"I like..."

Wait!

What was her older brother saying!

After Lin Jia reacted, a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Glancing back at her older brother lying on the sofa, she said:

"Brother, how did you suddenly think of talking about houses?"

"Haha, well..." Lin Chen got up and spread his hands, saying, "I've been working hard lately, and the boss plans to transfer me to work in another place. Coincidentally, there's a house available to choose from, so I'm asking you!"

"(⊙o⊙) Wow! Brother, you're amazing!" Lin Jia said pleasantly!

"Yeah, so what kind of house do you like?" Lin Chen rubbed his head.

"A bigger one, I guess," Lin Jia said. "Does it cost money, Brother?"

"We only need to give a little rent," Lin Chen smiled slightly, saying, "The bulk of it is covered by the company."

"Is that so," Lin Jia said. "If the rent isn't expensive, then let's get a bigger one. If the rent is expensive, a smaller one is fine too!"

Having obtained Lin Jia's requirements for the house,

Lin Chen nodded.

Buying the battle skill cost 20k.

Opening the hotel room cost 50k!

Right now, he still had 1.98 million on his entire body!

Not much and not a little, buying a house was still a bit of a stretch!

However, going out to hunt monsters for a couple of days should be about enough!

"Brother, I'm done eating, I'm off to school now!"

As she thought about it, Lin Jia had already packed up to go to school.

Lin Chen nodded.

Then he began to wash the dishes, freshened up, and headed out!

As usual, driver Old Zhang was waiting by the car door.

The exhaled smoke rings and thin mist mixed together and melted away.

Today's weather in Chuan City seemed a bit bad.

Presumably, there weren't many martial artists leaving the city, right?

Driver Old Zhang shook his head slightly, and after extinguishing his cigarette butt, he prepared to start the car.

"Morning!"

He suddenly saw a familiar figure coming from behind!

Looking back, Lin Chen had already gotten into the car!

This kid hadn't even been in sight just a moment ago?

Old Zhang rubbed his eyes.

After confirming it was Lin Chen, he said in surprise:

"Did you fly over, kid? I didn't see you just now..."

"The fog is so thick," Lin Chen said. "It's normal that you couldn't see me!"

That's true.

Driver Old Zhang glanced at the thick fog all over the sky, then stopped doubting.

However, taking a look at Lin Chen, he reminded him:

"Thunderstorm weather has been issued for the Chuan City Martial Dao Base today, why are you still going out of the city?"

"We're out of water at home," Lin Chen said honestly. "I'm getting ready to go out of the city to rain-bathe and wash my hair!"

Rain-bathe and wash your hair...

Fine!

Feeling speechless, driver Old Zhang nodded.

Looking at the strange guy in front of him, he then started the car and drove away!

Today's weather in Chuan City was hazy and gray.

The towering skyscrapers were also shrouded in thin mist.

From time to time, they loomed in and out of sight.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen habitually opened the Martial Artist Forum!

[The weather is no good today, I don't plan to go out of the city. Are there any mature older sisters or lolis wanting to grab coffee and hang out?]

[Thunderstorm weather is so scary, are there any brothers coming over to my house to comfort me? Limited to Three-Star Martial Artists and above!]

[Have you guys heard! The Guard Army's annual selection competition has started, I heard they're going to increase the prize amount this year!]

[So tired! I can finally rest for a bit. Need a younger sister, a lonely heart needs comfort!]

Post after post flashed past.

Lin Chen's gaze finally landed on the third post about the Guard Army selection competition.

He clicked on it.

The reply messages inside numbered up to tens of thousands!

"So what if you heard about it? Are you a Five-Star Martial Artist yet? Are you qualified to compete!"

"What the hell! Why are you upstairs so hot-headed? Fuck your mother!"

"Don't argue, don't argue! There are quite a few people joining this time, the senior juniors in their third year probably all signed up, right?"

"How could they not sign up! This is the only chance to join the Guard Army! Joining the Guard Army means... I don't know either! Anyway, it's super badass!"

"I wonder what the selection criteria are this year! Last year, out of 100,000 people, only 500 were finally selected. It's too damn ruthless!"

Optimized the reading experience for VIP members, tap the middle of the screen to summon the menu for easy "Settings", "Previous Page", "Next Page", and "Return to Top".

"That goes without saying! The strong stay strong! The Guard Army doesn't need trash! Just the qualification to participate requires a minimum of a Five-Star Martial Artist!"

The Guard Army selection competition...

Lin Chen's gaze shifted, and a trace of yearning appeared in his eyes!

After the spiritual Qi recovery, in order to resist powerful monsters,

powerful existences formed an army to protect the surviving human beings!

Those people huddled in big cities also spontaneously established martial dao bases,

calling the army that protected them the Guard Army!

Everyone took joining the Guard Army as an honor!

The Guard Army took killing monsters as an honor!

With his thoughts running wild, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel his blood boiling!

He pondered that he could find out about this competition when he got the chance.

If he could sneak in, at least his future would be worry-free!

We've arrived!

At this time, driver Old Zhang's voice came over.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he glanced at Lin Chen and said:

"Kid, I counted, the number of people going out today probably doesn't exceed ten. Are you still going out?!"

"This is thunderstorm weather, even monsters will avoid coming out!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly.

Looking at driver Old Zhang in front of him, he said:

"I haven't taken a bath in a month, no matter how big the thunderstorm is, I have to go out!"

As his words fell,

Lin Chen had already rushed toward the outside of the city!

Freak!

Driver Old Zhang shook his head slightly.

Glancing at the departing back, he instinctively wanted to start the car and continue to work.

Yet he suddenly found an extra pack of cigarettes on his seat!

He grinned and said:

"Kid, I'll wait for you to come back..."

The routine check outside the city was completed.

Lin Chen then walked out of the city gate.

Rumble!

The moment he stepped out, a deafening thunderstorm sound reached his ears!

Looking out, the sky outside the city was covered with dark clouds, lightning flashing and thunder rolling!

Strips of purple lightning as thick as water barrels fell from time to time!

Raindrops the size of cobblestones fell in a torrential downpour!

Scouring the battered earth like a hail of bullets!

Except for the white thick fog inside the city, there were no other signs!

This was the defensive network of the Martial Dao Base playing its role.

It was said that this was created by top powerhouses to resist monster attacks and harsh weather!

After all, after the spiritual Qi recovery!

It wasn't just living creatures that mutated, but also these terrifying natural disasters!

With his thoughts running wild, Lin Chen shook his head slightly.

Glancing in the direction of the 0914 Danger Zone, he immediately turned into an afterimage and disappeared!

Inside the Martial Artist Training Ground,

Xiaoyuer glanced at the time.

She couldn't help pacing back and forth outside room 5201.

After waiting for about ten minutes,

an imposing, stalwart, white-haired, smiling old man walked over!

"Granddaughter, what on earth is the matter that you're looking for me?!"

Seeing the old man arrive,

a trace of disgust appeared on Xiaoyuer's exquisite face as she said:

"You're way too slow, old man!"

"It's thunderstorm weather after all," the old man chuckled. "Last night I was having a meeting at the Guang City Martial Dao Base!"

Xiaoyuer uttered an "oh".

Glancing at the old man, she chose to forgive him.

"You look first, and after you look, listen to what I have to say!"

JSON "Anyway, I think this person is a super genius... no... an Awakened!"

An Awakened?

The white-haired old man frowned and said:

"Xiaoyuer, are you serious?"

"Hmph! Could I possibly lie to you?" Xiaoyuer gave a light humph and said!
