#340 - Buying land

Li Sheng first went to the black market and sold all the items produced by the toy factory this month, earning more than 16,000 game coins.

He went to the auction house again and put the [Breakdance King Boots] up for sale at a price of 11,000. In less than half an hour, an anonymous player bought it at a price of 16,000.

After deducting the auction house's handling fee, adding the 8,000 points given by the Xianting Lawyer Mission, and the 4,049 originally saved, his net worth officially exceeded 40,000 and reached 46,113.

The streets are crowded with people, and the neon lights on both sides of the road are colorful. There are karaoke bars, dance halls, game halls, movie theaters, saunas and baths.

"Come and play, handsome boy~"

A pure and charming voice sounded from across the street. Two older sisters in cool clothes leaned against the wall and waved to Li Sheng. The neon sign above their heads projected the words "Bloody Fight Club".

"Uh, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Li Sheng declined the offer and walked away quickly.

According to the player forum, this [Bloody Fight Club] is suspected to be a joint venture between the South American drug cartel and the Thousand Maw Beast Guild.

It has an unlimited fighting arena and a monster breeding chamber built in.

Players can use the brain-computer interface to control monsters to fight on the field, just like controlling game characters.

Whether it is killing the opponent or being killed by the opponent, in the extremely realistic near-death stimulation, you can relieve and express your suppressed emotions.

The average life expectancy of the player group is less than two and a half years. The extremely high mortality rate brings tremendous survival pressure, causing many players to suffer from mental illnesses of varying degrees.

Controlling monsters to engage in highly realistic death battles and feeling the thrill of near-death are considered milder symptoms than self-mutilation, ice skating, etc.

As far as Li Sheng knows, there were players who took drugs to develop split personalities. Every time they were given a script mission, they would switch to a sinister and resolute personality.

After completing the task, you can switch to the main personality and enjoy life.

As for the final result, it was not like what many literary works describe, where the secondary personality was dissatisfied for a long time and used conspiracy to kill the main personality and take over himself.

Instead, the main personality went to GS Biotech, which gave him a cloned body with a different personality, and inserted the secondary personality into it, and the two of them got married and lived together.

All I can say is that the killing field was so huge that all kinds of things were possible.

Li Sheng walked quickly through the alleys and streets, declining gym memberships and Amway sales pitches along the way, and arrived at the government building on the alley.

That's right, now that the toy factory is running smoothly and the monthly income is stable, it's time to buy a piece of land on a back street and open a store. This will save me from having to pay the auction house a handling fee every time I buy something.

“The self-service business of real estate acquisition is here.”

The government building was empty and there were few people. Li Sheng glanced at the map on the wall, walked towards the self-service terminal, and began to choose land.

When the killing field first arrived, the major guilds, led by GOC, discovered Slum Street and realized that players in Slum Street could not hurt each other, so the major guilds immediately started a fierce struggle over the ownership of Slum Street. Many people died.

It was not until the parties were tired of fighting that they sat down to negotiate and jointly develop the slums. They also sent representatives to form a committee and build a government building.

The water, electricity, gas, internet, garbage and sewage disposal services in the shanty street are all under the management of the government building.

If a player wants to buy land and open a store, he or she must also go to the building to handle it.

"Why are the housing prices in the city center so expensive? A 400-square-meter apartment costs 150,000 game coins. You guys don't make as much money as robbing a bank."

Li Sheng looked at the price of the available land displayed on the self-service terminal and couldn't help but be amazed.

The average purchase price of a high-rise office building in downtown New York is only RMB 120,000 per square meter, while the land price on the slum has soared to a terrifying RMB 3.75 million per square meter, which is more than 31 times the price of the former.

This does not include the high premium when large amounts of game currency are exchanged for real money.

"Forget it, let's look somewhere else."

Li Sheng decisively swiped the screen, "This piece of land is good, 45,000 game coins, 200 square meters"

"Uh, ant?"

A familiar voice came from behind, Li Sheng turned around and saw a red rider wearing a motorcycle helmet, holding a registration form, with Bai Ji Xiong standing next to him.

"Oh, it's you two."

Li Sheng spoke in a relaxed tone. The Red Driver was an old acquaintance of his. Baijixiong had also been his teammate in the Alien World Collapse mission before. "Are you two here to register for the license?"

"? What certificate are you going to get? This isn't the Civil Affairs Bureau."

The driver scratched his helmet uncomfortably and raised the registration form in his hand, "We are here to pay the fire bill."

The Red Racer and the Polar Bear are friends who have known each other in the real world. They rented an open space at the edge of the slum and used it as a park to breed monsters and train magical pets. They also posted short videos and earned some fees for bringing in goods.

However, if you raise too many monsters, accidents are likely to happen. A few days ago, an underage fire dragon escaped from its cage and sprayed fire everywhere in the park, almost causing a fire. The driver came here today to pay the firefighting fee.

"Uh, Brother Ant, are you here to buy land?"

Baijixiong had sharp eyes and noticed the self-service terminal behind Li Sheng.

"Yes," Li Sheng nodded and said, "I plan to open a small shop and run a small business."

“.”

The driver and Baijixiong looked at each other, unable to hide their astonishment.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Renting land and buying land in a slum are completely different concepts. When you rent land, you pay a little rent every month, and the rest of the money can be used to strengthen yourself.

Buying land once would cost tens of thousands of game coins, which is enough to buy several pieces of perfect quality equipment. Some high-level transcendents at Lv25 or even Lv30 probably cannot afford so much cash.

Bai Ji Xiong hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask curiously: "Well, can you please ask Brother Xianxiao what your store mainly does?"

"The main business should be to accept commissions and help people customize equipment and skill scrolls."

Li Sheng casually said, "By the way, I can also open physical strengthening and medical services, and occasionally I can act as a veterinarian."

ah.

ah?

The driver and Baijixiong were both bewildered. You know, even in a large guild like Prometheus that has many logistics players, only VIP and VVIP customers are eligible to customize equipment.

As for customized skill scrolls, they had never seen them before.

More importantly, logistics skills usually only specialize in one direction.

Ant can customize equipment and scrolls, and also provide physical enhancement and medical services. Could it be that he has two logistical abilities?

Buddy, have you opened it? Can I share the parameters by joining the group?

Bai Ji Xiong hesitated and asked, "What form does medical service take?"

"We can treat all the diseases, including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, and anorectal medicine. But the solutions may not be so conventional."

Li Sheng coughed lightly, and the Modified Assembled Doll with the Technological Singularity Device installed on it could be effective on others.

It can ignore the laws of physics and the biological immune system and modify organisms at will.

Heart disease? Take out your heart and put a high-powered engine in it. Your athletic ability will soar and your heart rate will be comparable to that of an imperial engine.

Cancer? Remove the cancerous organs, replace the lungs with air purifiers, replace the large and small intestines with PVC hoses, and replace the nerves with optical fibers.

Broken limbs? Come on, the left is a mechanical prosthesis, the right is a Warcraft limb, there is always one suitable for you, guaranteed to have no rejection reaction.

Even for terminal illnesses that directly affect the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and brain cancer, Li Sheng has ways to deal with them.

First, turn on the information integration glasses to find the diseased area, then use the assembly puppet to remove the diseased area, and finally add two CPUs.

I guarantee that an elderly person with dementia can become a speed calculation expert in seconds, the kind that can be on the show "Super Brain".

If the patient's family does not mind, Li Sheng can even transform the dying patient into a super soldier with three hearts and two lungs, copper skin, iron bones, titanium alloy spine, electronic eyes and radar ears, a Gatling gun in the left hand and a bazooka in the right hand, a cluster of mind-controlled suicide drones, and a turbofan engine on the back.
