Chapter 004: Luxury Mansion
获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第004章 豪宅
It was precisely because of this gap that Thompson, as a football player, enjoyed considerable popularity at Midtown High School and was definitely one of the big shots.
Many people who watched Thompson's games felt that he could become a professional football player.
So even in high school, he had many fangirls and fans.
The black girl was one of them. It was precisely because of this status that Thompson was able to capture Mary Jane and make her his girlfriend.
Unfortunately, after Wang Bo replaced Thompson, he didn't like Mary Jane.
After all, she really didn't fit Wang Bo's aesthetic.
So to Mary Jane, Wang Bo could only say sorry. He decided to get through these few days first, then find a suitable time to talk about breaking up with Mary Jane.
On the other hand, because a few students in the reading room had become obsessed with studying and were getting thinner by the day, Wang Bo felt embarrassed to take out the Gourmet Tablecloth and conjure up a feast to eat and drink heartily, so he had to leave the reading room.
He climbed the stairs all the way up to the rooftop.
At [the place where the Honorable Brother fought], he found a good spot, sat down, took out the Gourmet Tablecloth, ordered several dishes, and ate with relish.
After enjoying the meal, Wang Bo searched inside the Fourth-Dimensional Pocket for some exquisite gems.
These gems were perfect in both size and color, and could definitely fetch a good price.
So Wang Bo took out the Copy Mirror, copied these gems, then put the original gems back into the Fourth-Dimensional Pocket, and with the copied gems in hand, quietly left the school.
As for the afternoon classes, haha... Would Wang Bo care?
This time, Wang Bo used the same trick. He found an auction house and sold his gems. But to avoid attracting attention, he deliberately visited several auction houses and sold all a dozen or so gems.
For the gem with the highest price, Wang Bo received fifty million dollars.
The lowest one also fetched thirty million dollars.
After selling over a dozen gems, Wang Bo had obtained a total of six hundred and seventy million dollars.
Even in the United States, this was a huge sum of money.
To be safe, when selling the gems, Wang Bo also used illusion magic, changing his face each time he entered an auction house—sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes old, sometimes young.
He believed that these people would never realize it was the same person.
This way, Wang Bo could use the funds freely and without worry.
With money in hand, Wang Bo went to the most famous real estate company in New York, found a staff member, and stated his request: "I want a luxury mansion, absolutely luxurious, money is no object, preferably one I can move into with just a suitcase."
The staff member looked at Wang Bo with a bewildered expression, suspecting that Wang Bo was messing with them.
After all, Thompson, whom Wang Bo had replaced, was just a high school student.
So in the staff member's eyes, where could a high school student like Wang Bo get so much money?
However, out of professional attitude, this beautiful woman with glasses and black hair, who seemed to have a sign of a great chest, still introduced Wang Bo to several New York luxury mansions.
The most expensive one was worth a hundred million, located on 57th Street in Manhattan, known as the world's most expensive luxury mansion, boasting the best city views in New York, situated on the central axis of Central Park, overlooking the entire park.
Here, the price per square meter exceeds $70,000, and the top-floor apartments sell for over $100 million each.
Although this apartment had no garden, Wang Bo still took a fancy to this luxury residence at first sight.
"Can I go take a look?"
The big-breasted beauty hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, but to view this apartment, our company must first confirm whether you are qualified to purchase it."
In plain terms, it was to see if he had the money to buy it.
If you don't have the money, why bother looking? A waste of time.
But when Wang Bo showed the balance in his account, the big-breasted beauty smiled broadly, leaned forward without hesitation by more than ten degrees, and displayed her impressive cleavage to him.
"Trust me, sir, your taste is absolutely extraordinary."
When going downstairs, the big-breasted beauty practically pressed herself against Wang Bo. He didn't mind this; instead, he put his arm around her waist.
After the two left the real estate company arm in arm, the big-breasted beauty drove a Ferrari, taking Wang Bo to 57th Street in Manhattan.
"Nice car," Wang Bo said, somewhat surprised. Now even a real estate agent could afford a Ferrari, or maybe the big-breasted beauty was actually a wealthy woman.
Perhaps she was just there to buy a house as a way to experience life.
The big-breasted beauty smiled slightly and said, "You misunderstand, Mr. Thompson. This car isn't mine; it's the company's. Of course, if you choose to settle on 57th Street, this car could be yours."
Wang Bo let out an "Oh" and suddenly understood.
Buy a house, get a car—such a practice was not uncommon.
Before long, the two drove to 57th Street, where Wang Bo immediately spotted a crystal-clear tower standing in New York's Central Park.
Its dazzling exterior alone captured Wang Bo's attention.
The big-breasted beauty led Wang Bo into the building, still chattering on about the tower's origins—for instance, its designer was the 1994 Pritzker Prize winner.
By the way, the Pritzker Prize is known as the Nobel Prize of architecture.
Beyond the thematic design, the interior was handled by the world's top designers. In short, this was a luxury residence tailor-made for the global elite.
This crystal tower, 306 meters tall, was one of New York's tallest residential buildings. Surrounded by Central Park, standing in the main living room and looking down, the park spread out like a giant green carpet.
On clear days, one could see all the way to the Bronx.
To the east, planes could be seen taking off from LaGuardia and Kennedy airports. The Atlantic also appeared on the distant horizon. To the northwest, the gentle curve of the Hudson River was visible.
Additionally, the building was connected to the Park Hyatt Hotel, allowing residents to use the hotel's pool, spa, bar, restaurant, cleaning, and dry-cleaning services.
The pool was part of the hotel, so you would also see hotel guests there.
After touring the luxury apartments, Wang Bo finally decided to buy a place of his own here.
The big-breasted beauty was overjoyed. Through her persuasion, Wang Bo spent $120 million to purchase the most luxurious apartment in the crystal tower.
Of course, the main reason was that Wang Bo's money came too easily, so he didn't feel the pinch at all.
At worst, if he spent it all, he could just sell a few more gems.
He had plenty of those.
