After the internet was disconnected, I connected to the magic world.

"Mr. Su, this is my classmate Lin Ze. He's the one who wants to rent a room."

Before Zhang Lei could react, he introduced, dumbfounded, "Lin Ze, this is the homeowner, President Su."

Su Ziqing was the first to come to her senses, a smile appeared on her face, and she reached out to shake hands with Lin Ze.

"I really didn't expect such a coincidence. Mr. Lin, I haven't properly thanked you for what happened this morning."

"It was nothing," Lin Ze smiled. "I never expected the house to be yours."

"Come in and have a seat." Su Wanqing stepped aside to let them in, then patted Duoduo's head.

"Duoduo, stop bothering your uncle, let's go inside and talk."

"Okay." Duoduo obediently responded, her little hands still tightly gripping Lin Ze's clothes, refusing to let go.

Lin Ze didn't mind and let her pull him into the house.

The house is decorated in a modern Chinese style, bright and clean, and fully furnished, so you can really move in right away.

The living room on the first floor has a very high ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the courtyard, providing excellent natural light.

The group sat down on the sofa, and Su Ziqing poured tea for them.

"Mr. Lin, are you looking to rent this apartment?" she asked first, her tone very calm.

"I wasn't planning on renting it out; it's been listed for sale. If you're interested..."

She paused, then spoke very seriously.

"If you don't mind, you can move into this house. Consider it my way of thanking you for saving Duoduo."

"That won't do." Lin Ze refused without even thinking.

"One thing at a time. Saving someone was just something I did on a whim; I can't take advantage of that."

The house should be priced as it is; if you're renting it out, I'll pay the market rate.

He has his own bottom line in life.

If someone casually saves a child, they're expected to live in a house? What kind of behavior is that?

He himself would be ashamed if word got out.

Su Ziqing wanted to say more, but Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "President Su, if you really want to thank me, see if we can rent for a longer period."

I plan to stay for three to five years, and if the price is right, I'll book it.

Zhang Lei, who was listening nearby, finally understood what was going on.

He secretly gave Lin Ze a thumbs up, his eyes saying, "Not bad, bro."

Su Ziqing looked at Lin Ze with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

She's seen too many people who would skin you alive if they'd done you a favor.

Young people like Lin Ze, who refuse to take advantage of opportunities that are offered to them, are too few and far between.

"If it's for rent, then there's no need to discuss it further."

Su Ziqing smiled and changed the subject, "If Mr. Lin is interested, this house is yours to buy."

Lin Ze was taken aback. "Sell it to me?"

"Yes." Su Ziqing nodded.

"I originally planned to sell this house, but I've had it listed for more than half a year without finding a suitable buyer."

"You're a reliable person, and you're Duoduo's savior, so I feel comfortable selling to you."

"What about the price?" Lin Ze asked.

"Listed at 4.6 million," Su Ziqing said decisively.

"I'll give you a price of two million two hundred thousand. Half price."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei was taken aback.

"Mr. Su? Two million two hundred thousand? That's way too low! This location and this apartment layout should cost at least four million or more!"

Two million two hundred thousand is equivalent to a 47% discount, which is practically like giving it away for free.

"I know," Su Ziqing said calmly.

"Money is just a number to me. Duoduo's life is worth more than any amount of money."

Mr. Lin refuses to stay for free, so I'll sell it to him at half price; that's the best I can do.

If you refuse again, I'll really feel bad.

She spoke very frankly, without the slightest affectation.

For her, a few million is really nothing.

My daughter's safety and well-being are more important than anything else.

Lin Ze refused to accept cash or stay for free, so this was the only way she could express her gratitude.

Lin Ze remained silent for a few seconds.

Two million two hundred thousand—it would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted.

He really liked this house; the yard was large, quiet, and in a secluded location—perfect for cultivation.

From now on, I will have a place to practice body tempering, medicinal baths, and combat skills without worrying about being seen.

It would normally cost over four million, which he definitely can't afford now.

With 2.2 million, if we work hard and scrape together the money, it's not impossible to get it.

"Okay." Lin Ze looked up at Su Ziqing. "I accept the price. But I have one condition."

"you say."

"I don't have much money on hand right now," Lin Ze said frankly, without hiding anything.

"Pay me a deposit of 200,000 first, and I will make up the remaining 2 million within six months."

If you're okay with it, we can sign a contract. If not, I'll still rent it.

He didn't boast or pretend to be wealthy. He said what he had, no empty promises.

Su Ziqing smiled.

"No problem," she agreed readily.

"I'm fine with it whenever I want, even if it's ten or eight years. I'm not in a hurry to use the money."

In her opinion, selling the house to someone like Lin Ze was better than earning a few million more.

This person's character speaks for itself; he's absolutely reliable.

"No," Lin Ze shook his head, "Just six months. I'll definitely give you the rest of the money within six months."

He has the confidence.

With the Magic Network as a cross-world channel, let alone two million, even twenty million would just be a matter of selling a few more sets of cultivation techniques and making a few more trips to trade gold.

Six months is more than enough time.

That's settled.

Zhang Lei watched in stunned silence.

Having worked as a real estate agent for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen a house sold like this.

Selling at half price, and not even in a hurry for the money, it's like they're joking.

The contract is a simplified letter of intent.

Both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints.

Lin Ze immediately transferred 200,000 yuan via his mobile phone.

The money left in the account, plus daily expenses, should be enough to last for a while.

The remaining gaps can be filled gradually.

"I'll arrange for someone to handle the formalities as soon as possible," Su Ziqing said, putting away the contract.

"It should take about a week to complete the transfer of ownership. If you're in a hurry to move in, you can move in tomorrow."

Everything was complete; the bedding and other items were all new.

"No rush," Lin Ze said, "Let's talk about it after the formalities are completed."

After finishing their business, Lin Ze sat for a while longer before getting up to take his leave.

Duoduo took his hand and saw him to the door, looking reluctant to part with him.

"Uncle, will you be living here from now on? Can I come and play with you every day?"

"Yes." Lin Ze ruffled her hair.

"But you have to be good and not run around in the road anymore, understand?"

"Okay!"

Duoduo nodded vigorously, "I promise I'll be good from now on! When Uncle moves in, I'll ask Mom to make you something delicious!"

Su Ziqing stood to the side, watching her daughter with a faint smile on her lips.

After seeing Lin Ze and Zhang Lei off, Su Ziqing stood in the yard, watching the car drive away.

"Mommy," Duoduo looked up at her, "Uncle Lin Ze is really a martial arts master, isn't he?"

Su Ziqing patted her daughter's head without saying a word.

She didn't know whether he was a martial arts master or not.

But she knew that this young man was no ordinary person.

She saw it clearly that morning. She knew exactly how powerful the impact of the truck was.

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't even be able to save someone; they would be thrown into the air themselves.

But Lin Ze was completely unharmed, without even a scratch.

And then there's his aura; he looks ordinary, but his eyes are incredibly steady, exuding an indescribable composure.

He doesn't look like a young man in his early twenties.

"Never mind," Su Ziqing murmured to herself, "as long as the person is good."

On the other side, inside the car.

Zhang Lei looked at Lin Ze as if he were a monster, "You're something else!"

When did he become a hero for saving lives?

Buying a house at half price? Wow, your luck is incredible!

"Just luck," Lin Ze replied casually, offering no further explanation.

He watched the scenery flash by outside the window, pondering his next steps.

With the house settled, the next step is moving in and setting up a place for meditation.

The medicinal bath can be arranged now. The courtyard is big enough that we can practice stance training and combat skills freely.
