Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Paving the Way to Wealth

Yao Ji immediately understood after hearing this point.

Her control over the rights within the Shelter was pitifully small, more like a control center that maintains the operation of the Shelter.

But as a core spiritual body, she indeed did not have the concept of "rights."

Since she was created, from the old times until now, the only concept instilled in her mind was "duty." The first duty was to find a suitable master and reactivate the various functions of the Shelter.

The second duty was to protect herself.

The third duty was to protect humanity.

These are the three iron-clad rules programmed into almost all core spiritual bodies of Shelters, unchangeable. Therefore, Shelters were established as strongholds of the Human Race in the Spirit Realm, like nails driven into the Spirit Realm.

Because the East Prosperity Imperial knew the Shelters would never escape their control.

Even if someone from Eternal Sleep City became the City Lord of a Shelter, they would still be restrained by various means from the East Prosperity Imperial and wouldn’t let such an important place escape control.

So.

Currently, although Baiyu has been recognized by Yao Ji, in reality, unless he gets official recognition from the Imperial, he has no real rights.

Everything still must follow the rules set by the Imperial.

But these accumulations.

Once Baiyu becomes stronger in the future, they will become his true support.

...

Although he couldn’t openly pull strings, with the information controlled by Yao Ji combined with Baiyu’s Baron status and other factors, he easily acquired the residency rights to this entire villa.

Ten million.

That was the price offered by the real estate manager with a tearful face.

He was still a Tier Eight Martial Artist.

But faced with the series of illegal business operations exposed by Baiyu, along with Baiyu’s status as a Baron, he couldn’t resist and had to grit his teeth and accept this price that could bankrupt him.

"Frankly speaking, Manager Niu, with your excellent business attitude, if I buy a house next time, I’ll definitely come to you."

Baiyu smilingly accepted the villa’s property deed.

This villa within the Shelter had a value of at least thirty million, yet with the illegal business information provided by Yao Ji and the noble status of a Baron, Baiyu managed to acquire it for just ten million.

The other party didn’t really commit big mistakes.

It was merely providing some favoritism to a few relatives within the Shelter, purchasing properties, and taking kickbacks. But if these things were exposed, especially by a Baron,

his head might be used by the Government as a sacrificial offering to the heavens.

Even if he was a Tier Eight Martial Artist.

Even if his cultivation was higher than Baiyu’s.

Even if he had worked at the Shelter for more than ten years.

This is the power of the Imperial.

"Baron, you jest. It’s my honor to be of service to you," Manager Niu forced out a smile, bent over, and sent Baiyu out like a god of plague.

Once Baiyu completely disappeared, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Uncle, this kid took our villa for just ten million, if the company investigates this deficit..." a blond beside him spoke reluctantly.

"Of course, we’ll cover the deficit ourselves. This Baron looks like a Pioneer Nobility, who somehow gathered the evidence and now holds our weakness. I’m afraid he’ll threaten us again in the future!"

Niu Chongtian’s voice was cold.

Traditional nobles usually cherished their reputations and wouldn’t do such things.

Only those newly appointed Pioneer Nobility of the Imperial, who have titles but lack matching economic power,

would do such shameless things.

Niu Chongtian wondered how this kid got hold of solid evidence despite him doing these things like taking kickbacks and giving back doors covertly over the years.

"Uncle, are we really going to let this kid threaten us?"

"Of course not, two million, ah, we’d need at least two million to fill this villa’s deficit. And if that kid comes to threaten us again, what then?"

"But, he seems to be a noble..."

"What of it? Inside the Shelter, few nobility haven’t died? Every year, many noble children from those great families come to Shelters to practice and end up dying. The death of one or two nobles is nothing, as long as we clean up well. This kid just arrived at the Shelter yet acts so arrogantly, really doesn’t know how to spell the word ’death.’"

Niu Chongtian’s expression grew colder.

Having operated within the Shelter for many years, his network was vast, having resolved various thorny issues, ultimately under his control.

Let this kid be smug for a while.

...

Baiyu vaguely guessed Niu Chongtian’s thoughts, but he didn’t care.

With the property deed of Villa Number Six in hand, he returned home.

Transforming his base was a troublesome affair. In the afternoon, he visited the transaction area of the Shelter and purchased a large number of instruments for Magic Elixir experiments, Exotic Beast material analysis, and magical items analysis, moving them into the villa.

The entire villa had three floors.

The first floor housed the hall, kitchen, bathroom, and reception room and so on.

The second floor was mainly bedrooms and storage rooms.

The third floor was transformed by Baiyu into a specialized training ground. Because Cang Yan would forge magical items, Baiyu specifically set up a forging room for her. .com

Altogether, Baiyu spent five million on all this.

The cost of facilities was high, and researching Magic Elixirs and so on was even more expensive.

Seeing the money from selling all his properties reduced to just twenty-five million, Baiyu felt a bit melancholic. This business really burns money like water, but such necessary investments must be made.

"Next, I still need to set aside fifteen million as the startup capital for the company with Ning Qian’s father. If operated properly, I can at least establish several lines within the Shelter. The profit from medicinal herbs and materials is terrifying."

Baiyu deeply understood the terrifying profit margins in the medicinal herbs and materials industry.

Once a sales route is established, he will have a continuous supply of funds for his cultivation and studies.

If the forty million just sits idly by, it will soon be spent.

After all.

He also had another money pit, Erza.

Every shot fired costs money, the more money, the more Magic Energy Crystals, the greater the firepower.

Therefore, forty million.

Though it sounds like a lot, in reality, it won’t last long. Even if entirely used for cultivation, it would at most support Baiyu in becoming a Tier Six Martial Artist, an Extraordinary.

"The medicinal herb trade, this business not only needs the market but also a supply source. The most convenient supply source should be the Bounty Hunter Association."

Baiyu contemplated.

In the Bounty Hunter Association, he had several acquaintances. fre ewe bnove l.com

He also held a functional identity within the Bounty Hunter Association; in Linjiang City, with Pang Fei and Qiong Jiu backing, combined with the Baron status and the Third Prince behind, as well as Ning Fugui’s resources.

Establishing a comprehensive production and sales chain for Exotic Beast materials and medicinal herbs is not difficult.

Currently, the priority is to recruit a powerful force to maintain stability.

This Baiyu had already thought of.

Qiong Jiu.

His beautiful homeroom teacher.
