Chapter 18: Shopping
Adrian, thrilled and a bit puzzled by the generosity of the rewards, asked the system, "How come you're being so generous today?"
The system responded, "Host has completed the mission flawlessly and in less time than given, thus earning additional bonuses."
Adrian grinned at the unexpected windfall and then focused on the new technique he'd been awarded. "System, explain the Eternal Yin-Yang Harmony Technique."
The system began its explanation: "The Eternal Yin-Yang Harmony Technique is a profound dual cultivation method designed to balance the energies of Yin and Yang between partners. By harmonizing these energies, practitioners can significantly enhance their cultivation speed, physical strength, and spiritual awareness. The technique emphasizes mutual exchange and balance, allowing both partners to benefit equally from the process."
Adrian felt a headache over the convoluted explanation and asked the system to simplify it.
The system summarized: "This technique lets you and your partner share and enhance each other's abilities, making both of you stronger."
Satisfied, Adrian then asked the system to show him the shop as he needed a mana circulation manual. The system displayed the manuals available in the shop, each with impressive-sounding names and unique benefits.

The system refuted, "Host, the quality and benefits of these items are unparalleled. The investment will yield significant returns in your strength and abilities."

He browsed the shop further and selected the following items:

Elixir of Intelligence
"System, purchase these items."
"Purchase confirmed," the system replied. Would you like to purchase anything else?"
Adrian thought for a moment and decided to save the remaining SP for future needs. He then thought of something," System what about the recording feature with 8K option?"
"Host can subscribe for 99.99 SP for a month for that feature."
Adrian then hurriedly replied ,"Do it" as he thought the black hearted system might change the price, as he felt the price was too low by usual standards.
With his new manual and items, Adrian felt more confident and prepared for the challenges ahead. He then closed the system panel, and looked at the naked beauty sleeping soundly next to him, with a satisfied smile plastered all over her face. He couldn't help but stroke her hair and was felt how blessed he was in this life. He then decided to go to sleep for the night and hugged Sophia before falling asleep soundly.
