Chapter 695: Virtualization Arrays (1/2)

Gravis had already informed himself about some good places. After all, not just any apartment would do. Some Immortals were willing to buy a tiny closet just to get a Residency Ring, but Gravis had other plans. He wanted a place with a lot of space, beauty, and methods to increase his comprehension of Laws.

He didn't want to share rooms with anyone else. Sure, Orthar and Yersi would live with him, but they wouldn't all want to cultivate in the same room. After all, everyone was interested in different Laws. Taking turns in comprehending Laws was insanely wasteful in Gravis' mind.

Because of that, around 70% of the apartment complexes fell through. Most people were only interested in the Residency Ring that allowed them to visit the stores. This city had everything that one could buy, and the good shops only allowed people inside that had a Residency Ring.

Due to that, theoretically, there were far, far more inhabitants than one would think. In actuality, around 90% of the official inhabitants of the city weren't even in the city. They were outside, cultivating. These people only paid rent for a tiny closet apartment to have access to the city's shops.

Of course, there were also a ton of people that actually lived in this city, and when there's a need, there's a business opportunity.

The last 30% of apartment complexes were catered to Immortals who lived and cultivated in the city.

What about Gods?

Gods wouldn't live in some apartments. They would either straight up buy their own building or live somewhere else. This city had a ton of stuff for Immortals, but when one became a God, it was far harder to find the stuff they needed. These advanced things could only be found outside the city, in powerful Sects.

Gravis went over to a building he had already scouted out. From the outside, it looked like a lovely one-family home, but inside, there were thousands of kilometers of cultivation land and apartments.

This was an apartment complex catered towards actually cultivating Immortals and Immortal Kings. One could say that this complex was for the very rich Immortals and poor Immortal Kings.

The three of them entered the apartment complex without an issue. Surprisingly, this apartment complex also required someone to have a Residency Ring to enter. Well, that was to be expected, actually. If someone didn't even have the money to rent a closet, they wouldn't have the money to rent these luxurious apartments.

After entering, the three of them found themselves in a small office. In order to conserve the amount of space the apartment complex had, the main hall was only comprised of a small office. After all, the inhabitants directly teleported to their own apartments and wouldn't go through here.

Behind a small desk in the middle of the office, the three of them could see a beautiful woman dressed in a white blouse and a black pencil skirt.

”Welcome!” she said with a smile as she stood up from her desk. After walking around it, she slightly bowed in front of the three of them politely. ”How can I help you?” she asked.

”Hello,” Gravis said. ”We would like to rent an apartment for the three of us. We want three separate cultivation rooms and a beautiful, central landscape where we can meet if we want.”

The smile of the woman widened. ”That's not a problem. We have plenty of these kinds of apartments,” she said. ”Though, there is one small procedure we have to take care of first.”

”Money?” Gravis asked.

The woman nodded shyly. ”Yes. Please display at least 50,000 Immortal Stones to prove that you have the funds. I trust that you have the funds, but my boss would kill me if I skipped this step.”

Gravis chuckled a bit. ”No problem,” he said.

Then, he summoned the 300,000 Immortal Stones they could theoretically spend without endangering the Gravitas. Thanks to the Law of Space, the entire room wasn't filled to the brim with the Immortal Stones.

”Thank you,” the woman said in a cheerful tone. ”Well then, when would you like to start renting? If you plan to rent an apartment at a later date, you have more options to choose from.”

”We want to start renting in about 95 to 99 years,” Gravis said. ”We just recently opened our own shop, and we're making a lot of money. Of course, we will be in our shop for the entire duration of the lease, which is why we are only searching for an apartment in around 95 to 99 years.”

The woman nodded a couple of times. ”We can definitely work with that,” she said. ”How long do you plan to rent the apartment?”

”We don't know yet,” Gravis said. ”We don't know the prices for tools to assist in Law Comprehension yet. Most of our money will probably go to that, but we will probably stay here for several centuries.”

”That's good to know,” she said. ”This helps me to find a more fitting apartment. Some of our apartments have built-in areas for specific Laws, which would be a more cost-efficient way of comprehending Laws. After all, not everyone has the funds to cultivate with the assistance of Riddle Tomes or Virtualization Arrays.”

”I take it you wish to rent an apartment with a centralized landscape and three separate areas with Virtualization Arrays enabled?” she asked.
