The man was stunned.

With suspicion, he asked, "Aren't you here to rent? My house is not for sale."

Hearing this.

Cong Shuang turned to look at the man.

Said indifferently, "In this world, there is nothing that isn't for sale. If it exists, it just means the price isn't right. Try naming a price."

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

Tentatively, he said, "Then... three hundred million?"

This location and area, although good, three hundred million is quite exaggerated.

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

This offer is like a lion's mouth opening wide.

Perhaps it's also to wait for Cong Shuang to negotiate.

So, in fact, he still wanted to sell, just thought that ordinary people couldn't afford it, so he said it wasn't for sale.

Unexpectedly.

Cong Shuang, hearing the price, directly pulled out a money pouch and threw it over.

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

Ah?

The man was stunned, what kind of situation is this?

He glanced into the money pouch, and his pupils instantly shrank.

Three hundred million!

Inside were three hundred million gold coins!

Not a single one missing!

The other party actually didn't haggle!

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

Moreover, to be able to buy a property in such a way, without negotiating, and not blinking at three hundred million, this was definitely not an ordinary person!

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

"Cong Shuang." Cong Shuang casually replied.

The man's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, hurriedly saying, "So, it's Miss Cong, my apologies, my apologies. Alright, I'll go handle the paperwork now, right away..."

After speaking, he went directly to handle the paperwork with Cong Yu's people.

As for Cong Yu.

She sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters opposite.

Since childhood, her dream was to join the Celestial Path Alliance; she worked desperately hard, but also knew that in this world, effort was useless, what mattered was talent!

Fortunately, the profession she ultimately awakened to was a Star Mage, smoothly entering the Tianfu Society.

And with the highest score of the Tianfu Society, she participated in the Hundred Cities League.

For her, winning the championship in the Hundred Cities League should be a sure thing, right?

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran appeared!

The appearance of Lu Ran was actually irrelevant, but an Undead Mage, awakening to a profession at the same starting line as her, and hailing from a third-level main city's slum, managed to gain the status and identity she so longed for in just over twenty days!

This feeling of having one's efforts entirely negated is what she felt the most.

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

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

Lunchtime.

Lu Ran and Su Ting returned to the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters, where the four presidents were already waiting.

Su Ting was about to leave after bringing Lu Ran back.

"Having a meal, where's Sister Tingting going?" Lu Ran asked.

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

"Let's eat together, anyway we have to go together in the afternoon," Lu Ran said.

Su Ting didn't dare agree, subconsciously looking at Yu Qingcang.

The latter nodded, "Su Ting, join us, since Lu Ran said so, do as he says."

This made Su Ting even more surprised, Lu Ran's words were more influential than Yu Qingcang's!

At the dinner table.

"Lu Ran, how does it feel?" Lei Tai asked excitedly.

"Feels, alright?" Lu Ran replied casually.

To be honest, it didn't feel like anything, just one Blood Spear and it was over.

For Lu Ran, what was there to feel, the opponent wasn't even as good as those bosses Lu Ran had fought, easily defeated with a flick of the hand.

The entire Hundred Cities League for Lu Ran was also an easy sweep.

Ignoring what profession, level, or equipment the opponent had, he took them all on!

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

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

"Brother Tai, did you also participate in the Hundred Cities League?" Lu Ran asked with shining eyes.

"Of course, back then, your Brother Tai swept across, invincible, slicing through everything, claiming the championship, the scene, the effect, that..." Lei Tai got excited immediately.

Hearing this, Lu Ran almost got fired up with passion.

At a critical moment.

Ye Hongyi rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be ridiculous, you were just an iron turtle."

Liu Xinxin covered her mouth and chuckled, explaining to Lu Ran, "In that year, your Sister Hongyi and Brother Tai were both contestants. Your Brother Tai, as an Earth Knight, couldn't be shaken by other professions, and eventually wore them down to death. Even when your Sister Hongyi went all out, she couldn't do anything to him. So back then, your Brother Tai's nickname was the Iron Turtle, but ever since he joined the Battle Banner National Defense Army, no one dared to call him that."

Of course.

As the president of the Battle Banner National Defense Army, who would dare call him an iron turtle?

The meal was harmonious and enjoyable.

Su Ting wasn't very interested in eating, always watching the four presidents' reactions.

Seeing their intimacy with Lu Ran, her perception of Lu Ran's status in her mind rose even higher!

She had never seen a newcomer so valued by the four presidents!

After finishing the meal, before leaving.

Yu Qingcang advised, "Perform normally, win the championship, that's basically it, I looked into it for you, although it's vague, but basically it's confirmed that this year's Hundred Cities League, to restore national prestige and morale, the national rewards for the champion are very generous! You'll be in luck then."

Su Ting looked at Yu Qingcang.

Leaving aside the rewards, from what Yu Qingcang said, was the championship for Lu Ran already predetermined?

Were they so confident Lu Ran could cut through obstacles and easily win the championship?

What about Cong Shuang?

Even if not considering Cong Shuang, there were many skilled and uniquely powerful hidden professions from other main cities!

She made up her mind that in this afternoon's second match, she would definitely watch closely and see how Lu Ran fought!

Nearing two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone arrived at the venue.

When Lu Ran entered the arena, the atmosphere around was already different.

"Lu Ran! That's Lu Ran!"

"Eh? It really is the Undead Mage?"

"Isn't that Su Ting from the Celestial Path Alliance next to him? No way!"

"Su Ting was the champion of the Hundred Cities League two years ago!"

"The Celestial Path Alliance has taken notice of this guy!"

"Damn, a favor, definitely a favor!"

"Which ring is Lu Ran at? I really want to see it!"

...

All at once, there were quite a few rumors targeting Lu Ran.

There were even some voices of cursing and insult.

This was normal.

Given the preconceived notion that Lu Ran was a favor, especially in such an important place as the Hundred Cities League.

Of course, he'd be scolded!

But surely soon, they would all be silenced.

In the Hundred Cities League, a favor, wouldn't last long!

Only true strong ones can reach the peak!

"Sister Tingting was the champion of the Hundred Cities League two years ago?" Lu Ran looked at Su Ting with surprise.

"Yes, my opponents weren't strong that year, don't listen to their nonsense, stay calm, and focus on the competition," Su Ting said softly.

But in fact.

Su Ting's name back then wasn't small at all!

In that year, Su Ting competed on behalf of the Imperial Capital and was also a member of the Tianfu Society!
