I was banned by the Revitalization event.

"I want to eat red bean pie."

Qin Shi whispered, lowering her head slightly so her brother wouldn't see her pink neck, pretending she hadn't understood.

She was an innocent girl and couldn't understand such vulgar words.

"Then I'll order takeout."

Qin Luo sat down, took out his phone and opened the delivery app. His sister's change of topic meant that she had already forgiven him.

After all, they are siblings.

They won't hold grudges.

The takeout menu was dazzling, and Qin Luo glanced through it briefly, feeling like he wanted to eat everything he saw.

War is a never-ending black hole.

Since the start of the war, the world's living standards have regressed by almost a century. Resources are scarce, and the production system has almost completely collapsed. Forget about hamburgers and fries; even fried meat is out of the question.

It's worth indulging in a little luxury.

"Brother, why did you order so much?" Qin Shi looked at the order in surprise.

"I'm hungry," Qin Luo said.

"Did you find some money outside this afternoon? You must have, that's why you forgot about the things your sister asked you to buy." Qin Shi thought for a moment, then gently clenched her fist, acknowledging her own judgment.

They always lived a very frugal life.

Ordering takeout is already a luxury, and looking at the orders my brother placed today, the total cost even exceeded one hundred yuan, which is something my brother shouldn't be doing.

Our family is rich now.JPG.

"You think you have to pick up money to get rich? That's so narrow-minded."

The order has been placed.

Qin Luo chuckled, tossed aside his phone, and casually patted his little sister's head.

Having lived more than twenty years longer and possessing foresight, his understanding far surpasses his age. Even if he cannot become a cultivator before the spiritual energy revival, raising a little creature is a piece of cake.

We must change our destiny.

Chapter 3 Qin Luo Doesn't Like Lolis

With the money paid in full, dinner was delivered quickly.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content.

The brother and sister lay comfortably on the sofa, leaning against each other, lazily digesting their food.

"Eating so much at once, I'm going to get so fat I'll be slaughtered like a little pig." Qin Shi said happily, rubbing her flat belly.

There's fried chicken to eat and cola to drink.

If she hadn't still had homework to do, she would be the happiest child.

"You've only eaten so little, it feels like a waste to order a single-person meal for you."

Qin Luo picks his teeth.

Satisfied.

My stomach is full, but my mouth isn't.

I just really couldn't eat anymore. Don't tell me that fried food is unhealthy or bad for my body. After struggling in a world littered with corpses for seven or eight years, being able to fill my stomach with calories and fat is an unparalleled feeling of happiness.

That was so much fun!

Even if this is a dream, it's still worth it if you wake up in the next second.

"Brother, is our family really rich now?" Qin Shi smiled with narrowed eyes, rolled over on the sofa, and poked her brother expectantly.

Qin Luo is behaving very strangely today.

One hundred yuan is usually three days' living expenses.

"Probably." Qin Luo thought for a moment.

What major events happened in 2022 that you can remember?

I can't remember anymore.

Since returning from the apocalypse, the most memorable moments for him were related to the revival of spiritual energy. Moreover, even if he remembered, investing requires capital, and ultimately, getting rich quickly in a year is simply unrealistic.

Having just finished eating, he checked his bank account balance and found he still had 20,000 yuan.

This money should last for several months without any problem.

Right now, the most important thing is to try out those cultivation techniques to gain some power to protect myself, and also see if there's an opportunity to win over those grassroots masters who haven't yet risen to prominence.

Spiritual cultivation relies more on natural talent than on resources.

In the future, cultivators will be divided into four levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Divine Connection, and Great Void.

Until the moment Qin Luo was reborn, there were only nine experts at the Taixu level. At this level, cultivators could fly at twice the speed of sound, withstand tactical missiles with their bare hands, tear apart aircraft carriers with their bare hands, and even nuclear bombs could not kill them. And as far as he knew, seven of these nine people were from humble backgrounds and were previously unknown.

Each one you win over.

It will be a great help to my future self...

If you're lucky.

If he can catch two or three, he might be able to become a force to be reckoned with and rival large corporations.

This is much more useful than making money.

"Shishi, come here, I'll teach you something good." Qin Luo beckoned to his sister.

Brother, I'll show you a big treasure.

"What."

Qin Shi, being completely guileless, obediently moved over.

"Close your eyes, focus your energy in your dantian, calm your mind, and imagine there are many scattered air currents in the air. See if you can gather these air currents into your body and guide them into your dantian." Qin Luo guided her step by step, imparting simple key points.

Even after the revival of spiritual energy, cultivators cannot achieve enlightenment overnight.

Most people still can't actually feel the presence of spiritual energy; their bodies are just stronger because they've been nourished. They need professional training and guidance.

I felt the spiritual energy.

This is the most important and fundamental step in spiritual practice.

Since he was planning to sneak away early, he naturally had to bring his precious little sister with him.

"What is this? Is it cultivation? Brother, you've also played Ghost Valley Eight Desolations?" Qin Shi became interested, pressed her calves under her buttocks, and obediently knelt up.

"Just take it as that, and do as I say first," Qin Luo urged.

"Where is the dantian?"

The girl tried it and looked down at her stomach.

Although many places talk about using dantian qi and sinking qi to the dantian, this location is not like a human organ, and most ordinary people don't know where it is.

"It's in that area of ​​the lower abdomen, roughly this area."

Qin Luo sat down cross-legged and set an example by gently tapping his lower abdomen.

Out of instinct.

He subconsciously began to sense the spiritual energy in the air.

The aura was very faint, like scattered stars, but it was real. Every time a few bits of spiritual energy were inhaled, one could feel a cool sensation, as if the cells were cheering with joy.

As expected, the revival of spiritual energy began much earlier.

However, without cultivation techniques, ordinary people cannot sense the subtle flow of spiritual energy, let alone cultivate it.

This concentration—

Reaching the Qi Refining level within a year should definitely not be a problem.

Having worked hard in his previous life, Qin Luo was at least a mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator. He had a clear understanding of the current situation and was full of confidence.

The strong have a chance.

Qin Shi was skeptical, but tried the method her brother had suggested.

However, the lower abdomen is a very sensitive area for girls. When I touched it, it felt strange, as if I was preparing for something intimate.

"Brother, are you lying to me about doing something indecent?"

The girl grabbed the pillow next to her, hugged it tightly, and secretly watched her brother, becoming more alert.

It shouldn't be astringent.

"Is my image in your mind really that despicable?" Qin Luo retorted.

"But you love reading doujinshi about your sister and watching anime with a sister theme. Bilibili has remembered your favorite recommendation habits!"

Qin Shi hummed in response and produced the crucial evidence she possessed.

Big data doesn't lie.

No matter how many times you browse, there's always one of these on your bro's homepage: anime with cute younger sister themes, otaku dance, or MMD.

The proof is like a mountain!

Qin Luo paused, then couldn't help but say, "Was that liking a younger sister? I clearly just liked..."

Qin Shi rested her chin on her hand: "Loli?"

Qin Luo: "..."

"...I just like my sister, you win."

Qin Luo patted his forehead.

Forget it.

Liking lolis is even more despicable than liking younger sisters, what's the point of explaining it?

Distracted, Qin Luo lost interest in continuing the lesson. He waved his hand, turned around, and walked towards his room. "Don't stay up too late, remember to brush your teeth, and eat less snacks before bed... I'm going to rest."
