Since he discovered that he could train more and make wool, their financial conditions changed.
They didn't even have a working electric oven, or even a microwave since his mother almost blew it up by accidentally putting something with aluminum foil in the microwave.
The chairs and table were old and worn out.
Luan, without consulting his mother, replaced everything, throwing the old things away.
"It's a waste of money, son." That's what she said when she saw the change.
But he noticed in her eyes that deep down she was excited about it.
Honestly, everyone wants to have a better life, his mother was no different.
However, with their conditions improving, she once again thought about her daughter.
"If only Moly were here to see this..." She murmured these words with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Mom, how about this?" Luan said: "I'm managing to make some money with the wool I create. As soon as I manage to save a good amount, we can take Moly to a better hospital, what do you think?"
"That would be great! But..." She didn't continue – even though more hopeful this time – She hesitated.
"It's okay, Moly is my sister." He said, punching his chest: "I want to help her too!"
"You're such a good brother." She said, hugging him back.
...
The next morning, Luan went out to sell wool.
He thought about buying a car, but went against the idea.
'I can do that later.' He thought.
It wasn't anything urgent.
He just didn't like having to wait every time he made a ride-hailing app order. It left a bad taste in his mouth every time a ride-hailing driver simply canceled the ride after he had waited more than 10 minutes.
If you're not going to come, why accept it in the first place?
Suddenly, a silver BMW passed very close to him.
His eyes followed the car, but without any attachment.
BMW was a car he longed for even in his dreams.
But, without the means to buy or even maintain it.
However, seeing one now, even being the new release, he didn't feel the same longing. He simply thought it was beautiful, and that's it.
This wasn't the only change. Even in relation to houses.
Before, he wanted to live in a mansion, but now not so much.
Not that he didn't want better conditions, he simply felt that sooner or later he could have all of this.
Maybe the simple fact of it being within his reach made him change without realizing...
He saw firsthand what it was like to be Lv2.
'It wouldn't be a bad idea to launch my own clothing brand...' He thought.
Shaking his head, he continued waiting for the ride-hailing driver. This time, this one didn't cancel and there were only 2 minutes left to arrive.

Back home, Luan saw a note hanging on the refrigerator magnet.
It was a note from his mother saying that she went to work and if he was hungry, there was food in the fridge, he just needed to heat it up.
Opening the fridge, he took the plate of food with rice, beans, french fries, tomato and lettuce salad and two fried steaks.
After heating it in the microwave, he ate.
In his room after brushing his teeth, Luan lay down on the bed, then entered the Book of a Thousand Lives.
...
At the instant he reappeared, there was a moment of 'delay', but he came back to himself and entered the house with Catharina.
"Let's celebrate!" Catharina said: "This time, I'm the one who's going to prepare everything, okay?"
Smiling, he replied: "Right, I'm looking forward to it."
"Mm, you can stay~!" She replied full of energy.
Unlike her, Luan preferred meat to sweets.
Yesterday itself they managed to buy five kilos of Lv2 bird meat.
Catharina intended to make the 3 kilos that were left.
She understood better than anyone how much the appetite increases with the advancement of the level.
Besides Lv2 bird meat, she also intended to make other things.
In summary, she wanted to make a complete banquet.
On the sofa, Luan didn't stay idle. Now that he was Lv2, he wanted to test his limit, creating clothes for himself and for Catharina.
The threads became more resistant, obviously, even the thinnest threads, could support kilos, even tons depending on the quality he wished to create.
'With this, I can literally create armors made of wool...' He was incredulous with this revelation.
And, it wouldn't be any armor, it would be something light and comfortable, easy to use and move.
Honestly, he was starting to see his talent with new eyes.
'Also I should consider using bow and arrow.'
It became clear, crystal clear that now he could afford the luxury of coating the tip of an arrow with wool in a way that would be capable of piercing his targets.
If they wanted to progress in the dungeon, long-range attack would be almost indispensable.
On floor 2, there were the Profane Larva.
The profane larvae were terrible monsters. Not only were they disgusting, but they lived hidden in the ground, and those that devoured humans, become a fusion of bloody butterfly and larva. Being the upper part butterfly and the lower part larva.
Although they couldn't really fly, the profane butterfly larvae were faster and highly venomous.
Their venoms had an effect similar to acid.
Although they were only Lv1, these creatures represent being dangerous even for Lv2.
And the weak point of the profane butterfly larvae was the head, and with the upper part of the body stays suspended in the air mainly thanks to their wings – almost 5 meters in height, some even more – on top of that it keeps shooting acidic venom from the mouth, becoming an incredibly annoying monster to kill.
'It's better to advance directly to floor 3.' He thought: 'On floor 3 are the nightmares. Although they are Lv2 monsters, it's easier to face...'
The nightmares are monsters a bit – just a bit – similar to bear.
They were big and furry. Besides being bipedal and possessing thousands of eyes.
In their fur, they hid thousands of eyes.
At first glance, it seemed not to possess a mouth, and a huge nose, but in reality the mouth was on the belly.
In the dungeon's history, many were surprised, being swallowed by the huge mouth of the nightmares.
Another thing, when opening the mouth, the nightmares release a scream that seems to come straight from the underworld, if close enough, there's a great chance of bursting the eardrums. It's for this and for others that the name of these creatures is 'nightmare'.
"It's ready." Catharina's voice pulled him out of his reverie.
