Since Xili had joined the Moonlit Black Cats, Eight-cloud Ink had begun its solo quest.
In the following period of time, Eight-cloud Ink's luck seemed to have skyrocketed. Within a month, they had managed to find the BOSS rooms on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, and 24th floors.
Under the numb gazes of all the players in SAO, Eight-cloud Ink reached the 25th floor in one go!
Since he had single-handedly defeated all the monsters in the labyrinth area from the 21st to the 24th floor and monopolized the rewards from the bosses on those floors, Eight-cloud Ink finally had enough money to buy his own house.
In SAO, although the battle between players and monsters and other actions may destroy the scenery, these destroyed scenes will automatically recover after a period of time!
Because of this setting, it was impossible for players to build their own houses in the wild or in other places. If players wished to own a house of their own, there were only two ways to do so. The first was to purchase an existing house from an NPC in town or city. The second was to purchase a Housing Building Order and Building Blueprints from an NPC in town or city. Players could then find a place they liked in the fields and use the Housing Building Order to have the system help them build their house according to the blueprints.
The completed house and the area it belongs to will be automatically classified as a safe zone, and any PK activity will be prohibited.
Of the two methods, the second cost far more gold coins than the first.
Eight-cloud Ink's current wealth was enough to buy an existing house in the town. However, he was not satisfied with the floors that he had conquered, and he did not want to live in a crowded and noisy town. Therefore, the purchase of a house had been delayed.
Now that he had cleared all the way to the 25th floor in one go, he finally met the conditions to buy a house.
As for Eight-cloud Ink's building location, it was without a doubt the 22nd floor of Aincrad.
I'm just missing a loli at home. Cough cough, I didn't say anything.
This was a lake that was surrounded by mountains on all sides.
From time to time, the crisp and melodious chirping of birds could be heard from the surrounding lush forest. As the wind blew, the leaves rustled.
The smell of summer.
The surface of the lake sparkled under the sunlight, reflecting the surrounding forest, the blue sky, and the white clouds. From time to time, fish would jump out of the water, and a herd of sika deer lived by the lake. These cute creatures were not monsters that could be attacked, but were ornamental animals set up by the system.
There was a wide open space beside the lake. Eight Cloud Ink was standing in this open space, allowing the breeze to blow her long hair and clothes.
"What a beautiful place. It's comparable to Fantasy Village …"
Eight-cloud Ink sighed. Such a place was almost extinct in the real world, and even in SAO, such a beautiful place was rare.
"Maybe I should rest for a while …"
He opened the system panel and clicked on the item bar. A blue light flashed, and a small bronze token and a parchment scroll appeared in Eight-cloud Ink's hand.
It was the building order and blueprints.
After looking at the building order for a while, Eight-cloud Ink clicked to use it.
"Please select the location to build the house!"
Seeing the system window that popped up in front of her, Eight-cloud Ink pointed at the open space in front of her.
"Location selected, checking if the building requirements are met …"
"Checking completed, requirements met!"
"Please adjust the orientation of the house …"
Looking at the left and right arrow buttons that popped up in front of her, Eight-cloud Ink carefully adjusted the orientation of the house. When the front of the house was facing the lake, Eight-cloud Ink clicked confirm.
"Preparation complete, construction will begin!"
"Construction in progress …"
"Construction completed! Congratulations to the player for owning your own house! Detected that the current house is an advanced house. Player has the right to name it. Please name it! "
"Name?" Eight-cloud Ink was taken aback. Looking at the gorgeous Washi-style courtyard in front of her, she thought for a while, and said, "Yakumo Residence!"
"Naming completed!"
A blue light flashed, and an antique plaque appeared above the exquisite and elegant courtyard gate in front of her, with the words "Yakumo Residence" written on it.
Looking at the Yakumo Residence in front of her, Eight-cloud Ink's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
It took him a long time to pick out a Japanese-style courtyard that was similar to the House of the Lost that he lived in in Fantasy Village.
"Chirp!"
Haku, who was on Eight-cloud Ink's shoulder, saw the courtyard that suddenly appeared in front of her. She cried happily, jumped down from Eight-cloud Ink's shoulder, and happily jumped back and forth under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard. From time to time, she would turn over and reveal her belly like a puppy.
"This little guy …"
Looking at Haku's cute appearance, Eight-cloud Ink suddenly laughed.
As an advanced house, it naturally had many functions. After Eight-cloud Ink called up the system panel, a delicate pet house appeared under the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard.
When Haku saw the pet house, he first ran over and affectionately rubbed Eight-cloud Ink's trousers, then quickly went into his own little world.
After entering the Yakumo Residence, Eight-cloud Ink began to look around his house in SAO.
After entering the gate, there was a very secluded courtyard. There were cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, and there was a pond in the center. There were rockery pavilions in the middle of the pond, and there were lotus flowers in the pond, and there were goldfish swimming back and forth in the middle of the lotus flowers.
After walking through the courtyard, there was a living room. There were no modern tables and chairs in the living room, but short tables and cushions were neatly arranged. On both sides of the living room were side halls, one side was a study, and the other side was a room that was used as a warehouse.
Although according to the game settings in SAO, the warehouse was almost purely a decoration, Eight-cloud Ink was still very satisfied with it.
After walking through the main hall and the side hall, and through a winding corridor, he came to the bedroom.
The furnishings in the bedroom were still mainly retro, but it was not like the traditional Japanese style residence where the mattress was spread on the tatami. Instead, there was a carved soft couch in the bedroom with a silk curtain hanging on it.
The mattress and brocade quilt on the soft couch looked extremely beautiful, the workmanship was exquisite, and the texture was particularly comfortable.
There was also an incense burner in the bedroom, and the whole room exuded a refreshing fragrance.
Looking out of the carved window in the bedroom, he could see the beautiful cherry blossoms in the courtyard.
"It feels good." Eight-cloud Ink nodded with satisfaction. After walking out of the bedroom, he looked at the other two guest rooms.
The furnishings of the guest rooms were generally similar to the bedroom, but the furnishings were slightly worse.
In addition, there was a special bathroom and kitchen in the house, and the furniture inside was also neatly arranged.
As a high-class house with such a large courtyard, Eight-cloud Ink naturally couldn't live here alone.
He needed some NPC servants.
Eight Cloud Ink brought up the system interface and spent a long time selecting the house function. He then spent some gold coins to purchase three NPC maids.
"Master." A blue light flashed, and three girls in maid outfits appeared in front of Eight-cloud Ink and bowed respectfully to Eight-cloud Ink.
"Call me Young Master from now on."
Eight-cloud Ink thought for a while and changed the way the maids addressed him.
"Yes, Young Master."
These NPC maids had some of the simplest intelligence. They could perform some simple service tasks under Eight-cloud Ink's command, such as cleaning the courtyard and preparing meals.
Although the maids' cooking skills were not high, Eight-cloud Ink didn't learn any cooking skills, and he couldn't go to the town restaurant every time it was time for a meal, so he had to make do with it.
