Four Skills for All.

Chapter 36 Buying a House

Mo Xiu didn't go home immediately; he sent a message to his mother, telling her he would be home that evening.

Afterwards, Mo Xiu checked his bank card balance: 15322443.

Mo Xiu leaned closer to the screen and counted carefully.

"Holy crap, over 1500 million!"

Mo Xiu was a little flustered by the amount of money. After thinking for a moment, he called Zheng Yi.

"Hey, Mo Xiu, why haven't you answered my calls these past few days?"

"I've been busy these past few days, so it's inconvenient."

"What's up? I knew you'd won over Mu Qingyi, off to enjoy some alone time, huh? You're awesome."

"Stop talking nonsense, are you free right now? Come out for a bit."

"You're free? What do you want to do?"

"Could you come pick me up? I need your help. I'm at..."

Mo Xiu hung up the phone, and since he had nothing else to do while waiting for Zheng Yi, he started looking at his phone.

When I opened the Shadow software, a prompt appeared.

"You have earned 2000 points. The points shop is now open."

Mo Xiu discovered that a points mall section had indeed appeared next to his section.

Mo Xiu thought this area must be very high-end, and there must be some herbs or something inside.

I was dumbfounded when I opened it. What are all these things?

"100 jin of rice = 1 point".

"A pair of designer shoes costs 2 points."

"100 points per vehicle".

"One pig is worth 10 points."

What the hell is this? It's practically a general store! And there's a pig that costs 10 points! Oh, sorry, pork is really expensive these days.

Just as Mo Xiu was about to curse, he discovered that this online store was just like any other shopping app, recommending products that had high engagement.

Mo Xiu couldn't help but wonder, what kind of people are hiding in the shadows, paying attention to these things?

I found the category search bar and took a look. This store is truly all-encompassing, from god-level herbs and weapons to socks and insoles, it has everything.

Mo Xiu glanced at it briefly and found the herb spirit ring that he was more familiar with. The price of one spirit ring was 5 points.

It seems herbs are expensive everywhere. A B-level mission only costs 8000 points, but a spirit ring costs 5.

As he was flipping through the pages, a ship's horn sounded. Mo Xiu looked up and saw that Zheng Yi had arrived.

After Mo Xiu got into the car, Zheng Yi asked, "Where have you been these past few days? You've practically vanished into thin air. The moment you reappear, you call me out. What's going on?"

"I want to buy a house for my mom to live in."

"Where can I buy it?"

"I hope someone can look after my mother near your house."

Zheng Yi thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, saying, "Okay, the houses near my house are a bit expensive, I probably can't afford them. But the houses in the neighborhoods near my house are reasonably priced. I'll go back and borrow money from my dad to help you buy one."

"No need, I'll buy in your neighborhood, preferably next door."

Zheng Yi glared at him and said, "Mo Xiu, you're pushing your luck. Where am I supposed to get that much money from you?"

Mo Xiu said irritably, "Who said I was asking you to take the money to buy a house? I'll buy the house myself. I'll visit your house later and have your parents take care of my mother."

Zheng Yi was stunned. Mo Xiu asked, "What's wrong? Is there some difficulty?"

Zheng Yi said, "Mo Xiu, the house next to mine might cost 500 million."

"Yes, no problem."

"Yeah, I knew you couldn't afford it, and you still... huh?! No problem?!"

Mo Xiu couldn't stand Zheng Yi's dawdling, so he simply pulled Zheng Yi out of the car and checked the balance again.

Back in the car, Zheng Yi asked with a worried look, "Mo Xiu, these past few days... you haven't been kept by a rich woman, have you? What kind of rich woman is that wealthy?"

Mo Xiu couldn't take it anymore and slammed the car door shut, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and let's go. We'll finish this today and move tomorrow."

Zheng Yi wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Mo Xiu was somewhat unhappy, he had no choice but to give up and drive back to his own home.

Mo Xiu first bought some gifts and went home with Zheng Yi. Although Zheng Yi's family was not as wealthy as Mu Qingyi, Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan, they were still quite rich.

Zheng's father works for a security company and has a high level of prestige and status.

Bodyguarding is considered a top-tier job in today's society because many successful business people lack the personal skills to protect themselves and have to hire bodyguards.

Zheng's mother was a businesswoman and owned a small company. The Zheng family was quite well-known in the neighborhood.

Neither of Zheng's parents were old-fashioned. Mo Xiu had visited the Zheng family once before, and they both had a good impression of him.

Upon learning that Mo Xiu was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Zheng Yi praised Mo Xiu extensively in front of him.

After exchanging a few polite words, Mo Xiu explained his purpose, and Zheng's father agreed without hesitation.

He also helped Mo Xiu communicate with the neighbors next door, and the neighbors quickly agreed to sell the house to Mo Xiu.

After an afternoon of paperwork, the house now belongs to Mo Xiu, costing 550 million yuan.

The neighbor next door also agreed to move out tomorrow. There must be more than one property for the people living here. Out of respect for Zheng's father, and in addition to the fact that Mo Xiu was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, the other party was very willing to do Mo Xiu this favor.

Mo Xiu felt a little embarrassed when he left. Zheng's father was so busy with work, yet he still took the time to help Mo Xiu with everything.

Mo Xiu felt a little guilty and vowed to thank the Zheng family properly in the future.

Mo Xiu was busy all day and didn't get home until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Upon entering, one sees a figure and a table of food.

His mother was still the same as before. Mo Xiu sat down at the table and felt a pang of sadness looking at the few gray hairs on his mother's head.

My hard work over the years has indeed paid off, allowing my mother to live a better life.

But over the years, my mother has been so tired and lonely, taking care of this family all by herself.

"Xiao Xiu, you've been away from home these past few days, and a lot of college acceptance letters have been sent to our house. Go check them out later, see which school you want to go to, and give them a reply."

The mother pointed to a bag on the sofa and said.

After the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), universities will send admission notices to students they wish to enroll in. Students will then need to select which university they wish to attend and send a message to the phone number specified on the notice.

"Mom, let's not talk about that now. I bought you a house near Zheng Yi's house so you can have someone to look after you. We'll move there tomorrow. Oh, and you should quit your job too."

Li Yuan looked at her son carefully and said, "Xiao Xiu, where did you get the money?"

"Mom, I earned the money by doing tasks. Don't worry, I'm doing it the right way."

"A mission? As long as you stay on the right path, I'll do anything."

"Mom, can we move there tomorrow?"

"well!"

......

After dinner, Mo Xiu returned to his room with a bag of acceptance letters.

I only realized there were probably over a hundred of them when I lay down on the bed.

Although the news that Mo Xiu was the top scorer was blocked, the universities were not stupid and extended olive branches to him one after another.

I opened one of them and saw that the prize was 20 yuan.

Mo Xiu never expected that his status as the top scorer in the college entrance examination would lead to him making money.

However, Mo Xiu was not interested in any of these; he just wanted to see what conditions Yenching University had offered.

Mo Xiu only wants to go to the best schools, and he won't go no matter what conditions other schools offer.

After searching for a long time, I finally found the admission notice from Yenching University.

There is only one reward for admission: tuition is waived and full scholarships are awarded.

Mo Xiu smiled. Yenching University was indeed confident, not giving him any other special privileges.

I sent a message to the phone number provided on the notification.

"Mo Xiu from Shuncheng No.1 High School scored 1000 points in the college entrance examination."
