In Jiangzhong City's Jingxin Lake Villa District, under the guidance of an officer, Jiang Kai took over the two villas next to his own.
The property certificates were written under the names Jiang Lan and Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying was still a little dazed. She was still in middle school, yet under her name she already owned a standalone villa worth a billion.
But according to Jiang Kai, she was still living at their original home for now.
That night, when they got home, Jiang Kai asked about his eldest brother.
"Big brother wasn't at ease about you, so he joined the newcomer trial ahead of time." Jiang Ying said. "It's been about a month now, and he hasn't come back once in this period."
"Yingzi, don't worry yourself. Big brother doesn't need you to fret over him. Besides, back then Brother Jiang promised me he'd take good care of big brother."
When Jiang Kai heard that, he realized Jiang Ying wasn't wrong. Since big brother hadn't died and logged out, maybe he was just quietly developing somewhere.
"I'm not exactly worried about him, it's just… he got to Ghost Star but didn't come to find me, and now he's nowhere to be found. Just what the hell is he up to?"
"Weren't you the same back then?" Yingzi said bluntly.
Jiang Kai froze, actually left speechless.
Right after, Jiang Kai shifted the topic.
"Yingzi, do you have any plans for the future? I've left you a set of destiny materials too, but you'll have to wait until you're eighteen before you can join the newcomer trial. You could also keep studying. As long as you want to, I've already confirmed it for you—you can interview to enter Shangjing University, any major of your choice."
Yingzi frowned, hesitated for a long while, then finally said hesitantly, "Brother, you know I've never been good at fighting since I was little. I… I kind of want to keep studying."
Jiang Kai looked at her seriously. "Are you sure? Once a vocation reaches the extraordinary stage, once you can extract attributes, skills and all that, you're no longer just an ordinary person."
Yingzi shook her head, her gaze growing more and more determined. "But just having war gods isn't enough to defeat beast gods! We need stronger weapons, more advanced technology. These things can't be obtained in Ghost Star."
Jiang Kai propped his chin with one hand and looked at his sister.
So this girl's ambition was actually toward scientific research.
Speaking of which, Yingzi really had shown exceptional talent in learning. Big brother always said Jiang Kai was smart and had decent grades, but first, Jiang Kai's mind wasn't really in studying, and second, even so he was still one of the top among his peers.
But Yingzi's performance in learning went far beyond her peers! Absolutely something even he couldn't hope to catch up to!
Thinking it over, Jiang Kai felt it was still too early to discuss this issue. Who knew if, in another couple of years, this girl would still stick to her current thoughts.
"Brother, I don't need special admission. It's just… I already mastered the current textbook knowledge long ago. I even self-studied high school. I want to directly jump to the third year. Can you ask General Wei about it, see which high school I can go to?"
Jiang Kai almost spit out a mouthful of water. "My dear lady, you're skipping straight to the third year of high school? Leveling up faster than me!"
Jiang Ying frowned. "Brother, I'm not joking with you. Anyway, for the grade-skipping thing, help me figure out a way!"
Jiang Kai held his forehead. So he had worked hard to get her a spot in Shangjing University, but his sister didn't even need it…
"Alright, alright, I'll ask if I can exchange it for something else."
"And also, brother, there's something else for you to handle." After saying that, Yingzi grabbed her schoolbag and placed a pile of notebooks in front of Jiang Kai.
"What? I haven't studied for so long, and besides you already previewed high school content, don't tell me you still want me to explain problems to you?"
"Who wants you to explain problems? I already knew your explanations before were never the simplest methods, they were super dumb!"
Jiang Kai's facial features immediately scrunched together. "After all I was your teacher, and now you're turning your face and denying me?"
"Aiya, stop with so many questions, just sign them! These are from my classmates, from my teachers… these three are from our principal, these four are from the principal of No.7 High School—he asked ours to get them to you. And these few are from the Education Bureau…"
"The hell, what is this situation!" Jiang Kai said in shock.
"Aiya, I'll take some photos, then you sign them later. Don't ask about the rest."
"Uh… oh…"
Click, click—Yingzi's photography skills were really bad, and she perfectly caught Jiang Kai's face looking like a dead man.
After printing, Jiang Kai went crazy signing.
He could ignore others' requests, but Yingzi's request he didn't dare ignore.
"Brother, can't you sign a bit more seriously? Who can even read this chicken-scratch?" Yingzi said in disgust from the side.
"If you want it to look good, you sign it. This handwriting is my style, my personality." Jiang Kai said while scribbling furiously. "Next time don't let people come asking me to sign, so boring."
"You think I want this? Right now in our school… no, globally, you're a famous figure. Oh, right, brother, I think my deskmate Xu Yan might have a crush on you."
Jiang Kai suddenly froze, looking at Yingzi in shock. "A crush? It's always me crushing on others, and now someone actually has a crush on me? Is your deskmate pretty?"
"Brother, how can you be so shallow!"
"This is called being straightforward!" Jiang Kai wasn't reserved at all in front of his sister. "But wait, how old is your deskmate anyway? Aiya, just tell her your brother's impatient, he can't wait for her."
"Brother, do you have a girl you like now? With your fame, I bet a lot of girls are paying attention to you."
"Do I? There are a few who said they want to protect me, but I always feel like what they're after is just my looks. They don't even understand me but already want to protect me."
"Your looks?" Yingzi carefully sized him up. "Brother, you do look better than before, like you've grown into your face. Look at your skin… so thick!" Yingzi pinched Jiang Kai's cheek, wishing she could stretch it several meters.
"It hurts! What are you doing! Quit messing around!" Jiang Kai impatiently brushed her hand away. "Your brother's always been handsome!"
With big brother not at home, the siblings bickered and joked, without any seriousness, almost like things had gone back to how they used to be.
Unfortunately, Jiang Kai could only stay home for two days. The day after tomorrow, he had to return to Ghost Star.
The experience required for level four advancement was ridiculous. Excluding the limitation of advancement materials, many people would take ten to twenty years to reach max level four.
Even though Jiang Kai leveled up fast, to reach max level four within three months was still extremely tight.
The next day, Jiang Kai asked Lu Jun about Yingzi skipping grades.
Lu Jun patted his chest, saying he'd handle it.
After finishing Yingzi's matter, Jiang Kai left her five million as pocket money, then headed back to the landing base.
Before leaving, Yingzi carefully helped straighten Jiang Kai's collar. It was obvious she was reluctant for her second brother to leave.
"Brother, during the national war you must be careful. On the international forums, they're all saying to deal with Huaxia they'll capture the king first, which means killing you first."
Jiang Kai smiled faintly. "You think your brother is so easy to kill?"
Yingzi sighed long. "Brother, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Can you not show off so much in the future? Every time I watch you fight, I feel like I'm going to get a heart attack."
Jiang Kai patted her head. "Silly girl, got it."
"And also, if you find big brother, let me know."
"Mm."
After returning to the login zone, Jiang Kai noticed Su Lanlan staring at him.
When they reached the teleportation gate, Jiang Kai frowned at her. "Hey, why do you keep staring at me while I'm taking my clothes off?"
Su Lanlan's eyes immediately widened. "Who—who was staring at you taking your clothes off! You're going through the green channel, of course I have to keep an eye on it!"
Jiang Kai looked at her half-skeptically. Since he didn't have evidence, he just said, "How's Nuannuan lately? Heard she went on a special mission."
"It's already called a special mission, how should I know?" Su Lanlan said.
Jiang Kai couldn't get any info, so he just shook his head and got ready to step into the teleportation array.
"Hey!" Su Lanlan suddenly called out to Jiang Kai.
"Want to make another bet?"
Jiang Kai frowned and turned back. "Another bet? What bet?"
"If you die in the national war, you'll treat me to a movie. If you don't die, I'll agree to one of your conditions." When Su Lanlan said the bet, she turned her head aside and didn't look at Jiang Kai. "Ahem, it's just… this time in the national war everyone says you'll be assassinated. I don't think you can possibly survive."
"Heh, if you put it that way, then I really don't believe in this fate." Jiang Kai sneered. "Just wait to agree to one of my conditions."
With that, Jiang Kai strode into the teleportation array.
