Chapter 49 Gathering of Fate, The Sunken Ship Area

"Five hundred thousand?!"

Ye Xuan was speechless when he saw the price offered by the sales NPC.

In the early stages of this game, who can come up with 500,000 game points?

“Each purchase order is different, and the one you have, young master, is located in the very center of the territory.”

"Moreover, the outer attic can be used as a shop, and the large courtyard at the back is enough to house dozens of people. 500,000 is already a very cheap price."

The sales NPC's eyes darted around nimbly.

"If you can't come up with that much money all at once, you can choose to pay in installments. The more installments you pay, the more cost-effective it is. You see..."

Ye Xuan knew about installment payments, but he didn't expect that the initial purchase of a house would be so expensive.

"Young master, we're having a special event right now! If you choose a one-year installment plan, we'll give you two top-tier NPCs as a gift!"

When Ye Xuan left the sales office, he was followed by two sexy and slender female NPCs.

"Great, great! Having them help sell things will be perfect; we'll make a killing!"

Ye Xuan knew the whereabouts of many things, and simply selling them to Bie Ruxue and the others was no longer appropriate. The appearance of this purchase order was just in time.

This is a huge sum of 500 million that Ye Xuan needs to pay off within a year, but he already has a total of 4000 million in Xianyuan Traveling Merchants, so this amount is nothing.

The location he bought was at a crossroads in the center of the area, where there was a huge flow of people every day.

"Not bad, not bad at all, the space in this two-story building is surprisingly spacious."

Ye Xuan left some unused items from his backpack in the hall, and the two NPCs would take care of them.

"Let me prepare some more things, and in a few days you two can open the shop. We'll name it Juyuanlou."

Ye Xuan never expected that Juyuanlou, which he opened on a whim, would one day become the largest business association in the world.

"Listen up, everyone! If you can kill Wuxin even once, I'll immediately transfer 500 million!"

"Furthermore, I'm collecting special items at high prices; name your price if they're useful to me."

Huangfu Mochen's voice echoed across all five of the Dragon Kingdom's strongholds, a clear indication that he intended to bury Ye Xuan in money.

"Good heavens, whose young master is this? This announcement alone could cost 50!"

"It's Huangfu Mochen, the prodigy of S City. I heard his talent is one in ten thousand, S-level."

"How did Wuxin become his enemy? Isn't he doomed now?"

"Yes, no matter how strong he is, he's still just a person. The Huangfu family is a top-tier family in S City; killing him would be no harder than crushing an ant."

Hearing the system announcement, Ye Xuan was not surprised at all; he had never intended to let Huangfu Mochen go anyway.

Ye Xuan didn't pay much attention to Huangfu Mochen. His most valuable possessions had already been taken from him, and all that was left was to wait for the game and reality to merge.

"Juyuan Tower needs a chance to become an overnight sensation. Besides needing a large amount of equipment, it also needs some rare treasures to build its reputation."

Once Juyuanlou is up and running, Ye Xuan's debts will no longer be a problem.

After a moment's thought, Ye Xuan's target became an excellent spot for treasure to fall in his previous life.

The sea area where the elf shipwrecked.

Legend has it that all elves are beautiful, so they never intermarry with outsiders, and other races are all ugly in their eyes.

But this race, which has such strict requirements for appearance, almost had a marriage alliance with the swordfish race.

"Is this the area where the shipwreck occurred?"

Looking at the calm sea before him, Ye Xuan was somewhat suspicious.

Legend has it that this sea area contains a large number of shipwrecks belonging to the Elf and Swordfish races, all of which were used as wedding ships for their intermarriages.

Both the elves and the swordfish clan attached great importance to the marriage alliance, so the wedding ship was filled with all sorts of priceless treasures.

The rumor was all over the place at the time, but countless players searched day and night and still couldn't find a single thing.

Moreover, the ocean is always a synonym for danger, and the ferocious beasts beneath the sea will not allow you to freely explore their territory.

tear!

A loud splash of water broke through the current, and Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

Can't hide!

It's a very strong intuition that even if you sense an impending attack, it's too late.

Pfft!

A spear-like spike pierced through Ye Xuan's body, followed by its entire body.

This is a level 18 swordfish. Its body is not long, but its nose, which looks like a spear, is more than a meter long.

As usual, it pierced through the bodies of greedy humans and charged forward a long distance without slowing down.

No blood?

Swordfish's compact features showed obvious confusion.

"That was close! No wonder they're known as the fastest swordfish in the sea."

Ye Xuan's speed was already astonishing, but when he sensed danger, he absolutely could not dodge it by speed alone.

When it comes to speed, the space-based system has never been afraid of anyone.

The instant he realized he couldn't dodge, Ye Xuan immediately activated the Phantom Shadow Technique he had just learned, and it was very effective.

Although it can only teleport to any location within five meters, it is perfect for dodging deadly attacks from swordfish.

While the swordfish was still in a daze, Ye Xuan had already shot an arrow at it.

"Bang!"

Instant kill; level advantage doesn't apply to Ye Xuan.

Swordfish are a very powerful group among marine creatures, but their strengths and weaknesses are too obvious.

Their superior speed and penetration are the foundation of their strength, but their fragile defense and meager health make them very easy to kill instantly.

"A piercing arrow?"

This swordfish only dropped one piece of equipment, or more precisely, one arrow.

[Penetrating Arrow]: +2000 physical penetration, deals 800 true damage.

Good stuff. This is the first time Ye Xuan has obtained equipment that suits him so well, although each of the Piercing Arrows can only be used once.

The deeper you swim into the sea near the shipwreck, the more frequently swordfish appear, and the higher their level becomes.

"There is absolutely no trace of a shipwreck."

Ordinary players can't move freely in the sea like Ye Xuan, but even so, he still couldn't find any clues.

Many people gave up after searching in vain in their previous life, but there is another reason why Ye Xuan came back this time.

"The reason why Fatty Chen's business guild suddenly developed so rapidly was because it inexplicably acquired a large number of rare and precious treasures."

"Many people speculate that he was the one who discovered the shipwreck."

Now that it's been more than a month since he started making his fortune, could it be that some clues didn't emerge because it was too early?

"Do we have to go all the way to the center?"

The area around the sunken ship is very large. Ye Xuan can now occasionally see swordfish people of level 3 or 40. If he goes any further in, even he will find it very easy to escape.

"Huh? When?!"

The moment Ye Xuan looked up, he found himself surrounded by countless swordfish.

Within a radius of a hundred meters, the area was densely packed with swordfish of all levels, leaving no room for escape.

Even with Ye Xuan's perception, he still didn't know how these swordfish had surrounded him.

"Human, what have you discovered?"

The school of swordfish slowly parted, and a swordfish with golden lines on its back stared sharply at Ye Xuan.
