Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 62: Inviting someone to dinner and buying the estate

"Your odds for this match are 1:1.34, and the Black Dragon Coin has now surpassed 58 trillion!"

Babata's face immediately lit up with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

"not bad."

Jiang Chen looked at the balance of over 58 trillion in his bank card on his personal terminal and nodded in satisfaction.

These thousand battles not only honed his swordsmanship to an unfathomable level, but also brought him immense wealth.

And now, it's time to consider leaving the Giant Axe Arena and returning to Earth.

However, before leaving, he wanted to treat Sophie to another meal, firstly to expand their relationship, and secondly to make some preparations for returning to the Giant Axe Arena in the future.

With that thought in mind, he left the room and went to Sophie's office.

"Congratulations, little guy! You've really become a giant axe warrior."

Sophie looked at the giant axe medal on Jiang Chen's left chest and couldn't help but feel dazed, recalling the scene when she first met Jiang Chen.

At that time, she didn't take Jiang Chen seriously at all, thinking that he would die in the arena after a few rounds at most.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen not only escaped unscathed, but also soared into the sky, winning a thousand life-or-death duels with overwhelming force and earning the title of Giant Axe Warrior.

"It was just luck."

Jiang Chen showed no smugness. "Senior Sophie, do you remember the promise you made to me?"

"What promise? I didn't know anything about it!"

Sophie smiled slightly and blinked innocently.

"Sophie once said that if I win, you will treat me to dinner, no matter how fancy the restaurant is."

Jiang Chen said somewhat angrily, "Has Senior Sophie really forgotten?"

"Shall I treat you to dinner?"

Sophie frowned slightly: "You said you were the one treating me to dinner, weren't you?"

"So Sophie-senpai hadn't forgotten!"

Jiang Chen looked at her with a smile.

"You little rascal, you were just trying to trick me."

Sophie couldn't help but laugh, giving Jiang Chen a sidelong glance, looking extremely alluring.

"I have official business to attend to during the day, how about tonight?"

"Alright, let's choose Mingyue Restaurant then."

Jiang Chen had already asked Babata to make a reservation at Mingyue Restaurant.

"Bright Moon Restaurant? Looks like you're quite wealthy, little guy."

Sophie was slightly surprised. She glanced at Jiang Chen but didn't say anything and agreed.

After chatting with Sophie for a few more minutes, Jiang Chen left the Giant Axe Arena.

Then, he transformed back into his original form and went to Dragon City to handle other matters.

Within the city of Qiulong, in a bustling area, a majestic high-rise building rises, exuding a strong sense of technological beauty.

"Gu Yun Real Estate Company, this is it."

Jiang Chen looked at the huge "GG" sign on the building and walked inside.

"Sir, are you looking to buy a house?"

As soon as I walked in, a gentle and charming staff member came to greet me.

"I want to buy a manor. It needs to be large, have a good environment, strict security, and complete facilities. Can you help me find one?"

Jiang Chen stated his requirements directly.

"manor!"

The staff member looked slightly surprised when he heard that Jiang Chen actually wanted to buy the manor.

As the core trading planet of hundreds of star systems, Qiulong Star, with its beautiful scenery and pleasant environment, is a favorite place for many powerful beings in the universe to live.

This has led to incredibly high property prices here; even ordinary houses are worth millions of Black Dragon Coins.

As for the manor, it is even more valuable, at least worth 100 billion Black Dragon Coins.

However, if we follow the request that Jiang Chen just made...

With its flawless size, environment, security, and facilities, this manor is worth over 500 billion Black Dragon Coins!

Such a huge transaction amount was beyond her control; she had to report it to a higher-level manager.

So the staff member took Jiang Chen to the VIP room and notified the manager to come over.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang Chen, is that right? My name is Blaise. I heard you're interested in buying a manor?"

A short man, who looked like a rag doll, walked in with a smile and said very kindly.

"That's right, you should already know the manor's requirements, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded and asked.

"My subordinates have already told me that this is the information about the manor that I have compiled for Mr. Jiang, which meets your requirements. Please take a look."

Blaise pressed the remote control, and a 3D projection of a miniature castle manor immediately appeared.

"This manor is three kilometers long and wide, located next to Tianjing Lake, equipped with cosmic-level security, with three thousand servants and tens of thousands of slaves."

"It includes private training rooms, combat rooms, meeting halls, bars, libraries..."

After giving a brief overview of the castle estate's features and basic information, Blaise then stated the price of the estate.

"This estate is priced at 80 billion. Mr. Jiang is a new client of my Guyun Real Estate Group, so we can offer a discount of 9.5%."

"It's okay, but let's look at some others that are more expensive."

Jiang Chen shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Blaze's eyes lit up.

"Looks like we have a big client this time!"

Blaise quickly clicked the remote control to switch to other luxurious manors and castles, and then enthusiastically introduced them to Jiang Chen.

After visiting one manor after another, Jiang Chen finally chose a huge manor worth 280 billion.

This estate stretches for ten kilometers in length and width, resembling a small city. It is located near the azure sea of ​​Qiulong Star, boasting a remarkably beautiful environment.

Equipped with security measures at the domain lord level, it can withstand even attacks from a first-tier domain lord.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Within the manor, there were 100,000 servants and over a million slaves to attend to his daily life.

However, Jiang Chen disliked using slaves, so he asked Blaise to abolish all slaves and keep only the 100,000 servants.

After purchasing the property, Jiang Chen also obtained the status of a two-star resident of Qiulong Star.

Generally speaking, only by settling down on Qiulong Star and owning a property can one become an ordinary resident of Qiulong Star.

If one owns real estate worth tens of billions, one can obtain the status of a one-star citizen.

If one owns real estate on Qiulong Star with a value of hundreds of billions, one can obtain the status of a two-star citizen.

As for Samsung citizens, it's not about the value of their real estate, but about their level of competence and strength.

Only those at the Domain Lord level can obtain the status of a three-star resident of Qiulong Star.

Once you have resident status on Qiulong Star, you will enjoy great convenience on the planet.

Examples include immunity from criminal charges, the right to dispose of slaves, tax exemptions on goods, and the right of first refusal.

The higher a resident's status, the higher their position on Qiulong Star, and the more benefits they receive.

Even an ordinary resident has a unique advantage over outsiders on Qiulong Star.

As for residents of two stars like Jiang Chen, they can practically do whatever they want on Qiulong Star.

"Mr. Jiang, all the procedures for this manor have been completed and it has been transferred to your name."

"For the next hundred years, our company will pay the property fees, management fees and security fees for this manor on your behalf."

"One hundred years from now, Mr. Jiang will need to pay it himself."

Blaze and Jiang Chen were standing in the open space of the manor, conducting the final handover.

"I see."

Jiang Chen nodded, looking at the 100,000 servants standing not far ahead.

These servants were all selected by Jiang Chen according to his Earthly aesthetic standards; the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, each costing 50,000.

Most of the servants were only at the apprentice level and didn't even have citizenship.

However, they are not slaves, but prospective citizens. Once they break through to the apprentice level, they can go to the office buildings on various planets of Black Dragon Mountain and obtain Black Dragon Mountain citizenship.

Besides these mostly apprentice-level servants, there are also a small number, about a thousand or so planetary-level servants.

These servants are all citizens of Black Dragon Mountain and have basic protections. They cannot be killed or disposed of at will, otherwise the Black Dragon Mountain Empire will hold them accountable.

However, now that Jiang Chen has the identity of a second-star resident of Qiulong Star, even if he kills a few people, it won't be a big problem.

At most, they'll just have to pay a fine, and then they won't pursue the matter further.

In addition to these more than a thousand planetary-level servants, there are also more than a hundred constant-level servants.

These star-level servants are usually the leaders of the servants and are responsible for various aspects of the manor.

"Hello, Young Master Jiang Chen, I am Hyman, the head butler of this manor."

An elderly man with gray hair, who looked kind and gentle, bowed politely to Jiang Chen.

"Hyman has been working in the butler industry for many years and is very experienced. Mr. Jiang Chen, you can give him any instructions you may have for the manor, and he will definitely handle everything in a good manner."

Blaise said with a smile.

"This manor is just a place for me to stay on Qiulong Star. When I have something to do, I may stay here for several years."

"If there's nothing else, I might not be able to come for a long time, so I'll have to trouble you, Hyman."

Jiang Chen gave a brief overview of his situation.

"Damn it, money talks. Just for a place to stay, they're willing to spend 280 billion Black Dragon Coins. It's unbelievable."

Blaze couldn't help but feel incredibly envious of Jiang Chen's wealth and power.

Hyman, having worked as a butler for many years, was already used to the extravagant spending of the wealthy and simply smiled and nodded.

"I understand, Young Master Jiang Chen. Whether you are here or not, I will do my best to manage all the affairs of the manor for you."

Next, accompanied by Hyman, Jiang Chen toured the manor to familiarize himself with it.

Then they left and returned to Qiulong City, arriving at a vast and spacious treasure shop.

Inside the Qibao store, Jiang Chen first purchased a Tier 3 top-grade Force Battle Blade, which cost him 500 billion Black Dragon Coins.

With Jiang Chen's current strength, the original Starfall Battle Blade is no longer suitable for him, so it is natural for him to change to a new battle blade.
