184: Hundreds of billions to buy a house, what kind of house do you want? !
Lin Ye waved his hand, collecting the remaining Candle Soul Flame in the room, leaving only a set of shimmering equipment on the carpet.
“Mythical Set?”
Lin Ye had noticed that Mitsui Satoshi’s equipment was quite good, which was why he chose to deal with him personally instead of directly blasting him into oblivion.
“Come in first.”
As soon as Oriental Pride Snow entered, she asked, “I just asked the Special Operations Department, and they didn’t see anything. There were no traces even when checking surveillance. Do you know what method they used?”
Lin Ye put away the equipment and shook his head slightly.
Thump!
Oriental Pride Snow’s pupils constricted, and she said in astonishment, “Even you don’t know?”
Lin Ye was not a god, it was impossible for him to know everything, but right now, he was in a situation where he had to be a god and had to know everything.
He couldn't afford to make a mistake.
Nor could he afford to lose.
He had originally thought that even if he couldn’t play the game, he could still live a quiet life as a rich man.
It seemed there was no chance now.
The path ahead.
There was only one!
That was to revive the Eternal Empire.
Only then.
Could he preserve everything he currently possessed.
Otherwise...
Lin Ye didn't think much further and said directly:
“There are three things you need to know now.”
“1. eternal NPCs, including gods, can cross over into reality. True Shadow and the Hell forces should all be able to do so.”
“2. eternal is not a game, so the mysterious abilities within it, including but not limited to faith, dreams, shadows, prophecy, curses, and a series of things you can think of that might exist, are all within its scope.”
“3…”
Lin Ye pulled Oriental Pride Snow into his embrace, gently stroked her cheek, and softly said, “As long as you’re by my side, you’re absolutely safe, understand?”
Mmm~
Oriental Pride Snow struggled slightly, feeling a bit unaccustomed, but her thoughts were already exploding.
“eternal NPCs crossing into reality?”
“And extraordinary abilities like dreams, faith, and curses?”
“Is…is this the end of the world?!”
Oriental Pride Snow looked up at Lin Ye, and just as she was about to speak, her lips were completely sealed by Lin Ye.
After a long while…
Lin Ye finally let her go and said heavily, “Regarding matters outside, if you can avoid participating, then don’t, because it’s not something you can participate in. Just stay by my side, understand?”
Oriental Pride Snow felt a warmth in her heart. She had always been the one protecting others; when had she ever needed others to protect her?
But.
The problems she faced now truly made her feel powerless.
The extraordinary power from eternal was simply something she couldn't contend with.
The confidence she had just gained from her S-rank talent.
Collapsed in an instant.
The opponent's abilities were completely incomprehensible.
Shadows?
An extraordinary method that could kill people using shadows, wasn't that like a ghost?
Could…could she really resist this?
One must know.
She didn't even have a way to attack shadows or ghosts.
Thinking of this.
No matter how tough she was, she had to soften by three points, leaning into Lin Ye’s embrace and murmuring:
“eternal…doesn’t eternal care?”
“Hellfire, soul abilities, shadows, curses…these are all things that current players can’t deal with; they don’t even have the slightest means of resistance.”
Lin Ye directly denied it.
“Don’t dream.”
“Even if it’s a world-destroying ability, if others have it, they have it.”
“The real world also doesn’t have any officials or designers, and it certainly won’t immediately start weakening someone just because they’re overpowered and rampaging through the game.”
“If you think it’s unfair, you can choose not to play, but there will absolutely be no changes because of your complaints.”
Thump!
Oriental Pride Snow’s delicate body trembled: “This…this is much crueler than reality~”
In reality, there was at least some fairness.
Perhaps in eternal, too.
“Order Alliance?”
Oriental Pride Snow suddenly remembered something.
“We can use the positive forces within eternal! It’s not like there are no complaint channels at all!”
The theory was correct.
It was a method.
But Lin Ye…it was truly difficult for him to operate with such forces.
Even a slight oversight.
Could make them mortal enemies.
“You can go figure out a way; you don’t need to involve me.”
Lin Ye thought to himself.
Among the three major forces.
The Magic Association had the most members.
The Order Alliance had fewer members; he hadn’t seen them yet.
And the Scarlet Sect was inherently extremely mysterious, so not encountering them was normal.
Outside the door.
Ms. Bai and the others had also logged off.
“Perfect, I have time today, let’s change locations.”
Lin Ye certainly couldn't stay in a hotel.
The personnel were too concentrated.
He would also have to consider the range when taking action.
“Go home?”
Bai Shuya asked.
“No, that’s not suitable either.” Lin Ye mused, “Is there a large villa area where it would be difficult for hostile forces to infiltrate, but I wouldn’t have to worry too much when taking action?”
Bai Shuya thought for a moment. The current place was indeed not very suitable, so she immediately said, “How about Zen Palace? If we take it all, about 20 billion should be enough.”
“Let’s go with that.”
Lin Ye said directly, “I’ll pay. Buy it all. As for the surrounding residents, Ao Xue, go and persuade them. Don’t waste time. Move today, right now.”
Residents?
Bai Shuya rolled her eyes.
Could people who lived in villas worth three to five hundred million be considered common folk?
However.
Lin Ye was now spending 1 billion gold coins at once.
If calculated seriously.
The gold coins Lin Ye currently had were worth at least over a trillion, and that didn't even include equipment, materials, or any other assets.
Compared to him…
Then everyone else truly was just a common person.
“Instead of choosing that, it’s better to choose the opposite, West Suburb Hotel.” Oriental Pride Snow’s eyes darted around as she suggested, “It’s right across the street, at least several times larger, with fewer buildings and an open view.”
It wasn’t that Lin Ye didn’t know such a place would be better, but the nature was different, so he simply said:
“Alright, you go negotiate. One word: money is not an issue.”
Then he said to Ms. Bai.
“Why don’t we just buy a few residential areas nearby and block off the roads? It’ll save trouble in the future. As for the price, several hundred billion should be more than enough, right?”
Pfft!~
Everyone present simultaneously spat out their drinks.
Several hundred billion?
To buy houses…
What kind of houses do you want?
Can you consider my house?
It wasn’t just Ms. Bai who couldn’t accept it.
Even Oriental Pride Snow was stunned: “You…how much money do you actually have? Spending like this, aren’t you afraid of going bankrupt?!”
“Ah? Are you already worried about me going bankrupt?”
Lin Ye asked back playfully.
Oriental Pride Snow’s pretty face immediately flushed, and she gritted her teeth, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay the bills!”
Lin Ye directly transferred 4 billion gold coins to her.
“Is that enough?”
Uh…
4 billion!
Gold coins?
Can…can gold coins really have that many digits?
Oh my goodness~
How much money would that convert to?
Oriental Pride Snow suddenly couldn't do the math anymore.
Lin Ye then said, “Settle it at market price for me, any problems?”
“Market price…what…no, no problem!”
Oriental Pride Snow suddenly reacted.
With so many gold coins, there was no need to calculate the price at all.
Whoever dared to sell, they dared to buy.
The pressure of reality nowadays was so immense; as long as it was gold coins, no matter how much came, they could consume it all!
And for them, the more gold coins, the better!
If you asked them what they lacked.
Then they lacked a lot.
But if they had to name one thing.
It was only gold coins!
eternal was so vast, with so much equipment; as long as you had gold coins, what couldn’t you buy?
You could truly buy anything!
In one fell swoop, all military supplies were replenished, allowing them to fight openly without holding back!
“Good, good, good, take it, take it! No matter what kind of approval slip, I can approve it; no matter what kind of matter, I can handle it. You just need to agree, and immediately get me those gold coins!”
When Ling Wei heard this number, his mouth almost twisted into a grin.
This matter, ah, you really had to find the right person to handle it!
Tsk tsk tsk!
A full 4 billion gold coins, ah~
Such a terrifying number.
It wasn’t something you could just buy if you had money.
The gold coins of all players in the entire empire combined wouldn’t be much larger than this number.
Demon Lord?
He truly was too powerful!
