Lu Ming looked up and was surprised to see that the person shouting to buy Soul Stones at a high price was none other than God Slayer, Moon!

At this moment, God Slayer, Moon's gaze was fixed solely on Lu Ming, as if her words were directed at him!

Seeing the group of level 30+ God Slayer players guarding around God Slayer, Moon, Lu Ming initially didn't want to pay attention to them.

However, as he walked past God Slayer, Moon, he heard her say, "I'll buy them at ten times the market price, interested?"

Lu Ming paused.

He looked at God Slayer, Moon, and asked, "How many do you want to buy?"

God Slayer, Moon crossed her arms, seemingly intending to show off her impressive figure in front of Lu Ming.

Her eyes radiated confidence.

"I'll take as many as you have."

Lu Ming opened his backpack and said bluntly, "I have 1,344 fifth-grade Soul Stones. Since you said you'd buy them at ten times the price, that's 200 each, totaling 268,800."

"142 fourth-grade Soul Stones, 500 each, totaling 71,000."

"I'll give you a discount if you take them all, let's say 340,000."

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the Summoner God Slayer, Dragon, beside God Slayer, Moon, fiddled with his fingers and incredulously asked, "Are you sure you gave a discount?"

Lu Ming coldly glanced at God Slayer, Dragon, who had previously tried to kill him, "Is there a problem?"

For some reason, despite the fact that the other party's level was dozens lower than his, God Slayer, Dragon felt a hint of fear from Lu Ming's gaze!

For a moment, he even regretted almost getting into a fight with this Trickster!

God Slayer, Moon, however, was unusually straightforward, confidently saying to Lu Ming, "Send me your card number."

Without hesitation, Lu Ming reported his bank account number to God Slayer, Moon.

In no time, he received a notification of a 400,000 deposit!

"Consider the extra as a tip for your hard work today."

God Slayer, Moon's tone was casual, her words exuding her boldness and generosity.

But at the same time, it also subtly indicated that she had been secretly watching Lu Ming all day!

Lu Ming handed all the Soul Stones to God Slayer, Moon without a word and left with Lin Youwei.

Lu Ming's attitude only further annoyed God Slayer, Dragon: "Damn brat, he's way too arrogant! Doesn't even show a bit of gratitude, as if it's owed to him!"

God Slayer, Moon was unfazed, her cold eyes revealing an even stronger interest and desire for Lu Ming.

"Guess why, with his skills, he doesn't go to other high-level maps to level up and insists on staying in this Nether Ghost Tower?"

"Why?" God Slayer, Dragon asked.

"Because he needs money!"

God Slayer, Dragon scratched his head, puzzled, "But if he needs money, why did he refuse when you offered him a million salary to join us, God Slayer?"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

God Slayer, Moon replied nonchalantly, "That means Tianxuan offered him more than I did."

"I thought he was a principled person, but I overestimated him. Turns out he's just another money-grubbing commoner."

Watching Lu Ming's figure fade into the distance, God Slayer, Moon snorted coldly, "I'm only afraid he doesn't want money! Since he wants money, things will be much easier."

At this moment, some nearby players saw God Slayer, Moon buying Soul Stones at a high price and gathered around.

"Sis, I have dozens of Soul Stones here, can I sell them to you too? Really ten times the price?"

God Slayer, Moon looked disdainfully at these money-hungry players and said impatiently, "No!"

On the other side.

After walking a distance, Lin Youwei couldn't help but express her joy, "Wow, Nether brother, you just made a lot of money!"

Seeing Lu Ming silent, seemingly not happy about the money he just made, Lin Youwei awkwardly closed her mouth and stopped talking.

Little did she know, Lu Ming was not satisfied at all; in fact, he felt it was far from enough!

He knew God Slayer's intention was to use money to recruit him to work for them.

If it were any other team, Lu Ming wouldn't be tempted by the offer.

But since it was God Slayer's people, Lu Ming saw no need to be polite with them and even wished to exploit them more!

After all, compared to the life he lost in his previous life, this compensation was nothing but a drop in the ocean.

"What you made me lose, I will make you repay a thousandfold!"

Lu Ming recalculated.

With the 400,000 added to his existing balance, his total assets were over 500,000, but he was still more than 800,000 short of the down payment!

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to message Qing Yan: "Can I apply to borrow some money from the team?"

"No problem! How much do you need?" Qing Yan replied almost instantly.

Lu Ming continued, "One million."

"I promise to pay it back within a month."

As Lu Ming was editing a message to prove his ability to repay, he received a reply from Qing Yan before he finished: "Send me your card number."

Lu Ming deleted the unfinished message and sent his card number.

Meanwhile, in the real world.

A girl, wearing rabbit pajamas, sitting cross-legged on a sofa with her phone, entered 2,000,000 on the transfer page.

Recalling the time she transferred 100,000 to Lu Ming and had 90,000 returned, she changed the 2,000,000 to 1,000,000.

Soon, Lu Ming received a text message.

[Your account ending in 649 has received a transfer of 1,000,000 yuan, current balance 1,561,258.3 yuan...]

Lu Ming let out a long sigh of relief.

He sent a two-word message: "Thank you."

At this moment, Lu Ming once again felt the authority that strength brought him!

He remembered in his previous life when Ye Ling'er's father was sick, and he struggled to gather the remaining 20,000 for medical expenses, begging everywhere for a loan, but no one was willing to lend him even a mere 20,000!

It was because Lu Ming at that time was just an ordinary person with only one-star potential.

Now, Lu Ming finally had enough for the 20% down payment.

He immediately messaged the real estate agent: "The money is ready, let's finalize it."

For a house worth over 6 million, the commission was substantial.

The agent's voice message was filled with excitement and respect for Lu Ming, the golden client: "Alright, alright, bro! I'll prepare the contract right away and send someone to pick you up to come to our office to sign the contract!"

After logging off, Lu Ming immediately took a cab to the real estate agency, finalized the contract, and paid the 20% down payment of 1.28 million, plus some taxes and fees, totaling 1.42 million.

Having money indeed makes things easier.

In less than an hour, Lu Ming smoothly moved into his new home!

The real estate agency even helped move his luggage, making it a hassle-free process for Lu Ming!

Standing in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, he could see Wanda Plaza right across the street.

The bustling traffic on the road was silent.

The sunset made the scenery incredibly beautiful!

Sitting on the hanging chair, sipping the Starbucks just delivered by the agency.

Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh, "This is life!"

Just then, Lin Youwei sent a WeChat message: "Nether brother, I'm at the location you sent me, where should I find you now?"

Seeing the time, it was already past six, and it was dinner time.

So, Lu Ming told Lin Youwei, "Wait for me inside Wanda."

"Okay, okay!"

Lu Ming went downstairs and headed to Wanda Plaza across the street.

As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure.

The girl was wearing a white dress with a low ponytail.

Stray hair clung to her fair cheeks.

Her simplicity exuded a pure allure.

Attracting the attention of passersby.

Indeed, Lin Youwei had a certain charm!

Not the kind of stunning beauty that captivates at first sight, but a very pleasant and enduring type.

At this moment, Lin Youwei was holding a pink suitcase, looking around nervously in the unfamiliar place.

Until she saw Lu Ming, her face lit up with a smile.

"Nether brother!"

Lu Ming walked over and took the suitcase from Lin Youwei.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything, whatever Nether brother eats, I'll eat!" Lin Youwei didn't dare to decide.

"Then let's have hot pot."

Coincidentally, Lu Ming was craving it too, so he took Lin Youwei to the Hai Di Lao on the fourth floor.

Beside Lu Ming, Lin Youwei was always very cautious.

When asked to order, she chose only the cheapest vegetables.

Her drink was a three-yuan bottle of cola.

She didn't use the napkins on the table, opting for her own.

Lu Ming couldn't help but think, "Looks like this little one is easy to take care of."

After dinner, Lin Youwei followed Lu Ming to the high-end residential area Jiangshan Wanli across the street.

As she stepped into the spacious four-bedroom apartment, Lin Youwei's mouth dropped open: "Nether brother, is this... your home?"

"Yes, my home." Lu Ming pointed to the second bedroom on the left as they entered and said to Lin Youwei, "You can choose any of the other three."

Lin Youwei was genuinely surprised that Lu Ming had arranged for her to stay in his own home!

And such a luxurious home at that!

For Lin Youwei, who had lived in various rental houses all her life, this was a dream come true.

Lin Youwei chose the first room on the right.

Lu Ming said, "Go ahead and settle in, I'll log in and wait for you. Tonight, we'll clear the first level of the Nether Ghost Tower again."

Lin Youwei nodded, "Okay!"

Life was comfortable, but Lu Ming knew he needed to work even harder to earn money!

Because, aside from the one million borrowed from Qing Yan, Lu Ming still had over 5 million in mortgage debt!

With a monthly payment of over 25,000!

"Keep it up, working man!"

Lu Ming returned to his room, turned on his computer, and logged into Sky Abyss.
