Qu Jianlei also knows that his car seems... not worthy of the neighborhood.

But things like cars are mainly about practicality, right? As long as he finds it useful.

He didn't want others to accept his thinking, but when someone deliberately used it to make trouble, he found it boring.

Pan Xing is at the aggressive age. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you buy a better car?"

Qu Jianlei glanced at him indifferently, not bothering to answer, and he was not interested in being serious with a little kid.

Pan Xing continued to talk, and a middle-aged man spoke up, "Roarer is very practical. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

This person's name is Teng Wenli, he is a Rank C Warrior, and he has a high prestige in the neighborhood.

Pan Xing didn't dare to say anything more, the barbecue dinner finally started.

In fact, most of the people who came to the dinner just respected this custom. After all, this young man named Panda was just a tenant.

If the other party buys the house here, that's a different matter. As a temporary tenant, his status is still a bit low.

Even those who can afford to rent such a house are not too weak.

What these neighbors are more interested in are the twin sisters. They even feel that they have helped Panda improve its impression score.

Qu Jianlei didn't care about everyone's reaction. He was also greeting people, but his attitude was lukewarm and felt a bit stiff.

When the food and drink were almost Buduo, a woman who still retained her charm spoke up.

"Mr. Panda rented a house here. I wonder what career he is engaged in now and what plans he has for the future?"

If I remember correctly, you are Alice, the mother of Pan Xing, and Qu Jianlei has a pretty good memory.

However, if he wants to integrate into normal society, he still has to restrain his emotions sometimes.

So he answered expressionlessly, "I haven't found a career yet, and I plan to take a break first."

"Unemployed?" Alice blinked, with an obvious look of surprise on his face.

In fact, her surprise was so obvious that it was a bit exaggerated, "Living in our neighborhood... you are actually unemployed?"

Qu Jianlei is a little helpless. If he didn't cherish this hard-earned normal life, he really wouldn't mind falling out on the spot.

But now, he could only answer calmly, "I was too tired a while ago... Can't you live here if you are unemployed?"

"Of course not," Alice replied very firmly, "Everyone in our neighborhood has an identity and must have legitimate income."

Qu Jianlei looked at her deeply, feeling that his anger could no longer be suppressed, "So what is your occupation?"

Alice is a full-time wife. Her husband's income is relatively high, so her responsibility is to take care of the four children at home.

Pan Xing is Second One among her four children, and there are two younger children. She is a little busy raising four children by herself.

However, she would not admit that she was unemployed. She just raised her chin slightly and replied proudly, "I work in finance."

Qu Jianlei is not good at observing words and expressions, but he can also feel that the other party is a little guilty.

However, he really didn't want to worry about it so much, so he just said, "Finance, I'm also involved in it a little bit."

He has been involved in finance since Blue Star. When he came here, he only did some murders and treasure grabbing at most.

Strictly speaking, this is also the transfer of wealth through robbery.

It's just that the platforms are different. There is not much difference in essence between the two.

"You... understand finance?" Alice looked him up and down and snorted disdainfully, "Does loan sharking count?"

I have to admit that offending people really has nothing to do with IQ, but a lot to do with emotional intelligence.

People like Alice look like they are used to being domineering. They open their mouths and dare to talk nonsense.

But she soon realized her problem - she suffered a lot because of this temper.

She tried to keep her tone polite, "Without a legitimate career, it is easy to engage in short-term behavior... which is not good for the neighborhood."

The words are a little ugly, but the truth is correct. Everyone is working hard. If you are idle and do not do your job properly, it is easy for something to happen.

I'm not as poor as you think, okay? Qu Jianlei is really speechless.

But he couldn't say that, and after knowing the prices of Greenwater City, he didn't dare to say how rich he was.

At this moment, the younger sister in the business tour guide couldn't help it anymore, "Panda Bro is rich, he is Modified Warrior!"

Modified Warrior... After hearing her words, the neighbors who came had different expressions.

Modified Warrior's identity is definitely not bad, the lower limit is right there.

I won't say Qianli to pick one, but I can pick two or three at most. With this threshold, where is the threshold? Maybe the development is poor? But when it comes to how strong it is... that's all.

To put it bluntly, most Modified Warrior cannot afford a house in this neighborhood.

However, although this is the case, it is impossible for the neighbors to point this out. Who has eaten too much to annoy others?

Even a reckless person like Alice only dared to whisper, "Haha, Modified Warrior is very powerful?"

Before anyone else could react, the middle-aged man snorted coldly, "Alice What are you talking about? Does neighborly relations depend on strength?"

He is just a Rank C Warrior, but he is fair and well-connected, and many Rank B Warriors are willing to buy in.

Alice didn't dare to say anything when he saw him speaking out. Her family's financial resources were not bad, but they couldn't offend such a person.

Then Teng Wenli looked at Qu Jianlei, smiled and said, "Friend, don't be offended, the people in our neighborhood are pretty good."

You call me "friend"? Qu Jianlei thinks it's a bit funny. You know, how many Rank B Warrior dare not call him that.

But he didn't care, and asked directly, "Are you related to the Energy Block Alliance?"

Teng Wenli I was originally waiting for the other party to say thank you or something. Even if he didn't say thank you, I would have helped you out, right? But he really didn't expect that he would encounter such a problem, and he was a little stunned for a while.

After thinking for a while, he answered seriously, "I have some contact with them... to some extent. What do you want to ask?"

He is now responsible for the education department, specifically, many selection matters for reserve Ability Warrior.

Even though he was only C-level, his power was really great. When Bentley had such a person to say hello to him, how could his family be ruined? He couldn't decide whether there was one more shot of genetic modification agent or one less shot, but there was no problem in tilting it appropriately.

But when he asked the question, he was still a little puzzled, because Energy Block Alliance... he really had contact with it.

As a member of the government, it is not appropriate to have contact with the Energy Block Alliance, but that is just a principle, and there is nothing wrong with making changes.

What he cared about was why the other party asked that.

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I don't have anything to ask, I just know that there are some unique spells in that Alliance."

He thought that Spirit Fox could conceal his own cultivation. Maybe this Teng Wenli could also see the hidden cultivation of others? "Spell?" Teng Wenli chewed the word softly and looked into the other person's eyes with a hint of understanding.

He smiled and nodded, "Sure enough, Panda, your new neighbor has actually awakened?"

Is it possible to draw inferences from one instance? Qu Jianlei is also quite surprised by this. It turns out that great talent lies among the people.

He smiled and said, "I'm not sure if I'm awake yet. I hope I can lend you some good words."

Pan Xing heard that Panda had awakened, and his expression suddenly changed. Ability Warrior was really not someone he was qualified to provoke.

However, when he heard that the other party admitted that he might not be awakened, his heart instantly relaxed.

Then he couldn't help but mutter again, "Haha, don't you even know whether you are awakened or not?"

Teng Wenli looked at him helplessly, little guy, you can't speak, so you don't have to speak! Pan Xing was a little annoyed by this look and couldn't help but say, "I also injected Gene Serum twice!"

He is the lucky one who can get the third injection. Modified Warrior is basically guaranteed. If he awakens successfully, he will be Ability Warrior.

It is precisely for this reason that he acts with such high spirits.

Teng Wenli glared at him fiercely, "So you also know that you only had two injections?"

We are all neighbors, how could he not know about Pan Xing? This child's family is in good condition, and he has taken a lot of supplements to help him wake up since he was a child. He is the kind of person who wins at the starting line.

But even so, the effect of the second injection of Pan Xing is not very good, and the qualifications for the third injection are very unclear.

Later, it was his family that asked for Teng Wenli, and spent a large sum of money to ensure the qualification for the third injection.

Teng Wenli knows very well that awakening is a matter of character. If the effect is not good the second time, it may be better the third time.

But generally speaking, the second injection is more effective and the chance of awakening will be higher.

Can you please don't show off your things in front of me? Without my help, you might not even be qualified! Pan Xing's face was a little confused. After all, he was full of youthful spirit. "Uncle Wenli, I'm very well prepared this time."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the two sisters.

So this is what you had in mind? Teng Wenli shook his head in confusion, he was really a little kid.

But after all, he had been a neighbor for many years, so he still spoke seriously.

"Do you still take me seriously when I say a polite word? Will the unawakened Modified Warrior take the initiative to mention the word 'spell'?"

He doesn't really have any discerning ability, he just has a stronger observation ability.

Hearing this, the younger sister in the sisterhood walked up to Qu Jianlei. Yi Xiyi pushed him angrily and rolled her eyes.

"Okay, we sisters are helping you run forward and backward, but you don't tell us the truth... What attribute has been awakened?"

You really didn't notice, Qu Jianlei looked at her speechlessly, then spread his hands with a wry smile.

"Don't ask me about this. What attribute has been awakened... Is this something you can ask casually?"

This matter is indeed taboo. Although the attribute information of Ability Warrior will be spread out sooner or later, the sooner it is leaked, the better.

Teng Wenli looked at Qu Jianlei thoughtfully, "Have you awakened... registered?"
