"Two hundred and twenty-four thousand points."
Chen Fan thought to himself, this was nearly fifty percent more than the hundred and fifty thousand he had initially estimated.
Most of these points came from Elite-level Fierce Beasts.
Although each one provided fewer points, the sheer number compensated for that.
Another factor was the quality.
Don’t underestimate this; a Frenzied Bull could fetch five hundred extra points, and forty-two of them would be twenty-one thousand points more.
That’s almost the equivalent of two Commander-level Fierce Beasts.
"Alright."
Chen Fan nodded in agreement, took out his phone, and showed his account to the other party.
"So it’s Brother Li."
The man glanced at Chen Fan’s name and introduced himself, "My surname is Han, and my given name is Xu."
Chen Fan nodded.
He didn’t care what the other person’s name was.
Han Xu smiled and didn’t mind.
Very soon, over two hundred thousand points were credited to his account.
"Brother Li, please verify it. If there are any issues, we can resolve them on the spot. Once you leave the Association, it will be hard to address them."
"No problem."
Chen Fan shook his head, put his phone away, and said, "Our transaction is done. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave."
"Alright, let me escort you."
Han Xu smiled, "If your team has similar hauls in the future, we will take however many you have."
"Fine, but no need to see me out. I can leave on my own." Chen Fan declined his offer, pushed the door open, and walked out.
"Click!"
The door closed behind him with a crisp sound.
Han Xu stood in place, watching Chen Fan leave, and muttered to himself, "What a slightly aloof guy."
After speaking, he shook his head.
After leaving the Awakened Association, confirming that no one was following him, Chen Fan let out a small sigh of relief.
He had specifically chosen a large city far from Anshan City, and it seemed to have shown some effect.
Of course, if someone were determined enough to investigate his identity, they could still find out, but by that point, it wouldn’t matter.
Firstly, most of the Cultivation Techniques from the Awakened Association were already in his possession. The remaining ones could be obtained from other places, such as ancient ruins.
Once his strength grew further, and he learned the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill, he would certainly explore them.
Secondly, if someone came knocking one day, he could simply deny everything.
After all, eighty to ninety percent of the land in Yan Country was controlled by Fierce Beasts. With so many Commander-level Fierce Beasts like the Barbaric Bull King and Strong Demon Ape around, it would be reasonable to obtain them from elsewhere.
After exiting the Awakened Association, Chen Fan decided to take a stroll around the city. After all, it was a rare visit and he didn’t know when he might come again.
Walking down the bustling streets, he passed by countless people and many shopping malls, the atmosphere lively and vibrant.
"It’s exactly like ten years ago."
Chen Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
"Oh, what’s that?"
His eyes were drawn to a majestic building a few hundred meters away, which had a sign reading, "Zijin Garden Sales Office."
"Sales Office..."
Chen Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Some things remain the same no matter when - ten years ago or ten years later. The prices seemed even higher now.
He shook his head and walked a few more steps before suddenly stopping.
Maybe buying a place wouldn’t be a bad idea?
You always need a backup plan.
If the Beast Tide struck and Anshan City fell, having a property here could be an alternative.
This was a large city, after all, incomparable to small and medium-sized cities.
If the Beast Tide really did happen, buying a place here would be impossible then. It might even be impossible to get in.
Having a house here would be different.
Most office or manual workers would be lucky to make over ten thousand a month.
Of course, Martial Artists or Awakeners could earn much more. As a security guard here, the minimum requirement was an Entry Force Martial Artist, who would earn at least twenty thousand a month!
For those in the Meridian Refining Realm, working in high-end residential areas or villa communities, earning tens of thousands was not uncommon.
"Yes, we do."
She quickly answered, "We also have low-end residential areas and villas."
"Tell me about the villas."
Chen Fan said directly.
Before crossing over, his dream was to buy a villa—single-family homes offered peace and quiet.
While low-end residential areas may have fewer residents, they were still numerous.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people whispered and cast complex glances at him.
There were looks of shock, envy, and admiration.
"Of course, sir."
The woman became slightly flustered in her speech.
Even the least expensive house in the low-end residential area cost more than a high-end residential large unit, at least twenty to thirty million.
Villa prices started at one billion!
Tens of billions for some!
Higher prices were not unheard of, but most couldn’t afford them.
Even at one billion, her commission would be thirty million! Enough for a down payment on her own place.
"Sir, please come with me."
She led Chen Fan to another property model, pointing to the first few rows of villas, "These are small villas, complete with gardens, pools, garages, etc., totaling three hundred square meters at thirty-five thousand per square meter, priced at one and a half billion."
"Behind them are mid-size villas, with even more amenities, covering five hundred square meters at..."
"No need to introduce further."
Chen Fan shook his head and pointed to one of the front-row small villas, "I’ll take this one."
