Chapter 54: Giving It a Little Taste of Shock

This young man is too arrogant!

Simply nobody in his eyes... No, nobody in his eyes even when facing a Spectre!

The capitalist Spectre was extremely displeased. No matter what, it was the big boss of Landscape Courtyard, a Spectre at the Commander rank.

He wants to buy Landscape Courtyard from its hands?

And he is already thinking about how to renovate it?

Heh, this kid must have some serious misconceptions about Hell Money.

Does he seriously think this is just a pile of fake paper money burned at a grave?

No way, I have to let him witness the true power of Hell Money.

"Little brother, do you have any idea how much it costs to buy all these villas?"

The capitalist Spectre revealed a palm, saying mysteriously:

"It costs this much! Fifty million Hell Money! Do you have that kind of money?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chen Mu instead wore a delighted smile.

"Only fifty million? Quite cheap, I'll take it!"

Chen Mu said readily.

The capitalist Spectre froze, thinking this young man must be out of his mind.

This was fifty million Hell Money!

He has zero concept of Hell Money, doesn't he?

You must know that just one month into the Spectre Apocalypse, Hell Money was extremely rare for both humans and Spectres alike.

To put it bluntly, the Spectre Apocalypse had not experienced inflation yet, so Hell Money was very valuable!

Even a Spectre of the Duke rank, back at that time, would only have a few hundred thousand Hell Money in their pocket if Chen Mu hadn't given them a hand.

This capitalist boss's entire net worth was only a little over two million Hell Money.

Fifty million Hell Money was dozens of times his entire net worth!

Could an ordinary young man like this possibly pull out fifty million Hell Money?

Are you kidding me!

However, for Chen Mu, fifty million was indeed a great deal.

With so many villas in Landscape Courtyard and such a prime geographic location, these were scarce resources!

A year or two into the Spectre Apocalypse, as there are more and more Spectres and more and more Hell Money, there is no doubt that the prices of rare, high-end villas like those in Landscape Courtyard will skyrocket.

Not to mention doubling, multiplying by dozens of times was entirely possible!

Buy early, enjoy early.

This investment was a guaranteed profit with zero risk!

Without a word, Chen Mu clapped his hands, determined to let the capitalist Spectre witness the true power of Hell Money.

Come on, let's give it a little shock!

Following Chen Mu's applause, stack after stack of brand-new Hell banknotes instantly appeared on the ground beside them.

One million...

Two million...

Five million...

Ten million...

Fifty million!

Stack after stack of Hell banknotes dazzled the eyes.

Under the moonlight, these stacks of Hell banknotes appeared exceptionally dazzling.

The capitalist Spectre was completely stunned.

It stared in disbelief at the Hell Money before its eyes. Those stacks of Hell currency emitted a rich, dense ghostly aura that was simply breathtaking.

The capitalist boss looked at Chen Mu, his gaze filled with utter shock.

He actually has Hell Money!

And so much of it!

This is fifty million, fifty million!

He just casually clapped his hands and pulled it all out.

Just what kind of family fortune does it take to have this?

"Alright, stop the nonsense, sign the contract.

Fifty million, sell the entire Landscape Courtyard to me."

Chen Mu didn't waste any more breath and stated his demand directly.

Selling Landscape Courtyard for fifty million was actually a quite favorable deal for the capitalist Spectre.

Because it had never even dreamed that Landscape Courtyard could sell for such a high price!

It could be said that this transaction was very beneficial to both parties.

Chen Mu was making money off the future, while the capitalist Spectre was making money off the present.

"Alright, alright, alright, let's sign the contract right now."

The capitalist Spectre agreed repeatedly and produced the contract for Landscape Courtyard.

Once the contract was signed, Chen Mu would become the master of Landscape Courtyard.

However, just as the transaction was about to be finalized, the capitalist Spectre suddenly went back on its word.

Looking at Chen Mu before it, a trace of greed flashed through its eyes.

The young man in front of it was actually so wealthy that he could casually pull out fifty million Hell Money.

Infinite greed began to surge within the capitalist Spectre's heart.

The way it looked at Chen Mu changed completely.

In its eyes, Chen Mu had become a lamb ready for slaughter.

Was my asking price too low?

This young man's strength is at the elementary Commander rank. I am at the intermediate Commander rank.

In terms of strength, I am stronger than this young man.

Besides, this is a Spectre domain, my territory!

Rules and whatnot are entirely up to me to change!

The young man in front of me definitely won't be my match on my turf.

So, selling it to him for fifty million is a bit of a loss.

No way, I need to raise the price!

I'm going to make this young man bleed heavily!

I'll rip him off big time.

Thinking of this, the capitalist Spectre wore a greedy smile and looked at Chen Mu with ill intentions:

"Little brother, I'm sorry, but I haven't told you the rules of Landscape Courtyard yet.

If you enter Landscape Courtyard and want to leave alive, you must complete the following two rules:

1: Use one hundred million Hell Money to purchase a single villa in Landscape Courtyard;

2: Invite no fewer than two friends to be guests in your new home.

Only when you achieve both of these and follow the rules will you be able to leave Landscape Courtyard alive."

Hearing the capitalist Spectre's insatiable greed, the corners of Chen Mu's mouth once again curled into an amused smile.

Things were getting even more interesting.

Originally, he was going to spend fifty million to buy the entire Landscape Courtyard, consisting of over a dozen villas.

Now, the capitalist Spectre was arbitrarily raising the price on the spot, demanding one hundred million Hell Money, and that would only buy a single villa!

The price had multiplied by dozens of times!

Not only that, probably assuming Chen Mu was easy to bully, his friends must be easy to bully too.

The capitalist Spectre directly resorted to sustainable draining of the pond, asking Chen Mu to recommend two more friends to come over so it could continue to fleece them ruthlessly.

If Chen Mu guessed correctly, these two rules were supposed to be an either-or choice.

If you have money, buy a villa and you can leave Landscape Courtyard;

If you don't have money, drag a few more people into the mix, and once you have enough heads, you can also leave Landscape Courtyard.

Now, good grief, Boss Chen came to deliver money, and it actually went ahead and raised the difficulty for Boss Chen?

Chen Mu was utterly shocked. Among all the Spectres he had ever met, none had been this daring.

Truly something you only see once in a lifetime.

Chen Mu suddenly wondered if he had been acting too amiable, leading people to think he was a pushover?

When a lion puts on sheep's skin, it doesn't mean the lion has turned into a sheep; it's quite possible it just finished eating one.

The capitalist Spectre saw Chen Mu wearing sheep's skin, acting so amiable and agreeable, and mistook Chen Mu for a sheep.

Well then, it's time to take off the sheep's skin and give it another little shock.

Originally, he wanted to play by the rules of human courtesy with the Spectre, but the Spectre insisted on turning it into a human tragedy.

Boss Chen was furious, and the consequences were severe.

Boss Chen didn't want to spend a single penny anymore; he was going to make the capitalist Spectre voluntarily hand over all the villas.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu instead flashed an amiable smile and said to the capitalist Spectre:

"Alright, as it happens, I do have a few friends. Since I'm moving into a new home, I'd love to invite them over as guests."
