Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1357 - 1191: Taken a Fancy To

Everyone present was obviously very curious about the question this fellow had raised.

After all, these people were well aware that although all the houses here are good, the best ones are the taller houses.

Especially the house at the top, which can be said to be the most valuable.

Simply because the view from up there is so spectacular.

It is almost as if you could overlook the entire Capital City.

For this reason, they all yearned to own such a house, making them very curious to know what kind of house this fellow had bought for three thousand taels, and whether it was really the top floor.

But soon, everyone shook their heads internally. After all, the top floor house isn’t that easy to come by. How could it be such a coincidence that this guy’s house is the top one? That would be too much of a coincidence.

It wouldn’t be such a miraculous coincidence for the guy to have bought a house, especially not the very top one.

If that were truly the case, then they would have to curse this fat man in their hearts over and over again.

Yet upon hearing the other’s words, the fat man simply flashed a cheeky smile.

As he looked at everyone, the smile on his face didn’t diminish, and as soon as it appeared, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts, secretly wondering to themselves why he was smiling.

Could it be that this guy really bought a great house?

Or is the protection he bought really on the very top floor?

But thinking about it, they denied their own thoughts. Forget the top floor, this guy might have bought the second to last one, which is the current fifth floor?

Aside from the sixth floor, the fifth and fourth floors are also very popular. It’s safe to say everyone dreams of having such a high-level house, after all, their homes are mostly courtyard houses or similar compounds.

But humans naturally yearn for heights, they think the higher the house, the closer it is to the Heavens, to the Immortals.

It is precisely because of this that they have such thoughts.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, while everyone was secretly pondering, the fat man suddenly chuckled and said:

"Haha. It’s not such a great house, just the one right at the very top at the front.

Alright everyone, I have some matters to attend to, so I won’t linger here with you. You should all keep your eyes on the front door over there, it’s possible someone will come out soon.

Better to focus all your attention over there, maybe you’ll be able to buy a house here too, and we can be neighbors."

Anyone could see the look of pride on the fat man’s face, and as soon as he said this, everyone around was taken aback.

Those merchants with some money left regretted not having bid higher, especially those who had just bid alongside the fat man.

If they had known earlier that this fellow’s house was on the top floor, they would have been willing to pay five hundred more taels.

But now, no matter how much regret they feel, it’s already too late. They only wish they had bid higher to secure the room.

Knowing that after the fat man, the starting price for houses here is at least three thousand taels, and buying one at that price and on the top floor isn’t realistic.

In an instant, they regretted it so much that they could almost feel the pain in their stomachs.

As they watched the fat man and the young man leave, each of them stamped their feet in frustration.

Of course, among them, there were also some with ill intentions.

When they saw the two leave, a few people quietly followed them from the crowd. Of course, the direction they left in was the same as that of the two.

Their intentions were obvious: to follow and see if a deal was indeed taking place.

As for what they were up to, that too was evident.

After all, in these times, even a tael of silver can drive people mad.

Let alone three thousand taels of pearls.

However, those in front didn’t notice the ones behind. As for the fat man, he naturally had his men waiting outside.

He wasn’t foolish; even though this was the Capital City, he wouldn’t venture out alone without having at least a person or two by his side, especially when carrying such a large sum of money.

As for bringing more people, that wasn’t necessary. After all, this is the Capital City, and under Lin Yi’s governance, public safety has dramatically improved.

Otherwise, elsewhere, these merchants wouldn’t travel without a dozen guards by their side.

That’s even why an industry like escort agencies exists.

These merchants wouldn’t dare to transport goods without involving an agency because they knew they might earn money but wouldn’t live to spend it.
