Chapter 1: Chapter 1 The Great Flood

"Boom!"

In the pitch-black sky, a sudden bolt of lightning streaked across.

The pale electrical light, like a sharp sword, pierced through the darkness in an instant, illuminating the entire land.

Under the brief glow, what met the eye was an endless expanse of water, with scattered houses abruptly emerging above the surface.

Like isolated islands in the water, large shadows occasionally flashed and disappeared.

After the lightning, the sky, filled with torrential rain, instantly returned to darkness.

This is Linjiang City's High-tech Zone.

The torrential downpour had been going on for six months!

The entire Linjiang City had been completely submerged.

With the rise of the sea level, Linjiang City's low-rise buildings were entirely submerged.

Buildings below ten floors were basically submerged underwater.

Only floors above ten were still desperately holding on above the water.

By the window of the top floor of building 66 in Meidu Garden, after the lightning and thunder, a figure stood there gazing out.

"Six months already."

Liang Yuan frowned, yet he was also lucky that he had bought this thirty-second floor top unit back then.

Even though when he purchased it, the top floor had lots of problems like leaks and poor insulation.

At that time, he really went everywhere to find the property management and developers to get a different house.

But no one paid him any attention.

At that time, he was truly desperate.

He had spent half his life savings on this house.

Not only that, but he also took out loans of over a million, becoming a slave to his mortgage.

He thought he could marry his girlfriend with this house.

Unexpectedly, after moving in, his girlfriend quarreled with him more than ten times in just three days.

The apparent reason was that his girlfriend was dissatisfied with the house.

But the deeper reason, of course, was that she didn't want to share the heavy mortgage burden with him.

What broke Liang Yuan completely was his girlfriend's mother asking for a dowry of three hundred thousand.

Liang Yuan was frantic. Linjiang, being a city in the south, had a dowry rate of a hundred thousand, which was already high. His girlfriend's mother demanded three hundred thousand, which made him argue fiercely with his girlfriend.

He later found out that his girlfriend had a younger brother who had just graduated and was also dating.

But his girlfriend's brother's dating partner was from Akalin Province, and everyone had heard about the dowry rates there.
