A young female waitress approached.

She handed Xue Bufu another pair of chopsticks and asked with a trembling voice, “Do you… do you have any complaints?” She was frightened when she saw Xue Bufu breaking two chopsticks with one hand, thinking that there might be something wrong with the food.

Xue Bufu: “I hope you drag them out!”

Of course, this was his inner monologue.

His face, however, showed no expression as he casually said, “It’s nothing, just a hand cramp.”

The people around: ….

After this small incident, Chen Xing finally remembered that he hadn’t finished his meal yet and started eating.

【 Burp~ 】

The voice of the system suddenly sounded.

“Are you trying to disgust me?”

【 It’s your fault for feeding me, isn’t it? 】

“…”

【 Ding dong~ Congratulations, Host, on achieving the B-rank Spirit Master title! At the same time, you have unlocked all the rewards for titles before B-rank! 】

After finishing his meal, Xue Bufu quickly stood up.

“You’re leaving, teacher Xue?”

“Mhm.” After saying that, Xue Bufu quickly paid the bill and left this troublesome place.

‘Both of you, please don’t end up in my class.’ Xue Bufu cursed inwardly and prayed in his heart.

【 Xue Bufu: A-rank Spirit Master 】

【 Occupation: Instructor of the Intermediate Combat Skills Class at the World Combat Tournament Training Academy 】

…

While Zero ate her meal slowly and chewed carefully, she finished the noodles faster than Chen Xing. After finishing, she propped up her little face and quietly looked at him.

Seeing her expression, Chen Xing asked, “Huh? Do you still want to eat?”

“I’m full!”

“Oh?” After hearing her response, Chen Xing smirked and looked at her little belly.

Zero saw his mischievous smile, her face turned red, and she quickly covered her belly. “No peeking!”

“Haha…” Chen Xing chuckled lightly and hastened to finish his meal.

Hurrying up so that they could go buy a house and some furtniture in the afternoon. Then they would be able to… hehe…

Slurp~

“Let’s go.”

The total cost for two bowls of noodles was 45 crystal coins.

The World Combat Tournament Training Academy was located in Kyoto, not far from East River City. The two cities were adjacent, but Kyoto was a first-tier city in reality. It ranked among the top in terms of prosperity worldwide.

To make it more convenient for their future studies, Chen Xing and Zero decided to find a house near the academy after discussing it.

They took a taxi to Serene Haven, the famous residential area in Kyoto. The housing prices here could be described in one word: damn expensive!

Starting from 100,000 crystal coins per square meter.

First, the location was excellent, surrounded by commercial areas. Second, the transportation was convenient. Third, there were many schools in the vicinity, ranging from primary to high schools. Fourth, the environment was excellent and the greenery coverage was extensive.

There was a large lake in the center of the community, named Serene Lake. It had a vast area with sparkling blue waves. Of course, the houses near the lake were more expensive.

It is worth mentioning that in this world, there are two types of currency. One is Spirit Points, and the other is Crystal Coins.

Spirit Points can be used for payment and also for evolving Spirit Users. Generally, people are unwilling to use Spirit Points for regular payments because a Spirit User needs a large amount of Spirit Points in the later stages. And the transactions involving Spirit Users and some special deals can only be done with Spirit Points.

Crystal Coins, on the other hand, can only be used for payment.

However, whether it’s mission rewards or tournament prizes, Spirit Points are always given more than Crystal Coins. So many active Spirit Masters may have a lot of Spirit Points but not as many Crystal Coins. Unless they engage in business, that’s where one can earn more Crystal Coins.

And Chen Xing’s system is the opposite, having more Crystal Coins than Spirit Points.

“It’s expensive here!” Zero checked with her Spirit System and felt a bit reluctant.

“It’s okay. If we’re going to live together, let’s live in a better place. I can’t afford a villa now, but when we get married, we’ll definitely buy a big one!” Chen Xing said.

Zero blushed a little. “We don’t need to buy a big one…”

“That won’t do. If we buy a small one, it’ll be uncomfortable for several children to squeeze into one room later.”

Zero blushed and looked at Chen Xing. She felt a little scared in her heart, but also a little hopeful: Is he suggesting that I should have several children!?

Seeing her silence, Chen Xing asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zero quickly shook her little head. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing!…”

Afterward, the two of them walked into the sales office.

The lobby of the sales office was quite impressive. Although it was expensive here, there were still many people coming to view the houses. Regardless of whether they intended to buy or not, it was worth visiting one of the best residential areas in Kyoto to broaden their horizons.

With more people coming to view, the sales staff had already developed the ability to judge people. For some people, with just one glance, they could tell if they were potential buyers. They would rush to serve them, attending to their every need.

For some people, with just one glance, they could tell that they couldn’t afford it. They would let the customers wander around freely since the price tags were clear, knowing that they would leave without making a purchase.

As for Chen Xing and Zero, it was obvious that they were just two kids. What money could they possibly have? Based on their appearance, they didn’t look like wealthy second-generation individuals either. So no one bothered to pay attention to them.

Chen Xing and Zero didn’t mind. They walked to the center of the hall where many people were gathered. There was a large-scale model of the residential area, meticulously designed in proportion.

Chen Xing looked at Zero, who was holding his arm. “You pick one.”

But Zero shook her head. “You choose. I’ll follow your lead.”

“Well, I don’t know how to choose either. I’ve never bought a house… Let’s find someone to introduce it to us.” They walked towards a male salesperson who seemed to be idling around.

When the salesperson saw Chen Xing and Zero approaching, he frowned and thought about running away. He had been reprimanded by his supervisor earlier in the morning, feeling quite unhappy, so he had been slacking off. He didn’t want to deal with customers.

Seeing his reaction, Chen Xing was puzzled and quickly called out to him, “Wait!”

The people around heard his call and turned to look.

The salesperson looked helpless and stopped in his tracks. He put on a professional smile and said, “Hello, may I help you with anything?”

Chen Xing glanced at his name tag:

Sales Consultant: Wang Yu, Employee ID: 38250

“Could you introduce some options to us? We are interested in buying a one-bedroom apartment.”

Upon hearing Chen Xing’s words, Wang Yu couldn’t help but feel disdainful: Do these two brats not look at the prices? They have no idea about the price range here. They probably can’t even afford a restroom.

However, he maintained a polite demeanor on the surface and said, “I’m sorry, sir, but all the one-bedroom apartments in the Serene Haven have been sold out.”

“But we do have two-bedroom apartments available. Some of the layouts are slightly smaller, but the prices are similar to those of the one-bedroom apartments.”

“Uh… never mind then.” Chen Xing finished speaking and started to walk away with Zero.

“Let’s go, Zero.”

“Yes!” Although Zero didn’t understand why Chen Xing was insistent on a one-bedroom apartment, she also wanted to leave. She felt that the place was too expensive.

Wang Yu coldly watched their backs, let out a mocking laugh, and concluded in his mind that they must be two poor idiots. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they buy when the prices were similar? He probably brought his girlfriend here to show off in front of her.

He muttered under his breath, “Two poor idiots, pretending so much.”

The lobby was crowded, so he spoke quietly. But Chen Xing’s hearing was extraordinary!

He immediately halted, turned around, and gave him a cold stare. “What did you say?”

Startled by the situation, Wang Yu thought to himself, WTF? Does he have such good hearing?

The confrontation between Chen Xing and Wang Yu quickly caught the attention of the people around them. Wang Yu didn’t dare to confront him in front of everyone. He had just been scolded by his supervisor in the morning, and getting into trouble again would be disastrous!

So he pretended that nothing happened. “What? I didn’t say anything.”

At that moment, a tall and well-proportioned woman in professional attire entered the sales office lobby. Her demeanor was noticeably different from the other sales consultants. She was beautiful and had a good figure. Every move she made exuded an aura of a strong and confident woman. Upon entering, she noticed the strange atmosphere in the lobby and quickly identified Chen Xing and Wang Yu as the center of the conflict. She walked directly towards them.

When Wang Yu saw this woman, his face immediately turned ugly. He started to panic because she was his superior, Sales Manager Chen Xin.

Chen Xin strode over in her high heels, with an imposing demeanor, and positioned herself between Chen Xing and Wang Yu. She smiled and lightly opened her lips, saying, “Sir, may I help you with anything?” Her voice was very pleasant to the ear.

Zero looked up and thought to herself, ‘What a beautiful sister…’

Chen Xin also looked at Zero and couldn’t help but admire, “This little sister is so cute.”

Then Zero looked at Chen Xing, who was looking expressionless at the beautiful sister in front of him. She couldn’t help but wonder in her heart, ‘Does Chen Xing think she’s prettier than me?’

Chen Xing glanced coldly at Chen Xin and said indifferently, “There’s nothing we need help with, but you should change your salesperson.” With that, he started to walk away with Zero. He didn’t want to bother with this anymore; he had other things to deal with.

Chen Xin was somewhat surprised by Chen Xing’s expression. To be honest, there were very few men who could resist giving her a second look with her appearance. But when Chen Xing looked at her, she felt that he had no interest in her at all.

Without Chen Xing saying anything, Chen Xin could probably guess what had happened. It must have been an issue with Wang Yu’s service attitude. However, she didn’t try to stop Chen Xing. To be honest, she also thought that Chen Xing and Zero couldn’t afford the houses here. Just as she was about to turn around and give Wang Yu a good scolding, a startled exclamation came from behind.

“Zero! What are you doing here?” A man stood in front of Chen Xing and Zero, looking at Zero with a surprised expression on his face. Chen Xing glanced at Zero and noticed that she also looked surprised.

He felt a hint of confusion in his heart: Who is this person?

“Brother Feifei? What are you doing here?”

“What a coincidence! Long time no see, Zero!”

Chen Xing looked at the astonished Zero and felt a surge of jealousy in his heart!

Brother Feifei? Calling him so intimately?!

How infuriating!!! This can’t be tolerated!!!
