Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

After silently reciting the mantra, the two remained silent.

Ten minutes later, their bowls were empty.

"Seriously, are you sure you're okay? My dad has some hired players who can definitely help you level up."

Lu Ze had a serious expression; his purpose in coming here was to help his friend.

But Chu Ci shook his head.

"Thank you so much, my dear son, but your father can manage perfectly well on his own."

"Hey! Now's not the time to be tough."

Seeing that the other person didn't believe her, Chu Ci decided to change the subject.

"By the way, I haven't asked before, but you should have awakened your talent before me, right? Could you reveal some details about your talent? If not, never mind."

At this point, Lu Ze perked up.

That's right, he is indeed a few days older than Chu Ci, so logically the other party should call him brother.

He crossed his arms and looked at Chu Ci with a proud expression.

"Hmph, call me Brother Lu and I'll tell you."

"Tch, fine, don't tell me then, I'm leaving."

Seeing Chu Ci stand up from her seat, Lu Ze immediately tried to persuade her to stay.

"Hey, you can't take a joke, can you? Wait, sit down! Sit down! Okay, I told you so, okay?"

"That's more like it."

"This guy!" Lu Ze sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, I didn't want to create distance between us, but you insisted on asking. Since that's the case..."

A silver-white longsword appeared in his hand, its blade engraved with pale silver patterns that shimmered with light.

"The Nameless Sword Heart can amplify the damage of attacks by 3 times when stored within the body. It can also be taken out and used as a personal weapon when in danger, and its effect can be increased by 10 times for a short period of time."

"This is my talent."

. . .

Damn it, this guy got away with it.

I'm done playing, I'm leaving!

Of course, I'm just kidding.

"Then let's try arm wrestling. Let me see how much you've improved these past few days."

"OK."

Snapped!

Their right hands clasped together.

"I said 3, 2, 1, then we'll start."

"3, 2, 1!"

The two of them simultaneously increased the pressure on their hands, raising the strength of their hands to 20 points in just a few seconds.

Chu Ci glanced at Lu Ze. "Holding back? Or do you want to test my strength?"

He couldn't believe that the other party, who had awakened so many days earlier than him, only had this level of ability.

Moreover, judging from the talent mentioned earlier, Nameless Sword Heart is definitely among the most powerful talents.

Very quickly, their strength increased to 30 points, 40 points, and 50 points!

Lu Ze looked slightly surprised.

"Looks like this guy really has skill. Let me see just how much you've improved in one night."

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.

boom!

Chu Ci's arm was suddenly pressed down, and his face was filled with regret.

"What a pity, I still suffered from awakening later than you. How about it, big brother? You've seen my strength, haven't you?"

50 strength points? Did he leave the starting village in one night? He's almost catching up with me now.

Lu Ze looked the other person up and down, his eyes full of disbelief, but it was indeed the truth.

"Hey! Don't be so disgusting, okay? You're a grown man, don't stare at me like that, it makes me physically uncomfortable."

Unusually, Lu Ze did not retort; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

"Good son, I was worried about you just now, thinking you were just putting on a brave face. Now it seems you're only a little bit weaker than me, so I'm relieved."

"you**!"

Bang! Lu Ze placed a card-like object on the table, interrupting Chu Ci's outburst of profanity.

"This is the room key for the Binhai Lijiang residential area in the center of Lanhai. Since you refused my help, as your brother, I should help you out in your daily life. You can live there from now on. Consider this house a gift from your brother."

A coastal Lijiang? Does Lanhai City even have such a place?

As a native of Lanhai, Chu Ci didn't even know where this place was.

"Is this house very valuable?"

Lu Ze shrugged.

"It's alright, only 30 gold coins per square meter. But this is the highest housing price in Lanhai City, after all, it's not a big city."

"You know my dad does this kind of work, he has a lot of these room cards, and the set I gave you is the best I have."

"The area is about 400 square meters, three floors. You can decide how to tidy it up yourself. Anyway, everything has been arranged for you. Come on, I'll take you around to familiarize yourself with the place."

"Uncle Kui! We'll be leaving now!"

After saying goodbye, Lu Ze left the store with Chu Ci.

Outside the gate, a brand-new silver supercar was parked, its sleek lines attracting the attention of many passersby.

As soon as the two approached, the car doors on both sides slowly opened, and a soft female voice came from inside the car.

Welcome, Master.

"Okay, go to Residence No. 301, Binhai Lijiang".

[Route already planned.]

boom!

A powerful surge of acceleration, accompanied by a roaring sound, propelled the two of them straight forward.

Despite its high speed, the car was clearly equipped with advanced intelligent autonomous driving technology, and nothing went wrong.

About 20 minutes later, the two saw a huge lake in the city.

The lake water is clear and bright, and from a distance, several bridges connect the island in the lake to the city.

The faint outline of the buildings above immediately caught Chu Ci's attention.

"Is that the so-called coastal Lijiang?"

"Yes, the residential areas in Binhai Lijiang are never sold to the public. The people who can live here are all important figures in Lanhai City. My father participated in the construction here, so he also received a part of the residence."

The silver light sped across the bridge, and soon they arrived at their destination, where the sports car came to a smooth stop.

[Master, we have arrived at residential area 301.]

"Let's go in and take a look."

The two walked through a small garden and swiped their cards to enter the house.

Three-story villas are common here, and each residential area is hundreds of meters apart, so you don't see many people.

Upon reaching the second floor, the two stood on the spacious balcony, facing the lake. The water shimmered during the day, bringing a sense of visual tranquility.

"You can stay here from now on. If you need anything, you can contact someone or me."

"Don't bring those tattered clothes or anything like that. Everything you need is prepared here."

"By the way, speaking of which, you should have left the starting village by now, right? Let's add each other as friends, that way it'll be easier for us to stay in touch in 'God Realm'... Hey! Are you staring blankly?"

Lu Ze waved his hand in front of Chu Ci, and Chu Ci finally came back to her senses.

He never dared to dream of living in such a place before, but now he can easily move in.

The two quickly became friends.

"Is this a poisonous name? What kind of weird name is this?"

Faced with Lu Ze's complaints, Chu Ci looked at her friends list speechlessly.

[An anonymously handsome guy]

I once thought of a really cool name, but now I think it would have been better to use a name that sounds like "poison" instead.

"How about it? Doesn't my name sound cool?"

"I can't tell if he's handsome or not, but he's definitely a bit of a sly fox."

"You! Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with a rebellious son like you. Judging from your appearance, you must have just quit 'God Realm'. Get some rest, I'll come see you again in a couple of days."

Chu Ci escorted Lu Ze to the door, where he got into the silver sports car and waved goodbye before leaving.

"You unfilial son, don't miss your brother too much these next few days!"

"Get lost!"

Boom! With a roar, the sports car quickly disappeared from Chu Ci's sight.

Turning around, he dragged his weary body back to the villa, found a room at random, and lay down, overwhelmed by drowsiness and exhaustion.

When he woke up again, it was already dark.

"Phew, that was a really comfortable sleep. Rich people's beds are definitely different; they're so soft and fragrant, much better than my shabby rented room."

"It's getting so late. Let's grab something to eat and head into 'God's Domain'."

As soon as I left the room, the light outside the door turned on automatically.

A mechanical voice came through.

[Master, I am the smart home assistant for apartment 301. We have detected that you need to eat, and your food has been prepared in advance.]

On the dining table, one fragrant and delicious dish after another is being served by service robots.

I had only heard of this technology before, but this was the first time I had actually seen it.

"Alas, Chu Ci, you've fallen so low. You've actually abandoned the great instant noodle family to experience the wicked life of the rich."

As he spoke, he went to the table and took a bite of some kind of thick soup.

The delicious flavor exploded in his mouth instantly.

In less than ten minutes, the food on the table was cleared away, and the plates were taken away by the robot.

Chu Ci touched her stomach without any regard for her image.

"Hiccup! I love the life of the rich."

"Alright, we've eaten and drunk our fill, time to get back to work!"
