Eeryone Has Four Skills

Buying a House

Mo Xiu didn’t go home immediately. He sent a message to his mother and told her that he would return tonight.

After that, Mo Xiu checked the balance in his bank card. The total amount in his card was 15,322,443 yuan.

Mo Xiu leaned closer to the screen and carefully counted the amount.

“Damn, there’s over 15 million yuan!”

With so much money, Mo Xiu could no longer remain calm. After some thought, he gave Zheng Yi a call.

“Hello, Mo Xiu. Why haven’t you been picking up my calls these few days?”

“I was busy with something these few days. It wasn’t convenient for me to call.”

“What’s the matter? I knew you had taken Mu Qingyi down. You two went to have some alone time, right? How awesome.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Are you free now? Come out for a while.”

“I’m free. What do you want to do?”

“Come and fetch me. I have something to ask you. I’m at…”

Mo Xiu hung up the call. He had nothing to do while waiting for Zheng Yi, so he looked through his phone.

When he opened the Shadow Software, a notification popped up.

“You have received 2,000 points. The Points Mall has opened.”

Mo Xiu realized that there was really a Points Mall option beside his profile.

Mo Xiu felt that the Points Mall must be very high-end. There would definitely be some herbs inside.

When he opened it, he was dumbfounded. What was this?

“One hundred pounds of rice for one point.”

“One pair of designer shoes for two points.”

“One car for 100 points.”

“One pig for 10 points.”

What the hell was this? It was practically a grocery store. There was even a pig that actually cost 10 points. Oh, sorry, pork was indeed expensive now.

Just as Mo Xiu was about to curse, he realized that the Points Mall was the same as his shopping application. It recommended popular products to him.

Mo Xiu couldn’t help but wonder what kind of people among the Shadows paid attention to such things.

He found the classification search bar and took a look at what was available. This Points Mall was really all-encompassing. It had everything from divine-grade herbs weapons to socks and shoes.

Mo Xiu took a quick look and found a herb that he was more familiar with, the Spirit Ring. The price of one Spirit Ring was 50,000 points.

It seemed that herbs were expensive no matter where they were sold. He had only received 8,000 points from a Grade-B mission, while a Spirit Ring cost 50,000 points.

As he flipped through the products, a car horn sounded. Mo Xiu looked up and saw that it was Zheng Yi.

After Mo Xiu got into the car, Zheng Yi asked, “Where have you been these past few days? You practically vanished into thin air. Why did you call me out the moment you appeared?”

“I want to buy a house for my mother.”

“Where?”

“I want to buy a house that’s near your place. I hope that someone can take care of my mother.”

Zheng Yi thought for a while before gritting his teeth and saying, “Alright, the houses near my house are a little expensive. I might not be able to afford them, but the prices of the houses in the neighborhood are still acceptable. I’ll borrow money from my dad to buy them for you.”

“There’s no need for that. I’ll just buy a house in your neighborhood, preferably a house next to yours.”

Zheng Yi glared at him and said, “Mo Xiu, you’re pushing your luck. Where can I get you that much money?”

Mo Xiu said angrily, “Who told you to use your money to buy me a house? I’ll buy the house myself. I’ll visit your house later and ask your parents to take care of my mom.”

Zheng Yi was stunned. Mo Xiu asked, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Zheng Yi said, “Mo Xiu, the house next to mine might cost five million yuan.”

“Yeah, that’s no problem.”

“That’s right. I know you can’t afford it, but… Ah?!! Are you telling me that there’s no problem?!!”

Mo Xiu couldn’t stand Zheng Yi’s nagging anymore, so he pulled Zheng Yi out of the car and looked at his balance again.

When he returned to the car, Zheng Yi asked worriedly, “Mo Xiu, you… You haven’t been provided for by a rich lady over the past few days, right? Which rich lady is so rich?”

Mo Xiu simply couldn’t take it anymore. He slammed the car door shut and said, “Cut the crap. Let’s go. We’ll move tomorrow after we’re done here today.”

Zheng Yi wanted to ask more, but seeing that Mo Xiu was unhappy, he could only give up. Then, he drove back to his house.

Mo Xiu first bought some gifts and went home with Zheng Yi. Although Zheng Yi’s family background wasn’t as extravagant as Mu Qingyi, Liu Ziyang, and Yue Yuan’s, they were still considered extremely wealthy.

Mr. Zheng worked in a security company. He had high prestige and status there.

Bodyguards were considered top jobs in today’s society because many people who were good at business did not have the strength to protect themselves. They could only hire bodyguards to guard themselves.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Zheng was a businesswoman and had a small company. Thus, the Zheng family was quite famous in the area.

Zheng Yi’s parents weren’t old-fashioned people. Mo Xiu had come to the Zheng family’s house once before and both of them had a good impression of him.

Now that they knew that Mo Xiu was the top scholar in the college entrance examination, they praised Mo Xiu in front of Zheng Yi.

After Mo Xiu made some polite remarks, he explained his intentions. Mr. Zheng agreed without any hesitation.

After that, he even helped Mo Xiu communicate with his neighbor, who quickly agreed to sell the house to Mo Xiu.

After an entire afternoon of handling the procedures, this house belonged to Mo Xiu. It cost 5.5 million.

The neighbor had also agreed to move out the next day. The people who could live here definitely had more than just this property. On account of Mr. Zheng, as well as the fact that Mo Xiu was the top scholar of the college entrance examination, the other party was very willing to give Mo Xiu this favor.

Before Mo Xiu left, he felt a little embarrassed. Mr. Zheng was so busy with work, yet he even took the entire afternoon to help Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu felt a little apologetic. He had to thank the Zheng family in the future.

Mo Xiu had been busy the entire day and only returned home around 9 pm.

The moment he entered the house, she saw a figure and a table full of food.

His mother was still the same. Mo Xiu sat at the table and looked at the scattered white hair on her mother’s head, feeling a little upset.

His hard work over the years had paid off. He could let his mother lead a better life.

However, her mother had been too tired and lonely all these years. She had been guarding such a home alone.

“Xiao Xiu, you haven’t been home for the next few days. Many admission notices have been sent home. You can go and take a look at which school you want to go to before replying to them.”

Her mother pointed to a bag on the sofa.

After the college entrance examination ended, the various universities would send admission notices to the students who wanted to be admitted. The students would choose which school they wanted to go to. Then, they would need to send a message to the designated number on the notice.

“Mom, let’s not talk about this for now. I bought you a house near Zheng Yi’s house so that we can take care of one another. We’ll move there tomorrow. By the way, you should quit your job too.”

Li Yuan looked at her son seriously and said, “Xiao Xiu, where did you get the money?”

“Mom, I earned the money from doing missions. Don’t worry, I’m doing the right thing.”

“Missions? As long as you can walk the right path, I’m alright with anything.”

“Mom, can we move there tomorrow?”

“Alright! Alright!”

…

After dinner, Mo Xiu returned to his room with a bag of admission notices.

He spread them out on the bed and realized that there were probably more than a hundred cards.

Although the news of Mo Xiu being the top scorer had been blocked, the universities weren’t stupid. They all extended their olive branches to him.

He opened one of them and took a look. The reward was 200,000 yuan.

Mo Xiu hadn’t expected that his status as the top scholar of the college entrance examination would allow him to start earning money.

However, Mo Xiu wasn’t interested in these things. He just wanted to see what conditions Yanjing University had offered.

Mo Xiu only wanted to go to the best school. No matter what the other schools offered, he wouldn’t go.

After flipping through for a long time, he finally found the notice from Yanjing University.

There was only one reward for accepting the offer. His tuition fees would be free as he would receive a full scholarship.

Mo Xiu smiled. Yanjing University was indeed confident and did not give him any special privileges.

He sent a message to the number on the notice.

“Shun City First High School, Mo Xiu, 1,000 marks for the college entrance examination.”
