a knowing look. He stammered, ”It was just eating together! Nothing else!”
”I didn't even say anything,” Yang Lei shook his head. They were both 15 years old. Why was there such a stark difference between them? ”So,” he began eating his second plate of food, ”where's sister-in-law?”
”I told her to wait for us outside,” Xiao Yan smiled when he heard the words, 'sister-in-law'.
”Well, can't have her waiting, can we?” Yang Lei wiped his mouth when he finished the food. Although the Dou Qi Continent had good, cheap, food, it was greasy as f*ck, man…
”By the way,” he whispered, ”You can only have one girl because I'm not going to bring other people's harems around for them…”
”Yeah, I only like Xun Er anyways,” Xiao Yan was unfazed. He didn't plan on getting any other girls.
Yang Lei paid a little tip and walked out of the inn with his martial brother. He squinted his eyes and whistled when he saw the woman waiting outside. He nodded his head and said, ”Is this Xun Er? Damn, you've got great taste!”
Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva as he followed his brother's eyes to a busty woman standing to the left of the door. His eyes popped out as he ogled at the huge breasts…
”Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!” He suddenly felt someone fiercely pulling his right ear. ”Who dares to- X-Xun Er! Um…” His face burned embarrassedly.
Hearing the commotion, Yang Lei turned around and noticed Xiao Yan being abused by a girl.
”Hey, how dare you hit on my brother! He already has someone in his heart!” Yang Lei joked. He obviously knew that this was the real Xun Er.
”Really?” Xun Er's eyes narrowed like small crescent moons. ”Who is it?”
”It's yo-” Xiao Yan frantically tried to answer her.
”It's that busty woman over there. Her name is Xun Er. Isn't my brother so cool?” Yang Lei screwed Xiao Yan over with his 'harmless' joke.
”Ah, I see. Yes, your brother is so cool! I also think someone needs to be punished…” Xun Er nodded her cute head understandingly as she twisted Xiao Yan's ear even harder and almost reached the realm of 360 degrees, a full rotation.
”Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Xun Er! Xun Er!” Xiao Yan cried in grief. He was framed! Framed! He sobbed as his crush furiously pulled his ear.
”I'm Yang Lei, nice to meet you,” Yang Lei chuckled and extended his hand to Xun Er.
