Today was three days after winning the first prize.
Three days ago, after winning the first prize, Jiang Ran, amidst countless envious gazes from people buying pancakes, was invited inside the pancake shop by the shop manager to claim his prize.
Originally, Jiang Ran thought the prize claiming process would be slow and drawn out.
After all, the prize was a whole apartnt!
And not just any apartnt—it was valued at 50,000 yuan per square ter.
What surprised Jiang Ran was how fast the reward was processed.
In just three days, Jiang Ran completed the ownership transfer and received the keys to the apartnt.
It felt as if this apartnt was a huge hot potato that no one wanted to hold for long.
At this mont, it was seven o’clock in the morning, in front of Alice Apartnt.
Jiang Ran, carrying a large black 70-liter backpack on his back and dragging an oversized black suitcase with his right hand, basked in the gentle warmth of the morning sunlight.
“Is this Alice Apartnt?”
Looking at the luxurious ten-story apartnt building before him, Jiang Ran couldn’t believe that he was lucky enough in this life to live in such a place.
After all, in his previous life, he was just a tenant who rented rooms like a beast of burden.
He didn’t know the inside of this apartnt building, but just from the outside, it gave off a clean, neat, and simply luxurious vibe.
The shop manager had told him that the first prize, the Alice Apartnt unit, was already fully decorated, and all the appliances were complete.
So, he just needed to move in with his bags.
Because of this, Jiang Ran had terminated his previous lease early and either sold or discarded all the things he no longer needed.
He only brought his clothes and basic daily necessities.
“Alice Apartnt, here I co!”
Feeling great, Jiang Ran said aloud in a slightly loud voice.
What he didn’t expect was that there was an answer, and it ca from very close beside him.
“You look pretty happy, huh?”
The voice ca from Jiang Ran’s left. Turning his head, he saw a young man about his height and age.
This young man looked ordinary, but his biggest feature was his extrely pale skin, even whiter than many girls.
Also, a tiny beauty mark at the corner of his left eye made him extrely noticeable.
“Ah? Sorry.”
Jiang Ran didn’t know where he might have offended the young man, so he apologized first, which was always the safe choice.
Then he said, “Hello, my na is Jiang Ran. I’m a new resident here.”
The pale young man stared at Jiang Ran for several seconds, then shook his head without saying a word, grabbed his suitcase, and silently walked into the gated entrance of Alice Apartnt.
“Strange personality.”
Jiang Ran shrugged, then dragged his black suitcase and entered the gated entrance of Alice Apartnt as well.
However, the mont his left foot stepped in, the Danger Warning System in his mind sounded a strong and sharp alarm:
[Danger! Danger! Danger detected! Host is in an extrely dangerous place! Please leave imdiately! Please leave imdiately!]
[Points
5! Points
5!]
“Uh…”
The sudden danger warning caught Jiang Ran off guard.
He looked around left and right but saw nothing that could pose a threat.
He even looked up, fearing so high-altitude object might fall, although he was still quite far from the apartnt building. Yet, looking forward and upward, not only was there no sign of falling objects, there wasn’t even a single shadow on any balcony floor.
“This system is acting crazy again.”
Jiang Ran clearly rembered that three days ago, next to the pancake shop, this system also issued a danger warning.
And what happened?
Not only did no danger occur, Jiang Ran even won the first prize!
His luck was off the charts!!!
“Could it be that this Danger Warning System is actually reversed?”
“Maybe the so-called danger warning is actually a luck warning?”
He couldn’t help but speculate.
This was based on his previous experience.
“Mr. Jiang Ran, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
At this mont, a burly man in his thirties wearing a black security guard uniform walked out from the luxurious security booth next to the gated entrance.
He approached Jiang Ran, slightly bowed, and showed a warm smile.
Jiang Ran was a bit surprised, “Huh? Do you know ?”
While saying this, Jiang Ran pulled out a resident card from his pocket.
This kind of high-end apartnt required card swiping to enter.
The security guard smiled and said, “When you transferred ownership a few days ago, Alice Apartnt had already recorded your information and sent it to our security and property managent. So it’s normal for us to know you.”
Jiang Ran was amazed, wow!
This was truly a high-end apartnt.
The service attitude and awareness completely outclassed the neighborhoods he had lived in before.
No wonder they say that wealthy people living in high-end neighborhoods or villas don’t just buy houses; they buy service.
“Mr. Jiang Ran, please co this way. We have already registered your facial information into the access control system. In the future, you won’t need to swipe your card—just scan your face to enter directly.”
“Really?”
Although Jiang Ran had never experienced high-end service before, he had played with facial recognition technology before.
So he walked to the face scanning machine and scanned his face.
Imdiately, the entrance gate opened.
Jiang Ran happily dragged his suitcase and walked in.
The security guard at the gate maintained his slight bow and squinted smile from the beginning, watching Jiang Ran walk into the apartnt building, then stayed where he was.
Like a statue.
Even though it was early morning, this eerie behavior gave people goosebumps.
Especially since the security guard’s eyes squinted tighter and tighter until they beca slits, and finally, even those slits seed to disappear from his face.

Human progress is terrifying, especially in modern tis.
The developnt of technology is even more terrifying.
Thousands of years ago, ssages were still passed through relay stations and carrier pigeons.
But in just a few decades or a century, technology has explosively advanced at a bewildering speed!
Humans have built invisible, intangible networks covering the entire world.
Now everyone only needs an electronic device to communicate with the world.
At this mont, this was a broadcast studio where only the center area was lit; everywhere else was shrouded in darkness.
Standing in front of a huge electronic screen in the studio was a Chinese beauty holding a microphone.
This beauty was at least 1.75 ters tall, and wearing high heels made her reach 1.8 ters.
Her figure was curvy and well-proportioned, with a sweet and pretty face.
She wore a silver dress and had flowing long hair.
She irresistibly drew people’s eyes to linger on her for a long ti.
At this mont, no one else was in the studio except her, only multiple caras hidden in the dark aid at her.
It seed to be a live broadcast.
The long-haired beauty raised the microphone in her hand, smiled sweetly, and said to one of the caras:
“Dear VIP mbers, the 25th round of the ‘Distant Relatives Are Not As Good As Close Neighbors’ ga is about to begin. Let
introduce the five little lab rats for this round!”
