In the study of the residence near Xihu in Lin'an, Wang Yan stroked the cat that was purring comfortably with its eyes closed on the desk, looking at the void in front of him.

Wang Yan

Attributes: Strength 25

Agility 25

Constitution 25

Spirit 78

Unallocated points 5

The previous five attribute points were added to Spirit in "In the World of Men," and this task completion rewarded another five points, which is not bad.

Skills are just like that; medical skills have improved slightly, and there is no progress or regression in other aspects. It's still because he doesn't have main attack skills, but as the saying goes, he doesn't have skills that particularly need to be main attacks, and maybe he will only have the mind to play with them when he has a whim and nothing to do.

After roughly looking through it, he closed the panel, stood up and stretched his muscles with a big lazy stretch, which made the cat a bit dissatisfied. It lay on the table, raised its head, and meowed at the "poop scooper" to express its unhappiness.

Rubbing its little head, Wang Yan picked up the water cup on the table, drank some water, went to the living room, walked to the window, and looked at the night view.

The yellow halo from the streetlights illuminated the fine drizzle falling obliquely. It is already June, and this drizzle adds a touch of coolness to the midsummer in the south; the weather tomorrow morning should be very good.

After emptying his brain, he still didn't sleep, returned to the study, sat in front of the computer, sorted out his thoughts, and continued his endless career...

Early in the morning, seeing the rain clearing outside, he changed into sportswear, tied the dog that had long since accepted its fate and was consciously waiting at the door, and one person and one dog strolled downstairs.

The elevator going down stopped at a middle floor, and an old man with his hands behind his back swayed in. Seeing Wang Yan, he nodded with a smile: "Going out for a run again? There aren't many young people as diligent as you now, sigh..."

"Hey, Old Grandpa Zhang, I'm just raising an ancestor; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get up."

"That's true, you really can't not walk this dog."

This old man has been retired for several years and is really idle every day. It's just the common problem of some elderly people: without considering objective conditions, they deny young people today, which is not very pleasant to hear. And most young people who hear this kind of statement basically won't argue with them, just smile and let it pass, but in their hearts, they will give this kind of old person a kind name, "Old B*stard"...

Wang Yan naturally wouldn't haggle with the old man, just dealt with it casually. The elevator speed was very fast, and after a few words, they reached the first floor. He nodded politely to the old man and left running, holding the dog.

The air after the rain always has the fragrance of mud and green leaves. There are many people who cherish this good time of the day, and there are many people who get up early. Especially as a well-known tourist attraction, tourists are always energetic despite their fatigue, so Xihu, a place famous far and near, is a happy thing to stroll around in the fresh and cool morning.

Wang Yan held the dog, let it poop and pee, and after cleaning it up, tried to avoid the dense crowd and ran along the road to Nanshan. When they reached a place with few people, regardless of uphill or downhill, the dog stuck out its tongue and ran wildly on four legs, its long brown hair messy and undulating, its big ears flapping up and down, and the owner holding the dog leash didn't fall behind either, his two legs moving tightly, calling it a lightning speed...

The beautiful morning passed, and Wang Yan returned home with the dog, whose tongue was sticking out and looked like it was dying. First, he wiped the dog's four feet to avoid creating more work while walking in the room, then washed his hands and started making breakfast every day.

Toast, fried eggs, paired with ham and vegetables, etc., making sandwiches, and finally squeezing banana milk, breakfast was ready.

He didn't wake up Wei Lan, because today is Saturday and there is no need to work overtime. There are very few things that bring more happiness to ordinary people than waking up naturally after working for a week on a Saturday.

So after adding water and feeding the cat and dog, he sat at the dining table and browsed the news on his mobile phone; it was breakfast for one...

When Wei Lan came out wearing small shorts, showing off her big white legs, the loose vest vaguely outlining the contours not included under the clothes, rubbing her soft, light brown long hair with sleepy eyes, it was already past ten o'clock.

Leaning at the door of the study, looking at the man in her eyes who was typing away, she leaned against the door frame and posed, thinking she was charming: "Morning, honey."

Her intention was ultimately misplaced, because that man didn't even turn his head: "Breakfast is on the dining table."

"Oh."

Wei Lan pouted, turned around, drank white water first, then went to the dining table, picked up a sandwich, swayed while eating, and went to the study, sat on the armrest of the chair, and looked at the characters flashing rapidly on the computer.

"Resting today, you aren't planning to type all day at home, are you?"

"Going shopping?"

"Good." Wei Lan agreed cleanly: "Go out in the afternoon, cut a video first... or do you want to make an appearance?"

"Still make an appearance, can't I just get on the car?" Wang Yan shook his head, but his hand closed the text interface. He picked up Wei Lan's notebook from the side and started to get busy: "Haven't looked at it for a while, how many followers are there now?"

"Wait for me to take my phone and see." As she spoke, Wei Lan ran back to the bedroom, took her phone, ran back, and sat down, browsing her phone while eating: "There are more than 300,000, you are still the amazing one. Ever since I started editing and matching copy according to what you taught me two months ago, it's much stronger than the few tens of thousands of followers I got after tinkering for half a year before. You say you are too, if you had this hand earlier, why didn't you say so earlier? Just watching me tinker there, annoying..."

"I really couldn't watch it anymore; you were still complacent with those few people, and that was because those two little things, the cat and dog, were indeed three-tenths cute. Pointing the camera at the dog's nose, it would be strange if you could get popular."

"Annoying, you are the amazing one, hurry up and cut it, everyone is waiting for the update."

Wang Yan operated the accumulated materials on the computer and said: "Might need your help to advertise in a few days."

"Hmm? What kind of advertisement?"

"Ma Zichen developed a software for randomly selecting restaurants when he was idle before. I thought this was quite interesting; now office workers have difficulty eating, choosing back and forth not knowing what to eat, so this can be considered a choice. It should have some market after development, so I let them tinker with it. Started doing it last month, and I estimate it will be about done this month. When the time comes, use your Douyin to promote it."

"Random selection... what are the functions?"

Wang Yan operated while roughly saying the software functions: "I estimate that although it can't make a lot of money, it definitely won't lose money."

"I think so too. If it's really as amazing as you say, maybe it will get popular. By then, Meituan, Ele. me, maybe they will even acquire it. By then, you, Wang Yan, will leap to become a millionaire, an internet newcomer, a darling of the era, covered in thousands of honors, parents proud of you, and I will be proud to have a man like you."

It's all intelligent analysis, all kinds of fancy things like pushing according to preferences, involving intelligence, and there's even a cultivation aspect inside. Who can refuse to cultivate a software that knows what they like to eat and matches it reasonably according to a certain degree of nutrition?

Listening to Wei Lan's weird flattery, Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, his face full of smugness: "Still need that? Aren't my Body-Strengthening Pills selling well?"

"Hey, speaking of this, how is it now?"

"How about we go look at houses in the afternoon?"

Wei Lan opened her big eyes, unable to believe it: "Can buy a house? So fast?"

"Didn't I tell you before? In a few months, no matter what, I have to buy a house this year. Of course, it's definitely not enough now, but it doesn't delay looking at houses first, right?"

"Or should we go back to your home and buy it for your parents? Really. I said before, it's fine if there's no house; you know about my parents. Your parents are not young anymore, and the old house you live in is on the fifth floor without an elevator; how inconvenient it is to go up and down. And I looked before, the housing price there is only five or six thousand yuan; even if you buy a hundred square meters, you are so capable of earning money now, it will come out in two months. What do you think?"

"Yo, really a good daughter-in-law, even more filial than me, the son." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, hugging her: "I naturally know what you mean, but for this house, you can not want it, but I cannot not buy it. If I really couldn't earn it, that would be one thing, after all, houses are indeed not cheap, and if I can't afford it, there's no way; don't say you don't care, even if you do care, what can you do if you can't afford it? Our situation now is that I earn hundreds of thousands a month, and I have the ability to buy, so I must buy.

As for my parents, I also remember it, but that will wait until the New Year this year; by then, we will go back and handle this matter. There is definitely money, and as for time, it's not bad for half a year, it's all in time."

"Alright then, listen to you." Wei Lan nodded and pondered: "Then... look at houses in the afternoon?"

"Look, you first browse on the internet; haven't you been looking at houses via VR for a long time? Look first to see if there is anything you like, and then we will go and look at it on the spot."

"You go over there, I'll look at it on your computer here."

Wei Lan also got motivated; since things were said so clearly and so confidently, it would be wrong for her to be coy. Immediately, she ate the sandwich in two bites, then ran out, drank the milk in one gulp to smooth it out, drove Wang Yan, who was cutting the video, to the side, operated the computer directly, and opened the website that Wang Yan used to work on when he sold houses. While asking about Wang Yan's thoughts, she flipped back and forth, not forgetting to share chattering.

Wang Yan's requirements for the house are not high; after all, he has lived in good and bad ones, and as long as the price is within his ability, he doesn't care. But Wei Lan can't; buying a house is spending several million, a big deal. Her family conditions are good, and it's not easy to buy a good house here in Lin'an, so she must be extremely cautious.

And his conditions are basically that he can afford to buy ordinary housing, and the range of choices is relatively large, so the time is naturally long. This is why he said he wanted to look at houses now.

The two chatted and laughed, planning the future, and what kind of house they wanted gradually became clear.

The floor should be as high as possible, a large three-bedroom apartment, preferably with a balcony, the building age should be as new as possible, the decoration should be as clean as possible, simple layout can be moved in with bags, the location should be as convenient as possible, and the total house price should be around six million.

Combining these requirements, the range of choices is still very large. Calculated according to a proper three-bedroom 120-square-meter apartment, with a unit price of 50,000 per square meter, it is also about the same to look at it casually without too many scruples.

Just like this, Wei Lan browsed houses there, Wang Yan cut videos there, the cat teased the dog that ran all morning and was lying at Wei Lan's feet pretending to be dead, this life, extremely comfortable.

It was ten o'clock when Wei Lan got up, and there wasn't much time left in the morning. The two didn't eat lunch, but after washing up in turn, at two o'clock in the afternoon, they ran out to look at houses with the agent they had made an appointment with.

During the process of looking at houses, Wei Lan was very excited. Every house she looked at was very detailed, and she had to compare it with the future picture in her mind, making a lot of records on her phone and memo. This state was basically no different from when Wang Yan entered the real estate sales industry and was taken by others to step on the market. Now, naturally, there is no feeling; after all, the experience is there, and if it were really from before, he wouldn't be much better.

After shopping until night, taking buses and online ride-hailing cars, the two agents took the two of them through several twists and turns, looked at six houses in one breath, and made an appointment to look again tomorrow, only then did they leave with peace of mind.

Waving goodbye to the two agents, Wei Lan, wearing a floral dress, followed the man who was carrying her bag and walking with his hands behind his back, strolling slowly in the evening breeze on the long street with heavy traffic, smiling beautifully: "When you sold houses before, was it like this too?"

"About the same, but they are much stronger than I was back then."

"Why? Didn't you say you could earn five, six, seven, eight thousand a month in Bincheng before?"

"Isn't this obvious? Because the houses are hard to sell now. The market wasn't as good as before when I was there; I was in a seller's market back then, and generally speaking, houses weren't hard to sell, and the cycle from listing to sale was much shorter. Now it's the opposite; it's a buyer's market. You should have an understanding of what the housing market is like now. Comparing this, isn't it a difference in mentality and attitude?"

Wei Lan pondered: "Then should we wait a bit longer? What if it gets cheaper in a while? Houses are so expensive, it's several tens of thousands back and forth."

"We are buying a house to live in, to get married, what's there to wait for?" Wang Yan reached out and hugged her shoulder: "You just look, why think so much? If I couldn't buy it, I wouldn't have mentioned it before. Since I said it, I must buy it. Let's go, let's go, find a place to eat something delicious."

"Hmm, my colleague told me about a restaurant before; don't walk, it's quite far, call a car."

The next day was also a day for looking at houses. But the difference was that on Saturday they looked at the ones near Xihu, and this time, they looked at the ones by the Qiantang River. Wei Lan said she had seen enough of Xihu, so she changed to another place to see.

Wang Yan followed her, which made Wei Lan suspect that he was unhappy and asked him to say it if he had any thoughts.

It's not Wei Lan's fault; it's just that she has taken a fancy to these houses, and the marriage hall is also one step away; she is nervous, expectant, and can't help but be afraid of an empty field, so she is a bit sensitive.

In order to take care of her, Wang Yan had to follow along, studying this and that for the future, listening to the class seriously every day when looking at houses, and after looking, he had to review it when he went back. Wei Lan even made a table, recording all the houses she had seen, and according to some dimensions she wanted to consider, she excluded one, two, and three; she was an absolute good student. When she was in school, the notes she took were definitely clear and clean.

Two days passed in this way of looking at houses and imagining the future, making an appointment with the agent to meet again next week, and the work and life of a new week began...
