Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Settling the Family



How many beast gods are lurking here? How many corpses are buried beneath this wasteland? How many teams are locked in combat with beast gods, and how many extraordinary beings have sacrificed their lives here?

The questions from General Wei echoed in Jiang Kai's ears, and it took him a long time to regain his composure.

At this moment, the vehicle had already returned to Jiangzhong City.

After arriving at the military district, Wei Ying instructed Jiang Kai to drive and arranged for Jiang Lan's treatment.

"Jiang Kai, are you really a new profession?" Lu Jun asked while driving. "I'm just curious since it's been years since a new profession emerged in China."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Kai replied calmly, "Yes."

Since General Wei had already guessed, there was no need for Jiang Kai to hide it anymore.

Of course, Wei Ying had also candidly told Jiang Kai that his concerns might become reality—if follow-up profession materials couldn't be found, military support would be limited.

This also implied that Wei Ying tacitly agreed with Jiang Kai's decision not to join the military.

With a soft sigh, Jiang Kai added, "It's a non-combat profession."

"Non-combat profession…" Lu Jun repeated thoughtfully but didn't probe further. The fact that Jiang Kai had shared even this detail showed a level of trust.

"Reaching your level of strength with a non-combat profession is already impressive," Lu Jun remarked.

Jiang Kai smiled but didn't respond.

"What are your plans moving forward?" Lu Jun asked. "You know the Black Tortoise Guild has considerable influence."

Jiang Kai chuckled. "In Destiny's Calling, I don't fear them. My only worry is the Huang family retaliating against my family in reality. Once I enter Ghost Star, I can't protect them anymore."

"I'm particularly worried about Yingzi. She's in the same school as Huang Wei, and I can't keep an eye on her."

After some thought, Lu Jun suggested, "You're not part of the military, so your family can't live in the military family area. However, we have guest housing near the military district where Yingzi can stay. This would make it easier for her to visit the hospital to take care of your brother. Plus, the Huang family wouldn't dare cause trouble near the military district. I can help you find a decent house at a reasonable rent."

Jiang Kai's eyes widened. "That would be amazing."

"As for the school situation, I can assist with transferring Yingzi to a new one."

Jiang Kai looked at Lu Jun in surprise, unsure of what to say.

"Don't stare at me like that. I'm just fulfilling someone's request to look after you… No, not General Wei. Someone else," Lu Jun clarified.

"Nuannuan?"

Lu Jun glanced at Jiang Kai, chuckled, and then turned his attention back to the road. "You guessed too quickly; how boring. She specifically told me not to tell you."

"How is she now?"

"She's doing great. Nuannuan and your brother Yuan Zhu are in the same team and are currently key trainees. But she didn't rely on connections—she genuinely has immense potential."

Jiang Kai nodded, fully aware of Nuannuan's capabilities. She not only had exceptional potential but also extraordinary determination and courage.

"Oh, by the way, Lanlan—the one you bet against—is Nuannuan's sister. Her real sister. Don't hold a grudge, okay?"

"She's Nuannuan's sister?" Jiang Kai was surprised. "I thought she looked familiar. Now that I think about it, their names are similar too. I just didn't know her surname was Su. But honestly, these two sisters have completely different personalities."

"Haha, who says siblings have to be alike?"

After a brief pause, Lu Jun spoke again. "You killed Huang Da and wiped out the Falcon Squad. Now, whether it's because of your personal grudge with the Huang family or the guild's reputation, the Black Tortoise Guild won't let you go."

"If I'm not mistaken, they'll intensify their pursuit of you. You need to be extra cautious. The Black Tortoise Guild is far stronger than you think."

Jiang Kai nodded. "I understand."

Jiang Kai was well aware of his limits. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't take on an entire guild, especially one of the top guilds in China.

"My suggestion is to either find a powerful backer or avoid letting them locate you," Lu Jun advised. "Also, don't replace your wristwatch. Even though yours is outdated and many functions are lagging, this is actually a good thing."

"With advanced enough technology, external forces can crack a wristwatch's parameters and track your movements on Ghost Star. Your old model is too obsolete for that."

Jiang Kai was shocked. Wristwatches could do that? No wonder the military had so much information about his performance during the novice trial. It must've come from Nuannuan's wristwatch.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the slum area, the car could no longer proceed, so they parked at the street corner. Lu Jun got out and accompanied Jiang Kai home.

Jiang Kai informed his brother and Yingzi about the upcoming move. Given the current situation, neither had any objections.

The three of them began packing their belongings.

Seeing Yingzi reluctant to part with old clothes and other items, Jiang Kai teased, "Yingzi, how long have you been wearing these? They don't even fit anymore. As for the bedding, leave it. I'll buy you new ones when we move."

Yingzi glared at him. "Second brother, we haven't even gathered enough money for elder brother's treatment. You also need funds for Destiny's Calling, so why are you wasting money now?"

Jiang Kai was about to retort but turned to see his elder brother lugging their old dining table.

"Brother, leave the table behind," Jiang Kai said.

"What? Leave it?" Jiang Lan paused. "We've been eating at this table for over ten years. It'd be a waste to throw it away."

Jiang Kai felt a lump in his throat. Perhaps he'd been too hasty. He'd forgotten that they'd lived in this modest home for over a decade. Every piece of furniture, from chairs to bunk beds, held countless memories.

This was their home in a chaotic world.

With a soft smile, Jiang Kai said, "Alright, let's bring it. Take whatever you want. I'll hire a moving company."

Over the next few days, Jiang Kai arranged for his elder brother's hospitalization and settled Yingzi into the guest housing near the military district.

Educational resources in Jiangzhong City were extremely limited. Even wealthy families struggled to transfer schools. Without Lu Jun's help, Yingzi's transfer wouldn't have been possible.

After two weeks of effort, Lu Jun finally completed Yingzi's transfer procedures.

Before the transfer, Jiang Kai took Yingzi shopping in the commercial district, buying her new clothes, a bicycle, school supplies, and mock exam materials. He also furnished her new room with a computer and a desk.

"Brother, this is too much. I don't need such nice things. Look how much you've spent already." Yingzi protested.

Jiang Kai glanced at the expenses. Including the 800,000 yuan for his brother's initial treatment, the school transfer, rent, furniture, and shopping had cost 240,000 yuan.

"Don't worry. I'll start earning money again in Destiny's Calling tomorrow," Jiang Kai assured her. "I've also hired someone to take care of our brother at the hospital, but you should still visit whenever you can. I don't fully trust others to look after him."

"Of course, I'll visit!" Yingzi retorted, her eyes red at the thought of Jiang Kai leaving. "Elder brother still has me with him, but you'll be alone on Ghost Star. Take care of yourself and stop being so reckless. You never know when to back down."

Jiang Kai felt a warmth in his heart. He patted Yingzi's head. "Silly girl, don't let yourself suffer either."

He handed her a card. "Here's 100,000 Alliance Coins. I've also transferred 200,000 to elder brother's account. Use it as needed."

"Brother…"

"No arguments!" Jiang Kai snapped. "I've earned the money. Don't let our family live worse than others."
