Chapter 750: 736

"Sure, I’ll wake up at seven and a quick breakfast should do the trick." Xia Yue felt that this time was manageable; it wasn’t too early.

"Then let’s say eight o’clock." Seeing her agreement, Yan Mo confirmed the time, then continued to ask, "The upgrade in the Fantasy Space won’t be complete until tomorrow night?"

"Let me check." Xia Yue checked the system.

"Right, tomorrow night. What’s up?" Xia Yue said.

"The day after tomorrow, let’s go out and deliver those items to them; they’ve already prepared a place for them.

The meteorological bureau said there will be a heavy rain warning within half a month, and the coastal areas might encounter a category 1 typhoon.

The water absorbers will come in handy, and we can see them in action," Yan Mo explained.

"That’s fine." Xia Yue nodded her head. Hearing about the typhoon, she almost forgot about this weather. It had been a year since she came here, and she hadn’t experienced any typhoons.

"Since we came here last year, it seems like we haven’t encountered any typhoons, not even typhoon weather." Xia Yue pondered and said.

"Indeed, but other places have," Yan Mo nodded. They really hadn’t encountered any extreme weather like typhoons since coming here.

"So, there are no typhoon days here?" Xia Yue asked curiously.

"There are. Maybe we were just lucky last year and didn’t encounter any," Yan Mo, who had looked through the local records, said. During typhoon seasons, there were indeed typhoons.

"What’s so strange about that? The Defense System altered the trajectories of those typhoons coming this way, giving you a restorative period of one year. In a few more months, that period will be over.

You all need to be prepared for typhoon weather." The System jumped back in upon hearing their discussion, landing on Xia Yue’s belly, and explained to them.

"No wonder we haven’t encountered typhoon weather. So, there’s a beginner’s protection period," Xia Yue realized with a nod.

"If we do encounter typhoon weather, will the equipment here get damaged?" Yan Mo felt this was the key point; if anything broke, they wouldn’t have the skills to fix it right away.

"Don’t worry. The buildings here are even more robust than you think. A little typhoon won’t bother them, but you people, as well as the items in the Planting Area and Farming Area, those need to be protected well," the System advised him.

"Is there anything in the Mall that can defend against typhoons? I want to make some purchases," Xia Yue said.

"Of course, there’s plenty. But do you still have Cosmic Coins?" The System reminded them that after buying those entertainment facilities, they were left with only a thousand Cosmic Coins, which was far from enough to purchase those items.

"I’ll just add them to the shopping cart for now. When I get the Cosmic Coins, I’ll buy them directly.

Believe me, once my Resort Area reopens, I’m sure to make a good amount of money. Cosmic Coins will be a piece of cake," Xia Yue said, very confident in her Resort Area.

"Alright, I’ve put a few items that you have permission to buy into your shopping cart. With these, you won’t have to fear even extreme typhoon weather," the System conceded, thinking she had a point, and placed a few items in her Mall shopping cart for her to check out.

"Thank you, System, you’re really amazing, so wonderful," Xia Yue hugged the System, kissed it a few times, then placed it on her belly and stroked its fur.

Yan Mo gave the System a dangerous look.

The System noticed Yan Mo’s gaze and gave him a helpless expression. It’s not like it asked Xia Yue to kiss it; glaring at it was pointless.

The two of them and the cat stayed in the garden for two hours, looking at the recommended typhoon defense items.

Afterward, they each returned to their own rooms.

The next day, Xia Yue got up on time at seven, brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed her clothes, and went for breakfast.

Yan Mo had already gathered everyone except for Dragon Lord Ao Ye, who didn’t care about such matters, in the Mansion’s largest garden, waiting for eight o’clock for Xia Yue to upgrade the Resort Area’s system.

Xia Yue finished breakfast, hurried back to the Mansion, confirmed with Yan Mo that everything was ready, and then clicked to confirm the upgrade of the Resort Area.

In an instant, everyone felt a warm force enter their bodies, coursing through their veins and throughout their bodies. Wherever it went, they could feel their veins being nourished and expanding.

Except for the new employees, people like Professor Hao, who had been there from the start, mostly broke through one level of their cultivation base, and a few of them visibly appeared younger.

Compared to their peers, they seemed to drop an entire generation.

Xia Xi, Mo Si, and Ziluo all felt their cultivation base had improved slightly, and their energy, as if filtered, became more pure.

Yan Mo absorbed quite a bit of energy, perfectly timing a breakthrough since he was on the verge of one. Now, his level, according to cultivation rankings, was roughly at the early stages of Jindan.

Xia Yu followed the method Xia Yue had taught him previously, absorbing and compressing the energy, jumping from no cultivation base straight to the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

The energy entered Xia Yue’s body, moisturized her veins, then disappeared without a trace, increasing only a little bit of energy.

"Some people are just so discouraging, look at your brother, skipping three levels. If he had more time, he might already be catching up to Yan Mo by now.

You need to work harder; you are currently the highest in cultivation among them," the System said, perched on Xia Yue’s shoulder.

"I am working hard now. I even enter the Different Space to cultivate at night. Now I should have the cultivation base of Jindan Peak. I also want to advance to Nascent Soul, but it feels like I’ve hit a wall; there’s no indication of wanting to advance," Xia Yue said discontentedly.

"You still lack experience. You need to go through more to succeed," the System said after thinking it over. Her life had been too smooth. The worst thing she had experienced was poor treatment by her foster parents and the revelation that she wasn’t the treasured daughter of the Xia Family.

But in daily life, she had not faced anything like hardship.

"You don’t want me to experience some kind of tragedy, do you?" Xia Yue immediately became vigilant.

"You don’t want to level up? It’s just a simulation of life; what are you afraid of." The System looked at her.

"I don’t want that. I think I’m doing quite well now. Upgrading and such can take a back seat. I believe my mindset isn’t quite there yet; it needs more time to settle.

Think about it; my power was given by others, which is why I’ve leveled up so fast. Otherwise, I’d definitely be lower than Xia Xi. I think I’m not in a rush to level up," Xia Yue immediately rejected the idea, frantically conjuring up several reasons for herself.

"Then you should definitely experience it, to see the myriad of life’s tapestries. Otherwise, with your current state, when will you ever be ready?" the System challenged.

"I don’t want to, I’m afraid. I think it’s too terrifying," Xia Yue shook her head in refusal. She didn’t want to endure such suffering; even occasionally watching short videos of the poor scared her too much, she couldn’t imagine living through it.

"Look at you being so cowardly." The System commented, looking at her like this only made it more determined to have her try.
