Chapter 15 Unscientific
"I don't want to bother you for too long, so once my older brother finds me a place, I will move out. It's not necessary for me to live with them, meeting occasionally or not at all is just fine," Xia Xi said.
"I don't mind, feel free to stay here for as long as you need. However, I don't wake up early so I don't cook breakfast, and sometimes I'm too lazy to cook lunch and dinner too, usually just ordering takeout," Xia Yue responded, looking at her.
"Why don't I cook for you? Although it might not be as good as a restaurant, it's still decent," Xia Xi offered.
"Sounds good to me," Xia Yue readily agreed.
"Alright, it's settled then. I'll go upstairs and organize some things now," Xia Xi said.
"Mmm, I'll help you gather your bedding," Xia Yue nodded.
"I appreciate your help," Xia Xi said.
Both of them headed upstairs, with Xia Yue grabbing the bedding from the top floor before going down to Xia Xi's room. Afterwards, she went back downstairs to play games on the sofa.
"Host, your sister is quite formidable and has a high degree of fortune," the system said while she was playing her game.
"Really? In what way?" Xia Yue asked.
"Host, you don't need to speak out loud, you can communicate with me in your mind," the system said.
"She's like the main character in the novels you read. There may be setbacks, but the ending will always be good," the system explained.
"Aren't you a product of technology? Why are you talking about fortune luck, something that belongs to the realm of fantasy?" Xia Yue asked.
"Host, I am not purely a technological product. The place that researched me is the Cosmic Alliance, a highly advanced civilization. Such civilizations not only possess technological advancements, but they also have Magic Civilizations and Cultivation Civilizations," the system replied.
"You can consider me a product of both fantasy and technology. I embody the principles of technology while also incorporating the art of refining tools," the system continued.
"Otherwise, wouldn't it make no sense for the market to have items from the Cultivation Realm?" the system explained to Xia Yue.
"Oh, got it," Xia Yue nodded.
"Also, your world is not entirely scientific. There is also an element of the supernatural. For example, your sister. She possesses Spiritual Power and is cultivating," the system added.
"Really? Does that mean I can cultivate too?" Xia Yue asked immediately.
"Yes, you can, mainly through completing the first task," the system replied.
"I thought as much," Xia Yue rolled her eyes, continuing her game.
The system remained silent. It had almost grasped her temperament, understanding that pressuring her too much would only lead to counterproductive results.
Around four in the afternoon, Xia Yue received a call from Yan Mo.
"Are you free now? I want to take you to meet some people. Explain your situation to them," Yan Mo said to Xia Yue.
"Erm, can we plan for tomorrow? I have a guest at home, it wouldn't be right to leave them here on the first day," Xia Yue suggested.
"What time tomorrow? Someone will come to pick you up," Yan Mo asked.
"Eight o'clock in the morning would be good," Xia Yue responded.
"Alright, someone will be at your doorstep to pick you up at eight sharp tomorrow," Yan Mo said.
"Alright, thank you," Xia Yue happily responded.
Then, the call ended.
"What a concise man," Xia Yue murmured, looking at the ended call.
"System, you better do well tomorrow," Xia Yue thought to the system.
"It's you who needs to do well, not me. They can't even see me," the system replied.
That evening, Xia Xi took over the task of cooking.
"This is delicious, whoever marries you would be lucky," Xia Yue said contentedly, digging into the meal Xia Xi had prepared.
"As long as you enjoy it," Xia Xi replied with a wry smile.
"By the way, I have an errand to run tomorrow, so you don't need to prepare lunch for me. I probably won't make it back by noon," Xia Yue informed Xia Xi, remembering her plans for the following day.
