Chapter 448: Buying Land and Building a House?
Chapter 448: Buying Land and Building a House?
The first floor of Wah Wah Wah's cottage was entirely set up like a studio.
By the window facing the sea, there were two easels with unfinished paintings of the ocean on the canvases.
On the table to the left were various exhibition items, including small sculptures, gift cards, beaded necklaces, and an assortment of other objects.
Additionally, on the right side of the first floor, there was a set of tables and chairs for entertaining guests.
Although the floor was spotless, with no visible dust or stains.
However, this overly clean indoor scene was obviously the result of the recent 'bloody battle' that had just taken place.
"You two can sit wherever you like."
Wah Wah Wah spoke unwelcomingly.
But after Lindsey and Remstar sat down, she still fetched two cakes from the cupboard and then used a strangely shaped teapot with two spouts to bring a pot of clear water.
"Hmm..."
"I bought these cakes before I left, and they've been sitting here for about two weeks. They should still be fine to eat, right?"
Lindsey looked at the yellow cake and spoke with a subtle tone:
"Two weeks—are you sure it's still edible?"
Wah Wah Wah glared at her:
"We're all Awakened Beings; there's no need to be so particular!"
Lindsey sighed and took out a berry sweet pie she had made in the Mystic Garden.
The benefits of having a portable bag were numerous.
Food placed inside wouldn't spoil, and whenever it was taken out, it would be as fresh as when it was first stored.
"Why didn't you bring out the food earlier! Why are you eating expired cake..."
"This... Huh???"
"What kind of taste is this! It's incredible..."
The two girls' exclamations echoed from within the studio.
Even as an actress at the Fenbhrum Theater, Remstar had never tasted such perfectly delicious food, and she was instantly captivated by the exquisite flavors in her mouth.
Wah Wah Wah, sitting beside her, was no less impressed.
Her actions were more direct; she grabbed Lindsey's arm and started asking:
"Lindsey, where did you get this?"
"This taste is truly incredible... Did you put something in it?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lindsey shot the girl a glare, "I made this myself, but with the help of the Skill, the cooking process was as perfect as possible."
Wah Wah Wah swallowed the berry sweet pie in one bite.
Then she shook her head and sighed:
"Food made by a Third Stage Chef is probably about this level."
After that, the girl's gaze shifted to Remstar:
"So, Remstar, why did you insist on coming here with me?"
"I've officially announced my retirement from the stage, and there's no way I'll ever go back to performing."
Remstar's tone was somewhat worried:
"I..."
The girl knew Wah Wah.
She also knew that if she said the wrong thing, she might be truly kicked out and never see her again.
After weighing her options, Remstar chose to speak the truth:
"It was Mr. Fenbhrum. He wanted me to spend more time with you."
Wah Wah Wah instantly understood everything:
"So you're confused about something in your heart, and you had to spend time with me to untangle your emotional knot."
Remstar nodded slightly:
"Yes, that's right."
"..."
Wah Wah Wah leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and sank into the comfort of her beloved sofa.
Of course, she didn't want Remstar to be constantly around her.
But if an actress couldn't resolve her inner shackles, her Skill development might also be stuck.
Should she really refuse?
"Sigh..."
"If you want to come, then come."
"But I have my own work and life here, so don't expect me to focus all my attention on you."
Wah Wah Wah finally relented.
Obtaining such permission, Remstar was naturally overjoyed, and with her worries put to rest, she had the leisure to take in the furnishings of the room:
"Selina..."
"Call me Wah Wah Wah."
"Alright, Wah Wah Wah," Remstar said happily, "You live in the Orange Zone, and you haven't been recognized by your old fans?"
Wah Wah Wah raised her right hand in the air, swaying it from side to side as if fanning away powder in the air.
"Recognize me?"
"The audience's nerves aren't as sensitive as yours."
"I just jumped off the stage, took off my mask, and stopped singing, and they couldn't recognize me anymore."
"..."
Remstar immediately fell silent.
However, the silence didn't last for even three seconds before Wah Wah Wah jumped up from the sofa:
"Don't be so gloomy in my house!"
The girl picked up the oddly shaped water pitcher.
She took a sip from the left spout, then another from the right, maintaining the water level in perfect balance.
She glanced at the two people in the room with a show-off look.
Then, she pulled Lindsey outside:
"Lindsey, weren't you planning to buy a piece of land?"
"You saw the empty space next to my house, right? There's still plenty of room!"
Lindsey nodded in response:
"Yes, I did see it..."
To the left of Wah Wah Wah's studio, there was a large vacant lot on the street. Not only could one house be built, but even three or five apartments could easily be constructed.
Right by the fence outside the house, Wah Wah Wah began explaining about the neighboring vacant lot:
"In the city, the further you are from that tower, the cheaper the land becomes."
"This is especially true for places near the sea like ours."
"Because the sea breeze blows directly here, and if the waves are a bit bigger, there could be trouble. That's why the nearby foundations are relatively cheaper."
Speaking up to this point, Wah Wah Wah subtly sensed something was amiss.
She immediately changed her tune and began touting the advantages of the area:
"Of course, the scenery here is unparalleled, and there aren't any castle caverns blocking the sun nearby."
"And because it's most severely eroded by the ocean, the city will specifically reduce property taxes. If you live here long-term, you can save a lot of money!"
Wah Wah Wah went on and on about the pros and cons.
At this moment, she remembered her previous discussion with Lindsey.
Due to Remstar's appearance, she still didn't know Lindsey's financial situation:
"Lindsey, you just arrived in Thousand Sails City, and the money you have on you is probably..."
The girl didn't finish her sentence.
Remstar, eager to show off, stepped forward and opened her handbag.
The superstar was very straightforward:
"Well, I have money here!"
Lindsey quickly stopped Remstar's enthusiastic gesture:
"The Art Association gave me a sum of money, and I can afford this plot of land."
"..."
Wah Wah Wah stared intently at Remstar's wallet and Lindsey's hand stopping her.
The girl spoke up:
"As for money, I... will figure something out."
"Speaking of which, I know a few designers here. Lindsey, let me introduce you, and maybe they'll give you a friend's price!"
Lindsey smiled and replied:
"I don't need a designer."
"I can build this house myself!"
Wah Wah Wah had no idea what Lindsey was planning.
Hearing this, she assumed Lindsey intended to design the house herself, so she followed her train of thought and said:
"Then you need to be careful. Reinforce the foundation, waterproof and corrosion-proof... Also, the seagulls here like to poop in the sky. If you're planning to make a yard, you need to pay attention to that too."
Lindsey smiled confidently:
"Don't worry!"
"I have plenty of ways to build a house!"
