Chapter 150: Treasure hunting.

T4 sure knew the right words to say to get her heart pumping excitedly. Just mention words like sit back and enjoy wealth and she was in one hundred percent.

Well the mansion was not ugly; in fact it was beautiful, artistic and expensive. A part from the isolation, everything else was excellent. She made her mind up to stay but there was one person whose opinion mattered than most.

"Father, what do you think?" she turned head to look at him.

"I think it’s lovely, it reminds me of the old days." Papa Chi said. His eyes were slightly moist, looking out at the greenery as if it reminded him of a happy past. She wondered if he had ever lived in a place like this before. Papa Chi never talked about his past, all they knew about it is that he was an orphan and nothing else. Someday, she would ask him about it.

Looking at her brothers, she asked, "What about you guys?" If they did not like it, getting a place within the city was not impossible.

They all shrugged nonchalantly. They didn’t care where they stayed as long as the family stayed together. If they could live in the slum together, they could certainly live in this mansion together happily. Once more, she thought about the more exquisite houses and winced slightly, saying goodbye to them in her mind.

She smiled at the minister and held her hand out, "Then that settles it, we are staying." She said. "Can I have the paperwork?" she asked.

Minister Su’s assistant handed him some documents which Chi Lian asked papa Chi to sign on behalf of their family. If she signed for the property as Chi Lian, it would not be their family house, it would be her house and she didn’t want that to be the case. Having her father sign for the property meant it would be the Chi ancestral home forever unless someone in the family committed treason.

"Why is this place isolated? We passed by other places and they are occupied, well-built and luxurious. Why not this place?"

Minister Su looked to the North and pointed, "The north is where royal families live, and the east is where privileged families live. The south is where important politicians, scientists and soldiers live and the west is where contributors live. The number of contributors to the growth and development of the empire has not been large which is why the West is mostly unoccupied. I am sure you will find very good use for all of this space. "Smiling cunningly, he said, "You should try growing some of those high yield organic plants, maybe the effect will be different here. The emperor does enjoy your strawberries and nuts so much, you should start with those." He suggested.

"Host, I think we have been had."

"Yes, T4, I believe we have been had. These men moved me here so that I can farm for them."

"I think it’s so that they can spy on you." T4 had a different opinion, "Just take a look at the way this residence is organized from all royal families, aristocrats, scientists, soldiers and politicians. On the outside, it’s a privilege to live here; associating with the crème de la crème of the empire but on the inside, everyone and everything that could be a threat to the royals is within the emperor’s grasp in one place.

While I commend your emperor for wanting to control everything I think it’s also foolish because If someone wanted to cripple the empire, all they would have to do is take out this entire estate in one go." T4 made a ’boo’ sound as I an explosion had gone off.

"I don’t think I want to stay here anymore." Chi Lian mumbled to herself. Everything seemed to be a trap of some sort.

"Worry not host, with this almighty system here nobody can dare to cage you. Just concentrate on being a paparazzo so that we become stronger. Speaking of becoming stronger you have not yet checked to see the reward for leveling up."

"Isn’t it the mall becoming available?" she vaguely recalled T4 saying the mall was now open for shopping.

"No host, it’s something much cooler."

She quickly perused through the reward panel and saw a circular metal object with a protruding shark fin shaped top.

"What’s that?" she was confused.

"A submarine host, are you blind?"

"Submarines are shaped like a submarine, that thing is shaped like a donut. Why did I get a submarine, what am I going to use it for?" She asked irritably. She was not an underwater explorer or fisherman. She was a paparazzo who worked with cameras.

"Host, I am going to assume your lack of excitement and creativity is because you are exhausted. Do you know how many celebrities do shady things on yachts far away from prying eyes? This here is not just a submarine, it’s an underwater hotel that can withstand all storms and enable you to go treasure hunting in the deep seas."

Cha Ching! The gold coins in her mind clattered. Indeed, she was too exhausted because why else had she not thought about that. All those sunken ships with treasure out there, she was coming for them.

"In other news host whoever is on the mission to humiliate you is still at it. Pictures from when the soldier denied your family entry have surfaced online."

"Who is sharing them?"

A paparazzo who calls herself ’Call me Ai’. The funny part is that she is challenging the peep star, claiming to have got the scoop before us.

Call me Ai: [I found a scoop that even the mighty little peep star did not pick up, the Chi family was run out of Emperor’s courts and humiliated. Who is your favorite paparazzo, it’s me Ai.]

Chi Lian smirked after reading the post. Did this woman think she was cute by adding winking faces to her posts and sounding childish?

"T4, we are being invited on a play date; it would be rude to turn down the invitation."

The mighty little peep star: [@Call me Ai you have shared pictures of the Chi family being denied entry to the Emperor’s courts but why haven’t you shared pictures of them being granted entry. Oh wait! That’s not what your employer is paying you to do. Here are my pictures, picture one...the Chi’s arrive. Picture two...they are denied entry. Picture 3....they are escorted inside by the military. Picture 4...is you hiding your face in shame for being a liar. Slander is a crime for your information you air head.

Who is our favorite lying paparazzo, it’s you Ai.]

Baozi: [Fight, fight, fight.]

Fiery icy: [Who is daring enough to challenge the peep star?]

Princess meow: [Rest in peace @call me Ai, the peep star is going to demolish you.]
