Omniscience

"I happen to be going abroad. The villa will be empty for half a year. Do you want to rent it?"

Professor Qin asked directly.

Even if he rented it out, he would normally only rent to an acquaintance he knew well.

But Su Yuan...

Although Professor Qin had not known Su Yuan for long, they had hit it off at first sight.

And Su Yuan was a student at Magic City University, where Professor Qin had taught for decades.

In Professor Qin's view, he knew Su Yuan well enough.

As for Su Yuan's character...

There was nothing to criticize.

If his character had been even slightly lacking, he would not have taken the initiative to help him up.

With the state of society these days, what normal person would dare help an elderly person up?

"Would that... really be appropriate?" Su Yuan asked hesitantly.

"What's inappropriate about it?"

The more Su Yuan acted this way, the more reassured Professor Qin became.

"However, I'm short on time and need to head to the airport right away. I probably won't have time to sign a formal lease with you."

Professor Qin pondered for a moment, then waved his hand. "How about this? You move into the villa first. I'll charge you fifty thousand a month in rent, and when I return in half a year, we'll settle the rent then."

Without a formal lease, Professor Qin felt embarrassed about taking payment in advance, so he simply let Su Yuan move in first and pay later.

In fact, given the housing prices in Jinshan Villa District, fifty thousand a month was practically giving it away for free.

Professor Qin was not short of money. He simply did not want the house sitting empty. Now that he had found a tenant he liked, money was secondary.

Anyone who could afford to live in this villa district was not lacking in money either.

"Why don't I pay first?" Su Yuan said.

"No need."

Professor Qin shook his head. "I still have great faith in the credibility of Magic City University students."

It was not merely Su Yuan's identity as a Magic City University student. Through their earlier conversation, Professor Qin had also discovered Su Yuan's unique insights in the field of life sciences.

A talent like him would not achieve much less than Professor Qin in the future. He was completely worthy of trust.

"Thank you, Professor Qin."

Su Yuan stood and spoke.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Professor Qin immediately led Su Yuan to the entrance of the villa district.

"Xiao Wang."

Professor Qin gestured toward the security booth.

A middle-aged man with a ramrod-straight back immediately walked out.

"Elder Qin."

The middle-aged man gave Professor Qin a slight bow in respect.

"I'll be out of the country for a while. One of my younger relatives will be staying in the villa."

Professor Qin introduced Su Yuan.

Having Su Yuan pose as his relative was to get things done quickly. Only this way could they avoid all sorts of questions from the guards and delay his flight.

"My name is Lin Haichuan," Su Yuan immediately said.

"Mr. Lin." The middle-aged man bowed slightly.

"Later, take Xiao Chuan to register his fingerprints and irises."

Professor Qin said.

In a high-end residential area like Jinshan Villa District, entry and exit required iris and fingerprint verification.

The guards had even memorized the information of every resident in the district.

Anyone who was not a resident could not enter at all. Even if they snuck in, patrolling guards would find them.

Half an hour later.

Professor Qin had more or less finished handling matters in the residential area.

After exchanging contact information with Su Yuan,

he immediately headed to the airport.

Meanwhile, led by a security guard, Su Yuan arrived at Villa 66.

"Beep—" After passing the iris and fingerprint scan, Su Yuan entered the villa without issue.

The villa had three floors, along with a private garden, lawn, lake, and two basement levels. It covered more than five thousand square meters.

After entering, Su Yuan gave the place a cursory look before sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Everything went smoothly."

Su Yuan let out a soft breath.

From the moment he appeared at the café outside the residential area,

every action, movement, expression, and every word he had spoken had strictly followed the "answers" provided by the Grey Mirror.

Only in this way could he make Professor Qin take the initiative to rent the villa to him despite meeting for the first time.

If even one step or movement in the process had gone wrong, it would have made Professor Qin hesitate and affected the final outcome of renting the villa to him.

All of Professor Qin's reactions had been foreseen by the Grey Mirror, which in turn told Su Yuan how to respond, draw closer to him, and gain his trust.

It could be said that Professor Qin had no secrets whatsoever before the Grey Mirror. He was completely transparent.

The reason he had chosen Jinshan Villa District as his residence

was mainly because of the timing.

Since Professor Qin had been in a hurry to catch his flight, he had not had time to sign a lease. Thus, Su Yuan had moved in smoothly without needing to provide any identification.

In other words,

aside from Professor Qin, no one knew that Su Yuan had moved into Jinshan Residential Area.

As for the "Lin Haichuan" Professor Qin knew? That was also a false name Su Yuan had casually made up.

No one outside could trace it.

"For the next two years, this place will belong to me."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.

Professor Qin had said he was only going abroad for half a year.

But the Grey Mirror had told Su Yuan that, due to certain accidents, Professor Qin would remain overseas for at least two years.

"Is this what Omniscience can do?"

Waves rose in Su Yuan's heart.

Planning within the command tent!

Leaving nothing unaccounted for!

Every action he took and every word he spoke carried profound meaning.

"By now, the ganoderma and old ginseng I bought should have arrived."

Su Yuan glanced outside the villa.

More than two days ago, after receiving his first million-yuan bounty, Su Yuan had begun selecting various ganoderma and old ginseng to prepare for his cultivation.

Since he had purchased them online, it took time for the ganoderma and old ginseng to be delivered here.

As for the delivery address...

Two days earlier, Su Yuan had already decided through the Grey Mirror that this would be where he lived.

Therefore, all the ganoderma and old ginseng he bought had been sent to Villa 66 in Jinshan Residential Area.

"Security office."

Manager Wang, the middle-aged man, was informing all the guards of the villa district's latest resident information.

"The current resident of Villa 66 is Elder Qin's younger relative, named 'Lin Haichuan.' Remember it well. Don't fail to recognize him and be unable to say his name."

Manager Wang looked at the guards and spoke solemnly.

"Elder Qin's relative?"

"I remember Elder Qin has a son, but he went abroad."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Elder Qin to have another younger relative."

The guards could not help murmuring among themselves.

"That's enough."

Manager Wang frowned. "Anyone caught discussing residents again will be fined one thousand."

At those words,

all the guards fell silent.

Just then,

a voice came from outside.

"A delivery for the owner of Villa 66 has arrived!"

Manager Wang walked out and looked at the seven or eight large boxes. "Did Mr. Lin buy these?"

"Yes."

The courier nodded. "Will you deliver them, or should I?"

"We'll deliver them."

Manager Wang said.

This was also a rule of Jinshan Villa District. All food deliveries and packages were delivered to residents by the security and property management staff.

It seems Mr. Lin really is Elder Qin's relative.

Manager Wang thought to himself.

These packages had clearly been purchased before today.

And before today, the delivery address had already been filled in as Villa 66 in Jinshan Villa District... Without a doubt, Mr. Lin had long known that he would be moving in.

Otherwise, would all these purchases not have ended up beyond his reach?

Under such circumstances, Mr. Lin and Elder Qin must have been very close.

Half an hour later,

the seven or eight large boxes were delivered into Villa 66.

Su Yuan opened the boxes one by one and arranged the various ganoderma and old ginseng around him.

Then he took a deep breath.

Cultivation began.
