《Complete Martial Arts Attributes》Chapter 153: Jealousy Caused Me To Fall Apart
Advertisement
After the meal, Wang Teng's family drove to Deer Garden.
Li Xiumei was carrying Doudou in her arms, who remained quiet. Li Xiumei had told Wang Shengguo and Wang Teng earlier that she was usually very lively. This wasn't her usual self.
The family of three was worried about this child. She had just received an enormous stimulation. What if she couldn't let it go?
"Doudou, what snacks do you want to eat? Shall I buy some for you later?" Li Xiumei attempted to open up her heart.
"Thank you, Auntie. I don't eat snacks," Doudou shook her head and whispered.
"Then… what about some Barbie dolls? Let's buy a pretty one?" Li Xiumei didn't give up. She pondered for some time and opened her mouth again.
"Auntie, there's no need," Doudou lowered her head and said.
Li Xiumei felt helpless. She looked at Wang Teng and wanted to seek his help.
…Wang Teng shrugged. How would he know how to coax a child?
…
Deer Garden.
Wang Shengguo drove his car to the sales department. It was in the evening, so there were a lot of staff and customers in the sales department.
"Good evening!"
The moment they entered the lobby of the sales department, a sales manager wearing a black suit welcomed them.
The sales managers in Deer Garden's sales department were all good-looking. The quality of people was quite high.
"You must be Mr. Wang, right? You came before," the male sales manager smiled and said.
"Oh, you still remember me?" Wang Shengguo was surprised.
"Of course. I remember all my clients," the sales manager said.
This was what he said on the surface. Actually, the sales manager remembered Wang Shengguo because he didn't bring enough money the last time. He had left a stronger impression on him.
"Since you know me, things will be easier. Can you bring me to the villa I looked at the last time? This time, my son will be paying." Wang Shengguo didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he was very proud.

The sales manager looked at Wang Teng in surprise.
He knew the price of the villas in Deer Garden clearly.
At first, he thought that Wang Shengguo had prepared the money one way or another. He didn't expect this young man to be the one paying.
Can he afford it?
This doubt flashed past the sales manager's mind. However, he didn't raise it verbally.
He was just a sales manager. He didn't have the right to look down on a person who was able to present the credentials to buy a house here.
Thus, he nodded his head hurriedly and smiled. "Alright, the three of you, erm… the four of you can follow me."
He almost missed the little girl!
The sales manager brought Wang Teng and his family out of the sales department. There was a special coach meant for touring the estates. He fetched them to the front of the villa.
The sales manager took out the keys and opened the door.
Wang Teng followed Wang Shengguo and toured the house. Overall, it was not bad. The lighting, layout, and design were compatible with the Wang family's taste.
The quality of renovation in Deer Garden was quite high, so it was able to satisfy their needs. They didn't need to renovate this house again.
As for the furniture, they needed to purchase them individually.
But, as long as they had the money, this wasn't a problem.
"What do you think, son?" asked Wang Shengguo.
"As long as you like it. I plan to buy a house for you all to live in," Wang Teng said.
Li Xiumei and Wang Shengguo gave a comforting smile. One could tell that they liked this villa.
"I'll take this block. Let's sign the agreement." Wang Shengguo turned around and spoke to the sales manager.
The sales manager was delighted. In his heart, he was jumping up and down. If he was able to complete this transaction, he could earn a high commission.
"Alright, let's go and sign the agreement now."

The few of them went back to the sales department. The sales manager invited Wang Teng and his family into an office room and personally served them some tea and pastries.
"Would you like to make a full payment or pay in installments?"
The sales manager looked at Wang Teng instinctively when he said this.
"I'll make a full payment," Wang Teng said.
"Is there any discount if we make a full payment?" Wang Shengguo asked from the side.
"Yes. If you make a full payment, the highest discount we can give you is 3%. You will also be able to enjoy three years of property management for free," The sales manager said. Then, he thought of something. "Oh, our company has another rule. If the buyer is a martial warrior, he can enjoy a 10% discount."
"10%?!" Wang Shengguo was flabbergasted. He glanced at Wang Shengguo uncontrollably.
This company was so generous!
A 10% discount meant that this 300 million house would cost 270 million now. It was a 30 million discount.
Indeed, martial warriors would get benefits everywhere they went. The rumors were true!
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei looked at each other. They had the same thought.
"Yes, this is a discount for martial warriors. Normal people won't be able to enjoy it," the sales manager said with envy.
"I love a company like yours… Here, this is my martial warrior credential."
Wang Teng was straightforward. He took out his martial warrior documents and placed them on the table.
The sales manager: …
He looked at the little booklet on the table and suddenly felt stunned.
That was just a casual remark. He didn't expect there to be a martial warrior in this family.
And it was the young man who was making the purchase. No wonder he could afford the house…
When this thought went through his mind, the sales manager became even more polite and said cautiously, "I need to verify it."
"Sure." Wang Teng nodded.
The sales manager took out a device and scanned the martial warrior credential. He confirmed Wang Teng's identity.
"Mr. Wang, your identity has been verified. You can enjoy the 10% discount from our company." The sales manager passed the martial warrior credential back to Wang Teng respectfully.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei felt proud and complicated at the same time.
Next, they proceeded with the house buying. They paid and signed the contract.
A slash of the card, and 300 million was gone!
Fortunately, they had the house. After they bought all the furniture, they could move in right away.
"Have a nice day!" The sales manager sent Wang Teng and his family to the door and watched them leave in their car.
When he returned to the lobby, a few other sales managers immediately gathered around him.
"Brother Lin, did the family make a purchase just now?"
"Yes. They took out 300 million just like that." the sales manager, who had received Wang Teng and his family, said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, 300 million. Brother Lin, you can buy a house with your commission this time." The other sales managers were extremely jealous.
"Such rich people!"
"Brother Lin, how much discount did you give them?"
"10%!"
"What? 10%! There's a martial warrior among them!" The other sales managers were dumbfounded.
"That's right. The young man is a martial warrior. He's the one who paid for the house," the sales manager replied.
"Martial warriors. They are wealthy and enjoy all kinds of benefits. Jealousy is causing me to fall apart…"
…
In the car, Wang Teng said, "Dad, Mom, find time tomorrow and buy some furniture. Move as quickly as possible. It's safer there."
"Alright, we will take a look tomorrow," Wang Shengguo said.
After they reached home, Li Xiumei threw Doudou to Wang Teng and asked him to help take care of her for a moment while she tidied and arranged Doudou's room.
In the living room, Wang Teng and Doudou sat opposite on the sofa and stared at each other.

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich.

Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.

Re-Ordaining of the Chosen
Alea cheerfully hummed as she descended the steps, brimming in upbeat while her colleague, Quarren Leos, shot her a look of skepticism. “So… were you right about him?” he asked doubtfully. She came to a stop for a moment, her humming falling silent before she shook her head, waving her medium length light-blonde hair from side to side. “I was wrong about him.” Quarren raised an eyebrow in confusion at the convoluted response.“But you seem quite happy?” he asked again. “Because I am. But I was wrong about him. He was… so much more than I ever expected.” Alea looked at the sky overhead with a smile. “That boy… no, that man, is amazing. I firmly believe he will come to stand on top of any adversary he faces. He is destined. He is Chosen.” Quarren snorted as he stepped past, shaking his head. “Okay. Each to their own beliefs but you’re sounding like a nutjob. That skinny twig? Everyone calls him a cripple, you know,” he shook his head.“Rumours are always false, Leos,” Alea answered with a disapproving shake of her head. “You wouldn’t know. He is so, so much more.” “I saw him with my own two eyes. I didn’t see anything redeeming,” Quarren rebutted. “Well…” Alea chuckled. “You haven’t seen what I’ve seen.” In the year 917 of the Imperial Calendar, the Great War had just ended between dozens of nations. Farrien welcomed home millions of troops and warriors with the Archdukes of Aerianne and Kanaria leading them at the forefront. Since the founding of Farrien, the Aerianne and Kanarian Archduchies have been pillars upholding the Kingdom from enemies. It was common belief that they possessed special blood blessed by the Goddess Stecia, who gifted the lineage to the first King of Farrien when he first founded the country. All were ecstatic when the current generation of the two Archduchy's, after the war, agreed to let their children wed. The excitement was short-lived however when the Aerianne Princess proved to be a dragoness among men but the Kanarian Prince was worse than even mediocre. The Prince disappeared and the wedding was shortly forgotten as society lived on. Until one day the Young Heir of Kanaria returned to Farrien a changed man, bringing demise with him. Follow the story of the Chosen ordained by the Goddess of Time as he returns to the past to right his wrongs and set things back straight again! Many thanks to xSTAYc for the cover design and various co-creative elements in the conscription phase! :p
