Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1360 - 1192: The Purchase - Part 2

No matter the reason, no matter how one thinks about it, this feels somewhat unrealistic. This prompted the worker to immediately change to a fawning smile, bowing to the young man while cheerfully saying:

"Oh my, oh my, I’ve failed to recognize Mount Tai with my dog eyes. Sir, please don’t be angry. I will take you to the backyard to select people."

As he said this, the fellow had already taken the lead, heading towards the backyard, specifically to the rear wing.

After all, on the surface, trading of people is not allowed, which is also Lin Yi’s explicit rule.

Therefore, they discreetly brought people to the back.

Even though everyone was aware of this at the time, and even Lin Yi knew that these fellows were still engaging in such trades.

But there was nothing that could be done about it.

Upon following the attendant to the back, he suddenly saw a very large house with more than a dozen people sitting inside.

Clearly, these people were clothed in tattered rags, each one looking disheveled—obviously impoverished individuals.

But these things weren’t important; the most important thing was that the young man’s gaze was scanning the crowd, assessing them up and down as he aimed to select two strong and robust individuals.

After all, he was purchasing these two for guarding the house, so they had to have good physiques.

However, these people rarely received any nutritious food here, making each of them appear somewhat skinny, causing him a headache as he examined them. Eventually, his gaze fell on two tall individuals.

Although they currently didn’t have much flesh on them, as long as they’re properly fed, the flesh would grow sooner or later, and given their height, they should have no problem with basic guarding tasks.

After purchasing these two, he directed his gaze towards another room, which was different from the adjacent one, housing only five or six people—all women.

And upon inspection, these individuals were quite young, the oldest being no more than sixteen or seventeen, and the youngest perhaps only twelve or thirteen. Naturally, they too were dressed in ragged clothes.

"Hehe, sir, do you fancy any of the girls? If any catches your eye, point her out, and I’ll give you a discount today."

Seeing the young man’s glance, the attendant immediately began introducing, having perceived that the man before him wasn’t a typical pauper since he had just spent money to purchase two household servants, likely a landlord with some property.

Such individuals possess strong purchasing power, thus prompting him to begin promoting these ’goods’.

Indeed, in their eyes, regardless of gender, these individuals were merely merchandise for financial exchange.

And the young man was indifferent, proceeding to walk over to the women, lifting each face for a closer view, finally deciding on one who seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen:

"Let’s go with her. Just add up the total cost for all to silver."

Upon hearing this, the attendant promptly agreed, quickly leading the group towards the main hall.

Once there, he began gesturing and calculating:

"Sir, you’ve got an excellent eye; these two guards appear very sturdy, hence their price isn’t trivial. Each requires two taels of silver.

Together is four taels of silver.

Additionally, you have a discernible eye; this one is indeed our finest girl, and naturally, her price is higher, requiring five taels of silver.

Altogether, if you have five taels of silver, you’ll need to pay us four more taels of silver."

Upon finishing these words, he attentively watched the young man, awaiting payment for the remaining silver.

For the young man, although the total price was considerable, he could afford it, given it meant safeguarding his life. Such an amount was insignificant.

Moreover, it included a pretty young lady.

This beauty was indeed quite attractive—she was something he wouldn’t have dared to dream about previously.

Returning home with this young lady would enrich his life, providing someone for tasks like serving tea and massaging shoulders, fully realizing these needs.

Upon realizing this, he began to eagerly anticipate his future life, prompting him to pay the silver without hesitation, promptly pulling out another four taels of silver.

Those three individuals he’d purchased were also self-aware, having anticipated this day.

Or perhaps they were prepared to be bought, and maybe for them, being purchased could lead to a better life?

Currently in the mercantile house, though one wouldn’t starve, the lifestyle isn’t comfortable; albeit the women had it slightly better, residing with only five or six individuals.

Nonetheless, the men had it differently, squeezing dozens of individuals into a cramped room, living no better than livestock.

However, it doesn’t imply that the few women enjoy a much better life; despite fewer occupants, their daily treatment is identical, and none ever have enough to eat daily.

Merely ensuring they survive.

After all, the meals were purchased by the house—the idea of wasting resources freely is implausible.

Consequently, after acquiring the three individuals, they obediently followed him toward the new residence.

As for the concern of them fleeing en route?

Clearly, there was no need for worry, given their status as slaves—a marked and identifiable status.

No matter where they fled, the markings on them would reveal them as lowly slaves to the world.

Moreover, they had no land and no family, making survival post-escape uncertain, much less the consequences if caught.

At present, the three mostly harbor anxiety, silently praying their new master would treat them well.

Not demanding abundant meals nor decent clothing—mere survival and shelter sufficed.

And notably, these three didn’t assume the young man before them was their final master, imagining him instead as merely a steward or servant of a household.

After all, few true masters personally purchase slaves today.

Throughout, the trio kept their heads lowered, never intending to lift them, while the young man paid no heed, leading them back home, making a stop at a tailor shop.

Following him, the trio entered the shop without looking around, following closely behind.

"Shopkeeper, get each of them an outfit.

These two are household servants; two sets of fine servant uniforms will suffice.

As for the young lady, one fine garment."

Saying this, he reached into his coat and fished out a piece of broken silver, tossing it directly to the shopkeeper.
