Chapter 446: A Bountiful City
Chapter 446: A Bountiful City
Lindsay and Wah Wah Wah naturally went out to meet the Red Robe, who had a different role from the Blue Robe Art Police. In Thousand Sails City, the Red Robes were messengers of good news, and no one would refuse to meet them.
The two arrived at the hall and immediately saw a crimson shadow in the room.
The leader was someone Lindsay recognized:
"Mr. Luke Eagle?"
It was the Red Robe who had helped Lindsay the day before.
Now it seemed that the 'reward will be delivered within three days' he had mentioned before leaving was to be delivered today!
Luke Eagle smiled and nodded, stepping forward to shake Lindsay's hand warmly.
They sat down on the sofa in the mansion's front hall, and the Red Robe quietly asked:
"Mr. Lindsay, have you met Mr. Somla?"
Lindsay realized what he meant; this was the name of the Blue Robe Elder who had appeared with the owner of the Fimbull Theatre yesterday:
"Yes, I did meet him."
"Mr. Somla was also present when we were looking for Miss Lina yesterday."
Only then did Luke Eagle understand:
"I see."
"The esteemed person spoke highly of you at the Crimson Tower Morning Assembly this morning. The reward, which was supposed to be delivered in two days, has been brought forward and delivered today."
As he spoke, Luke Eagle took out a roll of paper from his long robe.
He opened it right in front of Lindsay:
"The rewards for Mr. Antoni and Mr. Aralson may take another two days. Here, you'll find only the rewards for you and Miss Wah Wah Wah."
Lindsay reached out and took it.
His reward was a letter of appreciation, a certificate, and a check that could be exchanged for gold coins.
Wah Wah Wah received a certificate and an additional house renovation permit.
Thousand Sails City's handling was straightforward and efficient.
Honor, identity, and wealth, things that people strive for, were all given out in the simplest manner.
Lindsay and Wah Wah Wah naturally accepted these rewards.
However, it was this house renovation permit that stirred some thoughts in Lindsay's mind.
He would be staying in Thousand Sails City until the conclusion of the art festival.
In this bustling city, it was time to put his plant shop to good use.
Lindsay turned to Luke Eagle and asked:
"Mr. Luke Eagle, may I ask you something?"
Luke Eagle nodded naturally:
"I'd be happy to help."
Lindsay asked:
"If I plan to buy a plot of land in Thousand Sails City without the cost of constructing a house, how much would it be?"
Luke Eagle immediately understood Lindsay's intention.
After a moment of thought, he gave his answer:
"This amount of money is definitely not feasible in the Purple, Blue, and Green Zones."
"Houses in the Green Zone are usually not for sale to outsiders. So, the remaining options are the Yellow and Orange Zones."
"The environments in these two places are also quite good. If you don't buy a house and its interior decorations..."
Swish—
At this moment, Wah Wah Wah tugged at Lindsay's sleeve from behind and whispered:
"The Orange Zone."
Lindsay turned his head:
"The Orange Zone? What about it?"
Wah Wah Wah hugged Lindsay with both arms, forcing his gaze back towards Luke Eagle. At this moment, the young woman's head rested against Lindsay's back, and her soft voice reached him:
"The Orange Zone. My studio is also there."
"Next to your house... that would be perfect."
Witnessing this scene.
Luke Eagle stood up with a smile, shaking his red sleeves:
"It seems you two have made up your minds."
"In that case, I welcome Mr. Lindsay on behalf of Thousand Sails City."
With a polite farewell, Luke Eagle left the mansion.
Lindsay and Wah Wah Wah didn't plan to disturb anyone else; they returned to their room, ready to depart.
It was just noon.
Following the principle of not wasting anything, they planned to have one last lunch at the mansion before leaving.
During their meal.
Lindsay and Wah Wah Wah saw the head of the Kuwait family.
The art connoisseur went straight to his daughter.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Kuwait did not harshly criticize but took Anthony with him.
As the three of them disappeared from the estate's entrance, Lindsey, who was enjoying grilled fish with Valalala, spoke up, "Valalala, what do you think will happen to them?"
The girl pouted, "What else could happen to him?"
"If you don't want your daughter to elope with that wild boy, then you'd better learn to accept life's trials."
Lindsey corrected, "I'm talking about the guy who interferes with fate!"
Valalala's perspective today was surprisingly optimistic:
"With the Seven-Stage Elder watching over him, nothing bad should happen."
"The Art Appraiser's eyes are truly formidable."
As she spoke, Valalala swallowed a mouthful of grilled fish and brought up another idea:
"Besides waiting for the investigation results..."
"I think we can start with the Fimbull Theatre."
"That actress named Lily is also entangled in Anthony's life script."
"If we let the theatre's scriptwriter take a look, they might be able to find the method he used to alter fate, and we can narrow down some of his identity traits."
After sharing her thoughts, Valalala winked at Lindsey, "Speaking of which, Lindsey, you're really taking this matter to heart, aren't you?"
Lindsey sighed, "Although he didn't alter my fate..."
"But I can't help but feel that letting a fallen artist like that run rampant and mess with others' lives won't lead to anything good."
Valalala finished the food in her hand.
She and Lindsey walked towards the estate's entrance, discussing along the way:
"Let's think about the present for now."
"The reward from the Art Association is enough to buy an empty plot, but it's not nearly enough to build a house."
"Constructing a foundation at sea, hiring professional architects for the design, and transporting building materials from other regions—every project is incredibly expensive!"
Valalala carefully calculated, "Building a house from scratch..."
"If you want to live comfortably, it will cost at least three to four hundred gold coins. Do you have enough money?"
Lindsey looked at his travel bag.
He didn't even need to use the Golden Rule for this.
He was about to place his plant in the ground, so this expense was unnecessary, but he couldn't help but complain about the high cost:
"Is building a house in Thousand Sails City this expensive?"
Valalala replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it is! This is Thousand Sails City."
"If you were to build a house in a remote area, a few dozen gold coins would be more than enough."
As if in response to Lindsey's thoughts, the task list on the screen began to change.
A brand new task appeared:
[Floral Extravaganza]
[The grand art festival is about to begin! Excellent managers will not miss this opportunity!
Operate a shop in Thousand Sails City, spread your reputation, and upgrade your personal shop.]
[Task Reward: Simulation Management Module Upgrade, Random Teleport Potion x3]
"..."
The module upgrade was self-explanatory, and Lindsey was determined to get it.
But this Random Teleport Potion...
Lindsey and Valalala walked out of the painting space together.
He stared at the task information, pondering over the Random Teleport Potion. If its effect matched his expectations, it might be a trump card for escaping dire situations.
The two of them walked towards the Orange Zone, one in front of the other.
But before they had taken a few steps, Valalala, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped in front of Mewin Street's Public Gallery, number 27.
A girl wearing a sun hat, her face partially covered by her collar, approached and stood before them.
The girl had disguised her appearance.
But Valalala immediately recognized her and her tone became complex:
"Remstar?"
"What are you doing here?"
