Chapter 144 Moving to a New Home
Having successfully secured funding from the professor, Wei Xin led the children away from the research center in high spirits.
Lillie, carrying the helmet she had specially bought, followed beside Wei Xin. They were going to deal with the villa matter next.
Lillie moved closer to Wei Xin and placed her phone in front of him; the phone showed the location of the villa.
Wei Xin was slightly taken aback. The house was located very close to Xilona's villa, and with the garden, it was over a thousand square meters. He was worried about whether he could afford the price, and then he saw the price.
"Isn't this price a bit too cheap?" Wei Xin said. A three-story villa of more than 1,000 square meters for more than 10 million yuan might be just right in other cities, but this is Shanghai. The decimal point should be moved one place to be normal.
Could it be haunted, with people having died inside, or perhaps even ghost-type Pokémon?
"The owner of this house needs a large sum of money temporarily for some reason, so he has to sell the house at a low price." Lillie wasn't lying; she did indeed need a large sum of money to open the Energy Cube Workshop.
Although compared to her allowance, Wei Xin's ten million is at most a brick in the pyramid.
"I see." Wei Xin said with some regret. He had originally planned to catch a Ghost-type partner for Mimikyu.
Walking onto the street, Lillie couldn't wait to put on her helmet: "Hurry up, Wei Xin, you said you'd take me for a ride on a Milton!" The midday sun shone into the 600-square-meter garden, which was so clean it looked like it had just been tended, with no weeds. Milton and Eevee lay on the lawn, their bellies exposed without any defenses. Layers of shade from the trees swayed slightly on their faces as the wind from the city blew from afar.
Charcoal Boy pushed the wooden swing at the edge of the garden, making a creaking sound. The Tibirium on top gripped the swing's chain and laughed like silver bells. In the very center of the courtyard, clear spring water gushed from a marble sea lion statue, and Ball Ball the sea lion swam around and around in the large fountain, having a great time.
It's not far from the school; you can get there in as little as 15 minutes by Milerton bike, and there are supermarkets nearby.
Holding Ralts and with Mimikyu perched on his shoulder, Wei Xin toured the entire three-story American-style building. He walked back to the living room with a look of astonishment on his face. Once upon a time, he had also dreamed of owning his own villa, and he never thought that one day his wish would actually come true.
"Ralts, what do you think of this villa?"
"Ralts!" Ralts nodded. She felt that the trainer must really like the house, so what was there to hesitate about? She would unconditionally support all of the trainer's decisions.
"Are you satisfied, Wei Xin?" Lillie asked from the living room.
"I'm very satisfied. Are you sure you want to sell this villa to me?" Wei Xin asked.
"It's just a—" Lillie started to answer, then realized something was wrong. She had never said the villa was hers. "You know?"
"Of course," Wei Xin shrugged. He wasn't stupid; how could he believe that someone would suddenly rush to buy a house when he wanted to?
Sell a meticulously maintained villa at a low price.
It was clearly Lillie who stretched her foot out in front of him and asked him if he wanted to touch it.
"Do you still want it?" Lillie asked.
"Of course," Wei Xin said. "The kids really like this villa, so I owe you one. Just tell me what procedures are needed."
After another half hour or so, with the assistance of professionals, Wei Xin quickly completed the handover of the house, and the two contracts were handed over to Wei Xin and Lili respectively.
Not only did Wei Xin own the villa, but Lillie also regularly arranged for a butler and waiters to help manage the garden and carry out maintenance, providing top-notch service.
"You sold the house at a low price, so why do I feel like you're happier than I am?" Wei Xin looked at the contract in Lillie's hand, his lips involuntarily curving upwards, his face blank.
Is it really something to be happy about incurring someone's favor?
Could it be that she intends to use this favor to get me, or even to do something against social morality?
Forget it, since everyone's happy, why worry so much? What bad intentions could Lillie possibly have?
Lillie has a lot of bad intentions.
No sooner had Lillie left the villa than she sat down in the villa next to Wei Xin's, holding her phone and turning on her computer. Ignoring the wary gaze of the scoundrel, she watched through the monitor as Mary intently selected cheerleading outfits for Wei Xin's final match in a clothing store. She then gave the order: "Operation begins."
"I'll take this one." Mary finally chose a black cheerleading outfit with a short-sleeved top, a short skirt, and safety shorts. She was thinking about whether to wear white stockings, but she had heard that boys preferred black stockings, and she didn't know what Wei Xin liked. Maybe she should just buy them all? She walked to the door to pay.
Just as the payment was completed, more than a dozen people emerged from under the cashier, outside the door, and inside the clothing store, surrounding Mary and spinning their confetti cannons. With a loud bang, countless ribbons fell onto Mary's hair.
Sensing no malice from the other party, the unruly frog silently lowered its raised right hand.
The shop assistant took out a raffle box and held it out to Mary.
"Congratulations, Ms. Mary, you are our ten millionth customer. We are pleased to offer you one chance to win a prize."
"A lottery?" Mary looked bewildered.
"Yes, the grand prize is a small villa in the suburbs."
"A suburban villa?" Mary was skeptical, but reached into the raffle box, thinking it must be a scam. The store itself couldn't afford a villa, so it must just be a regular promotional tactic. It was probably full of cash receipts, lollipops, and the like.
If she could spare the villa, she would give the clothes she just bought to Morubek to eat.
Then Mary herself drew a gold card from the lottery box.
Another round of cannon salutes rang out.
"Congratulations, Miss Mary, on winning the grand prize."
"what?"
Afterwards, Wei Xin spent an afternoon moving his personal belongings to the new villa.
That being said, Wei Xin had only lived in that small dormitory for about half a month. Apart from his memories of when he first came to this world, which were all stored in Wei Xin's mind, there was almost nothing of importance in them.
Wei Xin tried to bring Eevee's cat bed along, but Eevee refused unless the trainer abandoned Ralts and slept in the cat bed with her, but Ralts refused this request.
As the first Pokémon in the household, she enjoys the permanent right to sleep with her trainer.
Although there is a river outside the villa, the Qiuqiu sea lion is still too small and might drift away along the river. Weixin ordered a super large ecological fish tank online and plans to put it in the living room.
There are many rooms in the house. Besides the one for himself and Mary, Wei Xin asked the other little ones if they needed a room. Tan Xiaoshi and Mimi said they didn't need one and they could sleep in the living room. Tibrim asked for a single bedroom. Although she was mentally a little delinquent, she still needed some peace and quiet.
In just half a month, Wei Xin was somewhat surprised by the speed at which his quality of life improved, moving from a four-person dormitory to a high-end villa dormitory, and then to a private villa.
At this rate, he might own an office building within a year, and he might even be able to take on the position of head of the Eastern Empire Alliance.
On the way, Wei Xin told Mary about the move. Mary seemed a little surprised and said that she had something important to tell him, but because she had to catch up on her studies, she would have to wait until she got home that evening.
Afterwards, Wei Xin led the children to clean the house, and after a thorough inspection, they found that the house was almost spotless.
Lillie's dedication made Wei Xin even suspect that she might have ulterior motives.
Finally, the only thing in the trash can was the fur that Eevee had shed.
The little guy's body is quietly changing after consuming the special energy cubes; his old fur is gradually being replaced by new fur.
Wei Xin examined Ibu's fur and found it to be softer and shinier than before, but unfortunately, the fur was still brown and cream-colored.
Obviously, while the Energy Cube can improve and repair Eevee's body, it won't turn Eevee into a different color. Wei Xin actually quite likes the cute blue one.
But Wei Xin didn't care. Pink ones are cute, blue ones are cute, and the ones that are his own pets, that he can pet, hug, and kiss, are the cutest.
Wei Xin recorded the changes in Ibrahimovic as one of the materials for his thesis.
The setting sun cast its golden rays, carrying a hint of fire, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa's study.
On the small sofa next to him, Ralts was sleeping peacefully on Eevee's back. Wei Xin saved the recorded information again and again, closed the notebook, and stretched.
"Time to prepare dinner and wait for Mary to come home."
