The Real Way to Cultivate in the City-Chapter 43: Better Off Soaking My Feet
[Lin Hao Gains the Joy of a Mortal]
After Lin Hao supported Li Chuchu down the glass walkway, he glanced back in the direction of that man with toad glasses and a suit...
In Lin Hao’s perception via Divine Thought, that man actually had three Contained Objects on him!
The toad glasses, suit, and leather shoes...
Although Lin Hao didn’t know the abilities of each Contained Object, he knew—
Ke Chen City has never had a Receptacle like this!
Receptacles find controlling even one Contained Object very exhausting.
According to Yadan, a Receptacle controlling one Contained Object is like a simp falling in love with a girl who could break up at any moment; when dating, they must try harder and harder!
And controlling three Contained Objects would be like a simp simultaneously falling in love with three different girls with distinct personalities, all ready to break up...
No.
This isn’t a simp, it’s a simp wolf!
Of course, whether that man is a simp wolf or a simp dog.
That person...
Is most likely not an Extraordinary from Ke Chen City!
He’s from elsewhere!
So...
Engage in magical combat?
I’m just a lower grade Wood Element Pseudo Spirit Root right now.
After Lin Hao absorbed a Pseudo Spirit Root into his body, he could clearly sense his craving for Spirit Roots...
The more Spirit Root attributes, the higher the grade, the broader Lin Hao’s future Path of Cultivation will be!
As long as he goes to engage in magical combat...
Lin Hao can feel that if he went toe-to-toe with that person, he’d definitely win. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
No, no!
Lin Hao pulled his thoughts together...
Although Contained Objects are like Pseudo Spirit Roots to Lin Hao, resources he currently needs for cultivation.
But these resources, there’s no rush...
Can’t just recklessly plunder for resources that aren’t urgent.
This is cultivation, not the apocalypse.
A cultivator must have their own conviction, mustn’t become a slave to power!
Lin Hao quickly adjusted his mindset, there are always ways to collect more Contained Objects!
What he needs to do now is enjoy the amusement park and gain more [Joy], then find the "Magical Treasure to Resist Heart Demons."
That’s the assured gain...
Next stop, the drop tower!
...
The morning passed quickly, and Li Chuchu felt her legs were a bit weak.
Partly from walking, partly from playing...
The morning’s activities were truly stimulating!
Good heavens!
Roller coaster, bungee jumping, drop tower, giant pendulum, Ferris wheel...
She played them all with Lin Hao once.
It’s a bit overwhelming, really overwhelming.
A normal person going through this amusement park combo punch, that thrill is so intense!
But she didn’t want to admit it...
Lin Hao seemed quite happy playing, and she was embarrassed to suggest a break.
She was thinking of trying a roundabout way...
"Qianqian, are you scared? If a child feels scared, just say so, we can go ride the carousel."
Li Chuchu still remembers Qianqian’s expression...
π parts confusion, π parts curiosity, π parts concern, and the rest was all bafflement.
If you don’t understand, just ask, Qianqian asked:
"Sister, are you scared?"
"Scared? No way, impossible, not happening, sister is an adult, you know! How can adults be scared, ha, ha-ha."
"Then why does sister want me to go ride the carousel? Isn’t that for adults?"
Speaking, Qianqian pointed towards the carousel, only to see that all the riders were adults...
They seemed to be couples, one after another.
And the music playing seemed to be—
"What’s daddy’s daddy called..."
Li Chuchu: ...
Well, I, Li Chuchu, have always been strong; if kids aren’t scared, why should I be scared?
With that mindset, the morning finally ended, and her face was a few shades whiter than when she had sunscreen on...
Upon reaching a dining area within the amusement park, Lin Hao handed Li Chuchu a Vitality Replenishing Pill:
"Take it."
Li Chuchu swallowed it with some mineral water without a second thought.
"Aren’t you going to ask what it is?"
"You wouldn’t harm me."
Soon after, Li Chuchu felt a wave of comfort throughout her body.
This pill seemed really good!
But Lin Hao didn’t say what it was, and naturally, Li Chuchu wouldn’t press further.
Just like she wouldn’t question why Lin Hao could make a milk tea so popular in Ke Chen City with the same ingredients and methods...
She was a girl with a sense of propriety.
"We’ve done the thrilling rides, after lunch let’s do something more relaxing in the afternoon."
"Alrighty!"
Li Chuchu felt not only physically refreshed but her mood uplifted as well~
Lin Hao was considerate...
After lunch, Li Chuchu stood at the entrance of the haunted house.
Li Chuchu was puzzled.
Li Chuchu was confused.
Li Chuchu felt something was amiss.
Li Chuchu looked at Lin Hao, testingly asked:
"Lin Hao, before lunch, didn’t you say we’d do something relaxing in the afternoon?"
Lin Hao nodded, then questioned:
"Do you believe in science?"
"Of course, I do."
"Then shouldn’t playing inside a haunted house be relaxing?"
Li Chuchu was speechless!
Li Chuchu wanted to give up.
"Don’t worry, I’ll protect you."
Li Chuchu felt like she could handle it again.
Just a haunted house!
I, Li Chuchu, believe in science, as steadfastly as I believe in love!
Ten minutes later.
Li Chuchu left the haunted house alone first.
Li Chuchu, I’m no longer... so certain about love...
"Lin Hao must have done this on purpose!" Li Chuchu said through gritted teeth.
Li Chuchu felt Lin Hao deliberately put her through this to make her feel they can’t play together, but she had no proof.
But it didn’t matter...
She wouldn’t easily give up!
A man chasing a woman is like crossing a mountain.
A woman chasing a man is merely like tearing a thin veil!
While waiting at the entrance, Li Chuchu called her dad’s assistant:
"Uncle, uncle, can you help me find out how much the Ke Chen City amusement park costs?"
"Miss, this is our family’s project."
"What?"
Inside the haunted house, Lin Hao’s Divine Thought "saw" what Li Chuchu said outside, and the response from the other end of the call.
Lin Hao knew she was rich, anyone with three houses in Chenxi District would be, right?
But he didn’t expect the amusement park to be owned by her family.
But...
What does that have to do with Lin Hao?
From how people looked at Li Chuchu’s tilted head, Lin Hao sensed a hint of the boss’s intentions, but the two of them...
No way.
I, Lin Hao, have a lifespan over two centuries now!
And Li Chuchu, as a normal person, living to over a hundred would need to be drinking the milk tea I make daily...
Their gap isn’t wealth or status, it’s time.
To Lin Hao, after stepping on the Path of Cultivation, time is like a knife, slicing into...
Others.
And for him, as a semi-long-lived being and a future long-lived being, instead of investing emotions in someone, why not just enjoy foot baths.
Being eighteen year after year...
Isn’t it great?
Love?
Not even dogs bother!
...
After Lin Hao exited the haunted house, the log updated—
[Lin Hao Gains the Joy of a Mortal]
[Lin Hao Gains Enough Joy, Lin Hao Finds the Magical Treasure to Resist Heart Demons]
[Lin Hao Acquires a Lower Grade Fire Attribute Single Spirit Root]
No mention of a Pseudo Spirit Root?
Is this, an Innate Spirit Root?
