Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 66 - 63: A Bet?

This question didn’t linger long in the receptionist’s mind.

Because soon, Wen Nan revealed his player account, with a bright balance displayed: 688,194 Gold Coins.

Is there really a player... who just passed a trial map and got over 680,000 Gold Coins? How was this done?

"How do I buy? Are there any procedures to go through?"

Under the scrutinizing gaze of the other party, Wen Nan asked.

He wasn’t quite sure whether buying land and property in this game involved a complex process like in real life.

If it really does...

He focused his gaze on the floating line of prompt text in front of him—

[Time remaining until the next instance opens: 04:23:56—]

The time for Wen Nan to linger in this hall was only just over four hours. If things didn’t work out, he might not be able to complete the house transfer before going to the instance, forcing his guild establishment plan to be delayed.

But fortunately, after seeing Wen Nan’s account balance, the receptionist’s attitude changed, enthusiastically replying: "No procedures needed, sir. You just need to complete identity verification and confirm payment, and your personal private domain can be handed over within five minutes! Move-in ready!"

5-minute speed housing transfer? Move-in ready? So thoughtful?

After completing identity verification under the receptionist’s guidance and making a lightning-fast payment, for the first time, Wen Nan became one of those with a home, and it’s the kind without a mortgage!

Stepping out of the small door of the public center, Wen Nan walked toward the system-designated house transfer location with anticipation.

Just as he took a step forward, there was a bang behind him of something heavy collapsing, followed by the sound of objects shattering, and then...

"Damn it! Which blind fool knocked over my shelf! My miniature model house! My two weeks of work, all in vain!"

Hearing the pig-slaughtering-like wail from inside, Wen Nan squinted his eyes and suspiciously looked at Yu Shujun, who was following beside him.

Yu Shujun shrugged and said expressionlessly, "He was careless himself, nothing to do with me, Master."

I don’t believe you.

You wanted to do it earlier, didn’t you? You’ve been holding back, waiting until we were outside to make a move, afraid that destroying the shelf in advance would affect the house transfer, right?

Despite his secret complaints, Wen Nan didn’t delve deeper. Following the navigation in the system, he quickly arrived at the unique realm he purchased.

When he saw the actual object, Wen Nan was stunned.

This place... is smaller than a bathroom in his former hospital!

Small as it is, the layout and interior decoration inside are exactly the same as the ones he saw at the public center just now.

It’s indeed a two-story duplex apartment, but it looks like both levels combined are just over three meters high. The first-floor height is 2 meters, barely usable, and the second floor is only 1.5 meters, suitable for hobbits or goblins at best.

The first floor is a service hall, with a total area of about 8㎡, and it’s divided into two rooms according to the sample layout. In a very "considerate" move, there is even an island countertop in the middle for placing tea and drinks!

Wen Nan squeezed his butt into the three-person sofa in the "large" reception hall, looking at the "miniature landscape" in front, feeling complicated.

Has he arrived in the Little People Country?

This public center, was it invested in by some opportunistic venture?

He seemed to suddenly understand why the receptionist was so eager to hand over the house...

Wen Nan, realizing belatedly that he had stayed too long in the mental hospital, had underestimated the treachery in society.

Noticing Wen Nan’s expression, Yu Shujun, standing to the side, coldly said, "If you can’t swallow this, you can return it, Master."

Wen Nan paused, instinctively asked, "I can return it?"

"Not theoretically," Yu Shujun calmly said, "but I can help you try, Master."

Wen Nan naturally knew Yu Shujun’s methods. He waved his hand, "Eh, no need."

Returning it was out of the question, he would never return it in this lifetime.

He bought this private domain not for that house above but for the guild establishment right and the teleportation point function.

As long as these two benefits are attached, he didn’t care if the house was big or small. Anyway, he was about to go to an instance in a few hours and wouldn’t stay here.

Calculating his plans, Wen Nan leaned back on the sofa and opened the system shop—

As expected, in his private domain, his skills, as well as the shop and equipment bar, were reactivated.

Opening the shop, Wen Nan was about to choose an outfit to buy when the system prompt voice sounded in his mind.

9527: [Congratulations, player! You have successfully established your exclusive guild. You can modify the guild name and other information in the system community.]

9527: [In the first ten days after the guild’s initial establishment, during the trial operation period, your established guild will be a temporary guild. During this period, the guild leader must complete the following tasks in stages to upgrade the guild to a formal guild, please be aware.]

Wen Nan was a bit confused.

So buying this private domain doesn’t equal successfully founding a guild, he still needs to complete tasks?

9527: [During the trial operation period, the guild leader tasks are divided into three stages—

1) Within 24 hours after guild establishment, the guild leader must successfully recruit at least one member, and sign a membership contract for at least 3 years;

2) Within 5 days after guild establishment, the guild leader must successfully expand the guild membership to 10 members (3-year contracts or more). If the task is achieved, the player is rewarded with a new domain (replicated one-to-one from the current private domain). The location of the domain will be the game hall randomly reached after the player completes the next instance; freewebnøvel.com

3) Within 10 days after guild establishment, the guild leader must successfully expand the guild population to 20 members (3-year contracts or more). If the task is achieved, the player is rewarded with a new domain (replicated one-to-one from the current private domain). The location of the domain will be the game hall randomly reached after the player completes the instance after next;

If any task in the three stages is not completed, the private domain will be withdrawn (no Gold Coin refunds), and the player’s right to establish a guild is permanently revoked.

If successful during the trial operation period, the guild is formally established, unlocking all basic guild rights including the teleportation point function for the player.]

This amounts to a gamble agreement. If Wen Nan completes the tasks, he gets two additional private domains for teleportation. If he can’t complete the tasks, this current domain is also taken back, and his qualification is permanently canceled.

This clause seems fair enough.

But the problem is... he has just three hours before he has to go to an instance.

Meaning he needs to recruit a veteran member immediately within these 3 hours?
