Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

The Hezheng Hall, as expected of a place for celestial beings to conduct transactions, was decorated in a magnificent and opulent manner.

In the spacious hall, there was a large mahogany sofa, and fresh Earl Grey tea was brewing on the coffee table.

at this time.

Several documents were placed in front of Chen Ye; they were all land deeds for transfer.

After all, this luxury apartment still has many unoccupied but well-decorated rooms.

These are properties that were acquired by the property owner, who developed and renovated them, intending to transfer or rent them out; they are currently vacant.

There are actually quite a few houses like these in the hands of the developers who own the land.

among them.

A transfer agreement was signed and handed to Chen Ye.

"Your playing was absolutely beautiful! It would be wonderful to hear it more often!"

"Besides, Fangzi and the others all live nearby, so you young people have someone to play with when you're into trendy things like music."

"If you have any complaints about your accommodation, please feel free to tell us."

The agreement was signed smoothly.

after all.

In the eyes of the celestial beings, Chen Ye was actually a kind of immortal.

It's almost on the same level as those in Taoist temples... or even higher...

In fact, Taoist temples have always had many connections with the celestial beings.

They mostly deal with these extraordinary people in a friendly manner, without being too controlling, but generally try to keep them within their jurisdiction.

Firstly, these extraordinary individuals can harness the power of heaven and earth, helping the celestial beings maintain order in their surroundings. At least if they live nearby, they can take care of these celestial beings in case of emergencies.
Secondly, these extraordinary people often possess deeper secrets of the world, and getting along with them is a rare opportunity. Such a good thing is hard to find anywhere else. If there is such an extraordinary person in front of you, then of course you should try your best to build a good relationship with everyone.

For the celestial beings, giving away a mere house is a trivial matter.

After all, the truly valuable resource nowadays is not housing.

It's food.

As long as the Celestials control a large food source and the food production channels, they will never lack resources, and they will never lack any kind of resources.

A similar luxury apartment, if converted into food, would probably only provide one or two months' worth of high-quality rations!

As for those who truly eat very meagerly, they can indeed eat like that for a year... but this is mostly the choice of the lower class, or rather, the very few who are left behind.

After all, those who are still alive and human can live a good life.

This way.

So that it won't end up as a human head balloon.

After signing the land deed, Chen Ye, led by Jeremy Lin, arrived at the apartment at the corner.

There are three rooms in total, decorated in a grand style, and the doors are already decorated with blessed couplets.

It's obvious at a glance...

This apartment belongs to the managers of the Celestial Beings, so they must have some connection with the Taoist temple, which is why they were able to obtain this consecrated couplet.

Once inside, the arrangement of the flowers and plants in the house was very particular. The floral screens were elegant and high-end. The rooms were already covered with soft, high-quality sheets and bedspreads, and the comforters were all made of high-grade silk, which felt smooth, light, soft and thin to the touch.

Both the style and the quality are absolutely flawless!

"good."

Chen Ye casually placed the peach wood sword at the doorway, a smile on his face.

Such a small detail as a gesture already shows that the person has accepted the mansion!

When the peach wood sword was put down, the atmosphere of the entire house changed completely!

It was as if the entire atmosphere of the house was now revolving around Chen Ye.

As someone in charge of high-end apartment real estate, Jeremy Lin has been in contact with many properties. Although he is not in charge of the Taoist temple, he has some knowledge of things like feng shui and is very spiritual, able to sense the energy inherent in a house.

But after Chen Ye confirmed his move here...

In just that instant, the entire atmosphere of the house changed!

This further convinced Shuhao that Chen Ye's identity was extraordinary, and that he possessed extraordinary abilities, just like the highly respected masters in the Taoist temple, which could not be seen through by ordinary eyes.

"If you live here and have any questions, you can call me through this business card."

Jeremy Lin took out a business card and respectfully placed it next to the telephone in the living room.

On a small round table next to the coffee table in the living room, there is a rotary telephone with a classic floral carving pattern. The numbers are dialed by rotating the dial.

Despite its old-fashioned design, the mechanical craftsmanship is far superior to that of plastic landline telephones.

They all look to be quite old.

It belongs to the category of collectibles.

now.

The fact that the entire house title deed was given to Chen Ye as a gift shows just how much sincerity people have shown in their efforts to win him over these past few days.

Moreover, the entire land title processing procedure was handled very quickly, with skilled staff and virtually no outstanding issues.

"it is good."

Chen Ye smiled slightly, put the business card away, and placed it in the cabinet.

Jeremy Lin gave a knowing smile and said, "Then I wish you a pleasant stay here. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me again."

This sentence was repeated many times... but such service is polite and respectful enough that it's impossible to find any fault with it.

"I'll invite you to be a special guest at my next concert!"

Chen Ye smiled and said.

"No problem, as long as there's a concert, I'll attend even if it's raining or snowing!"

Jeremy Lin's expression turned serious, and he patted his chest to assure him.

That concludes the polite greetings and small talk.

Jeremy Lin left a number with special contact information, as well as numbers for business management, community services, and a dedicated manager, before leaving.

Looking at the extra string of phone numbers on the table, Chen Ye shook his head and smiled.
"Indeed, only those with power can get the best service anywhere!"

Although I'm somewhat fascinated by the ingredients in this world, it ultimately failed to find a chef as outstanding as the King's Realm.

As for Chen Ye's own cooking skills...

It's definitely pretty good!
Chen Ye went into the kitchen area first, intending to check out the kitchenware provided with the house.

"The oven is even more high-end than Ito's; it's a luxury brand. At normal market prices, you'd need tens of thousands of copper coins to buy such a rare oven." "The stove, needless to say, looks like a home version, but its firepower rivals that of professional restaurants… Unfortunately, my [Radiant Sun Scroll] can be used here. Cooking with divine fire is, of course, far more advanced than ordinary kitchen fires."

"The same goes for rice cookers... Hey, they even have a box of Wuchang rice and Grade 5A natural fresh-pressed peanut oil here... The service is pretty good!"

After walking around the house, all I can say is that, apart from some items related to Dao artifacts and various facilities, which are high-end and impressive, it's almost impossible to find any faults.

Chen Ye then settled down in his new house with peace of mind.

At the same time, an extra landline phone was added, which could be used to call Ito and the others.

As for the painting work... Chen Ye plans to return it all to Ito.

For himself, it would be better to utilize his status as a [Spirit Angel] to directly reverse the feeling of the entire human head balloon, and to assist them in breathing techniques, which would be more suitable for Chen Ye's career development path.

Moreover, if each concert is successfully held, it can once again reap another wave of faith power in this world.

Increasing the capacity and quantity of the Heavenly Mandate Qi is Chen Ye's most critical strategic goal at present!

now.

With such a comfortable residence, Chen Ye quickly adapted to life here.

Upon entering the room, the master bedroom is connected to the bathroom, featuring a large bathtub with a rose-scented jar next to it, perfect for a relaxing rose bath.

Besides the secondary bedroom facing north, there is a study facing southeast, with neatly arranged writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as high-quality blank couplet paper sheets, which can be used to write characters.

Chen Ye looked at the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table and suddenly felt a little itchy to use them.

He immediately went over and wrote a note.

Sword energy swept across the land, unleashing several dragon-like characters!

Several ink-splashed characters suddenly appeared on the page, their sword energy surging!
"This kind of calligraphy copybook should be able to ward off evil spirits or something!"

Chen Ye was about to put up the couplets when he suddenly noticed a jar of gold-plating powder inside the cabinet on his desk.

Open it and take a look.

It exudes a rich fragrance, like that of a special type of Zen wood, which is believed to ward off evil and bring blessings.

Chen Ye immediately recognized that this perfume powder must be very expensive.

and.

It's still a product of the Taoist temple!

It's the perfect choice for securing your home!
Simply sprinkle a tiny bit of the powder from inside onto the calligraphy copybook...

Suddenly, the calligraphy copybook was adorned with gilded gold patterns, which, combined with the dragon-like characters, made the characters seem to come alive, exuding a crystal-clear aura!

According to Chen Ye's [Eye of Fortune], a golden dragon was wrapped around the calligraphy scroll, as if it could crush any evil spirits that attacked it!
"Just stick it on the door!"

Chen Ye smiled.

This house was originally uninhabited; it was the only empty house. The other houses were filled with more upscale residents, and they had almost everything: couplets on the doors, burnt mugwort, talismans pasted on the doorframes. Only this house looked a bit empty.

Adding some couplets makes it look more festive.

After the couplets were pasted up, the atmosphere of the entire house changed again!

Chen Ye looked at the peach wood sword and went out to buy groceries.

Take the elevator down.

At this time, the streets in this area were cleaned up and spotless.

In the past, the balloons depicting people's heads were relatively orderly, and their expressions no longer seemed so pained. Today, for the first time ever, some sunshine appeared.

It's as if sunlight is a very scarce resource in this world.

Chen Ye went into the supermarket, bought some fresh meat, and spent twenty-five bronze coins.

"That's really expensive!"

Chen Ye originally thought that he would be rich by earning three thousand copper coins from holding a concert.

But he realized he was wrong!

That's why they've never even been to the market!

It has to be said that most people in this world consume frozen meat; fresh meat is basically sold as a high-end product!
I spent fifteen copper coins to buy soy sauce, salt, oyster sauce, peanut oil, and other seasonings...

"The seasonings of this world are almost exactly the same as those of the world before the bloodshed."

Chen Ye hadn't felt this way in a long time—going out on his own to buy groceries normally.

Although there were human head balloons floating in the street, constantly reminding him that this world was not the world before his arrival, being able to buy groceries as usual was still a precious opportunity for Chen Ye at this moment.

You should know that there is no such opportunity in the "City of Destiny"!
Although the food there is indeed quite delicious, the seasonings taste rather strange. Without the right characteristics to support them, the food would be inedible!
After returning to the house, Chen Ye used the divine fire from the [Blazing Sun Scroll] to light the stove.

Let's use the peach wood sword to bless all this pork!

A peach wood sword is, in essence, a spiritual object.

With Chen Ye's current high level of spirituality, he can perform the consecration ceremony himself.

Moreover, the effect was even better than all the masters in the Taoist temple combined!

After being consecrated by the peach wood sword, the fishy and foul smell that the meat naturally carried was greatly reduced.

Boil the pot, start the fire!

Chen Ye directly transformed his palm into [Demon Scissors], and with several flashes of light, the meat was instantly sliced ​​into thin, evenly sized pieces.

After marinating and sealing in oil, they were arranged on a plate and left to sit for ten minutes...

Then I started a fire and prepared the cabbage.

This is such a simple home-style dish, but the taste is almost exactly the same as in the world before I arrived, and the ingredients are so fresh that the taste is even better!

Four dishes and a soup: stir-fried pork with chili peppers, boiled beef, boiled cabbage in clear broth, steamed chicken, and a pot of fragrant seafood soup...

After eating this meal, Chen Ye immediately felt a surge of pure power within his body, which was transforming into the blood and qi of his body!

"Sure enough!"

"The food in this world is the blood of heaven and earth."

"After consuming it, not only has it increased the capacity of this body to absorb it, but it has also raised the limit of how much the Heavenly Dao can bear for me!"

After consuming such refined food, Chen Ye immediately felt a strange energy flow in his stomach.

It is different from previous energy flows.

Chen Ye's mind stirred slightly.

He realized that the meal he had prepared was different from the food he had eaten before!

He immediately sat down cross-legged, activated his breathing techniques, and began his practice! (End of Chapter)
