Buying Land to Build a House?

The first floor of the Wala Wala little house is completely designed as a studio.

Two easels were placed by the window facing the sea, with an unfinished painting of the sea on the canvas.

On the table to the left are some exhibits: small sculptures, gift cards, bracelets and necklaces, a wide variety of items.

In addition, there is a set of tables and chairs on the right side of the first floor for entertaining guests.

Although there was no dust or obvious stains on the ground.

But this excessively clean interior is clearly the result of the 'bloody battle' that just took place.

"You two can sit wherever you like."

Wala Wala said she didn't welcome the other party.

But after Linsey and Yao Xing sat down, she still took out two cakes from the cupboard, and then used a strangely shaped ceramic pot with two spouts to bring up a pot of water.

"Um..."

"I bought this cake before I left home. It's been sitting for about two weeks. It should be fine to eat it, right?"

Linsey looked at the bright yellow cake and said in a subtle tone, "Two weeks—are you sure it's still edible?"

Wala Wala's eyes hardened. "We're all Awakened Ones, why be so formal!"

Linsey sighed and pulled out the berry cookies she had made in the Courtyard in the Forest.

Personal Baggage has many advantages.

The food you put in won't expire; it will look exactly the same as when you first put it in, no matter when you take it out.

"If you had food, you should have brought it out earlier! Why eat expired cake..."

"This... huh???"

"What is this taste! Unbelievable..."

The two girls' gasps of surprise echoed from the studio.

Even as an actor at the Fimbul Theater, Yao Xing had never tasted such perfect food before, and was instantly captivated by its exquisite flavor.

The Wala Wala on the side was equally impressive.

But she was more direct, grabbing Linsey's arm and pressing her for details. "Linsey, where did you get this?"

"This smell is really... You, you didn't put something in it, did you?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Linsey rolled her eyes at the girl. "I made this myself, but with the help of my skills, I made the process as perfect as possible."

Wala Wala swallowed the berry cookie in her hand in one gulp.

Then he shook his head and sighed, "This is probably the best we can do with food made by Third Stage chef."

Then, the girl's gaze shifted to Yao Xing:

"So, what do you want from Yao Xing, that I've dragged you all the way here?"

"I have officially announced my retirement from the stage, and there is no way I will be able to return to perform."

Yao Xing's tone was somewhat worried. "I..."

The girl knew about Wala Wala's keen insight into emotions.

Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, he was afraid he would be kicked out and never see them again.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yao Xing decided to tell the truth:

"It's Mr. Fimbul who asked me to get to know you better."

In an instant Wala Wala understood everything. "So you can't figure things out, so you have to contact me to open up your mind."

Yao Xing nodded slightly:

That's right.

"..."

Wala Wala a tilt of her head back, she sat cross-legged and sank into her beloved sofa.

She certainly didn't want Yao Xing to be lurking around her all the time.

However, if an actor cannot overcome their psychological constraints, their artistic development will likely remain stagnant.

Should I really refuse?

"Well--"

"If you want to come, then come."

"However, I also have my own work and life, so don't expect me to focus all my attention on you."

Wala Wala finally relented.

With this permission granted, Yao Xing was naturally overjoyed. Relieved, she even had the energy to take a look at the furnishings inside the room:

"Selina ..."

"Call me Wala Wala."

"Okay, Wala Wala." Yao Xing nodded happily. "You lived in the Orange District, didn't your old fans notice?"

Wala Wala raised her right hand in the air and shook it from side to side, as if fanning away powder in the air:

You recognized me?

"The audience isn't as sensitive as you are."

"I just jump off the stage, take off my mask, and stop singing, and they won't recognize me."

"..."

Yao Xing immediately fell silent.

However, the silence didn't last three seconds before Wala Wala jumped up from the sofa. "Don't be so depressing in my room!"

The girl picked up the oddly shaped kettle.

I took a sip from the left spout first, then from the right, keeping the water level in the pot perfectly balanced.

She glanced at the two people inside the room with a smug look.

Then he pulled Linsey outside, saying, "Linsey, weren't you planning to buy a piece of land?"

"You saw it next to my house, right? There's still quite a bit of open space!"

Linsey nodded in response:

"Yes, I saw it..."

To the left of the Wala Wala Studio, there is a large open space on the street. It's enough to build not just one house, but three or five apartment buildings.

Right by the fence outside the house, Wala Wala began to explain to the open space next door, "In the city, the farther away from that tower, the cheaper the land and housing prices."

"This is especially true in places like ours that are near the sea."

"Because the land is directly exposed to the sea breeze, and large waves can cause problems, the land for new construction nearby is relatively cheap."

At this point, Wala Wala subtly sensed that something was amiss.

She immediately changed her tune and began to tout the advantages of the neighborhood:

"Of course, the scenery here is in a league of its own, and there are no castles or caves around to block the sun."

"And because it's the area most severely affected by ocean erosion, the city even lowers property taxes, so long-term residents can accumulate a considerable amount of money!"

Wala Wala about the pros and cons.

At this moment, she recalled her previous discussion with Linsey.

Because she was interrupted by Yao Xing's appearance, she was unaware of Linsey's financial situation. "Linsey, you've just arrived in City of a Thousand Sails, you probably don't have much money on you..."

The girl hadn't finished speaking.

Eager to make a name for himself, Yao Xing stepped forward and opened his handbag.

The big star was very straightforward. "Um, I have money here!"

Linsey quickly stopped Yao Xing's enthusiastic gesture. "The Art Association gave me a prize money, so I can still afford to buy this land."

"..."

Wala Wala kept a close eye on Yao Xing's wallet and Linsey's hand that was blocking the other person's way.

The girl spoke:

"As for money, I... I always have a way."

"Speaking of which, I know a few designers around here. Linsey, let me introduce you; maybe I can get you a discounted price!"

Linsey replied with a smile:

"We don't need designers."

"I can build this house myself!"

Wala Wala had no idea what Linsey was planning.

Hearing this, she assumed Linsey planned to design the house herself, and following her train of thought, said, "Then you'd better be careful. Reinforce the foundation, waterproof and prevent corrosion... Also, the seabirds here like to poop in the sky. If you're planning to build a yard, you'll have to keep that in mind too."

Linsey smiled confidently, "Don't worry!"

"I have plenty of ways to build houses!"
