Chapter 1006 - Buying a house!



Chapter 1006: Buying a house!

“I also think that our future commander should be ranked number one. Look at those other supernatural beings. None of them can take the head of an enemy general who’s protected by a 10,000-strong army, right?” The pedestrians on the street said excitedly, “The Zhou Consortium is also one of the three biggest consortiums in the Central Plains, but look what happened in the end? They were still easily taken down by our future commander!”

Of course, the Zhou Consortium was not going to collapse immediately because of Ren Xiaosu. Although three of their leaders had died, a successor was put in place in the aftermath. Although a series of internal power struggles had also started, the consortium did not collapse.

But that was what the Northwesterners enjoyed saying. In their opinion, it was only a matter of time before the Zhou Consortium was annexed by the Wang Consortium.

If it were any other place, Ren Xiaosu would just be seen as a normal superhuman and everyone’s impression of him would be, “Wow, he’s so powerful. But is it really OK to assassinate so many big shots of a consortium?”

But it was different in the Northwest. Here, they would say, “As expected of our future commander!”

When the Zong Consortium was still standing in the Northwest, the loyalty of the people under them had started leaning towards Fortress 178. In the early years, a lot of people even secretly fled there.

Now that Fortress 178 had taken over all of the Northwestern strongholds, everyone could see that their days were getting better. As such, they naturally felt that they were also Fortress 178’s people and gradually started to get a sense of belonging.

Actually, the rankings list was still a little inaccurate. For example, Luo Lan knew that Li Shentan was unable to hypnotize Ren Xiaosu. Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue’s ranking was a little too low.

That was because Zhou Yingxue was not involved in that many battles to date. When she fought on Mt. Zuoyun, the Experimentals who witnessed her power all died. When she took action in Luoyang City, the hitmen who saw her were also wiped out.

It was not Hu Shuo’s fault since Zhou Yingxue had indeed been too ruthless on both those occasions.

However, the accuracy of the entire list was pretty good. Previously, when someone announced they wanted to rank all the supernatural beings, it caused a buzz among many people. And now, the publication of this magazine truly did not let anyone down.

On top of that, Hu Shuo must have also earned a lot from this publication.

That old man wanted to establish a large, covert intelligence network but funding had always been a problem. Although he still had some savings in the Southwest, it was not enough to run something like an intelligence network.

Li Shentan’s power should be able to make him money very easily, but that grandson of his was not interested in making money at all and only knew how to spend.

In fact, he was really generous when it came to spending.

When he intercepted the Zong Consortium’s gold, he actually gave all of it to Ren Xiaosu. This made Hu Shuo’s head throb just thinking about it. He was even tempted to include additional details in Ren Xiaosu’s description in the rankings!

A pedestrian in Stronghold 144 also had some doubts. “I wonder who created this rankings list. How are they so well-informed? We Northwesterners don’t even know that our future commander has done so many things. This is just like reading a novella. This is awesome!”

“Who cares who wrote it? The future commander’s ranking is definitely wrong!”

When Ren Xiaosu heard the pedestrian say that, he broke into a smile. However, Yang Xiaojin rolled her eyes and pulled him along as she continued walking forward. “What, do you plan on joining their conversation? Hurry, let’s go buy the house. Otherwise, we’ll have to stay at the hotel again tonight. We arranged to meet the owners at 2:30 PM, so let’s not be late.”

Since the two of them did not even have a place to stay after arriving here, they would definitely have to first buy a house that was suitable for them to live in for the long term. They would definitely still have to go to Fortress 178 in the future, but since this place was also under the Northwest’s rule, there was no fear that it would go to waste.

Even Wang Fugui did not know they had come to Stronghold 144 this time. All they wanted was to have some peace and quiet to live their lives for the time being.

Having been in the Central Plains for so long, all they did was fight and kill enemies every day. As such, both Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were starting to feel a little tired. Both of them just wanted to lead normal lives.

Speaking of which, they even missed the times when they went to school together.

However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly remembered something. “Hey, what do you think the group name ‘Zhou Yingxue and the Eight Vajras’ means? I can understand that the ‘Eight Vajras’ refers to Wang Yuchi and the other students, but why does it sound like a mafia nickname? It’s like the Eight Legions, or the Four Guardians,[1] that sorta thing…. Do you think she earned that nickname for the group by bossing her way around in the Northwest?”

“Are you very curious? Then why don’t you ask her yourself?” Yang Xiaojin shot him a glance.

“Hahaha, no, not at all,” Ren Xiaosu said with a laugh.

The two of them walked along Anning East Road towards the west. They did not intend to buy some standalone, luxurious villa. Instead, they got a real estate agent in the stronghold to find them an older courtyard house to view.

Yesterday, the realtor said the courtyard house neighborhood used to house the families of the Zong Consortium’s military personnel. Due to its old age, the houses here had changed hands several times and been converted into private residences.

This place was not as prosperous as the affluent neighborhood of Stronghold 144, but its selling point was that it was more secluded and quiet.

Every house was a two-story brick building, and there was a small backyard that measured more than 200 square meters.

The family that lived here was an old couple whose children had bought a house for them in a more upscale residential area after making some money doing business.

There was one thing that was particularly good about this courtyard house. Two peach trees had been planted in the backyard by the owners, so there would be plenty of fruit to enjoy every year when they ripened.

It was already spring, and the season of the peach harvest was not far away anymore.

There was a university and a high school in the vicinity. A marketplace sat two hundred meters to the left of the entrance of the property, and there was even a food street nearby. It could be said that this house was situated in an extremely lively location.

When Yang Xiaojin heard this recommendation, she immediately decided she wanted to buy this house.

After meeting up with the realtor at Anning East Road, Ren Xiaosu casually asked, “Is the business sector in Stronghold 144 very prosperous these days?”

“Of course.” The realtor said politely, “You two don’t look like locals. Why’ve you come here to the Northwest?”

“Oh, we also thought that there would be a lot of opportunities here, so we wanted to come and set up a small business,” Ren Xiaosu remarked.

“Then the two of you have come to the right place.” The realtor said with a smile, “In the past year, Stronghold 144 has become the distribution center for goods throughout the Northwest. It’s way too busy there. So many people have suddenly become tycoons. There’s really quite a lot of big merchants in Stronghold 144, and they’re not inferior to those in the Central Plains at all. Moreover, the Central Plains is in a state of war now, so a lot of refugees and rich people have migrated here. They say this place is a utopia. Two days ago, a businessman from the Wang Consortium wanted to settle down here. With so many people arriving, property prices in Stronghold 144 will definitely skyrocket. The two of you definitely won’t make any loss if you buy a house here.”

Ren Xiaosu smiled and nodded. “Alright, hopefully, what you say will come true.”

When they arrived at the courtyard house, the old couple who were selling the house and their children were all present. Everyone was very polite when they saw each other. Both sides roughly negotiated the price of the house: 300,000 yuan.

The old couple’s eldest son said, “You will definitely not be losing out at this price. Although it’s slightly higher than market price, you all should know that the value of property in Stronghold 144 is still increasing. Even if you buy it, you won’t incur any losses.”
