Chapter 6: Omniscience
"Actually, I'm about to go abroad for a while, so the villa will be empty for half a year. Would you like to rent it?"
Professor Qin asked directly.
Originally, even if he rented it out, he would only rent it to acquaintances he knew well.
But Su Yuan...
Although Professor Qin hadn't known Su Yuan for long, they had hit it off immediately.
Moreover, Su Yuan was a student at Magic City University, and Professor Qin had taught at Magic City University for decades.
In Professor Qin's view, he knew Su Yuan quite well.
As for Su Yuan's character.
That was even more impeccable.
If his character were even slightly worse, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to help him up.Given the current social atmosphere outside, what normal person would dare help an elderly person?
"Is this... appropriate?" Su Yuan asked hesitantly.
"What's inappropriate about it."
The more Su Yuan acted like this, the more reassured Professor Qin felt.
"But I'm pressed for time and need to go to the airport soon, so I probably can't sign a formal rental contract with you."
Professor Qin thought for a moment, then waved his hand generously: "How about this, you move into the villa first, I'll charge you fifty thousand a month, and we'll settle the rent when I return in half a year?"
Without a formal rental contract, Professor Qin felt embarrassed to collect payment first, so he simply let Su Yuan stay first and pay later.
In fact, given the housing prices in Jinshan Villa District, fifty thousand a month was practically giving it away.
Professor Qin wasn't short of money; his main concern was not letting the house sit empty. Now that he had found a satisfactory tenant, money was secondary.
The homeowners who could afford to live in this villa district weren't short of money either.
"Maybe I should pay first," Su Yuan said.
"No need."
Professor Qin shook his head, "I have great faith in the credibility of Magic City University students."
It wasn't just the Magic City University student status—through their earlier conversation, Professor Qin had also discovered Su Yuan's unique insights in the field of life sciences.
Such promising talent would likely achieve accomplishments not far below his own in the future, making him completely trustworthy.
"Thank you, Professor Qin."
Su Yuan stood up and said.
"No need to thank me."
Professor Qin immediately led Su Yuan to the villa district's main gate.
"Xiao Wang."
Professor Qin waved toward the security booth.
Immediately, a middle-aged man with an upright posture walked out.
"Elder Qin."
The middle-aged man bowed slightly to Professor Qin as a sign of respect.
"I won't be in the country for this period. The person living in my villa is a junior relative of mine."
Professor Qin introduced Su Yuan.
Having Su Yuan pose as his junior relative was to resolve things quickly; only this way could they avoid various security inquiries and prevent missing his flight.
"My name is Lin Haichuan," Su Yuan said immediately.
"Mr. Lin." The middle-aged man bowed slightly.
"Later, take Xiao Chuan to register his fingerprint and iris."
Professor Qin instructed.
In high-end residential areas like Jinshan Villa District, entry and exit required iris and fingerprint verification.
Even every security guard in the district had memorized the homeowners' information.
If you weren't a homeowner, you simply couldn't get in. Even if you sneaked in, you'd be discovered by patrolling guards.
Half an hour later.
Professor Qin had roughly sorted out matters in the residential area.
After exchanging contact information with Su Yuan.
He immediately headed to the airport.
Meanwhile, Su Yuan, led by security, arrived at Villa No. 66.
"Beep—" After passing the iris and fingerprint recognition, Su Yuan successfully entered the villa.
The villa had three floors, with its own garden, lawn, lake, and two basement levels, covering an area of over five thousand square meters.
After entering, Su Yuan glanced around briefly before sitting on the living room sofa.
"Everything went smoothly."
Su Yuan let out a soft sigh of relief.
From the moment he appeared at the coffee shop outside the residential area.
Every action, movement, expression, and word he spoke had strictly followed the 'answers' provided by the gray mirror.
Only by doing this could he, upon first meeting Professor Qin, get the other party to proactively rent the villa to him.
If any step or action had been wrong, it would have caused Professor Qin to hesitate, thereby affecting the final outcome of renting the villa to him.
All of Professor Qin's reactions were within the gray mirror's predictions, allowing Su Yuan to know how to respond, build rapport, and gain the other's trust.
One could say that Professor Qin, as a person, had no secrets before the gray mirror—he was completely transparent.
......
The reason he chose Jinshan Villa District as his residence.
Was mainly because of the timing.
Since Professor Qin was in a hurry to catch his flight, there was no time to sign a rental contract, so Su Yuan managed to move in smoothly without any identity verification.
Which meant.
Aside from Professor Qin, no one else knew Su Yuan had moved into Jinshan Residential Area.
As for the 'Lin Haichuan' that Professor Qin knew? That was also a fake name Su Yuan made up on the spot.
It couldn't be traced externally.
"For the next two years, this place belongs to me."
A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face.
Professor Qin said he would only be abroad for half a year.
But the gray mirror told Su Yuan that Professor Qin would, due to certain unexpected events, stay abroad for at least two years.
......
"Is this the method of omniscience?"
Waves of emotion stirred in Su Yuan's heart.
Strategizing from a command tent!
Leaving no detail unaccounted for!
Every action taken, every word spoken carried profound meaning.
......
"By my estimate, the lingzhi mushrooms and old ginseng I bought should have arrived by now."
Su Yuan glanced outside the villa.
Over two days ago, after receiving his first million-yuan bounty, Su Yuan began selecting various lingzhi mushrooms and old ginseng to prepare for his cultivation practice.
Since it was an online purchase, transporting these lingzhi mushrooms and old ginseng here took time.
As for the delivery address...
Su Yuan had decided two days ago through the gray mirror that his residence would be here.
So the delivery address for all the purchased lingzhi mushrooms and old ginseng was Jinshan Residential Area, Villa No. 66.
......
"Security office."
Manager Wang, the middle-aged man, was informing all security guards about the latest homeowner information in the villa district.
"The current homeowner of Villa No. 66 is a junior relative of Elder Qin, named 'Lin Haichuan'. You all need to remember this, so you don't fail to recognize the name when you see him."
Manager Wang looked at the numerous security guards and said solemnly.
"Elder Qin's junior relative?"
"I remember Elder Qin has a son, but he went abroad."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Elder Qin to have a junior relative."
The security guards couldn't help murmuring quietly.
"Enough."
Manager Wang frowned, "Another discussion about homeowners, and it's a one-thousand-yuan fine."
As soon as he said this.
All the security guards quieted down.
Right at that moment.
A voice came from outside.
"Package delivery for the homeowner of Villa No. 66!"
Manager Wang walked out and saw seven or eight large boxes, "Did Mr. Lin purchase these?"
"Yes."
The delivery person nodded, "Should you deliver them, or should I?"
"We'll handle the delivery."
Manager Wang said.
This was also the rule in Jinshan Villa District—any food delivery or packages were delivered to homeowners by the security property management.
"It seems Mr. Lin really is Elder Qin's junior relative."
Manager Wang thought to himself.
These packages were clearly purchased before today.
And having filled in the delivery address as Jinshan Villa District, Villa No. 66 before today... Without a doubt, Mr. Lin had already known he would be living here.
Otherwise, wouldn't these purchased items fail to reach him?
Under these circumstances, Mr. Lin and Elder Qin must have an exceptionally close relationship.
......
Half an hour later.
The seven or eight large boxes were delivered to Villa No. 66.
Su Yuan opened the boxes one by one, arranging the various lingzhi mushrooms and old ginseng around him.
Then he took a deep breath.
Cultivation began.
