Game Lord's Cultivation System

Chapter 18 Getting A House



Carrying Madam Yang tightly in his arm, Jiang Miang's group managed to attract a lot of attention from the crowd as they stared at them with a gawking expression.

"Umm, isn't it better to wake Madam Yang up?" Hong Ling suddenly asked Jiang Ming lightly as she could feel countless gazes at them.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ming's expression darkened as he merely glared at the crowd while emitting a cold aura, causing the crowd to quickly avoid staring at them.

"Hmph, a bunch of cowards," Jiang Ming sneered coldly as he continued to make sure Madam Yang was not disturbed by anyone.

Afterward, Jiang Ming tilted his head slightly and looked at Hong Ling.

"Mother is feeling a bit tired so I'm letting her rest. You don't have to concern yourself with this matter." Jiang Ming said briefly as he kept walking at a slow and steady pace.

Hong Ling nodded her head and didn't add any more suggestions as she followed Old Wang slowly to their destination.

Sometime later, Old Wang stopped in front of a large building with at least three floors as he turned around to explain.

"This is the house that the young master requested. Grand building and located in a serene place with a pool in the center for relaxation." Old Wang stroked his beard slowly as he proudly explained the interior and exterior of the building.

Jiang Ming closed his eyes slowly and used his spiritual sense around the building.

'No wonder why there is such a beautiful building and decoration yet no one was willing to buy it.' Jiang Ming exclaimed inwardly as he stared at Old Wang.

Old Wang felt his gaze and shuddered slightly. 'W-Why did I feel like I'm exposed in front of him?'

Old Wang was a bit frightened by Jiang Ming's gaze but kept his calm as he smiled awkwardly.

"Is there a problem with this building?" Old Wang asked Jiang Ming in a gentle tone.

Jiang Ming merely smiled briefly before shaking his head and said, "No, this building is perfect for us. However, what's the price for this building?"

Afterward, Jiang Ming squinted his eyes as his stare seemed to be piercing through every part of Old Wang's body.

<Ding>

<Player Jiang Ming has learned a skill, Mystic Gaze>

__

Jiang Ming was surprised to see a system notification popping up when he merely glared at Old Wang. However, his lips soon curved upward as it meant that his conjecture was right about Old Wang.

'This Old Wang was actually trying to scam my money huh.' Jiang Ming sneered inwardly as he interacted with the system without letting others know.

'Show information about Mystic Gaze,' Jiang Ming commanded and the system notification soon changed and a prompt showed up with details about Mystic Gaze.

<Mystic Gaze>

<Rank: Unknown>

<Mastery Level: 1>

<Description: Mystic Gaze, as the name explains, it's a gaze that can help the player penetrate the soul of a person's body. It can cause the person to feel frightened, nervous, losing focus in their mind.>

<Recommendation: Players can use this skill to their opponent when they least expect it, causing them to be immobilized.>

'D-Did they really have to include the recommendation?'

Jiang Ming twitched his mouth slightly because the recommendation category is only for those beginners who are clueless about what to do.

"Y-Young master?" Old Wang asked stutteringly when he saw him in a daze.

Jiang Ming snapped out of his daze and asked, "What was the price again?"

Old Wang twitched his mouth slightly and cleared his throat softly. "The price is approximately 500 million spirit stones."

And he continued, "But considering the fact that you are a filial son, I decided to cut the price in half and charge you only 250 million spirit stones."

Hong Ling held a gawking expression as she exclaimed, "Really? That's fantastic!"

In her mind, a grand building like this would have cost a lot but Old Wang was willing to cut the price straight in half for them.

Including the fact that this was in the Central District where even if you have money, it's not guaranteed that you can buy a house if you don't have a reputation nor influence.

Old Wang smiled lightly as he raised his hand and said, "This is the best I should do so no need to be grateful."

Hong Ling quickly nodded her head as she glanced at Jiang Ming for approval to complete the transaction.

However, to her surprise, Jiang Ming merely carried Madam Yang inside the building before stopping at one particular corner.

Afterward, Jiang Ming decided to use the skill that he just learned at Old Wang.

Mystic Gaze!

Jiang Ming's eye turned golden as it started glowing in a mesmerizing light and Old Wang who felt the gaze immediately stumbled backward with sweat trickling down his forehead.

Old Wang's vision soon changed from the beautiful scenery of the grand building into one that is dark and gloomy. He felt restricted in place and saw the ground start cracking open and coming out was some zombie-like human with blood seeping through their eyes.

"H-HELP!!"

Old Wang quickly screamed in horror and tried to escape but his foot seemed to be glued into the ground, completely unable to move an inch.

Old Wang continued to struggle as those zombie-like humans started creeping upward from his legs, frightening him with foams popping out of his mouth.

Swooosh!

As Old Wang fainted from the illusion, he regained his composure and realized he was standing still with Jiang Ming smiling briefly at him.

'M-Monster….' Old Wang screamed inwardly as he swallowed his salvia nervously. Based on the illusion he just experienced that is so realistic, he can deduce this is some secret technique of illusion and it came from Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming walked around calmly while glancing at Madam Yang who was sleeping soundly before asking one simple question.

"So Old Wang, how much does this house cost again?"

Old Wang cried inwardly as he hurriedly said, "For this filial young master, the price shall be 1 million spirit stones. Any less than that and I really can't sell it."
