【Congratulations on winning a house in Country Garden Community】
With a "snap", a red property certificate and a set of keys landed in Luo Chuan's hands.
Luo Chuan stared blankly at the property certificate with his name on it. He... he's a homeowner now? And it looks like it's in the city center.
Although he didn't draw the top few rewards, a house in the city center was still quite valuable, not bad!
He searched on his phone, and the Country Garden Community had a good location, situated between the Elite High School and the Spring Breeze High School, it was only a ten-minute walk to both schools, very convenient. Although it wasn't zoned for school districts, it was always in high demand.
Luo Chuan didn't plan to live in this house, and he didn't feel like cleaning it up either. Instead, he planned to rent it out directly. Not only could he receive rent, but it could also reduce many unnecessary troubles, a win-win situation.
After putting the property certificate and the previous golden beans together, Luo Chuan opened the system panel again.
The system mission section had been updated.
【System Mission: The Path of the Scholar (Chain Mission)】
Stage One: Rise to Fame: Prove your strength with an exam. (Completed)
Stage Two: Keep Going: Participate in a provincial or higher-level competition and achieve first place, subject not limited.
Reward: Random Title Draw *3
Stage Three: Unlocks after completion of Stage Two
"Achieving first place in a provincial or higher-level competition", Luo Chuan muttered to himself, looking at the panel.
In both his lives, Luo Chuan hadn't had much exposure to competitions. He could only ask his homeroom teacher tomorrow if there was any relevant information.
The next day after class, Luo Chuan went straight to the homeroom teacher's office to inquire about competition information.
Before the homeroom teacher could say anything, the math teacher next to him spoke first,
"Luo Chuan, are you interested in competitions?"
"Mr. Lu, I want to try it. It's like setting a goal for myself."
"Competitions aren't like our regular exams. Competitions require a very high level of talent. Even if you get full marks on your tests, you don't have much of an advantage in competitions."
"I know that, but how can I know if it won't work unless I try it."
Luo Chuan knew very well that he wasn't the kind of person with natural talent, but he had a cheat! If LV2 doesn't work, then LV3, and if that doesn't work, then LV4. He wouldn't believe he couldn't handle a competition.
The math teacher looked at Luo Chuan and pondered for a moment, saying,
"There's a provincial high school math league in April this year. I'll apply for a spot for you then."
Seeing this, Luo Chuan was overjoyed and quickly thanked the math teacher.
"If you really want to thank me, then prepare for the competition properly. You still have a long way to go," said Mr. Lu, taking a sip of tea.
After Luo Chuan left, his homeroom teacher looked at the math teacher and asked curiously,
"Are you that confident in Luo Chuan?"
"Just try it. The spot's there anyway, might as well use it." Mr. Lu said nonchalantly.
Jiefangbei Middle School was just a regular high school. Its teaching resources weren't strong, and it couldn't cultivate talented children. If a child had talent, they wouldn't go to Jiefangbei Middle School. So, teachers usually ignored the various competitions. But now, with a glimmer of hope, they naturally wanted to make the most of it.
"But this kid Luo Chuan has really changed. I hardly recognize him anymore."
The homeroom teacher sighed,
"After all, his only family member passed away. This forced him to grow up."
Obviously, the school teachers also knew about Luo Chuan's situation.
Back in the classroom, Luo Chuan opened the system panel.
【Mathematics LV2: 264/1000】
There was still a long way to go before LV3, but Luo Chuan was confident that he could complete the math upgrade before the league. However, he would probably need a lot of practice and learning materials during this time.
After closing the system panel, Zhu Wei Jiao flashed over to Luo Chuan's side and asked curiously,
"What were you doing at the old hag's place just now?"
"Nothing much, just asking about a competition. I want to sign up."
"Ah," Zhu Wei Jiao was a little surprised. She had never been involved in competitions since she was little. Finally, she said with a sad face,
"So, you can't tutor us anymore, right?"
Luo Chuan smiled lightly,
"Don't worry, I promised to tutor you, and I won't give up."
Zhu Wei Jiao frowned. Would that affect his competition preparation?
"Of course not."
After receiving a definite answer, Zhu Wei Jiao finally nodded with relief.
For the next few days, Luo Chuan's life was extremely regular. He practiced boxing in the morning, did math practice problems to level up his experience during school, and put other subjects aside for now. Anyway, he already knew what the teachers taught.
After school, he cooked at home. Sometimes Zhu Wei Jiao and Tu Jun would come over to mooch off him. After dinner, he would tutor them.
At first, the few of them couldn't hold back their impatience and seemed a little restless. But until Luo Chuan punched Tu Jun's head and created a bump, the few of them became obedient.
Apparently, verbal education really wasn't as good as physical punishment. They still got beaten too little!
On Saturday, Luo Chuan got up early, practiced the Eight Extremities Fist twice, and made himself breakfast. Then, he pulled out the property certificate from the box and headed towards the city center without a sound.
Sitting on the bus, watching the scenery outside the window constantly receding, Luo Chuan couldn't help but think, when would he be able to afford a motorcycle as a means of transportation. At least it would be more convenient to go to the city center.
An hour later, Luo Chuan arrived at the entrance of the Country Garden Community. Judging from the old gate and the old man guarding it, the community had been built for some time.
Luo Chuan walked in swaggeringly, the gatekeeper didn't even look up. Soon, Luo Chuan found his house based on the information on the property certificate.
"Unit 3, 302. This should be it."
Luo Chuan took out his key and easily opened the door. There wasn't the dust or musty smell he imagined. Although it was cold and empty due to long periods of disuse, the overall environment was relatively clean.
The furniture inside was also complete, including a TV, refrigerator, washing machine, etc., and they were all new, now covered with sheets.
Luo Chuan looked at each room. There were three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, covering about 150 square meters. The place was spacious, the light was bright, it was really good!
It was also in the city center, with convenient transportation. If it were listed on the market, it would definitely be worth over three million. And now, this large house was his property.
Then Luo Chuan took a few photos before locking the door and leaving.
After leaving the unit building, Luo Chuan started to stroll around the community, familiarizing himself with the environment. He was now a homeowner here. If he couldn't rent it out in the short term, he could use it as his own secret base.
The environment in the community was good, and there was no trash or anything like that along the way, Luo Chuan was naturally very satisfied.
Suddenly, a scream came from somewhere. Luo Chuan looked up in the direction of the sound.
A woman was half-squatting on the ground, scattered fruit and a broken heel on her foot seemed to explain everything.
Luo Chuan quickly walked over, and when he saw the woman's face clearly, his eyes flashed. This woman... he seemed to have an impression. This outfit, this cold temperament... was Pei Yin, Qian San Yi's mother.
Could it be that the community he's in now is the one where Qian San Yi and Lin Miao Miao lived? What a coincidence?
Soon, Luo Chuan dismissed this problem. This was already a comprehensive film and television world, and the plot of his previous life could no longer be used as a reference.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
Luo Chuan didn't help her up directly, but asked politely.
"I... I'm okay," a hint of pain flashed across Pei Yin's face. Obviously, she had twisted her ankle.
Luo Chuan thought for a moment and said,
"Auntie, why don't I help you up? It's not a good idea to sit like this."
Pei Yin hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Qian San Yi was still outside and couldn't come back in time. She couldn't get up on her own. Every time she moved her foot, it hurt. Could she just sit on the ground like this?
Luo Chuan supported Pei Yin. With a little force, he pulled her up and slowly moved her to a chair nearby.
"Thank you," Pei Yin said.
"It's nothing, Auntie," Luo Chuan smiled, and then he even volunteered to pick up the fallen fruit.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Pei Yin took the initiative to ask,
"Are you from this community? I don't think I've seen you around before."
Luo Chuan said,
"I'm from Unit 3 in front. I don't come here often, so it's normal if you don't recognize me."
"Oh," Pei Yin nodded,
"I'm from Unit 1. We're neighbors. Looking at your age, you should be about the same age as my son."
"Looking at your temperament, your son must be very excellent."
Hearing Luo Chuan say this about Qian San Yi, a smile appeared on Pei Yin's face. Qian San Yi was her pride and her last support.
After repacking the fruit into the bag, Luo Chuan placed it next to Pei Yin.
"Auntie, how are you feeling now? Do you want to contact your family?"
"I'm fine now, much better. I just need to sit here and rest for a while. Thank you so much for today."
Seeing this, Luo Chuan didn't say anything more. After confirming that there was nothing else, he turned and walked out of the community.
