The purchase was very successful. Mag used all his bargaining skills, and every strike hit the seller right at the heart. Finally, Mag bought this property in the Rodu’s city center with 1,051,200 copper coins.

“You really got yourself a bargain.” The seller walked away with a banknote with a pained expression. If he hadn’t seen that Romo Street had been going into a decline completely, and nobody had been coming at all, he wouldn’t have sold the property while making a loss of 1,000,000.

“Wow.” Fitch gave Mag a thumbs-up with admiration. He still got his commission, but he had indeed underestimated Mr. Hades. This was no noob. He was an experienced, wily old fox.

“Mr. Hades?” Fitch took his money, and was about to make his escape.

Mag looked up, and asked Fitch, “How many properties on Romo Street do you have?”New chapters are published on NoᴠelFɪre.net

“Huh?” Fitch gaped.

Within half a day, the news of a mysterious fool buying up half of Romo Street spread throughout Romo Street’s shops.

“Mr. Hades, you really have the outlook. I believe Romo Street will prosper and earn you tons of money under your brilliant operation.” Fitch looked at Mag with a glow. He had sold more properties in this half a day than in his entire career. It was a total of 100 properties. Just his commission alone was over 2,000,000 copper coins. He could quit, return home, build a house, and get a wife right now.

“I believe so too.” Mag tidied up that big stack of title deeds, and placed them in the box at the side.

Of course, he didn’t need to have so many properties to open one tavern. However, the incident of the prices of all the properties at Aden Square’s southwestern part skyrocketing after Mamy Restaurant became a raging business was still fresh in his mind. He wouldn’t be him if he didn’t buy the entire street when the prices were low now.

“Then, I wish you all the best. I will make my leave now.” Fitch bowed deeply to Mag, and then skipped away happily, feeling as joyful as a little deer.

Of course, the first thing he was going to do was to quit. This was to prevent this idiot from suddenly regretting, and coming to look for him.

“Interesting.” Mag smiled as he watched Fitch go away. Then, he turned around and closed the door.

The nearby tavern’s lady boss, Effie, removed her pipe, and said with disbelief, “I-is he that idiot who bought up half of the street?”

“Although his brain isn’t really functional, he is truly loaded… Over 100 properties. It would have cost over 100,000,000 even if they had been cheap,” the fat boss munching on sunflower seeds at the side said with envy.

“Tsk, tsk… I wonder, why did he buy so many properties? I’m really curious about that.”

All of them were having discussions, expressing their great interest in their new neighbor.

Mag didn’t stay in the tavern for too long. He was mostly discussing with the system about the tavern’s renovation. The 500 square meters big tavern didn’t need a big kitchen compared to a restaurant, and its cellar could be placed on the second floor. That layout could accommodate many customers.

“Let’s do it that way. Keep it simple and rugged so there’s an ambiance when they drink hard liquor.” After Mag ascertained the renovation style, he went out to look for a construction team.

Of course, the renovation was left to the system. However, since there were so many neighbors around him, he had to pretend to go look for a construction team.

“Hi, hello. It’s a pleasure to meet you, new neighbor.” As soon as Mag walked out, a beautiful young woman came forward smilingly, and extended her hand to him. “I am Eiffie, the lady boss of that Titan Tavern over.”

“Eiffie?” Mag threw a glance at Titan Tavern opposite—which had a giant’s renovation style—and shook the lady boss’s hand courteously. “Hello, I am Hades. I intend to open a tavern too.”

The smell of perfume and tobacco mixed together was surprisingly nice.

However, he still preferred the natural smell of young maidens’ bodies.

“Oh. You can ask me if you want to open a tavern. I have very good techniques.” Eiffie got closer, and her voice became softer. She was about to blow air into Mag’s ear.

“Alright. Let’s have a good chat whenever we are free.” Mag moved to the side to avoid it before saying his farewell and leaving.

The construction quickly entered, and removed everything from the tavern.

Then…

Then, there was nothing.

That very night, Mag moved into the tavern that was completely renovated by the system.

The main color of the tavern was brown, and it was basically decorated with natural wood. Its style was simple and rugged. There was very little separation, and there was a big liquor cabinet behind the bar.

Next to the bar was a small kitchen that was a few square meters big. It was used to make dishes to go with the drinks.

Apart from a cellar, the second floor was their living area as usual.

Mag didn’t make any changes to the property’s exterior, but he removed the original signboard and some over-the-top decorations, and put up the new signboard: Saipan Tavern!

There was no meaning. He simply felt that this name was catchy.

Saipan…

Saipan…

Right, here came the feeling.

He felt it would get really popular.

As for a refreshing name like Ayi Tavern, it was best not to give people any chances to make a connection in such a dangerous place like Rodu.

Irina sized up the completely redone tavern, surprised, and said, “It’s all done in one day?”

“I am rather talented in this aspect,” Mag said smilingly.

“Shameless!” A row of small words drifted across his mind.

“It’s rather nice. This position will be mine in the future.” Irina sat on a barstool behind the bar counter. This place was in charge of the tavern’s finances, and she could see the entire tavern from this position. This was, without a doubt, the center position.

“Ugly Duckling, you will crouch here, and be the Lucky Duck¹ without any emotions.” Amy placed Ugly Duckling on the bar counter, and nodded with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Annie was extremely interested in the utensils meant for mixology on the bar counter. She handled them carefully with curiosity in her eyes.

“Do you want to learn about mixology, Annie?” Mag asked smilingly. This set of mixology utensils was strictly for display. He was only going to sell finished alcohol. He wasn’t going to sell cocktails, nor would he perform bartending for the customers.

Annie nodded before pointing to that mixology set, and used hand gestures to signal. “I have seen bartenders on the tablet. They are very suave.”

“I see. Then, you can learn it for fun,” Mag said with a smile. He bought a set of raw ingredients and liquors for mixology from the system, and found some bartending tutorial videos for Annie to learn from.

The other children played with mud, while their children played with liquors, but there didn’t seem to be a big difference. Both were a kind of playing, and were what the children were interested in.

Mag looked at the two little ones, who couldn’t wait to try out mixing the cocktails, and reminded them, “You may play with them, but you cannot drink the finished cocktails. Of course, I can be the tester to try the taste for you. I’m still the professional in this area.”

Knock! Knock!

Right at this time, a knock came at the door.
