The Mystic Moon world had only been opened for a short period of time, so the currency exchange between the real world and the virtual world had not been opened yet. As such, the major powers, who were short on funds, had no way to do anything. No matter if it was an individual or a group, the early stages of the game were always short on money. Ling Chen, who had millions of gold coins in his pocket, was very clear on what these gold coins meant …
This meant that before the currency exchange opened, he could do many things that other people … even large powers couldn't do due to a lack of money.
Ling Chen rubbed his chin and stood there thinking for a while. He looked around, and after confirming that no one would notice him, he picked up his communication device and called someone. He asked in a low voice, "Gui Ya, when will the currency exchange open?"
"… …"
"Got it."
After a short conversation, Ling Chen turned off his communication device and walked forward.
He strolled through the streets of Azure Dragon City, from the central business district to the entertainment district, to the administrative district, to the residential district … by 2 or 3 AM, Ling Chen had already walked through the streets of the central area of Azure Dragon City and memorized a location. He then took out a map of Azure Dragon City and silently checked it for a while. When he closed the map, his eyes flashed for a moment.
Afterwards, Ling Chen walked straight towards the Azure Dragon City's mayor's residence.
The Azure Dragon City's mayor's residence was still a forbidden area that players weren't allowed to go near. However, Ling Chen, who had a special pardon, walked straight into the mayor's residence's guest hall without any obstructions. Not long after, the Azure Dragon City's mayor quickly walked in.
The current Azure Dragon City's mayor was no longer dejected. His face was glowing, and he was in high spirits. Evidently, he was in a good mood. Ling Chen smiled and asked, "Mayor, how is your son's condition?"
"Hahahaha!" The Azure Dragon City's mayor laughed heartily, "Phyllostachys Nigra is indeed worthy of being the legendary item that can dissolve hundreds of poisons. After giving it to my son, it only took a day for the poison to disperse. After two days, it was almost completely gone. Although he still hasn't fully recovered, it's only a matter of time, so there's nothing to worry about. Ling Tian, I have to thank you for this matter. If not for you, my son's life would not have been spared. Do you need my help this time? Haha, if there's anything, just say it. As long as it doesn't go against my principles, I'll do my best to help you. "
Hearing the Azure Dragon's mayor say this, Ling Chen didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point: "Since the mayor says so, then I won't be polite. This time, I indeed have something to ask the mayor for help."
Ling Chen took a few steps forward, standing in front of the Azure Dragon's Mayor, and then opened up a map of Azure Dragon City, pointing at a place that he had marked: "I want to have ownership of this land for half a year … I only need half a year!"
The place that Ling Chen's finger pointed at was a rather wide open space. The shape was long and narrow, and it was about four to five thousand square meters … Not only was it very large, but the location couldn't be any better! The Azure Dragon City's business street was located west of the central square, and this piece of land was adjacent to the east of the square. It was symmetrical with the central business district and directly faced the central square where the player traffic was the highest. As for why such a good location was still empty, Ling Chen had no way of knowing, and he didn't need to know … He only knew that after the currency exchange was opened, those forces would have a large inflow of funds, and this piece of land would become their primary target.
With such a good location and such a large piece of land, even if Ling Chen had millions, it would be a daydream to buy it. So, he could only use the gold he had on hand to exchange for the ownership of the land for a short period of time.
The Azure Dragon City's mayor's gaze fell on the place that Ling Chen pointed at, and after a short while, he quickly shook his head. "Ling Chen, it's not that I don't want to agree … But, this area is our Azure Dragon City's last golden land. Every inch of land is worth its weight in gold … No, every inch of land is worth its weight in gold! We're planning to build a row of Azure Dragon City's most luxurious residential areas there. When the time comes, whether we sell it to the city residents or you humans from another world, we'll be able to sell it for a sky-high price! "
"I only need the ownership for half a year!" Ling Chen emphasized.
"Since you chose this place, you should understand how precious this land is. Even if it's half a year …"
"One million gold!!"
"One million?" The Azure Dragon City's mayor's eyes widened, and he almost cursed out loud. "This is directly facing the central square, the most precious land in Azure Dragon City!! You want to take it for just one million, what kind of joke is this!! "
Ling Chen also knew that even if it was only for half a year, one million was indeed a bit of a scam. He thought for a moment, and continued to test the waters. "How about one million and three hundred thousand …"
"No!"
"One million and five hundred thousand … I only want the ownership for five months!!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Two million … three months!!" Ling Chen gritted his teeth.
"Pa!!" The Azure Dragon City's mayor slammed his palm on the table. "Deal!!"
Ling Chen: ⊙ ﹏ ⊙ b
Half an hour later, Ling Chen walked out of the mayor's mansion with a land deed that he bought for two million gold … It was clearly written on the deed that Ling Chen could only temporarily own that piece of land for three months.
"Three months it is." Ling Chen was not anxious at all. "With Little Gray and Xi Ling, this money-making duo, sooner or later, they'll be able to buy that piece of land completely. Furthermore, even if it's only three months … it's more than enough, hehe … "
Ling Chen laughed maniacally. He then took out his map, locked onto his location, and walked towards the Azure Dragon City's central business district.
Azure Dragon City's central auction house.
The Azure Dragon City's central auction house was now only open to players, and auctioned off all sorts of items sent by players. However, players had already flooded into Azure Dragon City for many days, and the central auction house still had not held a single auction.
Upon entering the auction house's front hall, there was only an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. When he saw Ling Chen enter, he yawned, and then sat up straight. He said listlessly, "Hello, young man from another world, welcome to the central auction house. My name is Li Fu, you can call me Lord Fortune. Do you have anything that you would like to auction? However, I need to remind you in advance that our central auction house will only auction items that are sufficiently precious. If it's something ordinary, I suggest that you place it in a consignment shop. We will not accept it. Furthermore, even if we accept the item, the time of the auction will be decided by us … After all, if the number of items to be auctioned does not reach a certain number, we will not go through the trouble of organizing an auction … Furthermore, all the revenue from the auction will belong to us, and we will charge a commission of anywhere from 3% to 10% of the auction price. Of course, if the item to be auctioned is particularly precious, and can bring us a lot of prestige and ticket revenue, we can even waive the commission, and even the time of the auction can be decided by you … So, young man, first take out the items that you want to auction. "
After listening to him with great difficulty, Ling Chen took a step forward and took out three items from his backpack. "I have three items that I want to auction, but I'm not sure if these three items are qualified to be auctioned by you."
The three items that Ling Chen took out were a black bean, a golden chain and a black plate.
These three items caused Lord Fortune's eyes to brighten up a little. He reached out and took the black bean that looked like sheep dung. He even brought it up to his nose and sniffed it. After confirming that it was not sheep dung, he looked at its attributes … This was the Sheep Dung Bean that Ling Chen had bought from the Underworld Merchant, the Qian Gungun … Oh no, it was a magical bean that could increase 100 Skill Points. He had bought it for Shui Ruo to eat to increase her Skill Points, but thinking about how the Qian Gungun had picked it up from somewhere, and how it had passed through his dirty hands … In the end, he could not bear to let this thing taint his pure Ruo Ruo, so he decisively auctioned it off as an eye-catching item.
"It can increase 100 Skill Points … Heavens!! What am I looking at … I'm actually looking at something that only exists in legends! "
Holding the black bean, Lord Fortune, who was originally listless, excitedly yelled out, "To a cultivator, this is a priceless treasure! Young man, can you tell me where you got it from? "
Ling Chen: "… …"
"Oh, please forgive my rudeness." Ling Chen's expression caused Lord Fortune to wake up, and he quickly regained his composure, "After seeing such a miraculous item, I actually forgot about the rule of not asking about the origin of an item. Young man, please don't worry, when you put up your item for auction, we will not ask you any unnecessary questions. Moreover, we will keep your identity a secret, and will not let anyone know. "
"In other words, this bean has the right to be auctioned here?" Ling Chen asked as he smiled.
Lord Fortune nodded, "Absolutely! Let alone you players, even the experts of the Forgotten Continent would be incredibly excited when they see this item … it's a priceless treasure, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a priceless treasure. We'll accept this auction item. "
Because of this bean, Lord Fortune became even more interested in the other two items. He picked up the gold bracelet, and his eyes swept across it. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stood up from his chair, "Gold … Gold grade Moon Deities Chain!!!"
"Is there a problem?" Seeing him so excited, Ling Chen was slightly surprised.
"Young man!" Lord Fortune looked straight at him, his old hand tightly gripping the gold bracelet that he had obtained from the Greedy Giant Toad, "Do you know the value of a Gold grade Moon Deities Chain? It's something that no other Gold grade equipment can compare to. A Gold grade Moon Deities Chain can accompany a strong person for a lifetime, and it's something that countless experts can't even dream of in their lifetime! Young man, you're really amazing. You've only been in this world for such a short period of time, and you've actually obtained a Gold grade Moon Deities Chain … I can already see the uproar that would be caused if this Gold grade Moon Deities Chain appeared in the auction … believe me, this is definitely the first Gold grade Moon Deities Chain to appear in the players' world. Because the possibility of a high grade Moon Deities Chain appearing is simply too low! "
