Chapter 41: Settling Down
“What do you think of this one?” a man in suit asked. He was standing beside Lu Zhiyu and his face was filled with a bright smile.
Lu Zhiyu inspected the villa before him carefully and walked around its huge yard. It was a townhouse in Kensington, London, and it was over three hundred square meters in size. The villa had six floors including the basement and was very secure because Kensington was filled with many rich people. The public transport around the house was also very convenient. In addition, there were plenty of facilities around the house.
After inspecting, Lu Zhiyu found out that most parts of the house were painted white with great attention to details. It had the elegance of European designs, and the furnishings inside were also very modernized. Moreover, the yard was huge and one could sunbathe or play in it to relax.
“I’ll take it,” he said with a nod. “How much?”The man’s smile immediately became more friendly. “The house originally costs nine million and three hundred thousand pounds, but since Ms. Sharp recommended you here, and the owner of this house is a friend of Mr. Sharp, you only need to pay nine million!”
Lu Zhiyu calculated and found out that it cost around eighty million yuan. He knew it was a very expensive villa, but he really liked it. Moreover, he was not so concerned with money anymore. He had just won ten million dollars in Vegas, and he could use that money for this home.
“Okay, I’ll buy it” Lu Zhiyu nodded. “When can I move in?”
“Anytime that is good for you, of course,” the agent said, bowing. “It is fully furnished and ready for its new owner. If you need any services, you can contact me as well. I’ll settle everything for you!”
Being rich really was great. Lu Zhiyu could get anything he wanted at any time. After spending nine million pounds, he became the owner of the villa. He sat down on the couch in the living room and looked around. Sunlight came into the living room through a large window. The living room was combined with the second floor, so the room looked very high and spacious. At the center of the room, there was a staircase leading to the second floor.
Over the fireplace was a taxidermied deer head. In addition, there were many abstract paintings and embedded bookshelves on the walls, giving the room a unique taste. Lu Zhiyu had not even sat down for long when the doorbell rang. He looked in that direction and saw Zoe Sharp standing in front of her car. She was wearing a black dress and looked graceful and charming. Lu Zhiyu walked over and welcomed her into his house.
When Lu Zhiyu was traveling throughout the world, he had his sub-brain record down all the common languages in the language section. With the hints from his sub-brain, Lu Zhiyu had managed to learn those languages very quickly. “How did you know I chose this place? It seems like that agent is the spy you have placed here!”Zoe said at once, “I’m here to give you the information you need. I asked a shipyard, and these are the models they provide. Take a look.”
Lu Zhiyu thanked her and took the folder. He did not have many friends here, so without her, it would be very hard for him to get everything he needed.
Even though Zoe was interested in Lu Zhiyu, she was not the passionate type of woman. Furthermore, she had some background and was probably a troublemaker. Lu Zhiyu did not want to be tangled up with someone like her. Therefore, he kept his distance with her all the time. He quickly showed her the rooms, and the two only had a brief conversation before Zoe left.
“This one is too small!”
“Not this one.”
“This one looks decent enough.”
Because the mind power and deified blood Lu Zhiyu could use at the moment were too little, he had decided to go in another direction to find out the characteristics of deified creatures. First, he wanted to see if he could do something to change the soul of the Tree of Life into a deified creature.
Because such creatures were too dangerous, and the space inside the dimensional castle was too small, Lu Zhiyu decided to do his experiments on the seas in Maria’s World. However, he needed a yacht so that it would be easier for him to go out to the sea and carry out his experiments. Clearly, he could not keep using his mind power to sustain himself on the sea, carry out experiments, and at the same time observe the creatures closely!
Apart from that, Lu Zhiyu also used another identity to order a set of professional medical equipment from Paul’s Medical Equipment.
Previously, Lu Zhiyu had run through quite a lot of such equipment so he had chosen the cheapest supplies possible. However, this time, Lu Zhiyu planned to use only the best equipment available. He also talked with some people on the internet on how to build hibernation chambers and nutrition chambers. These things would be very useful in experiments involving changing and combining different live specimens, and they were also essential for Lu Zhiyu himself.
He was not one hundred percent certain whether he would succeed in building these chambers or not. At the moment, he had ordered some materials from Paul’s Medical Equipment and several other companies, and would soon try to build them.
The hardest things to make were actually the nutrient and restoration fluids. Of course, he already had plenty of those on hand. When he was changing his own body, he had considered about similar problems. After all, during both modifications to his body, he had used nutrient fluids. Hence, Lu Zhiyu was quite confident that he would be able to build the seemingly high-tech nutrition and hibernation chambers.
He had already confirmed his order, but the items still needed time to be delivered. He felt that the logistics overseas was not as developed and timely as his own country. While waiting for the medical supplies, he decided to look at which yacht he would buy first.
It was not simple to purchase a yacht as there were many procedures. After Lu Zhiyu made his order, the factory would still need to spend time making the yacht perfect. After that, he would need to obtain a certificate of competency to actually operate the yacht and a place in the harbor to park the yacht.
More importantly, after browsing through the information he had just received from Zoe, he realized that most of the yachts were not actually ready for sale. From ordering to actually getting the yacht, Lu Zhiyu had to wait for half a year to one year. He really did not have that much time to wait!
“Forget it, if I have time to go through so much trouble, I might as well choose one at the pier and steal it. Anyway, I’m not going to operate it in this world!”
Lu Zhiyu finally decided to go to the seaside and choose one that he liked. However, because he did not know much about ships and also how to actually sail a yacht, he decided to do some research on the internet first.
Lu Zhiyu read about the descriptions of various yachts, as well as the precautions during saling. Looking at yachts of different models and sizes, and many other details about sailing, Lu Zhiyu realized that it was all quite complicated and was not something he could understand fully by reading a single book. In particular, some of the bigger yachts could not even be operated by just one person.
As Lu Zhiyu surfed the internet, his interest suddenly peaked when he saw something accidentally. At the instant he saw it, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Wow! This looks amazing. It’ll be fantastic if I can get it!”
Lu Zhiyu enlarged the image with his mouse. On his screen, there was a picture of a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with the USA flag on it. Lu Zhiyu felt that this was the king of the seas and all men would want to possess it!
However, if he really stole this, the whole world would be stirred up. He lay his chin on his hand and thought carefully about whether he should do it. Even if he could not operate the carrier, it would still make a great base and laboratory on the sea. In the meantime, he could examine the carrier as he was very curious about such things, not to mention that it was nuclear-powered.
Should I do it? he thought.
