"Shen Xing, get up quickly, we're going to do something important today!" Qin Lang shouted excitedly into the phone.
"Something big?" Shen Xing replied sleepily, "What's so big?"
"Didn't you ask me to help you look at houses last time? I searched for several days according to your requirements, and I finally found one!"
Qin Lang said, "That house is excellent; you'll definitely be satisfied!"
Shen Xing perked up upon hearing this: "Okay, I'll get up right away."
He then asked, "By the way, have you notified Jiayi?"
"I've notified her. I'll pick her up first, then I'll come pick you up."
"Can."
Shen Xing hung up the phone, feeling a little excited.
After all, this was the first time in his life he had ever bought a house!
I quickly got out of bed, washed up briefly, and then tidied up.
At 8:30 a.m., Qin Lang sent a message saying he was already waiting downstairs.
Shen Xing also pushed her wheelchair and took the elevator downstairs.
A light drizzle was still falling outside, and the sky was overcast.
After three or four days of continuous rain, the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.
Qin Lang stood beside the car, holding a large umbrella, waiting.
Xu Jiayi opened the car window and waved to him.
After Qin Lang lifted him to the passenger seat, he closed the umbrella and climbed into the driver's seat.
"beep-
'
The car drove away from the old residential area and sped off into the rain.
After passing through several main roads, we soon arrived at the city center of Jiangcheng.
Then we turned into an old street lined with sycamore trees on both sides and drove straight along the riverside avenue.
"What are we doing by the river?" Shen Xing asked, looking at the unfamiliar street scene outside the window.
"Of course we're looking at houses, what else could we be doing?" Qin Lang laughed. "After all, given your circumstances, finding a suitable house won't be easy."
"But after making some inquiries, I actually found it."
He spoke with a hint of pride, then introduced, "There's a residential complex up ahead called Jiangwan Yipin."
"It sounds no different from some ordinary residential communities, but most of the people living there are pioneers."
"So you can confidently summon troops here without worrying about being seen by others."
Shen Xing's face flashed with surprise; he hadn't expected that there were communities in Jiangcheng full of pioneers.
Suppressing my curiosity, I continued to watch the street scene outside the car window.
The car turned onto a quiet side road, where rows of detached villas gradually appeared on both sides, each separated by a dense green belt, offering excellent privacy.
Soon, they arrived at a detached villa that was backed by a low hill and faced the river.
The building has gray and white exterior walls, and the courtyard is surrounded by black iron railings. Inside, there is a three-story modern-style building.
Although we can't see what the interior looks like yet, just from its location and size, we can tell it's absolutely amazing.
"How's this house? Isn't it both private and has a great view?"
Qin Lang parked the car in the parking space next to him and asked with a smile.
Shen Xing nodded: "It is indeed very good."
"But are you sure you can get this house within a two million budget?"
"Haha, that's definitely not enough," Qin Lang laughed. "The price of this house will need to increase by about ten times."
Shen Xing: "?"
"Twenty million? Are you crazy? I don't have that much money."
Shen Xing gave him a disgruntled look.
Qin Lang laughed and said, "Don't worry, the listed price of this house is 20 million, but it won't actually cost that much."
""
"This is a community built by the Jiangcheng government specifically for pioneers, and players will receive certain discounts when purchasing it."
"Especially those of us who have placed in the top three of the Mist of the Sky are the focus of our support."
"I asked around with Captain Zhou, and the lowest price I can get it is half price."
"Half price?" Shen Xing pondered for a moment, "That would still be ten million, I don't think it's necessary."
Although, given the size and location of this house, buying it for ten million is indeed a very good deal.
But he felt that it was just a place to live, and there was no need to invest so much.
With that money, he could buy another piece of advanced material.
Qin Lang shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about the money."

"Jiayi and I discussed it and decided that we would each contribute some money to buy this house together."
Xu Jiayi, sitting in the back seat of the car, also spoke up: "I visited this community last time. There's a large basement where you can summon and train troops."
"This place can serve as our activity base in the future, where we can train together and discuss matters."
"Besides, you're going to move eventually anyway, so you might as well go all the way and move to a better living environment."
She paused, then added, "Qin Lang and I probably won't be staying here often, so we won't bother you."
Shen Xing didn't care about that, after all, he used to live in a rented house, with dozens of families living in one building.
The house is so big that if each person lives on one floor, they won't disturb each other at all.
"Come on, let's go, don't stand here," Qin Lang urged. "Let's go take a look at the house first."
Shen Xing nodded, deciding to wait and see.
Qin Lang drove directly into the front yard, and the iron gate automatically rose as he approached the garage.
After parking the car, Qin Lang, holding a large umbrella, pushed Shen Xing around the yard for a tour.
This house is indeed very large.
There is a wide front yard right at the top, at least over 100 square meters, with an artificial fountain in the center.
A cobblestone path extends outwards, flanked by neatly trimmed lawns.
They entered the house from the front yard and then strolled into the back yard.
Finally, Qin Lang led Shen Xing to the basement of the house.
At this moment, a spacious hall with a ceiling height of five or six meters and bright lights came into view.
Several sturdy load-bearing columns are distributed at the four corners, and blue energy patterns are faintly visible on the surface of the columns.
"This basement is huge," Shen Xing exclaimed.
"Haha, I wasn't lying to you, was I?" Qin Lang said with a smile, "These basements have been treated. The pillars are engraved with energy patterns, which can withstand superhuman impacts without collapsing."
"Soundproofing layers were also installed inside the walls, and the effect is very good."
Shen Xing nodded, quite satisfied with the layout.
But I still had some hesitation, because the house was really beyond my budget.
Xu Jiayi saw through his thoughts and leaned against the wall, saying, "Don't worry, we already have more than six million in cash."
"With your current abilities, are you worried about not being able to earn four million?"
"That's right," Qin Lang chimed in. "It's only four million. You can easily collect that much by getting one piece of extraordinary advancement material."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing only thought for a second before nodding and deciding, "Okay, let's choose this place then."
He wasn't the type to be indecisive; once he set his sights on someone, he decided to go for it immediately.
"Decisive," Qin Lang praised. "Then it's settled. You'll be staying here starting today, and someone will come to your door tomorrow to sign the contract."
"By the way, give me the key to the rental apartment over there, and I'll find a moving company to bring all my things over."
"Okay." Shen Xing didn't waste any words and handed him the key directly.
For most people, moving is a big event that requires many days of preparation.
But Shen Xing was all alone, and apart from a cane, there was nothing of value in his rented room.
So for him, moving is just like changing hotels to sleep in.
"Why don't you go upstairs and sit for a while? I'll be right back."
Qin Lang was equally decisive, grabbing the keys and heading out the door.
He drove the old man's SUV out of the yard and sped through the rain.
Xu Jiayi then pushed him to the living room on the first floor and sat on the sofa opposite him.
This was, in fact, the first time they had ever been alone together like this.
This homebody wasn't wearing pajamas today, but she was just wearing a loose black T-shirt and casual sweatpants.
Right now, I'm lounging lazily on the sofa, holding up my phone and grinning like an idiot.
It was precisely because of her raising her hand that her loose T-shirt was pulled upwards, revealing a slender waist.
Looking upwards, you can even vaguely see the outline of two rows of ribs.
Shen Xing couldn't help but think to himself, "This woman is too thin."
And this is already considered good; she used to be even more exaggerated, her figure was truly skin and bones.
If it weren't for the fact that she ate a few fruits recently and her physical condition improved significantly, a gust of wind could have blown her away.
However, what's a little strange is that Xu Jiayi's belly is slightly protruding.
Although the amplitude wasn't high, it seemed somewhat incongruous compared to her slender figure.
"By the way, Shen Xing, have you noticed? The weather has been a bit strange lately," Xu Jiayi asked, putting down her phone.
"You mean this rain?" Shen Xing looked away and replied.
"Yes," Xu Jiayi nodded, "A few days ago, there was widespread rainfall in the Misty Lands."
"Following closely behind, it started raining in our city of Jiangcheng, and then gradually spread to more than a dozen cities across the country."
"Now, even many countries overseas are covered by rain."
She paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Moreover, I've been scrolling through short videos these past few days and have seen quite a few people film monsters from the game appearing in real life."
"The comments below all say they're AI-generated, but I can tell they're real."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing looked thoughtful, then checked the weather on his phone.
Satellite cloud images show that most of the country is shrouded in rain clouds, and several typhoons are even forming over the sea.
"This rain is definitely not normal."
He realized something was wrong a few days ago, and now his suspicions have been confirmed.
"Is there any announcement or action from above?" Shen Xing asked.
"No, this kind of rescue is unprecedented in decades."
Xu Jiayi shook her head and said, "Many players on the forum are also speculating that Hai may be some kind of large-scale rescue project covering the whole country or even the world."
"But no one knows exactly what will happen."
Shen Xing nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Next, they each scrolled through their phones, checking news or related reports on the forum.
But as Xu Jiayi said, no one knows what happened, and everyone is guessing and speculating, with many different opinions.
The blush slowly faded away, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the two of them got a little hungry, and Xu Jiayi's stomach even started growling.
"Shen Xing, let me make you some noodles." The homebody suddenly said.
