"Delicious!" Ling Ping'an finished his breakfast happily, patted his round belly, and leaned back in his chair happily.
Meow!
The kitten, who also shared two steamed crab dumplings, meowed softly, expressing its approval of its master's praise.
He looked up and saw the news on the television.
"The spokesperson of the Federal Empire's Ministry of Education said at a press conference this morning that the preparations for this year's college entrance examination are being carried out in an orderly manner... It is expected that this year's college entrance examination will start from the Xisong Kingdom, followed by the metropolitan territory, Beizhou, and Nanzhou..."
"It is estimated that this year's college entrance examination candidates will reach 31.5 million … slightly higher than last year …"
Looking at the famous universities of the Federal Empire flashing on the news screen.
Great Xia Central University, Federal University of Technology, Imperial Industrial School, Guangnan University …
Ling Ping'an sighed.
"Back in the day, I was also determined to get into a first-rate school …"
However, in the end, his mathematics, physics, and chemistry were too bad, so he could only go to a second-rate university.
And this was all thanks to the protection of his parents!
Thinking of this, the former grand scholar felt a little embarrassed and turned off the television.
When he walked out of the door, he heard Aunt Cai talking to her neighbor about how hardworking her daughter was.
"Let me tell you …"
"My daughter has been working very hard recently …"
"I read books every day … practice questions …"
"My son is the same!" The neighbor next door also sighed. "This year, the children around here are especially hardworking …"
"I heard that … it's because our geomancy here is good. It's the land of Literati Star!"
"En …" Aunt Cai said casually, "I heard about it too …"
"I won't hide it from you …"
"The prices of the houses nearby seem to have increased recently …"
"The Zhang Clan's old house on the street in front was just sold yesterday … 30,000 yuan per square meter!"
The other party sucked in a breath of cold air. "Thirty thousand per square meter? Old Zhang's old house? "
"Yes!" Aunt Cai said, "Someone also came to inquire about my house … The first price was 40,000 yuan …"
"But I refused!"
"My daughter is taking her college entrance exam next year …"
Ling Ping'an was a little surprised as he listened.
Because he knew about the Zhang family that Aunt Cai was talking about.
Behind this alley was an old house from decades ago. It was not facing the street, and the wiring was old.
At most, it was worth twenty thousand yuan per square meter!
Those who were willing to buy it were probably waiting for the demolition to take a gamble!
After all, this was an old industrial area.
The infrastructure was very backward and could not be compared to the new district.
As for Aunt Cai's house, Ling Ping'an was also familiar with it!
This street led to the south side of the old industrial park. After making a turn, it was in the old dormitory of the former management office of the industrial park.
It was the kind of tube-shaped apartment that was built decades ago. There were no elevators or property management.
The walls were covered with creepers, and the stairwell was covered with layers and layers of small advertisements.
In the past, it was at most twenty thousand.
How did it rise to 40,000?
The new district in the new district should only be around 60,000 yuan, right?
This made Ling Ping'an's heart pound when he heard this.
He hurried back to the shop.
"Bastet..." he hugged his pet and stroked his fur. "Brother\'s total assets seem to have increased again!"
This shop was an ancestral property.
This meant that even the land was his.
Therefore, as long as he was willing to sell it, it would be worth at least tens of millions.
Now …
The surrounding housing prices were rising. Naturally, the price of his shop would rise as well.
And his net worth would naturally be …
"I am indeed the chosen one!" The young bookstore owner was extremely happy.
However, he was just happy for a while.
He didn\'t mean anything else.
He really didn\'t have much interest in money!
As long as he had enough to spend!
His creed in life was to eat and wait for death, to win on an equal footing.
Moreover, what would he do with a large sum of money after selling the bookstore?
Wasn\'t it the same as now, playing games and writing novels?
Since that was the case, why bother?
Therefore, Ling Ping'an was just happy for a while.
… …
He Rourou raised her head and looked at the property in front of her that she had just bought.
The corners of the Lion City princess\'s mouth curled up slightly.
"My investment will definitely make a huge profit!" She was full of confidence. Then, she turned to look at the servant beside her and said, "Continue to speed up the acquisition of nearby properties..."
"Buy as much as you can!"
"Yes!" The loyal servant hurriedly nodded.
No one had any objections to the Lion City princess\'s decision.
Because in the past few years, this young lady had already used successful mergers and acquisitions and transactions to convince everyone.
The industries she invested in could always make money!
Walking to the old staircase, He Rourou looked at the dilapidated courtyard downstairs.
She smiled softly. "It\'s worth it! It\'s worth it! "
This old house belonged to the kind of old unit building.
It was the former staff building of a processing plant, but the factory had already moved, and the remaining dormitory building could only be used for rent.
However, with the decline of the old city area and the rise of the new city area.
This place didn\'t receive much rent, and it was basically unattended.
And now, He Rourou spent 300 million yuan to buy the entire courtyard and parking lot of this dormitory building!
She knew that she had made a huge profit!
Because...
She knew that a legend had recently started to spread in the nearby district -- this place had the Fengshui of Wenqu Star and was destined to produce a top scorer!
She had done a field trip, so she knew that it was indeed true. The children nearby were all very hardworking.
Almost no one would go out at night.
Therefore, investing here was a guaranteed profit!
She knew too well how much the people of this land valued education!
"The college entrance examination is coming up soon..."
"Once the results are out, the housing prices here will soar to the sky!" The Lion City Princess grew excited. "It won't be long before my 300 million investment rises to 3 billion!"
As long as this year\'s college entrance examination had a few high scores, or even a batch of high scores!
The Lion City princess knew that all the houses would soar to the sky.
Perhaps it would eventually rise to a level even more terrifying than the school district housing!
There was no other way. Education. For the education of the next generation, the people of this country could spare no expense!
… …
Yingu Late lifted her skirt and got out of the private car.
The servants dressed in holy robes immediately followed.
They walked to a simple courtyard. A pair of magnificent bronze lions stood on both sides of the gate, majestic and dignified.
The gate was an automatic purple copper gate.
Along the three-story Sumeru steps, they walked up the steps, and the purple copper gate slowly opened.
An ink marble inner wall appeared in front of them.
"Duchess, this way please..." a pot-bellied merchant walked out from inside and said with a smile.
Yingu Late nodded and followed the other party.
After passing through a corridor on both sides, simple and unadorned villas came into view.
"How is it?" The merchant said with a smile.
"Very good!" Yingu Late nodded.
The other party\'s smile became even wider!
Thus, he led Yingu Late and the others through the courtyard and arrived in front of an antique courtyard.
"Duchess... everyone..." he said, "This is my ancestral home..."
"Actually, if it weren\'t for the problem with the funds in the business, I would never sell it!" The merchant said painfully.
"One billion!" Yingu Late interrupted him and asked directly, "Are you selling it?"
The merchant looked at the little girl in her teens, and his eyes widened.
His ancestral home was in the most deserted place in the old city, adjacent to the old industrial park.
In the past, when summer came, there would be swarms of mosquitoes, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain. He had long wanted to sell it.
However, he had never been able to sell it for a good price. At most, others would offer 50 million, and he could not even recover his capital!
But there was nothing he could do!
After all, this was the old city, and it was in the north of the former industrial park, near the sewage outlet.
It was only because his ancestors were once the operators of the manufacturing industry that they built their houses here to facilitate commuting to and from work.
Now it was great!
The legend of the Literati Star made a foreign aristocrat offer a billion!
The merchant\'s breathing quickened. "Sir, are you talking about Hua Yuan?"
"Yes... Hua Yuan!" Yingu Late said without blinking, "If you agree, we will sign the contract immediately!"
One billion might be a huge sum of money to an ordinary person.
But to Duke Rhein, it was just a drop in the bucket.
After all, Duke Rhein was a true noble who ruled the Kingdom of Butania together with the Queen of the United Kingdom!
His direct ancestor was the most famous transcendent in the history of the entire land of Qin, Duke Van Helsing!
Who knew how many boxes of gold were piled up in the family\'s cellar.
Moreover, in addition to being Duke Rhein, Yingu Late was also a hereditary Marquis of Lorraine, Viscount of Bavaria, Baron of Venice... If all her titles were listed, it would fill an entire page.
Therefore, the Duchess\'s property and manor covered more than half of the land of Qin.
Just collecting rent alone was tens of billions of income every year.
In addition to the monopoly of the industry, there were probably not many individuals in this country who could compare to her annual income!
A mere one billion was nothing to him!
When the merchant heard this, he immediately nodded hurriedly. "It\'s a deal!"
He immediately called his lawyer, and an hour later, the contract was drawn up.
Another hour later, the transaction was completed.
This house located on the north side of the industrial park in the East City District officially belonged to Duke Rhein and was registered as a diplomatic property!
Yingu Late did not care about these things.
After she authorized the servants, she walked into the upper floor of the courtyard alone.
Standing on the roof of this mansion, she looked at the other side, which was isolated by the abandoned old factories, the streets in the east.
"This is a safe area!" Alucard\'s voice came from the scepter in her hand.
"Yes!" Yingu Late nodded.
This place was very safe. Didn\'t she see that even the Blackguard of this country did not interfere with her?
But this place was also very special!
This area, with that street as the dot, was forming a special domain.
Originally, this domain was silent and impossible to be discovered by others.
Because it did not have any psionic power fluctuations at all, nor did it have any abnormal psionic power reaction!
But...
Within its range of influence, many special symbolic things appeared.
The children of every family were studying on time.
Even the most mischievous children suddenly wanted to study seriously.
The men who used to stay out at night were now going home on time.
Here, drivers would subconsciously avoid the nearby streets after ten o\ 'clock at night.
Only someone clearly suggested to go this way!
The reason?
There was no reason!
An unknown force was slowly affecting the people.
But it would not hurt anyone.
It was rendering bit by bit with a special power and a special method.
There was no doubt that this was the legendary domain.
Just like the legendary Garden of Eden in the Land of Qin.
Adam and Eve enjoyed the favor of God in the Garden of Eden until they made a mistake and were expelled from the Garden of Eden.
And the Garden of Eden had a domain.
Legend had it that humans could forget all worries and sorrows in it and be happy forever.
"Mistress, let\'s take it slow..." Alucard said, "We can\'t rush... we absolutely can\'t rush..."
Evie\'s death and the disappearance of the Brotherhood were enough to remind them.
But...
Their curiosity drove them to take the risk to come here.
Alucard and Yingu Late both knew that they had to figure out what exactly existed in that street?
What happened to Evie and the people of the Brotherhood?
If they didn\'t figure this out, they probably wouldn\'t even know how they died in the future!
… …
In the special personnel reform center of Jiangcheng City that had been transformed from a former prison.
The Witch Slave held a book and sat under the sun.
"The Lord is the leader, the father is the leader..." the leader of the Beast Sect, who was determined to become an outstanding slave, read very seriously.
"Lord, Lord, Minister, Father, Son..."
He looked at these words that described the principles of ethics and was greatly inspired.
"The Great Father God has ordered us to be Master\'s slaves..."
"Master has ordered us to study and reform..."
"So that\'s how it is..."
He sighed with emotion. It turned out that being a slave and a servant also had so much knowledge.
It was not just service.
The body and heart had to be unified!
More importantly, the position had to be right!
Otherwise, it would be a mess!
Just as the book said, if the order of the ruler and the minister was in chaos, and the position of father and son was reversed, then Yin and Yang would be in chaos, and the world would collapse.
Therefore, he had to be aware of his identity as a slave at all times.
He could not overstep his boundaries, nor could he use his ignorant and humble wisdom to guess the thoughts of the Great Ruler.
The more he read this book, the more the Witch Slave was enlightened. He understood more and more how laughable he was in the past.
"No wonder the Ruler wants us to come here to learn..." the Witch Slave thought, "I see... I see!"
He firmly remembered a word: Discipline!
He knew that this was something very important.
He raised his head. In the courtyard in front of him, the thirteen former witches of the feast, the current members of the Yu family, were surrounding a woman who was sent to teach them how to dance, learning seriously.
The Witch Slave nodded.
He felt the praise of the Father God.
In the past two hundred years, the Pope of the Beast Sect had never experienced a sense of joy that surfaced in his heart.
"So this is the right way to obtain the favor of the Great Father God!" The Witch Slave, who felt that he had been reborn, thought.
