After 80% of players reached level 10, the currency exchange system was finally opened to the public. Before, because gold was limited since it could only be obtained in quests or by killing monsters, many things could not be completed freely as a result of this limitation.

For example: those who wanted to create guild buildings were limited by their finances, those who wanted to open their own business such as a restaurant were also limited because they not only had to buy or pay players to hunt special monsters but also had to pay players with chef-like professions or hire NPCs specialized in such a task.

​​

But now that the currency exchange system had started, things had changed completely and the gameplay also underwent a slight alteration. Some people who had enough capital had even gone to the trouble of paying people to line up and buy houses.

That's right; houses.

After the currency system announced its opening to the whole world and people did the necessary paperwork to get a card, many houses that were available to be bought by players became the target of all those with a lot of money and power in the real world. Although the number of houses was a few thousand, they were too few in comparison to the number of people hoping to get one, and it was well known that when demand exceeded supply, prices went up. Therefore, some lucky ones who managed to get a house first would probably be able to sell it at a much higher price in the future.

Xie Feng could still clearly remember the huge line formed by the human crowd that twisted through the streets like an oriental dragon in search of a home. However, he already had his home in the virtual world; a home that could not be paid for with money and undoubtedly the most luxurious of all homes. But this was also natural considering that the mansion that King Hu Yi had bestowed upon him was a place that had originally been built with the idea of becoming the "resting" house of the king of the city.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

As Xie Feng was lost in his memories and thoughts, two flashes of white light illuminated a few meters away, causing a smile to unconsciously creep across his face.

"Finished with your stuff?" Xie Feng asked with a fond smile as he looked at the two beauties that had appeared inside his house.

"Mm!" Gu Qianxue nodded enthusiastically, her gaze sweeping all over the place.

Seeing her act like this, Xie Feng's eyes dimmed a bit and flashed with pain that he quickly suppressed. Although Gu Qianxue never complained and was probably already used to it, her lack of the sense of sight was undoubtedly something one could not feel happy about.

Xie Feng made a mental note to try to find a way to help her regain her sense of sight. Although he had noticed that the Pearl of Light would light up slightly whenever Gu Qianxue was near him, which meant that the healing process was underway and it was a matter of time, Xie Feng was not willing to wait that long. If he could find some kind of cure that would speed up the process even more, then he would gladly do it regardless of whether he had to steal or murder to obtain it.

"Hey, Ling Long!" Xie Yao hurriedly moved forward when she saw Ling Long sitting on Xie Feng's lap.

Xie Feng looked at Ling Long and softly said, "Come on, greet her like you learned."

Ling Long looked at Xie Yao with shining eyes and nodded softly as she said, "Hello."

Xie Yao smiled beautifully and said cheerfully, "It seems that when it comes to short and simple words you have no problem. Little Ling Long really is a genius~"

Ling Long had a small smile as she enjoyed Xie Yao's caresses. After so long, she had finally lost her embarrassment at being with Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue so she no longer hid behind Xie Feng whenever they appeared.

The three humans chatted with occasional interventions from the little beauty of the dragon race, amusing each other. Xie Feng would make a joke or two every now and then which caused the laughter of the three beautiful women to echo throughout the place like soft wind bells.

[Ding!... Players: One Strike to Kill, One Slash to Kill, and One Arrow to Kill, request permission to enter your home.]

While chatting and having fun with the three beauties, a sudden announcement from the system made Xie Feng blink in confusion for a moment before finally realizing that Xiao Luo, Hu Chen, and Yue Kai had finally arrived.

Xie Feng could allow free entry and exit to his home to the people he wanted, something like administrator's permissions. Of course, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue were free to do as they pleased, but he couldn't give freedom to everyone to enter his house as they pleased, could he?

"Allow." Xie Feng quickly agreed and soon heard the sound of the entrance opening.

"Hahaha!"

"LOL... Man I really can't help but laugh every time I hear it."

Xie Feng's face turned black as he heard the laughter getting closer and closer. Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue looked at him helplessly, but it was obvious that both of them didn't know what to say about it since they knew perfectly well what the problem was.

Xie Feng looked towards the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer until finally three people appeared; these three people were, of course, his three college friends. However, the way the three of them were looking at him was clearly amused as if they were trying to hold back their laughter with all their might.

"What's so funny, em?" Xie Feng growled, annoyed. Even though he already knew the answer he still asked anyway.

"*Cough...*" Hu Chen coughed before looking at Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, greeting them both, "Two sisters-in-law, nice to see you again."

Yue Kai looked at little Ling Long and greeted enthusiastically, "Little Ling Long! Your beauty is like the sun's rays illuminating my stormy day, bringing a beautiful rainbow to point my way to happiness!"

Xie Feng looked at the two men who were clearly trying to escape his question and was about to say something but a sudden voice caused his words to stall.

"I say, elder brother Xie Feng..." Xiao Luo, the most sincere and straightforward of the three, looked at Xie Feng strangely and remarked, "You couldn't give this house a better name? What's wrong with that name? Really, 'My Love Nest'?"

Xie Yao: "..."

Gu Qianxue: "..."

Yue Kai: "..."

Hu Chen: "..."

Ling Long: "... Puuh?"

With lightning speed, Xie Feng picked up an orange that was on the table waiting to be eaten and threw it to Xiao Luo without hesitation.

Bang!

The fruit mercilessly hit the young assassin and knocked him to the floor while the poor guy was writhing all over and covering his nose. While Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue looked at him with some pity, Yue Kai and Hu Chen looked at Xiao Luo as if he was an idiot.

The first time they entered Xie Feng's mansion in the virtual world, they were shocked to the marrow of their bones when the system welcomed them and revealed the name of the house. At that moment, the three of them could not help but look at Xie Feng strangely before bursting into laughter and began to tease him mercilessly.

The laughter of his three college friends was like a fish bone stuck in Xie Feng's throat.... He, who still felt pain at the memory of his fatal mistake back then, was upset to extreme levels at the sight of them laughing and released his frustration and anger at the three of them.

The three college students, who did not know that they had provoked a wasp's nest, were savagely beaten again and again by Xie Feng; stopping their laughter and spreading their screams all over the wide garden of the mansion. Just remembering it, they still shuddered at the thought that, fortunately, in this world pain was suppressed to the limit... Otherwise, they would now find themselves in a hospital bed.

It was from that moment on that the three of them had come to the conclusion that mocking a man's dreams was taboo and they solemnly swore never to do such a thing again... At least for their own safety.

However, who would have known that Xiao Luo would directly forget about that terrifying nightmare and, the first thing he did when he arrived back at the beautiful mansion, was to tease Xie Feng mercilessly... Yue Kai and Hu Chen looked at him without any pity and instead turned away from him as if they were afraid of being hit by a wild flying orange.

"*Cough...*" Hu Chen coughed and looked at Xie Feng saying, "I see you've been well, elder brother Xie."

Xie Feng, who was patting Ling Long's black hair gently, looked at him indifferently and nodded casually.

Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue watched the scene, dumbfounded.... From their point of view, Xie Feng looked like an almighty lord and Ling Long, who was squinting comfortably enjoying her master's caresses, was like a small tame cat instead of a mighty dragon.

"Pffft! Hahaha!"

"Hehehehe~"

In the end, the two beauties couldn't help but laugh at the hilarious sight of a pitiful man crying in pain and an almighty lord petting his "tame cat".

Who would have ever thought that, the man sitting on that sofa cuddling a little beauty, was a man who actually savagely beat a True God and even had the power to defeat one?
