Chapter 163 Seizing Resources from the Secret Realm
Jian Ning exhaled a long breath, calming herself down.
"Grandma, I'll get up right away."
After cultivating for a while, it felt as if all the meridians in her body had been unblocked, and she felt exceptionally comfortable from head to toe.
Jian Ning held her phone and subconsciously glanced at the time.
Six o'clock in the morning.
This is quite early for breakfast.
When she went out, Jian Yi, who was sleeping in the living room, was already reciting classical Chinese texts.
Wow, that's really curly.
After she finished washing up, her aunt brought out the cooked noodles and gave each of them a bowl.
Only her and Jianyi's bowl of noodles had eggs in it.
Perhaps noticing her gaze, the aunt picked up her bowl, slurped up a mouthful of noodles, and said, "We don't like to eat eggs, you children can eat them."
Grandma chimed in, "Eat up! Don't worry, we have plenty of eggs at home. I'll go to the supermarket to grab some later."
Uncle said, "Mom, don't go out and wander around. Stay home with Ningning. If she falls and gets hurt again, I'll buy the eggs on my way home from work later."
Grandma said stubbornly, "The supermarket is offering 50% off eggs today, it's cheap! They open at 7:10, I'll go early to get a good spot so I won't fall."
Aunt frowned, disagreeing, and said, "Mom, if you save a few dollars, you'll end up spending even more if you fall."
Jian Ning picked up a piece of noodles with her chopsticks, took a bite, and when she looked up, she saw the long-lost system pop up.
Sensing unusual fluctuations in the power of the secret realm, a group of cultivators rushed there, eager to seize its resources. In the cultivation world, strength reigns supreme, and resources are limited! You left your sect to gain nothing from your trials; how can you miss such a golden opportunity?
[Mission triggered!]
[Mission: Defeat other cultivators and obtain twenty Ancient Phoenix Primal Eggs.]
[Reward: Choose one of the following: Secret Realm Fragment *1 or Lucky Draw *1]
Jian Ning took a closer look at the task.
An unusual power surge? A phoenix egg?
What are all these things?
She frowned, but before she could think much of it, her uncle, aunt, and grandmother had already started arguing over the eggs.
Jianyi suggested, "I'll go with Grandma."
His aunt glared at him. "The college entrance exam is just around the corner, and you still have the mind to do other things!"
Jian Yi lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
Jian Ning slightly raised her left hand, just like she would report to the teacher before class, "Then I'll go, Grandma, tell me the address."
The old lady glanced at her and said, "You can't do it. You can't compete with those veterans."
Jian Ning hadn't initially felt that buying these eggs was absolutely necessary. If she couldn't get them on sale, buying them at full price was a minor financial issue for her.
But the old lady's words immediately ignited Jian Ning's competitive spirit.
"Grandma, you've underestimated me. You just wait at home."
Grandma was about to say something when the upstairs started banging and smashing again.
Hearing the noise from upstairs, everyone except Jian Ning was used to it, only slightly frowning with a helpless expression.
Jian Ning could tell from their expressions that this situation had been going on for more than just a day or two.
She asked, "What's going on upstairs?"
The old lady sighed: "The couple used to be quite loving. At the beginning of this year, the woman came back from her parents' home and caught the man having an affair with another woman at home. Since then, the couple has been fighting every day. They also have two boys at home, the older one is in elementary school and the younger one is only two years old."
"They're so noisy every day, you can't sleep well either, right? Didn't you go up and say anything?" Jian Ning asked.
My uncle and aunt both had expressions that were hard to describe.
The old lady pointed upstairs and said, "I've told her several times, but it didn't work. This family is not easy to mess with. Your uncle went up to talk to her once, and when the woman opened the door, she was holding a knife. Your uncle was terrified, so your aunt stopped him from going up to talk to her."
Even the usually assertive aunt looked helpless: "Just ignore them, they'll calm down eventually. There's so much hostility in society these days, it's not worth risking your life."
After that, the upstairs area quieted down.
Jian Ning took over her grandmother's task of grabbing eggs, just in time to go out with her uncle and aunt who were going to work.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, a man, a woman, and a child were standing inside. The uncle and aunt's expressions immediately became somewhat unnatural before they stepped into the elevator.
The child kept crying in the elevator.
Neither the man nor the woman intervened.
Suddenly, the woman behind Jian Ning shouted.
"Why are you looking at her! She's prettier than me, and you're already smitten again, aren't you!"
"I didn't see it. Can you please stop shouting outside?" The man said the first half of his sentence with great certainty, but the second half seemed to carry a deep sense of helplessness.
“I clearly saw you looking at her. You just like young and pretty girls. You think I’m old and faded. Let me tell you, Fu Wei, you think you can get rid of me? No way.”
As soon as the elevator door opens.
Just as the uncle was about to leave, the man impatiently pushed him aside, and the man walked out of the elevator first.
The woman forcibly grabbed his collar.
"Say something! What, you dare to do it but not admit it?"
Jian Ning followed him out and asked the uncle who had been pushed, "Uncle, are you alright?"
The uncle shook his head. "It's nothing."
The child was still crying in the elevator, and no one was paying attention to him. His aunt kindly pulled him out and said, "Go and catch up with your parents, stop crying."
The woman turned around and said irritably, "That's my child, what's it to you? Why are you pretending to be kind in front of my husband?"
Perhaps her uncle and aunt already knew what kind of person she was, and were too lazy to argue with her.
Uncle called out, "Ningning, let's go."
The man stepped forward and said politely, "My wife has a bit of a temper. I'm sorry, I apologize to you."
The woman tried to step forward, but the man put an arm around her neck and covered her mouth.
The man still smiled and said, "I'm really sorry."
You can't hit someone who's smiling, so the aunt replied, "It's nothing, it's just a small matter."
Jian Ning went to take the bus with her uncle and aunt.
After walking a distance, the aunt commented, "This man is at least reasonable, but his wife is really like a madwoman, biting anyone she can get her hands on."
Jian Ning simply listened from the side without offering any opinion.
The uncle chuckled and hit the nail on the head: "Then think about it, who drove that woman to madness?"
It has to be said that men understand men better.
Auntie sighed, "I hope they'll stop soon so our house can have some peace and quiet."
Jian Ning took the bus to the supermarket entrance, and it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
A large group of elderly people were crowded at the entrance.
They looked like they were going to rob a bank of gold bars.
Jian Ning tried to squeeze forward, but the old lady next to her made a "tsk tsk tsk" sound and looked at her with disgust.
Even with her thick skin, Jian Ning was too embarrassed to squeeze to the front.
Then, the old lady next to her, with her dog sneaking around, tried to squeeze in from the left and right. When they wouldn't let her through, she pretended to be hard of hearing and got away with it.
Jian Ning hadn't seen such a vibrant and lifelike scene in a long time.
At 7:10, the supermarket opened on time.
Immediately, a large crowd gathered.
Even Jian Ning was aroused by the situation before her.
Her physical strength was better than that of the elderly, and she was able to easily overtake one person after another. She didn't even need to think about where the eggs would be; she could just follow the general direction of the crowd and head straight for the area that everyone else was rushing towards.
The people in front quickly grabbed the boxes of eggs from the front.
Jian Ning still cheated, snatching a carton of eggs from her hand just as she was about to reach it.
Unexpectedly, an old woman appeared who lacked martial ethics.
Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in and wouldn't be able to grab any eggs, he simply snatched the ones from Jian Ning's hands!
