Chapter 1006 - Buying A House! (1/2)

”I also think that our future commander should be ranked number one. Look at those other supernatural beings. None of them can take the head of an enemy general who's protected by a 10,000-strong army, right?” The pedestrians on the street said excitedly, ”The Zhou Consortium is also one of the three biggest consortiums in the Central Plains, but look what happened in the end? They were still easily taken down by our future commander!”

Of course, the Zhou Consortium was not going to collapse immediately because of Ren Xiaosu. Although three of their leaders had died, a successor was put in place in the aftermath. Although a series of internal power struggles had also started, the consortium did not collapse.

But that was what the Northwesterners enjoyed saying. In their opinion, it was only a matter of time before the Zhou Consortium was annexed by the Wang Consortium.

If it were any other place, Ren Xiaosu would just be seen as a normal superhuman and everyone's impression of him would be, ”Wow, he's so powerful. But is it really OK to assassinate so many big shots of a consortium?”

But it was different in the Northwest. Here, they would say, ”As expected of our future commander!”

When the Zong Consortium was still standing in the Northwest, the loyalty of the people under them had started leaning towards Fortress 178. In the early years, a lot of people even secretly fled there.

Now that Fortress 178 had taken over all of the Northwestern strongholds, everyone could see that their days were getting better. As such, they naturally felt that they were also Fortress 178's people and gradually started to get a sense of belonging.

Actually, the rankings list was still a little inaccurate. For example, Luo Lan knew that Li Shentan was unable to hypnotize Ren Xiaosu. Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue's ranking was a little too low.

That was because Zhou Yingxue was not involved in that many battles to date. When she fought on Mt. Zuoyun, the Experimentals who witnessed her power all died. When she took action in Luoyang City, the hitmen who saw her were also wiped out.

It was not Hu Shuo's fault since Zhou Yingxue had indeed been too ruthless on both those occasions.

However, the accuracy of the entire list was pretty good. Previously, when someone announced they wanted to rank all the supernatural beings, it caused a buzz among many people. And now, the publication of this magazine truly did not let anyone down.

On top of that, Hu Shuo must have also earned a lot from this publication.

That old man wanted to establish a large, covert intelligence network but funding had always been a problem. Although he still had some savings in the Southwest, it was not enough to run something like an intelligence network.

Li Shentan's power should be able to make him money very easily, but that grandson of his was not interested in making money at all and only knew how to spend.

In fact, he was really generous when it came to spending.

When he intercepted the Zong Consortium's gold, he actually gave all of it to Ren Xiaosu. This made Hu Shuo's head throb just thinking about it. He was even tempted to include additional details in Ren Xiaosu's description in the rankings!

A pedestrian in Stronghold 144 also had some doubts. ”I wonder who created this rankings list. How are they so well-informed? We Northwesterners don't even know that our future commander has done so many things. This is just like reading a novella. This is awesome!”

”Who cares who wrote it? The future commander's ranking is definitely wrong!”

When Ren Xiaosu heard the pedestrian say that, he broke into a smile. However, Yang Xiaojin rolled her eyes and pulled him along as she continued walking forward. ”What, do you plan on joining their conversation? Hurry, let's go buy the house. Otherwise, we'll have to stay at the hotel again tonight. We arranged to meet the owners at 2:30 PM, so let's not be late.”

Since the two of them did not even have a place to stay after arriving here, they would definitely have to first buy a house that was suitable for them to live in for the long term. They would definitely still have to go to Fortress 178 in the future, but since this place was also under the Northwest's rule, there was no fear that it would go to waste.

Even Wang Fugui did not know they had come to Stronghold 144 this time. All they wanted was to have some peace and quiet to live their lives for the time being.
