ARBW Chapter 49

Chapter 49

The next day, Pei Yuhuai did not go to work. Recently, his eldest nephew had started working at his company. The young man was first following Secretary Zhang, trying his hand at managing small tasks. After a period of learning, he would be able to assist Pei Yuhuai with his work.

The boy had some talent, but he wasn’t particularly keen on focusing his efforts on making money.

Previously, he had been unwilling to strive for success, believing that their family had his uncle to rely on.

But now that his uncle was getting married, and the family’s business was growing larger and more complex, he had no choice but to settle down and come back to help.

Not only that, but a niece who had been abroad was also returning. This girl was even more outstanding than the other children in the family, and Pei Yuhuai had the intention of taking her under his wing to nurture her.

With the help of his nephews and nieces in the future, he would have much less burden at the company, allowing him more time to spend with Lin Mian.

In the morning, Pei Yuhuai took Lin Mian out to look at houses. Pei Yuhuai’s idea was to buy a new property to serve as their marital home after they got married.

However, Lin Mian felt that there was no need to buy a new house. The place where Mr. Pei currently lived was quite nice, and his own house also looked beautiful.

He knew that Mr. Pei owned many properties, so he wanted to visit those houses and choose one he liked to serve as their marital home.

Lin Mian disliked extravagance and waste. Before meeting Pei Yuhuai, he had lived a very difficult life. Even though he knew Mr. Pei was wealthy, he didn’t want to live too lavishly.

Seeing this, Pei Yuhuai had no choice but to take him to visit the properties one by one.

They didn’t need to walk much, as they traveled by car most of the time, only stepping out when they entered the neighborhoods.

Pei Yuhuai showed him three houses: one across the river, one halfway up the western mountain, and one in the bustling district.

After looking around, Lin Mian finally chose the one in the bustling district.

Lin Mian said, “This one is good. It’s lively here with lots of people. In the future, when we live here, it’ll be convenient whether we’re going shopping or just having fun.”

In truth, Pei Yuhuai never did his own shopping, but seeing Lin Mian’s eager expression, he didn’t want to dampen his spirits.

Fine, as long as Lin Mian liked it, it didn’t matter where they lived.

The house in the bustling district was next to a commercial street, and across from it was a large park.

The area had all the amenities, making it a popular spot for young people to eat, drink, and have fun.

Seeing that Lin Mian genuinely liked it, Pei Yuhuai decided to make this their marital home.

The house was already furnished, but since Pei Yuhuai hadn’t had time to live there, it had remained mostly unused.

Now that it was to become their marital home, he felt it should be renovated.

Lin Mian walked around inside but shook his head at Pei Yuhuai, saying, “No need, it’s already quite good. We don’t need to renovate. We can just replace the sofa, bed, curtains, and things like that.”

He thought the current decor was already very nice, and there was no need to renovate specifically for the wedding.

Moreover, he didn’t know much about interior design and didn’t have a preferred style in mind.

No new house, no renovation.

Pei Yuhuai then transferred all the money he had set aside for the house and renovation to Lin Mian.

He didn’t know what Lin Mian liked, so he wanted to give him full control.

This way, with money in hand, Lin Mian could decide how to make changes and what to buy.

Lin Mian was quite happy about this. He enjoyed adding things to their home.

In the afternoon, they didn’t go out again. Instead, they arranged for Lin Mian to meet with a few tutors.

Xiao Su had selected three people: two men and one woman.

Each of them specialized in different areas: one in science, one in humanities, and one in art.

All three were to stay, and they were offered high salaries.

They would coordinate with Lin Mian’s schedule and arrange lessons for him.

The three teachers covered a wide range of subjects, but Pei Yuhuai didn’t set high expectations for Lin Mian. He wanted Lin Mian to learn about these things but didn’t require him to master them. As long as Lin Mian had some understanding, Pei Yuhuai felt it was enough.

It was precisely because of Pei Yuhuai’s attitude that Lin Mian didn’t feel too much pressure and wasn’t overly anxious about his studies.

Over the following period, Lin Mian would teleport over every now and then. Pei Yuhuai didn’t accompany him every day, as he spent most of his time studying.

Typically, he would study for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Since the schedule was relatively relaxed, Lin Mian didn’t find it too exhausting.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

By this time, the construction of the town’s walls, which Pei Yuhuai had arranged, was finally completed.

Pei Yuhuai logged in to check on the town and saw that the entire town was now enclosed by walls. He then organized the construction team to build additional houses.

The town now had seven buildings, all two-story houses.

These seven buildings could accommodate everyone in the town, so they no longer had to live in the crowded conditions of the past.

However, over the past month, many people had come to seek refuge with Pei Yuhuai. With the addition of these newcomers, the town’s housing was still somewhat insufficient.

Yes, in the past month, quite a few people had arrived.

Most of them were Lower Class People, but there were also some Nobles from the Inner City.

In addition to these newcomers, the town had also been attacked twice.

During the first attack, Pei Yuhuai wasn’t online. The townspeople and the Mutants worked together to repel the intruders.

During the second attack, Pei Yuhuai was online, and Lin Mian was also in the town. They led the robots and killed all the intruders.

Seeing that everyone was gradually gaining the ability to protect themselves, Lin Mian felt a bit more at ease. Even if he were to leave one day, they should be able to survive on their own.

The town’s walls were built very high, with electric wires installed on top. Including the walls and the wires, the total height was about nine meters.

At this height, it was impossible for ordinary people to climb over. Unless they were Mutants with the Ability to fly, it would be difficult for anyone to sneak in.

The town’s walls had two gates: one at the front and one at the back. The front gate was guarded by patrol robots, while the back gate was guarded by three Mutant beasts.

On ordinary days, the townspeople could only enter and exit through the front gate.

The back gate was usually locked and only opened under special circumstances.

On this day, after logging in, Pei Yuhuai received a new main quest.

This time, the main quest required him to occupy a new town.

This new town was similar to Scarlet Town, a town game treated as a BT game by the Inner City Nobles.

A new red area appeared on the system map, and Pei Yuhuai decided to go and check it out himself.

So, as soon as he logged in, he informed Lin Mian about it and then set off for the target town.

The new town was called “Liuxiang Town,” located in the Inner City.

Using a teleportation device, Pei Yuhuai directly entered the Inner City and headed straight for Liuxiang Town.

He arrived during the day, so when he reached the town’s entrance, many people immediately noticed him.

The Guardians guarding the town raised their guns and aimed at him from a distance, loudly warning him.

“Warning! Do not take another step forward, or we will shoot.”

Pei Yuhuai ignored them and continued striding forward.
