In the tenth year, Luo Hao's mother passed away, and that same year his wife gave birth to a son.
....
Forty-five years later, Luo Hao is seventy years old this year, and today is his seventieth birthday.
The whole Liu mansion is decorated with red lanterns and paintings, and people dressed in fine clothes constantly enter carrying gifts for the Liu family.
Over the decades, Luo Hao had not only focused on his business. In his free time, he had also learned martial arts from the guards who protected his home.
With the growth of his descendants and the change of titles from Liu patriarch to kind-hearted Liu elder, the reputation of the Liu family became as strong as Luo Hao's own body.
He became tough and resilient, and everyone in the town knew the Liu patriarch.
Now as a seventy-year-old man, Luo Hao was still full of energy and vitality, while other seventy-year-olds might need a cane just to walk.
But Luo Hao walked with strength and sharpness in his eyes.
As he looked at his descendants kneeling before him to offer birthday wishes, the white-haired Luo Hao nodded slightly.
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
One night, after Luo Hao had fallen asleep to the sound of the night watchman's drum, he heard a crisp notification sound in his mind.
["[Little Tiger] Simulation ends."]
["Settling accounts..."]
Upon hearing the prompt from the system, Luo Hao immediately felt a sense of fuzziness in his consciousness. When he regained his senses, he saw Xiao Ying, who was lying next to him, already fast asleep.
Before Luo Hao could even think, the voice of the system sounded again in his mind.
[The host's life should have been ordinary, but thanks to the host's efforts, it has changed the trajectory of many people's lives and brought about changes to people who were originally unrelated to the host.]
[The host's reputation is well-known in a small town and is highly praised by the local residents.]
[The host has a large and prosperous family, and is a solid pillar in the eyes of their relatives.]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully changing the life of a farmer through their own efforts.]
[Final evaluation: SS.]
[Final score: 1000 points.]
[The system store has been activated!]
Looking at the system panel in his subconscious mind, Luo Hao also regained his senses. Decades of simulated life made Luo Hao feel a little dazed at first.
But upon seeing the final score, a slight smile couldn't help but appear on Luo Hao's lips.
[Points can be consumed by the host to extract items, techniques, talents, skills, and bloodlines encountered by the host in the simulated world.]
Just as Luo Hao was feeling happy in his heart, the voice of the system sounded once again.
Luo Hao couldn't help but feel happy again in his heart. Although his background was very low in the "Little Tiger" world, he had become a wealthy businessman through his own efforts, and had also obtained some good things by chance.
Thinking of this, Luo Hao immediately opened the system store.
[Solid wood furniture: 10 points]
[High-quality sandalwood: 10 points]
[Physical enhancement: 50 points]
.....
[Mastery of Body-Refining Fist: Price 100 points]
[Peak Period Qi and Blood: Price 150 Points]
Looking at the hundreds of options in the store, Luo Hao finally found only three things.
[Mastery of Body-Refining Fist: Price 100 points]
[Peak Period Qi and Blood: Price 150 Points]
[Ten taels of silver: Price 20 Points.]
After careful consideration, Luo Hao chose these three items.
In the world of "Little Tiger", perhaps Luo Hao's biggest gain was the Body-Refining Fist he obtained from a fallen guard from a declining family.
Although the Body Refining Fist did not have much killing power, even in the world of martial arts, it was the most basic form of boxing.
Fortunately, it was practical, and for a martial artist like Luo Hao, he had a slight longing for it.
Luo Hao had witnessed the power of the Body Refining Fist before.
After grinding the skin and refining the bones, when the Body Refining Fist was fully developed, not only did it increase his physical strength and overall fitness, but it also had the ability to smash rocks with a single punch. Luo Hao knew from experience that when he mastered the Body Refining Fist, his fist felt like a large boulder being thrown at someone.
With one strike, bones could be shattered.
Although the cultivation of Qi and blood could not immediately make one's strength stronger, it was actually the foundation of Luo Hao's martial arts training.
Although he was proficient in the Body Refining Fist, it was only a matter of using the technique and muscle memory.
With the peak of Qi and blood, Luo Hao's body would undergo significant changes in a short period of time. He did not need to buy a lot of things to enhance his Qi and blood just to prepare for the Body Refining Fist.
Having experienced a complete lifetime, Luo Hao deeply understands the phrase "human nature is treacherous". He is currently not the same as his past self and wants to change his current life. Self-improvement is the most important thing.
Ten taels of silver are already a huge sum of money for Luo Hao. He cannot afford to take more because if certain malicious people find out, it could bring trouble to him and Xiao Ying instead.
Although the situation is improving, Luo Hao still believes that caution is always necessary.
Luo Hao knows that he will attract attention if he spends too much money. His goal for now is to improve his living conditions by doing small business with Xiao Ying.
When his body and fists become stronger, he can then think about the future.
"Ding! Exchange successfully completed for the host!"
"A total of 270 points were consumed!"
As the system's prompt sounded, Luo Hao felt a warm current flowing throughout his body. He couldn't help but moan softly as the current flowed through him.
At the same time, he felt his Qi and strength rapidly increasing.
As the energy flow gradually dissipated within his body, Luo Hao felt that his strength had significantly improved.
The cold wind blowing through the holes in the house didn't feel as cold as before.
