While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 129 - Unlucky Coincidence



Adam had stayed out of trouble over the past month, but Jaspal and Elizabeth had warned him that they had heard that there were multiple police investigations into a hooded person that killed a hospital director and had been spotted at many other crime scenes.

He was confident in his speed and being able to get away from any ordinary police officers that weren't cultivators, but at close range, he wasn't confident in his ability to dodge a bullet and he also wasn't sure where he would come across a cultivator, so knew that he had to be careful.

​​

Adam drove his motorbike back to his apartment building, then after parking in the parking lot, entered his apartment and went straight into the shower with his sweaty body.

Upon entering he was greeted with the delicious smell of food that his aunt had prepared knowing that he would be back on that day, as it was a Sunday.

After having a long shower and changing into a fresh set of clothes, Adam was feeling good and felt that his body was full of power and energy.

"How was your week?" asked his aunt as he joined her at the table.

"It was busy, but I have completed what I needed to do. So I won't need to leave for the next few days, and will be staying here"

Hearing that his aunt had a wide smile and was glad that Adam would be staying with her.

"Great, you have been working too much lately,"

She didn't know anything about what Adam was doing and Adam never seemed tired or stressed, but she knew that nothing was easy in life and he must have been working hard.

"Adam, something feels a bit different about you. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it feels like you have changed slightly" said his aunt as she looked closely at him trying to put a finger on why he felt different.

Adam didn't think that it would be that obvious to ordinary people, but he was using his Charm Skill to lower the amount of his Charisma that was activated to 3 points, which was the average amount of Charisma that a person had, according to the system.

"I feel fine, I'm not sure what you're talking about" replied Adam as he began eating and changed the subject.

Adam was surprised to hear that his aunt noticed something different about him and was curious to see what her stats were like, so used the Status Peerin Feature on her.

Jannet Green

HP: 110 / 110

Strength: 8

Speed: 9

Intelligence: 12

Resistance: 8

Wisdom: 5

Charisma: 3

Looking at her status it seemed ordinary and her slightly above average health was to be expected after he gave her the B Rank Mortal HP Recovery Pill, but her intelligence just like his before he began cultivating, was slightly above that of an ordinary person.

With that, she was able to sense the small changes in Adam's aura, Charisma and body, but it was still too low for her to gauge anything substantial and she didn't know what she was sensing anyway.

Adam wanted to make sure his aunt was as far away from cultivation as he could, and from what he had heard from Elizabeth and Jaspal, there was conflict between the Maxwell Family and the Lin Family and it seemed as though the Lin Family was aiming to take over their territory.

Although they wouldn't fight in public and ordinary people wouldn't be affected by the conflict between them and they wouldn't even realise if the territory was taken over, most cultivators in Brooklyn would be caught up in the crossfire.

You would either need to side with one of the large families, or be squashed during their battles.

Adam didn't want to get involved in the conflict, but with Elizabeth having an organisation that had cultivators and with him living in a building owned by the Maxwell Family, he knew it was highly likely that he would somehow be dragged into the conflict.

However, even if he was, Adam was confident in his power, especially his speed that was equivalent to that of a mid rank 8, which was very high when compared to the rest of his body.

And even if he was pushed to his limits and forced into a difficult situation, he could always use his summons, his trump cards and the Sabre that he had stolen from Angelo, which was still stored within his inventory.

"Adam, I was planning to visit the new Chinatown that they built and are continuing to build in Brooklyn, would you like to go with me," asked his aunt.

Hearing that Adam nearly choked on his food and it was as if fate was toying with him.

The place that he wanted to avoid most, was coming directly to him.

Seeing Adam choking his food, his aunt quickly filled up a glass with water.

"Are you alright Adam? here is some water"

"Yes I'm fine, I was just surprised" answered Adam as he drank some water and calmed down.

[What an unlucky coincidence, but as long as I completely retract my aura and do not reveal myself as a cultivator, I should be fine. I am merely an ordinary youth visiting Chinatown with his aunt who is of Chinese descent] thought Adam to himself confidently.

"If you don't want to go, it is alright, I can go alone" stated his aunt, not wanting to disturb Adam if he had something else to do or force him into something he didn't want to do.

She knew that Adam would spend Sundays with her and was touched by him reserving a day of the week to spend mostly with her, and planned to visit Chinatown with him, ignorant to what was going on between the large cultivation families of New York.

"No, I would love to go. I will sort something out this morning, then we can go in the afternoon" decided Adam, seeing that his aunt really wanted to go.
