Chapter 23: Li Xin's Power Up
Inside the Starmoon Inn's cafeteria, Li Wei sat at a table with everyone while waiting for the waitress to arrive, checking his Quest completion rewards from the Adventures Guild and the coins he got from selling the monster's.
**
Dungeon Clear Quest Reward: 8000 coins
Elemental Slimes (level 11): 180 | 180×150 = 27000 coins
Vinecreepers (level 12): 36 | 36×180 = 6480 coins
Floral Pyrovine (level 12): 1 | 1× 30000 = 30000 coins
Total = 71480 coins
Li Wei: 17870×10= 178700 coins | Li Xin: 17870 coins
Alice: 17870 coins | Elva: 17870 coins
**
"We didn't really get many coins for slimes and plant monsters. Only the dungeon boss gave a lot because it was a mutated plant monster with a fire attribute," Li Wei said, looking at the coins he received for selling them.
Elva, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him. "Of course, we won't get much because they are only useful on farms to grow wheat and veggies. Otherwise, they would be useless," she said, shrugging her shoulders.
She had become more familiar with them after a whole day of fighting together.
A waitress approached their table to take their orders. "What would you like to eat?" she asked, showing the menu.
Alice and Elva both took the menu hurriedly. "I will take Roast Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Pork Chops with Apple Sauce, Elven-Style Mushroom Risotto, Enchanted Forest Pasta with Faerie Herbs, and this, this, and this one also..." Alice said, ordering many dishes, which left the waitress stunned.
Her amazement grew when she heard Elva's order, "I will take Vegetable Stir-Fry, T-bone Steak with Baked Potato, Beef Pot Roast, and this, this..."
Li Wei and Li Xin were also surprised by their extensive orders.
"Just order slowly; no one is going to take it from you," Li Wei said, smiling as they continued to search for items on the menu. He thought, 'They are really different from when we first met.'
He then looked at Li Xin, saying, "XinXin, you can order too. Don't worry about overeating; our levels are high, and we can eat much more." Eating more is a good thing for adventurers.
"Mhm," Li Xin nodded and placed her order for a few dishes.
Soon, the dishes were served, and they began to eat.
Li Wei took a bite of his pizza, "What are your plans for tomorrow?" He asked looking at them.
Elva, while enjoying her steak, answered, "We don't have any plans. What about you?" She asked and slurped her soup.
"We are going to do a quest again tomorrow. It would be good if you also joined it, or I will have to find other party members," he said, looking at both of them.
Alice hurriedly finished the rice in her mouth. "We are going to stay here for about a month or two. It would be good if we partied together," she said, eating again in large amounts.
"Okay, that's no problem then," Li Wei agreed. He wanted to earn money, and more importantly, they are both good and supportive when needed he didn't want a trouble to find other members.
After they finished their meals, they returned to their rooms. Both Alice and Elva had also booked rooms here, and they were just beside them.
"So, you guys really live beside us. But how did you get a room before you came here?" Li Wei asked, a little puzzled.
Elva looked at him. "There is a magic communication tool. With that, we can inform ahead and also pay for the rent. Our family already booked a few rooms when they heard the announcement of the merging of the worlds, making it easy for us," she explained.
"So there is something like this. Then you should rest. Good night," Li Wei said as he entered the room with Li Xin.
"Good Night," Elva also greeted and entered their room together.
After coming inside, Alice looked at Elva.
"What do you think they will do, those kinds of things?" She asked with a blushing face when she suddenly remembered how he hugged her waist and felt hot sensation of his hands.
Elva also blushed a little. "Don't think weird things. I have noticed that their relationship isn't like that," she said.
Alice tilted her head cutely. "Really?, I wanted to ask few questions to sister Li but it's a pity," She said with a little disappointment in her eyes.
Elva glared at her. "You really are something. Just go to sleep and don't think weird things," she said with a scolding tone, and appeard behind her grabbing her tail again.
"Elvaaa!!" Alice screamed and ran behind her to catch her.
As they both continued their game, Li Wei and Li Xin lay on the bed after taking a bath but they could still hear the voices of Elva and Alice, who were shouting loudly.
Hearing that they were still playing with each other, Li Wei let out a smile and suddenly remembered the feeling of Alice's soft waist, making his hand quiver a little.
Li Xin looked at him and saw his hand quivering. "Brother, was it soft?" she asked.
Li Wei, who was busy imagining the soft feeling, answered her without thinking too much.
"Yes, it was," he said, and suddenly became stiff, remembering what he did.
'Damn, I'm dead,' he screamed in his mind, looking at Li Xin, who was also looking at him with a cold expression.
She glared at him with a frosty expression. "So you were really thinking about Alice's waist, huh?" she asked, with a cold smile.
Li Wei backed up a little.
"Wait, XinXin, don't blame your brother. It was an accident, okay?" he said hurriedly, trying to dissolve the misunderstanding.
It was the sounds of them that led him to think that, otherwise, he wouldn't have.
Li Xin glared at him. "Humph, I know that it was an accident, but I was just worried that you're thinking with lust. After all, you do read those kinds of novels and comics from time to time," she said in a venomous tone.
"How...how did you know that?!" Li Wei asked. He had hidden those kinds of novels and comics in a certain place, so he wondered how she found out.
Li Xin didn't answer.
"Humph, you better not think with lust, or it will definitely not end up well for you," she said in a threatening voice and turned her head towards the other side, no longer bothering him.
Li Wei looked at her back with a troubled smile.
'It's really weird that she knows about what I'm doing, but what should I do about our future?' he thought and looked at the wooden ceiling in silence.
He had never considered their relationship because on Earth, they lived happily in a small house together, and he didn't think it would change.
Finally, he shook his head softly.
'Let's go on like this as long as she is happy,' he thought and looked at her back with a loving smile.
They both loved each other, but being step-siblings prevented them from crossing certain boundaries and they also never thought about this much.
***
The next morning, when Li Wei opened his eyes, he noticed he was being hugged by Li Xin, who was sleeping cutely and drooling with good dreams.
Without moving, he decided to just watch silently, not wanting to wake her up.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Xin moved a little. "Nhnn," she let out a cute sound as she opened her sleepy eyes and found Li Wei looking at her with a smile.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" she said, wiping her drool on his clothes with sleepy eyes.
Li Wei smiled wryly at her. "Why should I wake you up? It's too early; see, the sun hasn't even risen yet," he said, sitting up from the lying position.
"Nn," she let out a cute sound again. "But what if we are late and make Alice and Elva wait?" she said with a grumpy tone.
Li Wei ignored it and stretched her cheeks.
"They must still be sleeping. After all, they were bickering and fighting each other the whole night," he said with an amused expression. If the inn lady hadn't scolded them to sleep, they might still be bickering and bothering others.
The inn have different types of room from normal to luxurious. The one they were in was a normal and didn't have soundproofing in their room.
But as long as they kept their voices low, it wouldn't disturb others, unlike Elva and Alice, who were literally shouting.
Li Xin also smiled when she heard him. "I can imagine Elva trying to play with her like a cat," she said, her imagination running wild.
"Okay, we should get ready," Li Wei said, stopping her from imagining weird things and asking her to prepare. Who knows what else she might imagine.
After getting ready, she looked at him. "Brother, shouldn't we go now?" she asked, looking at him as he sat on the bed.
Li Wei shook his head. "First, let's increase your attributes. Here are 500,000 coins. With that, you can buy 500 attributes. Just distribute them equally and use all the remaining on intelligence," he said, sending her 500,000 coins.
Li Xin nodded. "But, brother, what if Alice and Elva ask about this, and other people might also notice it?" she said because she didn't have anything to hide her status if it were to be analyzed.
Li Wei shook his head with a smile. "I also thought about that, but there are restrictions inside the city that do not allow you to use Analyse Eye on people. Additionally, there are artifacts that can block Analyse Eye. That's why no one bothers to check others. The artifact costs 100,000, and it can block Analyse Eye up to level 10. People in this world don't lack money, so Analyse Eye has become almost useless, except for the fact that monsters can't create the artifact and it is still usable on them," he explained to her.
This was also the reason he wasn't worried about his status being seen by others, as no one would check someone unknown like him.
Li Xin nodded with an understanding expression. "Then I should increase my attributes," she said and immediately used the coins to buy AP.

"I am done, brother," she said after increasing the attributes.
Li Wei nodded. "There is an unknown attribute limit, but you don't have to worry as it wouldn't be much. Let's go; we should earn more money and level up," he said when he heard a knock on their door.
*Knock, knock.*
Alice's voice was heard from behind the door. "Brother Li, sister Li, we are ready."
"Let's go; they have come already," he said with a smile, heading out with Li Xin.
When he opened the door, both Alice and Elva were waiting. "Let's go; we should go to the Adventurers Guild to see if there are any dungeon quests. If not, we will take a wild quest," he said, looking at them.
"Okay," they both nodded, and everyone headed to the guild.
Inside the Adventurers Guild, Li Wei and the others looked at the quest board.
"There are no dungeon quests, but we can level up if we head to the plains," he said, looking at the quest information.

Quest: Blood Wolf Hunt
Objective: Kill all the Blood Wolves and their leader.
Level: 15
Difficulty: E+ | Time Limit: 5 days
Rewards: 400,000 coins | Failure Penalty: 40,000 coins
–––
"What do you think about this quest? The Blood Wolf leader will probably be strong, and the other wolves will be around level 15," he asked, looking at the quest.
All people in this worlds can fight above their levels, especially if they are in a party and have enough money to raise their attributes.
Even though there is an attribute limit, it depends on themselves how high it is. With a long history with the system, their attribute limits increase automatically because of their magic aura making them more stronger than the earthlings.
Alice and Elva nodded. "Yes, we can take it, but we first have to buy some gear and increase our attributes," Alice said, looking at him.
Li Wei agreed. "I also want to buy some gear. Let's go. I know a good shop," he said with a smile, remembering the little girl Emily.
