63: Golden rooms are expensive? I want them all!!!
"Brother Han, are you ready? My beast pet is already in position!"
"Brother Yang, shouldn't we wait a bit longer? There's only a 99% success rate right now!"
"Damn! Brother Han, what are you afraid of with 99%? Listen to me, this group of Beast King BOSS must be ambushed and killed!"
Ever since Yang Qianshi and Han Xiaoli met by chance and formed a party, the two began working together, ambushing and killing quite a few Dragon Monsters.
However, Yang Qianshi couldn't quite stand Han Xiaoli's excessive caution.
Unless the probability was above 90%, he wouldn't plan to act; often, even with a 90% probability, he would turn around and run.
This time, it was rare to encounter a BOSS squad, so they had to take them down no matter what!
For this reason, Yang Qianshi couldn't help but curse: "Brother Han, why do you always want to run away at the slightest provocation? You might as well change your name to Han the Runner."
"Ahem! It's just my nature. I don't know why, but I always feel unsafe unless I'm absolutely certain. However, the name 'Han the Runner' isn't bad."
Yang Qianshi: "..."
At this moment, Han Xiaoli stopped retreating, and a rare glint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yang Qianshi finally showed a satisfied smile.
Not long ago, the two encountered a team composed of Beast King BOSS, and they got the idea to ambush and kill the BOSS.
Therefore, they specifically lured them to a designated valley location.
"Do it!" Seeing that the time was right, Yang Qianshi immediately gave a reminder.
Han Xiaoli instinctively frowned, his body involuntarily retreating a bit more, leaving Yang Qianshi in the very front, and then he quietly ordered the [Sky-Devouring Worm] to gnaw on the underground rocks.
Not long after, the ground suddenly collapsed.
The Beast King BOSS squad didn't react in time and collectively fell into the deep rock pit!
At the same time, Yang Qianshi stood up and laughed: "Hahaha, you Beast Race scum, you're finished. Old Hei, it's time for you to take the stage and perform!"
Woof!
The Black Emperor Hound took out a large loudspeaker from who knows where, took a deep breath, and then barked wildly. The sound was like a thunderclap, and the nearby Earth Dragon Monsters were immediately startled, swarming over one after another.
"Roar! You two damned bastards!" The leader, a Tier 5 Beast King BOSS, glared at the two schemers, Yang Qianshi and Han Xiaoli, from the bottom of the pit.
Before long, a great battle broke out here.
Facing a large number of Dragon Monsters, although the Beast King BOSS squad was strong, they only faced the fate of total annihilation.
Meanwhile, Yang Qianshi utilized the effect of a resurrection coin to collect the items dropped by the BOSS.
"Brother Yang, how did you manage to snatch the items dropped by the Beast King BOSS from within the horde of Dragon Monsters just now?"
"Hehehe, that's my top secret; I can't reveal it!"
At this moment, a notification for the location of the Safe City popped up!
Yang Qianshi was stunned for a second, then grinned and said: "Hehehe, Brother Han, do you want to come with me to the Safe City?"
"Hm? You know the location of the Safe City?" Han Xiaoli's eyes lit up.
"That's natural. Don't look at who I am; following me, Big Brother, is guaranteed to be right!" Yang Qianshi's nature of showing off was once again fully exposed.
Thus, the two snuck away from the rock valley.
As for Han Xiaoli, if he didn't know that Yang Qianshi's guild leader was Qin Yun, he would never have formed a party with this guy who loved to show off.
The scene shifts.
Safe City.
Inside the hall.
Qin Yun was in the warm and pleasant hall, drinking top-grade Dragon Whisker Tea brewed by the City Lord himself, enjoying the special services of Sarata, Bili Si, and a crowd of NPCs, as if he were the master of this great city—how carefree!
Meanwhile, everyone else was either on the run for their lives or in the midst of a bitter battle. If they knew about Qin Yun's treatment, they would likely have a collective mental breakdown. They had all entered together, so why was the gap so large?
"Senior City Lord, I would like to purchase housing first. Do you have any good houses to recommend?" Qin Yun began preparing for a massive purchase. Once finished, he could first complete a Tier 4 quest; by then, everyone else would probably have arrived.
The Aiboli City Lord immediately opened the Safe City map, which marked all the houses available for sale.
"Young Friend Qin, houses are divided into three categories. The first category is the Gold location, situated right next to the City Lord's Hall, with all surrounding facilities fully equipped; naturally, the price is the most expensive. The second category is the Silver location, near the trading market, where our clansmen sell various private items. The third category is the Bronze location, near the edge of the city wall; the houses are quite simple, and the price is the cheapest."
After hearing the City Lord's introduction, Qin Yun took a glance. These houses all had clear prices: Gold houses were 100,000 gold per square meter, Silver houses were 50,000 gold coins per square meter, and Bronze houses were 10,000 gold coins per square meter.
Moreover, the number of these houses for sale was limited and couldn't be purchased at will; after all, NPCs also needed places to live.
At this time, Qin Yun noticed that most of the houses in the Bronze location were marked as sold: "Senior City Lord, who bought these houses?"
"They were bought by the Beast King BOSS; they are very rich! Every time the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land opens, they come to buy quite a few items on the last day. They are our main trading partners." The Aiboli City Lord did not hide this and revealed the buyer information to Qin Yun, which could be considered a gesture of goodwill.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun wasn't very surprised because the Beast Race Royal Family was a major clan with deep foundations; it was normal for them to have so many gold coins to buy houses.
In that case, it seemed the Beast Race Royal Family should know the location of the Safe City; he guessed they were all currently farming Dragon Monsters on the Dragon Vein Corridor Map side.
In fact, it was just as Qin Yun thought, except this group of Beast Race Royal Family members were currently cursing; they were farming Dragon Monsters just fine, but inexplicably, the Dragon Monsters had all been swallowed by the Heavenly Abyss.
This left them unable to encounter a single Dragon Monster, so they had to return to the Safe City first.
"Senior City Lord, my amount of gold coins is limited. Can you give me a discount?" Qin Yun smiled like a sly fox.
The Aiboli City Lord was very generous! He laughed heartily. With a wave of his hand, he gave Qin Yun a 30% discount. In his view, it would be the absolute limit if Qin Yun could buy one more house.
After all, this was a world where gold coins were paramount, and there weren't many ways to obtain them; it was still very difficult to obtain a large amount of gold coins.
Even among the Human Race, other races, or even NPCs, the richest individuals didn't actually have an astonishing amount of gold coins. To sum it up in one sentence, most people were broke!
"Senior City Lord, you are truly generous. I admire you!"
After saying this, Qin Yun immediately took action, purchasing all the available houses in the Gold location, fearing that the Aiboli City Lord might change his mind.
【Ding, you spent 70 million gold coins and successfully purchased ten Gold houses in the Safe City!】
These houses were all a uniform 100 square meters, but they contained independent dimensional rooms inside.
Each Gold house had 30 independent dimensional rooms, Silver houses had 15, and Bronze houses had 5!
In other words, a Gold house could accommodate 30 people, and the room facilities were well-equipped.
After possessing an occupancy permit, although one could not directly teleport to this Safe City like the house owner, one could know the location of the Safe City and choose to live in the city permanently; this was the greatest benefit of purchasing a house.
The Aiboli City Lord and other NPCs, who had been full of smiles, suddenly looked as if their parents had died, each of them stunned. What had they just seen?
This Divine-Grade youth had actually purchased ten Gold houses in one go. These Gold houses were just a gimmick they used to attract outsiders to purchase other houses; there were only ten for sale in total.
A Gold house cost ten million gold coins; no sucker would spend that many gold coins just to buy a single house.
But they hadn't expected that Qin Yun would purchase all ten Gold houses in one go.
Pfft! At this moment, the Aiboli City Lord spat out a mouthful of old blood internally. He had been careless.
He hadn't paid attention to the other party's purchasing power and had foolishly given him a 30% discount, losing 30 million gold coins in vain. This was 30 million gold coins; the supplies it could purchase would be enough for their clan to survive for many years.
At this moment, the Aiboli City Lord realized why Qin Yun had said he was generous, and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked and suspicious.
What was this kid's background, exactly? Why did he have so many gold coins?
