Chrome placed Altyria in the car and closed the door. He turned to Dylan, pointed to Yilan, and then got into his car. Before he closed the door, he said, “I’m going to go shopping with Altie. You guys can head back to the office.”
Yilan and Dylan watched as his car drove off.
Dylan sighed, “After sister joined the team, Boss started slacking off.”
Yilan rolled her eyes. “His workload is considered normal now. Before, he was working like a workaholic. You’re the one who should stop slacking off. You haven’t even destroyed or sealed a single spirit yet, not to mention coming into contact with one.”
Yilan walked to her red sports car and sat in the driver’s seat.
“Okay, okay. Then let’s go spirit hunting instead of going back to the office. I can’t stand paperwork at the moment.” Dylan sighed as he got into Yilan’s car. “Well, where are we going to hunt?”
Yilan placed her hands on the steering wheel as she thought. Spirits generally appeared in dark places, but they have also appeared in crowded places as well.
“Let’s try Sunset Village. Maybe there will be harmful flower or bug spirits there.” Yilan started the engine and drove off to their destination.
On Chrome’s side, Altyria sat curled up in her seat.
Chrome glanced at her and said, “Is the seat comfortable? If not we can get a cushion or something.”
[It’s pretty comfortable.] Thinking that they were going to go shopping, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
[I will be living with you, right? Is your house simply decorated like your office as well?]
“Pretty much. I live in an apartment complex at a high-end area. I don’t have much in the apartment, so I will be relying on you to decorate it.” Chrome smiled at her.
Altyria was dazzled by his smile even though she had seen it several times. For some reason, her heart started beating faster, causing her to look away.
[What do you have in the apartment? I don’t want to choose something you already have.]
Chrome reached out with one hand and rubbed her head gently. “Let’s stop by the apartment first. Then, we can make a list of what we need to buy.”
Chrome made a U-turn and headed towards Tianhua Apartment Complex. After driving for 20 minutes, they arrived at the outer gate where the security guard was. The guard was familiar with Chrome, so as soon as he saw Chrome’s car, he opened the gates.
As Chrome slowly passed by, he nodded to the guard and continued driving to the parking lot.
Chrome picked up Altyria, along with her 2 desserts, and locked the car. He walked to the elevator and pressed the ‘8’ button.
[You live on the top floor?]
“I bought the whole floor and renovated it. I got rid of some walls, so the rooms are larger. Well, basically there is a total of 1 master bedroom, 4 bedrooms, 1 large study, 2 bathrooms, 2 restrooms, and 1 storage room. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all connected, so the area is very open and spacious.”
Altyria opened her eyes wide. [Wow, your apartment is really big! Wouldn’t that mean we have to buy a lot?]
“We can buy what we need first and buy the rest next time. You don’t have to worry about money, either. I am yours. That also includes all my properties, salary, and money in the bank.”
Altyria blushed and buried her head in his arms causing Chrome to chuckle. The elevator door opened and Chrome walked to the door while pulling out his keys. Altyria jumped down from his arms and ran inside after the door was opened.
Inside the apartment, Altyria saw white walls without any decorations. The number of furniture could be counted on all claws on her four paws. She looked through each room and saw that it was mostly empty. The master bedroom had a large bed and closet. The study room had a large desk, bookcase, and a laptop. The living room had a black couch, and the dining area had a medium-sized table with 2 chairs. The kitchen was basically empty.
Her mouth twitched. She could tell that he never cooked at home. Well, at least he had a refrigerator.
Chrome walked to the kitchen and placed her desserts in the refrigerator. He went to the study and grabbed a notepad and pen.
“You look around and see what we need to buy, and I’ll write them down.”
Altyria started naming some items, which included some daily necessities. She walked to each room again to check what was needed. After 15 minutes, the list was written up, and Altyria was done inspecting the rooms.
Suddenly, Altyria remembered that they would go to the next world after they finish the task.
[Chrome, wouldn’t buying these things be meaningless since we would be going to the next world later?]
Chrome ripped the paper off of the notepad and said, “We don’t know for sure how long it would take to complete it. It doesn’t hurt to buy these things. I’m not lacking money either. If you want, I can put them in the space and bring it with us to the next world.”
Altyria was surprised. [We can bring them with us?]
“Yeah, my space is an exception of the system and the space is gigantic. You can think of it as a cheat.”
[Oh, cool! Then, let’s buy a lot and put it in the space. If there are better stuff in another world, we can just sell it off or gift it to people.]
