"Young man, not many people live here now. Are you really going to buy this little courtyard?"
I advise you to think it through carefully, lest you regret it later after buying it.
And to be honest, this place is okay to visit during the day, but it's not as safe as the city at night.
I also wanted to go to the city with my son to enjoy a better life, but this place…”
Looking at the old man beside him who was still rambling on and on, Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Sir, I've made up my mind. If you're willing to sell, I'll buy it right now."
As for safety, you don't need to worry. I know a bit of martial arts; three or five people can't get close to me.
The old man looked Xu Lu up and down, then shook his head and said:
"Young man, you've got quite the nerve. But since you've thought it through, I won't try to persuade you anymore."
Selling the courtyard will finally fulfill a wish of mine.
"And you seem like a nice guy, young man. Let's go to the village committee to complete the formalities!"
It took Xu Lu about an hour to acquire ownership of the small courtyard, including the land beneath his feet.
In fact, it would be very difficult for someone who is not a villager to obtain such ownership rights, but Mr. Xu was so generous in paying for it!
As for why he would leave his big villa untouched and instead buy a small courtyard in this village, it's actually related to the skill 'Beast Taming Mastery' that he just acquired.
That evening, Xu Lu 'modified' five aquatic creatures in his personal space, including three fish and two turtles.
The modified species looks much more ferocious than before.
Because it was no longer suitable to keep it in the portable ecological park, Xu Lu took it out and released it back into the wild. I wonder what the consequences will be.
Because the villa is located in a bustling area, it's really inconvenient to continue studying the newly acquired 'Beast Taming Mastery' skill.
So Xu Lu put on the Iron Man armor he hadn't worn in a long time and went on a patrol of the surrounding area.
Then he selected the area where the small courtyard he had just bought was located.
This place is near a large river called the 'Huilong River'.
Moreover, it's a rural area, with rolling mountains not far away.
For Xu Lu, who wanted to test his 'Beast Taming Proficiency', this was the most convenient place imaginable.
If you want to study the modification of aquatic organisms, you can do it directly in a large river.
For those who want to study terrestrial life, those mountains are a natural research institute.
Because of its rural location, it is also convenient to study aerial life.
In short, after inspecting the area, Xu Lu set his sights on this location.
Then, naturally, he got in touch with the old man who wanted to deal with the small courtyard.
As for how he knew the old man needed to deal with the yard, it's actually quite simple; he just had the AI butler 'Zhenweisi' do a calculation.
The "suan" in "Zhenweisi" is not the "suan" in fortune telling, but the "suan" in calculation.
This refers to the big data that has been widely discussed in the outside world.
After all, once humans use the internet, they leave traces, so for 'Zhenweis', there are basically no secrets left...
After seeing off the kind-hearted old man, Xu Lu returned to the courtyard.
This courtyard is actually not small; it contains several rooms, all of which are single-story houses.
There was a fruit tree in the courtyard, the species of which was unknown, and not far away was the Huilong River mentioned earlier.
You can hear the babbling of water while sitting in the courtyard.
The Huilong River is not small; it is more than ten meters wide, and the deepest part is probably more than five meters deep.
The river water was crystal clear, and you could see right to the bottom.
Xu Lu had already used his 'Beast Taming Mastery' ability when he arrived, and sensed that the river was not polluted.
There were no chemical plants or similar structures along the river, and the area was teeming with aquatic life, including fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles.
The three modified large fish and two turtles that Xu Lu had previously kept in his personal space were actually released into this Huilong River, and he could still sense their presence.
Yes, the creatures he modifies will be marked without them even realizing it.
Xu Lu could sense the location of these creatures.
He even had a premonition that once his 'Beast Taming Mastery' level was higher, he would be able to do even more.
It's not just about sensing and modifying the location of living beings.
Of course, although this place is a rural area, Xu Lu did not take the old man's earlier warning as a joke.
In fact, as soon as he appeared here, he had already sensed some unfriendly stares.
If Xu Lu were an ordinary person, he would definitely listen to the old man's advice and seriously consider changing locations.
But our CEO Xu is no pushover.
He has always simply ignored this level of malice.
Of course, if someone really comes looking for death, he certainly won't stop them.
Testing your Beast Taming skills here, and having some fun to pass the time, is a pretty good thing, isn't it?
Standing in the courtyard, Xu Lu looked around.
There weren't many miscellaneous items in the small courtyard, but there were still some things that the old man hadn't taken with him in a few rooms.
On a whim, he summoned the big, white dog and ordered it to move all the clutter out of the room.
After receiving the order, the Yellow Turban Warriors finished these arduous tasks in no time.
All the clutter was piled up in the yard, and Xu Lu used his mastery of the Lesser Five Elements magic.
A fire quickly burned all the debris to ashes, without even producing much smoke.
A gentle breeze blew, and the last bit of smoke dissipated completely.
Next.
