Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 217: Villa Number One

"Whew."

Li Wei stretched lazily. After many days, he finally left his room. "Let's speed up time in the game," he thought. "The children are all growing up, and with Dawn watching over them, nothing will go wrong."

Despite saying that, Li Wei still placed a puppet in front of the screen to help with the controls.

"Master."

As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Yuexian bowing to him. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed. "You haven't been to school for many days," she reported. "Your homeroom teacher kept calling home. After I blocked him, he even called the police, suspecting a program error had caused me to put Master in the meat grinder."

"...."

Li Wei's lips twitched. He removed the teacher from his old phone's blacklist. As soon as the call connected, Li Wei frowned and moved the phone away from his ear. He felt like the teacher's saliva was about to spray out of the receiver.

"Are you crazy, Li Wei?!" the teacher yelled. "With your talent, why aren't you attending school? What a ridiculous excuse! Your family is on the run, but can't you try to work hard and improve yourself? You're a genius!"

"And that competition the other day, why was the opposing genius kidnapped and taken to a spaceship? And he won't be back for two months?"

"You little rascal, I told you to just use a little bit of effort to defeat him! Then, you would be the top genius in California, and you might even be recruited by the Earth's regular army! Do you know what a great opportunity you wasted?"

"Did you suffer some kind of blow and don't want to see anyone? Can you listen to me properly? Everyone faces setbacks in life..."

"And that gatekeeper of yours, surnamed Chen, what's his deal? You told him to wait and not let me in, didn't you? Just wait until I become the district secretary; I'll bring a thousand teachers to find him and settle the score!"

Li Wei scratched his head. He had been listening attentively.

The teacher's name was Xiao Qingluo. He was quite good to all his students; otherwise, Li Wei wouldn't have helped him out.

When the sound of panting came through the phone, and the teacher's voice paused, Li Wei coughed and said, "Teacher, I really have been busy with important matters these days. But I'm also quite afraid of answering your calls. I thought you might have calmed down by now."

"I can't fucking calm down!"

The teacher paused for a moment. "What are you busy with?" he asked.

"Building a business from scratch."

Li Wei grinned. "Have you adjusted now?" he asked. "Was the principal arrested? Were you nominated as the interim principal?"

"Ah? You were behind this too?" Xiao Qingluo was stunned, and then let out a sigh of relief. "Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse," she said. "Your Li family still holds considerable influence. I was wondering why, after that genius was kidnapped during the competition, the principal was arrested by the authorities the next day, and they immediately uncovered years of corruption. The day after that, I was nominated as the interim principal."

"Teacher, now that you're the interim principal, when you have some free time, could you help me bring out a little bit of that alien species being researched in the school lab?"

As Li Wei finished speaking.

Xiao Qingluo remained silent for a long time, then said, "Have you been brainwashed by a terrorist organization? That thing is too dangerous."

"Ah, alright, alright, I'll come see you."

Li Wei hung up the phone. He had a good relationship with his teacher, who was also the first person to discover his talent.

Soon after, Li Wei stepped out of his room. Grandma Ling was still squatting by the door. The moment she saw Li Wei, she abruptly stood up, her eyes flashing fiercely.

But just as she was about to speak, her expression changed.

She remembered that day when she had tried to steal that high-grade magical treasure, and Li Wei had taken it back from her storage ring.

"Grandma Ling," Li Wei said, "it's early in the morning. Would you like to go out for morning tea together?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of a peak Golden Core cultivator erupted from his body. With his hands clasped behind his back, he leaped onto the levitating North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear and soared out of the villa complex.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Li Wei's aura emerged, the presence of a Golden Core cultivator spread throughout the entire villa complex.

All those who were still cultivating within the villa complex abruptly opened their eyes inside their caves, staring blankly towards the sky in the direction of Li Wei's departure, their expressions complex.

Old Chen, the gatekeeper, was eating a steamed bun. At that moment, the bun he had just taken a bite of fell from his mouth.

"Goodness gracious," he exclaimed, "this talent is even more impressive than the original Number One's master back in the day. And he's also someone who likes to play the pig to eat the tiger."

As he spoke, he sensed that Old Madam Ling was about to give chase.

His eyes flashed fiercely, and he instantly vanished from his spot, appearing before Old Madam Ling.

At that moment, in front of the gate of Villa Number One, Old Madam Ling stood alone, surrounded by a circle of people led by Gatekeeper Chen. There were over thirty of them, gathered from the various villas, some wearing pajamas, some covered in grime, and some even still eating instant noodles.

"Old Madam Ling, you've truly become stupid from refining artifacts. In our territory, do you think you can touch someone who wields the Yin-Yang Diagram?"

"Hey, we're all neighbors here. Just let it go, Old Madam Ling. You finally managed to get Villa Number Twelve. Countless people would love to live in your cave dwelling."

"If it weren't for the fact that you single-handedly challenged the Mechanoid Clan four hundred years ago, I would slap you right now and make you vacate Villa Number Twelve! Don't push me to truly disrespect you!"

Looking at these old geezers who had been her neighbors for who knows how many years.

Old Madam Ling narrowed her eyes and sneered. "After being suppressed by that Li family member for so many years, you haven't changed your servile nature. Now that the Li family is gone, how much longer do you want to be oppressed by their youngsters?!"

"And you think you can stop me? You're just a bunch of fawning cowards!"

At the entrance of Villa Number One, Yuexian peered through the peephole, observing the scene outside. She finally released her slender hand from the doorknob and returned to the living room, closing her eyes.
