Chapter 53: Acquiring Property

"Then give me another 10,000 Stellar-level First Tier slaves, and 1,000 Dreambei tribe beauties," Xiao Yu said.

These Dreambei tribe members are all beauties; having them serve in my future residence would be a grand sight, surely making Lei Shen die of envy.

"Deal. The total is 90 billion Qianwu Coins, plus 9 trillion Black Dragon Coins," the person in charge replied.

"Then I'll first pay you 90 billion Qianwu Coins, and have those two Universe-level slaves transferred to me now; the remaining money will be paid after the rest of the slaves are handed over," Xiao Yu said calmly.

Transferring over twenty thousand slaves is not a one‑time matter. If Xiao Yu weren't worried about accidents while acquiring property, he wouldn't have demanded the early handover of the Universe-level slaves.

After Xiao Yu paid the 90 billion Qianwu Coins, the person in charge brought two Universe-level Fifth Tier slaves before him and handed the bio‑crystal controller to Xiao Yu.

"Do you have names?" Xiao Yu asked.

The slightly taller Heimeng Tribe Universe-level slave on the left said, "Master, I'm Lu Dek, and the one beside me is my younger brother Lu Yade."

"Full brothers?" Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, Master. We Heimeng Tribe have been slaves for generations; almost no one can escape this fate," Lu Yade replied.

"Very well, from now on your task is to guard my safety and that of my family; as long as you fulfill your guard duty peacefully, I will not mistreat you," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Yes, Master, we will certainly not go against your will," Lu Yade and Lu Dek knelt on one knee and said.

The Heimeng Tribe's loyalty is renowned throughout the universe, and because of that, the Heimeng Tribe has earned a good reputation in the slave world; many people like and trust using Heimeng Tribe slaves.

"Alright, stop calling me 'Master'; from now on just call me 'Young Master'," Xiao Yu instructed.

"Yes, Young Master," the two brothers replied.

"Alright, next we'll go buy a house," Xiao Yu said, "Ba Ba Ta, let's go get that kind of castle we saw earlier."

"I've just inquired and know where that property is being sold," Ba Ba Ta's avatar said.

Half an hour later, outside Qiu Long City, inside the castle

Xiao Yu, with the two Heimeng Tribe brothers Lu Dek, followed the three‑meter‑tall, bronze‑skinned, bald person in charge.

The bald person in charge led the three on a tour inside the castle, occasionally explaining, "This castle is 10.2 km in length and width; its main structure is made of C9‑grade black yttrium metal, capable of withstanding attacks from Universe-level Ninth Tier strongmen."

Black yttrium metal costs between several thousand and several hundred thousand Black Dragon Coins per ton, depending on the alloy grade.

"The castle is divided into residential, banquet, cultivation, entertainment, and warehouse zones, and if the gentleman finds any area unsuitable, it can be replanned," the bald person in charge hurriedly added.

Soon, Xiao Yu and the others had inspected everything and felt fairly satisfied; the space is ample, versatile, with many rooms, and being modular, any unsatisfactory part can be easily altered.

"Sir, are you satisfied with this castle?" the bald person in charge asked with a smile.

"Satisfied is satisfied, but the price of this castle is a bit high, isn't it?" Xiao Yu said with a grin.

"Sir, you're joking; this amount isn't a trifle for you, is it?" the bald person in charge glanced at the two Universe-level Fifth Tier bodyguards behind Xiao Yu and laughed.

Earlier, cousin Baren Ting·Hoff, when introducing him, said that Mr. Xiao Yu is a rare buyer on Qiu Long Star who is willing to spend money on such a mansion; he's one of a kind, surpassing ordinary Universe-level individuals.

"But as far as I know, you previously sold a similarly sized one for only 8.6 trillion Black Dragon Coins; now your quote for this one is 9.8 trillion Black Dragon Coins, a 14 % increase," Xiao Yu said coldly.

Just now, Ba Ba Ta found that the latest sale record for this type of castle outside Qiu Long City dates back 150 years, when it sold for 8.6 trillion Black Dragon Coins, and the price of such castles outside Qiu Long City has fluctuated no more than 3 % over the past ten thousand years.

The person in charge before me appears honest but is actually cunning.

The bald person in charge felt uneasy, regretting that he had taken his cousin's advice and raised the price; if Mr. Xiao Yu files a complaint with the planetary administration, he may face a career‑blocking predicament.

The bald person in charge said with some pain, "Sir, castle prices on Qiu Long Star have risen recently, but since you were introduced by Bank President Baren Ting as a major client, I'll give you a discount of 12 % (i. e., 88 % of the price)."

"88 % means 8.624 trillion. Let's just round off the decimals!" Xiao Yu said with a grin, looking at the person in charge.

"Sir, the price is already the lowest," the bald person in charge hesitated, then said, "At most, I can cut another 24 billion Black Dragon Coins, making it 8.6 trillion."

"Then the castle's layout must follow my instructions," Xiao Yu said.

"No problem." The bald person in charge finally relaxed.

That night, Xiao Yu moved into his castle, which was given a new name: Xiao Family Pavilion.

After acquiring the property, Xiao Yu completed the slave handover with the slave‑market manager and temporarily settled them in the castle.

Here he plans to station 1,000 Stellar First Tier slaves, 100 Stellar Ninth Tier warriors, 100 Stellar Ninth Tier Spiritual Mind Masters as security, and an additional 500 Dreambei tribe beauties as attendants.

The entire castle towers several hundred meters high, and Xiao Yu's bedroom is arranged exactly like that of a villa in the Moonlight Community on Earth.

Inside the castle, based on Ba Ba Ta's input data, a full‑scene simulation of Earth's environment is rendered.

In the leisure room.

"Ba Ba Ta, enter the virtual network," Xiao Yu instructed.

His consciousness left his body and entered the Virtual Universe.

It is an ancient city, its streets paved with massive cut‑shaped rocks; the passersby, though oddly shaped, of varying heights and races, mostly wear simple gray clothing, and each has a small sprite on their shoulder.

"This is the Virtual Universe!" Xiao Yu sighed.

"We are now on a Black Dragon Mountain Island at the edge of the Qianwu Continent in the Virtual Universe," Ba Ba Ta's voice shifted to that of an adolescent.

In the Virtual Universe, the entire Qianwu Star Region is a massive continent, while the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region is merely a gigantic island.

It is called an island, yet its area exceeds that of any planet; all newcomers from the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region first enter the Virtual Universe on this island.

"Within the Virtual Universe, you can acquire property, play games, duel, enjoy beauties, study, shop, eat, drink, conduct financial transactions, chat remotely, teleport, and so on; everything possible in the real world can be done here, even things impossible in the real universe." Ba Ba Ta's avatar said.
