Chapter 393
There was no big discrepancy between how things went and Sui Xiong’s estimation .
The rulers of the main planes were very dissatisfied with this document issued by the Void Mask, but they were only “dissatisfied” .
In fact, no one condemned that .
Not even one, including the Church of the God of Aristocracy .
It was probably the credit of Javier, Sui Xiong thought .
The guy, Javier, had been likely to tell others the words he had said at that time with some additional trimmings . Then the hearers exaggerated them a bit more, and spread out .
At that time, Sui Xiong had already said the words with murderous expressions . After being exaggerated for several times, the words, as assumed, might had been processed like this . “Somewhere there was a person named Dragon . – Somewhere there was a dragon . – Somewhere there was an evil dragon, very dangerous . – Somewhere there was an evil dragon, burning, killing and pillaging, committing all kinds of evil crimes . – Somewhere there was an evil dragon that had just kidnapped a princess recently, and had killed the knights who had tried to fight against it . ”
Anyway, Sui Xiong believed that the kings and the big aristocrats would not have such guts to stand out and spoke up when facing such danger .
As for the God of Aristocracy, Sui Xiong felt a little confused . This God was supposed to issue a declaration, criticizing his own practice as a reverse action, a reversal of the history and a self-denial to the people… Blah, blah, blah . For this, Sui Xiong had been ready to debate with him . In this period of time, he had tried to list all kinds of debate methods and sociological materials read on the Internet in his previous life, regardless of whether they were useful or not . Then he had examined and studied them carefully to prepare for this battle .
In the end, everything he had done became idle work . The God performed nothing .
It made Sui Xiong feel like punching with his full strength but hit nothing . It was really uncomfortable .
However, in any case, the less trouble, the better . It was absolutely a good thing that the God of Aristocracy didn’t bother him .
Compared with the calmness in the top class, Sui Xiong’s documents created an uproar in the grassroots class . Many adventurers who had been persecuted by the aristocracy set out for the Four Towns in the Northwest . Most of them were wealthy enough to live a peaceful life in any place . However, because of their bitter experience in the past, they had an innate feeling of insecurity about living under the aristocratic rule . They naturally thought of moving at this moment when they heard that a country which was not ruled by aristocrats had been built .

Most of them just came and had a check of the situations first . A few of them, who were bachelors, simply sold their belongings and moved there directly with a bag of luggage . Anyway, once they were fed, no one in their families would be hungry .
This situation was not beyond the expectations of the Church of the Void Mask, so those apartment buildings that had been empty for a long time were finally put into use .
When the Kingdom of Eagle had been in those hard days, Sui Xiong and Leon had thought that they might need to relocate the refugees, which had been on a large scale . Therefore, Sui Xiong had taken the time to build a lot of apartment buildings in the outer side of the Void Mask Land, which had been prepared for the refugees to live . However, how the things had gone was beyond everyone’s estimation . After a fierce battle, the Kingdom of Eagle had lived through it successfully . The estimated refugee flood hadn’t happened, so the apartment buildings had been empty there . Although some people had moved in gradually over the past few years, the occupancy rate was still very low on the whole . If the real estate was on the earth and the occupancy rate after the construction was as low as this, most investors would climb to the roof and jumped down…
Fortunately, relying on magic and sufficient personnel, Sui Xiong didn’t need to take loans from the bank for the construction of these buildings, or worry about the maintenance costs . Therefore, although these buildings had been empty for so many years, he was not under pressure at all .
In fact, these buildings had never been totally empty . Over the years, the Land had put a lot of furniture into them . The apartments refined a lot, gradually from the original “roughcast ones” which could only be used to shelter, into “almost fully furnished ones” which people could move in directly with luggage .
As for the person who created these styles and the decoration designs which were completely different from the designs of this world, the chief designer waved his tentacles, declaring that he knew nothing about that, and his fingers just got itchy occasionally…
“This house is really strange… But after a closer look, it seems to be very suitable for living as well… What is the price?”

“(A certain number)” .
“That’s not expensive! I thought that the house here would be very expensive! ”
“We are implementing a household registration system here . Only when you register and live permanently can you buy a house . ”
“No wonders! In other words, if I buy a batch of houses, I can’t keep them for a few years, and sell them again, right?”
“Yes, one can only buy a house for his own residence . ”
“It may not be a bad idea . Well, what else should I pay attention to?”
“If you don’t have enough savings, and you don’t find a suitable job for the time being, you can rent it first and buy it later . The house you have rented to live in will not be sold . When you buy the house in the future, the rents of the past years can be counted as part of the payment . ”
“So good? ! I feel a little unreal… Who will do business like this?”
“This is the oracle of His Majesty the Void Mask . For His Majesty, he doesn’t care about money and wealth . ”
“What does he care about on earth? Sis, I’m taking care of your business anyway . Give me some news more or less . ”
“Sorry, the thoughts of His Majesty… It’s also difficult for us to guess…”
“No way! Is it safe for me to live here?”
“Safety is not lip service . Since the establishment of the Void Mask Land, many major events have been held . We were also attacked by the real God, but it never caused civilian casualties . ”
“You’ve convinced me! Okay! I’ll live here first . ”
“Please fill out this household registration application form, the most important of which is about your speciality and the requirements for the future job . ”
“Your work is so efficient!”
“Now that we can finish it in one time, it doesn’t have to be finished after several times . ”
“I’ve filled it out, and then?”
“Nothing else, you can live here now . The ID card will be sent here soon afterwards by our staff . For the various public facilities, please refer to the map on the table and the signs of the residential area . Wish you a happy life here . Goodbye . ”
“It’s kind of confusing . I just came to ask for the price, but how did I begin to live here all of sudden…”
Such similar cases happened over and over again during this time .
These female shopping guides were carefully selected by Sui Xiong . They were all insanely charming . Additionally, Sui Xiong brazenly gave them one by one a spell that enhanced their charm and negotiation ability . Thus, most people would be influenced unconsciously when talking with them, and finally followed their suggestions .
Although those retired adventurers were less influenced because of their extraordinary strength, they had retired after all . Their willpower had dropped a lot compared with how it had been when they fought years ago, licking the blood on the tips of their swords . What’s more, the conditions given by the Void Mask Land were indeed generous, so they had already been willing to buy a house and settle down . Therefore, under the suggestions or the influences of the female shopping guides, they also fall into the “traps”, becoming the new residents of the Void Mask Land pretty soon .
Sui Xiong hid in the sky, paying attention to the sale of residential areas silently . He secretly felt funny about it .
On the earth, if those ladies in the sales office have such skills, China will not be worried about the real estate bubble! When the time comes, countless people will definitely hold a lot of money, shouting “Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy or die!” with red face and gasping breath . No matter what kind of houses they are, they will be sold out immediately after the launch .
No, in that case, the f*king real estate bubble crisis will be more severe .
Thinking of that, he couldn’t help but laugh happily .

This is a "versus life" story with no great evil to face just life in a hard place during a hard time. Our hero and his companions get catapulted back in time and must find a way to not only survive but prosper. This story is definitely "R" rated maybe even NC-17 but don't expect explosions, blood and orgasms at every page turn. Bad words and uncomfortable topics are addressed in this story, this is not for every reader. This is a technical story and develops slowly at first, full technical details, maps and research are available over on Patreon. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I am. -Emmeran
