Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1352 - 1188: Cunning (Part 2)

In short, this path looks like something from the heavens, so the common folk directly call it the Immortal Path.

Of course, all this talk is a bit off-topic. Let’s talk about the fat guy and that young man.

The fat guy followed the young man up the steps, climbing one by one until they reached the third level. Seeing layer upon layer of stairs, the fat guy couldn’t help but find it quite curious, and he asked the young man ahead:

"What, isn’t your house up there? We’ve been walking for so long. Isn’t it here yet? Just how high is your house?"

The young man heard this and chuckled, then boastfully said:

"Haha, you might not know this, sir. My house is really excellent, arguably the best in this community. My house is on the topmost level. You have to know, the views from this place in Capital City are extremely beautiful. From my house, you can see lots of beautiful scenes in the Capital City."

Saying this, the young man paused slightly, then continued:

"Honestly, I’m quite reluctant to sell it. After all, this house is really too good. Once it’s sold, I won’t ever have a second one like it. That’s why I’m so reluctant now.

If it weren’t for the fact that you, sir, offered a high price of three thousand taels, I might never sell it in my lifetime.

Of course, though these three thousand taels are a lot, they’ll be spent eventually, but this house is different.

Once it’s in your hands, sir, it will always exist, and you’ve seen that the property’s value here will definitely start to rise continuously."

I have to say, that young man’s mind is quite sharp. In this ancient society, he vaguely already has the concept of property speculation, and even a mindset from later generations, which is truly rare among ancient common folk.

If we don’t say he’s not a merchant, it would be quite amazing. Even the fat guy behind him felt the same. Listening to the other’s words, he was quite curious that the young man could have such foresight and knowledge, something he hadn’t expected.

Moreover, what the young man said indeed made sense; the property here will definitely appreciate in value. Perhaps it won’t be long before the price rises, and the house he bought for three thousand taels might soon become worth four or five thousand taels.

Especially as the young man said, his house is on the topmost level. You have to know, the scenery up here is incredibly beautiful, and it’s no exaggeration to say that standing here, even the great wall of the Imperial City can be seen clearly.

Of course, the Imperial City’s walls are enormous, so wanting to see inside is absolutely impossible; you can only see the Imperial City. But that’s already quite enough, seeing the Imperial City is a long-coveted view.

And upon hearing that the young man’s house is indeed at the very top, the fat guy was incredibly pleased. In this society at present, the thought isn’t like future generations thinking that the top floor is worthless, especially because without elevators, climbing to the top requires plenty of effort.

Nowadays, most houses are single-level, so the higher the floor, the more it represents status. Living up there symbolizes an extraordinary status, compelling everyone in this society to desire living on the topmost floor.

This includes the fat guy too, when he offered three thousand taels, he wondered about the location of the house, thinking that even if it’s on the second level, spending the money would be worthwhile.

Yet hearing that it’s on the very top level indeed made him content, feeling that the three thousand taels were definitely worth it. Not only the three thousand taels, even if he were to add another thousand, he would willingly do so.

Of course, he’s not a fool and wouldn’t give money to the young man without reason. Therefore, even if the young man now asked him to increase the price, he definitely wouldn’t do it.

That’s the nature of a merchant, the shrewdness of the fat guy. Agreeing to three thousand taels, he’ll absolutely not give more than agreed, even if the house is exceptional, it’s decided as is. After nodding, the fat guy continued climbing with the young man.

With his considerable weight, the climbing process was quite strenuous for him, yet it didn’t affect his mood one bit. He continued climbing eagerly, not even stopping to rest.

With that, he reached the top level in one breath. When the young man took out a key and opened the room, the sight within shocked the fat guy greatly, for it was his first time entering here. Though he had seen the exterior from afar,

the interior was beyond unexpected, not just unexpected, but greatly unexpected. He never thought it would be so exquisite and luxurious; the bed looked very high-end at a glance.

Moreover, the design is entirely different from the current beds. Presently, the beds are supported by several pillars at the corners with a canopy, it’s like a big box with an opening.

Yet, the bed currently in front is not like that: simple and elegant, with a board-like cover on top, the sides wide open, only the front side with a board standing up.

Although it’s the first-time seeing such a bed, it undeniably gives a very simple and elegant feeling, and the bed seems perfectly fine, in a word, it looks so sophisticated and high-class.

In the fat guy’s opinion, this place is definitely destined for esteemed people.

No exaggeration, if it were given to the common folk, it would be a waste, yet now he’s once again reassured that his three thousand taels were not spent in vain, definitely worth it, while he feels fortunate.

Grateful that no one competed with him over the price, because if someone bid higher, he feared the house wouldn’t land in his possession, and now he’s already followed the young man into the room!

That’s to say, today, the house is his for certain, and no one will compete with him; even if there’s someone richer outside wanting to offer a higher price, it’s impossible.

At the very least, it’s unrealistic for them to buy this house now, as he wouldn’t let the young man leave again, at least not before the deal is closed.

Thinking about this, he nodded towards the young man:

"This house indeed looks good, but it’s truly too simple.

Once moved in, many things will still be lacking, and besides, the room is a bit too small.

Leaving some maidservants to attend isn’t realistic, so the price seems somewhat inflated.

Oh well, since I’ve agreed with you, let’s keep it as is."
