Chapter 642: Wanting To Buy A Home

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Tailor's Secret (Special): Intelligence +15, Sewing Speed +10%, Tailor Success Rate +10%. Equipment Requirement: level 10. Durability 36/36.

This was an item designed specifically for tailors.

In terms of attributes, the Intelligence stat could be ignored as it was negligible. The sewing speed property was okay; it was better than nothing, but the true value of this item came from the +10% Tailor success rate. This meant that equipment had a better chance of being completed, and there was a better chance of higher quality equipment being produced.

Now that he had received this item, the last few hours were no longer a waste.

In fact, this quest wasn't difficult for any player higher than level 30. The challenge was that if you made a mistake, the entire quest line would be wasted.

The failure rate for quest was quite high. Even with Lu Li's knowledge of the strategy, he come close to failing in some parts.

"Have you finished your Instance Dungeons?" Lu Li asked.

"Almost. Wandering isn't doing his part," Azure Sea Breeze joked. "I think we should replace him with Lu Li."

"Old man, you're really crossing the line. The Boss is about to go berserk, and it's a good thing this is a virtual world – otherwise, you would be sent to the hospital." Wandering rudely retorted as if Lu Li wasn't even listening.

"How many Bosses have you fought?" Lu Li was speechless.

"We're up to the last one; we're almost done now. If we hadn't quarreled, we probably would have finished by now."

This was Fat Monkey talking; he was more collected.

"That's good. March Rain, let me know when you're done. I have something for you…" Lu Li said.

"What is it?"

Lu Li hadn't even finished before Lonesome Flower gruffly interrupted, "Mr. Lu, you better not be hitting on my sister, or else you'll see what will happen!"

Lu Li: …

March Rain: …

Everyone else: …

This sister-con was getting more and more serious.

March Rain was a beautiful and refined girl, and ever since she had become a professional player, she suddenly had many more pursuers.

Lonesome Flower was afraid that his sister would be taken away by a bad boy, so he had become even more tense recently.

"I did a quest and got an item for a Tailor," Lu Li said, explaining the Tailor's Secret to the sister-con. However, he didn't mention how he had specifically gone out to look for this item, and made it seem like it was a bonus drop that didn't cost him anything.

"Thanks Lu Li," March Rain thanked Lu Li, then said with a hint of regret, "It's too bad that those two equips have already been completed. Otherwise, I would have been able make them at a higher quality."

"They're already pretty good." Lu Li was content with what he had.

He thought for a moment before sending the Tailor's Secret to March Rain by mail. He didn't want to give it to her personally – otherwise, Lonesome Flower might try to defend her.

Lonesome Flower made it seem like he was the only one with a younger sister, but Lu Li's sister was cuter anyway.

Lu Li went off and continued farming.

After it was time to log off, he washed up and took his sister out for a walk as per the doctor's instructions. Her wound had already healed, but her bodily functions had deteriorated after prolonged bed rest. If she didn't exercise, not only would her muscles atrophy and scar, but more serious health problems might present themselves.

Lu Xin was walking quite vigorously because of the scars on her body.

Although the doctors had promised that they would gradually subside, 200 years of medical research ensured that this wouldn't be an issue.

"Brother, when will be able to go home?" Lu Xin had been asking this question often recently.

"Where? To the rented house?" Lu Li asked as he carefully walked his tired sister to a chair.

"I miss Huan Huan and the other sisters. They said that they were coming to see me today, but they didn't." Now that Lu Xin had come so close to death, she was pretty good at manipulating her emotions.

"That is just a rented house, and they're just friends." Lu Li was a little jealous that she remembered them even though she had been under the anesthesia.

"But…" Lu Xin furrowed her brow.

"How about we buy a house in Jin Ling?" Lu Li suggested, taking her opinion into account. He was the master of their family, but she still had some power.

"No!" Lu Xin opposed without hesitation. She stared directly at her brother's face and asked, "Is it because Water Sister is in Jin Ling? That's why you don't want to go back…"

They were a couple!

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Li was dumbfounded and wanted to slap her but she was still a recovering patient. He made a mental note of it and would take it up again with her in future.

"What else?" Lu Xin asked in response.

"This is a convenient place. If anything happens, we can get to the hospital immediately. Although there are also hospitals in Jiangnan, this is where you had your operation," Lu Li explained.

"Brother, how can you do this? Who buys a house because of a hospital?" Lu Xin was speechless about her brother's train of thought, but she was also touched. She never had parents growing up and Lu Li was the only one she had. Even so, he would always try his best to make sure she lived a good life.

"Alright…" Lu Li thought about it and realized this wasn't the best way.

In fact, the main reason was because he wasn't as attached to the land as Lu Xin was. There was actually nothing wrong with Jiangnan in his mind.

This so-called hometown was peaceful and was also his sister's hometown.

"Is it because we have no money left?' Lu Xin asked cautiously.

With information being so easily spread, the total cost of the treatment could easily be found online. It had been conducted in the best ward, with the best doctor and the best nursing care…

At the very least, the cost would be among the millions!

"We have enough money; your brother is better than you can imagine."

Lu Li didn't tell her that he had owed a debt to a female tycoon. He could have easily paid for the surgery, but it was the post-operation treatment that stretched him out a little.

However, he didn't want to compromise here. He wanted everything to be the best, so he borrowed five million dollars from Water Fairy. That was an amount he couldn't even generate in his previous life, but he was thinking about it so casually now.

He had no intention of returning that money any time soon. First of all, he needed to pay for the post-operation fees, but then, he had to buy a house.

The Lu siblings needed a real home.
