Moving House

Ye Wendao looked at Liu Li and said, "Old woman, you decide."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Liu Li immediately made the decision: "Let's live in the villa!"

"Oh yeah! Mom, you're the best!"

Ye Bingxue cheered, and Hua Qiang also smiled. Why would they choose to squeeze into those cramped apartments when they could live in a villa?

Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Besides, the villa area had a higher safety rating and a better environment. Living there would definitely be much more comfortable.

They unanimously decided to move the very next morning.

Hua Qiang and Ye Bingxue both had Storage Bags, so moving was incredibly simple for them.

They could just stuff everything they wanted to bring, everything they needed, into their Storage Bags and hit the road with light loads.

Returning to his room, Hua Qiang brought up the Void Panel:

Name: Hua Qiang

Age: 18

Talent: Slaughter (Hidden, Activated)

Realm: Peak Martial Artist

Blood Qi: 624.6

Cultivation Technique: Brute Ox Strength (Mastered)

Combat Skills: Decisive Strike (Mastered), Frenzied Saber Slash (Mastered), Prediction (Mastered), Shadow Dodge (Beginner)

Weapon: Dark Gold Great Saber

Slaughter Points: 3980

Seeing the personal data on the panel, a hint of joy appeared on Hua Qiang's face.

In just a few days since arriving in this time and space, he had transformed from a useless, despised, and even self-conscious fatty into a peak martial artist, a skilled fighter capable of contending with high-level Martial Masters.

His family's life had also undergone a seismic shift because of him.

Starting tomorrow, they would be moving into the affluent district and living the life of the wealthy.

With 3980 Slaughter Points, it was time for him to advance further.

Hua Qiang directly added 300 points to his Blood Qi.

A warm current enveloped his entire body, making him feel incredibly refreshed. Then, a powerful force surged through him, making him several times stronger than he was before.

His Slaughter Points instantly dropped to 980.

Hua Qiang felt a pang of heartache. These Slaughter Points weren't easy to come by!

On his status panel, the Blood Qi value changed from the original 624.6 to 924.6, and his realm was updated from Peak Martial Artist to Mid-stage Martial Master.

How many days had it been?

Only about four or five days, and he had already advanced from an ordinary person to a Martial Master?

Life with this cheat was truly awesome!

He then looked at the Combat Skills section. His newly learned skill, [Shadow Dodge], was only at the Beginner level. How could that be acceptable?

Now that he had surplus Slaughter Points, he decided to upgrade it to Mastered as well!

With Shadow Dodge at the Mastered level, the distance and speed it could cover when used would definitely be much greater than at the Beginner level.

No sooner had he thought of it than he acted. Hua Qiang made the adjustments, and Shadow Dodge advanced from Beginner to Mastered, while his Slaughter Points decreased to 840.

He rubbed his gums, his heart giving a twinge. It hurt!

Just like that, another 140 points were gone.

Previously, upgrading a Yellow Grade combat skill to Mastered only cost 70 points, but a Mysterious Grade one cost double!

If it was an Earth Grade or Heaven Grade martial art, then...

He didn't want to think about it. He'd have to be prepared for major expenditures in the future!

Hua Qiang was feeling distressed and conflicted about spending Slaughter Points to improve his martial arts realm.

If other martial cultivators knew that he could upgrade a combat skill from Beginner to Mastered with just a flick of his finger, they would probably be climbing through his window at midnight, rushing into his room, stripping him naked…

And then tearing him apart with their teeth.

Wasn't that infuriating?

For them, just upgrading their martial arts from Beginner to Minor Accomplishment took an unknown amount of time.

Months, half a year, or even one or two years might pass without them seeing any improvement.

But here he was, reaching the Mastered level in the blink of an eye and still complaining and feeling heartbroken.

Was he even human?

Hua Qiang swung his fists a few times, practicing a few moves in the air, then went to bed contentedly.

There was no such thing as meditating to cultivate!

Bang bang bang!

Just as he was playing chess with Duke of Zhou, he was interrupted by the sound of a partition being kicked.

"Brother! You lazy pig, get up quickly, pack up, and let's move!"

Well, no more sleeping. If he didn't open the door soon, his soft ribs would be in trouble.

"Little sis, why so early? It's not even dawn yet!"

Hua Qiang muttered, eyes closed and yawning.

"Mom and Dad are almost ready. You should pack what you need to bring."

Ye Bingxue said from the next room while packing with a clatter.

Hua Qiang shook his head helplessly. The villa was fully furnished with high-end renovations, essentially ready to move in.

Actually, whether he packed or not didn't matter much.

Unless it was some valuable item or something with sentimental meaning, everything else…

He thought about the junk at his own home and then imagined it piled up in a luxuriously renovated villa. The scene would be, ugh, an eyesore.

He got up and threw all his clothes, bedding, and blankets into the storage bag.

Looking at the empty room, Hua Qiang finally felt relieved.

He didn't want to be called wasteful or a spendthrift by his parents for not cherishing old things.

Clang!

Ye Bingxue pushed the door open and entered. Seeing the empty room, she smiled in satisfaction.

It seemed her brother hadn't gotten too full of himself. He wasn't looking down on his old belongings just because he had a little money now.

He hadn't grown tired of the old and fond of the new; he was still the same Hua Qiang.

She was very happy about this!

Afterward, the two of them began moving the items that Ye Wendao and Liu Li had packed into the storage ring.

Looking at the bare walls, with no belongings left, all four of them fell into silence.

This house, where they had lived for nearly twenty years, their home, held too many memories.

It contained their joy, sadness, happiness, pain, laughter, and tears…

"Let's go!"

Ye Wendao held Liu Li's hand and slowly walked towards the door.

Two cars, one white and one black, broke through the morning mist, heading towards Xuanwu Villa in the northern central area of the base.

After registering at the gate guard post, the two cars, escorted by a group of security guards, entered a residential area with beautiful surroundings, blooming flowers, treelined paths intertwined with waterscapes and pavilions. Each house had a small garden.

Hua Qiang's family of four stopped in front of Villa No. 26. This was the residence allocated to him.

The house and its surrounding courtyard covered nearly a thousand square meters. Opening the courtyard gate, they were greeted by a lawn of several hundred square meters, surrounded by various flowers in full bloom, competing in beauty.

The cars drove along the asphalt path by the courtyard wall to the villa's entrance. It was a five-story building, four above and one below, large and luxurious.

After the four of them toured the villa and were assigned rooms, they sat back down on the luxurious leather sofa in the living room. Ye Wendao, Liu Li, and Ye Bingxue were still dazed, feeling like they were in a dream.

Such a beautiful, large house had become their home!
