Chapter 5 Settling down The Joyce family lined up to enter the city. The average city in the Bauhinia Continent has a population of tens of millions, and the population of Lanfeng City is over 100 million. God-level warriors of various races travel on the streets of Lanfeng City, and occasionally you can see Bauhinia Army soldiers maintaining order. It is a rule set by the Lord God that fighting is not allowed in the city. As the army of Lord God Bauhinia, the Bauhinia Army naturally has to carry out the Lord God's orders. There are shops on both sides of the street, including various hotels, restaurants, and clothing stores. Although Jegg already knew about Blue Maple City from the original novel, this was his first time to come here in person. Therefore, he was very curious about everything around him and looked around with great pleasure. A total of fifteen people from the Joyce family came this time, ten of whom will stay in Blue Maple City, and Jaeger is one of the ten. "Let's go to Bauhinia Castle first." Amy walked at the front of the team. All the houses in Lanfeng City are sold in Bauhinia Castle, so they have to solve the housing problem first. Soon, they saw the three castles of Blue Maple City. The black sand castle on the left is made entirely of black sand.
The one on the right is made entirely of purple ore, with a Bauhinia Castle carved with Bauhinia flowers on top. Directly in front of him was a demon castle that was a hundred meters high, with a giant red one-eyed human face sculpture and dark purple walls. Led by Amy, everyone went straight to Bauhinia Castle. There are three floors of sales windows in Bauhinia Castle. The higher you go, the more expensive the items on sale become. The houses are sold on the third floor. In a corner on the third floor is the counter for selling houses. "hiss" Amy brought Jaeger and others to the counter. When she saw the price of the house on the counter, she couldn't help but gasp. The last time Corey went to Blue Maple City, there were three vacant houses, the cheapest of which cost 500 million ink stones. And now, there is only one vacant house, and the price is 10 billion Moshi. When Jager saw the price, he was secretly shocked. In the original novel, the cheapest house in Diyi City costs eight million Moshi, and the most expensive one costs more than three hundred million Moshi. Under normal circumstances, most houses cost one or two hundred million Moshi. The housing prices in Lanfeng City are several times higher than those in Diyi City. Moreover, as a major transportation hub, many large chambers of commerce have their headquarters here, so there is no problem selling houses. "I want this house!" Amy gritted her teeth and placed a space ring containing one billion ink stones on the counter. Although she felt painful, she was more worried that the remaining house would be bought by someone else. "The Joyce family is still a little poor." Jagger sighed. Generally speaking, for a higher god with the strength of a five-star demon, it would not be a problem for him to have a wealth of tens of billions of ink stones. But after all, Amy had only broken through a few decades ago, had no accumulation, and had been staying in the Joyce family. She could not do missions like other five-star demons or earn ink stones through other channels. The Joyce family itself is also a small family. Like the tribes outside the city, their members only earn ink stones by nurturing divine artifacts and divine crystals, and their income is pitifully small. The bulk of the Joyce family's wealth came from Amy killing the two upper gods decades ago and obtaining their space rings.
The wealth of an ordinary upper god is usually hundreds of millions of ink stones. Jaeger estimated that the Joyce family's total wealth now should be only tens or hundreds of billions of ink stones. "Okay." After hearing what Amy said, the staff behind the counter put away the space ring, checked the ink stone inside and found it was correct, then completed the formalities neatly and handed Amy a black badge. "Dear guest, please drop blood on the badge to recognize the owner. If you die and the house is ownerless, we will know through the badge, and Bauhinia Castle will take back the house." Amy took the badge and handed it to Jaeger. "Little brother, you must confess your loyalty with blood." "Me?" Jegg was stunned, and the other tribesmen around him couldn't help but show envy. "Of course, you will live in Lanfeng City from now on. It's better for you to recognize the master than for me to do so. After all, it is safer inside the city than outside." Amy said with a smile. "Okay." Jager didn't hesitate and dropped a drop of blood on the badge. "Okay, the formalities are completed. Congratulations to the guest for becoming an official resident of Lanfeng City." The staff behind the counter took the badge and said with a smile. "Guest, please follow me, I will take you to the location of the house." A young woman came to Jegg and others. Led by the woman, Jager and others arrived at the house. It was a courtyard with a separate entrance and yard, which was spacious enough to accommodate ten people. "Everyone, this place is now in your hands. Elder Corey will bring the tribe's items here from time to time, and you can take them to the Black Sand Castle to sell them." Amy instructed the ten tribesmen who were about to stay. "Yes, patriarch!" "There is one more thing. When you are in Lanfeng City, you must find a way to find out the methods of refining items such as Death Puppets, Metal Lifeforms, God-Slaying Arrows, and report back to the clan." Amy instructed. Jager knew that Amy had always wanted to increase the family's source of income so that she could buy soul gold beads and other medicines to assist in cultivation, so that the tribe members could practice better. Today, the Joyce family mainly relies on artifacts and divine crystals to earn ink stones, and the income is too low. If they can refine treasures such as the Death Puppet, the speed of earning wealth will be much higher. There are many items in Bauhinia Castle that are sold at very high prices, such as God-killing Arrows, Metal Life, and many auxiliary medicines and poisons, but the Joyce family does not know how to refine them. The Joyce family has very shallow roots and is one of the lowest families in hell. Looking at the four supreme planes, the top family is naturally the Lord God family. With the Lord God's support and countless power of the Lord God, they have no worries about cultivation resources. After all, the value of a drop of the Lord God's power is calculated in trillions of ink stones. Why do they need to work so hard to earn wealth? Below the main god’s family are the families and forces established by some top-level upper gods. Relying on their powerful family members, these family forces can occupy important transportation routes and build cities. For example, the Bagshaw family of the Starry Mist Sea established Miluo Island, which is as prosperous as the Blue Maple City, and the wealth they obtain every day is also enormous. Some powerful families can also make a lot of wealth by relying on high-quality resources. For example, the eighteen families around the Amethyst Mountains can continuously obtain inkstones thanks to the continuous output of amethyst. There is more than one master commander behind these eighteen families. Under these commanding families are the family forces established by the seven-star demons and six-star demons. Some of them set up chambers of commerce to earn wealth.
The prices of many delicacies and clothes in the city are very high because their raw materials come from all over Hell and even from other planes. The Chamber of Commerce earns the difference by transporting these raw materials to various places. Some families also set up businesses in the city, such as hotels. The hotels in the city have no shortage of customers and can earn ink stones continuously. Lower-class families can refine high-value items such as Death Puppets and sell them. Next is the Joyce family, a family that can only create income by relying on its members to nurture divine artifacts and divine crystals. (End of this chapter)
