Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching nodded in agreement: "Indeed, that makes a lot of sense."

"Once I finish researching the ice magic I want, I'll join you in researching recovery magic."

Mr. Zhou reached out and wrapped an arm around Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching's shoulder: "That's great! The ice magic you're studying is just a single-element magic, which is much less complex than my Dark Vine. It shouldn't take you too long, right?"

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching nodded gently: "Yeah, it should only take a few more days. By the way, Lord Xu and the three others, I'm not sure what type of magic they're researching. We can ask in the group chat around mealtime."

Their small group was created by Mr. Zhou after hearing that Mage Fang Ka had assigned Lord Xu and the three others a task to research magic. When it was mentioned rather provocatively in the game's main group, Mr. Zhou saw it and decided to start a smaller group.

At that time, both Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching were in the Underground City, so most of their communication occurred in the small group.

However, since Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching were both busy researching their own magic at the time, their messages in the group were only brief shares of their basic experiences in the magic domain.

They never discussed what magic they were researching with Lord Xu and the three others, and similarly, Lord Xu and the three others never mentioned anything to them either.

Mr. Zhou nodded at this: "I'm sure after they see the task rewards I've mentioned in the group, they'll be really interested."

"Tonight, we'll have the first voice chat in our group, and we can discuss these things in detail."

"Grandpa Qian, you continue with your magic research. I have something I need to attend to."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching looked at Mr. Zhou, puzzled, and asked, "What is it? Can you share?"

Mr. Zhou nodded lightly: "Sure, it's no secret. I'm going to buy a house."

Upon hearing Mr. Zhou, Grandpa Qian's eyes immediately filled with envy: "Wow, I almost forgot, after completing your task, you've become quite wealthy, so buying a house makes sense."

Mr. Zhou patted Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching on the shoulder: "Once you finish your magic research, you'll be wealthy too, and you can consider buying some property of your own."

"After all, you probably learned from Mage Fang Ka that property prices here have huge potential for appreciation."

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching shook his head gently: "I'm not as extravagant as you. Once I have money, I'll first enhance my Skeleton Warrior profession before thinking about anything else."

"To be honest, while real estate is quite tempting, it's not a necessity. Building one's strength is the top priority."

"Once I have some extra money in the future, then I'll consider buying a house."

Mr. Zhou didn't try to persuade Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching any further.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and he's not a real estate agent, so there's no need to push Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching to buy a house.

Subsequently, the two of them together arrived near the third-floor Magic Crystal Vein in the underground.

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching found a spacious area to continue his magic research.

Mr. Zhou, on the other hand, approached the players who were mining.

By now, the players had been mining for several days and had accumulated quite a bit of savings.

Therefore, he planned to negotiate with them to purchase some of their savings using real-world currency.

Originally, Mr. Zhou intended to wait until mealtime to buy the currency listed on the trading platform instantly.

In his mind, before the opening of the Underground City, this game's currency was quite difficult to obtain, so the currency prices listed on the trading platform were relatively reasonable.

But now that they've entered the Underground City, the 100 players' ability to earn currency has significantly increased, so the rate of exchange can't be the same as before.

Surely this should have caused an impact, lowering the exchange rate.

However, reality gave Mr. Zhou a slap in the face.

All 100 players were well-off in reality, and they seemed intent on saving money to buy a house in the Underground City.

As a result, no one was willing to list currency on the trading platform for sale, and the exchange rate on the trading platform remained exactly the same as before, showing no signs of impact.

Moreover, not only did they not list their currency for sale, but they were actively snatching up currency on the trading platform, seemingly all having their eyes on buying a house and saving money aggressively.

This left Mr. Zhou with no chance to snag any.

Because most people chose to list and trade currency during mealtime, Mr. Zhou even once waited in advance, yet still couldn't snag any.

This left him speechless.

Back on Newbie Island, he could privately approach new players and trade currency with them in various forms, beyond just buying with real-world money.

With his various tactics, he never needed to focus on snagging currency on the listing platform while on Newbie Island.

But after coming to the Underground City, he couldn't even contact those new players.

Therefore, buying currency from them now could only be done through the listing platform.

But in reality, he couldn't snag anything on the listing platform.

It seemed that for the Underground City players to start listing currency, he'd have to wait until they've bought their houses first.

Or perhaps a new batch of players seeking to earn money would enter the Underground City.

At least for now, the currency on the trading platform was still in short supply.

So Mr. Zhou thought he could try using his silver tongue to negotiate with these seasoned players in the Underground City to see if he could get any currency from them.

He actually already had enough money in hand to buy the house.

But Mr. Zhou also wanted to fully enhance his Middle Tier Skeleton Warrior profession to reach the level of a High Tier Skeleton Warrior.

He was quite curious about how strong a high tier warrior profession could be.

With this goal in mind, he shamelessly tried to communicate with the players.

However, these players were seasoned veterans, not swayed by Mr. Zhou's tactics at all, telling him to get lost lest he interfere with their mining.

Seeing these stubborn, untouchable, house-focused veteran players, Mr. Zhou was completely speechless.

Finally, he had no choice but to give up and head towards the Royal Palace on the first underground level.

Since he couldn't earn money from these seasoned players, he decided to first buy the house he had his eye on.

He believed that among these seasoned players, many must have their eyes on the same house.

He decided to act quickly, lest it be snatched up by someone else.
