228: Chapter 228: Mid-Mountain Temple 228: Chapter 228: Mid-Mountain Temple “I don’t have anything else now, so I’m going to hang up,” Zhao Guang said into the phone.
But just at that moment, Zhao Yan suddenly spoke up, “Wait, you made me forget, I still have something.”
“What is it?” Zhao Guang was a bit puzzled.
Usually, his sister didn’t have much to ask of him.
Or rather, it was usually he who had many things going on.
Zhao Guang felt somewhat confused.
“That house of yours, do you still want it?
If not, I’m going to demolish it.”
“It’s not really of use to me anymore since you found me that villa.
But just demolishing it, what do you have in mind?”
He knew his sister well.
She was very methodical and wouldn’t act on a whim, unlike himself.
Since his sister wanted to demolish the house, there definitely had to be another purpose.
“That house is too old-fashioned, both in style and structure.”
“They’re building the University City, so I plan to demolish it and rebuild several buildings there, following the student accommodation model.
I’ll use smaller units, reducing the size of each household.
I’ve calculated it; we could fit around four hundred rooms,” she explained.
You’re planning to scoop up all those students, aren’t you?”
Zhao Yan rolled her eyes, “How could that be?
It’s not just students who will live there; some parents may as well.
Moreover, University City isn’t just one university; have you not seen the plan?
It spans from kindergarten to university.”
Zhao Guang realized that this was indeed a whole city, what a grand plan.
Talking about compensation for himself was simply nonsensical.
The cost of this grand project far exceeded any revenue that could be earned from his small building; it was clearly a premeditated plan.
This just happened to be transferred over to his side because of him.
Moreover, where he was located was indeed very suitable for building a University City.
“I’ve calculated it; smaller units will allow us to lower the rent, making it easier to lease, but actually, the cost-benefit ratio is much higher.
If this is done right, just one building would bring in a very substantial income each year.”
Ultimately, his sister knew what she was doing.
This steady rent collecting scheme was what seemed the safest in her eyes.
As for things like golden gems, who knew when they might run out, or the supply chain might have issues.
If there’s a building , no matter what happens at home in the future, it’s secure income.
“Okay, do it your way, but make sure my new place is ready first,” he agreed.
Zhao Guang certainly didn’t want to find himself homeless before securing a new place to live.
After hanging up the call, Zhao Guang continued testing his Space Gate.
Through constant shuttling between two places, he had almost figured out the transportation pattern of the Space Gate.
Wherever he opened the Space Gate on one side, he would return to the exact same place.
Even if Zhao Guang wanted to change it, he couldn’t, which meant he had to be cautious about choosing future transportation spots.
But this also proved that the Space Gate was indeed much more convenient now.
Excited, Zhao Guang, not caring that it was almost midnight, rushed off to the mobile home area.
Xi Fei, groggily waking up, could hardly speak.
After celebrating all night, Zhao Guang did not get up until almost noon the next day.
Looking beside him, Xi Fei had disappeared.
Holding his back, he got up and shook his head in speechlessness.
It had been too much.
What was the point of the long ordeal he had gone through last night?
Was that kind of thing really so appealing?
Why did it feel somewhat boring each time afterward?
“It’s this old waist, truly putting you through hardship,” Zhao Guang whispered an apology in his heart.
When he got up to eat, Xi Fei had already started preparing.
“Jeana, did she go to the Beastmen again?”
“Yes, she has already left.
Jeana has been advancing very quickly lately.
Master, could you find me some Flame Type Magic Books to read?” Xi Fei cautiously asked.
“I’ll keep an eye out, but I don’t have any right now.”
Xi Fei sighed in relief, she was truly worried that Jeana might surpass her someday.
If I slowly become useless and lose my value, what then?
Although it may seem useless now, at the very least my strength is still the strongest under the master’s command.
After finishing his meal and leaving a message, Zhao Guang hurried back home.
Today was a very important day as he needed to test his new abilities to see if they could bring about rapid advancement for him.
Driving the car, Zhao Guang quickly arrived at a scenic spot nearby.
This mountainside has a temple that is said to be highly efficacious, thriving in incense burning.
With the thriving incense, the Power of Faith must also be plentiful, thus Zhao Guang chose this location.
Soon, Zhao Guang followed the crowd to the temple site.
Although it was not the tourist season, it was the weekend, so there were still quite a few people around.
From a distance, Zhao Guang could see the temple bustling with people coming and going.
The drifting smoke seemed as if there was a fire inside, giving off a heady scent.
Having paid the entrance fee and walked inside, Zhao Guang continued forward, feeling the surroundings.
“Indeed, there’s the Power of Faith, a very strong presence.”
Although he wanted to absorb it right there, Zhao Guang was also mindful of the many people around.
So, it wasn’t long before he walked out and headed behind the temple.
This place was a rocky mountain area and not a tourist spot.
Zhao Guang walked over, thought for a moment, and then lay down pretending to be asleep.
“The distance here to the Buddha statue actually brings me even closer than inside.”
While thinking, Zhao Guang began to use his Faith Extraction Technique.
This distance was already enough.
A Magic Power invisible to the ordinary eye emitted from Zhao Guang and penetrated the Buddha statue in front of him.
The next moment, a stream of the Power of Faith was extracted, spreading back to him through his spiritual power.
Not only is the faith muddled, but why is it so little?” Zhao Guang was surprised.
But in the next moment, he no longer had time to ponder these things because that Power of Faith, after passing through his Magic Model, began purifying.
A large amount of impurities was ruthlessly expelled.
If it were night, one might even see a faint glow around Zhao Guang.
Fortunately, it was daytime, and very few people looked in this direction.
However, all of a sudden, just as Zhao Guang was about to capitalize on that Power of Faith, he found his runes sticking to the orb.
It was the core of his Space Gate, and Zhao Guang’s heart immediately tightened.
Please don’t let anything go wrong; this is the very foundation of my being.
