Chen Yang's plan to buy a car moved to the forefront of his mind.
Once the house was done, it would be time to think about getting a car.
The thought of having both a house and a car made him smile—such a life seemed perfect.
Although the brick factory had closed for the day, the gates were still open.
He parked the van outside and walked in. Spotting someone, he approached and asked, "Excuse me, is the boss here?"
The worker replied, "Are you here to buy bricks?"
Chen Yang answered, "No, I'm here to buy clay."
"Clay isn't for sale."
"Then I'll buy bricks."
"Bricks? You'll have to come back tomorrow; the boss has already left."
"Could you give me his phone number?"
The worker, being amicable, readily gave it to him.
Chen Yang thanked him and dialed the boss's number: "Hello, are you at the brick factory?"
"Yes, who's calling?"
"This is Chen Yang."
"Ah, are you the one buying bricks? Come to the west side of the factory. There's a small house, I'm there."
After hanging up, Chen Yang walked to the west side of the factory.
In a short while, he saw the small house. Inside, he was greeted by a middle-aged man with a buzz cut.
"You must be Chen Yang?"
"Yes, that's me."
"Please, take a seat."
The boss was very polite and poured him a cup of tea.
Chen Yang then explained, "I'm here to buy some clay."
The boss gave him a curious look. "You need clay? Is it for personal use?"
"Yes, I'm building my house."
"Ah, from Chenjia Village?"
"Yes."
"Oh, I know that place." The boss paused before asking, "How much clay do you need?"
"About forty tons."
"Forty tons? That's a lot. What kind of house are you building?"
Chen Yang decided to show him the blueprint.
Upon seeing it, the boss was stunned.
"With this house, forty tons might not be enough."
"I think it should be enough," Chen Yang reassured him. "Forty tons of clay should produce around 300,000 bricks. A 100-square-meter house needs about 80,000 bricks. My house is single-story, but with a total area of nearly 300 square meters. Thirty thousand bricks should be sufficient, especially since I have a yard."
The boss was still amazed. "Well, when do you need it?"
"Tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll have it delivered. But you'll need to pay a deposit first."
Chen Yang understood and asked, "How much?"
The boss took out a calculator and crunched the numbers. "1,600 per ton, so forty tons will be 64,000."
"You can pay half now."
"Sure."
Chen Yang paid, received the receipt, and left.
Next, he went to the neighboring shop and rented a bulldozer.
After returning home and returning the van, Chen Yang took a cold shower.
Back in his room, he grabbed his phone and called Chu Chu.
"Chu Chu, I need to tell you something."
"Ah, Master Chen!" Chu Chu, who was out eating hotpot with her colleagues, greeted him excitedly.
"Tell me, I'm listening."
"It's about the house renovation. Over the next two weeks, I plan to demolish the current house and rebuild it."
"Wait, two weeks? Is that really enough time?"
"It's not too fast, actually. If I had more help, we could finish it in ten days."
"Hold on… you mean you're going to build the house yourself, in 15 days?"
"Yes."
For a moment, Chu Chu was speechless.
She thought Chen Yang was joking with her.
" Master Chen, this… this seems unrealistic, don't you think?"
"It's very realistic," Chen Yang replied confidently. "I'm calling you because I wanted to ask if the platform could help me with some promotion. We could use this house-building challenge as a way to get attention."
Chu Chu was quiet for a moment, then said, "We can do the promotion, but 15 days… do you really think you can finish it? What if it's not done in time?"
"It will be done."
"Okay, I'll need to talk to General Wu. I don't have the authority to make this decision on my own."
"No problem, I'll wait for your reply."
"Got it. By the way, your WeChat is your phone number, right? I'll add you now."
"Sure."
After hanging up, Chen Yang immediately received Chu Chu's friend request.
Chu Chu, ever efficient, quickly contacted General Wu.
When Wu heard about the challenge, his reaction was much like Chu Chu's.
Fifteen days to build a house? If anyone else had said it, Wu would have dismissed it as impossible.
But it was Chen Yang who said it, and that made all the difference.
This young man had already broken records in the livestreaming world, with up to 400,000 viewers at once.
Plus, everything he had done in recent days had been groundbreaking and unconventional.
After thinking it over for a while and smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, Wu decided to take a gamble on it.
That night, Chen Yang slept soundly.
Meanwhile, a video of him running through the forest with a huge water ash tree went viral online.
It had already been trending, but now it had shot to the top of the charts.
"Wow, I think I just saw Superman."
"Can't mess with this guy."
" Master Chen's silhouette running against the sunset is the youth I lost."
"Wait, yesterday I asked my friend if people could really do martial arts, and he said it was just a joke. Now I realize how clueless he was."
Foreign viewers were amazed by the video, and it was quickly shared on international forums.
Since it was daytime in the West, the video spread rapidly. In just two hours, it garnered over a million views.
"My God, this person, is he a god incarnate?"
"After analyzing the data, the ash tree is about 27 meters long with a diameter of 3.5 meters. Its estimated weight is 11 tons. This is insane. I'm never messing with this guy."
"This person is terrifying. I think I'll just stay in Africa, thanks."
Meanwhile, Chen Yang slept peacefully.
The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, he was about to start his livestream when he received a call from Chu Chu.
"Hello, Master Chen, General Wu has decided to feature you in a special column today."
"Great, thank you."
"Good luck!"
"I'll give it my all."
After hanging up, Chen Yang didn't rush to start his livestream.
Instead, he opened the Feiyu Platform app.
On the screen, there was a huge banner showing a screenshot of Chen Yang running with the water ash tree.
He couldn't help but feel speechless.
Couldn't they use a better image?
The banner read: " Master Chen challenges to build a villa in 15 days!"
Inside, there was a countdown.
The promotion was fantastic. Chen Yang gave it a thumbs-up.
Then, he started the livestream.
"Good morning, everyone."
"Starting today, for the next 15 days, you will witness me building a brand-new house all by myself."
"Let's get started. The first thing we need to do is demolish the old house!"
