Chapter 44:
The next day!
"I want to go buy a villa. You two want to come with me?" Tang Yu stood in front of Hu Tao and Silver Wolf, speaking softly as he looked at them.
Both girls showed confused expressions at the same time.
"Why buy a villa?" they asked in unison.
"Uh…" Tang Yu hesitated for a moment, but decided to be honest: "Because we'll have new partners in the future. This place won't be able to fit everyone."
"And I don't want to sleep on the floor anymore."
Hearing this, Hu Tao and Silver Wolf exchanged a glance.
Soon, they both nodded. Hu Tao spoke first: "You brought us here. Whatever you want to do, we'll support you."
Tang Yu was a little surprised. He hadn't expected Hu Tao and Silver Wolf to accept the idea of new "friends" so calmly.
This must be the system working behind the scenes.
He had to admit—the system was quite capable. At least in terms of emotions, it had given him tremendous convenience.
If the 2D female characters he purchased couldn't get along with each other, it would be worse than death for him.
After all, with so many 2D beautiful girls, Tang Yu couldn't favor one over the others. As a mature man, he naturally wanted them all equally.
"Alright, let's go look at houses." Tang Yu gave a sunny smile and took Hu Tao and Silver Wolf's hands as they headed out.
They drove to a real estate sales office.
As soon as they walked in, a beautiful saleswoman came over to greet them.
"Hello, are you here to look at properties?" The saleswoman looked at Tang Yu's trio, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.
She had naturally seen them online. They were currently very popular internet celebrities!
And it was well known that top influencers had terrifying purchasing power. If she served them well today, she might even close a sale.
That thought alone made her happy.
"Yes," Tang Yu said. Seeing the smile on the saleswoman's face, he immediately guessed she had recognized them.
He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I need a villa. Preferably a standalone one. Suburbs are fine too."
Villa?
The moment those two words came out, the saleswoman's smile grew even wider.
She bowed slightly and guided Tang Yu's trio to the seating area.
"We do have villas—several options actually. You can take a look at the materials. Feel free to ask me anything. Don't treat me like a person."
The saleswoman placed a thick stack of documents on the table and said with a smile: "Take your time looking. I'll go brew some tea for you."
As the saleswoman walked away, Hu Tao and Silver Wolf both picked up the materials to browse.
Silver Wolf pointed at one of the villas: "This three-story one looks nice, but it's in a villa community. A standalone would be better."
Hu Tao gave a devilish smile at that moment. She looked at Tang Yu and said: "Yeah, if we're buying, let's go for a standalone one. That way it's more convenient."
Tang Yu's mouth twitched. He naturally understood what Hu Tao meant.
Most villas in the city were in gated communities. If other residents passed by and discovered a bunch of 2D beautiful girls living inside, they might report it.
Then, the crime of "group licentiousness" would be impossible to wash away.
"Alright, then let's look at standalone villas," Tang Yu nodded and said.
In the end, they filtered down to five standalone villas.
All of them shared one characteristic: they were huge. Almost taking up an entire mountain.
However, the prices of these villas made Tang Yu suck in a cold breath.
Among them, a standalone villa occupying 2 mu (≈1.32 acres) was priced at 50 million yuan.
And those over 5 mu were even priced in the hundreds of millions.
"A bit expensive!" Hu Tao looked at the prices and stuck out her tongue. "How many coffins would we have to sell to afford this?!"
Tang Yu: "...."
Silver Wolf: "..."
Both were a little speechless.
If they relied on selling coffins, they probably wouldn't be able to afford this kind of villa in a lifetime.
"Sister, although it's a bit expensive, with our current earning speed, we can definitely afford it," Silver Wolf mentally calculated for a moment. She felt that while villas were pricey, the three of them could handle it. It would just require installment payments.
"Yes, but that would put very heavy repayment pressure on us. Our current profession is still just wild streamers—our income isn't stable," Tang Yu analyzed: "So I think we should look for something cheaper."
Cheaper?
Hu Tao and Silver Wolf exchanged a glance. They pointed at the cheapest standalone villa in the stack: "Isn't this the cheapest?"
Tang Yu gave a mysterious smile: "Of course not. The cheapest ones aren't on display."
While they were talking, the beautiful saleswoman returned carrying a pot of tea.
She sat across from Tang Yu's trio and poured them each a cup.
While pouring, the saleswoman glanced at the materials in Hu Tao and Silver Wolf's hands. The corner of her mouth rose slightly: "You two ladies, standalone villas are very suitable for your identities."
"As influencers, living in a higher-end place, a bit farther from the city center, has many benefits."
Hu Tao and Silver Wolf nodded, feeling the saleswoman made sense.
Tang Yu saw this and felt it was dangerous.
If he let the saleswoman keep praising, Hu Tao and Silver Wolf might decide to buy on the spot.
He quickly interrupted: "These are nice, but they're all too expensive."
The saleswoman's smile didn't fade. She said: "Not expensive at all! You can pay in installments. The discounts are…"
Tang Yu raised his hand to stop her, staring into her eyes and asking seriously: "Do you have any haunted houses here?"
The moment those words came out, the saleswoman's smile froze on her face.
