Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 4: Chicken Dragon

Since my aunt didn't have a car, she came by bus. Lijia Village was several miles away from the nearest stop on the urban-rural bus route, so Li Xiang rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to take my aunt here.

The young aunt naturally didn't mind. She jumped into the car and asked Li Xiang to take her for a ride.

Along the way, the two chatted a lot, and the aunt was quite pleased when she mentioned her son.

"Xiao Xiang, although your cousin is a loser and didn't even get into high school, he is a very honest and filial person."

Li Xiang: “…” He thought to himself, little aunt, maybe you have some misunderstanding about “being honest and doing your duty”.

The aunt seemed to have heard Li Xiang's complaints and quickly added, "Of course, he has many shortcomings. He is only 16 years old, but he is already flirting with other girls and has brought home several girlfriends."

Li Xiang: "..." I feel like I've been hit by 10,000 critical hits. Damn, he's so young, and he's already had several girlfriends. Poor him, he's been a virgin for two lifetimes.

"So, how many girlfriends did you have in college?" asked my aunt.

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

Li Xiang said sullenly, "We haven't talked about it."

"What about after work?"

"No!" Li Xiang felt so defeated.

The aunt couldn't help but comfort her, "You don't have to be so honest. It doesn't mean you have to get married after dating. Just date for fun. Alas, you're back in the countryside now, so there will be even fewer opportunities. How about I ask your cousin to keep an eye out for you and see if there's any suitable girl to introduce to you."

"Thank you, haha." Li Xiang naturally couldn't take it to heart. His cousin's circle couldn't introduce any good girls. Besides, he was so poor and accomplished nothing. Even if there were good girls, they would definitely not like him.

But he had to admit that he was not as good as his cousin in this respect. His cousin was also poor and had a low level of education, but he was always surrounded by girls. Perhaps his cousin inherited his yellow-haired father's talent for picking up girls.

After some hasty progress, we soon reached the main road.

"Xiao Xiang, please go back soon. It's getting dark. I can wait here by myself."

"It's okay, I'll take you to the car and then go back." Li Xiang thought, how can I rest assured that you, a woman, are waiting for the car alone on the road. Although, the security in the countryside is actually quite good.

The aunt shrugged, thinking that Xiao Xiang was still a warm man. She used to be very familiar with Li Xiang, but they had less contact since Li Xiang went to college.

During his freshman and sophomore years, Li Xiang would come back during the winter and summer vacations. During his junior and senior years, he only came back during the Chinese New Year. After he started working, he rarely came back even during the Chinese New Year.

Li Xiang had indeed been working for two years and had not been home to spend the New Year with his grandmother. It was not that he did not want to go back, but it was difficult to buy train tickets and he could not afford to take a plane.

I owed grandma too much in my previous life. In this life, Li Xiang will serve grandma well.

After watching his aunt get on the bus, Li Xiang drove his tricycle home.

After chatting with grandma for a while, night fell. Grandma was old and looked sleepy, so Li Xiang went to boil water and prepare bath water for grandma. Li Xiang went to the front yard, sat on a chair, drank tea, ate moon cakes, and admired the moon.

The Mid-Autumn moon was round and big, like a dazzling silver plate hanging in the sky, illuminating the courtyard as bright as day. Li Xiang suddenly felt relaxed, and the invisible shackles on his body disappeared.

The difficulties of the end of the world in the previous life and the hard work in the workplace in this life all disappear at this moment.

He really enjoyed this quiet time.

In my previous life, I was unemployed for a while. I felt like the sky was falling when I had no job. Then I failed the civil service exam after preparing for a long time. I felt like the sky was falling. When the end of the world came, I felt like the sky was falling...

But now it seems that those are not worth mentioning. On the contrary, the rare and beautiful time like tonight is the most precious. When the "darkness" falls, it will be difficult to find such a pure land again.

Li Xiang stood up, stretched his body under the moonlight, did some special rhythmic movements, and exhaled and inhaled at a specific frequency, over and over again, very seriously.

In his previous life, he had acquired a breathing technique, several sets of physical and fighting techniques, and had mastered them to become a transcendent. Now that he was reborn and once again became an "ordinary person", he naturally had to pick them up.

In fact, he started practicing on the day he was reborn, at least half an hour every day. However, he no longer had the strange feelings he had in his previous life, such as a warm current in his body and a significant increase in strength.

Li Xiang guessed that it might be because the end of the world has not yet arrived and no extraordinary particles have emerged in this world. Even the most advanced breathing methods and physical skills are useless.

However, Li Xiang did not give up. He planned to persevere and practice day after day, and practice makes perfect, because he knew that once "darkness" comes, the world will become different.

The current practice is to build up the foundation, turning the breathing techniques and physical skills into muscle memory again.

There is a set of Eighteen Black Dragon Styles in physical skills, which is extremely powerful even without requiring extraordinary energy.

In his previous life, in addition to martial arts, he was also quite good at shooting. He had played with pistols, rifles, submachine guns, grenades, and RPGs. Of course, in this era of gun bans, it is naturally impossible for him to do that. He can only play games occasionally to satisfy his desire.

……

The next morning, Li Xiang saw his grandmother had caught a chicken and was holding a knife, ready to kill it.

Li Xiang quickly said, "Grandma, let me do it!"

How can I let an elderly grandmother do something like this herself?

"How can you kill a chicken? Let me do it," said the grandmother. Because Li Xiang used to avoid seeing chickens being killed at home, thinking it was too bloody. Later, he went to a big city to study and work, and he was no longer willing to do such rough work.

"Grandma, watch me!" Li Xiang grabbed the chicken and the kitchen knife and started working quickly.

In Li Xiang's previous life, after the apocalypse, he struggled to survive and did all kinds of dirty and tiring work. Killing chickens? Kichoer!
Cutting the throat and bleeding... the operation was skillful, but suddenly, Li Xiang's hand shook.

Then, Li Xiang's face turned a little ugly.

Grandma quickly said, "Let me do it." She thought that it was Li Xiang's first time to kill a chicken and he was not mentally used to it.

In fact, it was not the case at all. Instead, a prompt suddenly popped up in his mind: "Kill the first-level alien beast Jipolong, achieve the first blood achievement, and reward 10 achievement points."
