Jiangcheng is one of the twelve base cities in China, with a population of over 100 million. It is protected by the [Blue Moon], which means that compared with other cities, the safety here is more guaranteed, and there is no need to worry about monsters attacking the city all the time.
It also means more opportunities and resources.
Therefore, even the coastal communities are still overcrowded, and poor people cannot afford to buy a house in their lifetime. They are all low-rent housing built by the government.
The house that Lin Feng and his family rent is on the 46th floor of Building 186.
This is the top floor. In order to save electricity, there is not only no elevator, but also because the roof partition is not good, it is cold in winter and hot in summer. The only advantage is that the rent is cheaper.
A monthly rent of S$1,800 is almost impossible to find in Jiangcheng.
The Singapore dollar is the common currency in the world today and is very strong. An ordinary worker's monthly income is only about 3,000 Singapore dollars.
"We have to make money as soon as possible and move out of this damn place."
The air in the narrow, dark and damp staircase was very poor, and there was a musty smell. Combined with the smell of blood that had not yet dissipated, it was nauseating.
"Sister, how are you and Chen Hao doing lately?"
"What else can I do? You still don't know his temperament, so it's the same as before." Lin Kerou frowned slightly and said in a pretending to be relaxed tone.
Lin Feng naturally knew that the eldest sister was hiding it, but she just didn't want to worry him, so she didn't show it.
"Haha, don't lie to me."
Lin Feng chuckled.
Although there is an eight-year age difference between the two, he has had a good relationship with his eldest sister since they were young. The two talk about everything: "I already know that Chen Hao's family is dissatisfied with our family and dislikes our family's lack of money and background.
Right?"
"They are even afraid that we will drag down their family, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Kerou paused, raised her head and said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Did Chen Hao tell you? That idiot, I told him not to say anything, but he still said it."
Lin Kerou was a little angry. She didn't want her family to worry about her problems.
She was also worried that Chen Hao's parents would be dissatisfied with their dislike of poverty and love of wealth, and would have a bad impression of Chen Hao.
Their relationship was already in jeopardy. If even his parents were against it, then this relationship would definitely not be able to survive.
"Don't talk nonsense when you go home. I'll handle my own affairs by myself." Lin Kerou said to Lin Feng, her tone serious and with a trace of pleading at the same time.
"Don't worry, I won't tell."
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the eldest sister.
Although the eldest sister has no cultivation talent, other than that, with her appearance and temperament, Chen Hao is lucky enough to marry her over many lifetimes. His parents still dare to despise her, but he just opened a family.
A small company with an annual income of only a few million, does it really think it is a big consortium?
If the eldest sister didn't really like her and Chen Hao's feelings for her, Lin Feng really didn't want her to marry into such a family.
"Sister, don't worry, trust your brother, give me half a year, I will change the life of the whole family."
"Don't wrong yourself."
"In half a year, or even less than half a year, I will make Chen Hao's family unaffordable."
Lin Kerou looked at Lin Feng's firm eyes and words, raised the corners of her mouth, and showed a warm smile on her face. She was a little touched, so she nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then his family will not be able to reach it."
"Sister, be happy and believe in your brother's ability."
Lin Feng knew that the eldest sister did not take his words to heart, but he did not explain.
"How about it, do you want to rest for a while before climbing?"
Halfway through the climb, Lin Feng asked when he saw the eldest sister slowing down.
For Lin Feng, with his level 7 physical training, climbing stairs is just an easy endurance exercise.
But it was not easy for the eldest sister.
"No, the more you rest, the more tired you will be!"
When the two of them climbed to the 46th floor, Lin Feng was fine, but Lin Kerou was sweating all over, her feet were numb, and her breathing was rapid.
Although spiritual power has recovered and ordinary people's bodies are much stronger than before the catastrophe, climbing 46 flights of stairs is still difficult, so generally speaking, family members rarely go downstairs as long as they go home.

Lin Feng took out the key and opened the door.
What appeared in front of me was a small apartment of less than 30 square meters, with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom.
The location and layout of this house are not good. The room is dark all year round, and the lights have to be turned on even on sunny days. There is no decoration. It is an exaggeration to say that the house is bare-walled, but except for the refrigerator and TV, there are almost nothing of value in the house.
"I'm home."
Hearing a noise, footsteps came from the kitchen.
"Tidy up and let's eat."
A middle-aged woman wearing a small floral apron walked out of the kitchen.
She has long hair that reaches her neck, and her skin is very fair, with some light brown spots. She looks like a very elegant woman, but she gives people a weak feeling. This is
Lin Feng’s mother Lin Fang.
Lin Feng is 70% similar to his mother, mainly inheriting his mother's genes. When they stand together, anyone can tell that they are a mother and son.
Lin Fang first glanced at Lin Kerou, who shook her head without any trace. Lin Fang's expression did not change, and she turned back to the kitchen.
Lin Feng looked startled when he saw his mother.
In his last life, when Jiangcheng was attacked by monsters, he was not at home, so he didn't know if his family members were brutally killed. However, even he could not guarantee that he would survive, let alone his family members who were powerless.
"Mom, what kind of meat are you cooking? It's so delicious."
Lin Feng asked with a smile, his voice trembling slightly.
"Today the tusk pig fried green peppers, of course they are delicious." Mother Lin's voice came from the kitchen.
"Mom, how many kilograms did you buy?" Lin Feng asked casually, obviously he was looking for something to say.
The Tusk Pig is a first-grade monster, equivalent to the strength of a first-grade warrior. It is also the lowest monster. Its meat is delicious and has ten times more energy and blood than ordinary pork. Eating more can strengthen the blood and improve your physical condition.
.
In normal times, a pound of tusk pig costs 300 Singapore dollars, and my mother’s monthly income is only 3,000 Singapore dollars. A pound of tusk pork is equivalent to her three days’ salary, so she can only eat it during holidays.
But today, due to the Awakening Day, there were monster beast corpses everywhere outside the city, so the price of monster flesh and blood was greatly reduced, and the price was only half of the usual price.
This is also the day that many residents in many coastal communities buy monster flesh and blood once a year. They can buy dozens of kilograms at a time and keep it in the refrigerator for a year and a half.
Mother Lin didn't go to work today because she wanted to buy monster flesh and blood.
Because today is the Awakening Day, tonight’s meal is much richer than usual, comparable to the Chinese New Year.
A plate of tusk pork weighing one pound, stir-fried with green peppers, spicy and sour Chinese cabbage, braised carp, three dishes and one soup, and the staple food is white rice.
After the meal was set, the door opened, and a middle-aged man holding a briefcase walked in. The man was in his forties, average-looking, and stout. At first glance, he gave the impression of being honest and honest.
This man is Lin Feng's stepfather Ma Yingzong, known as Lao Ma. Relying on his brother's relationship, he got a job as a public servant. He earns an income of 3,500 Singapore dollars a month and has no other gray income. It can be seen that he is the real Qingshui Yamen, and his income is still
Not as good as some part-time workers.
When Lin Feng was seven years old, his mother and Lao Ma got together. Although Lin Feng never called each other father, he still maintained respect for his stepfather in his heart.
Although in Lin Feng's view, Lao Ma is very ordinary, no matter in appearance or background, he has his own little thoughts and no ambition, otherwise with his brother's relationship, he would not have ended up in such a miserable situation.
But no matter what, he fulfilled his duty as a father and raised him and his eldest sister.
The most important thing is that he loves his mother very much. Since the two got married, they have never had a blushing face. Although they cannot become rich, the family lives a simple and happy life.
"I'm back."
Lao Ma put down his briefcase, changed into slippers, and smiled at Lin Feng.
"Um."
Lin Feng responded, but before he could speak, a fiery figure rushed in.
She was a young girl, not tall, with big eyes, a small mouth, and a little baby fat face. She was not very beautiful, but she was very cute.
"Brother, what demon spirit did you refine today?"
As soon as they entered the house, the girl hadn't changed her shoes yet, so she couldn't wait to ask. Ma Lele is twelve years old and has just entered the first grade of junior high school. They didn't go to class this afternoon. They were watching the live broadcast of the Awakening Day in the classroom.
Not just them, but also many companies. On this special day, who has the thoughts to go to work and go to class?
"Brother, I saw Sister Yage on TV."
"Charming Butterfly! The eighth-grade demon spirit is so cool!"
Ma Lele shouted excitedly and didn't even notice the glances from her father and eldest sister beside her.
"Brother, what kind of demon spirit are you refining?"
"But you are so powerful, you can at least refine sixth-grade demon spirits."
"I heard that Sister Yage also signed a contract with the Star Club. She is prosperous, prosperous..."
Speaking of this, Ma Lele finally noticed that the others looked wrong, and immediately stopped talking, not daring to say anything.
As an adult, Lao Ma learned the news from his neighbors when he first entered the community, so he avoided talking about it. Ma Lele went crazy when he saw Ya Ge at school. After school, he ran all the way home.
Have no idea what happened.
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
Lin Feng smiled and touched Ma Lele's chubby little face. He doted on this half-sister, who was not related by blood, as if he were his own sister.
"Brother, I didn't find any suitable demon spirits today. Those demon spirits are too low-level."
"Brother, is it true?"
Ma Lele seemed to come to life again, jumped suddenly and exclaimed.
She is a loyal fan of Lin Feng. In her eyes, Lin Feng is a well-deserved genius.
She didn't think her brother would lie to her, but she was a little confused: "Didn't Ye Qiu refine the thorn demon dragon ranked 46th on the earth rankings? Brother, can't you even look down on such a powerful demon spirit?"
"Brother, you are a little proud."
"Lele, it's time to eat. A girl has been acting crazy all day long."
Lao Ma said at the right time that he also hoped that Lin Feng would become a demon spiritual master, which could change the family's living environment, but like Lin's mother, he would not put pressure on Lin Feng.
Moreover, Lin Feng is now at the seventh level of physical training. As expected, he will have no problem getting into a key university.
After graduation, you will at least be a first-class warrior.
A first-level warrior, even if he does not follow the path of martial arts, even if he is an ordinary white-collar worker, with a monthly salary of at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, he is still better than him.
Warriors are not simple-minded and have well-developed limbs.
A powerful martial artist is not only very energetic, but can also work overtime for several days in a row. His memory, understanding, and reaction speed are better than ordinary people. Nowadays, companies are in short supply of martial arts talents.
From now on, this family will still rely on Lin Feng.
"The level of the Thorn Demonic Dragon is naturally not low, but I was unlucky and didn't encounter it."
Lin Feng said with a smile.
Regarding his answer, neither Lin's mother nor Lao Ma took it seriously, thinking that Lin Feng was just perfunctory, or just to maintain the great image of his brother in front of his sister.
Lin Feng had no further explanation for this.
"Ah Feng, eat more. You are still in the growth stage, and you can only grow if you eat." At the dinner table, her mother gave Lin Feng some meat, but she didn't eat it herself.
Not only the mother, but also the eldest sister.
It was obvious that Lao Ma wanted to eat it, but he gave it to Lele and refused to eat it himself.
"Mom, sister, and Lao Ma, you guys can eat too."
Lin Feng picked up a few pieces of tusk pork for each of the three mothers. He knew that they wouldn't eat it if he didn't.
"Okay, enough is enough."
Lin Fang pressed Lin Feng's chopsticks with her chopsticks, and a heartfelt smile appeared on her slightly tired face.
She was obviously very pleased that her son was so filial.
"You are still in the qi and blood stage and need to replenish qi and blood. We are not warriors. Eating the flesh and blood of monsters will have no effect."
Lin Fang ate the thinnest and smallest piece of meat, and then put the meat back into Lin Feng's bowl. Lin Kerou did the same.
In their view, Lin Feng is the backbone of the family's future. As long as he becomes stronger, the family will have hope.
Lao Ma ate one piece and gave the rest to Lele.
"Okay, don't pinch it here and there. I like to eat fish. Eat it quickly." Mother Lin urged.
"Brother, I'll give it to you too." Ma Lele followed the example of an adult and gave Lin Feng a piece of meat, then ate it hard.
This made Lin Feng a little bit dumbfounded.
It seems that we need to make money as soon as possible, otherwise we won't even be able to afford meat.
However, Lin Feng enjoys this situation very much. He is a family of five, enjoying themselves happily.
