Baal couldn't be bothered to respond to her master's words.
It was just that this apartment was small, leaving her with nothing to do. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't stand in front of him and let him pester her constantly.
But...
She had never disliked Kaito; she was just a bit troubled by his pursuit.
Actually, no.
It should be more accurate to say she was shy, because she had never been in love before, and coupled with their short time together, she had no psychological preparation at all...
Fortunately, Kaito only used words, at most a few small gestures, but he still respected her to a certain extent.
For example, that look in his eyes that clearly wanted to devour her, but upon hearing that he needed her sister's approval, Kaito restrained himself instead.
This was enough to make Baal admire him, and at the same time, she was very happy inside.
This showed that she held a high position in his heart.
"Oh right, Master, there were a few more cards just now, right? Besides the pressure ability you took back, what else was there?"
Baal changed the subject, also curious about the cards Kaito had obtained from the mysterious power.
"Oh, one is a card that can plunder a target's abilities, but it's only A-rank."
"A-rank?"
"It's a kind of rank classification for abilities. For example, the ability I got is S-rank, and this plunder card is one rank lower."
"I see. And what else?"
'What else?'
Kaito casually pulled one of the cards from the golden ripples.
He couldn't use that A-rank plunder card right now, so he'd just store it there.
But the remaining two cards could be used immediately.
"This one is an enhancement card that can strengthen a specific part of the body. Depending on the area, it can enhance it 1-5 times."
So, Kaito without hesitation used it.
"Damn, five times strength!!"
The next moment, he suddenly felt even more energetic, his whole body filled with power as if equipped with a turbo engine!
Originally, having integrated the Geo Archon Rex Lapis's ability, his body had already been transformed to an extremely strong level, including his internal organs.
Now, enhancing that particular area five times on top of its existing strength?
He's invincible!
"???"
Baal, seeing the gleam in Kaito's eyes, suddenly panicked a little.
'Which part did he enhance, and why did he suddenly turn to look at me excitedly!?'
"M-Master?"
"Baal, your future happiness will be guaranteed, I promise!"
"!!!"
'Aaaaah!!'
'What should I do, what should I do! It seems I understood something!'
'Is this something I'm supposed to hear!?'
"M-Master! Isn't there one more card? What is that one!?"
Just to be safe, Baal changed the subject again, afraid of knowing too much.
"Uh... that last one."
Thinking of that card, Kaito's expression became strange.
This was the lowest-ranked card in his ten-draw. This card could make the author of a specified book add an extra update tomorrow.
And it said on it that after use, if within the period, readers throw a large number of power stones, the author would be locked in a small dark room and forced to update more fiercely than a donkey from a production team.
'Hiss...'
'This card is great!'
'Without a second word, he picked up his phone, opened the Webnovel app, searched for "Accidentally Joined the MILFs' Chat Group", and used the card without hesitation.
"Alright, Baal, let's tidy up. We're moving soon!"
"Huh? Moving?"
"Hehe, yes. We're about to move into a mansion!"
Pulling out the red booklet, Kaito started searching for relatively luxurious villas in Shanghai on his phone.
But unexpectedly, none of these villas satisfied him?
Was he getting too cocky, or had his taste improved?
A few days ago, he envied these villas within the city, but now looking at them—
Cramped, low, courtyards practically non-existent, completely unable to stretch out, and surrounded by commercial buildings...
Remembering that phone cameras could now be used as telescopes gave Kaito the creeps.
What about the suburbs?
They were much more spacious, very luxurious, and exuded the smell of money inside and out.
"Baal, do you think this wedding house of ours looks good?"
"...Master, there you go again. This house looks quite good, but I feel it lacks vitality."
"Is that so? What about this one?"
European style indeed had that feeling, but the new Chinese style was very popular recently and should be quite good.
"This one is not bad, it's just..."
Unexpectedly, Baal was a bit picky, having her own opinions on each villa.
So, the two of them sat down like a married couple and began carefully selecting their future home.
Kaito wonders which lucky property would ultimately benefit him.
An hour later, after continuous searching, Kaito finally found a suitable place.
It was a villa area by Dingshan Lake (fictional) on the edge of Shanghai.
The location was in Taohuayuan Village (fictional), which had been requisitioned twenty years ago and transformed into a vast, ultra-luxurious suburb.
Surrounded by mountains and water, including the expansive Dingshan Lake.
By the lake, there were 9 pure Suzhou-style garden houses.
The centermost one of these 9 Suzhou-style gardens occupied 3.88 acres. The house was built right on the edge of the lakeshore. The back garden offered direct views of the lake, and one could even park a boat at the edge for sightseeing on the lake.
The price was now hyped to 388 million, and the original owner urgently needed cash to turn over his company in the USA, hence selling this property.
It hadn't been lived in since purchased twenty years ago, but was regularly maintained by hired help. The trees planted inside had not only thrived long ago, but some were even not allowed to be transplanted, classified as intangible cultural heritage.
So asking for 388 million was a conscience price; originally it would cost at least 600 million! Not just selling the house, but also the trees planted inside, the furniture made from precious wood, etc.
Speaking of which, if he hadn't sold it, Kaito might have overlooked this property, or overlooked the villas in this area.
Opening the information for this company, he understood.
It was a wealthy expatriate, no longer a Chinese citizen, who even engaged in the egregious behavior of selling products at low prices abroad and sky-high prices domestically.
"Hehe, then I'll gladly accept your house for free!"
"Since you've never lived in it, right? As for the money, well, you'll figure something out~"
