Chapter 255: Chapter 255: The Chaos of the Slum
Su Jin’s advancement didn’t finish until late into the night.
After the whole family had successfully advanced, they didn’t go to rest right away, but instead took out several decks of playing cards downstairs and played Landlord while waiting for Su Jin to complete her advancement.
Nie Qing initially just watched from the sidelines, but gradually he also picked up some tricks and clamored to join in for a round.
“Uncle Nie, go ahead, I’ll help you check your cards from behind,”
Lin Xiuyuan generously gave up his seat to him.
“Hehe, thanks, Kid Lin,” ƒгeewёbnovel.com
...
Nie Qing found these playing cards to be quite magical; seeing Su Xiangzhe and Lu Guanhai win a few rounds, he couldn’t help but want to give it a try as well.
Lu Guanhai and Su Xiangzhe exchanged glances and then laughed.
“Uncle Nie, it’s best to arrange your cards in order of rank, so it’s more convenient when you play them,”
Lin Xiuyuan, seeing the disordered bunch of cards in Nie Qing’s hand, felt a headache coming on as Nie Qing confidently claimed the Landlord role for himself, declaring that he would leave none standing…
“What do you know, this is what I call ‘order in chaos, and there’s reason in the order’!”
Nie Qing said with feigned composure.
“Then you… Go for it, go for it,”
Lin Xiuyuan shrugged his shoulders, looking over at the other end of the table where the three Lin siblings were. As expected, it was always Lin Cheng single-handedly winning against Lin Tianzhen and Lin Tianhui, who from time to time exchanged glances, though Lin Cheng simply turned a blind eye, not bothering to make a fuss over his sisters.
“Mom, Uncle, how about the three of us join in for a game too?” Lin Xiuyuan, watching this, felt the urge to play too.
“Sure, come on, son,”
Huang Yunxiang was quite excited today as well; she had actually advanced to become a Level Three Water Element user, something she had never even dreamed of before.
After Su Jin had successfully advanced, she opened her eyes and saw that Lu Hao was still reading next to her.
“How do you feel?”
Lu Hao closed his book and tossed it aside, asking as he walked over and felt Su Jin’s forehead.
“I’m Level Five now!” Su Jin said excitedly.
Lu Hao smiled and gently pinched her nose, saying, “Xiao Jin, you are really amazing! Congratulations.”
“Did you make it too?” Su Jin asked.
Lu Hao nodded, he was now a Level Four Fire Element user.
“It’s still raining, is everyone okay?” Su Jin asked worriedly.
“They’re all waiting for you downstairs; let’s go down together,” Lu Hao replied.
Su Jin didn’t expect the whole family to be worried about her, and just as she was moved by this thought, she heard Nie Qing’s excited shout from below: “I’m the Landlord!”
“Are they really waiting for me?”
Su Jin stood at the top of the staircase and muttered, watching the busy family.
Mrs. Su and Lin Tianhui didn’t even bother to turn their heads as they said, “Xiao Jin, you’re awake? I’m playing a pair sequence! Hahaha.”
“…”
“Sister Xiao Jin, have you succeeded in advancing?”
Mao Qiqi came over holding the Local Tyrant Gold and asked.
“Qiqi is the best, I succeeded, yes. How about you, Qiqi?” Su Jin remembered that Mao Qiqi was in the midst of advancing earlier as well.
“Yeah, I’m Level Two now, and I can see all the people and zombies in the entire villa complex!” Mao Qiqi said proudly with a beaming smile.
“Zombies?”
