I am chosen by the Four Gods, and you ask me to save the world?

Chapter 27 A Simple Monetary Transaction Relationship

"Cheap? How cheap can it be?"

Xu Yuan smiled and patted Xu Meng's head.

"A huge, huge villa..." Xu Meng suddenly jumped up, making an extremely exaggerated gesture, "I'll take it all for three million in cash!"

Even though Xu Yuan has just graduated from university, he still has a basic understanding of the housing prices in Changsha.

He looked at Old Xu.

"900 square meters, fully furnished, with appliances, move-in ready, 3 million for the whole house."

Old Xu put his hands behind his back, striking a mysterious pose.

"It wasn't anything too amazing, it was just that I used my years of experience in the business to lower the price a little bit..."

Make a wish: ...

A little bit?

Just a tiny bit!

This price, even a scoundrel's father couldn't negotiate it down, let alone a scoundrel's grandfather!

Although Xu Yuan hasn't seen the house yet, at this price, even if there were a spirit inside, Xu Yuan would still consider it artificial intelligence!

The world is about to descend into chaos, and no one knows where the infected will appear.

Moving to a strictly managed villa area is naturally the safest option for ordinary people.

Such an illogical market event occurred, and the total payment happened to be exactly three million...

The only wish I can think of is...

Beve is making a comeback!

However, he didn't spoil the mood; he just smiled and clapped.

"Great, great! So when can we move?"

"Today is fine!" Old Xu's mouth was practically stretched to his ears. "Xiao Meng and I have already gone to check it out. The villa has everything; we just need to bring some clothes."

"Let's start moving now, and we can have a housewarming party tonight!"

Old Xu suddenly seemed to remember something and added something else.

"By the way, if it's convenient for Beiwei, let's invite her tonight too."

……

at the same time.

Subspace.

After Xu Yuan left, the four gods, their faces bruised and swollen, gathered together once again.

The same old trick—internal strife!

"Slaanesh, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you've betrayed us?! Why did you tell that monster?!"

Tzeentch's first words were accusations, his voice so shrill it seemed to pierce eardrums.

Slaanesh had already been beaten by Xu Yuan, so he couldn't stand this insult and immediately sneered.

"Hmph, Tzeentch, why don't you say your plan has problems? How could that monster re-enter so quickly? How could it start fighting right away?"

"What do you mean the plan has a problem! My plan can't possibly have a problem!" Tzeentch's face flushed red, as if he'd been stepped on, his voice suddenly rising, carrying a hint of barely perceptible bravado mixed with cowardice. "This is also part of the plan..."

Khorne: ...

Fighting? Not satisfying!

He is now unable to determine whether Tzeentch's plan has been effective or not.

It might not seem like it was useful, but it definitely had an effect on that monster.

It's useful, isn't it...

However, each time the result was vastly different from what was expected.

"Gurgle... Pfft..."

Nagou, standing to the side, nonchalantly took a handful of viscous, oily green, unidentified semi-solid from the black crucible, slowly stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it noisily.

Khorne: ...

Well, it seems like there's no one else available besides Tzeentch...

"Tell me, how should I cooperate?"

……

the other side.

The Bei family villa.

When Beiwei arrived back, she saw her mother sitting on the living room sofa with a slight frown, clearly having been waiting for a long time.

"You've had two expenses totaling millions in the last two days, one for three million and the other for four million. Can you tell Mom what you spent it on?"

Beiwei was preoccupied with General Zhao's sudden attack, her thoughts in turmoil. She absentmindedly dealt with the situation while walking steadily towards the stairs, preparing to return to her study to handle urgent matters.

"I made a wish."

"You made a wish? And one of the payments is for a house? You two are getting married and buying a house?" Mother Bei stared in shock at Bei Wei's back, a thought flashing through her mind, and she couldn't help but gasp.

In other words, one payment was the bride price from his daughter, and the other was the money they used to buy a house.

Even if it were to save the world from the apocalypse, there's no way to do it by getting married...

"Um..." Mother Bei hesitated for a moment, but still frowned and said, "Weiwei, it's not that I don't support your free choice in love, but isn't this a bit too fast..."

Bevy paused for a moment.

But then she turned around and rolled her eyes at the mother.

"Mom! What are you thinking? We're just..."

For some reason, Beiwei's face flushed slightly.

"...Our relationship was purely transactional!"

"Bang!"

With the sound of the door closing, Bevy slipped into the study.

Only Beimu was left alone on the sofa, constantly drawing in the cold air, which raised the temperature in the living room by several degrees.

She felt like the sky was falling.

My own daughter...

Did the savior drift away?

……

In the study.

Bevy took a few deep breaths, quickly calming her fluctuating emotions.

Only after making sure she was in the zone did she turn on her computer and connect to the top-secret video conference channel that concerned the fate of humanity.

"Excuse me, everyone, I just got back."

When Bevy entered the meeting room, everyone else was already there.

Of course, the one in the middle is an exception. He is extremely busy every day and cannot attend every meeting, but he did send a secretary to attend.

But for Bevy, her gaze was focused on one of the generals in military uniform.

Zhao Guoqiang, General Zhao.

A prominent hawk among the top brass of the Great Xia military, known for his tough style and rich combat experience, he is a true power holder who has risen step by step from the flames of war.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started," Zhao Guoqiang said first, his voice loud and clear, carrying an undeniable authority.

His background appears to be the interior of a moving military vehicle, the light slightly dim, which adds to the somber atmosphere.

"I have some documents here that have just been declassified, but are still classified as top secret. Please review them first."

Before the words were even finished, several encrypted files had already been pushed to the screens of each participant.

The military is known for its swift and efficient operations.

Bevy quickly opened the document, glanced at it a few times, and her heart sank.

As she expected, General Zhao came prepared with a clear objective.

However, Zhao Guoqiang did not give her much time to think and organize her thoughts, and launched a direct attack.

"I believe everyone has read the information. So I'll get straight to the point and share my thoughts and concerns."

"Our technical department has now cross-verified and confirmed that the core participant in yesterday's raid on a warehouse cult stronghold in Florida, USA, which resulted in dozens of deaths, and the recent alleged 'sea monster' attack on an island nation's fishing boat in international waters, is Xu Yuan!"

"These two incidents are sufficient proof that this individual possesses unconventional combat capabilities that far exceed common sense and are extremely destructive!"

Knowing she couldn't let the other side completely take the lead, Bevy immediately interrupted, trying to steer the conversation back to her own position:

"General Zhao, I must clarify! Xu Yuan's actions in Florida were a cross-border manhunt for Cheng Yong, a fugitive on Interpol's Red Notice, conducted under the direction of my 'Stability and Prevent Collapse' task force! His actions were clearly legitimate and necessary!"

As Bei Wei spoke, Zhao Guoqiang's gaze, sharp as a hawk's, locked onto her.

The oppressive feeling, as if it had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, almost penetrated the internet.

"Comrade Beiwei, what I'm about to say is about you and the working group you lead!" His voice suddenly rose in intensity. "A newly established temporary organization with unprecedented authority, whose core work revolves around a young man with a complex social background—their personnel recruitment, resource allocation, especially the creation of a special 'undercover investigation' position for him and the controversial 'rehabilitation of historical issues' for his father—were all these operations procedurally compliant? Is there any suspicion of abusing public power for private gain?"

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have lost their composure under the repeated questioning of this iron-blooded general.

But Bevy is a reborn person who has witnessed the horrors of the apocalypse firsthand, and her will is far stronger than she appears!

"General Zhao, everything I've done is based on the highest and only principle: to 'delay the end of the world'! To buy time for technology to be converted into combat power! For this, special arrangements are a necessary price to pay!"

"That's right! I completely understand and support special measures!" Zhao Guoqiang's tone shifted, his momentum intensifying. "But precisely because of this, I'm even more worried! Entrusting the strategic security and future of a nation, and even all of humanity, to an individual with unclear capabilities, unpredictable motives, a clear tendency towards violence, and who cannot be fully controlled is itself an extreme act of irresponsibility! It's a crime against the people and the nation!"

His words were powerful and resounding, each word striking the hearts of the attendees like a heavy hammer blow. Even several originally neutral senior executives frowned slightly.

This cannot be entirely blamed on them. Before the advent of wishes, such extraordinary individual combat power had never existed within the cognitive framework of human civilization.

The unknown often means uncontrollable and risky.

"But General Zhao, all of Xu Yuan's actions so far, including this cross-border law enforcement operation, have been aimed at criminals who endanger national security, and have not caused any chaos or panic domestically. His actions have clearly had positive effects!"

Bevy argued her case forcefully, and her tone became agitated.

"Furthermore, based on my observations, the bond between a wish and family is the anchor that maintains its stability; forceful methods are absolutely unacceptable! I absolutely disagree! This is an internal matter for my work group!"

Zhao Guoqiang pointed his finger, and a picture was displayed in the conference room.

This is the scene of devastation at the Florida warehouse in the United States, with limbs and fragments scattered everywhere.

"He hasn't caused chaos or casualties domestically yet, but no one can guarantee he won't disrupt order someday!"

"Rather than let all of human civilization perish in uncontrollable internal chaos, I would rather we fight to the last drop of blood in a direct confrontation with an apocalyptic enemy! That way, at least we can have a clear conscience!"

"Furthermore, Comrade Beiwei, maintaining stability is indeed an internal matter for your working group, but maintaining national strategic security is also my duty!"

"To be accountable to the people and the nation, I must comprehensively assess his capabilities and request his cooperation and participation in the research; these capabilities must be controlled by the state!"

"If it can't be controlled, it must be destroyed!"

"If the end of the world comes, I'll be the first to step up!"

"Please look, everyone..."

At this point, Zhao Guoqiang flipped the camera over.

In the camera footage, he is sitting inside a military vehicle, surrounded by a fully armed special operations team.

When the familiar and ordinary street scene outside the window came into Bevy's view—

"boom!"

As if a thunderbolt had exploded in her mind, Bevy froze instantly, her blood seemingly freezing in that moment.

A chilling sensation shot up my spine from the base of my spine and spread throughout my body.

because…

The military vehicle carrying Zhao Guoqiang was currently parked at—

The entrance to Xingfu Residential Community!
