65: Tailor Tang Lili

"I'm sure. Hurry up and calculate the total."

When Xiao Xing checked the prices, he had already calculated the total price himself, but he still followed the procedure to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The prices of the shops ranged from 100,000 to 1,000,000 gold coins. For the four, five, and six-story shopping malls, each building was priced between 1.88 million and 3.88 million. The prices for the seven, eight, and nine-story buildings were between 4 million and 6 million gold coins.

"My Lord, there are 15,000 of these shops, totaling 30 billion gold coins. Adding those manors and headquarters, the total is 30.456 billion gold...!"

As the woman spoke, she couldn't help but bite her lower lip, her face burning intensely.

She hoped Xiao Xing was serious, yet she hardly dared to believe it was true. After all, this price was somewhat unimaginable.

"There are 30.456 billion gold coins in here. Verify it, and then give me the property deeds."

Xiao Xing did not hesitate. He had calculated this exact number in his head. Moreover, he planned to buy properties in other cities, so he didn't intend to waste time.

The woman glanced into the spatial bag and then slowly picked it up with trembling hands.

By selling so many properties for the city at once, she would have made a huge contribution. She would become a high-ranking official and enjoy wealth and prestige, never needing to stay up late doing part-time jobs again.

She was so excited she couldn't speak, and her body kept trembling. She had never imagined she would have a day like this.

Thump!

Without any warning, the woman threw herself into Xiao Xing's arms, her eyes already brimming with tears of excitement.

If it weren't for Xiao Xing, she wouldn't have enjoyed such glory, so she was extremely grateful and moved by him.

"Alright, alright. Is there a need to be this excited?"

Seeing the woman clutching him tightly, as excited as a little girl, Xiao Xing could only pat her on the back, hoping she would calm down.

Men and women shouldn't be so intimate, and this was a public place. If someone came to buy a house and saw this, how embarrassing would that be!

"Thank you. My name is Tang Lili. If you ever need help with anything in the future, My Lord, you can find me at 769.560. I will never decline if I can help."

Tang Lili looked up and said this, gave Xiao Xing a hard kiss, and then ran back to her seat shyly.

She didn't mean anything else by it; she was just so happy that she wanted to show her gratitude to Xiao Xing.

"I want a Tailor Certification. I'll pay you 1 million gold coins, treating it as a purchase."

Xiao Xing didn't mind her actions and instead planned to buy a Tailor Certification from her.

He had just looked at Tang Lili's status and saw that she was actually an Intermediate Tailor.

However, obtaining a certification wasn't that easy. There were likely System restrictions; NPCs couldn't just give out certifications for no reason.

Only when a player performed a certain task that raised the NPC's favorability to a certain level could the NPC potentially provide a certification.

But hearing Tang Lili's words now, there seemed to be a chance to get one.

Tailors specialized in making various Fashions and accessories. If a player wore Fashion, their character would not show any of their actual equipment.

Fashions were also accessories. Ordinary Fashions were just for looks and had no attribute bonuses. Good Fashions or accessories had the effect of increasing charm, which was pursued by everyone.

If one had a piece of Advanced Fashion, the character would look incredibly cool. Just like in reality, no one disliked wearing good-looking clothes.

In the city, if everyone was wearing cool clothes while you were covered in cold metal, it would look unappealing.

A good piece of Fashion was also a standard for the wealthy. By the Middle Stage of the game, if you didn't even have a cool piece of Fashion, you couldn't possibly be considered a tycoon.

"Does My Lord want to learn how to make accessories from me?"

Tang Lili was a bit curious. Since Xiao Xing was so rich, did he still need to do these things?

If she were that rich, she would have gone off to enjoy herself long ago. Why would she be like Xiao Xing, dabbling in this and that?

"My friend likes making these beautiful things. I just want to get it for her to learn."

Xiao Xing didn't plan to become a Tailor himself, but he could let someone else learn. As long as they took Tang Lili's certification to find her, she would generally accept them as a disciple.

Back then, Luge didn't take Xiao Xing in, likely because he was afraid of holding him back. After all, Xiao Xing was destined to go to the outside world and wouldn't stay in the Novice Village.

"Alright, I'll give you this certification. You don't need to give me money, My Lord. If you ever want to learn, you can come find me anytime."

Hearing that Xiao Xing didn't want to learn from her personally, a hint of disappointment appeared on Tang Lili's flushed face, but she still took out the certification.

She had sold so many houses that she wouldn't need to be here anymore; she would have plenty of time.

She really wanted to take Xiao Xing back and teach him personally. She felt that Xiao Xing was not only extremely wealthy but also very handsome and charming, so she had already developed a bit of a crush on this man.

"Then many thanks, miss. I will come find you in a few days. Please give me the property deeds."

He did indeed want to go to Tang Lili for a piece of Fashion, but he had to wait until his skills were free. Although he estimated she didn't have any high-quality Fashion, under the million-fold amplification, a Divine-Grade Fashion piece would emerge.

"Okay, I'll go get them for you right now."

Hearing Xiao Xing say he would come find her, Tang Lili couldn't help but run off to get the property deeds with joy.

She really hoped Xiao Xing would come find her, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Now, hearing those words made her incredibly happy.

Is my charm value too high?

Seeing Tang Lili's reaction, Xiao Xing couldn't help but glance at the luck necklace.

He had just received a System notification that Tang Lili's favorability toward him had increased by 70 points.

The necklace wasn't visible on the outside, so he hadn't taken it off. After all, if his attributes were too low, it would affect his travel speed.

Moreover, he didn't plan to take it off. If his charm value was too low, NPCs would basically be cold-faced when he tried to get things done, making it very difficult.

If it weren't for the wings being too conspicuous, he wouldn't even plan to take those off. That 500 charm value was no joke.

It was said that with 1,000 charm, it would be easy to win over average female NPCs. Whether that was true, he didn't know.

It seemed he should go find Tang Lili as soon as possible. It wasn't for the female NPC, but because once he had Fashion, he wouldn't have to take off his wings and shoes, and it wouldn't affect his walking speed.

A moment later, Tang Lili ran out from the room in the back and handed him a bundle.

After the two exchanged greetings, Xiao Xing rushed to other cities to buy properties. By the time Xiao Xing finished buying properties in 11 cities, it was already noon.

The number of properties purchased in other cities was about the same, totaling over 380 billion gold coins. However, he didn't feel any heartache, as there were now over a dozen stacks of property deeds in the Divine Deer Space.

After logging off and having lunch with Mu Yaner, the police station called her, saying she needed to assist in a case investigation.

Xiao Xing intended to drop her off and see Yan Xiaoling while he was at it, but Mu Yaner said there was no need to worry in broad daylight and she could go by herself. Xiao Xing had no choice but to continue playing the game at home.

Holy Light City was the last place to buy shops, so as soon as he logged on, he appeared at the entrance of the property sales hall.
