Lin Xiao sighed: "Although the condition has stabilized, the mental pollution has not yet decreased to a safe level, and it may not decrease at all. If there is a severe mental fluctuation, the disease may completely break down and become irreversible."

Lu Ning nodded slightly.

Qiu Yuelin suggested, "How about we find some time to visit this senior?"

Lin Xiao and Colin were taken aback and looked at Qiu Yuelin.

Qiu Yuelin asked nervously, "Wh...what's wrong? Can't we go visit them?"

Colin smiled and said, "Of course. Let's wait a little longer. Once Mu Mu's condition is more stable, we'll go see him together."

Lin Xiao nodded: "I think it's okay, but... when you go, Lu Ning, won't you make Mu Mu sick again?"

Lu Ning calmly said, "I don't know what happened last time either."

Lin Xiao and Colin exchanged a glance and did not continue the topic.

"Alright, let's go and see the room Lu Ning chose."

The group left the branch office and walked to their rented apartment.

The apartment complex is right next to the branch office; just across the street and a few steps away is the main entrance of the complex.

Lin Xiao has already called the agent.

A young male real estate agent was waiting for them at the gate.

Following the agent into the community and looking at the room, Qiu Yuelin, who had previously thought it was too expensive, couldn't find any fault with it.

All the furniture was brand new, the decor was nice, the room looked very well maintained, and the environment was indeed very pleasant.

In the end, Lu Ning chose to rent it directly, paying a one-month deposit and a one-month rent.

My salary, which I just received, is now less than five thousand yuan.

Fortunately, Lu Ning's basic salary next month is 100,000, which is enough for him in this era.

Afterwards, Lin Xiao mobilized a group of people to move Lu Ning's belongings over.

After moving his personal belongings, Lin Xiao rolled up his sleeves and helped Lu Ning clean up.

After a busy morning, it's finally over.

Looking at the room where his personal belongings were arranged, Lu Ning felt a sense of peace in his heart.

From this moment on, he truly established himself in this era.

After moving, Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Come on, there's a very famous hot pot restaurant downstairs. It's traditional Chinese food from before the Mist Era, a high-end delicacy. I'll take you to enjoy it today!"

Lu Ning looked puzzled: "...Hot pot? High-end cuisine?"

Upon hearing this, the group paused, then looked at Lu Ning.

Then, Qiu Yuelin remembered something and asked, "By the way! Didn't Brother Lu Ning say that he was a human from before the Mist Era? Have you ever eaten hot pot?"

"...I eat it about once a week."

"Hiss..." The group was utterly shocked.

Lin Xiao said enviously, "That's hot pot! You can eat it once a week?! Were you rich before?"

Lu Ning calmly said, "Hot pot is a commoner's food. In the past, almost every household in China ate it."

"Commoner's food?" Wang Qiwen asked incredulously, "Then what is high-end food?"

"I'm not rich, how would I know? But it's probably something like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, boiled cabbage in clear broth, or a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, right?" Lu Ning's gaze was distant.

Life before entering the fog feels like a thing of the past.

Lin Xiao and the others listened in a daze.

They looked at each other, and finally Wei Xuan spoke up: "...How come I've never heard of any of these things before?"

Qiu Yuelin looked at Lu Ning with admiration and said, "What I love most is eating delicious food. I specifically looked up the delicacies before the Mist Era. I've heard of the legendary Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but I've never heard of the other two. Now I believe that Brother Lu Ning is from before the Mist Era."

Lin Xiao coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed: "Then shall we go eat hot pot?"

“Go, it’s been over two thousand years since I’ve eaten.” Lu Ning’s eyes were unwavering.

Colin and the others standing nearby were startled by Lu Ning's determination.

They exchanged a glance and ultimately decided to go eat hot pot.
