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

Chase had a wide smile on his face after hearing Adam say that he had accepted him as not only a subordinate but also a little brother and continued eating Jannet's delicious food happily.

Although Chase was quite lacking when it came to common sense and understanding what was going on around him, as his mind had been fried after gaining the Monk Inheritance, he was becoming more aware and understanding.

Despite that, the one thing he was holding onto was his loyalty to Adam who had spared him, helped him and treated him like family without coveting what he had or asking for much in return.

When he entered combat his mind would become blank and had something similar to the Hunter's mind, but it was more like a Monk's Mind. It would allow him to not feel any fear or pain and his only aim was defeating and subduing his opponent.

Adam was finding that whatever Chase had gained was much more valuable and capable than he had thought, but that didn't mean he wanted to take it from Chase, he was merely curious about it.

There were many questions that Adam wanted to ask Chase, but before that, he wanted to spend some time with his aunt. 

The mood in the apartment was very happy and relaxed as Adam and Chase both helped clean up before the 3 of them sat in the living room area and spoke between themselves.

When Adam was asked where he had been the past few days, he answered very vaguely and didn't mention any names or anything, but he gave them a rough idea of what he had been doing.

Adam was slowly easing his aunt into knowing more about cultivation and other things as he knew that her knowing more about it wouldn't do much more to her and it allowed him to tell the truth more.

He was tired of lying to all of those that were close to him and after everything that his aunt sacrificed for him, telling her the truth was the least that he could do.

After speaking and relaxing for a few hours, Adam decided that it was time for him to get back to what he needed to do and said, "Aunt thank you for the delicious meal and if you need anything just ask, but me and Chase have some business to attend to".

"Yes, I am sure you boys are busy. I also have things to attend to and am going out to see somebody" stated Jannet as she blushed slightly.

Adam seeing her expression and from her words could guess that she was going to see a guy that she liked. 

He was happy that she was moving on and a partner was something that could make her happy and help her rebuild her life, but Adam's overprotective and paranoid nature made him worried.

Although he could act recklessly with his own life, he was sure that with the system, the Hunter's mind and the Bloodlust Characteristic, he could get himself out of most situations, but his aunt was what made him vulnerable.

Adam winked at her and smile, "When you are ready, it would be nice if you introduce him to me. But I would recommend you not to rush anything".

"Ah, I can't hide anything from those red eyes of yours. I will be careful you don't need to worry and if anything happens, I will call you" sighed his aunt as she gave him a reassuring smile and was clearly quite excited.

Adam gave his aunt some more money that he had withdrawn previously, just so that she didn't need to rely on any man to pay for her or owe anybody anything, then entered his room with Chase and closed the door behind him.

"Have you ever slept in here?" asked Adam who didn't mind if Chase did, but was surprised by how spotless his room was.

Chase nodded his head then went on to say, "I have been cleaning big bro's room every day and tried my best to follow your instructions".

Adam smiled and thanked Chase, then sat on his bed, while Chase sat at the desk and turned the chair to face Adam.

"So tell me, did you make sure to stay with my aunt all this time that I was gone?" asked Adam.

"Yes" 

"Then you must have seen who this guy that she is going out with is"

"I did see him, but I don't know his name and didn't hear anything that they spoke about. Your aunt didn't want to let me go with her, so I had to follow her from a distance and watched her, but wasn't beside her" answered Chase.

Adam was slightly disappointed that he didn't get to find out more about this guy, but after asking Chase about his appearance and how happy his aunt was around him, he calmed down and it seemed as though he was a nice guy.

After receiving all the answers that he needed about what his aunt had been up to, Adam asked, "Alright that is good, but onto you. What have you been up to these past few days that I have been gone? And how have you progressed so much?".

Chase smiled, clearly enjoying Adam's praise and answered, "I have been cultivating almost all the time that I had free. Your aunt wouldn't leave much and would either be cooking, cleaning or in her room. When she would leave I would go with her like I said, but I still had most of the time to myself and began to cultivate internally".

"What cultivation method did you use? Was it one that you got from the Monk Inheritance" asked Adam curiously.

"Well before I answer that and before it makes sense to you, I need to explain to you how the Monk Inheritance works" stated Chase who was comfortable and trusting enough in Adam to tell him almost all of his secrets.
