Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 1

Volume 1 - Chapter 14: You asked for it

"Hm, how come there's no answer? It's around 12 right now, so it should be lunch time. My dad and the others are remodeling right now and they usually take a break during the noon, so he should be able to answer the phone" Luo Feng looked doubtfully at his cell phone's screen and pressed the 'Cell Phone Location Searcher Function'. The screen of the phone quickly displayed a map of Yang Zhou city. The small red dot on the map represented Luo Feng's cell phone's location, while the small green dot represented his father's.

"Not too far from where I am now"

Luo Feng knew in an instant where his father's current location is and couldn't help but to let out a smile, "I'll run to my dad's side and tell him in person about the good news"

Luo Feng quickly went to the location displayed on the cell phone's map.

Zhi-An region, Sky Garden sector.

"Hurry, hurry and move those things so you can go take a break and eat lunch. We should go eat some food too" In one of the private villa's lawns in the sector, Zhang Hao Bai, pale and wearing long, white pants, urged the workers on. He even had three cold faced bodyguards by his side.

"Mister, don't rush, this furniture is extremely valuable. Don't underestimate it, get some more people and work a bit harder!" A truck was parked by the private lawn and had a lot of sealed wooden furniture.

Wooden furniture in these days are extremely valuable and expensive. They are a luxury item which belong to few.

Because, all the humans live in cities. There are very few places to plant trees, and most of trees are for decoration. Although there are many trees outside the city, many monsters are there too. The price for lumber is extremely high, since you will have to fight monsters to get it.

Most people's furniture these days are made out of plastic, while some of the better ones are made out of glass.

A normal family wouldn't be able to afford wood products.

"Be careful"

The remodeling company's workers carefully moved the heavy furniture from the truck to the ground. After that, three of the workers would carefully move the furniture into the lawn.

"Be careful" Zhang Hao Bai frowned and reminded, "This is furniture made out of real, high quality wood. If you break it, you'll surely get in trouble with your boss"

[HU, HU]

The three workers carefully moved the furniture. The furniture was extremely valuable and heavy, around a thousand kg. It's a bit of work for these three workers to move it.

"Stop and rest for a bit. Move it into the house in one breath later" The worker lifting in front ordered, "Put it down here for now. Slowly, lightly" The three workers slowly put the furniture on the lawn. Only after doing so were they able to straighten their backs and take a good breath of air.

"Old Luo, I'm already hungry after doing that" A tall worker started stretching his body.

"After moving this and two more pieces of furniture, we'll be done. After that, we can all eat together" Luo Hong Guo laughed as he looked at the two other workers. He wiped his sweat off with his shirt. It was June and almost 1 PM, so it was the hottest time of the day.

For the three of them to move a valuable piece of furniture that weighs 1000 kg, it surely was bitter work.

"Work faster!" Zhang Hao Bai ordered impatiently.

"Aight" Luo Hong Guo bended down to grab onto the furniture, "Guys, work hard and move this piece of furniture in"

"Come, one, two, three, up!"
