Chapter 12 – Status
= The next day, 8 AM. =
"Ow, ow, ow"
Miaomiao stretched and took a deep breath. His balls were empty, but he felt light and refreshed. Still, the DOMS, aka delayed onset muscle soreness, was in effect. His body ached everywhere as he overexerted himself during the bar fight.
Changing the mood, Miaomiao opened a glass balcony door and walked outside the room, taking a sunbath, naked.
"Mmm, Sex System is the best."
Miaomiao placed his hands on his hips while his morning wood stood erected as he stretched. When his eyes adjusted to the sunlight, he found himself standing on a third-floor balcony of Poseidon Spa House, but he was being watched by several women on the opposite buildings, who were also resting on their room\'s balconies.
They were the prostitutes who lived in nearby brothels. These sexy women whistled and flashed their nipples, tempting Miaomiao to come to their side.
"Hey, sexy slave boy. Wanna play with this big sister?"
"I see that you\'re still energetic in the morning. Why don\'t you let this big sister help you? You don\'t have to pay."
Miaomiao\'s face twitched. He returned to his room and closed the curtain.
"Haiz, I forgot that this district is a den of thots."
He shook his head and sat on the bed, where Jiang Lan was still sleeping in.
Jiang Lan\'s expression was peaceful. She had a faint smile as she mumbled in her sleep.
"One… more… time."
Miaomiao sweated as he knew what she referred to. The system said Jiang Lan could dual-cultivate 2 more times yesterday, and he completed the deed. But when the clock ticked midnight, it said…
>
There was a refresh or a reset feature. Miaomiao ended up firing six rounds within one night, which emptied his balls. Still, it felt good when his partner desired him.
Also, Miaomiao could now check his status.

*********************************************
Although Miaomiao couldn\'t see his attributes, this status menu tracked his progress, which was system skills, qi, and essence.
The Dual Cultivation (Passive) skill was Miaomiao\'s current ability to exchange his yang qi with his partner\'s yin qi. As for what yin qi could be used for, the system hadn\'t explained to him yet.
The Yang Qi Auto-Gathering (Passive) skill enabled the system to gather yang qi from sunlight and other sources automatically every day. Every midnight, the system would give yang qi to Miaomiao\'s dantian at a fixed rate of 100 strands.
The [Stored Qi] and the [Stored Essence] showed Miaomiao how much energy he had in his dantian without having to count it himself.
As for the partner section and nemesis section, Miaomiao still had no clue what they were for. He could understand that Jiang Lan was his dual cultivation partner, but he didn\'t understand the percentage behind her name.
And most importantly, Miaomiao\'s cultivation base increased by one level after the wild sessions with Jiang Lan. It was unknown if he got stronger because of sex or his body evolved naturally after the bar fight.
\'Hehehe! Eat, sleep, sex! I don\'t care about you, my dear protagonist. I only care about my D and my new wife\'s V. It\'s an easy life!\'
Miaomiao was so happy that he leaned over to Jiang Lan and kissed her cheek. He whispered, "I love you, Lan\'er."
"Mmm."
Jiang Lan groaned in frustration as her beauty sleep was interrupted, but her consciousness journeyed back to Narnia, continuing her dream.
Miaomiao giggled, finding Jiang Lan cute.
Just as Miaomiao thought that his life would improve, the system issued him a new quest.
>
>
It promised that it wouldn\'t interrupt Miaomiao yesterday. The system fulfilled its promised and issued the next tutorial quest at long last.
>
>
>
Once again, the system issued an urgent quest, but this one looked easy.
\'System, can you cut that time limit out? This quest is too easy to be timed!\'
>
Miaomiao shrugged. He opened the system shop menu for the first time to check the goodies.
*********************************************
[Pills]
Basic Healing Pill (10): 1 Yang Essence
Basic Spirit Pill (10): 1 Yang Essence
Basic Refreshment Pill (10): 1 Yang Essence
[Manuals]
Orc King Sutras: 100 Yang Essence
Demonic Body Strengthening Technique: 100 Yang Essence
[Permanent Skill]
Aphrodisiac Immunity: 1,000 Yang Essence
*********************************************
Noticeably, everything required yang essence. Not many items were sold in the shop, but it contained vital pills and interesting manuals. Unfortunately, it was too expensive for Miaomiao. He could only buy pills at the moment.
Miaomiao examined the details of the three types of pills. The healing pill was self-explanatory as it could be used to heal internal wounds and restore stamina. The spirit pill could increase one\'s life qi, which was an energy that he didn\'t need just yet. And the last item, the refreshment pill, it could enhance Miaomiao\'s mental strength and heal mental fatigue.
Miaomiao didn\'t think much. He pressed the icon of healing pills.
>
"Yes."
*WHOOSH*
A red glass bottle with ten red pills manifested before Miaomiao. At the same time, a drop of yang essence disappeared from his dantian.
>
>
>
The quest was so simple that Miaomiao didn\'t know if the system was supposed to be this way from the very beginning. Because he was tricked left and right yesterday, Miaomiao didn\'t know if he should depend on his system cheat.
>
>
>
>
>
Again, the system gave Miaomiao a simple quest.
Miaomiao shrugged and operated his system menu. Now, a new tab appeared. It was his system inventory.
Unfortunately, the system inventory could only hold ten items. In the menu, ten blank boxes lined up in two rows.
Miaomiao shoved the newly acquired pill bottle to the semi-transparent menu to test it.
*WHOOM*
The pill bottle entered the screen, occupying one of the ten boxes. A small number at the icon\'s right bottom corner, [10], indicated the item quantity that Miaomiao had.

Miaomiao snorted. He stood and glared at his message panel, waiting for a new quest from this slave-driving system.

Now, the tutorial quest got harder. Although the time limit was longer, the task seemed difficult.
\'Level 10? I\'m currently at level 4. I don\'t have EXP status to measure my progress. How hard is it to reach the next level?\'
As Miaomiao worried about his future, he read the description of the new feature, Isolation Training.
*********************************************
[Isolation Training]
Conversion Ratio (Real World Hour/Isolation Space Hour): 1:1
Upgrade Cost: 100 Yang Essence
Next Conversion Ratio (Real World Hour/Isolation Space Hour): 1:2
Whenever you\'ve fallen asleep, your consciousness will be sent to System\'s isolated space for special training sessions that you can design for yourself.
Inside this space, you can choose to fight against illusions of fighters that you had once encountered in the past, or you can spend your time practicing various arts that you haven\'t mastered.
The Conversion Ratio is the time in the real world and the time you can spend in space. Currently, one hour in the isolation space is one hour in real life. You can upgrade the conversion rate by spending yang essence.
*********************************************
\'A hundred yang essence… I gained one essence from one round of sex. Does that mean I have to dual cultivate 100 times to farm those upgrade essence!? Horry sheet!\'
Miaomiao\'s face paled. Even though he didn\'t hate sex, but having sex 100 times was a lot of work. Moreover, the system limited the time that he could dual-cultivate daily.
In Jiang Lan\'s case, the system only allowed Miaomiao to ejaculate inside her 3 times a day. After a rough calculation, he could only farm 90 essences a month, which wasn\'t even enough to buy a manual to help his progress.
The future looked grim. Miaomiao was at a lost, staring at the message panel in a daze.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Miaomiao snapped back to his senses when he heard the door knocks. He put on his pants and walked to the door.
"Who is it?"
When Miaomiao opened the door, Ma Xingjuan was standing in front of the room.
"Did you have fun last night?"
"Oh, it\'s you. What\'s up?"
"Master has summoned you and S053," Ma Xingjuan\'s nose twitched as she smelled something foul, "but you two can take your time. Take a bath first. You stink!"
"…"
"Oh, don\'t forget to brush your teeth. I can smell "IT" from your mouth."
"…"
.
.
.
At noon, Jiang Lan and Miaomiao followed Ma Xingjuan to the fifteenth floor. As usual, Ma Xingjuan opened the magic array and led this couple inside.
At the center of the pool, Xu Xiuying was floating on top of the yin liquid. Nearby, Luo Cheng was also there, standing and erecting a yellow barrier around himself to maintain his body temperature.
The room was freezing cold. However, Miaomiao came prepared. He took two fur coats from Jiang Lan\'s room and wore it. Still, the room temperature was no different than torture.
Xu Xiuying gazed at Jiang Lan. She activated her eye technique and scanned through the latter\'s dantian.
"2nd stage level 5!?"
Xu Xiuying was astonished by the rapid increase of Jiang Lan\'s strength. Yesterday, she thought that this slave was only level 1 of the 2nd stage.
Again, Xu Xiuying teleported and appeared before Miaomiao. She glared into his eyes.
"What did you do to her?"
Miaomiao didn\'t avert his eyes. He glared back and smirked, "I fOOked her all night. What else?"
"Oh? That\'s all?"
"That\'s all."
Xu Xiuying\'s pupil changed colors. Black pupils changed to yellow. From yellow, they changed to red. Nobody knew how many techniques Xu Xiuying had used to scan through Miaomiao\'s body by staring into his eyes.
"Hmm. Interesting…"
Xu Xiuying grinned. She turned toward Luo Cheng, "Do you mind if I steal your disciple candidate? I want this boy."
Luo Cheng gazed at Miaomiao and revealed a bitter smile. He sighed, "You can have him, mistress."
"Hahaha! Very well, then. Mao Miaomiao," the snow woman revealed a broad smile, but Miaomiao had a hunch that she was scheming something dangerous.
"Mao Miaomiao. Are you interested in joining Silver Phoenix Sect?"
