Chapter 104: 102. Transaction Accomplished (2/3)

102. Transaction Accomplished (2/3)

Hmm?

Hmm!

Xiao Yuejian actually has a panel!!!

Looking at the panel that had suddenly appeared out of thin air before his eyes, a panel displaying the attributes of his daughter, Chen Yuejian.

Chen An was instantly excited.

He had originally thought that he could only receive feedback rewards from the system when his daughter mastered skills related to achievements, such as walking, talking, or guiding Qi into her body.

But now, his daughter's panel had appeared!

There is a father-daughter affection level!

This meant that he could receive feedback from his daughter just as he did from his wives and concubines.

For example, in the past, when coaxing his daughter to sleep, the Sleep Aid Technique could only increase experience by 1 point.

But now, if he could cultivate the father-daughter affection level to 5 stars, he could directly gain +5 experience.

However, one point worth investigating is whether the system rewards for his daughter mastering skills are also affected by the affection level?

If they are also affected, then the rewards obtained in the future would be doubled!

Thinking of this, Chen An couldn't help but chuckle "hehehe" out loud.

Hearing the sound, Chen Yuejian blinked her eyes and said with a confused look, "Daddy, your laugh is so sleazy."

Song Huaying also asked curiously, "Husband, did you think of something happy?"

Chen An smiled and pulled the mother and daughter into his arms, saying happily, "Yes, I thought of something happy. I feel very happy whenever I think of the two of you."

Opposite them, Wen Zhiyun rolled her eyes at him and said with a huff, "Look at your behavior, you must be thinking of those Female Cultivators at the Pleasure Pavilion."

Gu Xinyue, who was next to them, didn't make a sound; she just watched with a faint smile on her face.

The scene of the family of five was very warm.

After resting for a while.

Chen An took his wives and daughter to Baicao Lane to look at houses.

Before leaving, he specifically disguised his three wives and concubines, covering up their figures and faces.

There was no help for it; his wives and concubines were too alluring.

There were so many powerful people here in the Red Cedar Forest, and there was a possibility of "the innocent being punished for their wealth."

He had to be cautious.

The inn was a fair distance from Baicao Lane.

On the way, they needed to pass through a Market.

Along the way, his wives and daughter were all attracted by the colorful sights in the Market.

Chen An was wealthy now, so whenever his wives or daughter took a fancy to something, he bought it all without hesitation.

His wives and daughter were all grinning from ear to ear.

They walked for about half an hour.

The family of five finally arrived at their destination.

Baicao Lane.

When he saw the Baicao Lane before him, Chen An couldn't help but look shocked.

It was boundless!

It occupied an extremely vast area!

It had buildings!

It had shops!

This was no alleyway; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a town!

Chen An took his wives and daughter for a tour.

While walking, they looked at houses.

They walked for a full two hours and still hadn't finished touring this so-called Baicao Lane.

Truly puzzled, he found a passerby, stuffed 1 Low-grade Spirit Stone into the other person's hand, and asked how big this Baicao Lane actually was.

The final answer he received was that the area of Baicao Lane was more than three times the size of the entire Bamboo Leaf Forest.

Chen An felt a bit dizzy.

This is an alley?

This is bigger than a forest!

After calming down.

Chen An thought about it, guessing that Baicao Lane might have truly been just a small alley originally, but as the population continued to grow, the edges were constantly developed, eventually evolving into the scale it had today.

The reason it was still called Baicao Lane was likely because the residents here were used to calling it that and couldn't be bothered to change it.

Otherwise, calling it Baicao Town would be more appropriate.

The family walked and stopped.

They had looked at many houses along the way.

Finally.

They took a fancy to a relatively secluded house.

Actually, it couldn't be called secluded; there were neighbors and such.

It just didn't have any immediate neighbors.

The houses were spaced quite far apart, and within a radius of one hundred meters, there was only this one house.

I found the owner to ask a few questions.

I learned that the owner had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty, found a Golden Core family in the Red Cedar Forest to join, and would no longer be living in Baicao Lane, so she needed to sell the house.

The house was a large mansion.

Eight rooms and two halls, two courtyards, two bathrooms, two latrines, one kitchen, and a small pond where one could raise Spirit Fish.

As for the rest, it had everything one would expect.

The overall floor area was more than double the house Chen An had previously rented in the Core Area of the Bamboo Leaf Forest.

I took my wife and daughter to look around, and they were all very satisfied with this large mansion.

Thus, Chen An began to politely ask about the price: "Fellow Daoist Liu, I wonder how you are renting or selling this mansion?"

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chen is looking to rent or to buy?"

Fellow Daoist Liu was a graceful and charming female cultivator; when she spoke, her eyes were full of affection, and she was very flirtatious and alluring.

Chen An suspected she was a Female Cultivator, but he had no proof.

He felt moved looking at the female cultivator, but very impolitely remained completely unresponsive; he smiled and asked: "Fellow Daoist Liu, would it be convenient to tell me both the rental and sale prices?"

Fellow Daoist Liu said with a beaming smile: "To rent, it is 3 Middle-grade Spirit Stones per month; to sell, it is a flat price of 20 High-grade Spirit Stones."

After hearing this, Chen An did some mental math.

3 Middle-grade Spirit Stones a month would be 36 Middle-grade Spirit Stones a year.

A flat price of 20 High-grade Spirit Stones, if converted into Middle-grade Spirit Stones, would be 2,000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

In other words, the flat price was nearly 56 years of rent.

To be honest, it was a bit expensive.

Thus, Chen An began to haggle.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour to haggle from 20 High-grade Spirit Stones down to 18 High-grade Spirit Stones.

Fellow Daoist Liu said in a soft, sweet voice: "Fellow Daoist Chen, 18 High-grade Spirit Stones is the lowest price I can offer; it cannot go any lower."

"In that case, I will go look at other places."

Having said that, Chen An took his wife and daughter and turned to leave without a hint of reluctance.

Fellow Daoist Liu grew anxious and stepped back: "17 High-grade Spirit Stones, it cannot be any less!"

"Still too expensive."

Chen An shook his head and continued: "I am staying at the Zeng Family Inn on Wenliu Street; if Fellow Daoist Liu can lower it further, you can come find me then."

After dropping this line, he left with his wife and daughter without looking back.

We went to ask about the prices of other houses.

We continued to compare prices.

We asked for the entire morning and afternoon, and the prices were all much the same.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark.

The family of five returned to the inn.

Chen An found Manager Zeng to chat, and just like last time, gave him 1 Middle-grade Spirit Stone as a gesture to have him provide some advice regarding buying a house in Baicao Lane.

The final result obtained was this.

A flat price of 17 High-grade Spirit Stones for that house was a normal price, 16 High-grade Spirit Stones was a bargain, and 15 High-grade Spirit Stones was a steal.

……

In the blink of an eye.

Time arrived at the next day.

After Chen An finished breakfast and rested for a while, he once again took his wife and daughter and set off for Baicao Lane, intending to go there and find a different place to continue looking at houses.

However, just as he walked out of the inn, he saw that Fellow Daoist Liu from yesterday coming up to meet him with a smile, her voice soft and bone-melting:

"Fellow Daoist Chen, regarding the sale price of my house from yesterday, I have thought about it; how about a flat price of 16 High-grade Spirit Stones?"

"Still too expensive."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, it is not expensive anymore; if I were not in urgent need of money right now, I would not be selling it this cheaply."

"……"

Chen An smiled and said nothing.

Fellow Daoist Liu gritted her teeth and stated her true lowest price: "A flat price of 15 High-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Deal."

Chen An said with a smile on his face.
