Chapter 1128: Choosing the Best Plot for the Estate
Chapter 1128: Choosing the Best Plot for the Estate
Qianbei Bu Zui was busy bribing Old Chen with the Morning Dew Liquor, and Su Yu was doing something similar.
Oran City Hall
Su Yu waved the black Magic Crystal Card in his hand, smiling at the City Hall Administrator, Viscount Anthony Rees.
"Viscount, this is 200,000 Psychic Coins. I want to choose a specific location for my estate."
When players choose to claim an estate, to ensure fairness, the plot of land is randomly assigned by the system.
If you're lucky, you might get a fertile piece of land.
If you're unlucky, your estate might end up on an isolated island, in a desert, a swamp, or even on a volcano! Lords who are assigned such plots might not even be able to cry.
But Su Yu knew there was a hidden rule: you could bribe the City Hall Administrator.
If the bribe is successful, the Administrator will give you a map, allowing you to choose a specific plot of land for your estate, avoiding the fate of being assigned to the sea or a volcano.
Seeing the number "200,000" on the Magic Crystal Card, Viscount Rees swallowed hard.
He was tempted!
"Cough, cough!"
Viscount Rees stood up, speaking with a righteous tone, "We are all working for the Empire. For a brighter future, of course, I won't refuse such a reasonable request."
Viscount Rees casually took out a golden Magic Crystal Card from his pocket and swiped it over Su Yu's card, deducting the 200,000 Psychic Coins.
He then turned and gave some instructions. A waiter went to the storage room and returned with a large map taller than a person.
Sky Dragon and Winged Dragon Join the Visit
Sky Dragon and Winged Dragon had accompanied Su Yu to the City Hall.
Seeing Su Yu casually take out 200,000 Psychic Coins, both of them were stunned.
Winged Dragon sized up Su Yu, surprised, "Boss Ke, I didn't realize you were so wealthy!"
In the previous battle, Boss Ke had spent 150,000 Psychic Coins on three ships, and now he was spending another 200,000 without a second thought. Just how wealthy was Boss Ke?
Sky Dragon looked at Su Yu with newfound respect, "Guild Leader, it's quite difficult to gather Psychic Coins these days. Every time a large amount of Psychic Coins appears on the market, it's quickly snatched up."
"Uncle Zhenhong and his guild members monitor the Psychic Coin market 24/7, and they can only gather a few thousand Psychic Coins a day. How did you manage to get so many?"
Su Yu didn't answer. He simply placed a finger to his lips and gave a mysterious smile.
Seeing Su Yu's gesture, his image became even more enigmatic in their eyes.
Could it be that this man has significant power in the real world?
Choosing the Plot
The waiter brought the map over, and Su Yu took it, spreading it out on the table.
[Oran City Map (Special Item)]: A comprehensive map of Oran City, detailing the terrain, locations of towns, roadways, mountains, rivers, monster distribution areas, and resource points such as iron mines, stone quarries, and forests. The map updates in real-time.
Viscount Rees leaned over to Su Yu, enthusiastically saying, "Brother Ke, this is a map of the entire city. You can choose a suitable plot for your estate. Of course, it must be within the Royal Estate area."
Viscount Rees pointed to the light golden area on the map.
All the land in Oran City had already been divided among various NPC factions. Two-thirds of the area was controlled by various local lords (marked in light red on the map), and the remaining one-third was exclusive to the Royal Family (marked in light gold).
Su Yu had used his World Reputation to trade with the Royal Family for his estate, so he could only choose a location within the Royal Estate area.
"Thanks for the reminder!"
Su Yu thanked Viscount Les, then turned his attention to the map.
Sky Dragon and Winged Divine Dragon also curiously gathered around Su Yu, offering their suggestions.
After staring at the map for a while, the little Sky Dragon girl pointed to a mountainous area on the map and said, "I think this place is great!"
"Look at this spot. It has a river, stone quarries, forests, and even deer and wild boars. We wouldn't have to worry about food, water, or building materials here!"
Su Yu glanced at the area the little girl was pointing to and shook his head. "This river is too small. If we want to develop the territory into a city, we need a major river to support a large population. Also, I plan to develop long-distance trade in the future, so the territory should be close to the coast. This area is too far inland."
"Let me think about it." Winged Divine Dragon brushed her hair and focused on the map.
"According to the requirements, the territory must be near a major river, preferably close to the sea, and have ample resources like wood and stone, right?"
"Right."
"In that case, how about this? Little Sky and I will help you filter through the options, and you can make the final decision, alright?"
"Alright."
...
The three of them began to carefully search along the rivers on the map, placing stones on the spots that met the criteria.
After filtering out all the suitable locations, they discussed and determined the best one.
It felt a bit like choosing a starting location in a Civilization game.
After some discussion, they finally selected the best spot.
The chosen location was on the northern bank of the Moonlight River, downstream.
The Moonlight River is a major river that runs through the city of Auran, with ample water flow.
From this spot, it's a 40-kilometer journey west to Auran City, a 20-kilometer journey south to the coastal town of Moonfall, and just over ten kilometers east to the sea.
Moreover, the soil here is fertile, and the nearby forests and stone quarries are abundant, making it arguably the best location a player could choose on the entire map!
"Viscount Les, I choose this spot!" Su Yu pointed to the location on the map and confirmed.
"Alright, no problem." Viscount Les nodded and took out a small notebook to record the details: "Coordinates (736, 278). I'll report this, and you can come to the town hall to collect the deed in a month."
"No problem, but I have one more request."
"What is it?" Les put down his pen and paper and looked at Su Yu.
"Do you sell this map? If so, I'm willing to pay a high price for it!"
Su Yu was very interested in the giant map in front of him. It was marked with detailed locations of wild monsters, stone quarries, iron mines, and other resources, and it updated in real-time.
If he could buy this map, it would save a lot of effort in developing his territory!
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Viscount Les hesitated. "This is a public item, after all."
"100,000 Psychic Coins!"
"Deal."
Half an hour later, on the Moonlight River, a small cargo ship was sailing through the waves.
Although Su Yu's territory was only connected to the outside world by a dirt road, the Moonlight River connected it to Auran City, allowing him to easily travel by boat.
The Moonlight River is nearly a kilometer wide, and there is almost no elevation difference between Auran City and the territory. In the future, any resources the territory lacks can be purchased from Auran City and transported via the river.
He believed it wouldn't be long before his city was built!
From this city, he would build structures like the Mage Tower to enhance human power and drive the Skrullians off Blue Star!
