For Lu Li, the most important factor was the security . After interacting with other people in the area and talking to his agent, he found out that there were many retired people, such as ex-government workers and professors who lived here . There were also frequent security patrols .
Of course, the houses here weren't that cheap . Although this area seemed not that prestigious, the matter of fact was that the real estate here were much more expensive than most houses in the city .
Furthermore, even those with money were not guaranteed a house in this area . However, once the real estate agent knew that Lu Li was interested in this area, he immediately reported this to his supervisor . Not long after, the ones who were managing this area contacted Lu Li's agent .
Truthfully, this was not that surprising .
It wasn't that they were trying to suck up to Ruling Sword and wanting to give them whatever they asked, but it was because the representation of property was different .
The city organisation had investigated Lu Li's background beforehand . Besides the admiration of his rise to the top, the possibility of his hatred towards the more wealthy and powerful would cause unwanted conflicts . After all, Lu Li's words were Ruling Sword's wishes .
Fortunately, these things did not happen, since Lu Li was a man who did not hold many grudges and had a calm demeanour .

However, partnerships like these were fickle . Ruling Sword would still be Ruling Sword, with or without external support . From the very beginning, they already proved their survival capabilities . On the other hand, if Jiangnan did not have Ruling Sword, then the city would be one without clubs and entertainment organisations . Star Moon Guild was deemed as a failing organisation, so Ruling Sword was their only hope .
When Lu Li wanted to buy a house, he would look within the area that Ruling Sword had been established .
If Ruling Sword was established in Jiangnan, then they would most likely represent Jiangnan in the eSports competitions . Therefore, after knowing that the boss of Ruling Sword wanted to buy a house, they would do their best to offer him one .
Lu Li arrived to visit a 700-metre-square detached double-storey house with a garden and a pool . Furthermore, the required maintenance and renovations were already complete . The original owner was an architect and was planning on leaving this house for his son to inherit . Unfortunately, their son fell in love with someone who lived in Ireland, so he moved accordingly .
Jiangnan was not a prestigious city, and the real estate prices did not fluctuate as much as others . However, the owner still set a price of 26 million .
Too expensive!
Lu Li still wanted the house, so he had to take a loan from the bank . However, the bank was not worried that he wouldn't be able to pay it back .
The organisation also sent a secretary who was responsible for these affairs . It seemed like everything was going smoothly; Lu Li inspected the house in the morning, then signed the contract in the afternoon . On top of this, he now had a 20-million-dollar debt .

Without Lu Li, there would be no Ruling Sword . Without Ruling Sword, Jiangnan would not have entered the list of cities for eSports competitions . Therefore, it was only natural for the city to support Ruling Sword . To buy and gift a mansion to him would definitely make Lu Li obedient in this partnership .
Unfortunately, no such thing was possible .
Firstly, the huge amount of money would definitely be noticed and would not escape investigation, even under notable names and authorities . Secondly, no one would have the ability to simply gift a mansion .
Then again, the prospects of securing Lu Li's loyalty with a mansion were extremely unlikely .
The maintenance procedures were already complete prior to their moving . Furthermore, there would be regular cleaners who would come in and tidy the place up . This was already all handled by the city organisation . Lu Li and his sister had never been extremely wealthy . Even when they did have money, they did not bother with buying unnecessary items . As such, when they moved out, they only needed to pack one bag each .
The three female landlords were saddened at their departure, especially for Lu Xin . After all, they had built with her a strong relationship with her during her time there .
However, they understood Lu Xin's dream of owning her own house . After all, their own house was also a rented one that they only planned on living in temporarily .

Of course, they had backup plans in place for when there would be available space . After Lu Li and Lu Xin's departure, they contacted Ruling Sword, where there were a few females who were interested in renting a room .
In Lu Li's new house, after repeatedly warning his sister to not get too excited, he gave up .
As of now, Lu Xin's sickness was already nearly cured . Her day-to-day excitement would no longer damage her body . Last month during her monthly check up, the doctor was extremely happy regarding her recovery . In half a year, Lu Xin would return to normal and be able to live like a normal girl .
Lu Li liked many small aspects of the house . He had to give kudos to the architect for his exceptional taste of lifestyle .
Such aspects included a V-6 port used for gaming, which Lu Li even ordered the newest gaming system for .
Previously, he had to work extremely hard just for a helmet, but now, he could buy a gaming system worth a few hundred thousand dollars with the click of his fingers . He even bought a customised one for Lu Xin to accommodate her body condition, although that one would arrive later than his .
Lu Li's system arrived that afternoon .
He was ecstatic, so he entered the machine straight away .
How comfortable!
This was the main selling point . Compared to wearing a helmet and lying on the bed, this chamber-like machine simply was too comfortable . For the bettesters of this machine, this must have felt like they were back in their mother's embrace .
However, Lu Li did not care much about this . He only wanted to know if this would affect his gaming experience .
Lu Li did not have competitions today, so he went to the Blackrock Mountains to train . As long as he did not bother the Fire Elementals, he would be safe fighting these level 55 monsters .
There were obvious changes, such as his field of vision . Lu Li expected this at the very least – otherwise, no one would buy these machines . However, the change was exaggerated in the advertisements . All in all, Lu Li was not completely satisfied with his purchase .
As he rushed towards a monster, he decided to test out his speed, sensitivity and other settings . However, he was disappointed upon finding out that there weren't large differences in these . Perhaps it was because these were all coded into the game itself, so the machine did not affect it .
The only noticeable change was the change in reaction time .
To Lu Li, this was not a good thing as he felt uncomfortable and unsuited to this machine . His rhythm while grinding was not smooth and often sped up or slowed down . After all, he had spent half a year using a helmet, so it was expected that he would not be able to adapt to this machine immediately .
