31: Chapter 31 Earth-shaking Changes

"I want this bedroom...!"

Fang Ling walked up and down the clean and bright three-story building, looking at each room, which was two-thirds the size of their old home.

The Little Girl's smile never stopped as she imagined living there forever.

Finally, she chose a bedroom next to Fang Yuan's, and soon, everyone had chosen their own bedroom.

Fang Heng and Cai Lin, the newlyweds, along with Fang Long and Lin Xia, all lived on the second floor, while Fang Yuan and Fang Ling lived on the third floor.

The first floor was a spacious area of over 100 square meters, which could be used for physical training and practicing combat skills.

After selecting their rooms, the family, without stopping, followed Wang Han's instructions to a nearby small market to buy various furniture and miscellaneous items.

These small items did not need to be purchased from a large place like Nanyang Market.

The house he bought was on the easternmost side, and Nanyang Market was to the south; a round trip would take at least half a day.

Fang Yuan naturally wouldn't go all the way to Nanyang Market just to buy some furniture, given the time it would consume.

Aside from the bed, the newly bought house was completely empty.

Finally, Fang Yuan took out another 80,000 energy points to furnish all the basic furniture.

Just like that, in one day, Fang Yuan spent 980,000 energy points, leaving him with a pitiful 20,000.

Especially the house, which instantly cost 900,000.

In fact, besides the land cost, the construction of a three-story flat building probably only cost over 200,000.

Now, in a world with extraordinary powers and various rare Talents, some professionals, once their strength meets the standard, can build a house in just a few days, without even needing Materials.

It was already evening when the purchased furniture was arranged.

Lin Xia, as the mother, and Cai Lin, the new daughter-in-law, had also prepared a rich dinner for everyone at this time.

On the dining table, which was over two meters long, there was a large plate of stewed meat, grilled fish, and four meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a pot of fragrant beast bone soup.

This delicious meal cost 3,000 energy points.

To celebrate the move, Fang Yuan had repeatedly refused his mother's objections and bought so many ingredients.

Watching large sums of energy points flow out, Lin Xia's face showed a pained expression.

Over 3,000 energy points, in the past, would have been their family's food expenses for more than half a year.

Grumble!!

Before the meal even started, Fang Ling, the Little Girl, was already sitting on the last stool at the large round table, her designated spot.

The alluring aroma wafted over, making her unable to resist swallowing her saliva.

This table looked much more delicious than yesterday's meal.

Although the difference in cost between the two meals was only over 1,000 energy points, the gap in quality was significant.

There was a huge difference in food supply standards between the Inner City and the Outer City.

Residents of the Inner City either obtained food through their Talent, like Fang Yuan, or through their strength.

People with strength naturally had high demands, and all ingredients were very fresh.

In the Outer City, as long as it didn't kill people, dead fish and rotten shrimp could be sold, and the prices wouldn't be low.

The food on the bright dining table emitted a fragrance, like the whispers of a demon in her ears, making her want to reach out and grab some to put into her mouth and enjoy.

"Girl, you can't sneak a bite; you have to wait for your third brother and them."

Lin Xia, who was bringing over a plate of green vegetables, seemed to know her thoughts, and her clear voice mercilessly interrupted the Little Girl's fantasy.

Only able to look but not eat, Fang Ling could only turn around and lie blankly against the back of the stool, out of sight, out of mind.

She couldn't see it, but the alluring aroma lingered, and even sitting on the soft stool, she still felt very uncomfortable.

"Xiao Ling, dinner is about to start; go up and call your third brother down."

A few minutes later, Cai Lin brought out the last portion of fragrant beast bone soup, then turned to look at the Little Girl who was lying down, her tone gentle, like an elder sister instructing her younger sister.

Cai Lin's adaptability was strong.

Moving from the dilapidated and cramped Outer City to a spacious house in the Inner City in one day, her life had undergone a qualitative leap, and she was very satisfied with her husband, Lin Heng.

Although his strength and Talent were a bit lacking, this shortcoming seemed very minor compared to the huge improvement in their current quality of life.

"It's finally ready, okay!"

Hearing Second Sister-in-law's gentle and pleasant words, Fang Ling instantly got up from the stool, then ran up to the third floor in a few steps, knocked on the bedroom door, and called her third brother down for dinner.

"Brother, let's go down to eat."

When Fang Yuan opened the bedroom door, Fang Ling immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him down to the second floor.

When they reached the corner of the stairs, they could see Fang Long and the other three already seated at the dining table.

They hadn't started eating yet, but were waiting for the last two people.

"Third Brother...!"

"Our hero is here, Xiaoyuan, come and sit next to Mom..."

When they saw Fang Yuan, all four at the dining table spoke up, urging him to come to the table quickly.

After experiencing life in the Inner City, the four of them remembered the person who brought all this to them.

Even though Fang Yuan was their son and brother, their attitude towards him showed a little more respect.

Under their gaze, Fang Yuan sat next to his mother, and Fang Ling also sat beside him; this was still her original seat.

As the protagonist entered, Cai Lin served a portion of fragrant beast bone soup to each of the five people, and then the family of six began to enjoy their first dinner in the Inner City.

"Oh~, this fragrant beast bone soup is so delicious!"

After taking a shallow sip of the bone soup, Fang Ling's two big eyes immediately lit up, as if she had enjoyed some divine nectar.

Fang Ling smacked her lips, savoring the lingering aroma in the air.

Compared to this deliciousness, what she used to drink was just bland clear soup.

This was indeed a delicacy cooked from monster bones purchased for over 600 energy points; the milky white soup made one's appetite soar.

Although monsters possessed great power, and many were very disgusting, there were still some monsters that people could eat, even if they might be a bit unpalatable.

Among those edible monsters, there were also many mouth-watering delicacies.

For example, the soup they were drinking now was made from the bones of a monster called a Fragrant Beast.

The Fragrant Beast was currently the lowest Rank delicious monster discovered by people; the vast majority of its body was a rare delicacy.

A few bones cost over 600 energy points, which was quite expensive.

If one were to buy the best-tasting back muscle of the Fragrant Beast, it would be even more expensive, costing over 3,000 energy points per jin.

Monster-type food was expensive for a reason; these ingredients contained a lot of mild energy that could enhance one's strength.

Continuous consumption over time could not only change one's Physique but also increase a professional's energy.

Being able to improve one's strength by eating, the price of edible monster ingredients naturally soared.

Even many very unpalatable but energy-rich monster ingredients sold for exorbitant prices.

Although the Fragrant Beast tasted excellent, its Rank was too low, and the energy it contained was very little, so its price was among the cheapest of all monster ingredients.

Seeing her exaggerated reaction, the remaining five couldn't help but pick up their soup bowls and start drinking.

As the soup entered their mouths, everyone's eyes narrowed, their faces showing expressions of enjoyment.

They had never eaten such delicious food before.

Having lived in the Outer City for decades, it was only after coming to the Inner City and tasting its food that they realized what kind of life they had been living before.

Ingredients with extraordinary energy were far beyond what ordinary ingredients could compare to.

Simple cooking could produce delicious dishes.

Even a chef with excellent culinary skills might not be able to make such delicious food with ordinary ingredients.

Under the temptation of the Fragrant Beast bone soup, everyone ate very happily.

After more than half an hour, the six of them leaned comfortably against the back of their stools, one hand gently stroking their full bellies.
