When Mu Chen arrived at the lobby, he saw the wild receptionist carrying a box of personal items as she walked out dejectedly.
She had just found out what kind of losses her actions had brought to the club.
When she saw Mu Chen, she thought that he was here to humiliate her. She did not expect him to have forgotten about her.
Mu Chen was worried about the fans and media reporters who had surrounded the Wild Waves Club's entrance.
Once he went on the media today, the Lin family of Donghai would know that the three-man mercenary group had failed. There would definitely be follow-up measures.
Thinking of this, he decisively turned around and walked towards the club's fire escape.
A few minutes later, Mu Chen returned to the hall of the Ability Exchange.
Holding the 20,000 yuan prize money that he had yet to warm up, he hesitated for a while and decided to spend 3,000 yuan to buy ten " Wisdom of Dolphins " instead of the " Ocean Life " he had previously imagined.
Just now, he had used the Mirage Realm five times in a row, which made him feel that his spiritual power was severely overdrawn.
If the team competition didn't only have five matches, if the opponent wasn't so weak, he wouldn't have had the chance to defeat them.
According to the character panel provided by the system, his intelligence attribute was 5 5.
The front was his basic value, and the back was the special ability bonus provided by " Dolphin's Wisdom."
Now was the time to see the specific effects of the superpowers.
He took the ten special ability seeds that he had just obtained and ignored the system's absorption notification. He quietly hid in the bathroom of the special ability exchange and swallowed one special ability first.
A cool energy surged into his head and he quickly absorbed it.
" Absorbed 'Dolphin's Wisdom' ability, Grade Gray 1.”
Looking at the Character Summon Card again, the stats had changed to Wisdom: 5 6。
Moreover, Mu Chen could clearly feel that his mind had become clearer, and the fatigue from the battle had also subsided a lot.
Next, he ate the remaining nine energy seeds like jelly beans and swallowed them all in a flash.
After a series of system notifications, the " Pufferhead's Wisdom " finally went from gray to 9.
"Absorbed 'Dolphin's Wisdom' ability. Grade upgraded to White.”
His Intelligence attribute jumped to 5 20, an additional 5 points, probably due to the increase in quality.
The system's judgment that it could increase the quality of his supernatural ability had been verified. Mu Chen looked at the remaining 10,000 yuan and began to consider what he should buy next.
It would cost 14,000 yuan to upgrade Ocean Life to green quality, but it could only provide defense and evasion rate.
Sigh, money really doesn't last long.
After much consideration, Mu Chen gave up on Ocean Life and spent 6,000 yuan to buy ten pieces of Bear's Strength and Leopard's Agility to improve his attributes.
Then, he bought another " Wisdom of the Dolphin " to see if there was still room for improvement.
After spending more than 6,000 yuan, he still had 10,000 yuan on him, and his character panel had been upgraded.
Character: Mu Chen
[Aptitude: Poor]
[Ability Slots: 5]
[Ability slot 1: Bear Power]
[Rarity: White]
[Ability slot 2: Leopard's Agility]
[Rarity: White]
[Ability Tree 3: Water]
[Ability slot 4: Phosphorescence]
[Rarity: White]
[Ability slot 5: Mirage]
[Rarity: Purple]
[Strength: 5 30]
[Agility: 5 30]
[Intelligence: 5 21]
[System prompt: The first three measurements are the character's own data, and the last are the special ability bonuses.]）
[Ability Tree 3: Water]
[Ability: Dolphin's Wisdom]
[Rarity: White 0.1]
[Ability: Ocean Life]
[Rarity: White 3]
For the first time, his aptitude had changed from extremely poor to poor. His Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence had all increased, and the related abilities that supported these three attributes had also increased to white quality.
What made Mu Chen the most speechless was that the quality of the Dolphin's Wisdom had become White 0.1.
0.1 What the hell…
Alright, it wasn't that hard to understand. This meant that he needed to absorb a hundred gray quality " Pig's Wisdom " to further raise the quality of this Esper Ability to green.
How much would this cost?
Thirty thousand!
When he thought of this number and looked at the remaining 10,000 yuan in his hand, Mu Chen suddenly remembered the ancient saying," The road ahead is long and arduous. I will search for it from top to bottom."
I'm really too southern.
If he wanted to upgrade all his white Esper Abilities to green quality, Mu Chen would need to prepare at least 100,000 yuan. This would require him to win at least five team competitions as a celebrity player.
As for Kaiyuan City's lowest-level ability fighting competition, the team competition frequency was twice a week.
If he wanted to live a decent life, he had to at least be dressed in green.
This was the saying of the special ability combat world.
However, there was a more realistic problem in front of Mu Chen. He had the threat of the Lin family of the East Ocean behind him, so he needed to increase his strength without delay.
Seeing that it was only Thursday and the next team competition would be held on Sunday afternoon, Mu Chen temporarily gave up on the idea of continuing to improve and decided to go home first.
After a while, Mu Chen returned to Ye Lan's house. He reached out to feel around and realized that he did not have the key.
That's right. They weren't a real family to begin with. Why would he take her house key?
He pressed the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened. Behind the door, Lin Xiaoou's face was dark.
Mu Chen was about to walk past her into the house when he heard,""Mu, you still have the face to come back!”
Finally, it came.
Mu Chen stopped in his tracks, ready to hear what she had to say.
"Since there's no one at home, I have to make things clear to you! I'm determined not to let Xiao Lan marry you! Even if you secretly registered, I won't acknowledge you as my son-in-law!”
It's not like that in the first place. Do you think I'm willing?
Whoever met such a powerful and mean mother-in-law like you would be extremely unlucky.
Mu Chen did not say anything, but he could not help but complain in his heart.
Lin Xiaoou couldn't hear Mu Chen's thoughts and continued,""You're eating at my house and staying at my house. If I were you, I would move out immediately!”
At this point, Mu Chen had no reason to back down." If it weren't for Ye Lan, do you think I would want to stay here? I'm not your live-in son-in-law. Since you're not willing, I'll move immediately.”
"Move immediately? Haha!" Lin Xiaoou pointed at Mu Chen's nose like a shrew and scolded him." You're just a poor kid. Where can you move to? I think you're planning to sleep on the floor under the bridge, right?”
She continued,"How about this? I'll give you a chance. Divorce my daughter immediately. I'll give you 10,000 yuan as a breakup fee!”
I'll give you 10,000 yuan. How about you sever your mother-daughter relationship with Ye Lan?
Goddess Lan must have had a hard time with a mother like you.
If it were not for the fact that he wanted to help Ye Lan escape the marriage alliance, Mu Chen would have fallen out with Lin Xiaoou immediately.
He looked at Lin Xiaoou coldly and took out his phone to video call Zhang Shuifeng.
A few seconds later, Zhang Shuifeng's oily face appeared on the screen." Mr. Mu, you're looking for me?”
Mu Chen did not want to talk too much about supernatural combat over the phone, so he went straight to the point." Does the house you promised this morning count? I plan to move in immediately."
"Sure, sure! You're welcome anytime! As long as you stay here for a day, you can live in that house as you please. If you're willing to sign a five-year contract with me, I can transfer the ownership of the house to you directly!”
If Mu Chen could be tied to the Tide-listening Club for five years, he would definitely be able to recoup the cost of a few million yuan for a house.
Although Fatty Zhang did not know how strong Mu Chen was or how he had won, he was very clear about his opponent's strength.
The Wild Waves Club could be said to be the strongest group of people in the lowest level competitions in Kaiyuan City. They were completely capable of playing in the higher level competitions.
The fact that Mu Chen could crush them was enough to explain everything.
Therefore, when they signed the contract in the morning, Zhang Shuifeng had hoped to sign a long-term contract with Mu Chen from the start. However, Mu Chen only agreed to sign it for a year.
The Tidal Club was almost at the bottom of Kaiyuan City. Mu Chen hoped to advance to high-level competitions as soon as possible instead of wasting his time at the bottom.
If Ting Chao couldn't keep up with him, she could only apologize to Zhang Shuifeng.
Mu Chen smiled and did not agree." We'll talk about it later. Send me the address. I'll pack up and head over immediately."”
Lin Xiaoou was stunned from the beginning to the end, especially after seeing the address sent by Zhang Shuifeng.
Although the Ye Family was a family with some status in Kaiyuan City, Ye Lan's father, Ye Chong, was only a side branch of the Ye Family. He had to rely on himself for everything.
The house they were living in now was bought by the couple who had worked hard to save money. The mortgage would take 30 years to pay off.
However, Mu Chen only needed to sign a five-year contract and he would immediately get a house.
Moreover, from the address, the neighborhood where the house was located was a grade higher than the Ye family's house. The price of the house was more than a million yuan higher.
What was happening?
Lin Xiaoou stood at the entrance in a daze.
Half an hour later, Mu Chen arrived at a high-class apartment by the sea with only a few sets of clothes.
Zhang Shuifeng was already waiting for him there with a flattering look on his face, bringing him upstairs to look at the house.
The house wasn't very big. It was just a one-story apartment with an area of less than 100 square meters. The living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathroom were downstairs, and there were three bedrooms and a gym upstairs.
All kinds of household appliances were readily available. Mu Chen did not need to prepare them. He only needed to buy some personal necessities.
The key was that the location of this suite was very good. It faced the sea, and the island where the Thousand Islands Base and the white dimensional cave were located was also in sight.
This was the so-called luxury sea-view room. The price per square meter was more than 100,000 yuan, which was definitely not something that the working class could afford.
Mu Chen was quite satisfied with this and even thought of signing a long-term contract with Zhang Shuifeng.
Of course, he knew that this house was not that easy to get. Even if he signed a long-term contract, it would only be transferred after five years, which was equivalent to an annual contract fee of 1.5 million yuan.
As a newbie who had just entered the special ability combat circle, this kind of treatment was very high, but compared to the high-level competition, it was not enough.
Mu Chen suppressed the restlessness in his heart. After chatting with Zhang Shuifeng for a while, he sent him away.
He had just gotten some free time when a call came in. It was Ye Lan.
"Where are you? I'm here to pick you up."
Mu Chen felt a little awkward facing Ye Lan. He could not explain himself for running away without saying anything." Erm, listen to me..."
"You don't have to explain. I understand. I've made you suffer! My mother forced you to leave. I apologize on her behalf. I'll take you home now."
As expected of an icy goddess, she had the air of a domineering CEO when she opened her mouth.
It seemed that Ye Lan already knew about Mu Chen's move, but Lin Xiaoou obviously did not tell her the whole truth.
"There's no need to apologize. It's her right to be dissatisfied with me. Moreover, our relationship is indeed not like that. I have a place to live now. The house is not bad.”
"But how can a husband and wife not live together? If others knew, they would definitely be suspicious.”
Ye Lan was still worried about him, which disappointed Mu Chen.
He did not want to be the kind of spare tire that came and went at his beck and call, an existence that specifically solved the goddess 'problems.
Even if his real identity was a " male best friend," their relationship should be equal.
I'll help you resolve the crisis. Even if you can't help me, at least don't make it too hard for me to face your mother's stinky face all day.
Mu Chen wondered what he was thinking in the past. Why would he agree to help such an unreliable person and almost lose his life?
This was the fate of bootlickers. They would end up with nothing.
Fortunately, it was not too late for Mu Chen to wake up. He did not want to continue suffering.
However, he had to help her to the end. At least in his memory, Ye Lan had taken good care of him during this period of time.
Hence, Mu Chen interrupted her." Why don't you move in? I have a lot of rooms here. It's not a problem for one person to have one room.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and sent the address.
