Chapter 300 Magical House Upgrade
After a long day of toiling in the mountains, my legs felt heavy as lead, and every step was a struggle. Finally descending the mountain and returning home, I was so exhausted I didn't even have the energy to invite Lillian over. So, we agreed to rest up tonight and recharge our batteries, then go out for a stroll together tomorrow afternoon when we were fresher.
As we parted ways, I brought a few large, plump grapefruits from home and handed them to Lillian. Their golden skins exuded a delicate fragrance that was truly mouth-watering. Seeing Lillian happily accept the grapefruits filled me with contentment.
Afterward, I dragged myself home exhausted. I placed my belongings in the hallway outside the window, including succulents and some dirt-covered items. I didn't bring them into the house because I was worried they would stain the floor or furniture. After all, after a day of tossing and turning, I didn't have the energy to clean anymore.
First, carefully wrap a damp paper towel around the succulent's rhizome. Alas, there's no way I can plant these lovely succulents today! I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. The thought of going up the mountain is such a strenuous endeavor, and I'll definitely be exhausted when I get back, too exhausted to even have the energy to cook. So, while I was making fried noodles this morning, I specially prepared some extra delicious side dishes. This way, I can easily make a delicious shrimp fried rice tonight. Mmm... just thinking about it makes my mouth water!
Soon, night fell, and my stomach began to growl. I walked into the kitchen, skillfully wielding my spatula and stir-frying the pre-prepared side dishes with the tender shrimp. Soon, a plate of delicious shrimp fried rice was ready! I brought the steaming hot fried rice to the table and devoured it. The plump rice grains were packed with delicious flavor, and every bite was incredibly satisfying!
After devouring my meal in a flash, I felt a wave of fatigue wash over me. After a short rest, I headed to the bathroom for a relaxing hot shower. The warm water washed over me, seemingly washing away the day's fatigue and worries. Afterward, I changed into soft, comfortable pajamas, climbed into my cozy bed, closed my eyes, and drifted off to sweet sleep. Thus ended a wonderful day, and I looked forward to another vibrant and energetic start tomorrow!
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the slits in the curtains, gently shone onto my face. As the wall clock struck 9:, I slowly opened my eyes, my consciousness gradually emerging from sleep. I reached for my phone, which lay beside my pillow, and gently pressed the power button. The screen instantly lit up.
One very satisfying change since my last phone system upgrade is that weird situation no longer occurs—no matter where I put my phone, my online purchases appear right where I left it. Now, not only can I pinpoint the delivery address, allowing me to choose a different delivery location based on my needs, making shopping more convenient and secure, but even more surprising is that after this upgrade, my phone has successfully connected to my optical computer! This means that online purchases will now be directly deducted from my StarCoins, so I no longer have to worry about insufficient bank account balance preventing me from enjoying my shopping.
I recall how, before going to bed last night, I impulsively ordered a ton of exquisite pots, all specially made for my beloved succulents. I had originally planned to buy some more special succulents from Blue Star, but then I thought, if these succulents don't exist in the interstellar world, I'd have a hard time explaining the origins of these plants if anyone discovered them. After careful consideration, I decided to give up the idea of buying any more Blue Star succulents.
Early in the morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains onto my bed. I slowly opened my eyes, stretched, and climbed out of the warm covers. Yawning, I walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door. Immediately, I saw the dumplings I'd made at home a while ago. They were neatly stacked in a plastic container, emitting an enticing aroma.
I took out a few dumplings and put them in the microwave. Soon, the steaming, thin-skinned, and generously stuffed dumplings were ready! A gentle bite and the delicious broth instantly spread throughout my mouth, leaving me with an unforgettable aftertaste. After finishing the dumplings, I poured myself a glass of ice-cold juice and gulped it down, feeling instantly refreshed.
Then, I enthusiastically started the highlight of the day - planting succulents. Although I didn't buy any rare succulent varieties from Blue Star this time, I was lucky enough to have purchased high-quality planting soil in advance, which made up for some of my minor regrets.
I carefully removed the succulent plant from its pot, gently shaking off any excess soil from the roots. Then, using a small shovel, I dug a suitable hole in the new pot, placed the succulent plant in it, and filled it with soil, compacting it firmly. Just like that, each lovely succulent plant found its new home in my hands. The entire planting process took a full hour and a half. By the time the last pot was planted, my back and waist ached from exhaustion, but looking at the neatly arranged succulents before me, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
I carefully placed these newly planted succulents on a pre-prepared trellis, allowing them to fully enjoy the sun and air. Looking at these vibrant little creatures, I couldn't help but recall my spacious yard back in Blue Star. Back then, I could freely plant all kinds of flowers and vegetables, especially the climbing roses, which bloomed in brilliant colors every season, a breathtaking sight.
Thinking of this, I could no longer suppress my inner desire for a yard. So, I immediately sat down at my computer, opened my browser, and searched for houses with yards nearby. Although I still felt a strong reluctance to leave my current home, as a Chinese, my innate, deeply ingrained love for agriculture ultimately prevailed. No matter what, I was determined to fulfill this wish!
At this crucial moment, my phone suddenly rang pleasantly. I glanced over and saw the name "Lillian" displayed in large letters on the screen. I answered the call, and Lillian's clear, sweet voice filled my ears: "Hi! Honey, what are you busy with right now?" I quickly replied, "I'm looking at houses." Then, curiously, Lillian pressed, "Why are you suddenly thinking of looking for houses? Is there something wrong with your current house?" I paused, then honestly told her my thoughts and needs.
After listening to my story, Lillian's lips curled up slightly, and she chuckled, "Oh, my dear friend, you don't actually have to spend a lot of money to buy a brand new house! You can just move your fingers and easily apply for the house upgrade service on the Internet. Not only that, you can also submit your own house design drawings that you love and have carefully conceived. Then, pay the corresponding reasonable upgrade fee as required, and you can directly transform the original house into the appearance of your dreams! However, if you hope to If we further expand the actual usable area of the house on this basis, then when we upgrade, we will have to pay an additional fee for purchasing the land for use. Otherwise, you might as well think carefully about why the houses in our community are so far apart from each other? After all, isn't it because sufficient space was reserved in advance to facilitate such upgrades and renovations? "Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, my mouth unconsciously opened so wide that it seemed like it could fit a plump egg!
