Chapter 35: Now this.. Is Lifestyle

[Group Leader Ren Asakura]:

"Is that my fault? *shrug*"

[Lu Mingfei]:

"You're even sending reaction memes now?!"

[Group Leader Ren Asakura]:

"And yet… nothing changes *smirk*"

[Saitama]:

"I can punch you, you know. I can do that too."

[Yoriichi Tsugikuni]:

"You can use text like this?!"

[Yoriichi Tsugikuni]:

"*laughing* Wahaha~!"

[Minato Namikaze]:

"(^^)!"*

[Group Leader Ren Asakura]:

"It's nighttime here, so I should head to bed. Not the best time for guests. Tomorrow! I'll show you around properly tomorrow."

[Group Leader Ren Asakura has approved Yoriichi Tsugikuni's entry into his world]

[Group Leader has approved Saitama's entry into his world]

[Group Leader Ren Asakura has started a live stream]

The morning sunlight was beautiful.

Today was a perfect day… to skip class.

After being a model student for so long, it was about time to indulge himself a little.

Two black portals suddenly appeared.

Saitama and Yoriichi stepped out of them, glancing around curiously as soon as they arrived.

For Yoriichi, who had lived in ancient times, everything was new and fascinating.

Saitama, on the other hand, was just intrigued by how this world compared to his own.

They had arrived in front of a massive villa.

Ren Asakura's private villa, spanning over ten thousand of square meters.

"Welcome to my home, you two."

Ren greeted them with a wide grin.

Yoriichi observed the luxurious interior.

"So this is what the world looks like… 600 years into the future?"

Ren nodded.

Meanwhile, Saitama was glancing around.

This world had no monsters, meaning there was no need for heroes.

Every country maintained order through its military, and that was enough.

"Wanna try some gamer soda?"

Ren casually grabbed two bottles from the fridge.

Chilled to perfection.

The two took the bottles. Saitama twisted his open and took a sip.

"Whoa. This is good."

Yoriichi Tsugikuni followed Saitama's lead, twisting open his bottle of gamer soda.

He took a sip.

Cold. Sweet. Refreshing.

Ren Asakura began his introduction.

"Mr. Yoriichi, you might not be too familiar with modern society. Right now, the world has fully entered the information age. Many things that were once impossible have now become reality—like flying… or traveling across countries."

With a casual snap of his fingers, the entire villa lit up with brilliant lighting.

The concealed air conditioning system in the ceiling activated, releasing a cool, gentle breeze.

The temperature inside the enormous villa began to steadily drop.

Saitama looked around at all the air conditioners running.

"Man… how much is your electricity bill?"

Ren smirked. He knew Saitama was the type to endure the summer heat just to save on AC costs.

"Relax. I may not be some crazy billionaire, but I can at least afford a little electricity."

After all, as the group chat leader, he had to keep up appearances.

"In this age of advanced technology, the world has changed rapidly. We can turn scorching summers into pleasantly cool days and make freezing winters warm and cozy."

Yoriichi listened to Ren's explanation, finding it all quite fascinating.

"And let's talk about food!" Ren continued.

"As civilization progressed, so did cuisine. Salt became finer, and now we have access to all kinds of spices—chili peppers, herbs, peppercorns… ingredients that were once rare and expensive are now affordable for everyone."

At that moment, a projection suddenly appeared.

It was Lu Mingfei, wearing his school uniform.

Judging by the background, he was still in class.

…Watching the live stream during class.

"I'm here, Group Leader!"

Ren chuckled.

"You little punk, you're actually slacking off during class?"

[Lu Mingfei]:

"I couldn't help it! I can't come to your world, so at least let me watch! Besides, no one even notices me in class. Might as well watch the stream."

Ren smirked.

"Fair point. You're practically guaranteed admission anyway."

Lu Mingfei sighed.

"Yeah, no way around it. Cassel Academy has already locked me in. No matter what I do, I can't escape. At this point, studying doesn't even matter—I'm getting in regardless."

Ren laughed.

"Damn. Must be nice being a guaranteed admit."

Lu Mingfei didn't dare make any big movements, so he just grinned.

"Group Leader, this is your house? Damn, it's huge! Let me take a look around!"

At this point, Ren Asakura had already led everyone into the kitchen.

"Alright, next up—let me introduce my kitchen!"

As the door opened, they were met with a high-end, state-of-the-art kitchen.

Multiple refrigerators lined the walls, while stainless steel countertops and cutting-edge appliances gleamed under the overhead lighting.

Above them, an enormous range hood dominated the ceiling. The shelves were stocked with an endless variety of seasonings—both Western and Eastern.

The floor was paved with expensive marble, polished with a special treatment to prevent slipping.

Ren stepped inside, motioning for the others to follow.

"This is my kitchen. Whether it's Western cuisine or Eastern dishes, anything can be made here. The entire kitchen covers several hundred square meters—big enough to fit an entire team of chefs cooking up whatever I want. As for ingredients, everything is stored in these fridges."

He opened the fresh produce fridge.

Inside, an array of vegetables gleamed, all in pristine condition.

Then came the freezer, filled with various cuts of meat.

Next was the seafood fridge, stocked with all kinds of fresh seafood—some of it still alive.

Lu Mingfei stared in shock, completely speechless.

He'd seen luxury before, but this? This was something else.

Ren continued his explanation.

"Oh, and all the fresh ingredients in here? I've placed a time-stopping spell on them. They'll never spoil."

Lu Mingfei looked utterly defeated.

"I've seen impressive stuff before, but you… you take it to a whole new level."

Ren chuckled.

"Well, I mean, my power is right here. I don't go around using world-ending abilities, but little conveniences like this? That much, I can handle."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the group leader, then at himself.

"Damn it! You're the kind of guy people envy to death!"

Ren shrugged casually.

"Eh, compared to real billionaires and corporate moguls, this is nothing special."

"Their ingredients spoils!"

Ren chuckled then grabbed two apples from the nearby fruit rack.

Each one was perfectly red, freshly picked at peak ripeness.

"No need to hold back! I'm the host today, so make yourselves at home."

With that, he handed them over.

These apples had already been washed and were ready to eat.

After that, Ren led the group to his bedroom.

Surprisingly, it wasn't very large, and the decor was simple.

However, the blanket and mattress were made of the highest-quality down feathers—while they looked ordinary, they were ridiculously expensive.

Then, they visited the wine cellar, stocked with countless rare and fine wines.

Right across from it was a room filled with imported cheese wheels, each one aged to perfection.

After a quick tour, Ren decided to stop.

There were still plenty of areas he hadn't shown them, but if he kept going, there wouldn't be any time left to have fun.
