Chapter 127 – My sister lives with me
After lunch, Qin Xiaowei sat in the living room, took out her guitar, and began to play seriously.
Ren Lan sat opposite her, looking like a star-struck fan.
Lin Jichen also sat beside her, waiting to enjoy the heavenly music from this diva of two worlds.
Such a privilege was rare in the future. Every time Qin Xiaowei sang in the future, it was on the biggest stages for all her fans.
But now, she was singing just for the three of them.
How could they not cherish this opportunity?
Tang Tang sat in Lin Jichen's lap, also eagerly waiting for her auntie to sing.
Qin Xiaowei strummed a few simple chords, and a light, first-love-like prelude began to play.
"When we first met, it was a chance encounter."
"You brought me hope and encouragement."
"My mood was like riding a paper airplane."
"Flying through the clouds to see the stars."
"The vast galaxy is all about you..."
"Watching whales swim to the sea bottom."
"Dandelions scattering across the earth."
"This world has so many beautiful scenes, worth exploring together."
"Let the past be the past, let the future be full of hope."
"This first meeting was so sweet, worth remembering with all our hearts..."
...
When the song ended, three pairs of hands clapped enthusiastically.
"You said you weren't good at songwriting, but with this level of creativity and singing, if you don't become famous, I'll... I'll twist Little Lin's head off for you!" Ren Lan said confidently.
"Why twist my head? Can't you twist your own?" Lin Jichen retorted.
"No way, your head is big, mine is small. The big head should bear the pressure."
"Get out of here."
Their banter made Qin Xiaowei and Tang Tang laugh.
Qin Xiaowei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they hadn't noticed the little thoughts she had hidden in the song, which was good.
Both of them understood, realizing it was his cousin who was coming.
"When is your sister coming? Should I leave first?" Ren Lan asked nervously, feeling like she was about to meet his parents.
"Not sure, she said within a month, maybe a bit earlier. Don't worry, she'll let me know first."
"That's good." Ren Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a while, Qin Xiaowei didn't want to disturb them further and left with Tang Tang.
Lin Jichen re-entered the game.
There was still time before his appointment with Jiang Luoyu, so Lin Jichen decided to clear the Nightmare and Night Cave Ghost Ridge Secret Realms first.
The more equipment he could get, the better. If he could get a few Mysterious Grade items, that would be ideal.
Moreover, these two Secret Realms could be entered solo, unlike the Corpse King Valley which required a minimum number of players.
Lin Jichen first cleared the Nightmare Secret Realm, picking up over a dozen pieces of equipment, all Spirit Grade, none Mysterious Grade.
The drop rate was much lower than the first time.
But this was normal. The first clear, also known as pioneering in the game, had the highest drop rate and best quality.
Once the first clear was taken, the drop rate and quality would no longer be the same.
The cultivation and reputation rewards for the first clear were also the highest, with subsequent clears greatly reduced.
This was one of the reasons all guilds were eager for the first clear, regardless of the cost.
Not only could they become famous in one battle, but they also aimed for luxurious equipment and cultivation reputation.
To get more equipment, Lin Jichen cleared the Nightmare Secret Realm in all five modes: Simple, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Hell.
Each mode could only be cleared once per day, not just one mode.
After clearing all five modes of the Nightmare Secret Realm, Lin Jichen picked up over twenty Spirit Grade items and over thirty Ordinary Grade items.
He also got a dozen bottles of Ordinary Grade elixirs and a few bottles of Spirit Grade elixirs.
After clearing the Nightmare, Lin Jichen went to clear the Night Cave Ghost Ridge, also solo.
Having been able to handle it easily at the Qi Refining Realm, it was even simpler now at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Clearing all modes of the Night Cave Ghost Ridge, the equipment drops were slightly more than the solo Nightmare.
In total, he got over sixty Spirit Grade items and over a hundred Ordinary Grade items.
Altogether, about two hundred items, ready to be sold in the store.
Though it was a bit less, he could come back every day to clear it and replenish his stock.
Just as Lin Jichen exited the Night Cave Ghost Ridge, at the Secret Realm entrance, Li Fengwen was waiting with over a thousand members of the Blood Fiend Guild.
