After all, the training ground in the backyard was not completely completed before the new semester, and the main building and decoration were completed, mainly because some equipment needed to be customized.

After all, with Link's current physical fitness, the exercise equipment suitable for ordinary people can no longer meet Link's needs, and many machines need to be customized, which is one of the reasons why Link decided to get a training place for himself.

However, under the effect of banknote ability, Link's tailor-made equipment is still in place as quickly as possible, and at the same time, various related experts have also begun to serve Link.

From hand-to-hand combat, the use of cold weapons, and the use of firearms, to flying helicopters and tanks, special environment operations, covert infiltration, tactical layout, and so on, from theory to actual combat exercises, Link has learned from theory.

The money was spent like flowing water, and Link's abilities were also increased across the board, and even the basic attributes that had not changed for a long time began to grow again, and at the same time, there were many new skills on the system panel.

This went on until almost Christmas, Robert also took time off for the holidays, and Elizabeth also took advantage of the Christmas holidays to come to Link's side for Christmas.

Peggy didn't go back to Texas, so she came to the airport with Link to pick up the plane, the weather was good, the flight was not delayed, and the group arrived at noon.

Everyone met in the hall very jubilantly, and finally they were able to go far away, and it was Los Angeles, Bianca jumped and jumped excitedly, Elizabeth was also very happy, and Robert and Lisa greeted Peggy.

When he was about to get in the car, Robert looked at the parked extended Lincoln with some surprise: "This is your car?" ”

"Temporarily rented." Link said: "There are a lot of us, and ordinary cars can't fit it, so it's just right." ”

Robert nodded, and didn't say more, until he reached Link's house, Robert looked at the villa and was dumbfounded: "This is the little villa you mentioned earlier?" ”

This house is changed to the small town of Madfo, those slightly more affluent middle-class families can afford to live, anyway, the land is sparsely populated, and the land price and housing prices are cheap, but in Pasadena, and this is obviously a rich area, the price of the house is needless to say.

Link said before that he had bought a house in Pasadena, and Robert originally thought that he would have a small villa of more than 100 square meters at most, but he didn't expect it to really surprise him.

And after walking around the house, I also saw that the decoration and household appliances were not ordinary, they were all first-class goods on the market, just household appliances, he didn't eat or drink for two years, and his salary couldn't afford it.

After seeing the big bathtub, I was even more speechless, such a big bathtub would really enjoy it.

According to the habit in the United States, when children become adults, most of them have to work their own, and usually, parents will not carefully ask their children about their sources of income.

However, all this in front of Robert really surprised Robert, and he was even worried that Link was doing some kind of tricks, and Lisa asked on the spot, "Link, how can you afford such a house?" ”

Fortunately, Link had already prepared a rhetoric, saying that he had won some money in the casino and invested it in the financial markets, and at the same time asked Robert to take a look at one of his stock accounts.

This is one of Link's stock accounts, and it is also the one that was established in the first place, and Link didn't say anything about the Las Vegas VIP room, but just pulled out the history of the account and gave a brief explanation.

The funds on the account have gone from hundreds of thousands of dollars at the beginning to millions of dollars in just over a year.

Coupled with Link's explanation, the family finally understood why many Wall Street employees needed excellent math skills, and many big financial firms wanted to recruit top mathematicians.

didn't reveal all his assets, but it had already surprised the family, and Robert couldn't help but say:

"Damn it, compared to you, that stockbroker of mine is a piece of shit, he just caused me to lose more than 3,000 dollars in income, I should hand over the money to you to take care of."

The money Robert used to invest in stocks was supposed to pay for his children's college tuition, but Elizabeth and Link were very competitive and received full scholarships, and Bianca was three years away from college, so the money was not needed.

Robert simply chose to invest the money, but unfortunately his investment vision and skills are too poor.

Link only learned at this time that Robert had also invested in stocks: "It's not necessary, short-term investment requires too much energy, and I have to keep an eye on it all day long, and I have to focus on my studies next, so I have recently changed to long-term investment."

I can introduce you to a few companies' stocks, you pick a few to buy and then don't have to look at them, and when the sell-off comes, I will tell you in advance, and the yield will definitely be satisfactory. ”

After a brief chat about investment, everyone shifted the topic to another aspect, and Link also took out the ingredients that had been prepared in advance, and only needed to put them in the oven.

So, in the afternoon, everyone sat in the backyard, drinking drinks in the wind, and eating barbecue and chicken.

Peggy pulled Bianca and Elizabeth down the bathtub to play, giggling and fighting, and when she needed to eat, she called Link directly.

At night, including Peggy, they all slept in the small villa, and there was even an extra room, because Bianca was going to sleep with Peggy.

Link knew that most of the little girls of this age had a lot to talk about, and he didn't stop them, just told them not to sleep too late and go out to play tomorrow.

Robert looked at Peggy with a strange look on his face and beckoned Bianca to play in his room, and asked in a low voice, "Peggy still has a room with you?" She's not even fourteen years old. ”

Link immediately understood what he meant, and chuckled, "Peggy is actually a bit like Bianca to me. ”

Robert understood that this was what it meant to be a sister, at least now Link didn't have that kind of idea, so he was relieved.

At nine o'clock the next morning, everyone got up to wash up and have breakfast, and Link also said that the extended Lincoln would arrive soon, and for the next five days, everyone could go wherever they wanted.

When Bianca heard this, she immediately screamed excitedly: "Ahhhh ”

Link didn't stop her, just let her please anyway.

Lisa next to her was also full of longing: "It's okay to go to the Getty Art Center, right?" ”

Link smiled and nodded, "Of course you can." ”

Then seeing that Robert didn't say anything, he leaned in and whispered, "Do you want me to let the driver take you to the San Fernando Valley alone?" ”

"Fuck off!"

For several years, the family rarely went far away, especially when they came to Los Angeles, Robert and Lisa were fine, Elizabeth could clearly see that she was very happy, and Bianca was even more crazy, Bianca even said that she would come here to play with Link and Peggy after the holidays.

Unfortunately, Robert's vacation was limited, especially since he was still a sheriff, and it was not easy to have a long vacation, so after Christmas, on January 3rd, Link put the family on the return flight.

When saying goodbye, Bianca couldn't help crying, Elizabeth was also reluctant, Robert and Lisa were much better, just silently patted him on the shoulder, hugged him, and then said goodbye.

Link suggested that Robert move over to Los Angeles, but he didn't agree.

In fact, as long as Robert wants, Link can even operate on the side of the Los Angeles Police Department and transfer him over.

It's hard for ordinary people to do this, but it's not difficult for Link, it's nothing more than donating more to the LAPPD, as long as it's not a key position, there's always one to be vacated.
