Soon, the two arrived at a residential area.

Jinxiu Garden sales office.

"Sir, if you are looking to rent a room, there are real estate agencies to your left after you go out. We only handle the sales of new properties."

The saleswoman sized up the two people in front of her. Although she maintained a professional and polite tone, her eyes revealed an undisguised perfunctory attitude.

One of the two was wearing faded casual clothes, and although his hair was quite handsome, it was a bit messy.

Another person was wearing a sweat-soaked sports vest, looking like he had just come back from carrying bricks.

They don't look like customers who can afford to buy in this upscale neighborhood.

"Who said we were going to rent a place?"

Wang Tuyun wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered somewhat unhappily, "I came here with my brother to look at apartments. Show us your nicest layouts."

The saleswoman pursed her lips, casually pulled out a floor plan and placed it on the table, without even pouring a glass of water.

"These are some of the few remaining fully furnished apartments we have. They have three bedrooms, two living rooms, are 120 square meters, have the best natural light, and are right next to the scenic lake. However, the price is a bit high; it will cost 1.5 million yuan to pay in full."

She emphasized the words "one million five hundred thousand" in the hopes of dissuading the two young people who were probably just there to freeload off the air conditioning.

"One and a half million?"

Wang Tuyun's eyes widened. She tugged at Su Yu's sleeve and whispered, "Holy crap, Su, this is way too expensive! Maybe we should rent a place, or somewhere a little further out..."

Although he was a second-generation rich kid, he knew about Su Yu's financial situation.

The siblings depended on each other for survival, and they rarely even ate much meat. Where did they get so much money?

Su Yu ignored his best friend's advice.

He picked up the floor plan and looked at it, then walked to the model and pointed to the best-located penthouse: "Which floor is this unit on?"

"The 16th floor, the prime floor." The saleswoman looked at the fingernails with some impatience: "Sir, if you don't buy..."

"I bought it."

Su Yu's voice was as calm as if he had just bought a cabbage at the market.

He took out a seemingly ordinary bank card from his pocket, held it between two fingers, and gently placed it on the marble tabletop.

"Full payment, by card."

"Also, I need to check in today, the sooner the better."

"what?"

The saleswoman froze, her hand trembling as she applied nail polish, causing a crooked line.

She stared at the card in disbelief, then at Su Yu's calm expression: "Sir...you mean the full amount? One and a half million?"

"The password is six sixes. Go." Su Yu didn't want to waste any more words.

It wasn't until the card reader spit out a long receipt and the "transaction successful" notification sounded that the saleswoman snapped out of her daze.

Her attitude instantly underwent a complete 180-degree turn; her smile was as radiant as a flower, and she bent over so low she almost touched her head to the ground.

"Honorable sir! I was blind to your greatness just now! Please wait a moment, I'll expedite the procedures for you right away! I'll personally communicate with the property management, and I guarantee you can move in tonight!"

Watching the saleswoman's eager back view, Wang Tuyun, standing next to her, was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.

He looked at Su Yu as if he were an alien, and stammered, "..."

"Old...Old Su? Did you rob a bank? Or...are you really being kept by some rich woman? Could it be that Lin Qingyue?!"

Aside from being kept by a rich woman, he really couldn't imagine how a brother who had been poor for so many years could suddenly come up with 1.5 million in cash.

"What are you thinking about?"

Su Yu rolled her eyes at him and casually made up an excuse: "I was lucky. I got two top-tier pieces of equipment and rare materials in the game these past few days, and I sold them to some guild leaders."

"You know how outrageous the price of gold is right now. A single gold coin can be exchanged for a lot of money, let alone a divine artifact."

"Holy crap! That's incredibly profitable?!"

Wang Tuyun believed it instantly, after all, he also played games and knew how crazy those rich people were for equipment.

But then I thought, wait a minute?

His best friend is a sightseeing enthusiast, and he's still in the newbie village. What good equipment can he possibly get?

In response, Su Yu could only say that he was lucky in the early stages of the game and got a good piece of equipment. He sold it for a high price because he was short of equipment in the early game.

Adding the money I earned from WeChat before, it's just enough.

"Is that so...?" Wang Tuyun was skeptical, but didn't ask too many questions.

As long as my best friend doesn't do anything illegal, it's fine.

"..."

That evening, Room 1601, Jinxiu Garden.

As night falls, the lights are on.

This well-furnished apartment is spacious and bright, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the city's dazzling lights.

"Xiaoyu...this, this is our home?"

Su Qianqian stood in the center of the living room, looking at the soft carpet under her feet, the brand-new leather sofa, and the spacious balcony where she could run, and her eyes instantly reddened.

She was somewhat at a loss, and even dared not step hard on the floor, for fear of dirtying such a beautiful place.

Over the years, the siblings have lived in leaky basements and poorly soundproofed rental rooms. To save money, they couldn't even bear to turn on the heating all day in winter.

She dreams of having a home of her own, a place where she doesn't have to worry about landlords raising rents or about leaks when it rains.

"Yes, sis."

Su Yu walked over, gently put her arm around her sister's shoulder, and said in an incredibly gentle voice, "This is our home. We'll never have to move again."

Su Qianqian turned around and hugged Su Yu tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Those were tears of joy, a release of pent-up emotions after years of burdens had been lifted.

"Alright, alright, why are you crying on such a beautiful day?"

Wang Tuyun, who was standing next to her, was also somewhat moved, but she still tactfully interrupted the sentimentality: "Sister Qianqian, um... shouldn't we celebrate? I can already smell the aroma of the ingredients in the kitchen!"

"puff....."

Su Qianqian smiled through her tears and said, "Okay! I'll show you what I can cook today! What do you want to eat?"

"Braised pork belly! Sweet and sour pork ribs! And cola chicken wings!" Wang Tuyun raised her hand to answer.

"No problem! Xiaoyu, you sit with Tu Yun for a while, it'll be ready soon!"

Su Qianqian rolled up her sleeves, tied on an apron, and hummed a cheerful tune as she walked into the spacious and bright kitchen.

A short while later.

The sizzling sound of stir-frying and the rich aroma of meat wafted out of the kitchen, filling the brand-new house.

Half an hour later.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast.

The braised pork belly is a bright red color, fatty but not greasy; the sweet and sour pork ribs are sweet and sour with a fragrant aroma; and there is also a large bowl of steaming pork rib soup.

"Cheers!!"

The three glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

"For the new home! For Lao Su to get rich! For... Goddess!" Wang Tuyun hadn't forgotten his girlfriend whom he hadn't even met yet.

"For... a better life in the future," Su Yu said with a smile.

This meal was exceptionally lively.

Wang Tuyun ate heartily without any regard for appearances, her mouth covered in oil. Su Qianqian kept serving them food, her smile warmer than the lights outside the window.

Su Yu didn't say much; she just quietly ate the braised pork her sister had made.

The taste is familiar, it's still the same taste.

But my state of mind is completely different.

Looking at the heartwarming scene before him and listening to the laughter of his best friend and sister, Su Yu felt an unprecedented sense of peace.

In recent years, he has been leveling up like crazy in the game, walking on the edge of life and death, and fighting in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

What is the purpose?

Isn't this the moment we've been waiting for?

As long as we can keep this smile and protect this family.

Even if his hands were stained with blood, even if he transformed into a demon, he would do it willingly.

"The killing in the game is for survival..."

Su Yu murmured to himself, "And this is the life I want to protect."

"..."

We were full and satisfied.

Wang Tuyun patted her round belly and let out a loud burp: "Burp... That feels good! Sister Qianqian's cooking is amazing!"

"Alright, you've eaten and drunk your fill, time to get back to work."

At this point, Wang Tuyun patted his head and got excited.

"Alright, I need to go back and log in too. I haven't seen my goddess for hours!"

With that, he ran out.

Su Qianqian looked at Wang Tuyun's back, shook her head, and then looked at Su Yu.

At this moment, Su Yu's face was full of black lines.
