Despite his complaints, he was actually quite satisfied with this job.  

At least he didn't have to commute and could work from home.  

Moreover, the apartment he currently lived in was his own.  

Pulling out the property deed for Room 304 from the drawer, Jiang Ran hugged it and planted several enthusiastic kisses on it.  

This reflected the terrifying obsession Chinese people have with owning their own home.  

The deep-seated fixation on having a place to call one's own.  

Many viewers in the live stream room couldn't help but laugh at this display.  

After all, most of those viewers lived in luxury apartments, villas, or even mansions.  

They couldn't understand how someone could get so excited over a simple studio apartment.  

Just as Jiang Ran finished kissing the deed and set it down, he heard knocking at his door.  

He went to answer it immediately.  

Upon opening the door,  

he saw an extremely beautiful girl standing outside.  

She wore a sexy black stepmother dress,  

had short hair and delicate features,  

with a smoking hot figure  

that exuded temptation.  

Jiang Ran stared dumbfounded at the girl's face for a long time until she broke the silence herself.  

"Hello, I'm Qin Kelian, your neighbor from Room 303."  

This was none other than Qin Kelian, who had come specifically to hunt Jiang Ran.  

"303?"  

Jiang Ran suddenly remembered the beautiful woman in the blue stepmother dress he'd seen entering that apartment before.  

He asked curiously, "You live in 303? I think I saw another girl entering 303 last time - is she your friend?"  

Qin Kelian smiled sweetly. "That's my older sister! Her name is Qin Yi!"  

"Really? Your sister? Now that you mention it, you two do look somewhat alike..."  

Jiang Ran's mind began comparing the two sisters' appearances, figures, and demeanors.  

The older sister: A youthful face with a mature woman's body, creating a fascinating blend of innocence and sensuality. Extremely charming and feminine.  

The younger sister: An innocent face with a curvaceous figure, and a more lively, cute personality.  

Both sisters were absolute stunners.  

"So Miss Qin, what brings you here today?" Jiang Ran asked, refocusing on the present.  

Qin Kelian gestured with a small bronze teapot in her right hand.  

"Since you live in 304 and we're neighbors now... I'm a tea master, and I just brewed some excellent tea. I thought you might like to try it."  

"Really? I love tea!" Jiang Ran said with exaggerated enthusiasm.  

Qin Kelian seemed surprised. "Oh? What kind do you prefer?"  

Jiang Ran: "Iced black tea."  

Qin Kelian nearly choked but managed to say, "How... humorous."  

After entering 304, Jiang Ran took two disposable paper cups from a cabinet drawer and placed them on the coffee table.  

Seizing the opportunity, Qin Kelian immediately poured the golden-hued tea into both cups - the color suspiciously resembling urine.  

"This is golden tea. Have you tried it before?" she asked after sitting on the sofa and pushing one cup toward Jiang Ran.  

Jiang Ran stared at the liquid. "Nope. Never even heard of it. I only know about West Lake Longjing, Pu'er, black tea, green tea..."  

Facing tea offered by a beauty, Jiang Ran carefully lifted the cup with both hands, blew on it several times, then took a tiny sip.  

After smacking his lips, he didn't find this "golden tea" particularly remarkable.  

Just then, a notification popped up in his mind:  

[Ding! Detected host has consumed drugged tea! System has neutralized effects! Points consumed: 100!]  

Actually, the Danger Warning System had already sounded alarms when he first saw Qin Kelian:  

[Detected dangerous individual! Please distance yourself immediately! +8 points! +8 points!...]  

But Jiang Ran had long stopped paying attention to these routine warnings.  

The new alert about drugged tea was different though - the system claimed to have neutralized it at a cost of 100 points.  

So this was how points worked?  

But the real question was: Could the system be trusted?  

Was there really drugs in this tea?  

Highly skeptical, Jiang Ran took another sip - triggering the same system message.  

Okay, so he hadn't misheard.  

The system insisted the tea was drugged.  

But systems could be wrong.  

First: Why would Qin Kelian drug him?  

He'd only heard of men drugging women for... certain activities.  

Fine, maybe some aggressive women might drug men for the same purpose.  

But that made no sense here!  

He was decent-looking but no supermodel,  

while Qin Kelian was undeniably gorgeous.  

If she wanted him, she could just ask directly - he'd never refuse!  

Only an idiot would refuse.  

Plus they were neighbors in the same building - not strangers.  

Why drug him just to steal his stuff?  

Second: Where would this beautiful Qin Kelian even get drugs?  

Aren't those hard to obtain?  

Considering these points, Jiang Ran found the drugged tea theory ridiculous.  

But to test the system's reliability,  

he decided to ask Qin Kelian directly:  

"Did you put drugs in this tea?"  

Qin Kelian had been secretly pleased seeing Jiang Ran drink twice, already imagining how to process this handsome man - she and her sister made more than just human meat paste.  

But Jiang Ran's sudden question threw her completely off guard.  

What?  

How could he know?  

Wait... was that a question?  

"Drugs? What drugs? I've never even seen such things in my life," Qin Kelian lied smoothly.  

"Thought so. Just joking - I read a novel recently about a guy drugging girls to take advantage of them," Jiang Ran covered hastily.  

Qin Kelian laughed nervously. "Oh... is that so?"  

She thought it must be a coincidence - no way he actually knew.  

Then Jiang Ran did something unexpected - he pushed the second cup of tea toward her.  

"You should drink too before it gets cold."  

Though reluctant, under Jiang Ran's intense gaze, Qin Kelian took several sips before putting the cup down with feigned enjoyment.  

After watching Qin Kelian drink the tea herself and remain perfectly conscious minutes later,  

Jiang Ran concluded the system had lied again about the drugs.  

If the tea were really drugged,  

Qin Kelian wouldn't have drunk it,  

or would have passed out by now.  

Instead, she showed no ill effects whatsoever.  

"This system... I'm at a complete loss with it," Jiang Ran sighed internally.
