Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 157 Acquiring Real Estate

Hearing their conversation, Yao Rao turned her head to look at Jiang Lan.

She had just noticed that everyone on the road had a little elf on their shoulder.

After entering the virtual universe, she also received a notification that the little sprite was for auxiliary purposes.

However, the elf on Jiang Lan's shoulder looks different from most people.

At first, she thought it was something like skin, so she didn't ask any more questions.

But now it seems that it's not that simple.

After all, the elf on her shoulder was quite rigid, like an emotionless program.

But Jiang Lan was actually able to have a conversation with him.

Yao Rao looked curiously at Babata on Jiang Lan's shoulder and asked:

"This is?"

"Oh, oh." Jiang Lan slapped her forehead. "Look, I forgot to introduce him to you. This is Babata, the intelligent life form from the Inheritance Land that I told you about before."

When Jiang Lan was with Yao Rao, she would occasionally mention Babata to him.

Therefore, Yao Rao already knew about Babata's existence.

But now that she's seen it, she's still somewhat surprised.

"Is he Babata?"

Upon hearing this, Babata grinned, revealing a sharp little fang, and said:

"I am Babata, you can call me Demon Babata!"

"Hello...

"Don't be nervous. Although you haven't seen me before, I've seen you before."

"Huh?" Yao Rao's eyes widened.

"Don't look at me so strangely." Babata continued with a smile, "I usually live on the wristband that Jiang Lan wears. I can check the outside world whenever I want, so of course I've seen you."

"this……"

Seeing that Yao Rao was somewhat reserved and embarrassed, Jiang Lan glanced at Babata to the side.

"We can chat later," Jiang Lan paused, then continued, "Let's buy property first."

"Alright."

Babata agreed with unusual ease.

Ever since Jiang Lan displayed that outrageous talent, Babata has been almost completely obedient to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan told him to go east, but he would never go west.

Jiang Lan told him to beat the dog, but he would never chase the chicken.

……

Five minutes later.

Virtual universe, Qianwu Continent, central area of ​​Black Dragon Island.

Looking at the three-story villa in front of him, Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction.

It has to be said that in the virtual universe, having money really makes things easier.

From the moment he asked Babata to purchase the property to now standing in front of the villa he bought, only five minutes had passed.

Moreover, the property is located in the best area on Heilongshan Island.

Although you can teleport anywhere in the virtual universe, the central location is still more valuable than other places.

Yao Rao stood beside him, her pretty face full of surprise.

"This villa must be expensive, right?"

Jiang Lan turned her head to look at Babata on her shoulder.

He only had a rough idea of ​​the price of the villa, and didn't know the exact figure.

And Babata didn't tell him that either.

Seeing Jiang Lan's gaze, Babata spoke up:

"This villa cost a total of 328 million Qianwu coins."

Hey!

Jiang Lan was startled.

This price is not cheap.

The jade fruit he bought for Yaorao was the largest expense he had made since inheriting Huyanbo's estate.

Even so, it would only amount to 30 million Qianwu coins.

The price of this villa is more than ten times that of the jade fruit!

However, Jiang Lan quickly calmed down.

This amount of money looks like a lot, but in reality, it's nothing to Jiang Lan.

As long as his strength improves quickly enough, his ability to make money will only get stronger.

In addition to the two remaining unclaimed inheritances left to him by Hu Yanbo, the real estate in this virtual universe is just a small amount of money.

"Let's go," Jiang Lan said to Yao Rao, "Let's go inside and see our home in the virtual universe."

The two walked into the villa's courtyard together.

Upon arriving at the door, the villa's main gate sensed Jiang Lan and opened automatically.

What comes into view is a spacious living room.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the third-floor ceiling, exuding extreme luxury.

The interior decoration of this villa is absolutely flawless.

The only downside is probably the price.

"How's the decor here? Do you like it?"

Jiang Lan walked into the living room, looked around, and said with satisfaction:

"Good."

"It's okay, if you don't like it, that's fine too. The decor here can be changed at will."

"Um?"

Jiang Lan was shocked.

Can it be exchanged?

"Don't make a fuss. Don't forget, this is a virtual universe. There's nothing we can't do if you can imagine it." Babata pointed to a virtual screen in front of the living room sofa and said, "You can change the decoration with one click in the central control system. Most of the templates are free, and a few are paid."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan immediately pulled Yao Rao to the middle of the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, he browsed through the virtual screen for a while and sure enough, he found the option to change the decoration.

Once you click on it, you'll find illustrations in various styles.

Jiang Lan randomly selected a free item, and the scene before her suddenly changed, transforming the entire living room into a space-themed spacescape.

The huge crystal chandelier that originally hung from the third floor has been transformed into a star suspended in the air, rotating and emitting light.

"Awesome!"

Jiang Lan exclaimed in surprise.

Yao Rao was also full of surprise, then leaned closer to Jiang Lan, "Can I try?"

Jiang Lan readily agreed and gave up her seat.

Yao Rao looked at it for a while, then tapped the virtual screen with her finger.

The view from the living room changes again.

Seeing how much fun Yao Rao was having, a smile also appeared on Jiang Lan's face.

He stood up and began to walk around the villa.

Besides the living room, the first floor has a huge reception room, plus two bedroom suites.

As for a kitchen, this villa doesn't have one.

After all, this is a virtual universe, not the real world.

What kind of person has so much free time that they can cook for themselves in a virtual universe?

After getting familiar with the entire three-story villa, Jiang Lan then approached Yao Rao.

"Come on, I'll show you around."

"Um……"

Yao Rao stood up from the sofa, looked at Jiang Lan, and seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm...Are you leaving again?"

She asked softly, her voice alluring.

Jiang Lan was taken aback.

Was he making it that obvious?

Surprisingly, Yao Rao saw right through it.

However, he did not deny it, and nodded, saying:

"Well, I have some things to take care of on Earth these next couple of days, and I'll have to leave for a while after that."

As he spoke, Jiang Lan patted Yao Rao's head and continued:

"I have to break my promise this time. I still can't take you out. I promise I will when I come back next time. And when you have a proper status, I'll get you a spaceship so you can go out whenever you want."
