460 Thunder Pool Tesserac (1/2)
Ding!
[Thunder Pool Tesseract: Yun Zhongzi captured the Spirits of the First Thunder and gathered them into this tesseract spiritual pool. No one is allowed to step foot in the area covered by the Thunder Pool Tesseract! Do you want to take it?]
”Yun Zhongzi… He is one of the greater deities of Chanism. I think it would be practically indestructible on earth since he crafted it personally!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed excitedly as he regarded it carefully.
”Hmmm. 'No one is allowed to set foot in the area covered by the Thunder Pool Tesseract'? Might be good for defensive applications. Either way, I'm not too sure. Guess I should ask Monkey King about it first…” He mumbled and whipped out his cellphone.
Monkey King: A little busy here, so I'll cut to the chase. The Thunder Pool Tesseract is actually half-completed, but it can be used for protection. No enemies can set foot in the area it covered.
Monkey King: Since it's only half completed, it could also be upgraded. In the future, you can modify it into other items if your cultivation is powerful enough! It's also why Lei Zhenzi found it so hard to give it to you.
Chen Xiaobei: Bro, thank you so much! Go do your thing, we'll take more about it later!
Chen Xiaobei set his handphone aside and smiled.
'Thunder Pool Tesseract… This is one majestic item!' He thought. 'Anyway, Yap Liangchen should be looking for a suitable to plant the First Love Peaches now. I should also start establishing my own faction, and compete those top factions in Dragon City once my faction is powerful enough! Hehehe… I'm looking forward to this!'
In the afternoon.
Chen Xiaobei bought two sedans, two SUV, and two 4WDs – all of which were Mercedes Benz, fully equipped with every available accessory and aftermarket parts. Getting into one of them, he drove over to Luo Puti's house – his mom had practically coerced him to take her to dinner at their new home.
It was unfortunate that he had told his mother that Luo Puti had been assigned to work at Dragon City, which made her even more eager to meet her favorite daughter-in-law again. He thought he would have died from her nagging alone if he refused.
By a stroke of luck, it turned out that that Luo Puti also had something to discuss with Chen Xiaobei, which was why she quickly gave him her address.
Lake Xuanwu, south side of Dragon City.
Affluent families lived here. Their mansions were not as grand or luxurious as Guiyan Mansion of the Zhuang Family and Wolong Mansion of the Cao Family, but it remained that this was virtually where all the upper-middle class families were gathered.
The mansions were built around the lake, allowing the residents a picturesque view of the lake, which made serenity one of the locale's unique selling point. They were also expensive – according to property experts, the cheapest mansion here would cost around three hundred million! The average joe would never even think about buying one here.
Luo Puti lived in one of those mansions, built upon elevated ground. Hers was one designed in traditional Chinese fashion, which made Chen Xiaobei felt as if he had traveled back in time the moment he stepped inside.
A security guard led him into the mansion after he introduced himself.
In the garden.
Luo Puti was wearing a white long dress today, and was watering a pot of white roses with a pot of intricate crafting. The flowers were as perfect and pure as her.
”So… She likes roses, huh?” Chen Xiaobei watched from a distance.
”Mr. Chen, I believe you know one or two things about flowers?” The security guard asked politely. He was neither rude nor offensive since he was a friend of Luo Puti.
