While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

"But, but, I don't have money" replied Adam, hoping to make an excuse so that he didn't have to go shopping with her.

"It's fine I have some money I saved as a last resort which I can spend now as we have started the company and with the plan, we can start making money in less than a month," she refuted. ​​

Both looking into each other's eyes, and seeing how adamant she was to go shopping, Adam gave in even though he didn't want to.

"Let's go, but we don't have time to waste so we must make it quick and not spend too much money," he agreed, giving in to her.

"Great, we are going to look incredible together for the high school reunion," she exclaimed.

After a few seconds of silence, she looked down at Adam who sat leaning on his chair unfazed and realised what she said.

Blushing and flustered, she ran off to her room.

"I am getting changed and we will leave" she shouted out to him as she closed her door.

Sarah had already brought all her stuff over and took the guest room as her own.

Sat behind her door, Sarah felt so many mixed feelings towards Adam and how he had changed so much over the years.

Adam was technically her boss as he held 51% of their company's shares, but they also had a close friendship.

"If only we could date just like Cole and Emma," she mumbled to herself.

This didn't go unnoticed by Adam, who went to lie on the sofa and wait for Sarah.

[I didn't know she felt that way, but it's too dangerous for me to date anybody and I need to focus on getting stronger in order to protect those close to me and save my Aunt and maybe even her father with the pills sold in the system] thought Adam.

He had his priorities, and he wasn't in a position to relax and the only reason he was spending a lot of time with Sarah was to finalise the formation and initial plan of their company.

The thought of there being cultivators out there, that could accomplish all kinds of feats, and the mere idea of guns and blades scared Adam and he no longer saw the world as only wealth, but also strength.

After a few minutes, Sarah managed to gain composure and wore a plain outfit of blue jeans and a white shirt and wore white trainers.

Sarah was a very pretty girl and so was Ella and Cole was also very handsome, but in the old friendship group it was Adam who was most average in terms of appearance, but they still all got on well together.

Sarah had hazel eyes and long wavy brown hair, which went well with her soft features and slender figure.

"Well let's leave now don't just lie there," pouted Sarah.

"Okay calm down" replied Adam as he chuckled to himself.

Ever since integrating with the Dungeon System, Adam has been bombarded with a mix of so many emotions, but now with an old friend and was going to meet the rest of his old friends, he felt normal and happy for the first time in a few years.

Walking out of the apartment was a young man in a plain black tracksuit with a pretty girl, who headed towards the stairs.

Adam decided he would break the silence and awkwardness between them with some old funny memories which he cherished.

"Remember when Cole tripped over in the lunch hall and he fell face-first into my food," said Adam as they walked down the stairs.

Remembering the hilarious scene and looking at Adam's face they both burst out into laughter.

Walking out of the building while reminiscing, they overcame the previous awkwardness.

"Where are we going," asked Adam who was dragged by Sarah into a taxi.

"Take us to Brooklyn Maxwell Mall," she said to the taxi driver who nodded and begun to drive.

After around 20 minutes they finally arrived and throughout the journey, Adam and Sarah were having a good time and making jokes and talking about how far they came as they reminisced about the past.

Paying the man 15 dollars they walked out of the taxi to see an enormous mall.

[This Maxwell Family are everywhere and are so rich, yet are not as simple as money and had their eyes on me] thought Adam wearily.

"So what store are we going to," asked Adam who had never been to such a large mall before.

"Well I have a nice outfit already prepared for the reunion, which is a surprise, and all we need is a suit for you, so we don't waste too much money," she answered as she dragged him off into the crowded mall.

They looked like a cute young couple, as they went around the mall together, but to Adam, it was an even greater feeling than that and felt the warmth of friendship and the luxury of not having to always be working and being able to relax.

After a while, they found a nice store that didn't seem too expensive and wasn't an extremely well-known brand, but it still had nice clothing.

Entering they began to look through the suit section and after a while picked out three suits for Adam to try on and they would decide between them.

"Okay let's go to the changing area now," said Sarah dragging him like she had been doing the entire day.

Adam just followed without a choice and entered into the changing cubicle.

"Wear the three-piece black first," told him, Sarah, from outside the changing cubicle, thinking that it was the best.

Taking off his black tracksuit, Adam put on the shirt and the smart trousers that went with it. Tying the red tie, which he remembered how to do from having to wear school uniform, and put on the waistcoat and the blazer, Adam walked out of the cubicle.

His slick black hair went perfectly with the black suit and the red tie brought out his shining red eyes.

Sarah thought it was perfect and highlighted all his features and was a slightly tight fit, showing his muscly body.

"Perfect, we will take this one and you don't have to try the rest," she decided after breaking out of her mesmerised daze.

"Okay, I don't care anyway" replied Adam nonchalantly as he shrugged and changed back into his own clothes.

Packing the black three-piece suit with the red tie, they paid 450 dollars, which was a lot for Adam who wanted to save money until their company allowed them to be comfortable, they left the store.

"I need to return to the apartment and you should begin the development and finalising the initial launch plan and we don't have time to relax now," said Adam before she could drag him to another place.

Looking into his calm red eyes, she knew he was right and it wasn't the time to be enjoying themselves yet.

"Okay let's leave and we will work hard until the reunion where we can have our fun and relax"
