CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 51: SURPRISE

Lin Feng and Gao Hai returned to the gate of the community, it was already almost half-past ten.

"Why did you come back so late?" Under the reproachful gaze of the security guard, the two swiped their cards and walked into the community.

The night was bright, apart from the glow of the moonlight reflected on the Blue Moon Barrier, the community was pitch-black, not even a ghost shadow was around.

Breathing in the air, Lin Feng furrowed his brow.

Even though Awakening Day had passed for three days, the pungent smell of blood had not dissipated, and there was a faint scent of disinfectant mixed in, the combination of these two smells was nauseating.

"Brother Feng, if the netizens find out your endorsement fee is as high as 18 million, they’re probably going to go crazy."

"Starting to take advertisements in senior year, I bet others won’t believe it if you say it out loud!"

Gao Hai seemed very excited all the way, as if he had endless things to say.

"That’s true." Lin Feng laughed too.

Originally, the pressure from the money had been weighing him down a bit, but now that the pressure was gone, he felt significantly more relaxed.

"Brother Feng, after earning such a big sum, what’s the first thing you’d like to do?"

"First, move into the Inner City. Living in the Outer City is really inconvenient."

"Moving? Makes sense. Which neighborhood are you planning to buy, let me stay a few days when you move."

"The sooner, the better. I’ll go look at houses tomorrow."

"Once you move, we won’t be able to go to school together anymore."

Discussing this topic, the excited Gao Hai became slightly despondent.

Of course, Gao Hai was happy for Lin Feng to prosper and move to the Inner City.

On the Awakening Day at sixteen, refining the long-awaited Demon Spirit to become a Demon Spirit Master surpassing Martial Artists was the dream of the two brothers.

After becoming a Demon Spirit Master, getting into one of the Nine Elite Joint Schools, graduating, finding a good job, making money, moving into the Inner City, and changing the family’s living status—that was their goal in life.

Now Song of Solomon has achieved it, signing with the Juxing Club, soon to likely be admitted into one of the Three Heroic Academies.

Although Lin Feng hasn’t refined a Demon Spirit, it’s because he looks down on them; he wants to refine the Earth Chart Demon Spirit. While still in senior year, he can do endorsements, and his fee is a staggering 18 million, not many can compare.

The two best friends who grew up together have soared, living an elite lifestyle. Only Gao Hai, though becoming a Demon Spirit Master, has refined only the Second Grade Strong Demon Bull.

Compared to others, becoming a Demon Spirit Master is indeed fortunate, yet compared to Lin Feng and Song of Solomon, he remains obscure as before.

"I fear I’ll never be able to move into the Inner City in this lifetime." Gao Hai bitterly smiled to himself.

"Aren’t you going to school with me?"

Lin Feng could feel Gao Hai’s despondency and asked curiously.

"You’re in the Inner City, I’m in the Outer City, how do we go to school together?"

Gao Hai said lowly.

Going to school and leaving school together with Lin Feng had become a habit since childhood.

Beyond feeling lost, he was worried their relationship would drift apart over time.

Once Lin Feng signs with a club and gets into one of the Three Heroic Academies, the distance between them will only grow.

"Haha."

Lin Feng smiled slightly, deciding not to tease Gao Hai anymore, and laughed: "Tomorrow we’ll move together."

"Move together?"

Gao Hai was still a bit unresponsive: "Aren’t you going house shopping tomorrow? How come moving so soon."

Lin Feng hooked Gao Hai’s shoulder, laughed: "I mean, you’re moving into the Inner City with me!"

Gao Hai looked shocked, he could hardly believe his ears.

"What do you mean?"

Gao Hai suddenly looked up at Lin Feng, seemingly understanding something, but still in disbelief.

"This money belongs to you too."

Lin Feng said as he walked: "Tomorrow, let’s go to the Inner City to look at houses together, one for each of us brothers."

Lin Feng has the huge sum of 18 million, originally all for preparing to refine the Nightmare.

million purchasing Qi and Blood Pill and Soul Nourishing Pill, 5 million was backup to hire a Five Tier Spirit Series Demon Spirit Master for protection.

But at the time, Lin Feng’s worst-case scenarios were budgeted based on a maximum period of two months.

But now, only three days have passed, he’s not only broken through to Body Cultivator Eighth Rank, his Qi and blood are much fuller than before.

Currently, the Nightmare inside Lin Feng’s body hasn’t been assimilated too much by his blood, refining it now might not require ten million worth of pills, probably saving 3 million, even bypassing the 5 million fee to hire the Spirit Series Demon Spirit Master.

In other words, Lin Feng still has 800,000 after deducting 10 million for refining the Nightmare.

And this 800,000 he’s planning to use for buying houses, first changing the living environment.

"I only put in 500, Brother Feng, I can’t accept..." Gao Hai quickly shook his head, refused.

Admittedly, he was really tempted, after all, moving to the Inner City had been his lifelong wish with his family.

But he had only given Lin Feng 500 yuan at the time, exchanging 500 for a house?

Though he didn’t know which community or how big a house Lin Feng was planning to buy, even the cheapest house in the Inner City costs two to three million.

The money was too much, he couldn’t accept it.

"We’re brothers, what’s mine is yours." Lin Feng laughed.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Gao Hai slightly lowered his head, his eyes red, not daring to speak for fear he’d burst into tears.

"Why are you so moved?"

Seeing Gao Hai looking as if he’d cry, Lin Feng found it amusing and scolded him: "Are you forgetting who I am, South Yeqiu, North Linfeng? If Yeqiu signs with Thunder, earning three billion a year, could I Lin Feng fall short, do I care about this one house?"

Though knowing Lin Feng was comforting him, it seemed like quite reasonable logic.

With that said, Gao Hai felt much better, he held back his tears: "Thank you, Brother Feng."

"Say no more, tomorrow we’ll pick a house."

"Not bringing the family along?"

In Gao Hai’s view, buying a house is a big deal, it’s better with family involved.

"No need, giving them a surprise." Lin Feng chuckled: "Alright, I’m home, see you tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Gao Hai watched Lin Feng walk up the dim staircase, delayed without moving, as the tears he had held back now rushed forth.

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

Gao Hai murmured, only after a long while did he head home, wiping off the tears from his face, leaving behind only hopeful anticipation for the future.

Click!

Lin Feng gingerly opened the door, careful not to make noise that would awake his big sister or little sister sleeping in the living room.

After changing into slippers and walking into the living room, under the dim candlelight, he unexpectedly found his family all waiting on the couch, not having gone to sleep.

"You’re back!"

Seeing her son return, Lin Fang, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Though Lin Feng had called earlier to say he wouldn’t come back for dinner, coming back so late inevitably worried his mother.

"Good you’re back, did you eat?" Big sister Lin Kerou, though groggy, still forced herself to ask.

"I did, why didn’t you guys sleep, waiting for me?" "Your mom was worried, we just chatted." Old Ma explained.

Early today, the ’High Schooler Beats Martial Artist’ post skyrocketed to top the daily chart, the entire community knew it, Old Ma included.

More so, Lin Feng’s arena match made it onto the evening news today!

Old Ma never thought Lin Feng was this strong, even First Grade Martial Artists were no match, although many questioned Lin Feng’s Soul Cultivation talent, Old Ma chose to believe in Lin Feng.

They stayed up late worrying that the online criticism and insults might pressure Lin Feng.

"Xiaofeng, maybe you should skip going to the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo tomorrow."

Lin Fang hesitated before saying, noticing Lin Feng’s composure.

She only heard from neighbors today about Lin Feng causing such a stir.

She browsed the Martial Artist forum’s posts, the forum’s questions, insults, and jeers made her extremely worried.

She worried Lin Feng couldn’t handle such pressure, fearing an incident.

In less than three months, there’s the college entrance exam, crucial for a lifetime.

Lin Feng understood the family’s concerns.

Initially, he planned to surprise them after purchasing the house, but seeing their concern, he chuckled, sharing news that shocked everyone.

"I’ve sold the ad spots!"
