Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 62 Buying Land
One-third of the land in the East Second District is available for sale, and it is sold by the acre.

On average, one acre of land costs 50 gold coins.

One mu of land is 666 square meters.

Lin Hanchuan entered the server a year after it opened, and did not enjoy the land bonus. At that time, he bought a piece of land in Dongfeng City to build a residence, which cost him 50,000 gold coins.

That piece of land was less than 200 square meters in total.

Compared to current prices.

The land was so cheap that Lin Hanchuan's heart trembled.

However, land prices vary in different cities.

The remote city of Wangyue is only a fourth-tier city in the official urban planning of the Ninth District of [Descent]. Compared with first, second and third-tier cities, the land is naturally cheaper.

"Different regions, different land prices."

The bald man watched as Lin Hanchuan picked up the second map and began to mutter in a formulaic, expressionless voice.

"In the East Second District you just looked at, the average land price is 50 gold coins per mu. If you purchase 10 mu or more, you can enjoy a 10% discount."

"The map you are looking at now is in the East Third District. The average land price is 45 gold coins per acre. The discount is the same as in the East Second District: 10% off for 10 acres."

"The preferential policies for land sales in other areas of Wangyue City are similar; the more you buy, the more discounts you get."

"According to the laws promulgated by the Green Sea Federation, after purchasing the land, you, as the owner, enjoy perpetual rights. You do not need to pay taxes when building civilian residences. However, if it is a commercial building such as a factory, pharmacy, weapons shop, or auction house..."

The bald man was expressionless and sounded listless, but he was still dutiful and told Lin Hanchuan all the information about the land in detail.

"In addition, the southernmost part of the city, namely the 5,000 mu of agricultural land for sale in the South Sixth District, is cheap, at 2 gold coins per mu."

"But it can only be used for planting, growing grains, medicinal herbs, trees, whatever you want to plant. If you use it for other purposes, the city hall has the right to take it back unconditionally."

Lin Hanchuan quickly located the corresponding map from a pile of maps—[Wangyue City Land Planning Map (South Sixth District)]

There are very few buildings on it.

Almost all of them are blank.

All of these are lands that can be sold.

One of the contiguous plots of land, totaling 5,000 acres, is specifically marked as: [Planting Land], with a total price of 10,000 gold coins.

This price is so cheap it's practically free.

Lin Hanchuan took a deep breath.

A lone wolf player might not even consider it, but for Lin Hanchuan, who wants to establish a guild, this land is very important. A powerful guild must have a stable and self-sufficient system.

Medicine is one of the most important resources.

Its raw materials are mostly plant-based medicinal materials.

While you can buy medicinal herbs from other players, it's far less reliable than cultivating them on a large scale yourself. In the game, there's also a profession specifically for cultivation – the Cultivator.

The system does not mandate a specific location for planting medicinal herbs, but in terms of safety and convenience, planting within the city is the best option.

The farmland within the city is protected by the city guards, and anyone who damages or steals it will be punished by the city hall.

If it's outside the city, then I'll have to take care of it myself.

Being robbed or robbed is normal.

Lin Hanchuan really wanted it, but the problem was, he really didn't have the money right now.

With less than 2,400 gold coins, you can buy a maximum of 1200 acres of farmland with the full amount paid.

"Can I pay a deposit first, sign an agreement, and then pay the balance in a few days?" Lin Hanchuan put down the map, looked at the bald man, and asked. The bald man, already in a bad mood, immediately turned icy upon hearing that Lin Hanchuan couldn't pay the full amount, and retorted righteously, "A deposit first, then the balance? Do you think this is some kind of place...?"

He had barely uttered two sentences when the bald man stopped abruptly. He saw five gold coins slip out of Lin Hanchuan's sleeve and land on the map.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Hanchuan pushed the map towards the bald man, gesturing with his eyes—"This is yours."

The bald man looked at Lin Hanchuan with a suspicious expression.

After Lin Hanchuan nodded, giving another affirmative signal.

The bald man understood immediately. He glanced cautiously at his colleagues to make sure no one was looking his way, then slapped his hand onto the map. When he pulled his hand back, there were no more gold coins on the map.

"Cough cough!!"

When the bald man spoke again, his tone had changed.
"This is the Mochizuki City Hall, a place dedicated to serving everyone. You said before that you were a foreigner, right?"

“That’s right!” Lin Hanchuan nodded in agreement.

The bald man continued.

"Since you have come to our Moon Gazing City, you must have lofty ambitions. Our city hall naturally supports you foreigners to live and work in peace and contentment here."

"A deposit..."

The bald man suddenly opened his fist, which was resting on the table, and lightly tapped the table with his palm. He looked thoughtful and spoke hesitantly.

Lin Hanchuan immediately gave away five more gold coins.

Such a sensible foreigner brought a long-lost smile to the bald man's face. "It's not impossible. I can apply to the city lord on behalf of the Wangyue City Land Transaction Center."

The fist opened into a palm, revealing five fingers.

Lin Hanchuan handed over five more gold coins.

The bald man touched the gold coins and, under Lin Hanchuan's gaze, took out a sound transmission stone.

A palm-sized, translucent white stone with simple handprint patterns carved on its surface can be used for short-range sound transmission.

He placed his palm on the stone, and when the communication stone was enveloped in a faint white light, indicating that the connection had been established, the bald man immediately said respectfully, "Lord City Lord, I have a foreigner here who wants to buy land. He is eager to invest in the future development of our Moon Gazing City, but he doesn't have enough cash on him right now and can only pay a partial deposit..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice came from the communication stone.

"I have other things to do, you decide on this!"

"Yes! Lord City Lord!"

After speaking respectfully, the bald man gently placed the communication stone back into the wooden box on the table, and then said to Lin Hanchuan, "You only need to pay five percent of the land you want to buy as a deposit. However, you only have three days. If you don't raise the remaining balance after three days, your deposit will be confiscated by the city hall."

“No problem!” Lin Hanchuan immediately agreed.

The price of gold coins changes daily.

In two more days, Lin Hanchuan will be able to buy gold coins himself.

Of course, besides this, Lin Hanchuan has another way to quickly obtain a large amount of gold coins.

"Next, let's confirm the location of the land you want to buy and the total amount you need to pay!" the bald man said, pointing to the map.

This time, his expression was much more amiable.
