Love Apartnt, Qin Shou spends his days watching TV, studying transformation device synthesis formulas from tokusatsu shows, setting up so plans, and then...
And then that’s it. Basically, he’s just being a lazy bum, like he’s on vacation.
Training in the Demigod Realm takes an incredibly long ti to transition. Spiritual power grows at its own pace, and the Power of Ti requires gradual comprehension and mastery. Even with the aid of the Light and Dark Energy Converter, stepping up to the next level would take at least ten years.
Ten years, to a Demigod Realm expert, is about the equivalent of a regular person working a month and collecting their paycheck.
Experts in the Unbreakable Realm have a minimum lifespan of 300 years. True Demigod Realm experts can live thousands of years, unlike Qin Long and his crew — half-baked Demigod experts who exhausted all their potential to barely break through. They look old, their strength is diocre, and their lifespan doesn’t even reach half that of a true Demigod.
Thinking about Qin Long, Qin Shou’s mind conjured the image of Elder Long.
With Elder Long around, even if Qin Long and his group exhausted their potential, there would surely be a way to compensate for the loss and set things right again.
"Good afternoon, viewers. Welco to the midday news. According to official sources, following the Wind Eagle Hero and Golden Armor Warrior, another mysterious hero dedicated to eliminating abnormal threats has appeared. Now, let’s turn to our on-site reporter unveiling Black Rhinoceros Hero..."
Qin Shou casually turned off the TV as the doorbell rang.
"Ding-dong..."
Zhi Yin ran to open the door, only to see a round-faced young man with squinty, smiling eyes and raised eyebrows, wearing an expression of soone who thinks he’s charming.
"Haha! Hey there, young lady. Are you the landlord?"
Zhi Yin rolled her eyes and said, "You’re here to rent, aren’t you? Co in!"
Deep down, Zhi Yin thought, "The boss asked that monkey to find quirky tenants, but he didn’t say to look for creepy guys. This guy’s squinty eyes — one look and you know he’s bad news."
"Haha, thanks!"
The young man had just stepped inside when his gaze fell on Qin Shou lying lazily on the sofa like a dead fish.
"Ahem, I assu this must be the legendary landlord of Love Apartnt! Pleased to et you, my man..."
The man enthusiastically approached for a handshake, grinning widely, "Landlord, may I ask your surna, your age, and whether you have a girlfriend... No, wait, it’s obvious this adorable little cutie here must be your girlfriend. Landlord, you’re clearly one of us — soone who truly understands why lolis are..."
"Stop!"
Qin Shou waved his hand to interrupt, "I can tell you’re single just by looking at you. Hurry up and pay the deposit. There’s a guy downstairs who recently changed his na to Zhang Wei; you’ll be living next to him."
The man’s smile froze. "Landlord, we’re not signing a contract?"
"Bring your own contract. By the way, what’s your na?"
Qin Shou pulled out a massive ring of keys from under the table and casually asked.
"Landlord, my na is Zhao Xian."
Zhao Xian glanced enviously at the enormous ring of keys in Qin Shou’s hand, swallowing audibly.
He’d envied landlords since he was a kid.
"Here, take the key and move in already!"
"Got it! Landlord, you’re the best."
...
Downstairs, Zhang Yida stepped out, preparing to head off for training at headquarters. Noticing the new tenant, he greeted him with a smile.
"Brother, you’re the new tenant, right? I’m Zhang Yida — no wait, I’m now Zhang Wei. Guess we’ll be neighbors from now on," Zhang Wei said warmly.
Zhao Xian squinted and grinned, "Hey there! So you’re the Zhang Wei the landlord ntioned who changed his na?"
Zhang Wei straightened his back. "That’s right, I’m Zhang Wei, the man who’s about to beco a hero."
"Why’d you change your na?"
"You wouldn’t understand. It’s for better luck!"
"Better luck? You believe that nonsense?" Zhao Xian scoffed dismissively.
Zhang Wei shot him a calm sidelong glance, then pointed mysteriously upstairs. "You might not believe it, but do you know why the landlord, despite being so young, is already living like a landlord?"
Without hesitation, Zhao Xian replied, "Cause he’s a rich kid, obviously. What else could it be?"
"Let tell you, the landlord beca a self-made rich guy after changing his na," Zhang Wei whispered.
Zhao Xian raised an eyebrow. "No way! How do you know?"
"The landlord told so."
"You believe this kind of nonsense?"
"Why not? Try it out yourself. Changing a na costs nothing; if it works, you’ll strike gold."
"Well, I don’t buy it."
"Suit yourself. Once I beco a superhero, you’ll believe it then."
"Superhero? You an that loser Golden Armor Warrior?"
"Hey, how’d you know I was..."
"Pfft, honestly, you kinda give off loser vibes just like him."
"Hey now! Joking around is one thing, but don’t make it personal!"
"Haha, sorry about that. Forgot that na’s beco an insult these days."
"What the...?!" Zhang Wei’s eyes widened in shock.
...
Yidian Mall.
Leng Wanbai, dressed casually, clung to Qin Shou’s arm as she excitedly strolled around the massive mall.
"Wow, what a gorgeous dress, Qin Shou! I want it!"
Leng Wanbai dashed into a bridal shop, her eyes sparkling while staring at a dazzling display of white wedding gowns.
Qin Shou smirked. "That’s a wedding dress. You don’t need it."
"Wedding dress? Wedding dresses in this world are white?"
Leng Wanbai’s eyes flickered with a trace of bashfulness as she instinctively glanced at Qin Shou.
Just then, a sales assistant with a rehearsed smile approached them.
"Oh, is this the bride? Absolutely stunning — such a perfect figure! Co, take a look at so of our new arrivals. This is the result of three years’ work by a top Italian designer..."
Following the assistant’s gesture, Leng Wanbai imdiately fixated on a luxurious wedding gown in the store.
Ignoring Qin Shou’s protests, Leng Wanbai, as if srized, followed the assistant and headed to the fitting room.
Qin Shou clutched his face. This is why you should never agree to go shopping with a woman.
Suddenly, a faint, eerie gray aura drifted past Qin Shou’s eyes.
Qin Shou’s gaze sharpened, and he grinned knowingly.
"Haha, shopping can’t compete with sothing this intriguing."
"Boom!!"
A commotion erupted nearby as the fitting room explosively burst apart. The store’s wardrobe mirrors shattered and scattered, alarms blared, and chaos ensued. Staff scread and fled in panic.
