Moving House

Luo Feng was very happy today because his hard work had finally paid off. He thought of his hardworking parents and his younger brother, who was confined to a wheelchair due to a physical disability and rarely got to see the sun all year round.

Now, they could finally leave this 36-square-meter room. Thinking of this, tears welled up in Luo Feng's eyes.

Luo Feng's family of four enjoyed their final dinner together in that 36-square-meter room.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home," Sett said as he opened the door.

"We were just waiting for you to eat. I don't know what you're doing every day, coming home so late," Xia Hai said.

"What else could I be doing? Training, of course. I have to improve my strength. It would be a disaster if I got eaten by a monster during the actual combat assessment," Sett replied.

"You brat, what are you saying? If a monster dares to eat you, I'll grab a kitchen knife and hack it to pieces!" Jin Wenying shouted as she rushed out of the kitchen upon hearing this.

"Forget it, you struggle to even kill a chicken with a knife, let alone hack a monster. You'd probably just be delivering yourself as a snack," Xia Hai remarked.

"Alright, stop arguing. I really do have something going on today. I'll tell you all some good news in a moment," Sett said before going to wash his hands and serve the dishes.

Once the three of them were seated around the dining table, Xia Hai couldn't help but be the first to ask, "What's the good news? Tell us quickly, I'm dying of curiosity."

"That's right, tell us! We're family, don't keep us in suspense," Jin Wenying urged.

Sett looked at them and said, "I was training with Luo Feng at the dojo today. Our instructor, Jiang Nian, you know him, right? He asked us to test our strength, so we listened and went to do it."

"And then?" Xia Hai asked hurriedly.

"And then, the test results came out. Our strength has improved significantly, and Jiang Nian discovered that we are geniuses. He wouldn't let us go and insisted we join the Extreme Martial Arts Hall early.

In the end, we had no choice. Jiang Nian took us to the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City, to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Some of the 'Big Four' executives took a liking to us. They each gave us two million and a villa to get us to join the Extreme Martial Arts Hall early. Can you believe these people? They were practically begging to give me money."

"What? Two million?" Son, are you running a fever and talking nonsense? Xia Hai said, quickly reaching out to touch Sett's forehead.

"I'm not talking nonsense! Your son is a genius, you know? If the Thunder Dojo knew I was a genius, they wouldn't just offer two million—they'd offer five million," Sett said exaggeratedly.

"So, you're a martial artist of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall now?" Jin Wenying asked.

"Of course, could it be fake? Luo Feng and I absorbed cosmic energy for the first time, and our strength increased threefold. We're at the genius level. Our instructor, Jiang Nian, said that even in a Jiangnan Base City of two hundred million people, only one or two geniuses like us appear in a year. So, isn't your son amazing?" Sett boasted.

"Amazing, amazing, my son is definitely amazing," Jin Wenying said repeatedly.

"To be fair, it's true. Sett, you are Dad's pride," Xia Hai added.

"Let's see when we have time in the next two days so we can move out of here. This apartment building doesn't even have an elevator; it's so annoying. Everything is settled with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall; we can move into the Mingyue Residential Quarter and live in a detached villa at any time," Sett said.

"Son, are you serious? Can we really live in the Mingyue Residential Quarter?" The Mingyue Residential Quarter was quite famous in Yangzhou City. All the martial artists of the Yangzhou City Extreme Martial Arts Hall lived there in detached villas. In this era of base cities, the value of a detached villa went without saying.

"It's definitely true. So, let's enjoy this final dinner."

"Sigh, am I really going to live a retired life at such a young age?" Xia Hai sighed from the side.

"Dad, I heard there's a 200-inch 32K ultra-high-definition TV in the villa. Watching dramas on that won't be bad, right?" Sett said while picking up some food.

"We're moving tomorrow!"

Early the next morning.

"Xia Hai, what are you doing?"

"Moving! My son is a martial artist of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall now, so naturally, we have to live in the Mingyue Residential Quarter. This apartment building definitely isn't good enough for my son anymore. Sigh, you don't know—I told him I was used to living here for decades, but my son insisted that I move. You tell me, isn't it a bit eerie for the three of us to live in such a huge villa?"

"Look at you showing off. Alright, remember to treat us to a meal." The neighbor had lived with Xia Hai for decades and knew he loved to brag, but they were also happy for him, thinking that good people really do get rewarded.

The child they had picked up in the park over a decade ago had grown up to become a martial artist and was now moving into a detached villa. It was hard not to be envious, and the neighbors sighed at Xia Hai's good fortune.

"A meal? We'll definitely have one, at that five-star hotel next door. But I'm saying this in advance: no one is allowed to bring gift money. If anyone does, don't blame me for not recognizing you. Bring everyone in your family," Xia Hai said.

"We'll definitely be there, definitely."

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the neighbors, the family of three headed toward the Mingyue Residential Quarter with the items they couldn't bear to throw away.

As luck would have it, they ran into Luo Feng's family at the entrance of the Mingyue Residential Quarter.

"Dad, Mom, that's Luo Feng's family," Sett said.

"Luo Feng, Sett, the moving company can stop here. We'll help you move the rest of the way in," an acquaintance who had let them through last time said after Luo Feng and Sett got out of the car.

"In the blink of an eye, you two have both become martial artists. Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Thank you," the two of them smiled.

When Sett first transmigrated, he only thought about clinging to Luo Feng's leg to get familiar with him, but after spending time with his family, their relationship had become excellent, and he now had a goal to strive for.

Neither family had many things to move, mostly just items they had used for a long time and couldn't bear to discard. Before long, all their belongings were moved into their respective villas.

"Phew, look at this big villa. It must be several hundred square meters," Xia Hai said upon seeing the three-story villa.

"This villa has three floors above ground and one basement level, totaling 800 square meters," the staff member nearby said.

"It really is big enough," Jin Wenying laughed.

"Yeah, I never thought I'd be able to live in a big villa," Xia Hai also remarked with emotion.

"Sett, go call Luo Feng and have him invite his family so we can have a meal together. Look, our two buildings are right next to each other, and you two are good friends, so we should keep in touch," Jin Wenying said, seeing that it was noon.

"Alright, I'll go right now," Sett said before running toward the villa next door.

"Luo Feng, Luo Feng," Sett called out at the entrance of the villa.

"What's up?" Luo Feng was still tidying up the villa; after all, they had just moved in, and many things hadn't been put in place yet.

"It's already noon, let's have our two families go out for a meal. It'll be a good chance to get to know each other, since we'll be neighbors from now on," Sett said.

"Sure, I'll go call them right now," Luo Feng said before heading inside to get his parents and younger brother.

Not long after, Luo Feng pushed Luo Hua's wheelchair, and the two families walked out of the residential complex together. Their parents chatted away excitedly, while Luo Feng, Sett, and Luo Hua talked about interesting stories from the martial arts gym.

"Luo Hua, the last time I sparred with your brother, it scared the life out of me. Do you know why?" Sett said to Luo Hua.

"Why?" Luo Hua asked, looking up at Sett from his wheelchair.

"Because when I threw a punch, your brother didn't dodge it and just collapsed onto the ground. I was so worried, terrified that something might happen to him—after all, murder is against the law! I was begging him not to die, thinking about what I'd do if he actually kicked the bucket," Sett boasted.

"Hahaha." All three of them were amused.

Luo Feng didn't mind Sett speaking ill of him; after all, the two were very good brothers. Luo Hua naturally knew it was a joke and enjoyed hearing about the outside world. After all, being confined to a wheelchair made it difficult for him to communicate with people outside.

Inside a five-star hotel, "Alright, brother, I won't say much more. This meal is on me, don't you dare pay the bill."

After they had eaten their fill, Sett and Luo Feng's father argued over who would pay for the meal.

"Are you looking down on your brother? I'm paying this time, and I'll let you pay next time."

"I'm paying!"

"I'm paying!"

"I'm paying!"
