Chapter 33: Chapter 33: After You Go In, I Will Definitely Come See You

Yu Zhu surfed the internet on her phone with one hand, rubbing her belly in satisfaction with the other as she let out a silly giggle. On the table in front of her, several plates had been wiped entirely clean. She had even mixed the leftover sauce with her rice. She was a true believer in joining the clean plate club.

After paying the bill, Yu Zhun walked over and waved a hand in front of her face. "What are you smiling about?"

"Yu Zhun, do you know what year it is?"

"...Your zodiac year?"

Yu Zhu dropped her smile and put on a tearful expression. "Wow, you even forgot my age. All these years of affection... totally wasted on you."

"Stop being such a drama queen," Yu Zhun said, unable to stop himself from rolling his eyes. "Just tell me, what year is it?"

"This year is the eighty-eighth anniversary of the founding of the Divine Revelation Hall!" Yu Zhu dropped the dramatic act and grinned, grabbing Yu Zhun’s hand. "The anniversary is in a few days, and this time they’re planning something huge!

"They’re going to provide support to all new players for three consecutive years!

"By my calculations, by the time I enter the Divine Revelation World, I’ll be able to enjoy the benefits too!"

Huh? Yu Zhun couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. "What specific kind of support?"

Yu Zhu counted them off on her fingers. "The official recycling prices for items and Equipment for all Initial Profession players will remain unchanged, while the official selling prices will all have a twenty percent discount. However, there’s a quota for each person to prevent reselling for profit.

"Not only that, but the security of official anonymous player transactions has been upgraded, and all unofficial trading channels have been heavily cracked down on.

"Next, all guilds with an official background will lower their recruitment requirements, adopting fair and reasonable methods to select and recruit the best new players.

"At the same time, the Divine Revelation Hall has also advised unofficial guilds to lower their recruitment thresholds, and many unofficial guilds have responded positively!

"The approval conditions for creating a new guild have also been greatly relaxed. Over a decade ago, the Divine Revelation Hall tightened the approval process for guild creation to put an end to some chaotic guild practices, but now they’ve actually opened it up again!

"As long as you are Level 11 or above and pay a one-million-coin guild creation fee, you can create your own guild!

"And there’s more. The material costs for Life Professions, the entry quotas for Dungeons, and so on have all been adjusted to varying degrees. These are all massive benefits for new players."

Holding up her phone, Yu Zhu spoke with glee, "Right now, whether it’s the forums or other social media, everyone’s going crazy discussing it. Many players who have already changed their Professions are crying in the bathroom out of pure jealousy."

"That really is good news," Yu Zhun smiled, though a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He wondered if this had something to do with him. Why did this news appear precisely after he had passed the Nether Trial, not a moment sooner or later? However, this thought lingered in his mind for only a second before he dismissed it entirely. He couldn’t help but shake his head with a soft chuckle. He was just an ordinary player. How could he possibly have enough influence to make the Divine Revelation Hall enact such sweeping changes? It was just a coincidence.

"Huh? Yu Zhun, where are we going?"

After chattering the whole way, Yu Zhu finally snapped back to reality, realizing they were not on the way home. The surroundings were completely unfamiliar.

"To look at houses." Yu Zhun stopped, glanced at the sales office by the road, and pulled the dumbfounded Yu Zhu straight inside.

"Wait... what?"

Staring at the four bold, flamboyant characters that read "Shengshi First-class" on the sales office building, Yu Zhu’s mouth hung open subconsciously. Wasn’t this the newly developed villa district?

Watching Yu Zhun step forward to speak with a saleswoman in a low voice, Yu Zhu blinked before a look of certainty settled on her face. This guy had definitely let it get to his head! He had teamed up with others to defeat a boss and earned a few tens of thousands, and now he thought he was a big shot—he was actually daring to look at houses worth millions, maybe even tens of millions!

At this thought, she couldn’t help but pout. She would leave him some dignity while they were out in public, but once they got home, she was absolutely going to headbutt him!

Still, the houses here were truly beautiful. Yu Zhu, who had been huffing and puffing a second ago, was quickly drawn to the property models nearby. Looking at the exquisite Western-style houses with gardens, she couldn’t help but recall the large houses she had daydreamed about as a child. It looked exactly the same.

"Handsome, all the housing models we have for sale are right here." The saleswoman didn’t show any neglect despite Yu Zhun’s youth. In this era, it was incredibly common for people to get rich overnight after becoming Divine Revelation players. Smiling, she held up a housing brochure and handed it to him.

Yu Zhun didn’t take it. Instead, he pointed to the unit Yu Zhu was staring blankly at. "That one."

"Ah, that one!" The saleswoman’s smile grew even more radiant. "You have great taste, sir. That’s our best-selling model here. The floor area is..."

"No need for all that." Yu Zhun took out his bank card. "How soon can we move in after payment?"

The saleswoman internally cheered, realizing the deal was closed on the spot. As an experienced agent, she became even more enthusiastic. "All of our housing models have been designed and decorated by renowned design firms. They are ready for move-in anytime."

"Let’s pay, then."

"Very well, sir. Please follow me this way." The saleswoman extended a hand, gesturing for Yu Zhun to follow her to the cashier.

Yu Zhun turned his head, glanced at Yu Zhu, who was still staring blankly at the model, and smiled before following the saleswoman to process the paperwork.

After staring vacantly for quite a while, Yu Zhu reluctantly withdrew her gaze. She looked toward where Yu Zhun had been, only to freeze. Where did he go? She wondered why he hadn’t even called her when he left. Grinding her teeth, she decided that one headbutt wouldn’t be enough. She would have to give him at least two... no, three headbutts!

"What are you looking for?"

Yu Zhu snapped her head around. Seeing that Yu Zhun was still smiling, she grew even angrier. "You didn’t even tell me you were leaving!"

"I didn’t leave." Yu Zhun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "I just went with the saleswoman to pay and handle the paperwork."

"Oh, I see..." Yu Zhu nodded in sudden realization, but then she froze slightly, her voice suddenly jumping several decibels. "What did you say you went to do?!"

"Pay and handle the paperwork." Yu Zhun handed her the invoice he was holding and pointed to the small Western-style house model next to her. "I bought this one."

Yu Zhu stared blankly at the receipt in her hand. Ones... tens... hundreds... thousands... tens of thousands... hundreds of thousands... millions... tens of millions... That was a lot of digits. Was she seeing things? She couldn’t help but rub her eyes, but her eye sockets only grew redder the more she rubbed them.

"I remember you always wanting to live in a house with a garden like this when you were little," Yu Zhun said with a cheerful chuckle. "Now your wish is fulfilled. Pack up over the next couple of days, and we can move in whenever we want.

"From now on, Yu Zhuzhu will also be—hey, hey, hey... don’t cry!"

Seeing Yu Zhu’s eyes completely red with large teardrops falling continuously, Yu Zhun panicked. "What’s wrong?"

"Yu Zhun..." Yu Zhu tugged at his sleeve to wipe her nose and spoke between sobs. "I heard that you can only visit a prison twice a month. After you go in, I’ll definitely come to see you every half a month."

Yu Zhun was speechless.

"Yu! Zhu! Zhu! Can’t you wish for something good for me?!"
