958: Simply Inhuman

Simply Inhuman

The gallery Ningning was talking about was, in fact, a private, custom-designed home theatre.2

The thick and heavy door had to be pushed open with force. From its sound when opened, one could tell it was very expensive. The door was crafted entirely out of a piece of wood. Separated by a screen, the fans watching the live stream could not tell what type of wood it was.

Ningning squirrelled his way in through the open door.

What greeted everyone's eyes was a starry sky capturing the romantic air of the night. Stars twinkled in the vast expanse. If one were to sit down and watch a movie, there was no doubt the ambience evoked by the surroundings would have been magical.

Ningning turned on the lights, allowing the fans a panoramic view of the home theatre.

Logs formed an outline of the interior, a silhouette of textured bark holding up a canopy of stars. Various shades of black and grey blended into a smooth gradient of colour, cleverly complimenting the interior decor. The floor, carpeted in a coat of thick fur, added a soft touch, while hung up on the walls were classical pieces of American art. The overall effect created was elegant but not ostentatious, bearing an air of nobility.

Netizens watching the live stream were stunned. It was too beautiful, too rich...

[ My gosh! How many years would I have to work to own a home theatre? I would need to go without food or drink for years! Someone give me a solution! ]

[ Simply inhuman! ]

[ The decoration aside, just the size of the home theatre is amazing... Can everyone see what's on-screen? ]

[ An ordinary person would not be able to afford such a luxurious home. ]

[ Someone who went to university might be able to afford it...? ]

[ Friends watching the live stream, as a professional, let me say a few words, if you want to own a home theatre, an ordinary person would need a few lifetimes of hard work without eating or drinking anything at all! ]

I'll give you a number. You can see if it is a sum most would obtain in one lifetime.

A conservative estimate valued the home theatre at 80 million.

[ It might only be more and not less! ]

80 million. If it were an ordinary person, even if they did not eat or drink for a few lifetimes, they would not be able to amass enough wealth. The cost of a home theatre would only rise with inflation. It would be surprising if the amount entered the billions or even trillions.

Pa!

The screen turned black.

"Now that Ningning has shown you the gallery, he'll show you something else."

The fans watching the live stream felt their hearts break into pieces when they exited the gallery.

There was a very popular saying on the Internet: Ordinary people will never understand the life of the nouveau rich.

There were many things ordinary people had never seen or heard of before.

Yet, to the nouveau riche, it was just another day in their lives.

"This is Dad's study. No one is allowed inside without his permission. Ningning can only stand at the door to show everyone what it looks like."

The study was an important place. It housed many secrets. Though Ningning was young, he knew his father's study was off-limits. His father had warned him before, and he still remembered what he had said to him. Ningning was a good child; he would not let anyone enter his father's study without permission.

The study was stereotypically Chinese in design and decor. It looked profound and low-key but no less extravagant.

In some ways, the Chinese-style interior was more polished than either the American or British styles around the house.

How much did it cost to fit a whole room with hardwood?

There were two rows of large bookcases in the study. The value of those books was no less than half of the country's central library.

A few tables and guest couches were the only other things in the room. It was simple but sleek and almost minimalist.

It was the style Movie King Mo favoured.

"Alright, alright. We should head to our next stop. Ningning is going to show everyone his room!"

Ningning's room was one befitting his age: it was causal and carefree. Ningning could not wait to show everyone his room.

"Ningning sleeps here. Mom chose the bedsheets, pillows and teddy bears for me."
