After a brief silence of a few seconds, the system spoke again:
[Ding, a property matching your requirements has been found for the host.]
Soon, a 3D projection-like map unfolded in the void before Lin Jicheng—
It was a five-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) located in the heart of Beijing, covering an area of over several dozen acres. The courtyards were arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, and a sizable garden was also set up on the side, complete with flowers, trees, artificial hills and ponds. More importantly, the water source of the pond was connected to the city's running water, making the courtyard even more vibrant and harmonious with nature!
Of course, what's more important for Lin Jicheng is the complete facilities, allowing her to move in with just her bags.
The building's interior design is consistent with its architecture, embodying a classic and elegant ancient Chinese style—flying eaves and bracket sets, carved beams and painted rafters. From the intricately carved window lattices and the heavy, sturdy golden nanmu furniture to the priceless porcelain decorations, everything is exquisite and refined. Moreover, beneath this classical beauty, the courtyard incorporates the convenience and comfort of modern amenities.
The house features underfloor heating and a fresh air system covering the entire interior, along with smart home technology that controls the whole house, ensuring a comfortable living environment. The newly excavated basement, with its bright outdoor lighting, houses a wine cellar and a huge parking lot, providing convenience for every aspect of life.
The 3D projection provided by the system was exceptionally clear, allowing Lin Jicheng to zoom in and out at will to see every detail inside the house. As he watched, Lin Jicheng couldn't help but marvel—
"Really! This apartment is mine just like that?!"
Absolutely!
The system's tone revealed a hint of smugness:
The property certificate is all ready for you; you can pick it up as soon as you get off the plane! I told you long ago that our system is incredibly powerful. You know, these kinds of houses aren't just a matter of price on the market; they're practically priceless!
Of course, with my powerful system, all of this is just a minor issue! How about it, satisfied? This is the upgraded system!
Even though he had never been to Beijing, Lin Jicheng knew how rare this kind of house was. A quick online search revealed that other courtyard houses in less desirable locations and smaller in size could fetch prices of over a billion yuan. So, his own courtyard house—
Its value is immeasurable!
A sense of satisfaction welled up in Lin Jicheng's heart, making even the first-class caviar and lobster noodles in front of him taste even more delicious!
Enjoying the international cuisine continuously served by the flight attendants, admiring the exquisite real estate, and listening to the system's constant chatter, the several-hour journey passed quickly. As Lin Jicheng disembarked from the plane amidst the flight attendants' warm and friendly smiles, a spacious and comfortable minivan took her to her new home in Beijing—
Driving through the bustling city center, the car suddenly brought Lin Jicheng to a quiet alley with gray walls. Opening the heavy vermilion gate, an ancient world gradually unfolded before Lin Jicheng's eyes—
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge jade screen wall, on which dragons and phoenixes play and perch. When sunlight shines through the jade, the dragon scales move and the phoenix feathers flutter, making the whole scene lifelike, as if the real mythical beasts have descended to earth!
Lin Jicheng meandered through the hanging flower gate and entered the front courtyard. Everywhere he looked, there were beams and pillars of Phoebe zhennan wood, shimmering in the afternoon sun. The floor was paved with gold bricks specially supplied by the imperial kiln; each step produced a warm, metallic sound, causing those who entered to hold their breath. Stepping into the nine-meter-high main hall, a huge rosewood throne inlaid with mother-of-pearl sat in the center. Beside it, a Ru kiln celadon plum vase, painted decorations, and a Suzhou embroidery screen added rich color to the spacious hall, filling it with a profound atmosphere of history and culture. Descending the stairs, golden, fragrant liquids slumbered at a carefully controlled temperature on a temperature-controlled wine rack. A massive LED screen covering an entire wall, along with genuine leather sofas, formed a giant private cinema. Passing through the covered walkway, the air was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus and wisteria. Lin Jicheng stepped into the private garden and breathed in the fresh scent of grass and trees. The most eye-catching thing was the gnarled and upright Podocarpus macrophyllus in the middle, which sheltered the babbling water, craggy rocks, and fish playing among the water lilies.
The stream, like a ribbon, runs through the entire garden. Lin Jicheng walks along the stream, and as he strolls through it, a colorful picture unfolds one after another, a sight to behold. The entire garden is like a botanical garden, with countless plants such as wintersweet, magnolia, peony, blue lotus, and peach blossom. Every season brings a brand new view!
Passing through the lotus-scented pond and the flower gate hidden by weeping crabapple blossoms, Lin Jicheng entered the residential area in the backyard. She walked past the book-filled duplex study, the spacious and comfortable walk-in closet, and the second bedroom, which had a different style but was harmoniously unified. When she threw herself hard onto the soft bed in the master bedroom, the light and silky silk bedding was like a gentle sea, almost drowning her, making her not want to leave!
"This is so awesome!!"
Lin Jicheng couldn't help but cheer!
It's so good to be rich!
The happiness of the rich is unimaginable!!
[So, host? Are you satisfied?]
The system interjected at the opportune moment:
[This building does exist in real life, but properly handling the property rights issues, carrying out large-scale repairs and renovations on the old and dilapidated building, and filling it with the best furniture collected from various places also took a lot of effort from me...]
"I understand! I understand!"
Lin Jicheng was completely immersed in happiness:
"If you were my employee, I'd give you a raise first! After all, very few employees are as good at understanding their boss's thoughts as you are!"
[Hehe, host, I don't need you to give me a raise, I just need you to keep spending money!]
There was even a hint of urgency in the system's tone:
[Right now, all our airfare and services combined have only amounted to a little over ten thousand, far from our initial goal of one billion! Half a day has passed, host, what are your thoughts?]
"Of course, don't worry!"
Lin Jicheng lazily sat up in bed:
"Find the location of the nearest large shopping mall, and remember, it has to be the most luxurious one...!"
[I understand! Host, are we finally going to start spending money? I'm so excited!]
Amidst the system's excited announcement, the luxury van quickly transported Lin Jicheng to SXP, the capital's largest and most extravagant shopping mall.
As soon as Lin Jicheng stepped inside, the melodious music and delicate fragrance immediately relaxed her. Looking up, she immediately knew her first destination—
Chanel!
Upon entering, Lin Jicheng nodded in satisfaction:
As expected of the capital city, the Chanel stock here is visibly abundant!
As Lin Jicheng examined the merchandise, the store manager was also observing her discreetly.
