BXBX NOVEL Chapter 432 Okay, New Plan
"This superyacht has about seven guest cabins, a fully outfitted gym, a salon, as well as a pool," said Liu Yu Zeng as he and Chen Zi Han entered the living room from the other side of the ship. "And the even better news is that it is still in working order."
Well… fuck. I was kind of hoping that it looked pretty but was dead in the water so I wouldn\'t have to disappoint anyone who thought a cruise was a good idea.
"However, there is bad news," interjected Chen Zi Han, glaring at his friend beside him. "A yacht this size normally requires at least 20 people to crew it. Liu Yu Zeng, as much as he thinks otherwise, does not actually know how to do that, and I am not willing to risk Princess."
Huh, maybe things would work out in my favor after all. That whole idea of a cabin in the mountains was sounding better and better, especially when something, all of a sudden, something bumped into the outside of the ship hard enough to send us rocking back and forth.
Yup, being in the mountains was definitely climbing to the top of my list.
"We can grab some of the guys from the compound," suggested Liu Yu Zeng, and Chen Zi Han already started shaking his head before he could finish his sentence.
"Nope, no way. We need a crew that actually knows what they are doing. Besides, do you really trust 20 of our men on a ship with Princess? You would have started tossing them overboard as soon as you felt they had stared at her too long," said Chen Zi Han, looking to Liu Wei and Wang Chao for their input.
"I have suggested a cabin in the mountains," said Liu Wei as there was yet another bump. I was thankful we were still sitting at the docks; otherwise, if I was in the middle of the ocean, I would definitely be freaking out about now.
Liu Yu Zeng paused and looked at his brother for a second. "Who would all be there?" he asked slowly.
"The five of us," shrugged Liu Wei. "In fact, we can leave for it right now. I assume you still have your habit of clearing out a place when you leave it?" he continued, looking at me.
I shrugged my shoulders, not admitting to anything. Besides, the guys knew me well enough to know that Liu Yu Zeng\'s place was emptied except for the furniture.
"Only the five of us? No outsiders, no guards, no zombies… no assassins?" pushed Liu Yu Zeng, looking around at everyone.
"Only the five of us," confirmed Wang Chao with a smile.
"Okay, new plan. We go there," nodded Liu Yu Zeng as he turned around to go back the way he came from. I let out a soft sigh of relief. A large part of me was worried that he would insist on going for the cruise, and I knew that I would have agreed just so he wouldn\'t be upset.
"Done," said Chen Zi Han, dipping his head down and kissing me. "To have you all to ourselves every hour of every day seems like heaven."
Yeah, this cabin idea was starting to sound better and better.
I quickly started to go through the list of supplies I had in my space. I still had more than enough solar panels, working appliances, and lights to outfit a base the size of City A, so that won\'t be a problem. My farmland still had ducks, chickens, cows, horses, sheep, and pigs, so meat, dairy, and eggs were covered.
The farmland itself still had endless fields of grain, corn, and almost every other vegetable I could think of. My orchards were producing fruit faster than I could keep up with, and I was drowning in the amount of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries that I had.
Yeah, I couldn\'t think of a single problem with moving to a mountain with just me and the guys. Hell, I could get back to baking and canning again.
I closed my eyes and pictured what it might be like and felt the tense muscles in my body relax.
I could still send out my zombies to take over the country and destroy mankind, and I wouldn\'t have to be out on the water to do it.
"All right, I am ready," said Liu Yu Zeng, coming back. "I just went to grab the keys. No point in letting anyone else get their hands on my yacht. I paid a crap ton of money for it."
"Really? How much?" I asked, curious. I looked around at the lavish interior as well as the size and thought that it would easily cost a few million. However, I was able to buy a huge ranch that backed onto the mountains around City A for $5 million, so there was no way the yacht would cost more than that.
"A little over $90 million. I got a really good deal on it," said Liu Yu Zeng with a satisfied nod of his head. I blinked a few times, letting his words sink in—over $90 million for this yacht. I could buy my ranch 18 times for that amount of money. No wonder only rich people could buy a yacht.
Looking around with new information, I came to a really important understanding. Rich people spent their money on useless shit because, at the end of the day, there was no way his yacht was nicer than my ranch.
Oh well, "Bless your heart," I said to Liu Yu Zeng, nodding my head. "I\'ll make sure to put this in one of the lakes inside of my space. The ducks won\'t be happy, but you are right. There is no way I am letting someone take a $90 million yacht."
Of course, that didn\'t apply to me taking anyone else\'s yacht.
