Chapter 199: Auction House Head

n area of about several hundred square meters.Inside the hall, there is a tall fish-man water walker dressed in a blue robe.This Water Walker is surrounded by wisps of blue light, forming a shield of...Rosita nodded. “Different residences do offer different advantages to players, sir. As a low-ranking nobleman, the highest level of housing you can rent is a villa. When resting in a villa, the bonus effect from ‘Rest Well’ increases your experience gain by 80%. Every 12 hours of rest accumulates 1 hour of ‘Rest Well’ time, up to a maximum of 2 hours. Additionally, the villa's safe has three thousand grid spaces.”

Lu Kong nodded slightly.

It's definitely different.

His current rental's rest well benefit is a 50% increase, which is a substantial 30% boost, quite impressive.

The safe space has also increased significantly. The ordinary room's safe only has one thousand grids.

Not to mention anything else, just because of the experience boost and vault, Luke and Air have to rent a villa.

He thought for a moment, then said, "What's the price of the villa"

Seeing Lu Kong's interest, Luo Sita materialized a panel in front of her, her smile sweet as she said: "These are the currently available villas. Please take a look."

Lu Kong looked around. These villas weren't very big, mostly two-story houses, with only a few being three stories high. The independent courtyard areas were also small, and some didn't even have courtyards.

And the prices vary as well. The lowest rental costs two hundred gold coins per year, which is equivalent to two million Dàxiá currency.

...and so expensive, it even reached three thousand gold coins!

This villa rental is just to enjoy the perks it offers, of course, I wouldn't choose a too big one.

As long as it's suitable.

While going through this process, Rostova, as a senior advisor, gave Lu Kong quite a few suggestions.

For example, talking about the area where these villas are located, what kind of neighbors live nearby, and who the homeowners are.

If you were to live there, what are some things to be aware of

Finally, Lu Kong chose a two-story villa with a small courtyard for about 1800 yuan in rent.

This villa is located in a commercial district. Although it is a bit far from the Hall of Administration and the Guard Hall, it is still a bustling area.

Next to this villa is an auction house, and the Green Shore refinery store is not far away.

For Lu Kong, the auction house and refining shop would also be places he frequently visited next.

Another reason is that the owner of this villa is a big boss at an auction house.

In the future, if you want to auction off items via air or land, or if you plan to attend an auction to purchase some items, just contact him directly. Perhaps this can save you some trouble.

He pointed to the facade of the villa and smiled, "This one."

Rosa, upon seeing this, smiled: "Sir, you have a sharp eye. This villa is located in the commercial district and is very close to several shops that players frequent. It will be much more convenient for you."

In fact, the suggestion that Rosita just gave also includes this house.

Lu Kong had grown accustomed to the compliments for Ross Ta.

He smiled and said, "Let's sign the contract."

Losser said respectfully, "Renting a villa is different from renting an ordinary house. We need to contact the owner of the villa, the keys are in his hands. If he is unwilling to rent it to you, we can't force him."

Lu Kong raised an eyebrow, he didn't expect there was such a rule

Before, renting a normal house only required finding a good one. I didn't expect that renting a villa would also require considering the landlord's intentions.

Wouldn't that guy be unwilling to rent it to him at that time

It seems to have guessed Lu Kong's thoughts, Lorista spoke: "But, My Lord, you are the first player to advance in rank, the young king, and also the first to become a low-ranking nobleman. I presume that no nobleman wouldn't want to be your friend, their doors will all be open for you."

Lu Kong nodded slightly. “I hope so.”

Losta stood up and bowed respectfully. "I will contact Lord Sutai immediately. Please wait a moment. If Lord Sutai is available, we can go to the house right now."

No problem.

Roseta left the VIP room, and soon she came back.

A smile graced her face as she spoke, "Master, Lord Sutai heard that you were renting this house and pushed back some work to wait for you at the house already."

The land and air were somewhat surprised.

The big boss of that auction house called Sutai actually values him so much

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

After all, as a player, Lu Kong considered himself quite skilled. Even without choosing the fallen talent, most players with strong talents could obtain some decent equipment and items by slaying high-level monsters.

Aren't auction houses dependent on these things for survival

Land and air transport could also be considered potential customers of an auction house.

He stood up and said, "Let's go."

Leaving the Civil Affairs Hall, Lorita surprisingly drove up a levitating flying car: "Sir, please get in."

Lukong looked at the hovering car in some surprise. He didn't expect that Rosstha would even have such a treasure

Losta seemed to notice Lu Kong's surprise and explained: "This isn't my personal flying car. As a senior consultant, I often need to take important people house hunting. This flying car was provided to me by the Civil Affairs Department as my mount."

It wasn't until then that Lu Kong finally understood.

He hopped onto the hovercar, and Lorita expertly started it up. The hovercar shot into the air, leaving a streak of light as it sped towards the commercial district.

The wind rustled through the trees as he gazed out the window at the buildings whizzing by, his mind wandering.

He'll need to check out mounts later, or maybe consider flying vehicles too

However, this should count as a flying mount, right

Now he seems unable to buy flying mounts Those require a high-ranking nobility to purchase

Lu Kong thought about this, a little puzzled as he asked: "I remember that flying mounts are only available to high-ranking nobles, right Where did the Civil Affairs Department get their flying cars"

Rose chuckled. “The Civil Affairs Hall, as the official body of Great Martial City, isn't restricted in this way. Besides, the Hall Master himself is a high-ranking noble.”

Lu Kong nodded then asked, "Is there any way to allow lower-ranking nobles to use flying mounts as well"

Loretta was taken aback, pondered for a moment, then spoke: "This...as far as I understand, it seems like you can only tame flying mounts in the wild yourself. If you're a player, you can also obtain them through monster drops...Aha!"

At this moment, Rossita suddenly thought of something and said, "I heard that the auction will have some rare items up for sale. It seems like a flying mount was auctioned off before, which sold for a sky-high price."

Will the auction house be holding an auction

Lu Kong made a note of this message. Maybe he should pay more attention to the monthly auction.

The flying car was much faster than the demonized wolf. In just a few minutes, it flew to the commercial district.

Lu Kong saw the villa he wanted to rent from afar in the sky.

Outside the villa, a black car was parked, and the gate was open.

"It seems Lord Xiutai has arrived," Lossa chuckled, seeing it herself.

Lu Kong nodded.

The flying car stopped outside the gate, and Lu Kong and Rosita walked into the villa.

In the hall, a handsome middle-aged man with pale gray skin, three whiskers like tentacles on his chin, tall and wearing elegant, light gold attire, was pouring wine at the bar.

Seeing Lu Kong and Ross enter, he smiled and walked over with two glasses of wine.

“Oh, dear Lord Lu Kong, I've been hearing your system announcements all this time and have long wanted to meet a talented player like you. Unexpectedly, fate is so wonderful, you actually valued my house! Haha, we must be destined to meet!”

He handed the cup to Lu Kong.

Lu Kong glanced at the blue liquid in his cup and took it.

Let me introduce myself, I'm the chief executive of Dawu City Auction House, Su Tai. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lu Kong."

"It's also nice to meet you, Mr. Xutai."

Two people clinked their glasses, Lu Kong took a light sip and found the taste was actually quite good.

It should be fruit juice, not much taste of alcohol.

"Let's sit down and talk." Sutai led Lu Kong to the living room sofa and had them sit down.

"The rent for this villa was already registered at the Civil Affairs Office." Sutai placed his wine glass on the tea table and smiled, "However, I didn't know that it was Mr. Lu Kong who rented the house at the time. Since you are renting the house, then the rent will only be one thousand gold coins."

Lu Kong was stunned. He was originally supposed to pay 1,800 gold coins, but now it was only 1,000

For the average player, they wouldn't be able to make that much money in a year, right

He's truly generous, befitting the head honcho of an auction house.

However, this also made Lu Kong a little puzzled.

This old geezer is way too enthusiastic about him, isn't he

He looked at Sutai, smiling and asking: “So, Mr. Sutai, what are your requirements”ndary guild creation, and Lu Kong previously thought of opening it at level 20.Because the monster tide was too intense, I forgot when I leveled up to 20.The other two were rewards from when I previou...
