Single apartment buildings, 58 floors, 1160 units, each unit 50 square meters. The cost was 15 million gold coins, including a small specific teleportation array downstairs costing 1 million. A total of 8 buildings were constructed, costing 120 million gold coins.
“Fengle Village has insufficient remaining finances. Should the village chief advance the payment? If the village chief advances the payment, all revenue from this project will first be used to repay the village chief, and an additional 5% interest on gold coins will be earned!”
9280 units! This can house 9280 people! Ye Yun did not consider the cost at all, joking about the 5% interest!
“Bind all residential units to the God Refining Tower and open them for rent. The lowest floor costs 1000 gold coins per day, with an additional 100 gold coins for each floor up. Fengle Village residents will receive a 10% discount!”
Such residences would be of little use in other villages or small towns, primarily inhabited by natives.
However, in a main city, their utility would be immense. The most obvious benefit would be a synergistic connection with certain specific buildings, such as Fengle Village’s God Refining Tower!
Residential units (rental): Bound to the God Refining Tower. Players resting within their residences can enjoy the effects of the God Refining Tower. After three effects, they will receive an additional attribute point +1! (God Refining Tower fees will be charged separately).
This is equivalent to selling attribute points indirectly. Is 300 gold coins for one point expensive? Even without a discount, it's only 3000 gold coins. If one truly wanted to spend gold coins to instantly acquire attribute points, it would cost a staggering 100,000 gold coins!
Ye Yun was certain that once these 9280 units were released, the middle-class players would book these residences long-term.
Calculated this way, the investment would be recouped in less than 45 days. Furthermore, due to the significant discounts, the compensation required to leave Fengle Village would be so high that it would excite Ye Yun.
And for those who couldn't leave, it would elevate the foundational strength of his future faction by at least one level!
The revenue from this building for the first 47 days would go into Ye Yun’s pocket, translating to nearly 2.7 million gold coins per day. After that, all income would go into the village’s treasury.
“Holy crap, am I seeing things? What is that building, a skyscraper?” a player exclaimed, looking at the rising structures.
“Nonsense, our village is truly extraordinary. First the dungeon, then the God Refining Tower and Skill Academy, and now this… it’s simply a miracle.”
“Damn it, everyone hurry up! My friend just messaged me saying the houses have special effects. Hurry up. Hope there’s still some pie left to share!”
“Residences? Are you sure they’re not hotels? The rent is more expensive than a motel in our county! I wonder if they have… that…”
“Can you gain an attribute point or 100,000 gold coins by lying in a motel in your county for three days? Brother, I’m not trying to be rude, but your looks suggest you’re not the type to stay in hotels legitimately.”
“Bro, you’re going too far with the suggestive talk, don’t scare my boyfriend away…”
The village is both vast and small. But when news spreads, these players are more formidable than grandmothers in the capital. Soon, the effects of the residences spread throughout the village, and some smart ones even started recording videos, preparing to post on the Heavenly Dao forum.
“Heh heh, the real estate model has begun. Let them taste the sweetness first, then we’ll start the sales model. I wonder if they can endure it.” Through the sand table, Ye Yun monitored all movements within the village.
I seem to hear the sound of gold coins flowing like a river. I wonder if they’ll be chased after when they find out the truth later.
The equipment acquisition on the forum wasn’t ideal. Such equipment was rare and niche. Even if some players obtained it, they would often sell it to the blacksmith shop for a few pieces of copper.
Equipment - Boots of Calm (Green · Soldier)
Movement Speed: 1
Usage Level: 1
Class Restriction: Priest, Warlock, Mage.
Attributes: Skill cooldown time +2%.
——————————————
Equipment - Luoyu Gloves (Green · Soldier)
Attack Speed: +5%
Usage Level: 1
Class Restriction: Priest, Warlock, Mage.
Attributes: Skill cooldown time +3%.
These two pieces of equipment were practically trash among beginner gear. Despite being green soldier-grade, they were inferior to common white common-grade equipment. Yet, Ye Yun spent 25 million gold coins on these two items!
A 5% reduction in cooldown time was negligible, a matter of milliseconds for all classes. Ye Yun's purchase was widely criticized online as foolish.
However…
Ye Yun watched as the 'Gold Touch' skill, which originally had a 62-hour cooldown, was reduced to 58.9 hours after equipping these items. He immediately decided to continue acquiring more, prioritizing other slots! The utility of this equipment would only increase with more uses of 'Gold Touch'.
“I can’t wait any longer, let’s go directly.”
The skills were barely up to par, attribute points had been purchased, and cooldown equipment was somewhat satisfactory.
“Use - Hunting Ground Ticket.”
“Please select the difficulty level!”
The Hunting Ground mode was divided into five levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, Hell, and Abyssal. The monster levels, quantities, and respawn rates differed across the five modes. In the previous life, someone had specifically compiled statistics for the five modes of the Hunting Ground.
Easy level Hunting Ground: Monsters level 40, 1000 appear at once. After a player kills a monster, replacements would respawn in about 30 seconds.
Normal level Hunting Ground: Monsters level 45, 3000 appear at once. After a player kills a monster, replacements would respawn in about 25 seconds.
…
Ye Yun directly chose the highest level, Abyssal mode. Monster level 60, green soldier-grade! 10,000 appear at once. After a player kills a monster, replacements would respawn in about 5 seconds.
A mode that few dared to challenge in the previous life. Even the top players who had reached level 70 or above. This was due to the absurd number of monsters within. Ye Yun dared to choose this mode, firstly due to his experience from the previous life, secondly due to his own strength, and most importantly, because he possessed AoE skills and the aggro-drawing machine, Little Black.
Swish…
Ye Yun, within the Qitian Tower, instantly vanished and reappeared in a massive octagonal plaza. The entire plaza was surrounded by a city wall dozens of meters high, resembling a coiled dragon under the night sky. Occasionally, the roars of countless beasts could be heard from beyond the city walls within the plaza.
“Ten thousand years have passed, yet a human descendant can still set foot in the Hell Hunting Ground.” A speck of light suddenly appeared in the darkness, then grew larger and brighter, illuminating the entire plaza as bright as day in a short moment.
A figure appeared high in the sky, looking down at Ye Yun, and murmured softly.
“Shadow of the Ancient Sage? Light of Hope?” The figure in the sky was indistinct, but Ye Yun knew it was a light of hope left by a human ancient sage!
Something that only existed in Abyssal mode. It was said that if one could survive for an hour in this mode, they would receive a gift from that ancient sage.
This gift could be attribute points, skills, equipment, or high-level consumables.
Unfortunately, this figure had no consciousness, like a pre-programmed entity, floating in the air.
“System prompt: Under the ‘Divine Light’ of True Man Qingyue, your attack power is increased by 20%, valid for 30 minutes. Monsters will respawn in 10 seconds. Please prepare yourself.”
A 20% attack bonus? An AoE buff skill?
Ye Yun stared at the figure in the sky in shock, a flicker of fervor in his eyes. As expected of a True Man-level powerhouse!
A True Man, in terms of player levels, was in the 80 to 90 level range. However, their HP needed to exceed 800,000, and their attack and defense also needed to meet specific requirements before being certified by the Human Race Heavenly Pagoda to receive this title!
This skill was incredible. AoE buff skills were already rare, and this one provided a 20% increase! Most importantly, it lasted for half an hour.
To what terrifying level would his attack power reach?
Ye Yun quickly summoned the Black Ant, equipped the experience orb, and then watched as countless pillars of light shot up from all over the plaza, bracing himself. After all, it was his first time entering Abyssal mode, and nervousness was unavoidable.
