Chapter 46: The Self-Saving of Yae Shenzi (Part 2)
Facts have proved that Ouyang was worried too much.
When he handed the card to the staff and revealed that the card was held by the fox.
The clerk in charge of the lottery didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even the people who were also crowded at the counter even "explained" to him in a friendly way.
"Sir, I didn't expect you to come up with such an idea."
"Damn it, are you another die-hard fan of Miss Xina? You can think of such a way, it's really irritating!"
"Let's go, I'll go back and hold my pet for the lottery! I must get Miss Xina's signed poster!"
Is this a cultural difference?
Ouyang listened and looked at the words of the people, and was surprised that no one on the other side objected to foxes or pets participating in the lottery.
Ouyang said he didn't understand, but was shocked.
What's even more amazing is that I actually won the prize...
Just when Ouyang thought he would not win the lottery, he was about to take Shen He away.
Kuroda came to the counter in surprise with the card in hand. He held the card high in one hand and supported the counter with the other. He shouted with an exaggerated expression on his face that made Ouyang frown.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency! You won the special prize!
!”
"Special Prize!
!”
Oops!
!
The three words "Special Prize" are like a ripple spreading outward, with Ouyang as the center of the circle.
The people crowded here let out various exclamations of unknown meaning while collectively taking a step back.
The counter of Yaedo Hall, which was originally crowded, was strangely left open.
The crowd immediately became excited!
“Aren’t you so lucky?!”
"Yes, not long after the lottery started, the special prize was taken away. Isn't this incredible?!"
"Ah, why does he seem to be shining with light? Is this the lucky child?!"
But when Ouyang looked at the special prize card, his face showed no trace of the joy he felt after winning.
He ignored the excited Inazuma people, but asked Kuroda in front of him seriously: "This card is held by this fox. Although I don't know how she did it, but it's true."
Is that okay?”
It doesn't matter whether he wins or not, the main thing is that Ouyang doesn't want to cause trouble because of this matter.
Unfortunately, it seems that Daozuma and Liyue do have cultural differences. Kuroda made it clear to Ouyang's inquiry: "Your Excellency, you are overly worried. There is no problem."
Damn, does that mean I really won the prize?!
Ouyang looked at the little fox that had run into Shen He's arms and saw that she was waving her tail proudly and smiling at him.
The screen flips.
When the time came to afternoon, Ouyang and Shen He stood in front of the gate of this building called Sky Villa.
This is the deep part of the town street, and further in, after crossing the wooden bridge, is the castle tower.
The so-called Sky Villa, in Ouyang's opinion, should be said to be a "dangerous building".
The villa is not high, with a total of two floors.
But the cleverness of the design is that only a small part of the west side of the villa is against the mountain, and most of the rest is suspended outside the cliff.
It gives people a very unreliable feeling.
Kuroda opened the door of the villa, turned around and said: "You two, please come with me."
Then, after Ouyang and the two entered, he followed and introduced: "This villa was built by our top designer Mr. Kido in Inazuma for five years. It did not use traditional window designs, but boldly used them."
The large area of glass allows for an extremely broad field of vision.”
"We are now in the courtyard of the villa. The plants here are all transplanted from various places in Inazuma, and a lot of effort was put into creating them."
Listening to Kuroda's explanation, Ouyang and Shen He turned around.
Overall, Ouyang is quite satisfied.
Because most of the front is made of glass, the view is very good.
To the east is the ocean, and you can watch the sunrise by opening the curtains in the morning.
The water source is sourced from local materials, and due to the topography, the designers in the yard creatively laid out a platform to allow the water to flow along the platform and slide towards the east ocean.
Forming a small waterfall.
The green plants and rocks in the yard and nearby cleverly isolate the villa from the town street.
It is a low-key design that Ouyang likes.
As for decoration and furniture materials and styles, Ouyang doesn't care.
Anyway, in terms of layout and area, compared with the Guifu in Liyue Port, it is far behind.
Just so-so.
After reading the whole thing, he turned to look at Shen He: "Do you like it?"
"Yeah, pretty good." Shen He nodded.
Seeing Shen He nod, Ouyang knew what to do.
After introducing everything including the furniture and facilities of the house, Kuroda was ready to hand over the key to the door lock.
He smiled and said to Ouyang: "Congratulations again, Your Excellency, you and your friends can stay in this villa for free for one month from now on. This is the key to the courtyard door."
With that said, Kuroda handed over a bunch of keys.
But Ouyang did not reach out to take it, but asked instead: "Mr. Kuroda, does the property right of this villa belong to you Yaedo?"
"Why do you ask that?" Kuroda looked at Ouyang strangely and explained, "The ownership of this villa is in the hands of the Palace Secretary of Narukami Taisha Shrine. Why do you ask?"
"One month's stay is too short." Ouyang said seriously, "I want to buy it."
ha?!
Kuroda's eyes widened when he heard this, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Your Excellency..." Kuroda opened his mouth, tried very hard and restrained to organize his words before continuing, "...that's it, I personally don't recommend you to buy it. Because the design is very clever.
, so the monthly maintenance costs for this villa are very high..."
"Moura's problem is not a problem for me." Kuroda continued to explain eloquently, but Ouyang directly blocked him, "You should talk about some problems that Moura can't solve. I will make a decision after listening to it."
"This...isn't...this...sigh..."
Kuroda, who tried hard to speak, was blocked and unable to speak a complete sentence.
Kuroda, who is still one year shy of turning thirty this year, had a cognitive bias in Ouyang's words - are Liyue people so rich?
After a while, Kuroda finally recovered.
He took a deep breath and said to Ouyang seriously: "Your Excellency Ouyang, if you really want to buy this villa, please allow me to go back and write a report."
"I can't be in charge of such a big thing."
This kind of asset, which is at least hundreds of millions, is naturally not something that a small shop owner of a store affiliated to a shrine can decide.
He must ask the shrine to come down and talk in person.
Seeing this, Ouyang did not embarrass the other party: "Well, I will go to meet your God of Thunder tomorrow. How about we talk about it then?"
"...Okay, Mr. Ouyang can talk about it himself."
Seeing Ouyang's persistence, Kuroda gave up telling him the difference between gods and shrines.
It’s not bad anyway.
If the gods really agree, the shrine will most likely not be able to object.
It's all over.
After finally handing over the key, Kuroda bowed his head and walked out.
Ouyang and Shen He were the only two people left in the entire villa.
Looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, Shen He asked curiously: "Have you really decided to buy them?"
"Well, didn't you say you like it?" Ouyang replied with a smile.
"But it shouldn't be cheap. It would be better if I could stay here longer. But if I buy it, I think it's still too expensive."
Ouyang held Shen He in his arms and said confidently: "Don't worry, Maura's problem is not a problem."
As he said that, he looked at the little fox lying down in the house and continued: "And I think it might not be too expensive."
Why is he looking at me like that?
Shenzi, who was lying on the floor, looked at Ouyang who was looking at him in the yard with some doubts, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
There's no way... I've been discovered even though I've been so secretive, right?
