From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

By the end of November during the Abyss Descent, the real estate prices in Coastal's Mingqiong District suddenly skyrocketed, doubling in less than three days, with prices increasing more than tenfold, but essentially there was no market for it.

After this news was released, Lu Heng knew that the plans for the Coastal Base City were confirmed, and the news had been known by some higher-ups, causing the prices in Mingqiong District to soar.

As the fog area expanded, human living space was further compressed, and establishing a base city to ensure the safety of the city was inevitable.

In his previous life, the location of Coastal Base City was in Mingqiong District.

The base city plan hadn't been announced yet, but some people had already received the news, and the financial magnates entered the market to buy up real estate in Mingqiong District, naturally causing the prices to soar.

The drastic fluctuation in prices would inevitably bring about a series of changes.

Those who had spare cash all hoped to buy a house in Mingqiong District, after all, it was the safest place for the next few years.

The parents of the Lu and Su families, hearing that the prices of their current homes had increased more than tenfold, were shocked and could hardly believe it.

Li Xiuyun, while Lu Heng was home, eagerly asked, "Is the house registered under your name, or can we just live in it?"

Lu Heng rolled his eyes, returned to his room to look around, found the property deed and handed it to her, then packed up and prepared to leave.

Actually, the house meant nothing really.

When Hengyu Company was established, its headquarters was set up in Mingqiong District, so there was an office building on the new CBD side of Mingqiong District.

Lu Mingli helped his son explain, "You're just overthinking it, you have no idea what status our son has now, he has been awarded two first-class medals. I couldn't even touch a first-class medal when I was in the military."

Lu Heng waved his hand to call the Mechanical Tiger into the room and said, "There might be some changes in Mingqiong District for some time. It's uncertain whether it will cause chaos, so don't go out if it's not necessary. Just let Anka guard the house, I need to go out for a while."

The Mechanical Tiger, Anka, used to not have an anti-gravity module and was very inconvenient to move because of its weight.

After all, it weighed nearly two tons and couldn't use an elevator.

With the anti-gravity module, it was different; it could weigh as much or as little as wanted, and could even float lightly.

So, after the last return, Lu Heng brought the Mechanical Tiger home and added his parents' information to the owner's list of the Mechanical Tiger.

"If I had known that the house prices would rise dozens of times, I would have used the card you gave me last time to buy houses," Li Xiuyun felt a bit regretful.

In the past year, Lu Heng had given his parents several cards, saying they could use them freely, and the amounts in the cards were quite large.

However, Li Xiuyun's mindset had not changed, so she kept the cards, thinking about leaving the money for her son.

In case the business was not doing well in the future, they could use this money to make a comeback.

Lu Heng had told his parents they could use the cards freely when he gave them out, so whatever they decided to do with the money was fine, even saving it.

As for using the money to buy houses, in reality, they could not buy many, maybe one or two at most, not a big difference.

"We wouldn't miss that little bit of money from you, I told you to use it freely. Think bigger in the future, you need to learn to change your mindset," Lu Heng had now become a ruthless figure who dared to take advantage of international financial syndicates, but his parents' mindset could not change that quickly.

Not even a year into the Abyss Descent, Lu Heng's development had been too fast, causing his parents to be unable to adjust to these changes in such a short time, their thoughts remained the same as before.

"I know you are capable," Li Xiuyun was very happy in her heart, after all, her son was successful.

She also knew her son was very capable, but she was not sure how capable exactly.

After all, Lu Heng did not like to show off, and actually, few people knew his real strength.

Lu Mingli probably knew a bit more, as he would boast about his son to his former military colleagues.

Additionally, there were some people who wanted to give gifts and asked for their help through connections.

There were even some people who came to their door asking for help, people they could not reach before.

In the past, the couple had begged many people for the sake of their son's schooling, and even when they asked for help directly, they were not assisted.

Now the situation had reversed, and those people had come asking for their help, with attitudes as warm as if they were totally different people.

The couple worried about causing trouble for their son and usually politely declined, unless the relationship was very close.

...

Lu Heng changed his shoes and left the house, Li Xiuyun followed him to the door and asked, "Will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"I'll try to, but I'm not sure about the time, just eat when it's ready," Lu Heng waved and entered the elevator.

Leaving Qionghua Tianglu District, Lu Heng went to the training ground.

Last night, he had received a message from the Creator Organization, arranging to meet here today.

When Lu Heng arrived, two people were already there in the training ground.

One was 013 Black Crow, the other was 031 Derek Wolf.

Derek Wolf was in his human form, not transformed into a werewolf.

The three of them stood in a triangular position, and Derek Wolf spoke first, pointing at Lu Heng and complaining,

"I detected 027's presence in the Abyss Battlefield, tracked it four times, but he never joined me in the pursuit once."

013 Black Crow, in an emotionless voice, asked, "028, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Heng spread his hands, "Nothing much to say, why don't you ask him if he saw the shadow of 027."

013 Black Crow turned to Derek Wolf and asked, "Did you see 027?"

Derek Wolf shook his head, "I detected his presence."

Lu Heng helped him translate, "This fool has been completely played, he didn't even see the shadow of 027."
