The Real Way to Cultivate in the City
Chapter 123 - 117: Interior Design Style: Karmic Fortune Style
Lin Hao’s housing fund is paid monthly by Li Chuchu.
Lin Hao always thought it was useless and wanted Li Chuchu to cash it out.
In other aspects, Li Chuchu always listened to Lin Hao’s opinions, but when it came to paying for Lin Hao’s "housing fund," Li Chuchu was quite insistent.
Her reasoning was just three sentences—
"You can’t rent forever; eventually, you’ll need to buy a house, right?"
"If you plan on getting married in the future, won’t you need a marital home?"
"Or... you could find a wife who already has a house?"
Then, Lin Hao would always concede, facing Li Chuchu’s final words and accompanying gaze.
No retort.
Simply unbeatable.
Later, considering the housing fund was only two thousand yuan per month, equivalent to two Lower Grade Spirit Stones, he stopped fretting over it.
But unexpectedly, the money in the housing fund could be used to expand the Hell of Affairs?
Let’s see how useful this housing fund actually is.
Lin Hao activated his Divine Thought, once more entering the Hell of Affairs.
Still stepping on the forum moderator...
In Lin Hao’s perception, the expansion did occur, but it was quite limited.
The expanded area wasn’t even 1 cubic meter.
Likely because there was too little money in the housing fund.
"I’ve already figured out how to expand this place."
"Good, Master."
"Sorry, stepped on you again."
"No problem, no problem."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Master."
Lin Hao returned to his room, resting his chin in thought.
How to get Li Chuchu to contribute more to his housing fund.
Before, he said no, now he says yes, there has to be a suitable excuse.
But no worries, excuses can be made tomorrow when he sees Li Chuchu. For now, he needs to research what the Hell of Affairs can do.
If it’s simply treated as a storage space, it’s not as useful as the original Vitality Stealing Secret Realm.
As Lin Hao engaged in this kind of thinking, various architectural principles of the "Eighteen Layers of Hell" and the laws embedded within floated in his Sea of Divine Thoughts.
This knowledge entered Lin Hao’s Sea of Divine Thoughts with a brutal force, causing it to churn like a storm.
The next second, Lin Hao fainted directly.
[Lin Hao decided on a renovation style for the Hell of Affairs]
...
"He’s right outside!"
When the Gluttonous Legislator appeared outside Ke Chen City, Qianqian sensed it immediately.
She prepared to leave the Li Family Manor.
Technically, the Gluttonous Legislator shouldn’t invade the Chenxi District, as this area is a Martial Artist’s territory, but...
It is the Gluttonous Legislator.
Just as Qianqian was about to avoid causing trouble for the Li Family Manor, her body froze.
"Damn it! Damn it! Old man, what have you done to my body!"
This is definitely the handiwork of the Gluttonous Legislator.
Her body could be manipulated by the Gluttonous Legislator without her knowledge.
However, Qianqian could offer no resistance. She wanted to use her power but couldn’t move it.
Qianqian felt a bit desperate.
Especially as she sensed the Gluttonous Legislator’s aura growing stronger, her sense of despair heightened.
But the Gluttonous Legislator’s aura didn’t grow strong for long; all of a sudden, Qianqian couldn’t sense his aura anymore, and the rigid feeling in her body dissipated instantly.
Before Qianqian could understand what was going on, a cute cloud appeared above her head, and without warning, this seemingly cute cloud unleashed a thunderbolt on Qianqian.
This thunderbolt seemed to have a strong purpose.
Qianqian only felt a slight numbness in her body, followed by intense pain in her abdomen, causing cold sweat to appear on her face.
Yet the pain came quickly and left quickly too.
Just like the cute cloud vanished instantly.
Qianqian looked down at her abdomen, intending to examine herself.
If someone wants to understand their health, they naturally have to view it skeptically, right?
The scene before her changed; Qianqian saw her own organs, discovering all her body’s parts were intact.
Looking toward the spot where the pain occurred...
The appendix was gone.
That odd cloud zapping me was just to remove my appendix???
And it’s "non-invasive"?
Yet somehow, after losing the appendix, Qianqian felt an indescribable ease.
It seemed as though from then on, all ties with the Gluttonous Legislator were severed.
This brought tears unconsciously to Qianqian’s eyes.
But soon, she couldn’t cry anymore, as she suddenly felt overwhelmingly hungry.
Qianqian felt so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, so hungry...
She felt a strong urge to eat.
As if an entire cow in front of her would be gulped down in one bite.
If she didn’t eat, even a person couldn’t...
No!
What’s happening!
No, I must hold back!
It’s quite normal for a girl, at night, not to eat dinner, right?
Using her own strength, Qianqian’s sudden urge to eat slowly receded.
But there was still a bit of residual...
This remnant urge to eat wasn’t as crazy as a while ago; she planned to hold out until the next day, but soon Qianqian couldn’t resist any longer.
Embarrassedly, Qianqian knocked on Li Chuchu’s room door:
"Sister Chuchu, I’m hungry."
"Huh? Qianqian, hungry? You’re growing; come on, I’ll take you to the kitchen, ah~~"
...
[Servant Disciple Qianqian acquires a new Divine Power Fragment within her body]
[Servant Disciple Qianqian is grateful for Sect Master Lin Hao’s shelter, once again opening her mind for Lin Hao to comprehend the Divine Power Fragment within her Divine Soul]
[Lin Hao obtained a "Divine Power Fragment (Perfect)"]
Yet, Lin Hao was completely unaware of the log updating.
Right now, he’s deeply passed out; within his mind, chaos reigns, filled with knife mountains and fiery seas, oil pots and blood pools, sweltering steamers, and scorching copper pillars...
These seem to be one type of renovation style.
Furthermore, someone next to him was earnestly recommending these renovations:
"Moo moo moo~ Mr. Lin, moo good.
This is our tenth-floor sample room, the ’Galloping Bull Style,’ also known as Bull Pit Hell.
The main design, renovation, and construction concept is to advocate harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, humans and animals; for such a style, we must raise some docile bulls here.
Please wait for a moment, let these bulls pass first. They charge with great force, likely to kill or crush people.
Buying a house with a housing fund loan, as long as it’s spacious enough, suits this style, and the renovation cost mainly involves raising bulls."
The person speaking wore a bull-headed mask, with a badge pinned to his chest—
I’m waiting for you in Hell.
"Brother Hao, whinny~
This is our eleventh-floor sample room, ’Parent-child Fitness Style,’ also called Stone Pressed Hell.
Look, this stone is for training arm strength, available in varying weights, this pool for breath-holding training, enhances residents’ lung capacity; exercising like this at home sets a good example for children, letting them appreciate fitness from an early age.
This renovation cost is cheaper than ’Galloping Bull Style,’ no need to raise bulls, just periodic maintenance for the steel knives on stones, oh, and changing the water, the self-cleaning system isn’t expensive now."
The speaker wore a horse-head mask, also with a badge pinned to his chest—
Don’t leave once Hell arrives.
The two representatives were persistently recommending renovation styles to Lin Hao, yet Lin Hao hadn’t made up his mind to choose one.
The reason Lin Hao hadn’t chosen wasn’t because they held those thick and huge steel chains...
Just that he didn’t find anything suitable, mainly because these styles seemed a bit "old-fashioned," not bright, contrary to Lin Hao’s aesthetic, especially:
"Haven’t you considered the need for residents to work from home in these renovations? There’s not even a desk?"
...
"Oh oh oh!"
Upon Lin Hao’s request, Mr. Hua had purchased chickens, which now crowed as the sun gradually rose.
When the first ray of dawn shone upon Lin Hao’s face, he instinctively opened his eyes.
Time to practice swordsmanship, time to practice swordsmanship...
Hiss—
His head felt a bit swollen, as if more knowledge had entered, yet seemingly not...
His Divine Thought seemed more refined, as if the connection to the Hell of Affairs had strengthened.
[Hell of Affairs has chosen a new renovation style—"Blessing Style"]
[Blessing Style:

Another update will be slightly late.
