As the saying goes, there are four kinds of the most solid friendships between men: those who studied together, those who fought together, those who shared spoils, and those who frequented brothels together.

As for Stak and Gerald, apart from the first one, all the other three brothers were present.

They were adventurers who had teamed up and had done things like robbery. They were also regulars at the succubus shop, going there every day, always together.

In other words, if Stank himself is a human, and he is an elf who grew up with Jeral, then all four conditions would be met.

However, you can't talk about this person; if you do, they'll appear.

Just then, Jer walked in carrying a rather large bag, and immediately smiled when he saw Kong Yang.

'Thump'

He placed the bag in front of Kong Yang, and then Jer took out something that looked like a check.

"Here are 10,000 gold coins. This is a cash-out receipt. Your ancient gold coins, each originally worth more than 20,000 gold coins, have been discounted to 20,000 because of the large quantity. The total is 6,260,000 gold coins."

Everyone at the table was stunned, especially Gan Qiu, who had just met Kong Yang.

Staktan also looked at Kong Yang in disbelief. Those ancient gold coins were actually worth so much? He had found ancient gold coins before, but they were only worth a pittance.

"Hey, Jer, what's going on? How come there's so much money?"

Finally, Staktan couldn't help but ask Jer.

"The ancient gold coins that Kong Yang took out are the first of their kind to have ever appeared before, so they have huge collection and research value, which is why they are so valuable. However, those guys are really greedy. Although there are a lot of them, it is too ruthless to drive down the price to this extent."

As he said this, Jere's face was full of anger, which moved Kong Yang quite a bit.

It's likely that Jer spent the entire morning out helping him process these gold coins.

"This is already beyond my expectations, Jer, thank you."

"It's nothing, it's just a trip."

Jer sat down casually and downed Stank's drink in one gulp.

It was just a drink; Jell and Stank had long been like brothers, old friends for many years.

“Yesterday I was new here and Staktan treated me to a meal. Today I also made a small fortune. So tonight, everyone’s expenses will be on my tab.”

Kong Yang didn't mention giving Jer any compensation, because if he did, the meaning would change.

Why not just treat everyone to a meal? That would thank Jer and also strengthen the bonds between us. That's how friendship between men works. You might not know each other a second ago, but once you've been to a brothel together, you're brothers.

"Okay, then I'll order three tonight."

"No problem, three is fine, seven or eight is also fine. I can't guarantee anything else, but it's just for one night, I can afford it."

Gerald smiled immediately; clearly, Kong Yang's words pleased him greatly.

"Hey, Kong Yang, if you include me, I won't pursue what just happened."

At this moment, Staktan couldn't sit still any longer. He had bled himself out yesterday, but today he was all better and could get something for free.

"No problem, Stallone. Of course, the halfling next to him can get up too."

"Huh? Can I do it too?"

Gan Qiu was taken aback. After all, he had only just met Kong Yang, and he hadn't expected Kong Yang to invite him.

"Of course you can. You're friends with Stak and Jer, so you're my friend too. Come on over."

"Then thank you. It just so happens that I'm almost out of money, and I was planning to do some missions with Stak and Jell today to earn some extra cash before I can have some fun."

Looking at Kong Yang, Gan Qiu smiled and said that he would remember this generous and handsome man.

The four of them ate the food and drank the wine together at the food and wine pavilion, and time passed by little by little.

Kong Yang had now gotten to know Gan Qiu, and during their conversation, this seemingly unremarkable halfling revealed his lewd side.

Especially when he got together with Stak and Jell, two other perverts, the three of them were practically having a discussion.

These three guys not only enjoy browsing succubus shops in the town, but also like to go to other places to visit succubus shops with local characteristics while doing quests.

This made Kong Yang sigh once again that in this world, succubus shops had become a very normal profession.

Suddenly at that moment, Kong Yang remembered the four bear paws he had chopped off that morning. Just then, Medori had finished serving drinks to the two people at the next table and hadn't gone far.

"Medoli~"

Kong Yang called out, immediately attracting Medoli's attention.

Not only Medori, but also the three Stunks standing nearby looked over.

"What's the matter?"

Medoli glanced at the three people beside Kong Yang, her expression turning grim.

These three guys are notorious for their lust, even Ganqiu, who seems like an honest halfling.

Now that Kong Yang is hanging out with them, he's already been labeled 'lecherous' by Medori, not to mention that Kong Yang went to the succubus shop last night.

"Um, Medori, I have four bear paws here. I wonder if you could cook them for me?"

As he spoke, he took out four bloody bear paws that he had chopped off from the grizzly bear monster that morning.

"Hmm? This bear paw, could it be the paw of that crazy grizzly bear in the forest?"

"Crazy Grizzly Bear?"

"It's a huge grizzly bear monster. I heard that quite a few people have gotten into trouble with it."

"I don't know either, but I met them in the forest."

This made Medori take another look at Kong Yang. It seemed that Kong Yang was not only handsome, but also quite capable.

"Warcraft meat is difficult to cook, and even if it's cooked well, it might not taste good. Are you sure you want to make it?"

"I'll make it. If it really doesn't taste good, then forget it. I'm just curious, so I want to try it."

"Sure, but the processing fee is 100 gold coins."

"no problem."

Kong Yang readily gave 100 gold coins, after all, for Kong Yang who now had a huge sum of over six million, 100 gold coins was just a drop in the ocean.

Without saying a word, Medori took the four bear paws and turned to leave.

[P.S.: One bonus chapter still owed!]

No sooner had Medoli left than Stak and his two companions surrounded Kong Yang.

"Hey, you're not kidding, are you? You really beat the Mad Grizzly?"

Staktan couldn't help but ask, "Although the Mad Grizzly Bear isn't a particularly strong monster, it's not one that an ordinary person can defeat."

"It's me, and there's no need to pretend, is there?"

"Good lad, you're not injured at all, you're quite strong."

"It's alright. You can't go around without some skills."

That's true.

All three nodded. No matter where you are, it's hard to survive without strength.

Don't let their reputation as regulars at the succubus mansion and their seemingly carefree lifestyle fool you; they are all renowned adventurers in the town.

Stank, a warrior; Jer, a mage and archer; and Ganchou, a thief—all three of them have achieved extraordinary feats in their respective fields.

Most importantly, succubus stores are money pits; you really can't afford to go if you don't have money.

"By the way, now that we have the money, does anyone know where we can sell a house?"

"Hmm? You want to buy a house?"

Gan Qiu looked at Kong Yang in surprise. Although he had received more than six million, adventurers generally did not buy houses; most of the buyers were businessmen.

"Yes, that's because I met Staktan, Jer, and you, so I plan to stay here for a while."

"I see. What price range of house are you planning to buy?"

"That's all the money I have. That's all I have on hand."

"Hey kid, aren't you going to save any? You're going to use it all to buy a house?"

"It's just a small amount of money, it's fine."

These words immediately silenced all three of them. Those wicked rich people.

This guy doesn't even consider six million gold coins as money; just how rich is he?

Ganqiu thought for a moment. As a thief, he still had quite a few connections in the town.

"Any requirements? Location, apartment type, etc."

"I don't have any specific requirements, as long as it's close to the food and wine pavilion."

"I see. I do know of one place, right across from the food and wine pavilion. It used to be a medicine shop, but it closed down because it couldn't sell its products, and they're trying to sell it now."

What price range?

"Three million gold coins, but that's just the asking price. If we bargain, we should be able to get it for around two or three hundred thousand."

This price surprised Stak and Jer. They thought it would only cost a few hundred thousand, or at most a million gold coins. Now it seems that their understanding was too limited.

Price is not an issue.

"Okay, I'll ask for you later."

Gan Qiu readily agreed, perfectly illustrating the saying "when you're out and about, you rely on your friends."

Today, thanks to Jer, Kong Yang earned a large sum of money without doing anything. Although Jer made it sound like he lost money, the truth is that he definitely earned a lot of income for Kong Yang.

But Jer didn't mention any of this. If Kong Yang were to go by himself, he definitely wouldn't be able to exchange one gold coin for 20,000 gold coins.

In Ganqiu now, buying a house without knowing the market or having connections can easily lead to significant losses. Not only will you spend more money, but you won't even get a good one.

Every industry is complex and murky; even street vendors have their own rules and regulations, and things are not as simple as they seem.

The areas with the highest foot traffic and the areas with the highest purchasing power are all different. This also includes the competition among the vendors themselves, which involves many factors.

To put it simply, no business that can make money is simple, no matter how inconspicuous it may seem.

Soon, while they were chatting, Medori returned carrying four plates.

Four bear paws were placed in front of Kong Yang and his three companions.

"This is your bear paw. The proprietress said it tastes pretty good, although I know how it's made."

Meadowy spoke slowly, while Stak and the other two looked at the bear paw with suspicion.

Kong Yang took a bite, and to be honest, the taste was not bad, quite tasty, but not particularly delicious, which disappointed him somewhat. In his opinion, the flesh and blood of magical beasts contained a large amount of magical power, so the taste should have been much better.

"It tastes good, try it all."

Seeing that Kong Yang nodded, the three looked at each other and then began to eat.

"It's actually pretty good."

"It seems the problem isn't the monster meat, but rather that Stallant didn't cook it well last time."

"agree."

Suddenly, Stak's cooking skills became the target of criticism.

He was the one who grilled the monster meat last time, and he even said it didn't taste good. Now the case is solved; it was his grilling that was the problem.

"Handsome guy, I've finally found you."

Just as the group of people were making a ruckus, a voice rang out.

Then, all eyes in the entire food and drink pavilion focused on one person, because standing at the entrance of the food and drink pavilion was a tall, blonde, voluptuous woman, especially her breasts, which were simply horrifying.

The people eating and drinking here are mostly men, and her arrival naturally attracted the attention of all the men at once.

Kong Yang was also stunned, because the person who came was none other than Lucy, the beautiful cow girl he had an intimate encounter with the night before, a being whose needs were ten times that of an ordinary cow.

While Kong Yang was still in a daze, Lucy ran over and caught him in her arms.

Kong Yang immediately experienced a wave of 'meat bomb impact', the kind that causes extremely high damage.

This made all the men incredibly envious; they wanted the same treatment.
