Chapter 456

Lu Xin didn’t even notice when he paid . She kept her head down as she read through the property information and attempted to find a cheap and decent house .
"Girl, we’re going," Lu Li said as he waved his hand .
"Oh, we’re not buying a house anymore?" Lu Xin asked carefully . She thought that her brother had probably changed his mind because the houses were too expensive . The siblings shared similar values in terms of finance — they were both quite stingy .
She was relieved, but at the same time a little disappointed .
She didn’t know that Lu Li had already secretly bought the most expensive house in Dawn . He had paid entirely in cash and signed the contract without any hesitation, which went to show that he was willing to do anything for her .
Lu Li also finally understood the reason behind the cheap price of the house . The price was low because the main city had only just been made available for players . In about another month, there was a good chance that the prices would go up .
After he paid the money, Dra gave Lu Li some papers and a plate, which was his identity for his new house .
The item could not be dropped or damage, but it could be traded . The owner of the house would be able to set up restrictions, with the highest level of restriction allowing them to ban other players from approaching the property .
Lu Li allowed his sister to have complete authority around the house, and there was another option made available for them on their Hearthstones .
Previously, they would get teleported back to their selected inn . Now, they could choose to either teleport back to the inn or their home . This was a special service made available by the system after the update .
However, Lu Li still chose to walk over with his sister .
The teleportation fees were free – after they arrived at the hall, they could choose to teleport to their location . It was only a matter of seconds for them to travel from the North to the South of the city . Someone had previously tested travelling this distance with a 60% movement speed mount . If the players didn’t use the portal, it would take them at least half an hour to make the trip .
There were quite a few good places around the south side of the city . Priest skill trainers, Alchemy skill trainers, Herbalist, Pet trainers – there were lots of useful NPCs were around . The auction in the south side of the city was also linked with the auction system in other locations, which made item purchases much easier .
Just a little further down was the greatest building in Darnassus — the Temple of the Moon Goddess .
As the only Goddess of Azeroth, Elune had her own reputation with many races .
The Temple of the Mood Goddess wasn’t easily accessible; there were many people around the area . A majority of them would come to visit its garden, which was the greatest herb research center for the Night Elves .
After the garden was the lake .
Hidden within the bushes and the grass, a small bridge extended across the lake . Fairies from the garden would sometimes play on the bridge, softly singing tunes that calmed the soul .
It was unwise to attempt hurting these little fairies .
They were the essence of high Elves who had died fighting in the war for their race . Once you displayed any form of aggression against them, the Elf sentinels hidden within the bushes would definitely attack you without a second thought .
"Is our house in the water?" Lu Xin had already asked plenty of questions along the way – where did we buy the house, are we there yet, are we there yet…
Her mentality was a little like a wanderer returning home . She was a child from a poor family and it was the first time moving into a new house of her own . It was hard for the average person to comprehend how she felt .
Lu Li held his sister’s hand as they walked onto the bridge; it didn’t take long for Red Leaf Island to come into sight .
The name wasn’t fancy, but it was a clear portrait of the island’s image . From afar, it was an island covered by red leaves that rested in clear waters, calm and lazy .
"It’s here; this entire island," Lu Li said with mixed feelings .
"But, but . . . " The little girl was almost drooling, but she was quick to grasp the key point:
"How much did this cost!"
"I’m the first to buy a house, so the system only took a thousand gold coins," Lu Li lied . For his sister to not feel any psychological burden, he would even be happy to announce this island as the reward for winning the Shadow Cup .
Lu Xin was used to trusting her brother, so she didn’t think that he would lie to her, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t concerned about the 1000 gold coins .
"This is a big island and it’s pretty too . As long as the game is still around, we’ll be able to stay here . We’re not losing anything," Lu Li said as he pushed his sister’s shoulder and took her around the island .
Lu Xin was amazed by the beauty of the place, and liked it the more she explored .
"Boss, are you done yet? We’re all waiting . "
A message was sent and interrupted Lu Li; he had to stop what he was doing .
"Monkey, can’t you guys play without me? I’m quite busy . " Lu Li wasn’t impressed .
"What are you busy for? We all know you’re in the city; your coordinates are constantly getting refreshed . Come join us in battleground; it’s so fun . We don’t have enough numbers . If you come, we’ll definitely win . "
Fat Monkey was in the battleground with others from the guild .
He wasn’t in the battleground at Grey Valley; he was in the new battleground .
There were ten people on each team and it was played in capture-the-flag mode . Victory was only announced when the flag was stolen by one team three times .
Fat Monkey had been very active . He was very passionate about gaming and he immediately tried the new battleground dungeon as soon as it was released .
The poor child truly experienced how important it was for him to have good team members . The first time he went in, eight out of his nine team members were terrible . The battle was completely one-sided – they didn’t manage to take the flag, not even once .
After his painful experience, the future Fire Mage Lord learned his lesson . He grouped a bunch of people from his guild and they played the battleground together .
Unfortunately, the battleground was split into sections, and he could only group players between level 30-34 .
Ruling Sword had less higher-level players compared to other big guilds .
Most players also had their own teams, so there weren’t many players available to play with him .
On the other hand, a few players from Lu Li’s usual team responded to his call . Sakura Memories, March Rain and Moonlight were all team members for the upcoming competition, so there was no doubt about their response .
Azure Sea Breeze claimed that he was unbeatable, and he needed to go into the battleground to show off his amazing defense .
As for the others, Lonesome Flower and Sesame Rice Ball didn’t want to show their weaknesses . Wandering was too busy drinking in the bar, Remnant Dream had to take her pet on a walk, and Hachi Chan was busy trying to hatch her Spirit Dragon mount . Anyone who dared to interrupt her would be cursed by her .
Azure Sea Breeze, March Rain, Moonlight and Fat Monkey – this was already a really strong team . They just needed a few other players to fill in the gaps .
However, without Lu Li, they didn’t feel secure, which was why they kept messaging him .
"You should go; I’ll play here by myself . " Lu Xin was a good girl and encouraged her brother to participate in events .
"Alright, take a look around and let me know if anything needs to be reconstructed or if we need to purchase anything . Make a list; I’ll buy everything when I come back . Or, you can message Square Root 3 – he’ll definitely be able to sort everything out . " Lu Li also knew that he couldn’t afford to stop . The battlegrounds were still a good place for him to practice, so it was better if he went .
Hence, his original plan to spend time with his sister to redecorate their new home ended .
