Back on Earth, there was a saying that the three ultimate dreams of a loser were to live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, and marry a goddess!
At least, Lin Huang, who had obtained the real estate card, had realized one of his dreams — to live in a mansion!
The house was 510 square meters, and the purchase price was 100 million credit points, which was about 220,000 credit points per square meter.
This price could really be considered as a luxurious house. Ordinary people, even if they were rich, would have to think twice before buying a set of them. However, this price was a drop in the bucket for a hunter.
100 million credit points were equivalent to 1,000 years worth of Life Crystals, which was equivalent to ten Life Crystals. A hunter of Lin Huang's ability could earn that amount in minutes.
In fact, Lin Huang was a little nervous when he was verifying his residency, but fortunately, he passed.
The registered name on the real estate card was Lin Xin's new identity — Ling Xue.
Lin Huang and the other two moved in as soon as they bought the house. Lin Huang did not even go back to the hotel and checked out of the room online. He had booked a three-day stay, and the hotel refunded him for the remaining two days.
On the first floor of the house, apart from the living room, there was only an open kitchen and two bathrooms.
On the second floor, there were three bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the larger bedrooms was given to Lin Huang by Lin Xin and Lin Xuan. The other two bedrooms were the same size, and Lin Xin and Lin Xuan each had a room. Lin Xuan finally had a room of his own.
The balcony on the second floor was huge, and it was connected to three rooms. Lin Xin liked the balcony very much.
On the third floor, there was a big study room, two guest rooms with a small balcony, a small storage room, and a bathroom. This floor was temporarily left vacant by Lin Huang and the rest.
After putting out the daily necessities from the storage ring, Lin Huang and the other two officially settled down in Winter City.
"It will be New Year's Eve in two days. Let's tidy up the house and go shopping tomorrow morning! See if there's anything you want to eat or buy. You can make a list at night so that you won't forget it tomorrow, "Lin Huang said to the two little ghosts.
The end of the year was the biggest festival in the world.
There were two calendars in this world. One was the Gregorian calendar that everyone used daily, and the other was the ancient perpetual calendar.
The Gregorian calendar was a calendar recompiled after the New Era, while the perpetual calendar was a product handed down from the Ancient Era.
The advent of the new era had changed many things in the world. Even the entire cultivation system was completely different from before. However, for festivals like New Year's Eve, people still followed the rules of their ancestors and passed them down.
Generation after generation of inheritance and progress was the main reason why weak creatures like humans had not been removed from the food chain.
The customs of the New Year here were somewhat similar to those on Earth.
Basically, every household would prepare a lot of snacks, including all kinds of dried fruits, candies, and fruits. There will also be a large stock of meat, fish, and processed meat and fish. Even if children refused to eat vegetables during this festival, they would not be scolded by their parents.
Apart from these, all the streets and alleys were selling all kinds of red things, including lanterns of various shapes, all kinds of woven goods, and all kinds of small red ornaments.
This was because red symbolized prosperity, symbolizing the new year, and that everyone would be able to move up to the next level.
At New Year's Eve, the elders would buy gifts for the younger generation, and the adults would also buy gifts for their parents.
This kind of gift was not only a sign of friendliness, but also a form of gratitude.
Therefore, children usually liked New Year's Eve, and adults were at the time when they needed money …
This was also the first New Year's Eve that Lin Huang had experienced since he arrived in this world. Although he had memories of New Year's Eve in his mind, it was still not the New Year's Eve that he celebrated.
At night, after Lin Huang sorted out the shopping list, he urged Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to make a list and send it to him before he went to bed.
The next morning, Lin Huang brought the two little ghosts out to buy New Year's Eve goods.
In the streets and alleys, the festive atmosphere was very obvious. Many shops began to hang red lanterns in front of their doors, and some of the doors were even pasted with red calligraphy and paintings.
These calligraphy and paintings on the doors were a bit like the door god couplets on Earth. However, in this world, these things did not have much meaning, and were only meant to be festive.
Lin Huang brought the two little ghosts and started to buy according to the list.
It was the first time that Lin Xin and Lin Xuan participated in the New Year's Eve goods shopping, and they were very excited and interested in many things.
Although it was also the first time that Lin Huang traveled to this world, he was very calm after spending New Year's Eve on Earth many times.
"Brother, that lantern is so beautiful!"
"Buy!"
"Brother, that calligraphy and painting is so beautiful!"
"Buy!"
"Brother, that doll is so beautiful!"
"Buy!"
…
When Lin Xin saw something that she wanted, she would say that it was beautiful.
On the other hand, Lin Xuan was even more direct. When he saw something that he was interested in, he would stop in front of the shop, then turn his head to look at Lin Huang, using his eyes to signal, "I want this."
They walked along the shopping street for the whole morning, but they did not buy many things on the list. Basically, they bought things like gifts for the two little ghosts.
Fortunately, there was a storage space in this world. If there was anything that they bought, they could just pile it up in the storage space, and it did not take up much space.
After lunch, seeing that the two little ghosts still looked like they had not had enough, Lin Huang shook his head helplessly.
"You two follow me and finish up the official business first. You can go shopping in the remaining time, or else we won't be able to finish shopping today. The New Year's Eve is the day after tomorrow, and we have other things to arrange tomorrow, so we won't have time to buy New Year's goods. "
Hearing Lin Huang's words, the two little ghosts nodded obediently. They knew that they would have plenty of time to shop in the future. This shopping street was only slightly more than a kilometer away from the residential area, so they could go shopping at any time.
In the afternoon, Lin Huang spent a few hours and finally bought all the things on the list before dinner.
After dinner, Lin Huang accompanied the two until it was past ten at night before he went home.
After washing up, Lin Huang quickly went to bed. He felt that shopping with Lin Xin and Lin Xuan for a day was more tiring than fighting in the Purple Crow's Tower of Trials for a day.
The next morning, which was the day before New Year's Eve, Lin Huang dragged the two of them out of bed early.
After breakfast, Lin Huang took out some of the decorations that they bought the day before, and the three of them started to decorate the room together.
By noon, they were almost done with the decorations.
Lin Huang placed some snacks and fruits on the coffee table in the living room.
In the afternoon, he followed the two little ghosts to walk around the shopping street. Initially, Lin Huang did not want to go, but he was worried about the safety of the two little ghosts, so he could only follow them.
A day passed just like that.
It was finally New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Lin Huang booked a feast at a reputable hotel nearby. Then, he piled the gifts that he had prepared for the two little ghosts in a corner of the living room, forming a small hill.
As soon as Lin Xin and Lin Xuan woke up, they went straight to the first floor. Without brushing their teeth or washing their faces, they sat on the floor and opened the gifts.
These were the things that the two of them had asked for when they were shopping on the shopping street. Every one of them was something that they liked, and the two of them had about fifty to sixty gifts in total.
Lin Huang sat on the sofa and watched the two of them open the gifts leisurely. When he was on Earth, he did not have a younger brother or sister, but now it seemed that having them was a blessing.
With his mental age, he actually treated the two little ghosts as his own children, so he pampered them a lot. However, he was not worried that the two little guys would be spoiled rotten. At least, he was very strict when he needed to be.
While the two little ghosts were opening the gifts, snow began to fall from the window.
Lin Huang got up and lit up the black stone in the fireplace in the living room.
This was a safe fuel that he had bought in advance two days ago. It was a little similar to charcoal on Earth, but it was a non-polluting mineral. When it came into contact with fire, it would automatically burn slowly, releasing heat and red light.
Seeing that the fireplace was burning, the two little ghosts quickly moved some of the unopened gifts to the fireplace to open them.
After opening the gifts, Lin Huang urged the two of them to go upstairs to wash up and then come down for breakfast.
While washing up, Lin Xin and Lin Xuan noticed that it was snowing outside, and the snow was getting heavier.
After breakfast, the two of them went straight to the small courtyard in front of the door and started playing in the snow.
Lin Huang was originally just standing by the porch, drinking hot tea. Unexpectedly, Lin Xin made a snowball and threw it at him.
Lin Huang dodged it with a smile, and Lin Xuan immediately followed suit and began to throw snowballs at Lin Huang.
After dodging it, Lin Huang put the teacup by the door and joined in the snowball fight with a smile. He was only responsible for dodging, and none of the snowballs that the two of them threw hit him.
However, Lin Huang soon realized that the snowballs that Lin Xuan threw were getting harder and harder to dodge. It seemed that Lin Xuan had added the use of firearms to throwing snowballs.
After dodging for about half an hour, Lin Huang was finally hit by Lin Xuan's snowball.
"Alright, alright, I lost. You two should go inside and warm yourselves." Lin Huang raised his hands and chased the two little ghosts back into the house.
Lin Xin and Lin Xuan sat on the ground next to the grill and ate their snacks while they warmed themselves by the fire. Lin Xuan didn't eat nuts or fruits, and he didn't even eat candy, so Lin Huang specially prepared a lot of jerky for him.
At night, the feast was finally delivered.
Lin Huang and the other two sat around the dining table and had a delicious meal to celebrate the end of the year.
The snow was still falling outside, and the fire in the house was flickering. Colorful crystals decorated the ceiling like stars …
