Chapter 21

Then he picked up a stone the size of a fist and quickly lifted and lowered it.

Huh?

After experimenting a few times, Duan Yu frowned.

"Why is there no effect?"

Duan Yu looked at the stone in his hand, puzzled.

Could it be...

He looked at the large stone thrown on the ground.

Then he looked at the fist-sized stone in his hand.

Duan Yu picked up the large stone again.

Then lifted it and lowered it.

Sure enough.

This time there was an effect.

The experience increased by one point.

"Good fellow."

"It seems this system doesn't allow cheating."

"It seems that tempering strength requires corresponding weight."

Sure enough, even with a system, one cannot do whatever one wants; one still has to work hard.

Thinking this, Duan Yu began to continue lifting the stone.

Before long.

Just as Diao Chan had finished washing the bowls and chopsticks, Duan Yu had also completed the one-hundredth lift.

【Ding, 【Tenfold Entry】 effect triggered, host is tempering strength, effect increased tenfold, congratulations to the host for obtaining a new entry, 【Strength Like an Ox-Blue 0/1000】】

The moment the system sound rang, Duan Yu suddenly felt that the stone, which had been extremely heavy, suddenly felt light in his hand.

He didn't need to think to know that the system entry must have taken effect.

But at the same time, Duan Yu also discovered that there was no longer any experience increase effect from lifting this same stone.

Duan Yu gave a bitter smile and then threw the stone in his hand onto the ground.

It seems he would have to increase the weight.

But overall, adding two blue entries in one day was a very good result.

After all, this was only his second day since transmigrating.

If he waited until a year later...

Duan Yu was confident that even if he met Lu Bu at that time, he should be able to arm-wrestle with him.

【Name: Duan Yu】

【Age: 25】

【Height: 188CM】

【Weight: 90kg】

【Entries: 【Tenfold Speed-Gold】【Hundred-Step Piercing-Blue 19/】【Strength Like an Ox-Blue 0/1000】】

After scanning the system, Duan Yu walked toward the room behind him.

Diao Chan had finished cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks and had settled her aunt, Lady Ren.

It was just that the drunkard uncle didn't know where he had gone.

He still hadn't returned.

"Big Brother Duan."

Diao Chan stood in front of the room door, wiping her hands on the apron in front of her.

Duan Yu stepped forward and held Diao Chan's slightly chapped little hands.

The skin on Diao Chan's body was still fair.

But her hands appeared a bit rough due to years of labor.

However, this was reasonable.

If they were truly a pair of snow-white, delicate little hands, it would be unreasonable instead.

Even if a young lady from a wealthy family worked all year round, her hands would still be rough.

She seemed a bit embarrassed.

Diao Chan lowered her head.

Duan Yu blew two puffs of hot air onto Diao Chan's little hands, which had turned red from the cold water used to wash the bowls.

"Does your uncle often not come home at night like this?" Duan Yu asked.

Diao Chan nodded gently and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Before Aunt was sick, Uncle was never like this."

"But later, when Aunt got sick, Uncle often didn't come home at night."

"At that time, the family still had some money and grain."

"It's just that not long after, it was all spent by Uncle."

Duan Yu smiled.

It seems that no matter what era it is, there is no shortage of spendthrifts.

"Alright, then we won't wait for him."

"Let's sleep early; I'll take you into the city tomorrow."

"Then we'll sell those furs for money."

"At that time, I'll buy you some new clothes and the rouge I promised you."

Duan Yu took Diao Chan's hand and walked toward the side room.

Inside the room, the oil lamp was lit.

Diao Chan knelt in front of Duan Yu like a young wife.

Her skillful hands were helping Duan Yu rub his feet soaking in hot water.

Duan Yu, who had walked in the mountains for a day, was indeed a bit tired.

Diao Chan's skillful technique made Duan Yu feel very comfortable.

"Every day I wash Aunt's feet with hot water like this, and Aunt says it's comfortable."

"Big Brother Duan, is it comfortable?" Diao Chan, kneeling in front of Duan Yu, looked up at him.

Their eyes met.

A lone man and a lone woman.

The dilapidated little room suddenly ignited with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Duan Yu reached out and hooked Diao Chan's chin, then leaned down and kissed Diao Chan's soft, fragrant lips.

"Wu~"

Diao Chan, like a frightened bird for the first time, didn't know how to respond.

She could only let Duan Yu domineeringly pry open her teeth and capture that fragrant, slippery little tongue. ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
