Reincarnation of Audemars - Who Am I...?

Earn And Spend A Million

Over the course of 5 days, for the first day itself, all the 10,000 iron ingots and 10,000 bronze amulets were being stored in my storage bag. It would be offloaded to NoOne at the Northern Forest. Right now both Fusion Chambers had a single iron amulet each in their slot and it was set to duplicate to 9999 instead.

The initial idea for me to fuse them had been abandoned as it was like a double and triple job so on that day, it was considered as a fresh start. "Damn... How could I be so stoopid...?!?! Other MC should have more brains than mine to think of a better solution instead of beating around the Bush and taking a long cut instead.

I had made a trial of putting 2 pieces to be made into duplication but it failed and both pieces of iron amulet disintegrated. Somehow it knew I was trying to beat the system and duplicate it twice as fast per round. Heh... Its a smart system at the same time a dumb one too.

During Day One at the fusion chamber, I had gotten a +20,000% progress. I levelled up to Level: 1324/100,000, Advanced Crafter 478/1000 and had Unallocated points: 3570. I warped from my room after I had changed to my battle gear and went to NoOne's little camp and he took the iron ingot at 1 credit, the bronze amulet at 5 credit and I had accumulated a total of 60,000 credits.

When I showed him the iron amulet of strength he offered me 10 credits for it. Well, at least I made the right choice to dispose of all the bronze ones and start in duplicating the iron ones.

For the rest of the 4 days, I had managed to duplicate a total of 80,000 pieces of iron amulets and had exchanged it 800,000 credits and a progress level of 80,000%. Later on, I checked my stats and discovered that I had made a whooping  Level: 2124/100,000

Professional Crafter 278/10000

Unallocated points: 11570

Wealth: 1,099,650 credits.

I looked at my attributes and while some of the readers might say... OP Xia this MC... But actually fact I'm just the lowest of the adventurers out there.

I thanked NoOne for the trade as he did not even inquire where I get so many of the iron amulets and I headed back to Northern Ingmery. Somehow I walked past the Council Chambers in the Central Ingmery and I've got an idea and I went inside to Angus' office.

"Good morning Mister Audemars, you had gotten the store but you had not run your business yet? What can I do for you today?" Angus asked me as he placed his glasses from his bridge of the nose and let it hang instead. There was a gold chain that supports the end of the glasses and it made ponder that a man like Angus could afford to have a gold chain. I wonder how much is his salary right now.

"Hmm, I would like to take a look at the other pieces of land that's available. It's not for residential and its not for business, it's a place where people can work silently. I wished to open a production plant that runs 24 hours a day on 3 rotating shifts. Do you have such facilities here, Mister Angus?"

"Actually we have plots of lands near the residential areas where there are a number of abandoned houses clustered together. Since these houses are considered as large houses, you can replace them with a design that you seem fit. It's more economical to get workers to knock them down or renovate them."

"So far Mister Angus, the White House had been a production place in the midst of residential district and so far is there any complaints coming from the neighbours?" I asked as I was actually walking on thin ice and really wanted to expand the business first.

Preparation is the key, my friend. Furthermore, I had a life hack so I don't really mind about finance. My trusted Fusion Chambers are churning out the iron amulets as we speak right now.

Too bad it can't be made to duplicate 99k times... Hehehehe. Given one foot, demand one yard. (this is an old proverb stating how a person who gets a bit of privilege and starts demanding for more and can never be satiated in life) Haiyooo... Greedy human!

"So far it has been good. It is great having this type of conversation and interaction as we all could be on the same page. Hmm, let me bring down the locale map here."

"Oh, here's an abandoned plot of land which was used to be a duck farm and another abandoned farmland just beside it. Its a street past down the White House and here's another one adjacent to it. This was a chicken farm as well."

Angus pointed out that the plot for farming is bigger than the large residential lots and furthermore these lots are assigned and there's no way to convert farmland to be a residential at all.

"Have you seen how compact the Northern and Southern District yet? There are some small and medium residential lots there and no farmlands as it was meant for the nobles and royalties while the serfs stayed mostly in the central district."

"Not that I noticed about the empty houses there in the Northern and Southern. How about the statistics here in Central? Would there be a high rate of unemployment here?"

"Oh, as for the unemployment rate, it is on medium to medium-high which means its 10:1 ratio. There are a total of 500 odd residents here in Central and so the unemployed is about 50 or so."

"Northern and Southern are mainly unemployed but they are extremely filthy rich. They basically walk and sleeps on credits. I won't mention where they get their wealth from but these are the people who were exiled as they do not wish to follow the Ruler of Aermagh."

"Do you know that this country is under the Ruler of Aermagh whom you were deployed under their Legion before? Or have you forgotten about it already?" Angus pointed out and I managed to get a little grasp of this country's history.

"I am from a distance far, far away, Mister Angus, and my whole town were wiped out by these rampaging beasts and now what was left is just a flat piece of desert." I put in a sad face while I told him this part which was total bullshit and I kept to the story somehow.

"Oh, I didn't know about. Sorry, mate. So back to this farmlands. Which one would you prefer? We can negotiate the price since the Council Chambers has viewed you as having a good reputation."

"REPUTATION... That's what I need now. At least be as law-abiding as possible, no brushes against the law and any government officials and everything is good to go." I thought as I decided on these 2 farmlands which stood just side by side. It would be great to start with at this moment.

"This farmland is 24x18 meters and its price is 650 credits per square meter. The total cost for each farmland is 280,800 credits and if you are taking these 2 farmlands of equal size, we could give you a discount. It would be a flat 550,000 credits."

Angus explained to me and as I figured out, I would be able to raise a further 1 million credits on every 5 days time. "Its a deal Mister Angus. 550,000 credits for these 2 plots of lands." I replied as I let out a sigh at seeing my credits just fly by.

"Alright, here's 2 drafts for the design, you may choose the size of the building you want to choose. The cheapest range would be a wooden barn of 20x15 meters. It has two sliding doors 2.5 meters on each side with high ceiling ventilation windows. Its height would be about 2.5meters high with a flat thatched roof. Here is the fabricated design."

Angus has shown me the exact warehouse design that I had when I was in Kitakata. A very simple barn-like design with elevated staging area inside to store the goods as well as a workspace of 50 employees per shift. But right now 15 employees per shift would suffice.

"Do you provide wooden furniture as well? I would like to have nine 3 meters and 2-meter wide long table joined together and 18 long 3-meter bench with a backrest. Please add 5 clear 10x5 meters sunroofs each and also 5 central lightings."

"The floor would be a simple dirt floor, and I would like to have 24 pieces of 2x2 meters pallets and 1000 wooden crates the size of 50x50x50 centimetres. A 3x1x1.5 meter wooden shelf would do."

"It would be a full barn with nothing else in them. The same goes to the other barn as well. Could you calculate the costs for me? I hope it won't be over my budget."

"Alright, give me a second as I finish up the cut and paste for all your requirements... That's it, it's done. Take a look at the designs I had implemented based on your requirements."

Angus showed me the 3D designs that he had created in the app on his Apple Tablet (which I'm not supposed to say, but I mention it anyway) and it looked exactly what I had imagined it to be complete with a fly and walk-in mode." The price for each barn with the specific details and its furnishing totals to 145,678  and for both is 291,356. Just pay 290,000 credits as a round figure and this 2 barns would be on the way within 24 hours from now."

I looked at the total on the draft and design form and saw 840,000 credits. I swallowed real hard and then I put my John Hancock at the bottom of the design and immediately my wealth dwindled down. *Kaching*  A receipt was given for both farmhouses, land title deed and the design of the barns was handed to me, as from today I am the new proud owner of 2 barns right now.

I wiped imaginary beads of perspiration in my head and asked how much does a small house costs and was told the key is 12,150 credits, the lot on a 4x4 meters cost 10,400 and the house, with a living space, one bedroom, kitchen and bathroom costs 50,000.

A person would fork out 72,550 credits. A medium 2 bedroom house would be about 150,000 credits and a large 3 bedroom house would be 250,000. A studio unit would just cost 35,000 credits.

Wow, to be able to own your own house it would take a minimum 35,000 credits to begin with... That would be 4 and a half years of saving up. I checked my interface and found that my new balance for Wealth: 259,650 credits. *Huuuuuuuuu*
