The three of them had been loitering around for half the day, and now the sun was high in the sky.
In front of them lay a villa district, where all the houses looked the same, resembling the hemispherical homes often seen in Dragon Ball.
They walked into the sales office, where a pink-skinned alien with large ears named Tata approached them. “Excuse me, I’m Tata, an employee here. How can I help you?”
“Hello, we’re here to look at some houses,” Lucia said.
Tata put on a professional smile. “Perfect timing! We have a newly constructed batch of houses available. What type of house are you looking for?”
“Nothing too fancy, just something livable with a large area and a nice surrounding environment. That should be it,” Pica specified.
Tata was overjoyed internally: Finally, a big spender! My sales performance this month will finally go up. He smiled and said, “Please follow me.”
Tata led them to a model display area and pointed to a virtual house. “Please look here.”
“This villa has comprehensive facilities. The first floor includes a living room and kitchen. The living room is equipped with the latest 3D home theater system, and the kitchen comes with top-notch appliances. For those who love cooking, this will be a paradise.
“The second floor is primarily for bedrooms, with one master bedroom and four guest rooms, so you don’t have to worry about accommodating guests. The third floor is dedicated to entertainment, featuring the latest popular games and high-quality materials throughout.
“The entire layout was designed by Mr. Li Yang, the most famous designer in Chrono City. It’s the most stylish and elegant residence you could find.” Tata tapped the virtual villa, causing it to expand and envelop the four of them.
Tata pointed at the room’s furnishings. “Look at this. All the leather products are made from starry cloud leopard skin—sofas, chairs, etc. Look here, this bed is 3.5 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, perfect for multiple people to sleep comfortably.”
When Tata mentioned the bed, he gave Pica and the two women a knowing look, causing Selena and Lucia to blush slightly and lightly scold him.
“Now, look here.” Tata waved his hand, and the virtual villa shrank back down. “In the north, there’s a flower garden. Imagine waking up every morning to the scent of flowers. It’s simply enchanting. These flowers are the rarest, transplanted from the Flower Star.
“In the west, we have an artificial beach, allowing you to experience the seaside atmosphere in our small Chrono City.”
Selena whispered to Lucia, “It seems pretty good, with a unique layout and style.”
“But…” Lucia frowned slightly, “We’re not looking for luxury.”
“Beautiful lady, you’re mistaken. If your house lacks attractive and comfortable furniture, and instead has hard benches, what will your guests think? They would definitely say, ‘Look, they spent a fortune on such a nice house, yet it’s so poorly furnished.’ You wouldn’t want to hear that, would you? That’s why we ensure the best furnishings for our houses. The effect is more than just 1+1 being greater than 2,” Tata explained to Lucia.
Pica spoke up, “This place is very nice, but there’s one thing. If it’s not available, sorry, we won’t buy it.”
“What is it?” Tata asked.
“Do you have a training room?” Pica inquired.
“Sir, you’ve come to the right place. This house has two underground levels, each with different training facilities. Look at the first level.” Tata tapped the virtual villa again, revealing the first underground level.
“This level has various equipment like dumbbells, barbells, chest expanders, and so on. All are integrated with high technology and magic. For example, this dumbbell.” Tata lifted a dumbbell. “It has a button to adjust the weight, with a maximum of one ton. Other equipment can also adjust weights accordingly.”
Pica’s eyes lit up. “This will definitely improve my training. Do you have a gravity regulator?”
“Yes, each level has one, with a maximum adjustment of 500 times gravity. However, I’ve never seen anyone withstand 500 times gravity. Many have been crushed into paste,” Tata informed Pica.
“Excellent, really excellent. How much does it cost?” Pica asked.
Tata, seemingly anticipating the purchase, pulled out a contract. “Not much. The entire villa is three million PT.”
“Wow, Tata, you haven’t evolved at all. What’s so good about that villa?” A shrill female voice came from behind. A heavily made-up woman approached, adorned with various jewels. With every step, it seemed her makeup might fall off, and a strong fragrance mixed with body odor made one’s stomach churn.
“Tata, what are you doing? They’re my customers,” Tata said with disgust.
“Ha,” Pica was amused by the woman’s name. He whispered to Lucia and Selena, “Did you know, in my hometown, ‘Oba-san’ means old woman.”
The two women stifled their laughter, but Oba-san heard Pica’s comment. Blushing with anger, she said, “Watch your mouth, boy. Do you know who I am?”
Tata gently tugged Pica’s arm and whispered, “Sir, she’s the daughter of a mafia boss here in Chrono City.”
“Oh, is that so?” Pica responded nonchalantly. “Oba-san, I know who you are.”
“Hmph, since you know, apologize to me,” Oba-san demanded arrogantly.
“Knowing doesn’t mean I’ll apologize. Besides, your smell makes me nauseous. Mafia? Big deal. You can’t compete with my background. You should apologize to me,” Pica retorted, mimicking her haughty demeanor.
Oba-san looked Pica up and down, noting his inexpensive clothing. “Hah, with those cheap clothes, what kind of background could you possibly have?”
“Listen up…” Pica pointed at Oba-san. “My dad is Li Gang!”
