Chapter 751: Chapter 293 Entering the Instance: Third Forbidden Land [10,000 words]_2
“I’ve cleaned up the house for you, and guess what? We’ve bought the whole building, and your aunt’s family has moved in too,” Liu izhu said.
“Eh? Why would you buy the whole building? The house is so old, it would be more comfortable to buy a villa outside.”
“Moreover, would Uncle Long, Uncle Zheng, and Grandma Liu be willing to sell?” Mu Rufeng asked, sowhat surprised.
Everyone here had been hearing rumors about demolition for years; the original three-story house even had an extra floor added on top. It was unlikely they would move.
Previously, soone had offered 6,100 yuan per square ter, but no one was willing to sell. This building, being one of the older step-access buildings, now had prices dropped to just over 3,000 yuan per square ter.
“Hey, it’s convenient, isn’t it? And with the right amount of money, how could they not sell?”
“Grandma Liu passed away in the hospital earlier this year, and the kids at ho didn’t want to live here anymore. They’ve been wanting to sell.”
“As for the two families upstairs, we paid them enough money, and they’ve already bought river-view apartnts at Xiangjiang No. 1,” Liu izhu said.
“Grandma Liu passed away? Why didn’t you tell ? No wonder, I went back several tis and didn’t see Grandma Liu,” Mu Rufeng said, visibly shaken.
Grandma Liu lived just across from their house and they had a good relationship; she often gave them local specialties or tasty treats.
When Mu Rufeng was a child, his family had financial difficulties, so they were very frugal. During one sumr, he probably couldn’t even afford a small pudding ice cream.
He still rembered that during one sumr in his first year of junior high, he was about to go out to collect scraps with his friends to earn so pocket money.
As he left the house, he ran into Grandma Liu, who was just coming out of her door with a pudding just unwrapped in her hand.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the pudding, and perhaps Grandma Liu noticed his desire, because she imdiately gave it to him to eat.
He really rembered that incident for a long ti.
“Alas, she died of stomach cancer. She always had stomach pain but endured it on her own and didn’t go to the hospital. By the ti the pain beca unbearable and she went for a check-up, it was already too late.”
“She didn’t last long after that,” Liu izhu said with a sigh.
“When did it happen?” Mu Rufeng asked.
“In May.”
“It was fate; if it had been later, I could have saved her,” Mu Rufeng said, shaking his head in regret.
He would naturally save those he knew, but for those he didn’t recognize, Mu Rufeng wouldn’t specifically try to save them.
In May, Mu Rufeng hadn’t even entered the instance; even if he had known, there was nothing he could do.
The family didn’t tell him, probably thinking it was just a slightly closer neighbor, so why would they ntion it to Mu Rufeng.
“Let’s not talk about this, you’re 25 this year, when are you planning to bring a girlfriend ho?” Liu izhu changed the subject to this.
“Mom, what ti are we living in now, still getting a girlfriend? Haven’t you watched the news?” Mu Rufeng said, sowhat speechless.
“I watch the news every day. Isn’t it just that the Abnormal World is about to descend? And that’s exactly why you need to hurry up and find a girlfriend, to have a child,” Liu izhu hurriedly said.
“The world is descending on September 1 this year. Even if I found soone now, if she got pregnant, the child wouldn’t be born until November.”
“Mom, are you expecting my wife to go to the instance world while she’s pregnant?” Mu Rufeng said.
“Well… then don’t have children first, just date.”
“Fine, you don’t need to worry about this. When I want to find soone, I definitely will. If nothing else, I’m going to hang up now. I still have so things to deal with here,” Mu Rufeng said.
“Okay, go ahead with your things. By the way, are you coming back tomorrow at noon or in the evening?”
“Let’s say noon.”
“Alright, I’ll buy so extra groceries tomorrow and make you so good dishes.”
After hanging up the phone, Mu Rufeng took a deep breath to expel the annoyance in his heart, and then went out to the balcony.
Looking at the snowy scene helped improve Mu Rufeng’s mood a little.
——————
The next morning, Mu Rufeng woke up, practiced for two hours, had breakfast, and by ten o’clock, he was ready.
He tidied up his room, cut off the utilities, and threw his luggage directly into his item slot, preparing to go ho.
He sent a ssage to Zhou Wen, Cheng Youlin, and Ye Lin, then picked up Ma Qiu.
“Let’s go, back to Yong City,” Mu Rufeng commanded.
“Okie-dokie, master!” Ma Qiu promptly responded and then directly flew out of the balcony window.
Mu Rufeng didn’t forget to close the balcony window when he left.
Just then, the login bracelet on Mu Rufeng’s left wrist suddenly lit up, and a notification sound echoed in his mind.

“Eh?” Mu Rufeng frowned, then took out the identity card.
At that mont, the identity card he had obtained from Golden City was glowing faintly.
“Ring, ring, ring~~~!”
His phone rang, it was Ye Lin calling.
“Mu Rufeng, there’s news about the Third Forbidden Land, we’re going in ten minutes.”
“Yeah, I received it too. Keep in touch,” Mu Rufeng replied.
“Yeah, I won’t talk anymore. All contractors level 7 and above have to enter, I still have to arrange so things.”
