Chapter 20: Luxury Villa Opens

[Opening the King's Treasure Chest will reduce the chest's experience points by 1000.]
[King's Treasure Chest Opening Now...]
[Congratulations, host, for opening the King's Treasure Chest and receiving 10 in cash.]
If Lu Ran hadn't mentally prepared himself before unpacking, he probably would have been so angry he'd drifted off to sleep.
However, luck is a mysterious thing, and no one can guarantee that they will get good things every time!
"What's wrong with you?"
Seemingly sensing Lu Ran's emotional fluctuations, Cheng Ning asked with concern.
Lu Ran smiled.
"I was initially angry when I thought about some unfortunate things, but now I'm not angry anymore."
Cheng Ning was very curious. She had indeed heard Lu Ran breathing rapidly just now, and it was obvious that he was very angry about something.
But why did things return to calm so quickly?
Actually, she was about to offer some comfort, since getting emotional while driving is not a good thing.
"Do you know how I quickly calm myself down?"
Having been trained by the system for so long, Lu Ran has become increasingly shameless.
Or rather, his true nature was gradually unleashed by the system.
Seeing that Cheng Ning didn't ask, he brought up the question himself.
Cheng Ning asked, "What is it?"
Lu Ran said gently, "It's because of you. I was very angry just now, but when I turned around and saw you, my heart instantly calmed down."
Cheng Ning blushed deeply.
He lowered his head and dared not utter another word.
[Excellent! The host has already taken the initiative to flirt. This move deserves full marks.]
[Reward: 100 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
Lu Ran: ......
He ignored the system's teasing and thought to himself.
"System, open another King's Treasure Chest."
After holding back for so long, it wouldn't feel right not to use up all the experience points at once.
[Opening the King's Treasure Chest will reduce the chest's experience points by 1000.]
[King's Treasure Chest Opening Now...]
[Congratulations, host! You have opened the King's Treasure Chest and obtained a detached villa worth eight million yuan.]
[The villa is located in the heart of Chengjiang City. The host's personal information will be officially registered within three days. The host can collect the property certificate from the relevant department one week later by presenting their ID card and officially move in.]
Lu Ran was overjoyed.
Looks like the last game was a set-up game, but this time I actually hit the jackpot.
After returning home and helping Cheng Ning move her luggage back, Lu Ran left the apartment under the pretext of having something to do, went downstairs, took out his phone, and made a call.
The doctor said the earlier the procedure is performed, the better. He had accumulated 3,000 experience points and opened three King's Treasure Chests, so funding was no longer an issue.
Now we need to find out what Lin Shaoxian is capable of.
Although the other party had boasted about it endlessly last time, this matter concerned Cheng Ning's eyes, so she couldn't be careless.
···
at this time.
Inside a certain club.
Lin Shaoxian lay on the sofa with his girlfriend in his arms, with a masseuse on each side giving them leg massages. They looked very comfortable.
Lin Shaoxian took a puff of his cigarette and said leisurely, "Mengying, I'll take you to see villas on Ronghua Street in a few days. I've already contacted the real estate agents. You can choose any villa you like, except for the high-end ones in the central area."
Lin Shaoxian went to great lengths to win Liang Mengying's unwavering loyalty.
He not only bought her a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but also planned to spend another three or four million yuan to buy a villa for Liang Mengying.
Although he had some money, it still hurt him to spend several million, as it took up a small portion of his savings.
"Darling, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Liang Mengying smiled broadly and affectionately hugged her boyfriend.
Lin Shaoxian patted her slender waist: "Sigh, I just hope you can remember the good things I did for you, and not be like my ex-wife, teaming up with a gigolo to divide my assets."
Liang Mengying pouted: "How could that be? We've known each other for so long, don't you understand me? I'm not that kind of superficial person. I value talent and inner qualities."
Lin Shaoxian said jokingly, "That's not necessarily true. I saw you practically staring at Lu Ran the other day."
Liang Mengying punched her boyfriend.
"Honey, don't joke like that."
"I just happened to run into a classmate that day, and I was a little surprised."
"Okay, I admit it, he did pursue me in college, but I rejected him."
Lin Shaoxian paused, realizing that it was indeed true; he knew it wouldn't be simple.
"Oh? He's quite good-looking, he should be very popular at school. Would a girl who's never been in the workforce before reject him?"
Liang Mengying twisted her waist and leaned against Lin Shaoxian, saying sweetly, "I said I value inner qualities."
"When he confessed his feelings to me, I told him directly that if he could go abroad for further studies and achieve certain success, then I would agree to be with him."
"But he ran away as soon as he heard what I said. He's all looks and no ambition. How could I possibly be interested in someone like that?"
Lin Shaoxian asked doubtfully, "Really?"
Liang Mengying nodded: "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can call him to confront me face to face."
Liang Mengying has recently figured things out: one should always look up to others.
Even though Lu Ran somehow got the money to buy a luxury car worth millions, he still couldn't compare to Lin Shaoxian.
Lin Shaoxian's connections alone are the result of three generations of his family's accumulation; otherwise, he would never have reached his current status at the age of thirty.
Even if Lu Ran has strong work ability after graduation, he can't compare with the resources accumulated by other people over several generations, and he doesn't even have the right to compare.
She was extremely grateful for her initial choice and for sticking to her principles, only seeking out truly capable and competent people.
Although Lin Shaoxian was remarried and six years older than her, none of that mattered. As long as she could access higher social classes, it was worth it.
"Haha, I believe you, of course I believe you, baby."
If he said that to his girlfriend, it's obviously true.
Lin Shaoxian was in a great mood.
What's the use of being handsome? The goddess you couldn't have is now nestled in my arms.
As they chatted...
Lin Shaoxian's cell phone rang.
He picked it up and, by sheer coincidence, it was Lu Ran; he had Lu Ran's number saved before.
Originally, he was wary of the other party, fearing that his girlfriend would be poached, but now he was not worried at all. He even had a slightly mischievous sense of humor, hoping that Lu Ran still had feelings for Liang Mengying. A goddess with suitors is more interesting.
"Hey, it's your old flame calling."
A smug Lin Shaoxian even teased his girlfriend in a showy manner.
Liang Mengying pinched him: "You're so annoying."
In her heart, she wondered whether Lu Ran's previous words were truly out of a need for Lin Shaoxian, or simply for her sake...
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
Lin Shaoxian answered the call, and Lu Ran's voice came through very quickly.
Lin Shaoxian cleared his throat: "Xiao Lu, is there something you need?"
"Mr. Lin, it's like this, I'd like to meet with you to have a proper talk about the surgery I mentioned last time."
"Surgery? Hmm... I've been very busy lately. Why don't you just call me if you need anything?"
"Oh, I see. Well, I have a question. How do I schedule an appointment for the most advanced and safest artificial retina transplant surgery?"
Lin Shaoxian thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to do it, you have to go to the hospital for examinations first, so that the hospital can customize a transplant that is suitable for you. This is equivalent to hiring a private medical team and using advanced technology to serve you alone, which is extremely expensive."
"Probably... around two or three million!"
"Moreover, the situation outside is different from that in China. If you want to book this kind of customized surgery, you have to pay first. According to what you said, you need to pay 500,000 yuan first."
"If you want to make an appointment, I can act as an intermediary to help you connect, but only if you trust me and come up with 500,000 first."
These are all the truth. Lin Shaoxian has neither the time nor the inclination to fabricate anything on this matter. This is his reputation and brand. The information is all public. It's an ophthalmology clinic in the U.S. state of Harts. He believes that Lu Ran, a college graduate, wouldn't doubt the authenticity of the hospital.
Moreover, he recommends these personalized surgeries, which offer high commissions.
