Protagonist:
Lu Feng
Lu Feng stared at the neighborhood names flashing past before his eyes, his heart surging with excitement.
Over the past few days he had done his homework thoroughly; he had looked up information online on every upscale neighborhood in Jiangcheng's urban area.
He knew the surrounding environment, architectural style, interior decoration, park facilities, and housing prices of those upscale neighborhoods inside and out.
As far as he knew, the best neighborhood in Jiangcheng was Jinshui Li Du, which consisted entirely of detached villas priced at several million each — a place ordinary people wouldn't even dare dream of.
Ranked after Jinshui Li Du was Longyuan Garden, where there were also detached villas.
However, according to the information he had found, the residents of Longyuan Garden were all big shots; ordinary people didn't even have the qualification to buy there.
Lu Feng silently prayed in his heart, hoping the system would give him a boost and let him draw Jinshui Li Du.
The names flashing before his eyes gradually slowed, and the moment the name Jinshui Li Du appeared, Lu Feng couldn't help but get excited.
It's really Jinshui Li Du?
System, I love you to death!
Before Lu Feng could cheer out loud, unexpectedly the name Jinshui Li Du before his eyes suddenly flickered, then changed into another name.
Yunding Huating.
【Ding! Mission reward has been issued.】
【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining Yunding Huating No. 8 Courtyard.】
【House-related certificates have been registered; the Host may move in at any time.】
Lu Feng's mood at this moment was like riding a roller coaster, plummeting from the peak.
He was just that tiny bit away from a top-tier villa district.
But he was only slightly disappointed for a moment, then quickly adjusted his mindset.
Anyway, this house was obtained without spending a single penny of his own; it was already very good.
The system itself said the reward was a high-end property; Yunding Huating shouldn't be too bad either.
One must know contentment to be happy.
Lu Feng looked at the rewarded neighborhood name again, feeling it was somewhat unfamiliar.
In the upscale neighborhood data he had searched online these past few days, there didn't seem to be this name.
Lu Feng took out his mobile phone, entered the name Yunding Huating online, but surprisingly couldn't find any information on this neighborhood.
He couldn't help but feel a bit doubtful: does Jiangcheng really have this neighborhood?
He opened the mobile map and searched; fortunately, Jiangcheng did have such a place, about ten kilometers from Food Street.
Could it be a newly built neighborhood?
Carrying his doubts, Lu Feng decided to wait until after breakfast, then go conduct an on-site inspection.
Yesterday he had already told Hu Daye in advance to deliver vegetables again next Monday; Lu Feng steamed three steamers of xiaolongbao for himself, hurriedly finished eating, then locked up the shop and prepared to set off.
Reaching the roadside, Lu Feng waved to hail a taxi; after getting in, he stated the destination: "Driver, please go to Yunding Huating."
"Yunding Huating?" The driver froze for a moment, couldn't help but size up Lu Feng through the rearview mirror, but didn't say anything further, started the car, made a U-turn, and drove forward.
The car drove steadily along the road; the driver kept glancing at Lu Feng the whole way, and finally asked curiously, "Young brother, do you work at Yunding Huating? What do you do there?"
"Oh, no, I live there." Lu Feng smiled and replied.
"What?" The driver seemed surprised upon hearing this, couldn't help but twist his head to look at Lu Feng.
"Driver big bro, big bro! Look ahead! Red light!" Seeing the driver turn his head, Lu Feng's face showed terror; he pointed forward and shouted loudly.
The intersection ahead still showed a red light; this driver didn't even slow down, just twisted his head to look at himself; fortunately there were no other cars ahead, but the taxi was about to run the red light.
Screech!
The driver snapped back to attention, hurriedly turned to look forward, and slammed on the brakes; the taxi jerked to a stop at the intersection.
Lu Feng only felt his body lurch forward violently, then get held back by the seatbelt.
Fortunately he had habitually fastened his seatbelt after getting in the car; that was the only reason he wasn't thrown out.
The driver big bro was also badly frightened; his face turned a bit pale, he slumped over the steering wheel panting two breaths, and wiped the cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Sorry about that, young brother, I spaced out!" The driver big bro let out a breath, turned his head and apologized with a smile.
"It's fine, big bro, please don't get distracted while driving, drive slower, I'm not in a hurry." Lu Feng swallowed, his right hand involuntarily gripping the handle above the car door tighter.
He had just obtained the system's reward of a high-end property and hadn't even seen what it looked like yet; he really didn't want to meet his end here in such a muddled way.
Fortunately, after that the taxi driver didn't space out again; he was silent and few of words the whole way, didn't chat with Lu Feng, and just concentrated on driving.
Lu Feng also got some peace and quiet; he turned his head toward the window to admire the street scenery along the road.
The car drove on for a while longer; Lu Feng noticed the traffic outside the window becoming sparser, and the buildings on both sides of the road also grew sparse.
Lu Feng had never been to this area before; it felt a bit like the suburbs.
He couldn't help but mutter inwardly: this godforsaken place — would there be an upscale neighborhood?
He had thought Yunding Huating would be in the city center, with complete surrounding facilities, convenient transportation, and bustling activity.
Just like the neighborhood Li Jiang and the others live in.
He couldn't help but wonder: in this desolate wilderness, would there really be a neighborhood?
But judging from the map, the taxi didn't seem to have taken a wrong turn.
Watching the taxi get farther and farther from the urban area, Lu Feng thought with a pang of distress: this place is much farther from Food Street than the original rental house; taking a taxi every day would cost a lot of money and be inconvenient.
Don't know if a bus can reach here.
During Lu Feng's university years, every holiday he had to help out at the Shop, and after graduating university, the Company often required Overtime, so he didn't have time to get a driver's license.
Now his time was quite ample.
Otherwise, after a while, he could get a driver's license and simply buy a car.
Lu Feng came back to his senses, glanced out the car window, and saw that at some point a row of high walls had been erected outside; he looked at the driver and asked, "Driver big brother, how much longer until we arrive?"
The driver didn't turn his head, looking ahead as he replied, "We've already arrived; just a few Hundred meters further ahead is the Gate."
Arrived?
Lu Feng looked out the window at the walls again.
So that meant behind these walls should be Yunding Huating.
This wall is quite long; looks like this residential complex has a quite large area.
A few Minutes later, the Taxi slowly stopped by the roadside.
Lu Feng glanced out the car window, and what Mapped Into View was a tall, imposing Gate; the security guards standing post at the Door stood straight, tall and sturdy.
The high walls Extended Along both sides of the Gate into the distance; before the Gate was a spacious plaza, the ground paved with granite tiles of alternating shades, pieced into exquisite geometric patterns.
In the center of the plaza stood a grand artificial fountain, clear water cascading from the nozzles, constantly shifting shapes in the air.
Looking inside from the Gate, one could see lush gardens within the complex, and faintly make out several distinctively designed buildings in the distance.
"This is Yunding Huating?" Lu Feng Opened His Mouth Wide, asking in some disbelief.
Just looking at this incomparably imposing Gate, he felt this place was surely not as simple as a high-end residential complex.
