MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter
Chapter 696 - Uses of a House
Jiang Feng looked at the Shifter-Drooling Pickle Flavored Instant Noodles that he had drawn in his hand.
It was around the size of a large-sized Master Kang Spicy Marinated Beef Noodles. He could smell some of the fragrance through the packaging.
“How… What a strong and fragrant smell! Boss, what’s that in your hand? Can you give me a bite?” The Lunar Wolf King, Li’er, and Yinke’s horse had all gotten the scent of that aroma. The Lunar Wolf King and horse both stopped dead in their tracks and looked at the Shifter-Drooling Pickle Flavored Instant Noodles in Jiang Feng’s hand, drooling.
“Gimme, gimme!” Li’er said excitedly as she wiped her saliva.
Jiang Feng was slightly shocked looking at the Lunar Wolf King, Li’er, and even the horse all drooling.
He did not expect that the Shifter-Drooling Pickle Flavored Instant Noodles would be so alluring, making them all so excited.
Roar!
At this time, there were some excited roars coming from the forest from both sides of the path.
Jiang Feng was shocked enough to immediately put the Shifter-Drooling Pickle Flavored Instant Noodles into the Golden Dragon Ring, and he told the Lunar Wolf King urgently, “Let’s go now! If we’re surrounded by monsters, no one’s going to get to eat it!”
The Lunar Wolf King nodded as it began to run, its speed even far surpassing its previous speed.
Yinke’s horse did the same as it ran for its life.
“Jiang Feng, what’s that in your hand? Why would it cause such a commotion?” Yinke asked Jiang Feng curiously as she rode the horse.
Jiang Feng shrugged and said, “A type of soup noodles made with herbal medicine. It’s incredibly alluring for monsters!”
He did not say that he got it through the lottery from the Monster Transmutation System.
Yinke did not look like someone bad, but he had to maintain some level of vigilance against others.
The Monster Transmutation System was his ace in the hole, the fewer the people who knew about it, the better.
“That Shifter-Drooling Pickle Flavored Instant Noodles is quite good. Next time if I can’t find any monsters to kill, all I need to do is to take it out and I would have an endless number of monsters to kill!” Jiang Feng let out a faint smile as he remembered the commotion that the Shifter-Drooling Pickle Flavored Instant Noodles had caused.
From his perspective, while the Monster Transmutation System’s lottery ability had changed, the items that he could get were still useful.
***
After half an hour had passed, they finally arrived at Xiayi City.
“You should go sign up first, I want to go take a look at house prices,” Yinke said to Jiang Feng as she was quite excited to have come to this unexplored city.
“House prices?” Jiang Feng asked Yinke curiously.
Yinke then explained, “In the Great World of Tianji, the prices of houses within unexplored cities are quite low. Once they have been explored, the prices for houses would be greatly inflated. Possessing one’s own home brings great benefits within the Great World of Tianji.”
“What benefits?” Jiang Feng. Yinke was like an encyclopedia on the Great World of Tianji. She seemed to know everything.
He had a large amount of gold and some treasures with him. If the benefits of owning one’s own house were substantial, he would not mind buying one.
“There are plenty of benefits. For example, you can have your own personal storeroom where you can save items, a good home can increase the speed of your training, and you can also set the exit of the gateway to that house so you don’t need to be afraid that someone would notice you entering or exiting the game. Not to mention that if you decide to bring anyone with you here from your planet, you can directly bring them to your house as long as they use their real body. There would not be any newbie test for them.”
“Also, there are alchemical ateliers and workshops, and even farmlands within your house. You can be self-sufficient. I heard that if you can find Teleport Crystals, you can even draw your own Teleportation Circle and connect to other locations that have already been explored. That’s all I know and there are countless benefits to buying houses.”
Adjusting the Tianji Gateway’s entrance! Teleportation Circle!
Jiang Feng was becoming very interested.
Even without all the other benefits of owning a house, he had already decided to buy a house just because he was able to have a Tianji Gateway within his own house.
As long as he had a home, there would be no need for him to sneak into the Tianji Hall ever again as he no longer needed to be afraid of being discovered.
Another thing was that when he entered Divine Dominion, his physical body within the Great World of Tianji would also be safer.
“I’ll come with you.”
When he thought of that, he was going to go see the house prices together with Yinke. As for signing up, he had time for that later.
Every city had its own governing agency, and that was the government. They protected the locals and players within the city.
Of course, buying houses was also under their purview.
If he wanted to buy a house, he would need to find the Property Managers.
After a while, they had finally found the Property Manager.
The Property Manager was an old man that was small and short like a gnome.
“We want to see the house prices of Xiayi city,” Yinke said to the old man with a smile.
The old man wore a pair of far-sighted glasses, and he glanced at Yinke and Jiang Feng. He then took out a map and gave it to Yinke, saying, “This is the map of the homes that are available for sale in Xiayi City. The West, South, and North are mostly single-bedroom homes. There are 90 of them. To the east are 10 mansions with courtyards. The prices are all here. Once you have finished choosing, all you need to do is pay me and I can then go through the paperwork for you.”
Jiang Feng and Yinke looked at the homes on the map.
On the map, the prices for each house and each square were stated.
Single-bedroom homes were priced at 1,500 gold pieces each square while the mansions with courtyards were priced at 3,500 gold pieces each square. They were indeed not that expensive.
Single-bedroom homes were around 50 squares while a mansion with a courtyard was around 300 squares. That meant that homes for a single person would require 75,000 gold pieces, while a mansion with a courtyard would require 1,050,000 gold pieces.
Yinke frowned as she looked at the prices. “I didn’t expect that the city’s price would be so expensive.”
It was obvious that she could not even afford a single home with the amount of gold she had in hand.
Jiang Feng then said to the old man, “If I buy a home here, can I use items to contra the price?”
While he had very high net worth, the number of gold pieces that he had was still limited. He wanted to buy a mansion with a courtyard, but he did not have that many gold coins with him. Therefore, he wanted to sell everything that he did not want.
The old man then pointed outside the door and said, “There is a pawnshop just opposite. You can go and exchange your items for gold before coming here to buy a house.” Jiang Feng looked outside and indeed, there was a pawn shop just outside.
He put down the map in his hand and headed out. Yinke gave it a thought and followed him.
“Boss, do you accept secret manuals, herbal medicine, and equipment?” Once he arrived at the pawnshop, he asked an old man on the opposite side of the windowed counter.
The middle-aged old man nodded. “Of course.”
Next, Jiang Feng took out a Mid-Yellow Rank Secret Manual, ten medicinal herbs that he did not find much use for, two Upper-Black Realm Beast Pills and dozens of treasures, and then asked the old man, “How much would you pay for these?”
The old man looked at all of the valuable items with interest and quickly began to calculate.
Yinke looked at the items with shock before moving her sight onto Jiang Feng.
She could not understand how Jiang Feng was able to collect so many things.
A Mid-Yellow Rank Secret Manual had a market price of 150,000, an Upper-Black Realm Beast Pill had a market price of at least 100,000. The dozens of treasures had a Supreme-Heaven Rank Treasure among them, and it was worth at least 500,000. The ten medicinal herbs could be sold for around 400,000. In total, they could be sold for around 1,000,000.
For someone like Yinke, this was too ridiculous an amount!
“I can give you 900,000 for everything here!”
“1,000,000!”
“It’s a deal!”
When Yinke saw that Jiang Feng was selling for 1,000,000, she instantly became nervous and said, “Jiang Feng, all these things here could reach a total of around 1,300,000! You’re making too great a loss by selling it for 1,000,000!”
The old man then gave Yinke a glare and said, “Little girl, if you want to sell to me all of these items here for 1,300,000, I can give you my pawnshop too!”
“1,000,000 is fine.”
In the end, Jiang Feng received 1,000,000 gold pieces.
Looking at Yinke who had regret written all over her face, he smiled. “I got them all from others. 1,000,000 is already good enough. Come on, let’s go buy a house!”
Next, he went back to the Property Manager’s place and bought a mansion at a good location.
Yinke looked at Jiang Feng buying a mansion with a courtyard without batting an eye, envy filled up her eyes. She then said to Jiang Feng, “Do you have any more gold pieces? Can you lend me 40,000?”
“There are plenty of rooms in my mansion. A one-person home is too small, come live with me in my mansion. All you need to do is to help me clean up a bit,” Jiang Feng said.
Even though he bought the house, he probably would not stay here for long. Since that was the case, he might as well have Yinke live with him so that she could help clean up and manage the place. He could also make her owe him one.
Yinke hesitated for a while before nodding and said, “Alright, but once I have some money, I will buy one for myself.”
