Chapter 32

Modern times.

Jiangcheng City.

Inside a twenty-square-meter rental room.

Gu Shanhe was staring at the virtual screen in front of him, which displayed the system settlement information.

【This video gained a total of 800,000 points of emotion value.】

【Deducting the 50 years of lifespan redeemed for Zheng Chenggong, emotion value decreased by: 500,000 points.】

【Current emotion value balance: 700,000 + 300,000 = 1,000,000 points.】

【Congratulations to the host, emotion value has exceeded 1,000,000!】

【Obtained reward: Seaside Mansion Villa No. 1.】

Gu Shanhe stood up abruptly from his chair.

"Villa?!"

He rubbed his eyes to confirm he hadn't misread.

"Seaside Mansion Villa No. 1? Isn't that the most famous luxury property in Jiangcheng?!"

He hurriedly opened his phone to search.

He didn't know until he searched, and he was shocked when he did.

Seaside Mansion Villa No. 1 is located by the most beautiful beach in Jiangcheng, with a total area of 1,600 square meters, featuring a private garden, swimming pool, underground garage, and three floors, with all kinds of entertainment facilities fully equipped.

Most importantly, this villa is the king of properties, worth 300 million, and it is priceless, simply impossible to buy.

"Three hundred million..."

Gu Shanhe took a deep breath.

He looked at his twenty-square-meter rental room, then looked at the picture of the luxury villa on his phone.

"Move! Move immediately!"

Three hours later.

Gu Shanhe stood at the entrance of Seaside Mansion Villa No. 1, looking at the luxury building in front of him, still a bit dazed.

The villa was even bigger than he had imagined.

White exterior walls, large floor-to-ceiling windows, a meticulously maintained garden in front of the door, and a swimming pool in the center of the garden with crystal-clear water.

"Mr. Gu, hello!"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked up quickly.

"I am Manager Liu of Seaside Mansion, responsible for the daily management of this villa. If you have any matters in the future, you can come to me at any time."

Gu Shanhe nodded: "Okay, sorry for the trouble."

Manager Liu laughed: "No trouble at all, it is our honor for Mr. Gu to move into our Seaside Mansion."

He handed Gu Shanhe a business card.

"This is my contact information, online 24 hours a day. If Mr. Gu has any needs, contact me at any time."

Both sides added each other on WeChat.

Manager Liu briefly introduced the situation of the villa and then tactfully left.

Gu Shanhe walked into the villa.

The first-floor living room alone was two hundred square meters, decorated magnificently but not appearing tacky.

Leather sofas, crystal chandeliers, marble floors, everything exuded refinement.

The kitchen had an open design, with all kinds of kitchenware fully equipped, and fresh ingredients were even prepared in the refrigerator.

The second and third floors each had five bedrooms, for a total of ten bedrooms.

The two master bedrooms were super large, with their own walk-in closets and bathrooms, and the bathrooms had huge bathtubs; taking a bath would definitely be very comfortable.

The eight secondary bedrooms were also not small, enough to entertain guests.

The basement was a garage, which could park twelve cars.

Gu Shanhe's Rolls-Royce Ghost parked inside looked empty.

"Need to buy a few more cars."

Gu Shanhe thought to himself.

The villa also had an audio-visual room, a gym, a wine cellar, and a study.

The audio-visual room had a top-tier sound system; watching movies would definitely be great.

The equipment in the gym was also complete; he could exercise every day in the future.

The wine cellar already had some red wine; although not top-tier famous estates, it was still good wine.

The study was large, the bookshelves were empty, waiting for Gu Shanhe to fill them himself.

Gu Shanhe stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, looking at the sea view outside, his mood exceptionally comfortable.

"This is what life is."

He remembered his previous twenty-square-meter rental room, then looked at this luxury villa, and couldn't believe it.

"System, I love you so much."

He said silently in his heart.

The system did not respond, but Gu Shanhe knew the system heard him.

He took out his phone and called a moving truck.

Although the villa had everything, he still wanted to move some things from the rental room over.

It wasn't that those things were valuable, but they had commemorative significance.

For example, the old book he brought from his hometown, the first laptop he bought in college...

These things, although not worth much, had great significance to him.

The moving truck arrived quickly.

Three workers moved the things from Gu Shanhe's rental room onto the truck, and Gu Shanhe gave them eight hundred yuan.

Then, Gu Shanhe found the landlady, Sister Wang, and returned the house.

Sister Wang was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, a very good person.

Gu Shanhe had previously owed a month's rent, and she hadn't kicked him out.

"Little Wang, moving out already?"

Sister Wang was a bit reluctant.

Gu Shanhe laughed: "Yeah, found a new place."

Sister Wang returned the remaining 1,800 yuan of rent to Gu Shanhe.

Gu Shanhe didn't take it.

"Sister Wang, keep the money. I owed a month's rent before, and you didn't kick me out; this money is to thank you."

Sister Wang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You child, why be so polite."

But Gu Shanhe insisted on not taking it and turned to leave.

Sister Wang looked at his back and shook her head: "This child has made something of himself."

Returning to the villa, it was already evening.

The sun was setting, and the sea surface was shimmering with golden light.

Gu Shanhe stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time.

Then, he turned and went to the kitchen.

He had gone to the supermarket today and bought a pile of ingredients.

Lobster, hairy crabs, oysters, abalone, and some high-end fruits and vegetables.

It cost a total of ten thousand yuan.

This amount of money didn't mean much to Gu Shanhe now.

He still had over three million in cash, plus shares in the five-star hotel Liuguang Pavilion, which could pay out over fifty million every year.

Let alone ten thousand yuan, even if he ate ten thousand yuan every day, he could afford it.

Gu Shanhe tied on an apron and started cooking.

His cooking skills were not bad; although not comparable to a master chef, making a few home-cooked dishes was no problem.

Steamed lobster, stir-fried hairy crabs with ginger and scallions, grilled oysters with garlic, braised abalone.

Then stir-fry two green vegetables and cut a plate of fruit.

One person, six dishes, a bit much, but Gu Shanhe didn't care.

He poured a glass of red wine and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, eating while looking at the sea view.

The sunset gradually sank into the sea level, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed orange-red.

The sea breeze blew in, carrying a faint salty taste.

Gu Shanhe suddenly remembered when he first came to Jiangcheng.

At that time, he had just come from the countryside, with only a few hundred yuan on him, renting a ten-square-meter partitioned room without even a window.

He worked during the day and made videos at night, often staying up until three or four in the morning.

At that time, his biggest dream was to be able to buy a house of his own in Jiangcheng, even if it was only forty square meters.

Now, he had it.

Not only did he have it, but it was also a villa worth 300 million.

"Life, oh life."

Gu Shanhe sighed with emotion and took a sip of red wine.

After eating, Gu Shanhe cleaned up the dishes and went to the study.

He opened his computer and logged into the video platform.

The comment section had already exploded.

"Holy crap, Zheng Chenggong! My idol!"

"Recovered Taiwan, national hero!"

"That scene of him scratching his face before he died was too heartbreaking, I cried."

"Merits outweigh faults, Zheng Chenggong deserves this ranking!"

"Looking forward to the next one! Which hero will it be?"

"Big Boss Gu Shanhe is awesome! This voice-over commentary is so immersive!"

"That scene of the Dutch surrendering made my blood boil!"

"Taiwan has been Chinese territory since ancient times! This was said so well!"

"Fifty years of lifespan! Zheng Chenggong made a huge profit!"

"Big Boss, I want fifty years of lifespan too!"

"Don't even think about it, you have to get on the list first."

Gu Shanhe laughed.

He flipped through the comments and found that most of them were positive.

Occasionally there were a few nitpickers saying things like "Zheng Chenggong also had faults," "He monopolized trade and harmed the people," but they were quickly retorted by other netizens.

"No one is perfect, as long as merits outweigh faults."

"Which hero doesn't have faults? The key is to look at the overall contribution."

"If you can do it, you go."

Gu Shanhe ignored those nitpickers.

He knew that any historical figure had controversy and it was impossible to satisfy everyone.

But the achievement of Zheng Chenggong recovering Taiwan was an iron-clad fact that no one could deny.
