Re-entering the Apocalypse

However, the villa hadn't been lived in for a long time, so not only did the lawn in the yard need fixing, but the inside and outside of the house also needed cleaning.

Li Yang hired six housekeepers. They spent two days cleaning the villa inside and out as quickly as possible. He then placed an order for cleaning three times a month and contacted installers for a smart home system, along with some designers, to reconfigure the villa's layout.

After the renovations were complete, the entire villa was brand new, filled with smart home features and beautiful, simple decor, looking completely refreshed.

He then had some new clothes delivered to the closet, stocked the refrigerator with drinks, prepared ingredients in the kitchen, and hired a cook at a slightly higher-than-market price. Another week passed, and on the fourteenth day after viewing the property, August 1st, he officially moved in.

"Buzz..."

The car came to a stop in front of the villa. Chen Qian, wearing a wine-red dress, light makeup, and black shoes, looking youthful, lively, and charming, was holding Li Yang's arm. He was wearing high-end but comfortable everyday clothes. She smiled, showing a row of white, neat teeth, as they stood in front of the villa's main gate.

Facial recognition successful

The two stood in front of the gate and scanned their faces with the facial recognition lock. Along with a voice prompt, the door opened. A smile immediately appeared on Li Yang's face, and he strode into the villa with Chen Qian.

The moment they entered, Li Yang clearly felt Chen Qian's body tense up beside him.

"From today, we'll be living here?"

It wasn't until they reached the spacious hall on the first floor, looking around at the luxurious surroundings, that Chen Qian asked Li Yang with a touch of excitement.

"That's right, we're living here. Live however you want."

Li Yang laughed heartily, pulling Chen Qian into his arms and saying with a big smile. A villa – it was a residence he had fantasized about countless times, and now, it had truly become his. The indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

"Ah, that's great, hubby. I don't know how to thank you."

Chen Qian was also overjoyed. Hearing this, Li Yang's mouth curved up: "No, you do."

After the passion subsided, Li Yang and Chen Qian settled into the villa. That afternoon, Li Yang posted on his WeChat Moments.

The photo in his Moments showed Li Yang sitting on a chair inside the villa. His left arm was around Chen Qian, who was wearing ultra-short shorts and a wine-red shirt, revealing her tender white legs and looking as if she wasn't wearing pants. In his right hand, he held an Audi car key. On the table next to him was the property deed, with Li Yang's signature on it.

The first day of August, a long-held dream fulfilled. A gift to myself.

Location: Heyang City · East District · Chunfeng Villa Area

Damn, a villa!

Bro, others get their first cup of milk tea in autumn, you get your first villa in August?

Awesome!

How did you make this money, bro? Teach me!

Less than a minute after editing and sending, the likes and comments surged upwards.

"Hahaha."

Li Yang tossed his phone aside and couldn't help but laugh twice. The years of struggling and difficult life were over.

Feeling refreshed, he also felt a little restless. He looked at Chen Qian's beautiful body and immediately slapped the chair, stood up, and took Chen Qian downstairs to change into swimsuits. He then held her tightly and went into the pool for some exercise.

"Hubby~"

"..."

Life after moving into the villa was comfortable, but in the following days, Li Yang was no longer as leisurely as before. Instead, he was like a wound-up clock, quietly purchasing several more properties in quick succession.

These properties included houses in the county center, rural houses on the outskirts of the county, and rural houses in the suburbs outside Heyang City, as well as housing near the urban area of Heyang City.

All in all, he spent over two million yuan, and the property purchases came to a halt.

He had mostly completed what he wanted to do most in the real world.

Things with his family weren't urgent at the moment. After all, his current funds were like rootless duckweed; everything he was doing now was like eating through his savings.

And once he got in touch with his family, it would inevitably take a lot of time. He was currently in a state of intense development, so there was no need to rush into it at this time.

The most important thing was to first lay a solid foundation for the World Gate and his own true base; everything else was secondary.

Therefore...

This day, early in the morning.

Li Yang opened his eyes from bed. The sunlight outside shone through the villa room window onto the head of the bed. The lush green lawn visible outside the window seemed to bring in a fresh scent.

"Hubby, breakfast is almost ready. I cooked it myself today. Hurry up and get washed up for breakfast."

Before he could feel lost for long, Chen Qian, wearing a fitted nightgown, walked into the room and urged him softly. After she finished speaking, she stepped into her slippers, picked up a spatula, and walked towards the kitchen with small steps.

"Why are you cooking yourself? Don't we have the auntie?"

Li Yang muttered, guessing that she was too idle and wanted to find something to do. He shook his head and got out of bed to wash up.

Fortunately, Chen Qian's cooking skills were good, and the other dishes she made were also very tasty. Plus, with Chen Qian accompanying him, Li Yang had a very pleasant breakfast.

Ever since returning to Heyang City, Li Yang had developed the habit of doing morning exercises.

She did them almost every day, so today Chen Qian very consciously prompted Li Yang to start his morning exercises.

"I'll let you off the hook today. Go get some good rest."

Li Yang understood what was going on in an instant. He rolled his eyes, and Chen Qian's eyes immediately lit up: "Really?"

Following Li Yang for this period of time, she genuinely felt scared. Now, hearing Li Yang say this, she felt as if she had been granted a great pardon.

"Hurry up and go study."

Li Yang patted the small hand that Chen Qian was slowly starting to move on its own. Chen Qian immediately stuck out her tongue and smiled, showing her teeth: "Okay, hubby, I'll go study then."

"Go on, go on."

Li Yang waved his hand and watched Chen Qian walk to the study to start studying. After tidying up, she even stuck her tongue out at him before sitting down properly and immersing herself in studying.

Li Yang looked at the study with the door left open and shook his head. He didn't, as Chen Qian had guessed, wait for her to show she was studying and then suddenly rush in to instill the spirit of learning. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the storage room on the second basement level.

Inside, a pile of brand new items came into view. Li Yang's gaze swept over them, and he walked forward to start changing.

Before long, Li Yang, dressed in a combat suit with a bulletproof helmet and a headlamp strapped on, walked out of the room carrying a drone. He told Chen Qian he was going out to have some fun and drove to a civilian house in the suburbs.

He parked the car, got out, walked into the house, and locked the door. The next moment, Li Yang's figure suddenly vanished from his original spot.

Swish...

Space and time shifted. In just an instant, a dilapidated-looking gold shop, filled with crossbows, Miao Daos, and armor, instantly appeared before his eyes.
