131 Changes in Reality
Chu Bai appeared in reality.
His strength, speed, physique, and other aspects had become stronger in the game and in reality.
It was the same for everyone.
It was just that the changes would not be too drastic.
However, at this moment…
Chu Bai felt that he had become much stronger in real life after going offline this time.
He stood up and walked to the table, then gripped a corner of the table with a little force.
The corner of the table was crushed into powder by Chu Bai.
“Damn, how did I become so much stronger?”
Before this, his strength had doubled at most, but it was not to the extent where he could directly crush the corner of the table.
Did he get a particularly big improvement this time?
“I’ll take a shower.”
Chu Bai then walked to the bathroom.
It was already winter, and the weather was very cold.
After letting the water run for a while, Chu Bai walked in and let hot water run over his body.
However…
When the steaming hot water touched Chu Bai’s body, it turned into ice.
“What?”
Chu Bai was stunned.
“What’s the situation?”
He touched his own body.
It was a normal temperature.
Why did the water turn into ice when it touched him?
“Could it be because…”
He thought of Bing Xian’er.
He had done it with her. Was this the aftereffect?
At that time, he did not hear the system prompt or anything. After all, he was not in the mood to listen.
Chu Bai then secretly activated the power in his body.
This was a cultivation method that Chu Bai had been cultivating since he was young. He learned it from a secret manual that he had kept by his side since he was young.
However, he did not know how to cultivate. Other than making him a little more powerful, he did not understand much more from the manual.
However, he knew that the power flowing in his body was called spiritual power.
“I don’t understand, I don’t understand!”
Chu Bai was a newbie in this aspect.
However, it seemed like he had returned to normal and could take a normal bath.
The sky was already dark.
Late at night, Jiang Qianyue and the others also went offline.
“Oh… I’m exhausted! I can sleep until tomorrow afternoon.”
Lu Yufan walked out, stretching.
“I’m so hungry. Sister Qianyue, do you have anything to eat?” Yu Qingyu asked.
Jiang Qianyue said, “I only have some fruits. But I ordered takeaway. Fan Fan, go and ask Chu Bai if he wants some. I’ve also ordered his portion.”
“Alright,” she said.
Lu Yufan then took out her phone and sent Chu Bai a message.
“Aren’t you going to ask Brother Shan to come along?” Yu Qingyu asked.
“Brother Shan went offline long ago. I think he went to find Playboy. Playboy seems to be in Zhongjiang City too. I think he’s going to bring Brother Shan to hit on girls,” Jiang Qianyue said helplessly.
“I can understand Brother Shan’s situation. He has suffered such a huge blow. Fan Fan, you should be careful of Playboy. He looks like a scumbag,” Yu Qingyu said to Lu Yufan.
“Oh, Sister Qingyu, how could I be interested in him? By the way, Chu Bai said that he hasn’t eaten and will be here soon.”
Jiang Qianyue nodded.
Very quickly, Chu Bai knocked on the door, and Lu Yufan opened it for him.
“Good evening,” Chu Bai smiled and greeted him.
“Good evening. Come in, it’s cold outside.”
Chu Bai walked in.
“The food will be here soon. Take a seat. Qingyu, get Chu Bai a glass of water. Chu Bai, wait for me. I just need to finish up some work.”
Chu Bai nodded.
Very quickly, Jiang Qianyue finished her work and walked over.
The delivery had also arrived.
She ordered a few stir-fried vegetables and fruits.
The few of them gathered around the table.
“Brother Shan isn’t here?”
“He went to look for Playboy,” Lu Yufan said. “They seem to be going to the bar to pick up girls.”
Chu Bai shrugged his shoulders.
“Chu Bai, you can’t learn these bad things from them,” Lu Yufan said.
“Don’t worry, I don’t like to go to that kind of place. Besides, even if they see me, they won’t know that I’m Bai Ye,” Chu Bai said.
Jiang Qianyue revealed a smile and looked at Lu Yufan. “Fan Fan, you’ve started to control Chu Bai?”
Whoosh!
Lu Yufan’s face suddenly turned red.
“Sister Qian, I’m just giving him advice as a friend.” Lu Yufan pouted.
“Alright, alright. It’s just friendly advice.” Jiang Qianyue smiled, then looked at Chu Bai. “Chu Bai, have some food.”
“Mhm.”
Chu Bai nodded.
“By the way, Sister Qianyue, how’s the auction house going?” Chu Bai suddenly asked.
Jiang Qianyue shook her head. “It won’t work out. It’s too difficult. There are too many rich people in Hua Nation. Basically, the shops that are suitable for large auction houses have already been rented out to the various large chambers of commerce and guilds. The remaining ones are either too small, too expensive, or not rented by NPCs.”
Chu Bai had to hurry up and auction off some items, such as the guild-building orders.
Right now, everyone was focused on the guild-building orders. With so many players, it was inevitable that others would start to get their hands on them.
Once that happened, Chu Bai’s guild-building orders would be worthless.
Meanwhile, no other player had rented a place to set up an auction house yet. Due to the lack of equipment, there was nothing to auction off in an auction house.
The reason why Jiang Qianyue had the confidence to set up an auction house was that it would be unique. Secondly, with Chu Bai around, there was no lack of good equipment.
Lu Yufan said, “There’s a huge place in the center of Tianhua City. It’s worth hundreds of millions of bucks to rent it for a year. It’s too expensive.”
Chu Bai thought for a while and asked, “Who is in charge of that place?”
“It belongs to the city lord. I’ve talked to the city lord, and the price is indeed not up for negotiation,” Jiang Qianyue said.
Chu Bai thought for a moment.
He had completed the city lord’s mission, and the city lord had asked him to state a condition.
To be honest, Chu Bai did not know what he could ask for, but he felt that it would be good to ask for that place.
“I completed a mission from the city lord previously. I feel like I should be able to get to that place. It might be free of charge,” Chu Bai said.
Jiang Qianyue was speechless.
“Woah!”
Lu Yufan exclaimed.
Before Jiang Qianyue could say anything, Chu Bai said, “I’ll go online tomorrow to take a look. If it’s possible, we can use that place as your auction house. It can also be our base of operations.”
“That’s too much…” Jiang Qianyue looked at Chu Bai and said.
Then, she thought for a moment and said to Chu Bai, “I’ll give you 50% of the shares.”
She wanted to earn money in the game to do business. Giving Chu Bai 50% meant that she would earn half of Chu Bai’s money in the future.
“Alright,” he said.
Chu Bai nodded and did not refuse.
“Woah! That means Chu Bai has become a boss,” Lu Yufan exclaimed.
Chu Bai smiled and said, “A boss? That sounds pretty good.”
Jiang Qianyue brought over a bottle of red wine.
“I’ll draft the contract tomorrow. If it works, we’ll do it.”
Chu Bai nodded.
“Then I’ll go take a look. If it’s successful, you can go online and make an announcement. I have guild-building orders here.”
Jiang Qianyue was speechless.
“You want to auction guild-building orders?”
She stood up, a little excited.
If her auction house directly auctioned the guild-building orders, she would become famous!
“Right!”
“Alright!”
Chu Bai went online on the spot.
