Chapter 668: Announcing His Arrival
“This is the purchase contract for the house, please check if there’s any problem.”
Su Yuan glanced over it, then confirmed, “No problem!”
Xiaoqing said excitedly, “May I ask how you’d like to settle the payment, sir?”
“Swipe the card.”
Su Yuan took out his Alliance Token.
Xiaoqing immediately began the process.
The token slid through the machine, and a full 700 billion Kalpa units were debited.
[Beep, 700 billion Kalpa units deducted successfully!]
Hiss!
This time, everyone present turned completely pale.
Seven hundred billion Kalpa units—he bought it on the spot, spending with brutal extravagance.
Everyone there memorized Su Yuan’s face and aura, fearing that if they met him later they might not recognize him and accidentally offend him.
Ji Qing’s expression froze completely. He stepped behind his teammates to hide his figure, the Dao name “Seven Stars” flashing through his mind, and an uncontrollable, daring thought rose in his chest: could it… really be that mysterious master-level artificer?
Captain Dong’s eyes also brightened, various thoughts rising in his mind.
Zhan Tian was utterly stunned. He had come to the Second Frontline and fought bravely, but he only had one million Kalpa units in cash on him, which he had earned through his own efforts and merit exchange.
Compared to Su Yuan, it was nothing.
He couldn’t help asking, “Teacher, could you possibly be that mysterious master-level artificer?”
“What are you talking about?” Su Yuan asked, puzzled.
“The majority of the Dominator Artifacts in the military logistics depot bear the Star insignia. We suspect they’re forged by the same artificer or faction.”
“That really is me!” Su Yuan nodded.
Zhan Tian fell silent.
Their conversation had not been hidden.
In an instant, the whole place went quiet. Many people stared at Su Yuan with mouths agape, thinking the same thing: this is a real big shot!
The news spread instantly, alerting many powerful figures.
Especially other artificers. When they heard, they immediately rushed toward the housing center to come see the mysterious master-level artificer.
Xiaoqing’s processing speed was extremely fast. After the Chaos Jade payment went through, the property certificate was issued quickly, and then she handed both the property certificate and the house’s control core to Su Yuan.
The entire process took less than five minutes, an efficiency that pleased Su Yuan.
Su Yuan said to Zhan Tian, “What about you? Will you live at my place from now on, or should I buy another house for you?”
Su Yuan knew Zhan Tian’s potential, so he was willing to invest in him.
Zhan Tian sucked in a breath and hurriedly waved his hand, “No need to buy another one, no need. I’ll stay at your place, Teacher.”
“Fine. That house is big enough, otherwise it would be too empty with so few people. I’ll be off now; you stay and accompany your teammates.”
Su Yuan pointed at his teammates.
Zhan Tian nodded, “Okay.”
At that moment, Captain Dong seemed to have made up his mind. He stepped forward, bowed, and said, “Dongfang Mingjing pays respects to Master Seven Stars!”
Su Yuan smiled faintly, “Commander Dongfang, no need for formalities.”
Dongfang Mingjing glanced at Zhan Tian and then asked, “Pardon my presumption, but may I request a loan from the master? I’ll pay interest at the normal rate.”
Zhan Tian was taken aback. He hadn’t expected his captain to ask for a loan so suddenly.
Su Yuan asked, “Three billion Kalpa units?”
“Exactly!” Dongfang Mingjing nodded.
“For the sake of you taking care of my disciple, I’ll lend you that money and waive the interest. When you have the funds, just return the principal to Zhan Tian!”
Dongfang Mingjing said solemnly, “Interest will be paid as per rules. I’ll hand both principal and interest to Zhan Tian together.”
“Suit yourself.”
Su Yuan waved his hand. A bright stream of light shot from his token and entered Dongfang Mingjing’s Alliance Token, the three billion Kalpa unit loan transferred.
Zhan Tian said, “I’ll keep the money safe and give it to Teacher when the time comes!”
Su Yuan shook his head, “It’s such a small amount—use it yourself!”
Zhan Tian was stunned beyond belief.
Ji Qing widened his eyes and looked at Zhan Tian with envy; this guy’s luck was unbelievable.
Su Yuan then checked the rise in his Chaos Fame Points. Just from this house purchase and the loan incident, his fame points were rapidly climbing.
The True Name Star within him was also increasing rapidly, and his reputation began to spread particularly fast across the Second Frontline, especially in Qingfeng City.
The news spread quickly here—much faster than the Third Frontline!
Perhaps because battles were more frequent here, nearly everyone habitually checked the latest news at any time.
His incident had already reached the forums and quickly climbed to the trending list.
By the time he reached the housing center’s entrance,
the fame gained from buying a house actually surpassed the fame he had previously earned from forging a massive number of Dominator Artifacts.
Old Donkey walked beside Su Yuan as they reached the donkey cart. Old Donkey felt embarrassed.
“Master, this cart…” Old Donkey was ashamed. Letting Su Yuan ride this cart would be too humiliating.
Su Yuan calmly climbed into the cart and said, “Let’s go see the new house!”
Old Donkey adopted a solemn expression, “Yes, master, sit tight!”
He climbed back into the front and began to drive the donkey cart into the traffic lane.
Around them, luxurious vehicles still passed by.
But at this moment, Old Donkey felt that his cart was the most luxurious of all. It wasn’t the appearance that mattered, it was who was inside!
Old Donkey hadn’t driven far when a tall tower-ship had roared past them, then suddenly slowed and hovered behind the donkey cart.
Old Donkey looked back in confusion.
On the tower-ship, a middle-aged cultivator cupped his hands and said, “I am Qi Wuhui, senior master-level artificer. I heard Master Seven Stars has appeared and came to pay respects!”
Su Yuan lifted the curtain and asked, puzzled, “Master Qi, what business do you have?”
Qi Wuhui smiled, “Master Seven Stars’ craft is superb. I very much wish to exchange ideas and discuss forging methods with you. Besides, the Second Frontline’s top Artificer Academy was recently established and lacks famous teachers. Given Master Seven Stars’ unsurpassed forging ability, on behalf of the academy I invite Seven Stars Fellow Daoist to become a distinguished teacher!”
Su Yuan replied, “In that case, Daoist, accompany me to my residence and we’ll discuss it in detail.”
“Haha, very well!”
Su Yuan nodded and lowered the curtain.
Soon, however, many more tower-ships, flying ships, and sky-boats appeared behind them.
“The Primordial Commerce Guild’s chief steward requests an audience with Master Seven Stars!”
“The Ji family requests an audience with Master Seven Stars!”
Old Donkey stared at the scene behind them, dumbfounded, “Master, it looks like everyone wants to visit you!”
“Collect their formal visiting cards for me. I’ll receive them all together tomorrow,” Su Yuan said.
Old Donkey hurriedly nodded, then called back to the crowd, “If you wish to see my master, present your visiting card first.”
Very soon, a pile of visiting cards accumulated in front of Old Donkey. Each visiting card came from households far above Old Donkey’s status, leaving him thoroughly shocked.
