Chapter 56 Buying a House and Adding Points
The next morning, Beijing International Airport.
"Dad~Mom~, this way!"
Today, Gu Wei's parents arrived in Beijing on an early morning flight. They didn't have much luggage, so Gu Wei picked them up at the airport and drove to the hotel where Gu Wei usually stayed.
"Mom, I've already arranged a place to stay. If you and my dad don't have anything else to do, just stay in Beijing for a few more days."
"I'm fine, but it's mainly your dad. He can't be away from the factory for a long time." said Gu Wei's mother.
"This time I came mainly to help you choose a house. I have to go back after I'm done. Let your mother play here for a while." Dad said from the side.
The car quickly arrived at the hotel. Gu Wei booked a room for his parents next to his own room and put down their luggage.
"Mom and Dad, you two must be tired after sitting on the plane all morning. You should rest for a while. I will take you two to have a big meal at noon."
At noon, Gu Wei accompanied his parents out to eat the famous Beijing roast duck.
"Mom, please take a look with my dad. These are the more famous real estate projects in Beijing that I asked my agent to collect.
We have both flats and villas. You can check out what you like by clicking on the above pictures.
Gu Wei ate duck and handed his mother two pieces of paper.
The information on the paper is quite comprehensive, including where the house is located, which developer developed it, the average price, and what apartment types are available.
"I'll have Master Zhang from the company follow you two for the next two days. Whichever house you want to see, just have Master Zhang take you there."
"Okay then." Gu Wei's parents were studying the paper and agreed without even looking up.
During the few days since returning to Beijing, Gu Wei took the time to visit several teachers at the school, including Teacher Xu from the Directing Department.
I went to China Film Group to visit Director Han and Chairman Han Sanping. The film we are collaborating on is about to start shooting, and there will be many areas where we can help. It’s always nice to have more gifts.
"Son, are you busy today?" asked Mrs. Gu while having breakfast at the hotel one morning.
"Well, not busy, nothing too important."
"Your dad and I have been looking at a lot of properties these past two days and have found two we like. Shall I take you to see them today?"
"Okay, Mom, we'll be leaving soon."
Gu Wei also wanted to book a house as soon as possible. The most important thing was that buying a house would cost experience, so he couldn't wait to add some money.
If I hadn't agreed with my parents before the New Year to discuss it with them before buying it, I would have bought it as soon as the payment for [Embroidered Spring Blade] arrived in my account.
Following the instructions of their parents, the driver took them to a villa area on the North Fifth Ring Road. The exterior of the reception center was luxuriously decorated.
The gate of the community is spacious and grand, with four big characters "Runze Manor" on the sign.
As soon as we got off the car and entered the sales office, a salesperson came up to greet us enthusiastically.
"Brother, sister, you are here again today~" A male salesperson who was about 30 years old came up to greet us. He was wearing a neat professional suit and walked up with a smile on his face.
"Who is this?"
Gu Wei was wearing a mask and following behind his parents.
"This is my son." said Mrs. Gu.
"Oh, it turns out to be the young master. What a handsome man. Are you still here to see the same room type as last time?" the salesperson asked Mrs. Gu.
"Yes, I like that house very much. I brought my son to see it today."
Gu Ma returned.
The salesperson enthusiastically took Gu Wei and the other two into the villa area.
The three of them took a house-viewing car to a villa.
This is a single-family villa with a European style exterior. Outside the villa is a small garden with lawns, some flowers planted, and a circle of low shrubs planted around it.
The three of them walked into the villa under the guidance of the salesperson. The salesperson introduced the house as they walked, "This house has a total area of 480 square meters, 4 bedrooms, 6 living rooms, 8 bathrooms, 3 floors upstairs and 2 floors underground.
The first floor houses the living room, dining room, and two kitchens, one Chinese and one Western. The second floor has two south-facing bedrooms and two north-facing secondary bedrooms. The third floor houses a large bedroom with a south-facing balcony. The basement level houses a game room and gym, and the second basement level is a library and garage.
After introducing the house, he continued.
"There are only 28 villas like this in our community. They have good privacy, a large area, and a greening rate of 75%. The community property management is online 24 hours a day and is ready to serve the owners at any time."
"Son, what do you think?"
Gu Wei's mother asked him.
"I think it's great. The house is fully furnished, so you can just make some simple changes and move in. It's quick and easy."
Gu Wei really likes this house.
"Another thing, aren't you an actor now? Your father and I have also considered that you will be less disturbed if you live in a community with good privacy in the future." Mother Gu whispered to him.
"How much is this house?" Gu Wei asked the salesperson.
"Sir, our current price for this villa you are looking at is 22 million," the salesperson said with a smile.
"Can it be cheaper? If we can book it today, please give us a discount," said Mrs. Gu.
The salesperson hesitated for a moment. "Please wait a moment, everyone. I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll ask the manager to apply for you."
After saying that, the salesperson went out to make a phone call.
Not long after, he came back and said to Gu Wei and the others, "Brother and sister, as long as you can make a decision today, our manager agrees to give you a 5% discount. This is already a considerable discount."
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I really like this house. Why don't we book it here?"
Seeing that Gu Wei had made up his mind, there was no reason for his parents to object.
With the assistance of the salesperson, the three of them began to go through the procedures for buying a house. Due to policy reasons, the house was finally under the name of Gu Wei Studio.
Gu Wei paid the total house price of 20.9 million yuan through his studio.
After signing the contract, the salesperson said to Gu Wei enthusiastically
"Congratulations, Mr. Gu, on becoming a distinguished resident of our Runze Manor. We will serve you wholeheartedly in the future.
My last name is Wang, you can just call me Xiao Wang. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions in the future."
After buying the house, Gu Wei's parents did not sit idle. Although it was fully decorated, they still had to buy some appliances, furniture and personal belongings.
In the evening, I returned to the hotel after running around with my parents for a day.
Gu Wei finally had some time to himself.
He concentrated on opening his panel.
Constitution: 79
Appearance: 86
Skills: Acting [Proficient] English [Proficient] Music [Proficient]
Experience Points: 21,564,589
Sure enough, the experience in buying a house has been added, and now the experience has exceeded 20 million.
Gu Wei suppressed his inner ecstasy and began to plan how to add some.
All three skills are now [Proficient]. It only costs 3 million to upgrade them all to [Mastery]. This is the most cost-effective and should definitely be added first.
It costs 100 million to advance from [Proficiency] to [Master]. I can't afford it, so I'll just ignore it for now.
[Physique] and [Appearance] are both in the range of 80 to 89. Each increase of 1 point requires 1 million. Increasing both items to 89 will cost a total of 13 million.
After making a plan, I started adding points, starting with skill upgrades, and upgrading all three skills to [Mastery].
Gu Wei, who was experienced, was lying on the bed at this moment, closing his eyes, feeling all kinds of information constantly emerging from the depths of his mind.
There are acting techniques, method acting, immersive acting, as well as some performance clips. The experience of playing various roles has all been integrated into his acting knowledge system. Gu Wei feels that his current level is capable of winning the Best Actor award.
English requires more vocabulary and grammar knowledge, including some niche or specialized words. There's also knowledge and experience in spoken pronunciation. If Gu Wei were to go to America now, the locals would undoubtedly mistake him for someone who grew up there. And with his current vocabulary, reading English scientific journals would be no problem for him.
In terms of music, he was infused with singing techniques and a wealth of music theory knowledge, allowing Gu Wei to feel that he could now simply compose a song. At the same time, a surge of warmth gently caressed his throat, expanding his vocal range. Gu Wei felt that he was unrivaled as a popular singer.
Because he had absorbed a lot of knowledge, it was already midnight when Gu Wei woke up from bed.
However, he wasn't sleepy at all, as he was incredibly excited. After upgrading his skills, it was time to upgrade his [Physique] and [Appearance]. This was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.
He had improved his physique several times, but this was the first time his appearance had improved.
To be on the safe side, Gu Wei lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and used the control panel to increase both [Constitution] and [Appearance] to [89].
[Appearance] increased from [86] to [89], an increase of 3 points. He only felt a breeze blowing on his face, which was a little itchy, but also very comfortable.
[Constitution] increased from [79] to [89], a full 10 points, and the reaction was intense. Gu Wei felt a huge current of heat surging from every corner of his body, getting hotter and hotter, like soaking in a hot spring, or steaming in a high-temperature sauna, a feeling of pain and pleasure.
After a full half hour, the heat finally subsided.
Gu Wei was soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
He quickly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he got out of bed, he felt that his body seemed to have become much lighter. His feet felt so light on the ground that he seemed to be able to fly with a single jump.
It turned out to be an illusion. It was an illusion that he could do anything because his body had changed so much.
Because he just jumped in the room, although it was much higher than before, it was still within the normal range, and his head did not hit a hole in the ceiling.
In the bathroom, Gu Wei simply washed himself and looked at his naked self in the mirror.
There is no big change in the facial features, except that the eyes have become deeper. The minor blemishes on the face are gone, such as dark circles, eye bags, fine crow's feet, and subtle nasolabial folds. The skin has become smooth and delicate, with no visible pores and no wrinkles.
It feels like it was originally high-definition 480p, but now it has become Blu-ray 1080p.
The change in his body shape was huge. The original Gu Wei could only be described as an ordinary young man with some muscle outlines, but now he has smooth lines and sharp muscles. Looking at his naked upper body in the mirror, his hormones seemed to be overflowing.
After doing some bodybuilding exercises in front of the mirror, Gu Wei was very satisfied with his current figure.
