At Song Tian"s place, Song Xia is playing with her laptop, and Su Wen is preparing for the dinner. Song Tian"s phone is vibrating, and he took his phone out to see who"s calling him.Song Tian looked at his phone and answered, "Fatty w.a.n.g, what"s up?" He said.
"Brother, I"m going to bring Brother Lin to a training center outside of the city. I have to trouble you to take care of Lin Hua since Brother Lin"s worried about her at home alone," w.a.n.g Hai voice could be heard on the phone.
Song Tian said, "Alright, I"ll ask her to go to my place since my little sister and Su Wen still staying over here," He said, and the calls ended.
Song Tian looked at Su Wen, "Su Wen, Lin Hua will be staying over here," He said.
Song Xia heard that and curiously glanced at her brother, "Brother, are you and Sister Hua dating?" She asked.
Su Wen laughed, "Song Tian and Lin Hua? Are they dating? Impossible," She said as she knew her best friend"s taste very well. Although Song Tian is a tall and handsome guy, it"s not within the range of Lin Hua type at all.
Song Tian shook his head, "No, I don"t even have the thought of dating her as you already know" He said as he only thought Lin Hua as a friend.
Song Xia laughed, "Ah, brother. If you kept that mindset, you would never find a girlfriend for the rest of your life," she said.
Song Tian smiled bitterly, didn"t say anything.
Su Wen suddenly remembers something, "Song Tian, didn"t you say Lin Hua is staying over here? What"s happening?" She asked.
Song Tian answered, "Ah, that"s right, we got sidetracked. w.a.n.g Hai brought her brother training in another city, and Brother Lin"s worried since she"s alone at home. Since you girls are still here, might as well let her stays here."
Song TIan continued, "Su Wen, you said you"re going to cook for dinner, right? I"ll invite Grandma Zhao here for dinner," He said.
Su Wen smiled, "Yes, that would be great," She said as she learned some Chinese cuisine when she came over to Gao Zhao"s place last time.
Several moments later, Gao Zhao arrived at Song Tian"s cabin. At the dining table, Gao Zhao looked at Song Tian, "Xiao Tian, you need to prepare yourself. When I"m on my way here, I sense spiritual beast aura lurking around nearby," She said.
Song Tian shocked at his grandma"s warning, "What? There"s even a spiritual beast on this mortal world?" He couldn"t help but ask.
Gao Zhao nodded her head, "Yes, although the spiritual beast in the mortal world can"t harm another being. It"s annoying to deal with it," She said.
Song Tian surprised to hear this, "Annoying? Like what?" He asked.
Gao Zhao smiled bitterly, "I can"t say it with just word, you"ll know once you encountered one of them," she said.
Song Xia and Su Wen who"ve been beside them looks puzzled, "Grandma, what"s a spiritual beast? Are you talking about games?" Song Xia asked.
Song Tian shook his head because he didn"t know how to explain it to them.
Gao Zhao looking at her grandson expression, laughed, "Xiao Tian, let me explain to them from the cultivation world," She said.
Song Tian shocked, "Are you sure it"s okay to tell this to people casually?" He asked.
Gao Zhao laughed, "It"s not like it"s a secret. Even if I told the people all around the world, they might be thinking I"m reading too much novel or had a mental issue," She said.
After Gao Zhao explained all the stuff from cultivation world to universal law, Song Xia and Su Wen"s shocked, but they"re still skeptical because it feels so unreal to them.
Although Song Xia already reaches the part where she can control her qi in her level, she found it hard to believe the cultivation exists.
Song Tian looked at Song Xia and Su Wen"s faces and laughed, "Grandma, show them some stuff. They"re still unconvinced, and they might think we"re crazy," He said.
"Hmm, let me see. If I show a fire came out from my hands, that would be too boring," Gao Zhao pondered for a moment, and her eyes lit up, "Follow me outside," She said as she stood up and walked outside.
Gao Zhao who"s already outside, she can see Lin Hua who"s just arrived and said, "Good timing, Xiao Hua, come close to me," she said.
Lin Hua puzzled, but she walks closer to Gao Zhao. She saw Song Tian, Song Xia, and Su Wen appeared and asked, "What are you guys up to?" She asked.
Song Tian shook his head, "I don"t know, Grandma Zhao is going to show us something," he said.
Gao Zhao waves her hand as the small object appeared in her hand and toss it to the grounds and all of them can"t see what object it is as it"s dark outside and the object is really small.
Song Xia saw the object her grandma throw, but before she asks Gao Zhao what it is, she saw something expanding from the ground, and in less than a second, the expanding object becomes more visible to her eyes, but couldn"t discern what the object was.
As the object continues to expand, Song Xia shocked to see the object turns out to be a cruiser boat.
The back area itself is huge, there"s couch on the back with a small fridge beside it, and there"s also a table in front of the couch.
On the other side of the couch, there"s a complete set of kitchen utensil, fridge and sink installed and there are four front seats. One is the captain seat, and the rest are pa.s.senger seats.
Gao Zhao said, "Alright, all of you follow me. We"re going to take a trip," She said as she leads them to her boat.
Song Tian who saw the this happening in front of him couldn"t accept the fact that it was a cruiser boat, "Grandma? Aren"t this way too modern for the cultivator?" He asked.
Gao Zhao laughed, "What do you mean too modern? It"s already 2019, of course, we have to adapt with the new technology. Do you think I will show you some sword or something like that?" She said.
Song Tian nodded his head, "Yes, or something like a spiritual boat or anything related to ancient times," He said.
Gao Zhao shook her head, "You won"t find that anywhere, that stuff already extinct as people found a more convenient way to travel. Why would anyone stand on the sword to fly when you can enjoy your trip in a luxury boat? You can even relax inside, and there"s even a bed in the cabin below if you"re tired," she said.
Song Tian views on the cultivator world crumbled at this moment and Gao Zhao laughed after looking at her grandson expression.
Song Xia, Su Wen, and Lin Hua also couldn"t believe what they saw in front of them.
After all of them inside the boat, Gao Zhao said, "Alright, we"re going to take a trip. Just do your usual stuff and don"t mind me," She turns on her boat, and the boat is levitating.
Song Xia looked from the windows, "Woah, it"s flying," She said as her jaw widened.
Su Wen and Lin Hua couldn"t say anything the moment they"re inside the boat. Because the stuff happening to them exceeded their imagination.
Gao Zhao turns back, "I"m going to sped up this thing a bit so you can still enjoy the sceneries," She said as she increases the speed of her boat.
On the sky, all of them are glancing at the windows to look at the sceneries. Su Wen noticed that she didn"t feel any temperature changes while they"re at the sky, "Grandma, why I didn"t feel any temperature change even though the backside of the boat is wide open?" She asked.
Gao Zhao answered, "It"s because the boat has a function to normalize the air to a suitable temperature for human. There"s a blue b.u.t.ton on the top. You can press it if you want to see the stars" She said
Su Wen immediately tries to press it as she was curious with this oddity. After she presses the b.u.t.ton, all the top part of it transformed into a huge window.
All of them can see the stars and milky way since they"re high in the sky.
Song Tian looked around, and he saw that he could see another country through the window, "Grandma, is it okay if we"re flying at this speed? Won"t people detect us?" He asked.
Gao Zhao shook her head, "No, they can"t detect us no matter what technology they have. This boat only visible to whoever I want it to see. Let"s see," She said, and she projects her will so Song Tian couldn"t see the boats in her mind.
Song Tian startled as the boat suddenly disappear, but he"s still floating as if he"s sitting on the invisible object.
"But there"s still a collision. Isn"t it dangerous if something suddenly crashes toward us?" Song Tian asked.
Gao Zhao laughed, "Of course there"s still collision, I want my boat invisible in your sight. I can also turn the collision off if you want to experience free diving," She said.
Song Tian shivered, he shook his head "No no no, don"t. Grandma, I don"t want to die without an heir," He said, and all of them laughed.
After several hours of traveling around the world with Gao Zhao"s cruiser boat in the sky, all of them back to Song Tian"s place.
Gao Zhao already left, and there"s only Song Tian, Song Xia, Su Wen, and Lin Hua on the cabin.
Sat on the couch, Song Tian sighed as to what happens to him earlier was way too different from what he read on the novels.
Song Tian stood up, "Alright, it"s already 11 PM. I"m going to sleep, you guys continue with your stuff," He said as he walks to his bedroom upstairs.
Song Tian close his door, "Xiao Yi, I want to claim my reward from fishing," He said, and the quest scrolls appeared in front of him.
- Rewards: Basic Fishing Reel and Extra Stuff.
- (Claim Now).
Song Tian clicks the claim b.u.t.ton, and he noticed that his Basic Fishing Rod appeared in front of him and something is glowing near the handle.
After 5 seconds, the glow suddenly dimmed, and there"s fishing reel attached to the rod.
Song Tian looked at the reel to inspect it. The reel body had a red color with a black handle to spin the reel. As he looks closer, he notices there"s [Song Yi] written on the body, "Xiao Yi, why is your name written on it?" He asked.
Song Yi giggled, "Since it was manufactured by me, of course, my name has to be the brand of it," She said.
Song Tian laughed, "Alright, now show me the extra stuff," he said.
Song Yi laughed, "There"s new stuff on my shop in the fishing categories, and now you can sell the fish you caught in 24 hours directly to me," she said.
Song Tian eyes lit up when he heard he can sell the fish directly to Song Yi, "Wow, this is so convenient," He said.
Song Yi said, "Master, don"t expect too much from it. The price of fish might change depending on the demand in another universe."
Song Tian grinned, "As long as I can sell it, it"s still convenient for me hehe," He said as he opened the system shop.
Song Tian scrolling down the system shop and he can see the new item he can buy on the fishing section.
- [Bait]
Freshwater Bait:
- Small = $5.
- Big = $10.
Salt.w.a.ter Bait:
- Small = $15.
- Big = $20.
Warmwater Bait:
- Small = $20.
- Big = $25.
Coldwater Bait:
- Small = $20.
- Big = $25.
Song Tian smiled bitterly, "Xiao Yi, is that another price for one bait?" he asked.
Song Yi giggled, "Master, I"m not that black-hearted okay, it"s for one set of baits. One set contains 20 baits," she said, and both of them continues to talk.
In the downstairs, on the guestroom, Su Wen looked at Song Xia and asked, "Xiao Xia, you mention that your brother has a mindset to prevent him from finding a girlfriend. I wonder, what is it?" She asked.
Song Xia eyes lit up, "Hoho, Sister Wen. I didn"t know you"re that curious with my brother hehe," She said.
Lin Hua also had the same reaction as Song Xia, because she never saw her best friend curious about something other than the food related stuff.
Su Wen glared at Song Xia and Lin Hua, "What are you even thinking? I"m just curious, okay," she said.
Song Xia and Lin Hua laughed. Song Xia said, "My brother didn"t like the idea of dating a woman when he"s already seeing the woman as his friend."
Song Xia continued, "He"s afraid dating with a friend because if their relationship didn"t go well, it might affect his friendship with the woman he"s dating with," She said as she remembers someone.
Lin Hua puzzled, "But if he"s thinking like that, how can he find a girlfriend? He can"t just meet with someone and suddenly starts to date her, right?" She asked.
Song Xia shook her head, "Actually, I don"t really know what"s inside my brother"s mind. He starts having that mindset after he broke up with his ex-girlfriend when he"s on his second years in high school," she said.
Su Wen surprised, "Is it caused by a trauma or something? You said he"s having that mindset after he"s broke up right?" She asked.
Song Xia looked at Su Wen, "I don"t know if it"s trauma or not, he"s probably regretting the fact that he"s used to be a close friend with that Shen Lan even before they start to date," she said as she gritted her teeth when she mentions that woman"s name.
She continues, "The moment they broke up, all the past relationship is crumbled instantly," she said.
Su Wen noticed Song Xia"s face changed when she mentioned the name of Shen Lan, she couldn"t help but ask, "Is the cause of the break up really bad?"
Song Xia said, "When they start dating, the relationship goes very well. Because my brother think it"s time to tell his future plan to start his own farm to her, she immediately disagree with him. She asks Song Tian to continue with his study so he can be a successor for my mom and my dad"s companies."
Song Xia continued, "She said that she didn"t want to date a lowly being and starts to throw insults to my brother. She threatens him if he kept insisting, she"s going to end the relationship and move overseas," She said as her fist clenched really tight.
Song Xia tries to calm her mind, "My brother didn"t say anything as he only smiled to her. In the end, he apologizes and Shen Lan immediately told him that both of them are over. I heard both of them talks when I got back from the backyard after training," she said.
Song Xia said, "After they broke up, Shen Lan move to overseas in the next day. My brother"s trying to contact her, he wants to keep their friendship intact. But that woman blocks all my brother"s contact."
Song Xia continued, "Next week after that, my brother already got the information of Shen Lan whereabout. He immediately flies there to apologize in person. But after he flies back to this country, he didn"t say anything and only smiled when I ask him about it, and my brother told me that he regrets to date his close friend."
Su Wen surprised to hear that, "I didn"t know your brother have been through that, he must"ve been really hurt," She said as she feels sad for Song Tian.
Song Xia said, "I understand what Shen Lan expect from my brother as I try to look at her perspective, almost no one wants to experience such a bleak future."
Song Xia continued, "But, at the same time, I really want to crush and makes her suffer. To view my brother as a lowly being like that. Shen Lan, how dare you!" She gritted her teeth as her aura changed and smiled.
Su Wen and Lin Hua suddenly felt the pressure, and after both of them saw Song Xia"s smile, it makes them shivered.
