While looking at the house, Wu Fu and Si Xi were both quiet, their little heads turning non-stop.
It seemed the house was too big, and the eyes of one person and one dog couldn't take it all in.
After Xia Chujian finished looking at the entire house, she finally decided to partition off a third of the library to make a hidden door, behind which would be the small armory she wanted to build.
She spent the most time in the room that would be used as a library, and she already had a plan in her mind for how to partition it.
In that room, Xia Chujian directly sent the requirements to Bai Li Xin, asking him to partition a secret room in the library room according to the dimensions she gave.
Of course, they could only call it a secret room to Bai Li Xin and the others.
The words "armory" would not be said to outsiders.
Bai Li Xin just thought it was a basic operation for wealthy families, and hurriedly agreed, saying it was a free service and he wouldn't charge her.
Because Xia Chujian's family had been building walls and houses this year, in less than half a year, they had earned more than they had in the previous five years.
He had even bought a new truck.
Of course, Xia Chujian wouldn't let him work for nothing, saying, "We'll pay whatever we should, Mr. Bai Li. What I want is the quality of construction, and your honesty and trustworthiness."
Bai Li Xin showed his Humanoids true face in front of Xia Chujian and her family, and he couldn't help but feel inferior to them.
But Xia Chujian and her family had no prejudice or discrimination against them at all, and they didn't pity them either, but treated them as equal human beings. Business was business, and they didn't take advantage of them.
Such customers were too hard to find, and Bai Li Xin simply didn't want to lose this big customer.
But since Xia Chujian said so, he didn't want to make the customer feel uncomfortable, so he quickly said, "Since you say so, I have to show my true skills even more. I will charge according to the market price, but our Bai Li Family actually has an ancestral skill in building secret rooms. You'll know when it's finished, and you definitely won't be disappointed."
"Oh? Really? Then I can see it." Xia Chujian smiled and signed a new contract with him, asking them to start construction next week.
After settling the armory matter, Xia Chujian came out of the house that would be used as a library.
Xia Yuanfang said, "It seems this library wasn't built in vain. We should put more books in it in the future. I think Chujian likes it."
Xia Chujian smiled and didn't refute.
Xia Yuanfang looked at her a few more times.
Because she knew that Xia Chujian didn't like reading at all, except for those messy online novels serialized on the Star Network...
But she didn't delve into it, and handed over a bowl of Bingfen she had just made, "Eat a bowl of Bingfen, rest for a while before going out."
When Xia Chujian saw the crystal-clear bowl of Bingfen with rose petals, the little bit of heat that had risen due to anxiety disappeared instantly.
And Wu Fu was already sitting in her child seat, eating Bingfen seriously with a small wooden spoon.
Aunt Chen, Zhu Yingying, and San Zong also had a bowl each, eating very sweetly.
Small Dog Si Xi also had a bowl of dog food, but not Bingfen, but it didn't care, and ate happily in its dog bowl.
After eating Bingfen, Xia Chujian couldn't wait to see the Flying Vehicle that Small Dog Si Xi "dug out".
Xia Yuanfang had only heard Aunt Chen and the others mention it, but hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
"...Is it across the lake? Why didn't I notice it before?" Xia Chujian said, holding Wu Fu, and walked out of the house's gate excitedly.
Small Si Xi "Wu Er Fu, Wu Er Fu" called out, shaking its short legs, and led the way.
Xia Yuanfang, Aunt Chen, and Zhu Yingying followed behind her.
San Zong chased from behind, already wearing shoes.
Xia Chujian didn't mention it again, and said directly, "San Zong, where is the Flying Vehicle that Si Xi found?"
San Zong said, "It's over there, San Zong will take Young Lord to it."
Small Si Xi was already running out of breath, sticking out its pink little tongue.
San Zong bent down and picked it up, walking quickly towards the other side of the lake.
The road here was relatively narrow, and the road in the yard was not connected, so it was not easy to drive. They all walked there.
Fifteen minutes later, they reached the other side of the lake.
There were half-person-high shrubs and weeds, as well as towering trees, like a primeval forest, connected to the Exotic Beast Forest.
San Zong carried Si Xi, leading the way.
He bypassed the maze-like bushes and walked into the forest for another ten minutes before stopping at a raised, shed-like structure.
Putting Si Xi on the ground, San Zong tore down all the vines used for camouflage with his bare hands.
A black-gold flying vehicle immediately appeared before their eyes.
Xia Chujian was stunned.
This flying vehicle looked so new! It looked much newer than the one they had seized from Feng Qianzhan! The coating on the outside of this flying vehicle looked like it belonged to a particularly high-end type, with a dark, shiny color revealing a little bit of dark golden light.
Xia Chujian even thought it looked better than the Black Silver color of her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha.
More importantly, this flying vehicle was really too small! To put it this way, Feng Qianzhan's flying vehicle was about the size of a two-bedroom apartment.
And the Quan Family's flying vehicle was like a large fighter jet, with a total length of more than five hundred meters.
And Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet, said to be one of the only two fighter jets in the Empire capable of space jumps, was almost a kilometer long...
But the flying vehicle in front of her was at most one and a half meters long, no more!
The height was only half a person tall.
Even compared to the flying vehicle that San Zong and the others were currently living in, it was just a toy! No wonder Small Dog Si Xi found it.
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and this flying vehicle was completely different in shape from other flying vehicles.
This flying vehicle was round, like the shape of a sun hat worn in summer.
Xia Yuanfang walked over.
She knew that Si Xi had "dug up" a flying vehicle, but she had not seen it with her own eyes, and subconsciously thought it was similar to the flying vehicles she had seen before.
So when she saw the shape of this flying vehicle for the first time, she was so surprised that she couldn't help but blurt out: "...U... Flying Saucer!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
"Aunt, what are you talking about?"
Xia Yuanfang hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Look at the shape of this thing, doesn't it look like a round disc? And it can fly, so isn't it a Flying Saucer?"
"Oh, so that's what those two words are, I thought Aunt was saying, 'There are butterflies'!" Xia Chujian laughed.
Xia Yuanfang thought to herself, luckily she didn't say UFO, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain the meaning of UFO.
Because none of the countries in the entire Beichen Galaxy had that kind of alphabetic writing.
Aunt Chen also came over and said, "This kind of flying vehicle is really small, I think it's only enough for Chujian to sit in alone."
Xia Chujian touched the hatch door that was flashing a dark, matte black-gold color, and said regretfully, "I can't see what it looks like inside at all, but looking at the size, it shouldn't be a problem for two people to sit in, but no more."
She had originally thought it was stolen goods, or thrown away as garbage.
Now that she thought about it, it was definitely not garbage.
Because this flying vehicle was in such good condition, no one would throw it away as garbage.
Then it was stolen goods, temporarily hidden here? If it was stolen goods, Xia Chujian wouldn't mind doing a "double-cross"...
If it had an owner and was not stolen goods, this flying vehicle must also have an unknown origin, just like her Feng Qianzhan's flying vehicle.
Otherwise, it would definitely fly into Mulan City openly, why hide here?
Xia Chujian really wanted to see what was inside.
Xia Yuanfang asked, "Can you open it?"
Xia Chujian shook her head: "I can't open it, but I have a friend who should be able to."
She was thinking of Song Mingqian, a teammate from the Dark Night Hunter Association.
This guy was very good at cracking flying vehicles.
Xia Yuanfang said, "We don't need this thing for the time being, let's seal it up first. After your National Higher Education Entrance Examination is over, when you have time, we'll consider how to deal with it."
Xia Chujian nodded: "I'll listen to Aunt."
She also remembered those teammates, who hadn't contacted her for more than two months.
Could it be that they haven't done any missions in the past two months? Xia Chujian's hands were itching.
But she quickly remembered what Huo Yushen had said, that she was now a formal employee of the Special Security Bureau and couldn't just take on private jobs outside. However, Huo Yushen also said that the Dark Night Hunter Association was another matter.
So, could she continue being a Hunter, or not? Xia Chujian's head hurt from thinking about it.
She sent a message directly to Huo Yushen.
[Xia Chujian]: Inspector Huo, can I still be a Hunter and take on missions in the Dark Night Hunter Association?
This time, Huo Yushen didn't reply instantly.
It was more than two hours later, when they were already having lunch in their new home's dining room, that Huo Yushen's reply finally arrived.
[Huo Yushen]: If you take on a mission, let Meng Guanghui review it. If he says it's okay, then it's okay.
Xia Chujian felt relieved.
It seemed she wasn't completely forbidden from taking on private jobs.
But then she thought of another question.
[Xia Chujian]: If I earn money from missions, does the Special Security Bureau take a cut?
[Huo Yushen]: ...How much money can you earn? Hundreds of millions? Is it worth the Special Security Bureau taking a cut?
[Xia Chujian]: Every penny is hard-earned money! Cat with fire on its head.JPG.
She sent a cat-with-fire-on-its-head emoji to show she was angry.
Huo Yushen was unexpectedly silent after seeing her reply.
Then, incredibly, he apologized to Xia Chujian.
[Huo Yushen]: I'm sorry.
[Huo Yushen]: Every bit of hard-earned money deserves respect. I'll just take a token one percent cut.
Xia Chujian's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when she saw the first three words of Huo Yushen's reply!
Huo Yushen, this cold man who seemed like the whole world owed him not only money but also his life, actually apologized!
How rare!
Xia Chujian almost couldn't help but laugh out loud three times, but then she saw his next sentence and immediately became even angrier.
She sneered inwardly and replied immediately.
[Xia Chujian]: No, no, no, we're a poor family, how can we withstand your respect? Please continue to look down on my little bit of hard-earned money, I'll enjoy it all the same.
Huo Yushen didn't reply, thinking, is that how you use "enjoy it all the same"?
She really is a dropout.
This is the second update. There will be a new update at five minutes past midnight tonight.
