Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas
Chapter 110: Viewing the New House
CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: VIEWING THE NEW HOUSE
After Chu Chen returned home, he greeted his parents and went back to his bedroom.
He summoned his two beasts and let them cultivate on their own.
The two beasts cultivated diligently; Lei Yao immediately began practicing the Ape Skill Fist, while Nirvana practiced its skills.
Satisfied, Chu Chen nodded and sat cross-legged on the bed, clicked on the Communication Bracelet, and checked the recently exchanged "Lightning Meditation Technique."
After spending an hour memorizing the "Lightning Meditation Technique," he attempted to cultivate.
Using the Seven-Branch Meditation Technique, he quickly entered a meditative state and began cultivating according to the method recorded in the "Lightning Meditation Technique."
However, he quickly exited the meditative state; cultivating the "Lightning Meditation Technique" caused waves of intense pain in the soul, making it difficult to maintain the meditation.
This issue isn’t too hard to resolve; it requires repeated attempts to let the soul adapt to this pain.
Chu Chen took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and re-entered the meditative state.
The soul’s intense pain forced him out of the meditation state repeatedly, but he didn’t give up and continued to persist in cultivation.
The results were gratifying; with his constant persistence, the duration of meditation grew longer and longer.
It wasn’t until late at night that Chu Chen stopped cultivating.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the two exhausted Guardian Beasts, and a thought suddenly crossed his mind; with millions in his hands, it was time to move.
His current place was located in the suburbs, very close to the city wall, and every time a Beast Tide attacked, he would be anxious, wasting a lot of time on the road daily.
As the size of the two beasts grew, cultivating in the bedroom became impossible, seriously affecting his life and cultivation.
However, he couldn’t make a decision yet; he needed to consult with his parents.
The next morning.
Chu Chen got up early, washed up, and during breakfast, he revealed his idea.
Father Chu and Mrs. Chu exchanged glances upon hearing about the move, and surprise was evident in each other’s eyes.
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Chu expressed her opinion: "Moving is a big deal, let your dad make the decision."
Chu Chen was surprised by this, clearly not expecting Father Chu to have such a high standing in the family.
Father Chu noticed the change in his son’s expression and said displeased: "What kind of expression is that?"
Chu Chen hurriedly laughed along: "It’s nothing, I’m just a bit surprised."
Father Chu glared at his son irritably, then said solemnly: "We’ve lived in this house for over twenty years, with the family growing, it’s time to move to a bigger house."
Chu Chen showed joy upon hearing this, not expecting the moving issue to proceed so smoothly.
But he saw reluctance in his parents’ eyes.
Actually, Chu Chen was also reluctant; he had lived here ever since he was born and felt as attached to the house as his parents.
"Mom and Dad, let’s keep this house. If we want to come back, we can do so anytime." Chu Chen said with a smile.
Father Chu and Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded, reducing the reluctance in their eyes.
The old house isn’t worth much anyway; with Chu Chen’s current wealth, losing tens of thousands doesn’t matter, keeping it as a memory is good.
"You go to school first; your mom and I will look at houses during the break." Father Chu said with a smile.
Chu Chen quickly waved his hand: "You don’t need to worry about this, I’ve already asked for leave from school, just wait for the new house to move in."
Father Chu and Mrs. Chu weren’t upset upon hearing this; Chu Chen’s academic performance was such that even if he took exams immediately, he could get into a good university.
Father Chu nodded helplessly, feeling uneasy about losing his status in the family.
But Father Chu always recognized Chu Chen’s capabilities; after all, he’d been adept at handling things since childhood, and buying a house was something he could manage.
After breakfast, the three went about their own tasks.
Father Chu went to work at the City Defense Army.
Mrs. Chu had resigned from her job and was currently looking for a botanical garden site with her former colleagues, reportedly having targeted a location, going to negotiate the price today; if all goes well, preparations could start tomorrow, but it would take several months to make a profit.
Chu Chen gave Mrs. Chu another two million this morning, urging her to go ahead since numerous expenses arise in the early stages.
He still had about ten million left and barely had any expenses.
The elixirs and food for his, and his Guardian Beasts’ cultivation, were all provided by the school, along with monthly cultivation allowances.
Director Lu covered expenses for cultivating at the Daoist School, meaning he didn’t need to spend anything there.
Chu Chen should solely focus on improving his strength.
However, Chu Chen planned to reserve several millions for enhancing the quality of his two Guardian Beasts.
His soul currently withstands up to Commander Level.
After elevating both Guardian Beasts’ quality to Commander Level, their cultivation speed could increase by at least thirty percent, with the growth speed of power exceeding fifty percent.
After acquiring a new house, Chu Chen planned to address this matter.
Upon leaving, Chu Chen immediately headed to Happiness District, a newly developed real estate this year, located midway between First High School and Cyan Dragon Daoist School, taking only five minutes via Swift Eagle, significantly reducing his travel time.
This district was also close to Father Chu and Mrs. Chu’s workplaces, needing only ten minutes to travel.
Chu Chen quickly arrived at Happiness District, entered the sales center, finding quite a few people there to buy houses.
Most sales personnel were busy; the idle ones upon seeing Chu Chen didn’t approach to assist him.
Given Chu Chen’s age and attire, he didn’t seem like a prospective buyer.
At this moment, an old employee nudged the new female sales assistant beside them: "Go greet that new customer."
"Ah, okay, Sister Li."
"Hello, I’m Lin Yu, a sales representative at Happiness District. Is there anything I can assist you with?"
Hearing this, Chu Chen looked over, realizing the speaker was a girl roughly the same age as him.
"I want to buy a house, what’s the price?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.
Lin Yu was visibly delighted by this unexpected query; she wasn’t foolish, discerning the likelihood of wasted effort after a veteran instructed her to interact with Chu Chen, but as a newcomer, she couldn’t refuse and considered it work experience.
Unexpectedly, it brought a pleasant surprise.
"Here we have two zones: a regular residential area at eight thousand Alliance Coins per square meter and a villa zone at twenty thousand Alliance Coins per square meter. However, with a lump sum payment, there’s a ten percent discount." Lin Yu replied with a smile.
The price seemed reasonable, as Happiness District wasn’t situated in a prime area, and Celestial Star City was a small city.
Chu Chen nodded and asked, "How large is a villa?"
Lin Yu was even more startled and responded hesitantly: "Are you sure about the villa zone?"
Lin Yu’s voice was audible, silencing the sales center momentarily, then everyone’s gaze turned towards Chu Chen.
