Chapter 215: Chapter 216: Sunset Villa

As for the "Leader" attribute, it’s quite self-explanatory; it refers to the ability to recruit creatures from 9 different nests into your party. This has nothing to do with the tier of the creatures; as long as there’s room in the party, they can join. This attribute is top-tier, considering that most heroes can only recruit creatures from 7 different types of nests at once.

Then there’s the "Steward" attribute, huh... Chu You immediately chose to activate it!

Having a steward means granting this hero the authority to manage household affairs autonomously when the player is offline or unavailable.

The range of "household affairs" is quite broad, covering any property or other things under the player’s name - all of which the hero has the authority to manage!

Of course, if things go awry, the player will have to shoulder all the consequences.

What does creature escape rate mean? It means that if a hero was suddenly beheaded, the morale of the troops under his command would drop significantly, causing them to scatter and flee in fear. For example, if there are 100 Flower Demon troops, only 50 of them would be able to return to the player’s nest.

Chu You started to realize that every attribute of Cui Nuanjun was top-tier. However, his command value and special attribute were extraordinarily outstanding, even among the top-tier, to an outrageous extent!

As for the attribute of the Master of Troop Fusion Special Skills, that will be discussed at a later time!

Why can’t we see the true intelligence of a hero? This is a hidden attribute. To determine how intelligent a hero really is, one needs to spend a lot of time with the hero. Is it really appropriate for a rough and unsophisticated hero to be a steward, as you’d guess from their appearance?

Cui Nuanjun is suitable to be a steward; Chu You had absolute confidence in this. How could an NPC, who can speak about the main world, be lacking in intelligence?

Loyalty can also be easily determined. At 50 loyalty, heroes are at risk of betrayal. At 70 loyalty, if the hero is of the opposite gender, then they could even get married. Marriages in the "Celestial World" were quite amusing. Chu You chuckled lightly at the thought. If two players get married, then they could enjoy a 10% increase in all attributes from each other. If it’s an opposite-gender Hero, the Hero will enjoy a 20% increase in all attributes from the player, but the player does not receive any additional benefits.

What if a player wants to cheat but doesn’t want to divorce? The player’s personal apartment in the "Celestial World" solves this problem. This feature made players from the previous world sneer and feel the deep malice from the developers! After marriage, your spouse can indeed visit the player’s apartment directly. Many dramatic disagreements in the "Celestial World" begin just like this. I remember in the previous life, a certain big shot player was in the apartment having a great time with his mistress when suddenly, his wife appeared. The scene was utterly awkward.

It cannot go unmentioned that the "Celestial World" acknowledges the legality of homosexuality! Another thing to note is that the teleportation skill to return to the apartment would override the guild return teleportation skill.

"Master, Nuanjun can feel that you are very rich and have many possessions!" At that moment, Cui Nuanjun said with her eyes closed. She must be absorbing the data of Chu You’s properties. However, the hero steward cannot see the wealth of items in the player’s inventory or equipped to them. This had already been proven in the last life, so there’s nothing to worry about.

"Our wealth will only continue to grow, are you ready for that?"

"Finally, I can go out!" The girl Nuanjun’s eyes were sparkling with excitement, and her voice was full of anticipation.

The Grand Marshal didn’t show up. Maybe he was sulking alone? Never mind him then.

"Let’s go then!"

When Cui Nuanjun finally stepped out the door, her excitement was undeniable. She was like a child exploring unfamiliar surroundings with unparalleled curiosity.

"Wow, is that person from the Cultivation World?" a player passing by quickly didn’t notice anything unusual and asked.

"Yes, you will eventually get used to it."

"Master, why are you so rich and still don’t have a home?" Nuanjun asked suddenly.

"Home?" Chu You widened his eyes in surprise, momentarily in a daze. However, he soon realized what Cui Nuanjun was referring to. By "home", she meant a personal player’s apartment. This could be the bungalow provided by the guild; single players could also buy an apartment in the town, though they couldn’t upgrade it. So, that’s what she meant by "home".

"Exactly, after you go to the main world, Nuanjun won’t know where to rest!" She pouted slightly after speaking, which was truly adorable.

"Right, I completely forgot about that!" Chu You’s eyes widened in realization, his index and middle fingers touched his forehead and slid down to his nose tip. He didn’t mention that the guild is my home! Only 3 people could legally appear in the City Above the Clouds, so why would I need an apartment?! At the same time, he admired Nuanjun’s intelligence silently.

"Let’s go, back to the guild!" After saying this, Chu You directly used the Guild Return Teleportation Skill. Warm Monarch saw this and murmured to herself: "Is this the ability that comes from forming a covenant with the Tao child?" After saying this, she also closed her eyes, and then the same radiant aura that surrounded Chu You enveloped her.

Shortly, the two arrived in the City Above the Clouds.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful!" exclaimed Warm Monarch as she looked around appreciatively, exhibiting a keen curiosity about everything around her.

"That big tree is so beautiful, I can feel the mysterious and strong aura emanating from it!" Warm Monarch said, pointing to the Skill Divine Tree.

"You go explore around, I’m going to build a house!" Chu You stated, heading toward the guild’s core building.

Once inside, Chu You selected the core building, and a screen popped up showing the territorial range of their guild. The blue overlay covered an extensive area, although most of it was located in the sky.

Chu You then found a large floating rock; after taking a quick look, he decided that it was perfect.

In the center of the floating rock, Chu You built a bungalow; its exterior was as ordinary as could be. Was that it? For a tycoon like Chu You, certainly not.

Immediately, he upgraded it! From a level-one apartment to a level-ten apartment, then from a level-ten apartment to a level-one villa, and finally from a level-one villa to a level-ten villa.

The process was incredibly quick and completely automated. Now, the level-ten villa occupied the entire rock. Viewed from above, the villa covered a vast amount of land. It included a large open-air swimming pool on the rooftop to the right, as well as a sizable garden.

The villa styled by Chu You was an eclectic mix. Its overall shape resembled a small imperial palace from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, while the garden was from the Ming Dynasty due to its meticulous and elegant decorations. Moreover, he added an astronomy tower. Though it had no practical use, its aesthetics were pleasing. When not busy, he could stand there, admiring the panoramic view of the City Above the Clouds.

The open-air swimming pool looked more like a hot spring, albeit it wasn’t one.

As for the villa’s interior decor and furniture, Chu You knew it would be empty at first. Furniture and other items had to be bought separately. Luckily, there was the guild mall, so this was not a problem. The prices for furniture in the mall ranged from copper coins to gold coins and didn’t require any strategic resources. The items could only be used in the apartments and not in the outside world.

It’s worth mentioning that furniture cabinets could provide players with storage attributes. If players had a lot of equipment and didn’t wish to store it in the town, they could store it in the apartment furniture. The higher the price, the more they could store. The usage rights included: the owner, the wife, and the steward! However, the wife and the steward could only deposit items, not withdraw. They could, however, view the items inside.

Being a tycoon, Chu You, without a doubt, spent a million gold coins, making the interior decor elegant without losing its luxuriousness.

"Hmm, seems like I’m still missing something." The thing Chu You referred to was a potted plant.

Potted plants in the Celestial World are rare items and also graded. Raising potted plants can give endowed items. For example, the sacred level Flat Peach Fruit Tree, although colloquially referred to as a tree, is actually a type of potted plant. Planting it and watering it daily will make it grow, bloom and bear fruit, allowing the player to get ripe Flat Peach Fruit, which, when eaten, will provide attribute bonuses.

Potted plants come in a variety of types and can be obtained from merchants or found in the wilderness. The number of potted plants is linked to the apartment level. The higher the apartment level, the more potted plants one can have.

Villa apartments can be sold, but only to guild members. Non-members are not considered for sale. If a member with an apartment is expelled from the guild, the villa apartment will be taken back, and any equipment stored inside the furniture will also be confiscated. If the guild is destroyed, unfortunately, everything belongs to the opposition.

If a player does not set their personal apartment, it is open to the public, meaning both guild members and friends have visiting rights, but they can only view it and can’t destroy or use anything, especially when the owner is not around.

Chu You thought for a bit and decided to only allow Lin Luor visitation rights, all the other friends were closed off. Regardless of whether Lin Luor had a house or not, her rights would be opened first.

Level-Ten Villa Attributes: All attributes +5, hunting recovery breath limit up to 500% (’Immortal’ guild members only have a 100% limit).

Finally, it was the naming rights. Only villas have this privilege, not apartments.

After a moment of thought, Chu You used his thoughts to input four characters: Sunset Villa!
