At this moment, because there were too many people lining up to buy pancakes ahead, Jiang Ran took out his phone to kill time while waiting.  

He played a bit of a match-three game, then looked up and saw the festive advertisement poster in front of him displaying the grand prize: a set of apartments in Alice Apartment.  

Jiang Ran had only been transported here for a few days, so he wasn’t very familiar with his current situation, just had a rough understanding.  

For example, this new identity—Jiang Ran—was, just like his previous life, an orphan.  

After graduating from university, they both had similar fates, becoming laborers.  

The only difference was the place where they labored.  

In his past life, he worked on a factory assembly line.  

This version of him worked at home on the computer as a customer service representative for an online store.  

Because he wanted to earn more money, to get higher wages, and to slap back at the ex-girlfriend who dumped him,  

he ended up doing several jobs at once, which eventually caused him to die suddenly at home.  

Sigh, no matter what, health is the foundation of revolution. If your health fails, everything else is just empty talk.  

“Found it, Alice Apartment.”  

At this moment, Jiang Ran found Alice Apartment in Nancheng City online.  

Unlike other customers, he was simply hungry and bought a pancake without expecting to win anything.  

Because in his mind, the grand prize was definitely a gimmick, reserved for insiders. Ordinary customers shouldn’t even think about winning; they were all just destined for consolation prizes.  

Besides, he thought that this so-called apartment was probably a cheap apartment in a mediocre location.  

But what he never expected was...  

The exact opposite of what he thought!  

Alice Apartment was not some cheap place at all.  

On the contrary, it was a high-end apartment complex.  

Although its location was not the very best in the city center, the position was still quite good.  

Looking further at the most important indicator for measuring a house: the price.  

The price of apartments in Alice Apartment was shockingly high—50,000 yuan per square meter!!!!  

“Damn!”  

Jiang Ran couldn’t help but curse silently in his heart.  

He knew that the place he was currently renting cost only a little over 2,000 yuan per square meter, yet this was 50,000?!  

Whoever owned a place here could say they saved themselves years of detours in life!  

And that wasn’t all; next, Jiang Ran saw something even more jaw-dropping about Alice Apartment.  

Alice Apartment was a standalone building.  

What did that mean?  

A residential complex usually had more than ten buildings, sometimes even dozens.  

But Alice Apartment was a single building all by itself, and it wasn’t a huge apartment tower with many floors and vast grounds.  

It was a small apartment building with relatively few residents inside, meaning it wouldn’t be noisy or chaotic, nor crowded with random people. It catered to elite professionals, following a high-end route.  

Overall, it was very suitable for living.  

Seeing the detailed information about Alice Apartment, Jiang Ran became even more certain that this was a gimmick—the grand prize was definitely reserved for insiders!  

Sure enough, he kept an eye on those in front who bought pancakes to enter the lottery.  

Not to mention the grand prize, even the second and third prizes were nowhere to be found.  

Still, many people bought five or six multigrain pancakes at once, some even seven or eight, and one person shockingly bought over a dozen.  

Faced with human greed, Jiang Ran could only shake his head.  

Meanwhile, his thoughts returned to the medicine he had been taking.  

“My current appearance is way more handsome than in my past life. Should I become a gigolo? It’s tough, but the money is good, and I could buy better medicine to control my condition.”  

That’s what Jiang Ran thought, but ten minutes later, he never expected that his circumstances would undergo earth-shattering changes.  

“Holy crap, I won? The grand prize?”  

At this very moment, staring at the three big characters in the scratch-off area of the lottery ticket in his left hand—“Grand Prize.”  

Jiang Ran was utterly incredulous, at one point thinking he was seeing things.  

Until the young and beautiful female employee of the pancake shop congratulated him:  

“Congratulations, sir! You won! It’s the grand prize!!! A set of apartments in Alice Apartment!!!!!!”  

Snap!  

The multigrain pancake in Jiang Ran’s right hand fell straight to the ground.  

Only then did he truly believe he had won.  

After the shock came joy, ecstatic beyond words.  

Great! He was going to have a house!  

He had no house in his past life, no house in this life, and now he won a set of apartments?  

If he had a house, he wouldn’t have to rent anymore!  

He could save a thousand yuan a month in rent!  

A thousand yuan—one more step closer to buying effective psychiatric medicine!!!  

Amidst the joy, the Danger Warning System in Jiang Ran’s mind kept alerting:
