The Training Ground Freak! Out of Money!

Dazzling blade light flashed through the beast horde like lightning!

Everywhere it passed, blossoms of blood bloomed in the air!

Under the fierce blade technique, the Monsters shattered like watermelons!

[ Ding! Gale Shadowstep used x1. Proficiency +0.1! ]

[ Ding! Gale Shadowstep used x10. Proficiency +1! ]

[ Ding! Gale Shadowstep used x100. Proficiency +10! ]

[ Ding! Mad Demon Slash used x304. Proficiency +30.4! ]

The notification chimes rang without end.

The blade in Lin Chen's hand never stopped swinging!

After he had slaughtered every Monster in sight!

He let out a low roar and continued with Hell Grade!

At once, another First-Level Demon Beast Horde, dense as locusts, flooded in!

Lin Chen moved through it tirelessly!

The speed of his blade swings grew faster and faster!

Gale Shadowstep's proficiency also continued to rise!

At the training ground's front desk.

The ponytailed girl watched the activity in Room 5201, her expression slightly astonished!

Was there something seriously wrong with this guy?

A Martial Artist who was at least Three-Star had come here to bully weaklings?

Did chopping First-Level Demon Beasts like cabbages really give him such a sense of achievement?

And the most ridiculous part was!

The ponytailed girl had thought that after venting for three hours, he would stop!

After all, he had slaughtered six First-Level Demon Beast Hordes in those three hours!

Even if he had some massive grievance, he should have vented it all by then, right?

Yet this guy refused to play by the rules!

He actually renewed for another hour!

The numb-faced ponytailed girl sighed and could only pretend not to see anything!

Inside Room 5201.

[ Ding! Mad Demon Slash used x3054. Proficiency +305.4. Reached Major Mastery! ]

[ Ding! Gale Shadowstep used x1075. Proficiency +107.5. Reached Minor Mastery! ]

Hearing the system notifications, Lin Chen's eyes burned with excitement!

Yesterday, he could only clear the Hell-Grade Beast Horde once in three hours!

Yet today, he had cleared it six times in three hours!

The rewards were truly substantial!

Thrilled, Lin Chen casually waved his hand, and a panel appeared:

[ Name: Lin Chen! ]

[ Age: 18! ]

[ Realm: Two-Star Martial Artist! ]

[ Qi-Blood Value: 601/1500! ]

[ Combat Skills: Mad Demon Slash! (Major Mastery) Gale Shadowstep! (Minor Mastery) (Beginner, Minor Mastery, Major Mastery, Perfection!) ]

Mad Demon Slash had gone from Minor Mastery to Major Mastery!

That was no small improvement!

Gale Shadowstep advancing from Beginner to Minor Mastery was an even greater surprise!

Lin Chen smiled faintly in delight and put away the panel!

Those forty thousand were even more worth spending today!

He glanced at the renewal prompt beside him.

Lin Chen chose to renew again!

At once, another beast horde appeared amid the ruined walls around him!

Faced with such a dense horde, an ordinary Martial Artist would have run away long ago!

But Lin Chen was full of excitement!

He pounced on them as if he had seen a peerless naked beauty!

[ Ding! Gale Shadowstep used x1. Proficiency +0.1! ]

[ Ding! Mad Demon Slash used x1. Proficiency +0.1! ]

A moment later.

After fighting for four hours, Lin Chen left Room 5201 in satisfaction!

Just as he was about to settle the bill and leave, he suddenly noticed a girl standing beside the machine!

She had fair skin, a pretty face, and long legs. Dressed in a fitted work uniform, she looked both sexy and adorable!

Combined with her high ponytail, her looks were actually no worse than Shen Yingqing's!

Lin Chen's eyes brightened. He nodded, then prepared to pay and leave!

But the ponytailed girl smiled and took the initiative to ask:

"Sir, did you enjoy your training?"

"I did... I did..." Lin Chen said nervously. "I thought you were here to charge me for the damaged props!"

Damaged props?

The ponytailed girl's face darkened!

So he knew how excessive he had been!

In that extra hour, he had cleared the Hell-Grade Beast Horde three more times!

That was an absolutely shocking feat even in the entire training ground!

After all, who came here every day just to bully First-Level Demon Beasts?

"Of course not, sir," the ponytailed girl said. "You can call me Xiaoyu. I'm the receptionist here, and I'm specifically responsible for after-sales service!"

"We noticed that you're so enthusiastic about the First-Level Demon Beast Training Ground, so I'd like to recommend the Second-Level and Third-Level Demon Beast Training Grounds. The environment there is better, and they can temper you more effectively!"

Xiaoyu?

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

The only reason I chose the First-Level Demon Beast Training Ground was because it was easy!

One slash, and he could slaughter them left and right. His proficiency shot up just as quickly!

Wasn't that satisfying?

As for the Second-Level Demon Beast Training Ground and the like, they were too expensive!

Lin Chen had taken a look before. They cost an average of fifty thousand per hour!

He might have a little money, but he could not spend it like that, could he?

Wasn't the cheap, plentiful First-Level Demon Beast Training Ground much better?

"Oh, thank you for the recommendation," Lin Chen said politely. "For now, I'm only interested in the First-Level Demon Beast Training Ground. Goodbye!"

Xiaoyuer: "..."

What did he mean, he was only interested in the First-Level Demon Beast Training Ground?

What a freak!

Xiaoyuer watched his departing back and felt utterly speechless!

Still annoyed, she stamped her foot before turning around and leaving!

After leaving the Martial Artist Training Ground.

Lin Chen headed straight for a nearby breakfast shop.

After buying some noodles and steamed buns, he hurried home!

With Gale Shadowstep at Minor Mastery, Lin Chen's trip home had been shortened to just five minutes!

He was overjoyed by the changes in his speed and strength!

When he got home, his younger sister had not woken up yet.

Moving quietly, Lin Chen put down the breakfast and lay on the sofa for a short rest.

As he slept, he suddenly opened his eyes.

It was not that he could not sleep, but that Lin Chen suddenly felt this home was too small!

The apartment was a loft.

The second floor was the bedroom, where his younger sister lived.

The first floor had the sofa, bathroom, and kitchen.

Lin Chen usually slept on the sofa.

Perhaps because he had been poor before, he had never felt that the place was small.

But now that he had money!

He felt it was time to move!

After all, his younger sister was growing up.

It was somewhat inconvenient for a man and a woman to live together, and Lin Chen would have to rent a new place sooner or later!

Thinking of this, he took out his phone.

He searched for available properties in Chuan City Martial Arts Base.

Good lord!

He had not known until he looked, but one look nearly scared the poor man to death!

[ Chuan City Polaroid Community, fully furnished one-bedroom apartment. Sale price: 2.58 million. Monthly rent: 120,000! ]

[ Chuan City Imperial Residence Community, fully furnished two-bedroom apartment. Sale price: 5.87 million. Monthly rent: 200,000! ]

[ Chuan City Heavenly Dragon Community, fully furnished three-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms. Sale price: 9.87 million. Monthly rent: 400,000! ]

[ Chuan City Dragon Lake Villas. Sale price: 25.87 million. Monthly rent: 1 million! ]

The farther he looked!

The more Lin Chen's heart pounded!

The kind of apartment he currently rented was commonly called a tube building, located beyond Chuan City's Eighth Ring!

Its interior could only be described as filthy, messy, and terrible, not to mention its nonexistent security!

In a place like Chuan City, it was basically called a slum!

Its only advantage was the cheap monthly rent, just five hundred!

Other than the inconvenience of his younger sister going to school.

She had to get up at four or five every morning for school and did not return until seven or eight at night, but everything else was fine!

Now that Lin Chen had money, he felt capable again!

But after seeing those sky-high housing prices, he felt poor again!

"Make money, make money! I have to make money! What difference is there between me and a salted fish without money..."

"For my sister's sake! Work hard and make money!!!!"
