Chapter 450: Renovation.
[I still don’t get why you decided to buy the house instead of renting it?] The system asked as the real estate agent left the building.
“I might be cheap, but I don’t hesitate to spend when it comes to things that would help my progress or cultivation.” Blake said.
If he had rented the house he wouldn’t have the right to make any permanent changes like converting a room to a forge or cutting open the walls to put large glass windows for more natural sunlight.
Although the renovation would cost nothing less than half the price he paid for the house, Blake still thought it was still worth it. This was because he would still be able to continue forging and it would also provide security to a certain extent.
Also, if he was to end up leaving the city, he could still sell it off at a very high price.
“The forge room should be large and the walls should be more reinforced than the rooms.” Blake said.
He planned on breaking the kitchen, passage and bedroom walls on the upper floor which would leave him with more than enough space for forging.
.....
The next area he planned on making changes was the living room on the upper floor. He was planning on replacing the walls with full glass windows and converting them to his bedroom.
As for the bedroom on the ground floor, Blake was planning on changing it to a library or study room even though he currently didn’t have any need for storing physical copies of books.
Also, since the passage also led to a staircase at the dining it would be very easy for him to move up to the forge above.
“Using the stairs is quite troublesome, I should create something like a mini elevator.”
“Also, a secret escape route would come in handy, but I will think about that one later in the future.” Blake thought.
With all the plans for the interior being arranged, it was now time for Blake to head to the adventurer association for the things he needed.
The reason he was going to the adventurer association was because the materials he needed could not be found in normal stores or warehouses.
For example, the glass windows he planned on getting were not only physically and magically strengthened to resist the spells of a nascent demigod. Also, no one outside would be able to see through it no matter the time of the day.
Materials of such quality were only bought by nobles, and the only people that could produce or even import them were only a few top companies and factories that were located in the central region.
‘It would be nice to break the entire house down, and build it from scratch, but I have only a week to do so and that won’t be possible.’ Blake thought.
The 2 major problems he had was that with the building, there was the lack of a basement he could use as a secret escape passage and the normal walls that won’t be as strong as the glass windows he was about to purchase.
[You are forgetting that it would also draw a lot of attention to you.] The system reminded Blake.
‘Yeah, the renovation I am about to carry out would already draw some attention to me.’ Blake couldn’t help but facepalm.
He had been carried away by the thought of creating something close to his dream house that he had forgotten about laying low.
‘Nothing I can do about it. Besides it isn’t much.’ Blake thought.
[More like you don’t want to do anything about it.] The system shook its head as Blake gave himself an excuse to continue the renovation.
After 2 hours of going through the adventurer association’s large catalog and picking the items he wanted, he paid for them.
Blake had only purchased the materials for the renovation and not the furniture, but the total cost was above 7 million gold coins.
The main reason for the large amount was the forgemastery equipment which cost almost 4 million gold coins in total.
When he was done shopping, it was already getting dark. So Blake decided he would begin the renovation the next day.
So he boarded a carriage and went back to school to have dinner with his friends.
Just like him, everyone planned on leaving the school exactly in a week. So Blake decided he would be ending his renovation early so that he could return and spend more time with them.
...
After breakfast the next day, Blake wasted no time heading to the upper area of the middle region.
Once he got to his house, Blake immediately went to work and started by tearing down the walls that obstructed his forging room.
The reason Blake was confident about finishing the renovation all by himself in a week was because he had telekinesis granted by the space element.
Using the precision and penetrative ability of the lightning element Blake made short work of the walls before placing them into his dimensional pocket.
From there he moved to the upper floor of the living room and did the same.
When cutting out the walls of the living room and using mana control as well as telekinesis to lower them to the ground, those outside were confused about what was happening.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
“Who are you and what do you think you are doing? Who granted you access or the permission to tear down the walls?” A man who was in his late 40s asked as he came running out of the duplex closest to Blake.
The middle-aged man who was his neighbor was also a mid-sized merchant.
“Answer me or I will be calling the ash corps!” The merchant barked at Blake who was looking down on him.
“I now own the property, and I am part of the ash corps.” Blake said as he brought our both the contract to the house and the captain badge that had been delivered to him the previous day.
“So kindly leave my property or I will have to take action on you.” Blake said as his eyes began glowing with mana.
“S...sorry.” The merchant quickly apologized and ran back into his house.
[He does not mind his business, but he is also a coward. What a very bad combination.] The system burst out in laughter as he saw the merchant running back to his house.
Not dwelling on the little episode that just took place, Blake carried on with installing the full glass windows and after that, he went straight to the ground floor.
He first took off the doors connecting the living room to the kitchen before taking out the door leading to the yard.
After that, he also cut out part of the wall close to the door before installing a long full glass sliding door.
Since the walls were weaker when compared to the reinforced glass, Blake wanted to replace as much of it as possible with the glass.
As for the walls, Blake planned on using arrays to strengthen them, but that was for another day because it was just an hour from the evening.
He returned to the school and freshened up before meeting up with his friends.
...
The next day was for reinforcing and integrating every part of the house with arrays, and that included also included the already reinforced glasses.
For 8 hours straight, Blake was continuously inscribing arrays to the rooms of the house, but even at that, he wasn’t able to complete it.
What was left was the forging room and creating a central power source as a backup for the arrays.
Although it was only 2 tasks they were still the most difficult to carry out. He couldn’t create a central power source without finishing up the forging room.
The problem with the forging was that he had to put a lot of things into consideration. For example, the large amount of heat produced would need something like a chimney or some kind of cooling array.
Also, there were failed processes or experiments that could have reactions other than a simple explosion.
Apart from that, the arrays were meant to be placed in a way that wouldn’t affect the costly equipment when they were connected to the central power source.
All these needed planning but it was something Blake could do in a single night. So he wasn’t worried about it disturbing his schedule.
