Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1384 - 1203: Hidden Motives (Part 2)

It can be said that this floor couldn’t fetch any price, and for this very reason, he would rather wait. He couldn’t believe it—was he to earn silver and still be unable to buy a house?

Or even a better one?

He clearly remembered in his heart that the fat guy had bought a sixth-floor apartment, the top floor, for just three thousand taels,

and it was said to be a prime location. Standing on that building, one could overlook the entire Capital City and even see the Imperial Palace walls,

something unimaginable to them, and they were all very envious and jealous of this guy’s vision. If they had taken action back then and grabbed that house, what business would the fat guy have?

Of course, it was all too late now, saying anything was futile.

Because of this, the guy could only smile wryly and shake his head at the fat guy, indicating his helplessness.

And in the end, the price was set at that level, and it was directly sold at that price, letting the fat guy make a huge profit,

instantly earning tens of thousands of taels of silver. This kind of thing was something he would never dare dream of before—ten thousand taels was already equivalent to his entire wealth.

In just a few days, he had doubled his entire net worth. Moreover, he still had several houses in his hand,

and if he sold them all, his wealth would multiply several times over. How could he believe it?

Previously, he didn’t dare dream like this even in his dreams.

He lived a life on the edge, but at the end of the year, couldn’t even earn a few thousand taels of silver.

But now, it was different, making him yearn all the more for his current life,

and he also thought in his heart that he should take advantage of this time to acquire more houses, especially those on the top floors, no matter the cost.

Moreover, he thought that with more than ten thousand silver taels in his hands, he should at least be able to buy four houses with them.

And he didn’t plan to stop there; he intended to continue selling some of the houses in his hand,

because only in this way could he accumulate more original funds. After all, each day ahead is unimaginable wealth.

With this thought, he quickly coaxed the other party into paying.

In the end, the one who didn’t buy was left a bit unfulfilled,

thinking he might as well buy a set here, even if it’s the first-floor apartment. However, he ultimately gave up disappointed,

thinking he might go back and try his luck, and, if not kicked out, he could sneak around later and ask the owners of those rooms.

In total, there were just over a dozen buildings; it wouldn’t take long to check each floor,

especially since his goal was set on the top floor.

By then, there wouldn’t be many residents on the top floor, which would save him more trouble.

Thinking of this, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. When he looked at the fat guy, there was a similar look in his eyes.

He also understood that the fat guy’s achievements were probably tied to his own opportunities. And as for the others?

Did they not think of such things?

Certainly not.

Some had thought of it, but they never had the chance to execute it. But now, having entered this community, could he leave empty-handed?

To be honest, he now thought that the two guys who came with him were a bit too rushed. Otherwise, he might not have had to spend so much silver going around like this,

especially the one who spent eight thousand taels, which left him feeling helpless. Indeed, eight thousand taels was a considerable sum.

He believed even if it wasn’t in the fat guy’s hands, even if it were in the hands of regular people, it wouldn’t take so much silver to buy that fifth-floor apartment.

Not only the fifth floor, but there’s no doubt someone would make a move on the sixth floor too.

This was an astronomical number, a figure ordinary people could never reach in a lifetime, making him even more eager,

helplessly shaking his head at the fat guy to express he indeed didn’t have that much silver right now, and also not considering that first-floor apartment,

continuously telling the fat guy that if there was another good house, he must save it for him, like the third-floor apartment where he would also be willing to pay the price he just mentioned.

If there were a house, he would definitely take it.

However, he secretly added in his heart, haha, it’s just toying with you.

If there were such a house, I wouldn’t want it; the price is simply too high, absolutely beyond my affordability.

The fat guy nodded helplessly, indicating he would save a house for him if one came up.

And until this moment, this transaction was thoroughly completed,

and the two went to fetch silver, while the guy who didn’t buy a house helplessly bid goodbye, saying he’d first go save up some silver,

to bring more next time for trading with the fat guy.

The fat guy didn’t think much of it, perhaps dazed by the wealth over this period, which left his thoughts somewhat scattered,

so he didn’t ponder other matters, merely smiling as he sent him off. Whether he could leave the community wasn’t his concern.

All the while, the fat guy was secretly pleased, ha, for not buying a house from me, you might not even get out of this community, giving you a small lesson.

However, what he didn’t know was that not escorting him to the door was precisely the other’s intent.

After leaving the fat guy’s house, this guy immediately looked around and saw no one was watching or following him, allowing him to breathe a long sigh of relief.

However, he did not immediately go to the nearest house, knowing his movements might be monitored by the fat guy.

Therefore, he feigned walking towards the entrance, and once he reached the other building’s side, he quickly turned around and headed swiftly towards the farthest building.

Although the community’s exterior was strictly guarded, it wasn’t the same inside, with no soldiers patrolling or guarding the place,

because Lin Yi feared the soldiers would disturb the residents and make them uneasy, hence didn’t arrange for such.

They believed that with the soldiers guarding the outside, no one could sneak in,

or dare sneak in since this was His Majesty’s domain.

Angering the emperor could cost a head his life,

but this thought gave him a long sigh of relief.

This was best, as any patrol inside would’ve made his moves difficult, and if stopped, he’d have nothing to say, let alone go door-to-door.

With this in mind, he immediately reached into his pocket, pulled out a heavy purse, and nodded with satisfaction.

Unlike others who carried only one money pouch, he carried three, bringing all his wealth,

among these three pouches.
