Chapter 110: wonder: longze water mansion
Without making a purchase, Yang Fan and Tang Yue headed to the next shop.
Yuan Zong was not displeased by this; the buildings sold in Taichu City were all of extremely high value. Outside, any single one would be the core building of a god.
The higher the value of an item, the slower its liquidity naturally becomes. Moreover, since these buildings were currently sitting in his Divine Kingdom, they could generate a fixed income, so there was no rush to trade them.
Just like before, Yang Fan had Yang Yi record the entire product catalog.
This was a shop for special buildings, and Yang Fan actually spotted a familiar one.
"Special building: fountain of life, price: 40 divinity points."
This fountain of life turned out to be the lowest-priced item, placed directly in the first row.
However, Yang Fan was speechless at this price.
One should know that the mall's suggested price for the fountain of life was only 20 divinity points; the seller here had exactly doubled it.
"Is this the premium for strategic-grade buildings?" Yang Fan lamented in his heart.
Next were the shops for buildings related to enhancing the strength of believers.
"Bloodline Evolution Pool (A-rank) — 100,000 divinity points"
…
Gravity Cultivation Ground (B-rank) — 3,000 divinity points
immortal breeding tower (B-rank) — 1,500 divinity points
Blood Qi Furnace (B-rank) — 3,000 divinity points
Martial Arts Evolution Platform (B-rank) — 8,000 divinity points
…
Seeing that the price of the immortal breeding tower was as high as 1,500 divinity points—a full 600 more than the mall's suggested price—Yang Fan felt a pang of pain in his wallet.
"Senior, I would like to purchase the immortal breeding tower. I wonder if there's any discount on the price?" Yang Fan asked tentatively.
The shop owner slowly raised his eyes, a hint of displeasure in his gaze. However, after sensing Yang Fan's status, he could only suppress his annoyance and say, "Your Highness, everything sold in Taichu City is a strategic resource; there is no such thing as bargaining."
Feeling that dissatisfied gaze, Yang Fan felt quite embarrassed.
If not for his status as a Human Race Prodigy, the other party would likely have lashed out at him directly.
Yang Fan felt the sting, "In that case, I will purchase three immortal breeding towers."
"Please take a seat, Your Highness. I will fetch the goods immediately!" The man hurriedly stood up and moved a chair in front of Yang Fan.
Purchasing three immortal breeding towers at once meant a transaction value of 4,500 divinity points; this was a major order.
The shop owner moved quickly, and within a few minutes, he had stored the buildings into blank cards.
"I am Cao Shaoqiu. If Your Highness has any needs in the future, you are welcome to visit my small shop anytime."
Yang Fan nodded, transferred the divinity points to him, and left the place with Tang Yue.
With this single expenditure, half of Yang Fan's liquid capital was gone.
Only now did Yang Fan realize that in Taichu City, no matter how many divinity points one had, it was never enough.
Take the immortal breeding tower, for example; if he truly had enough funds, even if he bought 100 of them, they wouldn't be enough for the believers in his Divine Kingdom.
Yang Fan thought to himself, "The Taichu School costs money, buying buildings costs money, and nurturing believers also costs money. No matter how much I earn, it can't possibly be enough. My Divine Kingdom still needs to purchase more resource-type buildings."
Yang Fan wasn't worried about how to earn more divinity points; with his ten-fold Evolution Talent, his rate of return was naturally multiplied by ten.
However, there was no need to buy buildings for investment in his Divine Kingdom in Taichu City; everything here was a strategic building, and the premiums were too severe.
If he wanted high-yield buildings, he could perfectly well buy them from the mall.
The reason Yang Fan only bought three immortal breeding towers was to leave enough capital to continue investing in his Divine Kingdom.
They arrived at the last shop, which sold wonder buildings.
wonder: longze water mansion — 200 divinity points
wonder: Immortal Qi Source — 10,000 divinity points
…
wonder: Spirit Peach Mountain — 500 divinity points
wonder: Divine Wood Forest — 50,000 divinity points
…
wonder: Penglai Island — 11,000 divinity points
wonder: Myriad Spirit Waters — 200,000 divinity points
wonder: Dragon Vein Land — 1,000,000 divinity points
wonder: Flat Peach Orchard — 300,000 divinity points
wonder: Mineral Crystal Grotto — 100,000 divinity points
…
As expected of Taichu City; Yang Fan deliberately searched and found that the wonder buildings in his Divine Kingdom, Spirit Peach Mountain and Penglai Island, were both for sale here.
"Perhaps I can use the remaining funds to buy all Spirit Peach Mountains," Yang Fan pondered secretly.
Currently, aside from the Spiritual Vein, the largest source of income in his Divine Kingdom was the monkey wine. Yang Fan felt he could fully increase his investment to expand his wine business.
"Master, Spirit Peach Mountain requires Immortal Qi. One Penglai Island can at most support five Spirit Peach Mountains," Yang Yi's reminder echoed in his mind.
Yang Fan glanced at the price of Penglai Island and couldn't help but curse inwardly at how black-hearted the shopkeeper was.
According to the mall's pricing, the value of Penglai Island was around 5,000 divinity points. Here, it had more than doubled.
Although things are precious when they are rare, and what was sold here was the true market price, Yang Fan still felt the sting.
With his current funds, it was impossible to buy Penglai Island. The plan to brew monkey wine on a large scale had to be temporarily shelved.
"Shopkeeper, I want to buy four Spirit Peach Mountains," Yang Fan said.
The elderly man, who had been dozing, opened his eyes. Upon seeing Yang Fan, his expression became a bit more serious.
The man stood up, "So it is a Prince. I am An Hai, greetings."
The status of a Human Race Prodigy was truly useful. The owners of these shops were all Third-Order Gods, yet they were all very polite to Yang Fan.
"Manager An Hai, I wonder if the stock of Spirit Peach Mountains is sufficient?" Yang Fan followed up.
"Naturally. Spirit Peach Mountain is not a high-value wonder building. They are frequently found in the Divine Kingdoms of ape-like foreign gods. Let alone four, even if Your Highness wanted four hundred, I could transfer the stock from the company for you," An Hai waved his hand dismissively.
Yang Fan was equally shocked to hear this. He hadn't expected that the wonder building he once thought was of immense value and feared would be stolen was treated so casually in Taichu City.
An Hai asked, "May I ask Your Highness's honorable surname?"
"Yang Fan."
"Prince Yang Fan, the level of the spiritual fruits grown on Spirit Peach Mountain is not high. Why are you purchasing four at once?"
"I plan to invest in the Monkey Wine Spring," Yang Fan did not hide it.
In Taichu City, Yang Fan felt that the meager resources in his Divine Kingdom were not worth anyone's covetousness at all, so he could just speak freely.
"The yield of monkey wine is indeed decent, but Spirit Peach Mountain needs a supply of Immortal Qi. My shop also has wonder buildings like the Immortal Treasure House, Penglai Island, and Immortal Lake. I wonder if Your Highness needs them? I guarantee the prices are fair," An Hai continued to promote.
Yang Fan felt a bit embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't need them, but that he had no money.
Just then, Tang Yue stepped forward, her tone somewhat displeased, "Manager An, you talk too much."
"So it is Fellow Daoist Tang Yue. Tending the shop here every day is too boring. Seeing that Prince Yang Fan has such an easygoing personality, I couldn't help but chat a bit more. I apologize to His Highness here," An Hai hurriedly apologized.
After Yang Fan paid 2,000 divinity points, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the first line of the wonder building catalog: longze water mansion — 200 divinity points.
"Manager An, what are the effects of this longze water mansion?" Yang Fan couldn't help but ask an extra question, mainly because this wonder was the cheapest in the shop.
"This longze water mansion comes from the Sea Snake Race. There are often large numbers of such wonder buildings in the Divine Kingdoms of that race. Besides improving the aquatic environment, its greatest function is to farm Dragon Fish.
Dragon Fish contain a massive amount of life essence and are an essential resource for Divine Kingdoms following the Martial Arts path. The price is stable.
The Divine Kingdom can harvest once every hundred years, with a yield rate as high as 30% each time. The annualized yield exceeds 100%, which is much higher than that of the Monkey Wine Spring."
"Prince Yang Fan, the stock of longze water mansion is quite large. If you purchase in bulk, I can even give you a discount!" An Hai's face was covered in smiles.
