A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Lin Yang was too tired to complain.

As soon as they heard that they needed to enter the city and exchange money, the service and attitude took a 180-degree turn.

The warship landed directly, and two staff members wearing uniforms with the words "Kunyu Yunque" printed on them walked out.

One male and one female.

At the same time, he smiled at Lin Yang.

The female staff member quickly introduced:
"Welcome to Yunque City. The entry procedures are divided into short-term, medium-term and long-term. The short-term period starts from fifty years. The fee is five thousand Jingxu coins. At the same time, you need to be able to afford at least fifty years of rent in an ordinary residential area."

"According to the current lowest rent price for ordinary residential areas in the city, you need to pay at least 500,000 Jingxu coins and make sure to complete the rental procedures within three days of entering the city. Otherwise, your current prepaid fee will be deducted at 1.5 times the lowest rent price every day, and the violation list will be recorded."

"If you apply for medium-term and long-term residence permits in ordinary residential areas, you will enjoy additional discounts of 10% and 20% respectively."

"At the same time, after completing the procedures for living in the city for any period of time, as long as the time interval between entering and leaving the city does not exceed seven days, you will not have to pay the city entry fee. Otherwise, you will need to pay fifty city entry fees each time."

"Excuse me, sir, what kind of residence permit do you need to apply for?"

"..." Lin Yang was speechless for a while.

black.

It’s really too dark!
To enter the city you need to rent for at least fifty years.

Moreover, even if you rent a house, you still need to pay the city entry fee.

As for the fact that you don't need to pay extra entry fees every time you enter or leave the city within seven days...

Just listen.

If you live well in the city, you usually have something to do when you go out of town.

According to his general understanding of the environment around Yunque City during the journey, if he returned within seven days, it would basically only be enough time to take a walk around the city.

If you go a little further, it will be impossible to return within seven days.

This basically means that it is just a seemingly preferential measure, but it is rarely used in reality.

Of course, reducing the entrance fee from one hundred to fifty can barely be considered a real benefit that can be used.

But no matter how you look at it, it's indeed a bit too cruel.

They are exploiting from every aspect!
After all, being able to afford the rent is just the minimum standard. Even the lowest-level residential areas charge management fees and service fees.

After paying so many fees, they don’t even let go of the small profit of the city entrance fee.

Lin Yang really felt that it was not an exaggeration to call him a black-hearted person.

After a pause, Lin Yang sighed in his heart and asked:
"What about the high-end residential areas? What are the prices now?"

Although it was dark, he had no choice now.

Although the spiritual power outside the city is richer than that in the universe, it also contains more impurities.

The city is completely different.

The spiritual power in ordinary residential areas is twice that of outside the city, and it is very pure.

The spiritual power of intermediate residential areas can reach three to five times that of outside the city.

In high-end residential areas, the rate has soared to as much as ten times!
The gap is very large.

Therefore, his goal is very clear, which is the high-end residential area.

If you want to achieve breaking through the realm as quickly as possible and try to get a glimpse of the state of returning to the origin within seven hundred years, you cannot save money at all.

His entire current wealth, including the special resources Song Qingfeng gave him before he left, and the ancestors of the neutral factions he killed, as well as the spoils he had obtained from Bei Zhiyao and others.

If all were sold, it would probably fetch a little over 100 million.

Just enough to rent a high-end residential area for fifty years.

As for fifty years later, Lin Yang estimated that he would definitely be able to reach the realm of breaking through boundaries.

I'll find a way to make money when the time comes.

When they heard Lin Yang directly asking about the housing prices in high-end residential areas, the eyes of the two staff members, a man and a woman, brightened at the same time.

The female staff members' voices softened as they whispered:
"Sir, the average rent for a high-end residential area is about one million Realm Ruins coins per year. Add in management fees, service fees, spiritual power usage fees, etc., and the annual cost of living is about three million."

"If you go through the residency procedures for the senior residential area now, we can give you an additional discount of 1% of the total price and give you a ten-year management service fee card."

"With the card, you can be exempted from ten years of management fees and service fees. You only need to pay the spiritual power usage fee. The service management fee card can be split into a single annual deduction, or it can be used all at once to directly exempt all management service fees within ten years."

"Moreover, if you live in a high-end residential area, you can be exempted from all city entrance fees and service fees for most facilities in the city during your stay."

The female staff member introduced it with a bit of expectation and hope in her eyes, as if she really wanted Lin Yang to go through the check-in procedures for the high-end residential area directly.

The same was true for the male staff member next to him.

Lin Yang couldn't help but frown. His entire fortune was not enough to pay for fifty years of rent plus service management fees, spiritual power usage fees and other miscellaneous expenses in one go.

Simply paying the rent is fine.

But the extra cost is not enough.

Even if the service management fees are waived for ten years, it is still not enough.

"My god, the service fee and other miscellaneous fees added up to twice the rent..."

Lin Yang complained in his heart.

The rent is only one million per year, but after adding various expenses, the cost soars to three million, which is also outrageous.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Service management fees, etc. don't need to be paid in one lump sum now? Can they be paid separately?"

Hearing this, the two staff members looked more eager.

Normally, few people would ask about the situation in high-end residential areas, and Lin Yang's words meant that he basically wanted to move directly into the high-end residential area.

It just looks like there's still some money missing.

Or maybe, some bigger discounts are needed.

Therefore, the male staff member's eyes flickered, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Sir, the management service fee does not need to be paid in one lump sum. If you go through the move-in procedures for the high-end residential area with the two of us now, I can give you an additional 10-year management service fee card. This way, you can save a lot."

"You only need to pay the rent for fifty years and the fee for using your spiritual power in one lump sum."

"We can also waive the check-in fee for you directly."

"Even if you apply for admission to the high-end residential area, we can waive all the fees for exchanging Jingxu coins for you."

Hearing the male staff's words, the female staff looked at him in surprise, but her eyes flickered twice and she didn't say anything.

Lin Yang pondered for a moment.

He could also hear or see that the two staff members really wanted him to go through the check-in procedures for the high-end residential area directly on the spot, and the discount they offered should be the maximum.

After calculating in his mind, Lin Yang nodded and said in the expectant eyes of the two:
"Okay, then go directly to the short-term senior residential area check-in procedures."

Hearing that Lin Yang was determined to move into the high-end residential area, the two staff members could not help but show their joy and said repeatedly:
"Please wait on the warship, sir. We will handle all the relevant formalities for you!"

The two of them became much more humble and even used honorifics.

I was also very surprised.

Because Lin Yang looked like he had just arrived in Ruins Realm, it was rare for him to be able to afford to live in a high-end residential area on his first visit.

Regardless of their strength, they are absolutely VIP guests!
They were naturally much more polite and respectful.

Lin Yang nodded and boarded the warship.

He Linchuan tactfully waited outside.

Looking at Lin Yang's back, he was also shocked.

Although he knew that Lin Yang was very powerful, he could afford to live in a high-end residential area when he came out of the universe area for the first time.

It still shocked him.

After all, in the universe, if one’s talent is good enough, one can improve his strength to the point of breaking through the boundaries.

But this does not mean being rich, money from a higher dimension!
To be able to improve his strength to such a great level in the universe, all resources must have been invested in himself, and it is impossible for him to have any extra wealth.

After all, this is not the universe, and the various currencies in the universe have no value here at all.

But Lin Yang not only has extraordinary strength, he also has terrifying wealth.

This surprised He Linchuan even more.

He Linchuan found it hard to imagine what it meant to be able to increase one's strength to a level comparable to breaking through the realm in the universe while also saving a large amount of wealth.

"This lord is very powerful and has an astonishing amount of wealth, but he is not arrogant at all and is very kind..."

He Linchuan muttered to himself that he was really lucky this time.

It’s a pleasure to meet such a kind adult.

……

There was nothing special inside the battleship.

Obviously, this is just an ordinary business warship that patrols on weekdays.

"Sir, to check in, you need to pay the fee first. Can I pay in cash, by card, or with various materials?"

The female staff member handed Lin Yang a glass of drink with blue bubbles, and said:

"This is our Yunque City's special drink, the 'Blue Temptation'. It has a very unique taste and is also helpful for cultivation. Please enjoy it."

"Oh? It's good for spiritual practice?" Lin Yang was a little surprised. He took the blue drink and took a sip.

A taste that is hard to describe blooms in the mouth and dances lightly on the tip of the tongue.

Some are slightly sweet and a little sour.

It tastes a bit spicy in the throat, but not irritating.

After reaching the stomach, a warm current instantly spread throughout the body, as if the spiritual power in the body had been slightly increased.

The slight tiredness from traveling for many days was instantly swept away.

"This... can increase spiritual power?" After tasting it, Lin Yang was very satisfied and surprised.

Although the increase in spiritual power is very small, it is an increase after all.

He was somewhat amazed that drinks could actually increase spiritual power.

The female staff member smiled sweetly: "The Charm Blue Temptation does have such an effect, but it only has a slight effect on people who have never drunk it. After drinking it a few times, it will no longer have any effect. The main thing is that the taste and experience are good. The spiritual power that is increased can only be regarded as a byproduct and is not worth mentioning."

"Ok."

Lin Yang took another sip, then took out a large amount of special resources and said, "Use these to exchange for Jingxu coins to deduct the rent."

“So many world-breaking substances.”

The female worker showed a hint of surprise, but then said:

"Okay, sir, I'll count and exchange it for you."

soon.

The inventory was completed in front of Lin Yang.

The female staff member calculated and said:
"Sir, all of your world-breaking materials can be exchanged for a total of 123.64 million. According to the rules, a 1% handling fee should be charged, but this time it will be waived."

"Your rent plus the fee for using your spiritual power for fifty years is a total of 100 million. After a 1% discount, it is now 99 million."

"After deducting this part of the fee, you get 24,640,000. How should I pay you the difference?"

Lin Yang said directly: "Please apply for a card for me, and then directly deposit the price difference into the card."

"Okay, the service fee for the card is three thousand, but it will be waived for you this time. Please provide some basic information, or you can directly apply for an anonymous card." The female staff smiled.

"A anonymous card will do." Lin Yang shook his head.

It costs 3,000 yuan to apply for a card. This is really...

"If it's a bearer card, I have one ready-made here. I'll transfer the difference to you!"

The female staff member directly took out an anonymous card, operated it on the battleship's intelligent operating system, and then gave the card to Lin Yang, reminding him:

"You can use the card wherever you need to spend money, and you can check the balance at any time, but please note that you cannot reissue a bearer card if you lose it, and the money in the card can be withdrawn by anyone at any time."

Lin Yang nodded, put away the card, savored the temptation of Meilan, and waited for the male staff member to come back.

The female staff member hesitated for a while and suddenly said, "Sir, do you know He Linchuan outside?"

"Huh? He is my guide, what's wrong?" Lin Yang looked over in surprise.

"Oh... nothing, it's just that you seem to be here for the first time and don't know much about the situation in the city. The He family is not very friendly to He Linchuan and his sister. If he is just your guide, I suggest you separate from him after entering the city, otherwise it may cause the He family to be dissatisfied with you."

The female staff member said softly:
"Because the He family hopes that He Linchuan will die in the wild."

"Originally I shouldn't have said these words, but since this is your first time in Yunque City and you've brought us a great achievement, I still took the liberty to say it. You don't need to provoke a family that's not too weak just out of sympathy."

"You hired He Linchuan as your guide this time. I don't blame you for not knowing, but don't help him anymore."

"Oh..." Lin Yang's eyes flashed: "Why did the He family do this? They can't be unable to support a family member, right?"

"This... to put it simply, the current head of the He family, He Zhang, is the brother of He Linchuan's father. The original position of head of the family should have belonged to He Linchuan's father. The brothers had always been fighting for the position, and He Linchuan's father was even better."

The female staff member explained:
"But later, He Linchuan's father died in an accident, and He Zhang successfully became the current head of the He family. He Zhang...how should I put it, anyway, he really hates He Linchuan and his sister."

"Add to that the He Linchuan siblings, one with average talent and the other a sickly person, who can't bring any benefits to the family. Naturally, He Zhang and the others are even more unhappy with them."

"But because of the family's reputation, and because we heard that He Linchuan's father left behind an astonishing amount of wealth before his death, the He family couldn't do anything too openly. They just made some small moves, such as asking He Linchuan to go outdoors often, hoping that he would die outside."

"Although many people are quite sympathetic, sympathy is the most unacceptable thing in the Jingxu world."

"So... there's no need for you to help He Linchuan too much just because you feel sorry for him."

"..."

Lin Yang's eyes flickered as he looked at the female staff member: "Is the He family's affairs known to everyone?"

"About the same, but mainly because of the nature of my work, I know more about some of the news in the city."

The female staff member was very frank:

"As a city inspector, I naturally have to know more about the major families and masters in the city, as well as all kinds of gossip, so as to avoid stopping someone I shouldn't stop and losing my job."

"..." Lin Yang was stunned, then laughed: "It seems that my handling of the move-in of the high-end residential area has greatly improved your performance this time."

This is sincere.

But it can also be seen that this is the reason why he lives in a high-end residential area.

Otherwise, the staff member would not have said so much to him.

And they gave such a big discount.

The female staff member nodded again: "To be honest, it is true. After all, not everyone can afford to live in a high-end residential area."

"Moreover, Yunque City is close to Fenggang City in Jinshi Country, which is bigger and more prosperous. More people will choose to go to Fenggang City, and naturally there will be fewer people here. Your handling of this matter here has indeed increased our performance points a lot!"

"Oh..." Lin Yang nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The female staff member didn't say anything more.

She only gave a kind reminder out of kindness because Lin Yang gave her a great achievement.

Soon, the male staff member came back and respectfully handed Lin Yang a golden special card, saying:

"Sir, this is your proof of residence in the city. I have already completed all the formalities for you. Please keep it safe. You do not need to show this card at other times. You can activate it when you check in for the first time."

"I have also secured a yard with a better environment for you. I hope everything goes well for you in the city!"

"Now, you can go straight into the city and go home!"

Lin Yang took the card and put it away, nodding and saying, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The two of them bowed together to see Lin Yang off the warship.

Then the battleship took off.

A hole also appeared in the city's protective shield, allowing Lin Yang to pass through.

"He Linchuan, let's enter the city."

Lin Yang greeted He Linchuan.

"Thank you, sir!"

He Linchuan trotted to Lin Yang and followed him into the city.

Originally he needed to pay the city entrance fee, but apparently because of Lin Yang, he didn't have to pay it this time.

After entering the city, Lin Yang asked for He Linchuan's card information and transferred 20,000 yuan directly to him.

He Linchuan was shocked: "Sir, it doesn't take that much. The information and the guide will only cost 10,000. I'll return it to you."

"No need." Lin Yang waved his hand and walked towards the high-end residential area: "Let's separate here. See you again if we are destined to."

"Thank you, sir!"

He Linchuan bowed deeply towards Lin Yang's back, then walked quickly towards a pharmacy with joy.

In Yunque City, part of the area is modern high-rise buildings.

Some of them are ancient-style buildings.

"People from different universes and living habits have arrived here from various universes. The buildings are also divided into two types so that people who come here for the first time can integrate and find a sense of belonging as soon as possible. It's quite thoughtful."

Lin Yang walked slowly, appreciating and observing the situation inside Yunque City.

Here, modern technology blends with ancient style.

At first glance it seems a bit fragmented, but it blends together very well.

Most of the passers-by are at the ancestor level.

In some high-end shops nearby, most of the service staff are also at the Ancestor level.

But they are all ordinary first-level ancestors.

Occasionally there is a second level.

Spiritual realms are rare here.

"As expected of a high-level space-time, people from the Spirit Realm don't even have the qualifications to be waiters. They can only do odd jobs, or some smaller shops will hire people from the Spirit Realm to be waiters."

Lin Yang sighed and unknowingly arrived at his residence in the high-end residential area.

The male staff member was not exaggerating. The accommodation he got for him was indeed quite good, and the yard attached to it was more than twice as big as the other yards around it.

“It may be because the population living here is not full, but it’s not bad anyway.”

Lin Yang looked around and was quite satisfied.

Immediately, he used the golden card to activate the villa and entered the room.

In an instant, rich and refined spiritual power permeated throughout the entire courtyard.

“What a unique design.”

Lin Yang sighed for a moment, then began to absorb spiritual power without delay.

Every minute and every second living here is bought with money, and he is reluctant to waste time.

At the same time, when Lin Yang moved in, news that a newcomer had moved directly into the high-end residential area spread quickly throughout the city.
