I finally get my own Bedroom!

Cao Tai POV

Once I managed to get some plans together and Violet no longer looked like she was going to pound Naamha into dust, which was an amazing diplomatic and charismatic feat if I do say so myself.

Of course she made me promise that I won't be bringing anyone else for a while, but I don't think I would dare, and certainly not if they're as odd as Naamha, but now I must focus on something that is equally important, how in the world I'm going to fit all the stuff I need into this small walled home.

"Now! That's one thing finished! I just need to expand the base to fit… hmmm" I mutter, before finally trailing off.

I think I'm going to need to build three more bedrooms, one more bathroom, build some storage, a larger kitchen, and other stuff that I've forgotten about. There are two questions I still have on my mind.

One of them is, how much will it cost? I have roughly 40 thousand Magical Essence, but I believe that I'm going to need to expand my walls to fit everything else, or else I'll have to place the storage outside these current walls.

As I open the door to the outside world, make three large laps around the interior of my walled refuge, roughly seventy meters by seventy meters, I take up a little more than thirty meters by forty meters already, quite a bit of space if I say so myself, and I estimate the final dimensions of the new rooms would be roughly sixty meters by fifty meters.

The expansion will make the hall longer and four more bedrooms, to keep the symmetry, and at the very end of the hallway, I'll make a huge kitchen. After all, I'm planning to have a small storage inside of the kitchen as well as create enough space to fit a lot of kitchen appliances.

That means that I can remove the smaller kitchen that was super small, I wonder how you do it. Hey System, do you know how to do it?

<To destroy that room you would need 1,000 Magical Essence as well as emptying the room of all appliances that you wish to keep, the deconstruction of this room would take approximately 3 and a half minutes.

OK, I'm going to need help carrying the stove top and the furnace which is acting as the burner, but I'll enlist Benzaiten's aid on helping me carry those, for now, I'll simply build the storage rooms, and put the storage plan on the back burner.

<To expand the hallway by ten more meters will cost 8,500 Magical Essence, would you like to proceed? Y/N>

Yes.

<Construction began, Estimated Time Remaining, eight and a half minutes>

<To build a kitchen with these specifications will cost 15,000 Magical Essence, would you like to proceed? Y/N>

Yes.

<Construction began, Estimated Time Remaining, fifteen minutes>

<To build two bedrooms with these specifications will cost 25,000 Magical Essence, would you like to proceed? Y/N>

<Construction began, Estimated Time Remaining, twenty five minutes>

<Also, for your information, you currently have 245,000 Magical Essence, you got this from completing the quest, Reach Cultivation Rank 4!>

Oh, thats nice, but now to get Benzaiten, where could she possibly be?

I peer into all the rooms, no Benzaiten, where could she be..? I turn around, partially expecting to see Benzaiten looking at me like she was waiting for me to call her.

But no, there was no Benzaiten there, I walk all the way down the hall and make a mental note to make another door in the Kitchen.

Once I reach the door I open it and call out, "BENZAITEN!!!"

On my left there was a soft thud, making me think it was Sasha landing poorly but when I peer around to see if it was Sasha, to my shock it was Benzaiten.

"There you are, I need you to help me with something, come with me," I order, before returning inside my expanding home.

Following close behind me, she asks, "What do you need help with?"

"I need you to help me carry something, and since your duty is to be my bodyguard or something, I thought that you were the perfect person to help me do the job, don't you think?" I explain.

She nods in affirmation and follows me back into the former kitchen, fortunately the cooking equipment so far wasn't too heavy, so we moved all the supplies with relative ease into the hallway to wait for the upgrades to finish, when my attention was pulled away from my future plans to upgrade the storage by a familiar sounding cry from a large eagle.
