190: Woman, you are in danger!

Chapter 190: Woman, You're in Danger!

The man was startled.

He asked suspiciously, "You're not renting, are you? My house isn't for sale."

Upon hearing this,

Cong Shuang turned to look at the man.

She said indifferently, "In this world, there's nothing that's not for sale. If there is, it just means the chips aren't enough. Try naming a price."

The man looked at Cong Shuang and the attendant behind her.

He tentatively asked, "Then... three hundred million?"

This location and area were indeed very good, but three hundred million was too exaggerated.

The market value here was at most a little over two hundred million.

This asking price was quite a hefty sum.

Perhaps he was waiting for Cong Shuang to bargain.

So, he actually still wanted to sell, but he just thought ordinary people couldn't afford it, which was why he said it wasn't for sale.

But unexpectedly,

When Cong Shuang heard the price, she directly pulled out a money bag and threw it over.

She said, "My people will handle the procedures with you. Now, leave my house."

Huh?

The man was stunned. What kind of situation was this?

He glanced into the money bag, and his pupils immediately constricted.

Three hundred million!

There were three hundred million gold coins inside!

Not a single one missing!

The other party actually didn't bargain!

This was something he hadn't expected, and his head was buzzing.

Moreover, to be able to buy property in this manner, without bargaining, and not batting an eye at three hundred million, this was definitely not an ordinary person!

"May I ask your name?" the man asked tentatively.

"Cong Shuang," Cong Shuang replied casually.

The man's pupils suddenly constricted, and he hastily said, "So it's the Young Miss Cong. My apologies, my apologies. Alright, I'll go handle the procedures right away, right away..."

After speaking, he and Cong Yu's people went directly to handle the procedures.

Meanwhile, Cong Yu

sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the Tiandao Alliance Headquarters across the way.

Since childhood, her dream had been to join the Tiandao Alliance. She worked desperately hard, but she also knew that in this world, effort was useless; talent was needed!

Fortunately, the profession she ultimately awakened was Star Mage, and she successfully entered the Tianfu Association.

And with the highest score from the Tianfu Association, she participated in the Hundred Cities League.

For her, wouldn't the championship of the Hundred Cities League be within her grasp?

But unexpectedly, Lu Ran appeared!

Lu Ran's appearance didn't really matter, but an Undead Mage, who awakened his profession at the same starting line as her, and came from the Poverty Area of a third-tier main city, was able to obtain the status and position she yearned for in just over twenty days!

This feeling of being completely negated after putting in effort was what she felt most keenly.

And because of this, she became curious about Lu Ran.

But no one had ever taught her that when she became curious about a boy, that was when it became dangerous!

Lunch.

Lu Ran and Su Ting returned to the Tiandao Alliance Headquarters, where the four presidents were already waiting.

Su Ting was about to leave after dropping Lu Ran off.

"It's time to eat. Where are you going, Sister Tingting?" Lu Ran asked.

"Oh, to the cafeteria," Su Ting replied.

"Let's eat together. Anyway, we still have to go together this afternoon," Lu Ran said.

Su Ting didn't dare to agree and subconsciously looked at Yu Qingcang.

The latter nodded and said, "Su Ting, come along. Since Lu Ran said so, then do it."

These words made Su Ting even more stunned. Lu Ran's words carried more weight than Yu Qingcang's!

At the dining table.

"Lu Ran, how do you feel?" Lei Tai asked excitedly.

"I feel... alright?" Lu Ran said casually.

To be honest, he didn't feel much; it all ended with just one Blood Spear.

For Lu Ran, what could he feel? The opponent wasn't even as strong as the BOSSes Lu Ran had fought before, just trash that could be instantly killed.

The entire Hundred Cities League was also a series of instant kills for Lu Ran.

He ignored the opponent's profession, level, and equipment, taking them all down!

Even if Cong Shuang came, the result would be the same.

"It's 'alright' for you, but for me back then, it was incredibly difficult," Lei Tai said, shaking his head.

"Brother Tai also participated in the Hundred Cities League?" Lu Ran asked, his eyes lighting up.

"Of course! In that year's session, your Brother Tai here slaughtered all sides, was invincible under heaven, and cut down opponents like chopping melons and vegetables to win the championship. That scene, that effect, that..." Lei Tai immediately got excited.

Lu Ran almost felt his blood boil listening to him.

At the crucial moment,

Ye Hongyi rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, please. You're just an iron turtle."

Liu Xinxin covered her mouth and chuckled, explaining to Lu Ran, "In that year's session, both your Sister Hong and Brother Tai were contestants. Your Brother Tai, as an Earth Knight, was unassailable by other professions, and he eventually wore them all down. Even your Sister Hong, going all out, couldn't do anything to him. So back then, your Brother Tai's nickname was 'Iron Turtle.' But ever since he joined the War Flag National Protection Army, no one dared to call him that anymore."

That's for sure.

As the president of the War Flag National Protection Army, who would dare to call him 'Iron Turtle'?

The meal was filled with joy.

Su Ting had little appetite for food, always paying attention to the reactions of the four presidents.

Seeing their closeness with Lu Ran, her assessment of Lu Ran's position grew even higher!

She had never seen any newcomer so highly regarded by the four presidents!

After dinner, before leaving,

Yu Qingcang also instructed, "Perform normally, win the championship. There's not much else, really. I've inquired for you, and although it's vague, it can basically be concluded that this year's Hundred Cities League, in order to restore national prestige and morale, will have extremely generous rewards from the state for the champion! You'll be blessed then."

Su Ting looked at Yu Qingcang.

Never mind the rewards for now, but listening to Yu Qingcang, did this mean the championship was already set for Lu Ran?

Were they that confident Lu Ran could easily overcome all obstacles and win the championship?

What about Cong Shuang?

Even ignoring Cong Shuang, there were many skilled players and strange but very powerful hidden professions from other main cities!

She made up her mind that in the second match this afternoon, she would watch carefully to see how Lu Ran fought!

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone arrived.

When Lu Ran entered the arena, the atmosphere around him had already changed.

"Lu Ran! He's Lu Ran!"

"Huh? Is he really an Undead Mage?"

"Is that Su Ting from the Tiandao Alliance next to him? Holy cow!"

"Su Ting was the champion of the Hundred Cities League the year before last!"

"The Tiandao Alliance has their eyes on this kid!"

"Damn it, he's a connected person, definitely a connected person!"

"Which arena is Lu Ran in? I want to watch closely!"

...

All of a sudden, there were quite a few rumors and gossip targeting Lu Ran.

There were even many voices of curses and insults.

This was very normal.

Given that everyone had already assumed Lu Ran was a connected person, and in such an important place as the Hundred Cities League,

Of course, he would be cursed at!

But it was believed that soon, they would all shut up.

In the Hundred Cities League, connected people don't go far!

Only true powerhouses can reach the peak!

"Sister Tingting was the champion of the Hundred Cities League the year before last?" Lu Ran asked, surprised, looking at Su Ting.

"Yes, in my session, the opponents weren't strong. Don't listen to their nonsense. Stay calm and focus on the competition," Su Ting said softly.

But in reality,

Su Ting's reputation back then was definitely not small!

In that session, Su Ting represented the Imperial Capital and was also a member of the Tianfu Association!
