Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 9: Renovating the Villa with Aerospace-Grade Alloy Steel!

After witnessing Liu Zimo's "superpower," Zhao Hongzhang's eyes lit up, his face flushed, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night.

Even when he couldn't stay up any longer and fell asleep in the early morning, he kept talking in his sleep:

"We have superpowers, why be afraid? If anyone doesn't agree, we'll fight them!"

"Hulk, Spider-Man, Flash, here I come!"

"Hahaha..."

In the next room, Liu Zimo, who was meditating and resting, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard his nephew's childish ramblings.

Oh, nephew, you really are a child who never grows up!

Dad actually expects him to keep secrets. With his habit of talking in his sleep, how many secrets can he keep?

The next day.

Liu Zimo ended his rest before dawn, quietly got up after freshening up, and left the house.

He found an empty space in a park near the residential area and earnestly practiced boxing and standing postures to strengthen his body.

This was a habit he had developed over the past thirty years, unwavering.

There was no other way. With his mediocre martial arts talent, he could only make up for it with diligence, spending more time and energy to constantly strengthen his body.

Now, even if he returned to thirty years ago and awakened the "Heaven Stealing" ability, Liu Zimo never had the slightest thought of slacking off.

It was not only a natural habit but also because of his desire and pursuit of powerful strength, which had never stopped.

The future world was too dangerous, and Liu Zimo, who struggled on the line between life and death every day like most survivors, lacked a sense of security. Only by constantly practicing martial arts and becoming stronger could they feel at ease.

Moreover, the current world might not be safe either!

The phantom cat that appeared in his nephew's house last night had already sounded the alarm for Liu Zimo in advance.

In his previous life, he had never heard of the existence of monster beasts on Earth before the global calamity of monsters occurred!

Of course, it might be because he had always lived at the bottom of society, with limited access to information and never heard such news.

It might also be because these awakened monster beasts, like the phantom cat, hid too well and had never been discovered by anyone.

Regardless of the reason, the fact had already happened before his eyes, leaving Liu Zimo no choice but to be more cautious.

Just like those martial arts experts who sensed the existence of spiritual energy before the spiritual energy outbreak and took the opportunity to break through their limits and reach a stronger martial realm.

The monster beasts that could awaken before the calamity of monsters arrived were far more talented and had greater potential than ordinary monster beasts.

Among them, there might be some monster beasts with extraordinary talents who awakened even stronger Divine Abilities.

Liu Zimo didn't think that he, who had only reached the Copper Skin Realm, could walk sideways in this era.

Therefore, the only security guarantee for him now and in the future was to diligently cultivate and constantly improve himself.

Soon.

An hour passed.

Liu Zimo was drenched in sweat after performing a set of Five Animal Fist, stretching every inch of his muscles and bones.

When the sky was completely bright and more people came to exercise in the park, he stopped and went to the breakfast stall nearby to buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks to take home.

When he entered the house, Dad had already gotten up and was brushing his teeth and washing up in the bathroom.

His nephew and younger brother were still sound asleep in bed.

Liu Zimo placed the breakfast on the table in the dining room, greeted his father, and was about to leave again.

Liuyi heard the sound and quickly poked his head out of the bathroom, loudly reminding him:

"Remember to bring the new phone I bought for you, so you won't be unreachable if something happens!"

"And don't be too conspicuous when something happens. Don't forget your current situation!"

"Remember, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. Your superpower, no matter how amazing, can't stop modern guns and cannons. Don't make yourself uncomfortable! I don't want to see you in prison when I see you again!"

Although the words weren't pleasant to hear, they were full of fatherly love, right?

Liu Zimo stood by the door and replied seriously without any impatience:

"Got it, Dad. I'm not a kid anymore!"

"Alright, I'm leaving. I'll be back for dinner tonight!"

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

"This child, why does he seem strange? Could it be that he wants to go out and have fun?"

Muttering quietly, Liu Yi continued to brush his teeth, carefully brushing up and down, left and right.

He wasn't worried about his son's safety at all.

He knew his son best, and he wasn't the type to bully the weak, even if he had superpowers.

His only concern was if someone provoked his son, something unexpected might happen.

Jokingly, who could withstand a punch from him?

He just hoped that no one would be foolish enough to go looking for trouble with his son.

Otherwise, the three of them would have to move and find another place.

After leaving the residential area, Liu Zimo took a taxi to the real estate agency he had contacted in advance.

After signing the relevant contracts with them, he received the keys and a copy of the property deed, and then followed the agent to the villa area in the eastern suburbs.

The information about the villa on the agency's website was consistent with what was presented. Although it wasn't the top-tier villa group in Luozhou City, it had a spacious land area, with each villa being about a kilometer apart, ensuring privacy.

At the same time, the villa had three floors above ground and three floors below ground, with the basement area being more than twice the size of the above-ground area, totaling over 700 square meters.

The ventilation facilities inside were complete, and the drainage system was in place. Since it was a second-hand house, the previous owner had already converted the basement into a gym, game room, and home theater.

The reason Liu Zimo chose this place was not only because it was close to the provincial agricultural institute's planting base, but also because he was attracted to the spacious basement.

He found a reliable renovation company through the agency and placed a blueprint on the table.

"Manager Liu, if we follow the design plan on this blueprint, how long will it take to complete the renovation?"

The renovation boss, referred to as Manager Liu, looked down at the content on the blueprint and his expression instantly became somewhat strange.

"Young boss, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

"The entire villa, you actually want to completely encase it with aerospace-grade alloy steel?"

"Are you planning to house people or imprison them?"

"And this basement, it's one thing to connect all three floors, but you also want to reinforce the walls on the ground and all around with alloy steel. This..."

Manager Liu didn't know what to say.

Are all rich people playing like this now?

This is simply burning money!

Not to mention whether the villa can still be inhabited after such modifications, just the cost of the renovation alone is enough to buy three equivalent villas, and it has to be paid in full!

Aerospace-grade alloy steel, each ton costs millions. To complete the renovation of the entire villa and basement, just the cost of materials alone would be impossible without spending two or three tens of millions!

So he really couldn't understand what the other party was trying to achieve by doing this.

Could it be that he's just messing with him?

"Manager Liu, you don't need to worry about what I'm going to use it for. You just need to tell me if you can do it and how long it will take!"

"As for the cost of materials and renovation, just give me a quote. You won't be shortchanged!"

"If you're not confident, I can pay a 30% deposit in advance!"

Liu Zimo spoke directly, with an air of wealth and arrogance.

What a big shot!

Manager Liu was instantly convinced by Liu Zimo's wealthy and arrogant demeanor.

Lowering his head, he carefully looked at the blueprint again, then took out a calculator and started calculating.

After a moment, Manager Liu looked up at Liu Zimo.

"With materials and labor, it will cost 23 million. Mr. Liu, are you sure you want to proceed?"
