Chapter 88 Buying a House
Chapter 88 Buying a House
Are these all things that will happen in the future?
Di Xing nodded
"Hey, what's going on?" Nami circled around them, puzzled, her golden hair fluttering in the wind as she moved.
"It's nothing, I just told her DT's story."
"What? I didn't see you say anything either. But that series of stories is quite grand, and two of the 20 divine descents that unleashed the Great End come from the DT World Collection."
"Sofia and Tierra? Can they both exist at the same time?"
“The world of the Card Spirits is a collection of worlds,” Ai Xiao interjected. “It’s not a single world, you know. You can think of it as parallel universes. The universe where Tiera was resurrected follows the entire DT storyline to its conclusion, while the timeline of the universe where Sophia came from hasn’t even reached the arrival of the Zerg.”
"I see" is still quite complicated.
"Then can I change the future of our world?" Aria's heart filled with hope upon hearing this.
“Theoretically, it’s possible,” Ai Xiao said hesitantly. “While you are in this world, time is also flowing in your world, but we don’t know the speed of the flow. Your return might change the course of the world, but it’s said that no new cards will be created because the system of this world recognizes the world of DT.”
"Another theory is that the card spirits will lose their memories of this world after returning. In short, it is indeed possible to change the future, but it is extremely difficult."
"Even so, I'm going to try," Aria said firmly.
"Then, Aria, would you like to come with me? Let's find a way to become stronger together. Only by becoming stronger can we change the future of your world."
Nami glared at Di Xing, as if to say, "Are you trying to seduce young girls again?" But she didn't say it aloud.
Aria looked at Vitty questioningly, and the latter smiled at her, indicating her approval.
So Aria looked at Di Xing again and said, "I'll go with you, big brother."
Then Di Xing turned Aria into a card.
Looking at Aria on the card, Di Xing fell into deep thought. The life forms on Planet Dt had endured countless hardships and fought with everything they had, ultimately striving to avoid being controlled by the so-called "gods" in terms of life and death. Hmm, humanity was truly fortunate.
Di Xing then said to Vivi, "Let's exchange contact numbers. If the Li family causes you any more trouble, be sure to contact me, and I'll come to your aid."
Vivi chuckled. "You? You're not even as strong as me."
Di Xing scratched his cheek sheepishly, "This has nothing to do with whether someone is strong or not, right?"
"Hmph, fine, but I'm going to be quite unceremonious in ordering you around."
After exchanging numbers, Di Xing and his group said goodbye to Vidy. After several more hours of travel, they finally returned to the hotel, where Ruan Nuo and Lunia were already waiting for them.
Lunia was wearing a yellow casual sundress, radiating youthful energy. Beside her, Ruan Nuo was still wearing her Irish-style belted dress. Lunia was using this rare moment of leisure to braid Ruan Nuo's silver hair, currently working on a difficult "flying fairy bun" style similar to Luo Tianyi's. Ruan Nuo sat there obediently like a doll.
Seeing the two, Nami happily went to greet them, but they ignored her and ran straight towards Di Xing. Nami was furious, her face flushed, and she had an urge to jump up and fight Di Xing.
Lunia said to Dixing, "I have news about the house you asked me to inquire about. There's a mansion not far from here. It was built for a noblewoman when she was exiled to the fourth floor for taking the blame for her family's crime. It was considered a luxurious building on the fourth floor. But later, that noblewoman died mysteriously in the mansion, and then the mansion started to be haunted. Nobody dares to buy that house anymore."
Wow, I can't believe there really are houses like this. Sato Kazuma wasn't lying to me.
"How much does that house cost now?"
"Fifty gold coins is a huge sum on the fourth floor, but it's still cheap compared to the original value of the house."
"No noble family would want to buy that house and then demolish it."
“The noble family that originally owned that house seems to still have considerable influence. Perhaps the other nobles don’t want a house to escalate into a conflict between them,” Lunya said.
“Okay, let’s go check out that house then, but before we do,” Di Xing handed the cards he won from Du Shuhao to Lunia, “these are the cards I won; they should be able to build a deck with the Revolver Dragon.”
Lunya looked at the cards with some surprise and said happily, "Thank you."
"What about me?" Nami pouted, clearly dissatisfied. Lunya hugged her tightly. "Thank you too." Nami then gave a satisfied, goofy smile.
Di Xing couldn't help but facepalm. When Nami wasn't talking, she had the air of a standard elegant and beautiful young lady, dressed very lavishly. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she lost all her ladylike demeanor.
Before setting off, Di Xing provided the innkeeper with a low-interest loan of 15 gold coins. In the fourth level, where prices were not high, this was enough for him to complete his subsequent treatment. However, even in this world, the cure rate for cancer was still very low, let alone in the fourth level where medical resources were scarce. But this was all Di Xing could do.
As for the boss's son, let him figure out his own gambling debts. He dug his own hole, so he has to find a way to fill it up, even if it means shedding tears.
Then Di Xing and his group drove to the supposedly cursed house. After seeing the house with their own eyes, Di Xing felt that it was more like a mansion than a house; it was truly enormous.
A gaunt old man waited for the group at the door. The terminal he held projected the image of a wealthy woman, presumably the current owner of the house. Lunya, to pretend to be rich and haggle with this woman, had borrowed Nami's clothes. It had to be said, they were a bit small, especially there...
*Smack!* Di Xing received a sharp rap on the head. "You were probably thinking about something rude, weren't you?"
"No way," Nami said, not using much force, so Di Xing joked, "I'd be a dog if I lied to you."
He was thinking very gentlemanly things, how could he be impolite?
"Humph"
Then Di Xing and his group witnessed Lunia's incredibly skilled bargaining; her domineering attitude was completely different from the gentle Lunia they knew.
The noblewoman opposite them was furious. In the end, they bought the house for 35 gold coins, a full 15 gold coins cheaper, which is 15 gold coins. Long live Lunya!
The transaction was very simple and was completed within ten minutes. The old man, finally relieved to have sold the house, breathed a sigh of relief and then said in a sinister tone, "Let me tell you, this place is really haunted. You must be careful. The head of the family was even planning to hire an exorcist girl to exorcise the evil spirits here, but now he's had you buy it instead. The head of the family probably thought it was simpler this way."
"Exorcist Girl, could it be..."
"Di Xing, what are you doing here?"
A familiar voice rang out, and Di Xing stiffly turned his head. Sure enough, it was Li Fei Hua Yue.
