Chapter 23: Si Kai

That is why it was rare for anyone to rent a house, making it easier for Gu Jin to rent one.

Reaching the 4th destination, Gu Jin had mixed feelings. Till now, the broker had shown her 3 houses. All of them were top-notch but the problem was...

Money!

The first house rent was 50,000 yuan per month, with a 1 million deposit. The second house was cheaper but the surrounding area gave Gu Jin weird vibes, so she rejected it.

The third house was filled with luxurious items like Cluster Incremental Bed, a separate cultivation ground, so the price was around 100,000 yuan per month.

Now even the broker was somewhat irritated but she held it in. The broker was a young woman with no Magic talent, so all she could was serve the Mage.

Gu Jin surveyed her surroundings, and to her surprise, the building was secluded.

The tower was 20 floors building and the atmosphere around the tower was somewhat chilly. It takes around 5 minutes from the tower to reach Magic School Academy.

Entering the flat, Gu Jin saw that the flat was simple yet all the necessary items were present. Since it was on the 15th floor, the view from the balcony was mesmerizing.

There were 2 rooms with a bathroom, one kitchen, one living room, and a balcony in every room. Even though the room was simple, the balcony was decorated thoughtfully.

"The monthly rent is 30,000 yuan with a 1 million deposit."

Hearing this stars appeared in Gu Jin's eyes, she remained expressionless and nodded.

The broker broke out in a grin and agreed.

Coming out of the rental apartment company, Gu Jin heaved a sigh of relief looking at the contract paper.

At that same time, her depth of poverty was hitting her. After buying clothes, paying the deposit, and 1 year of rent of the flat, her bank balance dropped to 3.6 million.

It may sound like a lot, however, in the world of Magic, where even the basic Mystic Seed costs around 10 million, 3.6 million was just a monthly expense for a Mage.

"Hey stop that kid! That kid is a thief."

Crash.

As Gu Jin was in a self-enlightenment zone, she was stunned by the sudden arrival of the black shadow that landed in front of her.

Seeing a 5 -year-old boy in front of her, Gu Jin sighed and decided to mind her own business when...when the boy lifted her head and looked straight into her eyes.

A pair of black eyes met a pair of red eyes, and Gu Jin was somewhat stunned by the stubbornness in them.

His big doe eyes, exquisite features, fair skin, and kingly aura made Gu Jin admire him a little.

Unfortunately, Gu Jin couldn't admire it for long before the boy was lifted by a hand.

Gu Jin stared at the newcomer in displeasure.

"Say kid, how dare you steal my dumplings?"

The boy remained silent. Seeing this the middle-aged man who was holding him, shook the boy violently and asked,

"Looks like I have to teach a lesson to you today."

A menacing smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Gu Jin ignored the duo and walked forward when she heard a 'bang'

Curiosity overtook her and she turned around.

'Bang'

Red fingerprints were visible on the boy's either side of the face. The boy held back his tears and remained silent.

"Haha look at his pitiful face."

"What with this pitiful face? First, he stole and now he is crying after getting a lesson. Anyways, does anyone know him? Where are his parents?"

"Don't you know? He is Si Kai. He was an heir of the Si Clan, however, when he took Mana test the previous year, his body was announced as an 'Inordinate Cultivation Body'. So his clan abandoned him."

"Huh? Really? What a pity!"

Hearing their words Gu Jin understood the whole situation.

Inordinate Cultivation Body type was a special feature body, where the resources required for the cultivation were thrice the amount required for a normal Mage's cultivation.

According to the books, this type of body type is rare, and the person with this body type usually has no benefits.

In simpler words, their power will remain the same as the power of their peers, even after using an exorbitant amount of cultivation resources.
