Chapter 25: System Issues Task - Buying a House in Ode to Joy

Seeing Gan Jing's appearance, Xu Li sighed, hugged Gan Jing, and said, "You look like a normal woman today, or more precisely, like a young girl, like a girl who's been caught dating by her parents, or even more like a girl who's just started college and has a boyfriend and is showing him off to her best friends. Jiang Haokun is indeed good in many ways, but in my opinion, he's not a good match for you. And that Lu Yuan you mentioned, in my opinion, you two are more like people relying on each other for warmth, not like a real couple at all."

Gan Jing rested his head on Xu Li's shoulder, shook his head, and said, "I understand everything you're saying, but there are some things I can't control. Please stop trying to persuade me. Besides, do you really think Yang Chu is the right match for me?"

Xu Li, incredulous, straightened Gan Jing's posture and looked him straight in the eye, saying, "You wouldn't actually have feelings for that Yang Chu, would you?"

Gan Jing slapped Xu Li's hand away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Just like you said, we've only met a few times. What happened today was indeed an accident, giving me a novel feeling, but I didn't have the thoughts you're talking about."

Xu Li saw the seriousness in Gan Jing's eyes and believed what Gan Jing said.

However, Xu Li sensed another layer of meaning in Gan Jing's words. Looking at Gan Jing with amusement, she said, "Do you secretly wish for more of these kinds of surprises? Perhaps even something a little more excessive?"

Upon hearing Xu Li's words, Gan Jing was about to make a rebuttal, but Xu Li preemptively said, "There's no need to make excuses. We're best friends. If we lay things out on the table, I can cover for you. Jiang Haokun's power is not something that Yang Chu can withstand."

Gan Jing opened his mouth, remained silent for a while, and then said, "To be honest, I really don't know how to answer your question. What happened today was indeed quite novel and exciting, and I hope it can happen a few more times. As for anything more outrageous, I really haven't thought about it. But...!"

Gan Jing stopped mid-sentence.

Although Gan Jing didn't say anything, Xu Li knew about Gan Jing.

"But you would accept it if something even more outrageous happened, right?"

Gan Jing lowered his head and did not answer Xu Li's question, but judging from Gan Jing's expression, he had already given an affirmative answer.

Seeing Gan Jing's expression, Xu Li sighed and said, "If the pressure of being with Jiang Haokun is too much, then break up!"

Gan Jing shook his head and said, "My breakup with Hao Kun wasn't that simple, nor was it something I could just decide to do."

“But this can’t go on forever! Jiang Haokun is putting too much pressure on you. I’m afraid that one day you won’t be able to take it and you’ll become my patient.”

Gan Jing remained silent for a while before saying, "Let's take it one step at a time!"

After leaving Xu Li's psychological clinic, Yang Chu returned to his courtyard house.

Seeing Gan Jing's car arrive, Yang Chu reluctantly dialed Gan Jing's number.

"What's going on?"

"Is your car still with me? Do you want me to bring it to you?"

"No need, just leave it there! Once my leg is a little better, I'll need to go to your courtyard house to take various measurements. I'll just take a taxi there at most."

"Alright! Then I won't worry about the courtyard house."

"Okay! You don't need to worry about it. I'll let you know when the renovation is finished."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chu returned to the hotel.

A few more days passed, and Yang Chu suddenly received a system task.

"Ding, task issued. Please purchase a property in Joyful Ode, Grand Mansion. Reward for completing the task: 500 sign-in points. Please complete the task as soon as possible."

Yang Chu was stunned when he heard about the system's reward.

"The houses in Junyue Mansion are not cheap. My current savings are only 150 million."

"Ding, as long as you own property in Junyue Mansion, it doesn't have to be the best."

Yang Chu was speechless upon hearing the system's reply. Although the cheapest property in Junyue Mansion was only a few million, it was useless to buy it! If it were a top-floor unit, it would be quite nice to stay there occasionally and enjoy the night view, but the price left Yang Chu with little choice.

After tidying himself up, Yang Chu went outside and asked the system again, "System, when are you going to upgrade?"

"Ding, the host now has eighty-six sign-in points. When the host has one hundred sign-in points, the system can be upgraded to level two and the system shop can be opened."

"If I get 500 sign-in points this time, will the system upgrade?"

"Ding, yes!"

Upon hearing that completing this mission would unlock the system shop, Yang Chu couldn't help but speed up the car.

This time, Yang Chu didn't go through an agent, but went directly to the Joyful Song real estate sales office.

After the salesperson finished their presentation, Yang Chu asked directly, "Are there any rooms left in Building 19 of Ode to Joy?"

After checking, the salesperson said, "Yes! Unit 0702 on the 7th floor of Building 19, Unit 1302 on the 13th floor, Unit 1803 on the 18th floor (west side), Unit 2301 on the 23rd floor (east side), and the 24th and 25th floors are all whole floors. These units are still for sale."

Yang Chu nodded and said, "Let's go take a look at the apartment on the 23rd floor."

Yang Chu followed the salesperson and soon arrived at apartment 2301 in building 19. After looking around, Yang Chu nodded and said, "Okay, this is the one! Where do I pay?"

"Sir, are you buying the house with cash?"

Yang Chu nodded and said, "That's right! There are still three parking spaces left."

The salesperson frowned and said, "Sir, each household can only buy a maximum of two parking spaces. I have no authority to decide on any more."

"Let's go, let's find someone who can make the decision to talk to."

Yang Chu soon returned to the sales office, where the sales staff spoke with their manager about the three parking spaces.

When the sales manager heard that Yang Chu wanted to buy three parking spaces, he frowned slightly, but still looked at Yang Chu and said, "If you want to buy one more parking space, that's also possible, but it will cost 10% more."

Yang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! But I hope that even if my parking space is empty, no one else will occupy it."

The sales manager frowned and said, "Sir, I can't guarantee that."

"If you can't guarantee it, why would I buy so many parking spaces? I might as well just park in any empty space I see."

The sales manager, somewhat helplessly, said, "How about this, sir? We can install a parking lock for you. Would that be alright?"

Seeing the sales manager's expression, Yang Chu knew he didn't have any good ideas either, so he had no choice but to nod and agree to the sales manager's suggestion.
