BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6 1 Gold Coin
Walking out of Maria\'s Diner, Alex has a big smile on his face.
Even though the food was not great, at least it filled his hungry stomach.
More than anything else, thanks to this place, Alex also got an idea on how he will proceed with his dungeon!
Alex felt pumped, he said, "I should look for a real estate agency or something similar to look for a place to build my dungeon."
Saying that, Alex did not waste any time and started looking for an agency.
After asking some passer-by, Alex learned about Golden House, a well-known property seller in this town.
By the way, this town he is in is called Kupido Town.
A town known as the town of love.
Anyway, Alex immediately headed towards Golden House after he heard about it.
…
Soon, Alex is standing in front of a big white building with gold decoration almost everywhere.
"Is this the Golden House that they were talking about? It really is golden."
Saying that, Alex slowly walked inside and was greeted by a female staff.
"Hello, sir, how may I help you today?"
"Ah, I would like to look for a place suitable to turn into a restaurant."
"Is that so? Let me show you a few good places, sir." The girl said with a smile.
The staff led Alex inside the Golden House and went into an office.
"Please take a seat."
After Alex sat down, the staff brought a crystal ball from behind the table before she sat down opposite Alex.
With a smile, she said, "Before we start, let me introduce myself, my name is Kara, I hope I can be of help to you today."
Nodding, Alex said, "I am Alex, I\'m new here and will probably live here for quite some time so, please take care of me."
After the introduction, now is the time to get back to business.
"We have some properties saved inside this Photo Crystal that match with your requirements so I\'ll show them to you. If you find one that you like, just tell me and I will introduce it to you."
"Okay."
After a nod of acknowledgment from Alex, Kara touched the ball and an image suddenly appeared inside it.
It was an establishment that had a luxurious feel to it and an elegant ambiance covered the whole place.
When Alex saw it, he immediately thought of those high-class restaurants that he saw on tv before.
Because of that, Alex became interested in this property.
Looking at Kara, he said, "Can you please tell me about this one?"
Hearing his request, Kara smiled, "Okay, sir."
"This is a 80 square meter establishments that was originally built as a place for gathering by Mr. Luke, son of Mr. Kurtis, a merchant from the capital. But due to a problem within their family, he has to sell this place."
Listening to her introduction on the place, Alex only nodded lightly and didn\'t really pay attention to it.
After Kara finished talking, Alex asked, "How much is it?"
In the face of a prospective buyer, the smile on Kara\'s face grew wider.
"This property is being sold for 350 gold coins." She said,
"It might be a little expensive but I can assure you that you will get your money\'s worth if you buy this. This is because this property is located at the heart of the city which is where the nobles go to shop!"
Kara said a few more words to persuade Alex into buying.
On the other hand, when Alex heard the price, he took a glance at his inventory where his coins are placed.
10 bronze coins, 1 silver coins, 1 gold coin.
(AN: 100 bronze coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin.)
That is the total amount of money that Alex has in his pocket right now.
Seeing that pitiful amount, Alex also felt a little embarrassed.
\'I dared to ask the price for such an expensive place. I should have taken a look at my budget before I headed here.\'
Alex sighs and shakes his head at his mistake.
Recollecting his thoughts, Alex looked at Kara and said, "Let\'s forget about this kind of expensive property for now."
Hearing that, disappointment flashed through Kara\'s eyes for a second before it disappeared as if it was never there to begin with.
With the same smile as before, she said, "That\'s alright, sir. Can you please tell me about your budget?"
Rubbing his chin, Alex acted nonchalant and replied, "Since I\'m just starting out, let\'s say, 1 gold coin."
Putting on a playful smile, he said, "Give me a property worth 1 gold coin, can you do that?"
Seeing Alex\'s current appearance, Kara was stunned.
For some reason, the way Alex is acting right now gives the illusion of a rich man wanting to try out the world at the bottom.
Kara is not unfamiliar with those kinds of people.
In truth, she has already met a lot of those kinds.
Acting like a poor person just for the sake of their entertainment.
The thing that Kara likes about these types of people is that, after they finish their playing, they come back to her and give some generous tip.
Thinking back to those days, Kara remembered the days where her pocket was full and couldn\'t help but become excited.
After she recovered from her dazed state, Kara hurriedly nodded her head.
Full of enthusiasm, she said, "1 gold coin? Don\'t worry, sir, I will look for what fits your requirements!"
Without giving Alex a chance to reply, Kara stood up and started to look for new properties.
Seeing her movements, it was Alex\'s turn to get stunned.
He was speechless.
He was just trying to act nonchalant to hide his embarrassment but for some reason, Kara became a lot more enthusiastic in serving him.
Puzzled, he thought, \'Isn\'t she mad that the property I want to buy is only 1 gold coin?\'
If Alex learned that his previous behavior of acting playful and nonchalant would be misunderstood by Kara, he would probably fall into silence.
