Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 174: I Am Straight

"Ugh, how cruel, my dear husband doesn't want to tell me the truth and wants to hide his dirty secrets," Irene muttered in a crying expression and continued before Li Wei could say anything.

"Li Wei, as I said, it isn't too easy to get land. The first thing you will need is the trust of nobles and the royal family. Without it, they would never consider selling their land permanently, even if they found it troublesome to manage."

"Secondly, you will need millions of golds to purchase it, and depending on the land size, the amount might even reach hundreds of millions," Irene stated, looking at Li Wei, who frowned a little after hearing her.

To gain the trust of nobles and the royal family, he would need to reveal his strength, something he was unwilling to do.

As for the money, there was a way to earn a lot with his ten times blessings, but he couldn't explain where the money came from.

Not to mention, he was planning to buy a large size of land, which would require a considerable amount of money, depending on the level.

As he thought of this, he frowned deeply to ponder, while noticing Irene staring at him with a weird look and an evil smile that made him shiver for some reason.

"Miss Irene, what's with that look? Are you planning something against me?" he asked directly, looking at her with caution.

Watching him like this, Irene snorted.

"Humph, why did you think I would plan against you? I was just thinking of other ways where you can get the land easily and might even get it for free," she stated with a pout, making Li Wei stunned.

"Miss Irene, are you joking? Who would give me land for free?" Li Wei asked with doubt and puzzle.

In response, Irene once again let out an evil smile as she looked at him strangely.

"Li Wei, there are many people who have the same thoughts as you and want to create their own city. Because of this, many nobles have private land that doesn't belong to the kingdom."

"The same goes for the Esther family, who are high-ranking nobles and have a variety of lands for you to choose from. You might even get it for free if you marry their current eldest daughter, Lyla Esther," Irene explained calmly with a wide smirk.

Hearing this, Li Wei became dumbfounded, but he instantly shook his head.

"Miss Irene, stop saying things I wouldn't do. Also, recommend me a good noble who has a large land and wants to sell it," he replied with a sigh, making Irene pout at him cutely.

But she didn't try to convince him and instead stated a few names of nobles who could sell their land and continued to answer his next inquiries one by one with a pitiful look, as he wasn't letting her play with snow.

Li Wei was speechless at her, but he didn't stop because it was important for him to get more information about city building and other things he should be aware of.

As their chat continued, Li Xin and the others were done with their class quests and started to check everyone's new special class skills.

For Li Xin, who had raised the tier of her Ninja class, she got a skill named Shadow Blend, which would allow her to blend into the shadow and become immune to all kinds of attacks for ten seconds.

This would only work on attacks below her level and ten levels higher than her. Of course, she must level up the skill first.

After Li Xin, it was Alice's turn to show her skill, who has raised the tier of her Assassin class and received a skill named Soul Reaping, which could directly kill anyone above ten levels.

However, this skill would only work if she performed a lethal strike against their vital points, otherwise, the skill would fail, and the MP will go waste.

Her skill was a bit overpowered, but no one felt too surprised and moved towards Elva to see her skill.

There wasn't any surprise when they discovered she had raised the tier of Elemental Archer class, but their eyes widened after seeing the description of her special class skill, Void Arrow.

This skill allowed her to ignore any defence of the foe and was lethal enough as Alice's Soul Reaping. However, the cost of MP was 1,000, with a casting time of 45 seconds, which was a lot considering the danger sense of monsters.

But no one was disappointed, as it was something useful, so they didn't care too much and turned towards Olivia to see her skill, having raised the tier of her Cleric class.

They were calm when they saw her class, but after seeing the skill, they all became dumbfounded and looked at Olivia with a little jealous expression, even Lily was the same.

If not for hiding this from Irene, they would already be shouting about it as her skill was Seraphic Wings.

As the name stated, this skill would give her wings to fly while creating a large recovery field around her, in which she could react rapidly to support her allies.

"Sister Olivia, it's cheating! You can fly now! I want a skill like this too," Lily complained in a low voice with a sulky look, and directly buried her face in the two soft mountains that lay ahead of her.

"Um, Sister Olivia, it's soft soft," Lily muttered, rubbing her face into the softness she found, making Olivia dumbfounded who don't know what to do.

"Li.. Lily, what are you doing? Please don't, it tickles," Olivia resisted with a red face as she tried to separate her, but Lily was already hugging her tightly, making it hard for her.

But she still tried to do it when suddenly, she felt the gazes of Li Xin and the others, who were looking at her with weird eyes, especially Alice who was taking few steps back.

"Sister Li, and all of you, please don't look at me like that. I am straight. Also, help me," Olivia complained with a pitiful look and teary eyes as Lily kept rubbing her face happily as if she is in haven.

Watching her like this, Li Xin felt pity and decided to help her.

"Olivia, we are just joking so don't take it seriously. Also, Lily, it's enough," she replied as she separated Lily with the help of Li Yin, making her go sad again.

But Lily didn't say anything, as she was already planning to attack at night when no one is nearby.

Olivia, who didn't know her thoughts, heaved a sigh of relief as she fixed her clothes before looking at Li Wei and Irene to see if they found out what happened just now.

But to her surprise, they were both busy talking about something.

"Let's go and ask Brother to give us snow to play," Li Xin suggested.

In response, everyone nodded and proceeded towards them.

Li Wei and Irene didn't notice their approach as they were both focused on talking. Of course, not Irene, who was looking at him with a pitiful expression, wanting to play with snow.

"Li Wei, it's enough. Don't bully me anymore. Do you want me to cry?" Irene complained as Li Wei kept asking her questions continuously.

She wanted to ignore it, but Li Wei kept creating snow when he asked the questions. Somehow, she managed to hold back, but it was too much now as her playtime was getting smaller and smaller.

So, she decided to complain, making Li Wei stunned. But before he could say anything, Li Xin and the others arrived with Olivia, who was blushing with an embarrassed expression, and Lily, who was still sad.

"Brother, why are you bullying sister-in-law? Didn't she apologize to you?" Li Xin asked with a pout as she saw Irene hugging her knees with a sad expression and heard what she just said now.

"XinXin, I am not bullying her but just asking some questions. Also, she only wants to play with snow and nothing else," Li Wei explained calmly as he observed Lily and Olivia with a puzzled look.

But before he could think and ask, Li Xin interjected.

"Brother, we also want to play with snow, so create some for us too," she requested, making Irene panicked as she wondered whether she would have enough or not.

Li Wei, however, didn't notice this and nodded.

"Okay, I will create it, but before that, let me treat you all first," he replied and took out some pastries from the item box, along with some potato chips.

They weren't from this world, but from Earth, which he bought for himself and Li Xin to eat in their free time.

He wasn't sure if anyone would like them, so he always refrained from taking them out. However, after testing almost all kinds of snacks in the city, he discovered the difference was only little, unless it was made from a high-level monster.

So, he decided to give them a taste of some food from Earth.

"Here, try these snacks. They are from Earth but are delicious," Li Wei remarked as he distributed the snacks among everyone. Even the sulky Irene accepted it with a reluctant look after watching the pink pastries.

Watching her like this, Li Wei became speechless, but he didn't care and turned towards his party with a serious expression who were also seated on the ground.

"Everyone, I have decided to adopt Lily and Olivia," he announced, making everyone shocked, especially Lily, who didn't know anything about this.
