Lin Shan, seated before his computer, stretched with a big yawn.
He glanced at the time in the lower right corner, realizing it was past lunchtime.
His stomach also sent a clear signal to Lin Shan!
“Time to eat first!”
Since being forced to “go home for self-reflection”, Lin Shan's life had become more and more comfortable!
He no longer had to wake up early every morning, and even his health had improved.
He no longer suffered from constant back pain and his appetite had increased!
Everything tasted delicious!
For Lin Shan, the most crucial factor influencing his well-being was his mood!
With a better mood, his body and appetite naturally improved!
After cleaning up his clothes, Lin Shan left the urban village.
This was his last day living here.
He was about to bid farewell to the low-rent apartment where he had lived for three years.
Lin Shan felt no sadness at all.
Not a hint of nostalgia!
After all, he had long grown tired of this nomadic life!
He changed into a fresh set of clothes,
and used a ride-hailing app to call a car.
Although the distance wasn't far, Lin Shan, accustomed to taking the bus, wanted to try riding a cab for a change.
Arriving at the most bustling shopping center in the city,
Lin Shan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this grand and luxurious building.
It had been three years since he last stepped foot in this mall, despite living in this city for three years!
Stepping into the first-floor lobby, Lin Shan was greeted by a dazzling array of goods.
Even during the day, the lights in the lobby were incredibly bright!
“The rich really do live well!”
“Even the floor is so polished you can see your reflection clearly.”
Lin Shan walked and gazed, his eyes feasting on the countless and diverse goods.
Although Lin Shan was now a millionaire,
he came from humble beginnings and wasn't willing to spend a single extra dime on unnecessary things!
He walked to the fourth floor, where various restaurants were clustered.
Many of the signs were unfamiliar to him, he had never even seen them before, let alone eaten there!
So, today, Lin Shan decided to indulge.
He would go to the most expensive restaurant!
The one with the highest price tag!
After all, a man who had easily earned 650,000 dragon coins in the morning deserved a little treat!
Furthermore, what pleased Lin Shan most was not just the massive amount of dragon coins he had earned!
But the fact that he had found a new “target” for himself!
The targets Lin Shan was talking about were, of course, the NPCs that the master thief was about to target!
“Auction Messenger!” “Auction Keeper!”
These two NPCs that Lin Shan had set his sights on undoubtedly had plenty of loot!
I’d better do a thorough, careful search of them!
After all, it's hard for the single-person keeper NPC to not embezzle from the goods they are entrusted with!
And the biggest nemesis of these fat-cat NPCs was Lin Shan, who could use the Master Thief skill!
Just like many corrupt officials who wouldn't dare report to the “hat-wearing uncle” even if their own money was stolen, the same logic applies here!
After all, it's all ill-gotten gains. Losing some is no big deal!
If they reported it to the “hat-wearing uncle” and were investigated, that would be losing the entire melon for a single sesame seed!
As Lin Shan walked and looked, he stopped in front of a lavishly decorated Western restaurant.
“Good day, sir. We specialize in the most authentic French cuisine, and our wine selection is unparalleled,”
“Please come in and enjoy a taste!”
The hostess, dressed in a black uniform,
appeared not only dignified but also exceptionally charming!
Lin Shan, who had never tried Western food before, decided to give French cuisine a go!
So, under the guidance of the lady in black, he sat down.
While the menu was written in Chinese characters,
the names were unfamiliar to Lin Shan.
A large portion of the menu was in English,
which gave Lin Shan some trouble.
After all, his job after graduation only required brute strength,
not a high level of education.
His years of English learning had long since vanished!
But when Lin Shan saw the prices on the menu,
he was genuinely surprised.
Was the most “French” aspect of their French cuisine the “French” pricing?
Since he was already here, he had to try it. After all, Lin Shan was no longer concerned about money!
After enjoying a lavish lunch, Lin Shan got a taste of what French foie gras, Bordeaux wine, and medium-rare steak were all about!
Originally, Lin Shan intended to continue browsing the luxurious mall,
but the real estate agent and the moving company had already called him.
“Mr. Lin, I'll send someone to your doorstep immediately. Are you home?”
“I'll be home soon! Give me 10 minutes!”
Lin Shan didn't have much luggage or furniture to move, only his clothes, computer, and everyday necessities.
After all, it was a free service provided by the real estate agency, so why not take advantage of it!
Three hours later,
Lin Shan stood at the entrance of his new home!
A picturesque private estate stood a stylish, yet modern, villa, surrounded by lush greenery.
A clear stream flowed in front of the villa, and the manicured lawn by the stream resembled a green carpet.
Lin Shan had never been to such an upscale villa district before.
Seeing all this, “satisfied” was an understatement; only “amazed” could describe his feelings!
Stepping into the villa, he was greeted by a spacious and bright living room.
The high ceilings, combined with elegant chandeliers, created a luxurious yet warm atmosphere.
Custom-made sofas were placed in the center of the living room, and the walls were adorned with several famous paintings, adding a touch of artistic charm to the entire house.
In addition, it was equipped with a gym, swimming pool, cinema, and other entertainment facilities!
The entire villa, from inside to outside, reflected a pursuit of the highest quality of life!
It felt like a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city!
Lin Shan, who was in a state of constant shock, thought to himself,
“This is truly effortless!”
“The rich really do live this luxuriously!”
This was even more lavish than what he saw on TV.
After all, the annual rent of over 200,000 was not paid in vain.
After everything was settled, Lin Shan officially moved out of the “urban village” and into the “villa district”!
From the purgatory of mankind, he had jumped directly into the paradise of mankind!
So, today, Lin Shan decided to give himself a day off!
He would enjoy life and get to know his new home better!
As for *Dream Westward Journey*, he wasn't going to log in today!
After all, only with adequate rest can one work better!
