"Alright. Let's search for a villa to buy. Jasper and Sheila, since you're the best in searching information. Do you want to try?" Allan suggested.
"To be honest. I wanna start cultivating right away since we're already behind. But I understand the priority of this task. Leave it to me." Jasper said. "Sheila go cultivate. I'll search for a villa right away."
Sheila only nodded and began cultivating. In her mind she was thinking about her encounter with Allan in game. "No wonder he wanted me to refine the monsters instead of travelling. He was already preparing for cultivating in real life."
Soon everyone was sitting in the couch and cultivating slowly. Jasper was the only one working. Allan was the fastest of them all and he had already broken through with three elements around noon.
Sheila also opened her eyes and went to the kitchen to cook lunch. She liked to cook and since everyone was staying at her house she felt like cooking for everyone.
Allan approached Jasper and began discussing about the latter findings.
"So what did you find?" Allan asked Jasper.
"I found some options but there is something we still need to discuss with everyone. There is a place that sells three villas with a common park in the middle and it even has a small lake in the park. I think this will fit us perfectly since we will be able have some privacy and still have a common area for training. But the price is quite high, we can afford it but it'll leave us without any income."
"How much?"
"Five million each villa."
"This, let's wait everyone finish their cultivation before discussing it. You said that there were other options, what are they?"
"There are some large villas that can easily accommodate us but they're quite small and we'll lose some privacy."
"Hmm to be honest, I think the three villas options are the best ones for now." Allan said. Then he called everyone out and forced them to stop cultivating.
"Hey, there is this place that is perfect for us but it's very expensive. Five million each villa." Then Allan and Jasper proceeded to explain about it.
"I'll be honest, this is the best option for us. But the price may be quite high for now. But I'm sure we will make it back really fast by playing Parallel Online. So what are your opinions."
"Sasha and I can afford it to be honest, it's sounds like a plan for us." Keith said. He made quite a good money from streaming and videos online.
"It'll squeeze us dry. I'm not sure if this is the right move for us at the moment." Said Jasper.
"Don't worry about money in the near future. I'll support you guys until we start making a profit." Said Allan.
"Are you sure?" Said Jasper.
"Of course, after all I still have many items to sell from the other games. And I have a lot of money saved anyways. Make an offer on those villas and tell them we're paying upfront."
"Sure, right away." Jasper said. Soon they finished lunching and Jasper got a reply from the real state broker. "It's on. Let's go there for a visit and pay it already. This is too good for us to waste any time."
"I want to cultivate more. I'm almost breaking through." Said Keith.
"You'll have plenty of time later, let's make sure we can buy these villas first." Allan said.
Soon they all arrived on the real state agency. The procedure was quite easy. They firmed the contract and paid for the villas right away.
"When you have money, stuff like this is easy right. Remember how annoying it was to buy our apartments before?" Tory sighed.
"Yeah, when you have the money, they'll make things easier for us. Which makes me think, let's tell them if they want to manage our apartment rent. This will be another source of income to help us transition."
So they talked with the brokers if they're interested in managing the rent of their apartments. Soon everyone had done the same and these brokers would help them with managing the rent.
"Let's go back and pack our stuff right away, I want to settle down as soon as possible so we can already play the game there." Allan said in a weird tone, as if he was implying something.
"Sure, let's do it right away." Everyone else said. They were eager to start cultivating right away. By evening everyone had finished moving. Since the villas were already furnished, they didn't need to take any furniture, only their clothes and some keepsakes.
Everyone went to the park in the middle when they finished settling down and began cultivating near the lake. The first one to do that was Allan since he had a keen sense to spiritual energy since he had been cultivating for longer than the others. He felt that the energy around the lake was dense. At least more dense than their previous apartments.
"Wow, I can feel I can cultivate faster in here. This was indeed the best place we could've bought. I was kind of regretting moving out before, but now I'm definitely not." Keith said.
"Hurry up and cultivate already, or the others are gonna leave you in the dust." Said Sasha.
"Aye aye." Keith sat down and began cultivating as well. When it was 7:30 PM and alarm sounded, this was to allow people to stop cultivating and begin preparing to log into the game.
"How are your progress, everyone satisfied?"
"Of course, I managed to reach rank two in wood element and I'm almost catching up in water element." Said Sheila.
"I managed to break through for Fire and Metal." Said Keith.
"I'm rank two in both wood and fire." Said tory.
"I'm almost breaking through to metal and my fire is already rank one." Said Jasper.
"I'm already level two in both wood and metal as well." Said Sasha.
"That's very good progress everyone." Said Allan.
"What about you Allan, what is your level now?" Asked Sasha. She was annoyed about how everyone was sharing voluntarily but Allan just complimented them.
"I'm rank two in fire and wood." Allan said nonchalantly. He didn't want to reveal that he was already rank one in the other elements in order not to incur their jealousy.
