Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1372 - 1197: Doubled (Part 2)

It can be said that the furniture inside has undergone a world-shaking transformation, though not all of it, as there is one room that remains unchanged; this room contains the original furniture.

Of course, there are no renovations or decorations present.

And the reason for doing this is not because he doesn’t have the time for renovations, nor is it due to a lack of funds, but because he wants to use this room as a comparison; everything inside is the most ordinary and original, and overall, the styles are absolutely contrasting.

It’s like one is in the heavens, and the other in the underground, even if it’s the same things, the decor gives a vastly different feel, which the chubby man is especially satisfied with. This day, you could see the chubby man stride directly outside of the community.

Because during this time, the chubby man often gave the soldiers here three silver coins, so the soldiers’ attitude toward the chubby man is quite friendly.

At the very least, they don’t bow and scrape to him, but when the chubby man does certain things and they’re in a tight spot, they’ll just turn their heads, pretending not to see.

This alone is enough, and it makes the chubby man very pleased; he never imagined it would reach this point.

After all, these soldiers now are not like they used to be; today they are directly commanded by His Majesty, so the discipline is very strict.

Especially this particular personal army of His Majesty’s, they are famously rigid, and no one can get close to them, as they maintain the same cold expression to anybody they face.

Because of this, achieving the current level of camaraderie is no small feat.

This chubby man could indeed be considered a character, not only is the chubby man pleased, but even the Merchants outside, seeing this scene, can’t help but be greatly shocked, and inwardly give the chubby man a thumbs up, acknowledging they couldn’t achieve this themselves.

Naturally, when the chubby man gives them three silver coins, he ensures that people outside don’t see it, as it’s done secretly, since he doesn’t want others to know this method.

Just like that, after leaving the community, the chubby man soon found himself surrounded by a group of merchants.

There was no helping it; the chubby man was already a merchant before, hence he was familiar with them. Moreover, they more or less understood his actions, thinking it’s because of the chubby man that the price was raised to three thousand taels per house.

If not for him, the price of three thousand taels would likely drop down a bit.

Therefore, many people actually dislike the chubby man, wanting to kick him when they see him.

After all, it’s hard-earned silver, and it’s frustrating to have to hand over more silver to the common folks; how could that excite them?

Nevertheless, when the chubby man stepped outside, he approached the crowd and listened to the babbling voices opposite him, feeling quite pleased and stroked his beard, then cleared his throat and coughed lightly.

This single cough caused the surrounding crowd to immediately halt their discussions, stopping their chatter, and all eyes turned to him. At this point, the chubby man began to speak:

"Hehe, all of you must still be waiting here for a house, right? How about it? Have you gotten your dream house?"

This was undoubtedly asking nonsense and made many people deeply displeased, wishing they could just kick the chubby man.

Look at that, is what you’re asking even human speech? Is what you’re saying even human speech?

Huh?

Still asking us if we’ve bought a house; don’t you have any idea yourself?

If we had bought a house, would we still be standing here waiting?

We would have long since moved into such a luxurious house.

However, this guy could indeed be called a character, especially with the way he gets along with those soldiers, which makes them the object of everyone’s envy. Many were thinking in their hearts, perhaps by entering here and developing a good relationship with the chubby man, it could be completed. After all, just by being by this chubby man’s side, even when entering the community, those soldiers sometimes turn a blind eye.

Because of this, hearing the chubby man’s words, no one stood out to contradict his knowledge, and some familiar individuals showed a face full of bitterness:

"Hey, Lao Wang, aren’t you just mocking us? If we could buy a house, we’d have moved in already, instead of standing here?"

"Exactly, exactly, if we could afford it, we would have bought one by now. But seriously, how do you feel about living there, you old fox? What’s the house like?"

"Does that need saying? You can tell from his smiling expression that it must be extremely comfortable in there. I’ve even heard that those who bought houses here said it’s quite magical inside."

"Yes, yes, Shopkeeper Wang, what’s it really like inside? Come on, tell us all about it."

All of a sudden, these people started putting on a gossiping tone, after all, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, plus this guy genuinely lives inside, and hearing his account is far clearer than anything from the rumor mill.

For this reason, everyone stopped their chatter, focusing their sights on this chubby man named Wang, who, seeing this, also gave a complacent smile.

Then, stroking the beard on his chin, he spoke with a hearty laugh:

"Hehe, to not hide the truth from all of you, the houses here are indeed perfect, beyond anything we could have imagined. Honestly, I was shocked upon entering it; even my house in Jiangnan pales in comparison."

"It’s no exaggeration to say that living in there is truly an enjoyment, especially since my house is on the top floor, so from there, one can overlook the entire Capital City."

With this guy’s recounting, with his eloquent speech, everyone around couldn’t help but show envious expressions, each revealing an excited look.

They truly wished they could move in right now, particularly when hearing some of the wondrous details the chubby man mentioned— bursts of exclamations erupted repeatedly from within the crowd.

Naturally, the only reason the chubby man was sharing so much wasn’t just because he was idle and wanted to tease them. He had a proper objective in mind. After narrating for a long time and fully captivating everyone’s interest,

the chubby man smoothly shifted the subject.

Soon, it turned to the buying and selling of houses.

And inadvertently, he revealed a message, that he had already purchased two houses, which shocked everyone even more.

They only knew that the chubby man spent three thousand taels to buy a house, but they never imagined that he now not only has one, but two!

However, according to this guy’s words, he purchased a three-story house this time, even though it’s not on the top floor.

But this price still cost three thousand five hundred taels, which left everyone looking at the chubby man with puzzled expressions.

They wondered if what he said was true, why is the house not as high as the previous one, but more expensive?

To this, the chubby man laughed and then began explaining to everyone.

According to the chubby man, the cost of houses now clearly varies from day to day.

If not for him offering these three thousand five hundred taels, the seller wouldn’t sell him the house.

Perhaps it was just a brag, and people didn’t expect him to be buying houses.
