Chapter 491 - 158: [Lumberjack Chen Yan]
Old Xia chuckled, then said, "I’m just here to give you a heads-up. Later, we’ll have you sign an agreement to confirm that your lease won’t be affected. The buyer will send someone over at that time."
After sending Old Xia off, the proprietress felt a bit distraught. Although Old Xia made things clear, she still felt somewhat uneasy inside.
After waiting the entire afternoon, just before dusk, two people dressed in suits with a very professional air walked in, followed by a real estate agent.
The proprietress immediately stood up from behind the counter.
"Hello," one of the middle-aged men in a suit came over and smiled, "Are you the owner of this internet café?"
"I am."
"Well, here’s the situation...the owner of this property, Mr. Xia Liming, has already sold this building to us... Oh, don’t worry, Mr. Xia should have informed you. We’re here today just to take a look and confirm with you that we’re willing to continue honoring the rental contract you had previously with Mr. Xia.
Of course, it all depends on your wishes. If you’re willing, we’d like you to sign a supplementary agreement—in the name of the new property owner."
The proprietress’s heart slightly calmed down.
Continue honoring the rental agreement!
She felt reassured and immediately perked up.
But a few minutes later, when the other party presented a newly written lease agreement in front of her...
The proprietress glanced at it, and suddenly, she was stunned!!
The rent hasn’t changed, and neither has the lease term!
But...
The name and ID number of the owner at the top of the contract...
"Chen, Chen Yan?!"
The proprietress rubbed her eyes hard and took another close look.
That’s right! It is Chen Yan!!
Names might repeat, but that ID number, she recognized it!
Chen Yan studied here for four years and visited the internet café so many times. The proprietress had seen his ID countless times, almost memorizing the number.
"The landlord... I mean, the new landlord, is it the person on the contract? Just..."
"Yes, this is the new landlord," the middle-aged man smiled, "Oh, let me introduce myself, my surname is Liu. The landlord, you can consider him my BOSS. You’ll be the tenant here, and if you have any issues, you can contact me directly. This is my phone number..."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out an old-fashioned business card—hardly anyone still uses business cards in this day and age.
The proprietress felt dazed, her mind unable to process.
Chen Yan...
He bought the building where my internet café is located?
No, wait!
He bought the entire street!!
The proprietress couldn’t remember how she absentmindedly signed and pressed her fingerprint on the contract.
Nor did she remember what she said to Mr. Liu afterward or how she sent them off.
Only after they left did she sit there in a daze for a long time before suddenly reacting, grabbing her phone, and dialing Chen Yan’s number.
However...
Soon, the notification tone indicating the person is out of service range came through.
The proprietress hung up in bewilderment and then put away her phone.
No!
Did Chen Yan really buy the entire street?!

Chen Yan is cutting down trees!
Wearing cold-resistant clothing, wielding a Fine Steel Axe in his hand.
In the frigid temperature, he was already sweating, with white steam puffing out from his mouth and nose!
At this moment, Chen Yan is in the Domain Realm!
Shortly after receiving a call from Boss Fang Dahai today, Chen Yan entered the Domain Realm.
In fact, it was just a coincidence that Boss Fang called. If he had called a bit later, he might not have been able to reach Chen Yan.
As for the proprietress calling later, Chen Yan had no idea. No matter how advanced Dragon Country Mobile is, the signal can’t reach the Domain Realm...
With each swing of the axe, an eccentric tree crashed down. Chen Yan wielded the axe, cut the trunk, and divided it into sections, then stacked them to the side.
After returning last time, the Half-Step Venerable girl told Chen Yan that the wood from this strange tree is excellent material for setting up an Array. It’s much better than the Spirit Gathering Array made from bluestone strips he’s currently using, improving the effect by more than ten times—Chen Yan noted this matter in his heart at the time.
Recently, with nothing much to do, he came to the Domain Realm to cut wood!
Today is already the second time he’s come to cut wood.
If only this place had Primordial Qi, it wouldn’t be so cumbersome.
But in this place, the outside world lacks Primordial Qi, and a cultivator’s own Primordial Qi is suppressed and can’t be mobilized at all. So, storage magical artifacts can’t be used.
Chen Yan wants to cut wood and take it back, so he can only pack it—the largest professional mountaineering pack.
These days, he came once before, filled three packs with wood, but it’s still not enough to set up a new array—when he originally set up an array with bluestone, the stone was trucked in!
But Chen Yan is not in a hurry.
He has plenty of time, and with that mysterious Ring in his possession, it’s like the Domain Realm has opened a back door for him, allowing him to come anytime.
The only restriction is that every time he comes, he must stay for seven days.
However, since there’s nothing urgent in the real world, Chen Yan doesn’t mind spending extra time in the Domain Realm—at worst, he’ll just treat it as an outdoor survival adventure.
The mountaineering pack is already filled with a load, and Chen Yan casually slapped a Light Body Talisman on it—he is now very skilled in the Sealing Spirit Technique, and making such a low-difficulty Talisman has a very high success rate.
