Chapter 147 A City of One's Own
"Humph, come back in half a month to get your things."
Huo Tuo said this and walked into the forging room. This time he was not going to forge the armor and magic tools from scratch, so it would not take as long as last time. Half a month was considered long.
In fact, it was just a matter of integrating other materials. It was easy for Huo Tuo. If he really wanted to do it, it would be done in three days. However, he didn't want to do it so quickly because he felt uncomfortable looking at Qin Chen!
Qin Chen then helped Huo Yun design the appearance of the magic armor. Half a day later, he designed an appearance of the magic armor that Huo Yun was very satisfied with, then he left the Pearl Magic Tower and returned to his apartment.
Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu were not at home recently, so he was bored and had to start practicing. Now his fire system, plant system, summoning system, space system, and sound system are all high-level one, and his chaos system is intermediate level two, and he is almost at the intermediate level three. However, the chaos system is difficult to practice, even more difficult than the space system, so Qin Chen needs to spend more time on the chaos system.
“Ding Ding Ding!!!!!”
However, just when Qin Chen was about to practice, his cell phone rang, and the note was still "Dad"!
"Hey, Dad, how come you have time to think of me?"
Qin Chen answered the phone and asked in surprise. Since he went to high school and left home to live outside, he rarely contacted his parents. It was not that he did not want to contact his parents or go home, but every time he went home, his father would complain to him, saying that he disturbed their world of two people.
So in order to avoid being fed dog food, Qin Chen usually only goes home during the Chinese New Year and other holidays. He rarely goes home at other times and rarely calls his parents. His mother Li Yue calls him often, but his father Qin Shuang has never called him once. This is the first time.
"Ahem, didn't you want to buy all the Yaan areas to the south and west of Feiniao City? And you also wanted to buy some land in Feiniao City for me to help you manage it? I can see that you value Feiniao City very much and want to make it your future base, so I am more concerned about the situation in Feiniao City."
"Recently, the sirens have been causing a lot of trouble in Feiniao City. Many people have withdrawn their investments from Feiniao City. Many plots of land have been sold at very low prices. If you want, you can take this opportunity to buy them all." Qin Shuang said.
"Really? Dad, I will transfer 1 billion to you immediately, and you will help me buy all the land in Asian City."
Qin Chen heard this and said excitedly that Feiniao City would be a city with great potential in the future, but now Feiniao City is just a small city. Frequent harassment by sea monsters has made Feiniao City difficult to develop, and many people have moved out of Feiniao City.
Asuka City is a national city, but the country cannot manage so many cities, so in each big city, the country only occupies 20% of the land and holds the position of mayor. The rest is left to the magic families and other people to manage, and the country is only responsible for collecting taxes.
Therefore, what Qin Chen said about buying Feiniao City is still possible. Many big families have their own bases, and the words of the families in the city are more effective than those of the country.
Qin Chen thought that while Feiniao City has not yet developed, he would buy it and develop it as his base in the future. Unlike Mu Ningxue in the original novel, who only developed the Ya'an area that he bought in Feiniao City and was only one of the leaders in the entire Feiniao City. At the beginning, even the mineral veins discovered in his territory had to share part of the profits with others.
What Qin Chen wanted was a city that belonged to him alone! "Okay, transfer the money to me, and I'll buy it for you and take care of it for you. When you come back from the National Government Competition, I'll let you do it yourself."
Qin Shuang said that he also knew that his son had a lot of money now. As a father, Qin Shuang certainly knew about Qin Chen selling the corpses of demons. If Qin Chen didn't say it himself, Qin Shuang wouldn't ask about it.
It's like Qin Chen never asked his parents what they do, what their identities are, or how strong their cultivation is. These are the tacit understandings in their family. If you have any problems, tell them and your family will do their best to help you. If you don't say anything, it means there is no problem and your family believes in you 100%.
Qin Shuang is now the mayor of Lanyang City. He used to be a hunter in the Hunter Alliance and also had business experience. He is very good at buying land and running businesses. As long as the money is in place, everything else will be easy.
After Qin Chen and Qin Shuang chatted about some things in Feiniao City, they hung up the phone.
There is no need to rush about the affairs of Feiniao City. The real take-off of Feiniao City will have to wait until he returns from the National Government Competition. After all, he is still too weak now. If he is not strong, everything is false. Only when he is strong can it be real. No matter how powerful the force is, if he is not good enough, he can only be a wedding dress for others.
"I originally had 6.9 billion, but now I only have 5.9 billion left. It seems that I have to make more money. Otherwise, I may not have enough money to spend in the future. If it really doesn't work, I will sell those commander-level corpses and some slave-level spirits."
Qin Chen sighed as he looked at his shrinking money. Back then, he was worth more than 10 billion yuan, but in less than two years, it had shrunk so much. If he raised two more summoned beasts in the future, the money he had might not last for two years.
In addition to the corpses of the sub-commander-level golden crab that he had killed, the dozen commander-level bull monsters killed by the Hurricane Demon Peng, and the corpse of the water dragon, he had sold all the other monster corpses.
He still had a lot of spirit essence that could be sold, but spirit essence was so scarce that he himself was reluctant to sell it, not even the slave-level spirit essence.
"Wife, how come our son is so outstanding and even richer than me, his father?"
After Qin Shuang hung up the phone, he looked at his wife Li Yue beside him and complained.
"He's my son, of course he's excellent. You know my son's talent. It's only a matter of time before he surpasses us, and maybe even his father." Li Yue said with pride.
"Yes, our son is indeed very good, but a truly powerful mage needs to walk his own path step by step to reach the pinnacle. Otherwise, with our identity, status, cultivation and resources, we can definitely let him reach the super level.
It's a pity that the road to forbidden spells requires one to rely on one's own perception, experience, tempering, attempts and challenges. If everything goes smoothly in the early stages without experiencing certain hardships, difficulties, failures and pains, when the time comes to take that step at the end, one will find that this step is as difficult as ascending to heaven. This is no longer a matter of resources, but a person's own experience and perception in the process from awakening magic to the peak of the super level.
It is almost impossible for a super-class perfect mage who relies on his background to really take the last step. "
Qin Shuang sighed and said that he and Li Yue had already decided at the beginning that the future path was left to Qin Chen to choose. If Qin Chen chose to be an ordinary city magician, then they would let Qin Chen marry and have children in the city and live the life of a rich second-generation rich man in peace and stability.
If Qin Chen chooses to become a true magician, they will silently protect him behind his back, give him the best help without affecting his growth, and defend him against the threat from darkness when he is weak, until he becomes a truly strong man.
Qin Chen's performance clearly showed that he had chosen to become a truly powerful mage, so Qin Shuang was very indulgent and caring towards Qin Chen.
This is also why they rarely provide Qin Chen with support in terms of resources. If they give Qin Chen too much support, Qin Chen's cultivation process will be too easy.
As a result, they lack the various hardships experienced in the process of improving their strength, fail to develop a firm will, and do not have the determination and courage to move forward. Only when they fail to take that step in the end do they truly regret it.
They have all been through it and know very well how difficult the last step is, so they decided to give their son an incomplete free-range upbringing.
"I just remembered that my son is going to participate in the World University Competition. I have to prepare a ticket for him, otherwise it would be unworthy of me. You should quickly contact your friends and get a ticket. I can let my son fight for the remaining two by himself." Li Yue said.
"Ahem, wife, my friends"
Qin Shuang said awkwardly. He really wanted to explain that his friend was a righteous person with correct values.
"You don't need to explain, I know everything."
Li Yue gave Qin Shuang a look that seemed to say, I've seen all of your friends, and she knows best what kind of people they are.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Having said that, Li Yue took out her cell phone, made a call, and walked back to the room.
"Hey, Xiao, what are you doing? Why are you making so much noise?"
After Li Yue got through the phone, she heard bursts of roaring sounds and said.
On the other end of the phone, a tall woman with her hot body hidden in her military uniform was facing a huge white tiger. The white tiger was more than 500 meters tall and its ferocious temperament was no less than that of the totem black snake that Qin Chen had seen.
However, the white tiger was covered with wounds. The woman in military uniform in front of the white tiger held a phone in one hand and gently waved her other hand. A chaotic barrier enveloped the white tiger. No matter how the white tiger attacked, this thin chaotic barrier was unbreakable.
"Okay, now let's stop arguing. Yue, what do you want from me?"
The woman in military uniform said calmly without even looking at the white tiger.
"Xiao, I want to ask you for help with something."
Li Yue's tone suddenly became coquettish, like a little girl acting coquettishly.
"Stop, stop, stop, can you please speak properly? Last time you took away the Rock Emperor cub that I had worked so hard to get, and now you want something else. Let me make it clear first, the things I have here are all from the military, not mine personally, and you can't steal things from me again."
The originally stern expression of the woman in military uniform did not change at all even when she was facing a monster like the totem black snake. But after hearing Li Yue's voice, her expression suddenly became extremely interesting, for fear that Li Yue would say something vicious.
"Hey, Xiao, we are good sisters after all, why would I take your things? I just think that big rock is too ugly and it is an eyesore in your house, so I helped you clean it up."
Li Yue's tone became more and more coquettish, and the woman in military uniform got goose bumps all over her body.
"Stop, tell me what you want, just don't go too far."
The woman in military uniform couldn't stand Li Yue anymore, and said helplessly, holding her forehead.
"I knew Xiao was the best. This time it's not a big deal. It's easy for you. You should have a ticket to the National Government. It's useless to keep it in your hand anyway. Why not give it to my son Qin Chen? He is studying at Mingzhu University and wants to participate in the World University Competition. Let me tell you, my son Qin Chen is a genius. He is not worse than you back then."
When Li Yue talked about her son Qin Chen, she talked nonstop for more than ten minutes.
"Okay, I get it. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Qin Chen is actually in college now. I remember that the last time I saw him, he wasn't even in high school yet."
Finally, the woman in military uniform couldn't stand Li Yue's nagging anymore and interrupted her.
