"Bro! Didn't you get a Shop Upgrade Card after completing the last newbie mission? You should upgrade the shop first! If the X Virus really does break out tonight at midnight, with our shop's flimsy door, forget about zombies, even people could easily break it down. People will be even scarier than zombies then! And we don't even know if upgrading the shop takes time..." Chen Xueying analyzed the situation for Chen Yuxuan, making a lot of sense.
Chen Yuxuan thought about it and felt that Chen Xueying's analysis was quite reasonable. How had he not thought of that?
At this moment, the System's voice rang out in Chen Yuxuan's mind…
[Host, is it strange that you didn't think of it with your IQ? I'm already regretting why I even bound myself to you! Wouldn't it have been better to bind with your sister? Sigh... If heaven gave me another chance, I would definitely say to you, "Go to bed"...]
Chen Yuxuan didn't know whether the System's sudden outburst was a blessing or a sarcastic remark. He felt miserable just thinking about it...
Chen Yuxuan immediately retrieved the Shop Upgrade Card from the System space and used it…
[Detecting that the host is using the Shop Upgrade Card, loading…]
[Shop upgrade requires three hours, please wait patiently…]
Chen Yuxuan was puzzled! He hadn't expected his sister to be right again, that upgrading the shop would take three hours. He felt useless as an older brother, always needing his sister to remind him of things...
"You wouldn't believe it, you were right. It'll take three hours to upgrade the shop," Chen Yuxuan said with a grin to his sister, trying to avoid embarrassment.
"It's not luck! It's because of my super high IQ and my precise logical thinking!" Chen Xueying pointed at her head, acting smug like she'd predicted everything.
Hearing the word "IQ" again made Chen Yuxuan want to spit blood! He couldn't do anything about the System, but this little sister of his was just asking for trouble. Give her an inch, and she'd take a mile...
Chen Yuxuan reached out and tickled Chen Xueying. The two siblings started playfully wrestling in the living room...
"Chen Yuxuan... you bully! 'A good man doesn't fight with a woman.' You're not a man! I'm not talking to you. I'm going to take a shower." Chen Xueying, having composed herself, stood up, blushing with anger. She went to her room to get a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom.
Chen Yuxuan sat alone in the living room, bored. He realized he was still wearing his sister's bathrobe. He thought for a moment... He couldn't very well open the shop wearing a bathrobe! Then, he went back to his room to grab some clothes and went outside to wash them.
Can't be helped, because Chen Yuxuan had sold the washing machine to a second-hand store to buy cigarettes and alcohol. Now, he had to wash by hand. Truly, he'd brought this on himself! Sigh…
"Oh my… whose child is this? So diligently washing clothes!" Chen Xueying walked out of the bathroom after her shower and saw Chen Yuxuan washing clothes in the courtyard. She teased him.
"Dearest brother! Can you help your adorable little sister?" Chen Xueying came up behind Chen Yuxuan, put her arms around his neck, and acted cute.
"Stop being so cutesy. You're giving me goosebumps. Fine, I'll help you! Get out of the way and don't disturb me while I'm washing clothes." Chen Yuxuan surrendered. He really couldn't do anything about this girl.
