Chapter 18 - 3 Days Later
3 days passed in the blink of an eye.
Adam was busy the whole day and would spend the entire time in the dungeon hunting snow hares and feeding the claws to strengthen his Leporidae Summon.
During the day he would help Sarah as they developed their business and company together and would spend the rest of the time making the most of his memory by learning as much information as he could and was also researching about real estate.
In the three nights of consistent hunting, he had reached LVL 5 and spent his stat point on MP.
Waking up in his bed, Adam was happy with his progress and felt the past few days had been very productive.

He was happy with the state he was in, but the thought of there being other cultivators scared him and he decided that the next time he went into the dungeon he would explore and find more powerful and new beasts instead of staying in an area he knew was safe and hunting the same beasts.
He felt that his mind was working so much faster than it used to, and the difference the system had on him was becoming more obviously without looking at his stats and felt that his body was lighter and felt much better.
Although for most stats he was only 150% better than an average peak human, it was still an incredible amount and had a massive effect and was obvious on his body.
Looking in his mirror, he was chiselled and with his glimmering red eyes and slick tied back black hair; he thought he was quite handsome.
Wearing a new set of the same plain black tracksuit and trainers and placing the old ones in the laundry, Adam walked out of his room yawning.
"Good morning Adam, I have been thinking about what we were talking about and I think I have it," energetically said Sarah.
Ever since she has had the opportunity to make her business from Adam and after he paid for her father's medical bills, she has been extremely happy and energetic.
"What have you decided," he asked nonchalantly as he sat down on the table that was full of breakfast that Sarah had already made.
They had already gotten past the awkwardness of living with each other, and Adam was too busy to pay attention to her.
"The AS Developers and Real Estate," she announced.
"Or can be abbreviated to ASDARE," she added proudly.
"Quite simple and direct, not bad. If you like it you can use it and I have prepared the money that you had asked for," he said not really caring about specifics.
"Ever since you left, you have been so calm and emotionless, and now have red eyes. Maybe you are possessed" she commented jokingly, knowing that he was still the same kind Adam that she had spent most of her entire high school life with.
Adam just chuckled to himself thinking about the Dungeon system and how she was technically correct.
"Well I have filled all the paperwork and we can use your apartment as the temporary office until we start making a profit and we open an office," she stated with a wry guilty smile.
"You have already deposited the 10 thousand I gave you, now I can give you the rest of the 50,000 you requested for you to follow your plan and we shall aim to make money within a few weeks to a few months at most, so we can both rely on it to live off" he stated.
[System exchange 4000 gold and hopefully this will be the last gold to dollar exchange]
{Ding, 40,000 dollars had been deposited into your account}
"Yes, that is more than possible if we follow my plan. but if you can make so much money so quickly, why do you still want to open a company with me" she asked baffled by Adam's logic.
"Well, I am placing a bet on you and I have quit my job and I just want to relax at home and work on our company," he answered while scratching his head.
"What" she exclaimed in shock.
"Why would you quit such a high paying job, that you could do from home" she screamed.
Sarah still believed he worked from his computer as an analyst and doing calculations for a company of some sort, but would never have imagined he gained it by looting gold from beasts he would kill in his sleep in a dungeon.
"Please calm down, the company was falling into bankruptcy and the wage was lowering which was why I was paid to leave," he said making up an excuse on the spot quickly.
Hearing this she calmed down and it made sense to her why he could get so much money in a short amount of time.
"What you have done for me will not be forgotten my entire life and on the contract, you have 51% of the shares to show my sincerity," she said gratefully.
"How many times have I told you, I was merely helping out a best friend who was in a similar situation to me," he remarked, not really caring about the money as long as he had enough to live.
"Now let's eat," he said stopping her from continuing her prayers of thanks.
Adam realised that he could last much longer without getting hungry, but he also found that he could eat so much more and if he was hungry he would eat unimaginable amounts of food.
"Ah, thanks for the food," he thanked as he lay back in his chair after he finished his food.
Sarah knew about his appetite and prepared an enormous breakfast, enough to feed 6 people, but it was only just about enough for both of them.
"I can't wait for me, you, Cole and Emma to reunite at the high school reunion in 4 days and seeing how much you have changed. They won't recognise you and it will be so funny to see their reaction," she imagined as she began to laugh at the young man in front of her.
"Yeah it will be a really good time and I haven't seen Cole and Emma since I had to leave," he said looking forward to meeting the rest of his good friends, especially Cole.
"About that what are you going to wear when we go," she asked seeing that he wore the same clothing every day, even though he had many sets that he would change between each day.
"What do you think, I am going to wear the only set of clothes I have," he answered still thinking that being comfortable beats looks when it comes to clothing.
"No you are going to wear something nice and smart" she refuted.
"Let's go shopping" she exclaimed.
Hearing this Adam slapped his forehead in regret.
"What have I got myself into" he mumbled.
