Just as the Old Granny gave the order, a commotion rang out, and Fang Xingjian's third uncle, Fang Yueming, walked in with a smile. "Mother, there's no need to shout. Look, aren't I here now? Sigh, I was so busy last night. Let's see if there's anything to eat. "
Second Aunt laughed coldly in her heart, 'What else can he be busy with? I think he must have stayed at the casino the entire night and didn't return home.'
The Old Granny grabbed her chopsticks and slapped away Fang Xingjian's hand, which was reaching toward the dining table. "How many times have I told you that we can only start eating when everyone is here? Don't you have any manners?"
"Mother, I'm hungry," Third Uncle said, feeling wronged.
"You …" Looking at her youngest son whom she doted on the most, although the Old Granny's heart softened, she still said sternly, "Bear with it a little longer. We'll be eating soon."
As she spoke, Third Aunt had already walked in with a well-built four-year-old child in her arms. When the Old Granny saw this grandson of hers, the icy expression on her face melted in an instant, revealing a rare gentle smile. In this family, Third Uncle's family was the one the Old Granny doted on the most.
Third Aunt smiled as well. When she saw Third Uncle, who looked drowsy and had dark circles under his eyes, she gave him a fierce kick. Fang Xingjian knew that Third Aunt was also a ruthless character. Not only did she come from a military faction, but she was also shrewd and harsh. She was also very good at getting on people's good graces. Not only Third Uncle, but even the Old Granny liked her very much. Moreover, after giving birth to a grandson four years ago, Third Uncle's family was now even more doted on by the Old Granny.
When Second Aunt saw this scene, she became even more displeased. She glared at Second Uncle fiercely, and the latter could only smile foolishly.
The Old Granny said calmly, "Let's start eating."
In an instant, maids walked in like flowing water and started serving bowls and chopsticks, opening the lids of various utensils, and pouring fruit juices and wine.
With the Old Granny's words, the entire dining table came alive. Fang Xingjian carefully ate the food in front of him, while Second Uncle occasionally placed food on his wife's plate.
Third Uncle eagerly grabbed a chicken drumstick and started gnawing on it. Third Aunt glared at him angrily.
Everyone ate in an orderly and quiet manner. No one dared to say a word, because this was the rule set by the old lady. No talking while eating, no talking while sleeping.
Unlike Fang Xingjian, who was only at Level 9, the old lady had long since reached Level 30. She did not have high requirements for food and would only eat a few mouthfuls. Looking at her grandson, whose lips were dripping with grease, she smiled and picked up a tissue to wipe the grease from the corner of her grandson's mouth. Her face was full of kindness, and there was no sign of the frosty look from before.
"Eat slowly. You have to eat like you're eating."
Fang Xingchen, who was four years old, had been taught the rules of various great clans from a young age. He was not like a child from an ordinary family. Right now, he looked like a little adult, sitting up straight and picking food for himself. His every action was well-behaved and not biased.
If it could be said that the old lady doted on Third Uncle and Third Aunt's family the most, disliking Second Aunt and hating Second Uncle for being useless, then for some unknown reason, she detested Fang Xingjian, this grandson of hers.
Fang Xingjian was aware of this as well. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, he just sat quietly at the side, eating the few bowls of food in front of him. He did not even know how to stand up and pick food for himself.
After more than twenty minutes, everyone was almost done eating. The maidservant cleared away the bowls and chopsticks while pushing a big bowl of soup over. The moment they saw the soup, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, as well as Third Uncle and Third Aunt, all revealed looks of anticipation.
This soup was a super ferocious beast of level 25 and above, the Abyss Nine-Headed Bird, which had been captured by the military in the Other World. It was then transported to Demonic City, where it was brewed using the heart of the Nine-Headed Bird as the main ingredient, along with 81 types of expensive medicinal herbs. The Nine-Headed Bird's soup was brewed into the Nine Blood Spirit Changing Soup.
After drinking this soup, it was not as simple as filling one's stomach. It could also cleanse one's muscles and bones, replenish one's vital energy and blood, cleanse one's marrows and tendons, and improve one's physique. It could greatly increase the effects of ordinary people's cultivation.
Even with the Fang Clan's financial resources, they could only afford to drink a small bowl every day during lunch.
Immediately, the maidservant served the soup to everyone, and everyone eagerly drank it.
"Xingchen, Granny will give you this bowl too." The old lady looked at her grandson gulping down the soup in big mouthfuls, seeming to be happier than if she was drinking it herself.
The four-year-old Fang Xingchen said politely, "One bowl is enough for me. Granny, you have to attend to many affairs every day and are the pillar of the Fang Clan. This bowl of Nine Blood Spirit Changing Soup should be left to you."
The old lady smiled and said, "It's fine. This soup is not essential to me since a long time ago. You're still growing, so drink it yourself."
"Thank you, Granny, for your reward." Fang Xingchen raised his small hand and respectfully received the bowl of soup.
On the other side, Fang Xingjian was naturally the last to be served the soup. Looking at the mysterious soup that resembled a tiger's soul in the bowl, his throat could not help but tremble.
Drinking this bowl of soup was a great supplement to his vital energy, blood, muscles, and muscles. This was also one of the benefits of being born in a large clan.
He could not wait to finish the entire bowl of Nine Blood Spirit Changing Soup. He felt a warm and harmonious feeling throughout his body, as if there was a warm current flowing around his body, continuously cleansing and tempering his physical body. Fang Xingjian sniffed the bowl of soup, as if he had not had enough, and looked at Fang Xingchen with an envious expression.
However, he knew that he could not be envious of the old lady's love for Fang Xingchen.
After eating and drinking, the servants kept the cutlery away and started to serve tea and snacks. Everyone knew that this was the time when the old lady would discuss the matters of the clan and test them on their homework.
Taking a sip of tea, the old lady said, "Recently, there hasn't been any problems with the food and clothing at home, right?"
Second aunt quickly stood up. She had always been in charge of the food, clothing, and money at home. She said, "It's basically enough. Mother, do you want to take a look at the accounts? "
"Mmm, as long as it's enough. I won't be taking a look at the accounts. "The old lady glanced at her expression and asked," Is there anything else? "
Second aunt said proudly, "Mother, Yue He (Second Uncle) has been working hard on his cultivation recently and has finally reached level 19. He's already preparing to go through the second transition."
Based on mankind's current research, a person could level up from level 1 to 30. However, from level 9 to 10, from level 19 to 20, and from level 29 to 30, there would be a checkpoint for each of them. One would only be able to continue to level up after going through a job transition.
Naturally, the Other World had a method of job transitions that had been passed down since ancient times. Although there was no such method on Earth, with the research of various countries' scientists and the help of the Other World's forces, they had invented a method of extracting the essence of ferocious beasts and drawing magic prints on the human body to undergo job transitions.
From the first job transition, to the second job transition, all the way to the Divine level at level 29 and the third job transition at level 30, not only would one gain extraordinary power, they would also gain job growth.
For example, before the first job transition, for every level below level 9, ordinary people would only gain an increase of one free attribute point.
However, after the first job transition, from level 9 to level 19, with every level up, even the worst job would gain an increase of one point in strength and one point in agility, as well as one free attribute point.
The stronger the job transition, the more extraordinary power one would gain, and the higher the job growth would be. It would be very difficult to win against a person with a difference of one level, and with a difference of two levels, the chances of winning would be zero. With a difference of three levels, it would be a crushing victory.
Of course, there were also exceptions. For example, if one had outstanding talent, even if their level was not as high as the other party, they would be able to challenge those of a higher level after learning more powerful techniques and obtaining more powerful specialties.
Attributes, techniques, specialties. These were the three main factors that determined a person's battle prowess.
Hearing Second Aunt's words and seeing her smug expression, Third Aunt laughed coldly in her heart and interrupted, "Yo, Second Brother is going to go through the second job transition so soon? Don't tell me that you get experience from killing monsters? "
Leveling up required experience, and there were three ways to gain experience. 1. Kill ferocious beasts or humans. 2. Read or learn. 3. Train one's skills or physical body.
Killing monsters was very difficult for others, but for a great clan like the Fang Clan, they could totally buy a bunch of dying ferocious beasts to kill and quickly level up.
However, such levels were usually considered to be the weakest amongst those of the same level. It was because they did not have high attributes, many techniques, and specialties like those who had relied on learning, training, and training to level up.
This was also something that Fang Clan's Old Granny did not like.
Hearing Third Aunt's words, Second Aunt's brows furrowed as anger rose in her heart. However, seeing Old Granny's slight frown, she immediately explained, "That's not true. Yuehe (Second Uncle) has been working very hard in his training recently. I got my elder brother to specially guide him on the path of saber arts, and he has improved very quickly. That's why he's reached level 19."
Hearing that, Old Granny nodded, "I've heard of Immortal Slaying Saber (Second Aunt's elder brother)'s name for a long time. Second Brother, this is a rare opportunity. You must learn from him."
"I understand."
Seeing how obedient Fang Xingjian was, Old Granny said in satisfaction, "You're my son, and also the Fang Clan's Second Master. Since you're going to go through the second job transition, the clan will naturally help you. "What are your plans?"
Second Uncle said carefully, "I'm planning to choose between the Blood Abyss Sovereign and the Calamity Envoy."
"Mmm, both are not bad. However, both of them will cost quite a lot of money, right?" Old Granny said, "I'll get someone to transfer 50 million to you later. You can choose whichever magic prints you want for the job transition."
Hearing this, Second Aunt and Second Uncle's faces were filled with surprise, and they thanked her profusely. Third Uncle looked indifferent, but Third Aunt's face was a little gloomy, and she looked very unhappy.
Second Aunt glanced at Third Aunt complacently, and suddenly asked, "Oh, right. Sister, I see that Third Brother has been going out early and coming back late recently. He must have been working very hard in his training. Furthermore, I've personally invited two masters to guide him. He must have improved very quickly, and he should be going through the second job transition soon."
Third Aunt naturally knew what kind of person her husband was. Even though her mother-in-law had invited military instructors to guide him, this guy was still a good-for-nothing. She would already be thanking the heavens if he did not go to the gambling dens every night, let alone training.
Even though he was almost thirty years old, he was only at level 14.
Hearing what Fang Xingjian said, Third Aunt could only smile with an ugly expression, "Not yet, how could he be so fast? Yueming (Third Uncle) is planning to consolidate his skills … "
Following that, Old Granny talked about some other things. She tested Second Uncle and Third Uncle's homework, and then commented on them. Naturally, Second Aunt felt that she had the upper hand, and she looked very pleased. Third Aunt was exasperated, hating her husband for being useless.
