After many days, the imperial side began to discuss whether they should forcibly requisition it. However, doing so would have significant repercussions, potentially even causing imperial unrest.
Private property was highly protected on this continent. Anyone who broke this rule would face the unified opposition of all nobles and wealthy individuals on the continent. Even the three great empires could not bear such consequences.
Helpless, the imperial side had no choice but to converse with the original owner, hoping to get some clues. Amidst this, a clue that wasn't quite a clue appeared before everyone.
At that time, after understanding the situation, the original owner said something that was an evaluation of the new owner—
"I don't know who this person is, but I feel like he's a super sucker. It was just a ruined mountain... This sucker bought it at such a high price, and he never bothered me about it. A person like that is either an idiot or a typical prodigal son!"
Indeed, if it were a normal person, they wouldn't buy something they knew had problems. Even if they did buy it, they would have negotiated the price down to an extremely low figure.
Yet, this person bought it at an extremely high price. Did this mean he knew its value? But even if he knew the value, under those circumstances, he would have acquired it at a low price!
Definitely a prodigal son, and not just an ordinary one!!
Seventh Brother, who received this report, frowned and said with some annoyance, "Yeah, even if he knew the value inside, he shouldn't have paid such a high price, unless... Wait, what did you say? Prodigal son? Could it be that that prodigal son, Thirteen, bought it?"
Recalling Ye Lang's god-like prodigal spending, Seventh Brother immediately rushed home to find the legendary prodigal son.
This was no mere stroke of luck. Seventh Brother was confident that it was Ye Lang with an eighty percent certainty. History had shown that whenever Ye Lang spent prodigally, a few items would always result in him making a huge profit.
Take a recent incident, for example. Three years ago, he bought a large plot of land and houses in a slum area and even built new houses for the slum dwellers. It caused quite a stir at the time. Although the stated reason was to do good deeds, many people knew that he had been bored for a long time and wanted to spend prodigally on a grand scale. Buying land, houses, and building new ones – that was certainly prodigal.
At that time, he spent hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins and then said, "So comfortable!"
This incident wasn't over. Two months ago, the imperial capital announced a new plan to establish a new noble district. Coincidentally, it was located on the slum land he had bought three years ago. As a result, the land's value skyrocketed, and many people were eager to buy it from him.
This was just one instance. There were many other inexplicable events that made people say that Ye Lang was favored by the goddess of fortune.
"Oh, found it. Let's see if this is it." Ye Lang found a contract and casually handed it to Seventh Brother. "I bought this about five or six years ago, when Tiger Girl was still..."
Seventh Brother didn't hear what Ye Lang was saying. He just excitedly said, "That's right, it's this one! Thirteen, I'll help you get the highest price. I'm leaving now."
With that, Seventh Brother vanished like lightning and ran towards his workplace, believing that others were anxiously waiting there.
"..."
Seriously, I wanted to spend prodigally, why do these situations always happen? Now I'm going to make a huge profit again... Sigh...
Ye Lang sighed helplessly. However, his thought was enough to make people want to punch him. Others racked their brains and used all their efforts to get such an opportunity, and even then, success wasn't guaranteed. Yet, he obtained it time and time again.
Of course, he had also succeeded in his prodigal spending a considerable number of times, but overall, he was still unsuccessful. Therefore, his wealth kept increasing, so much so that he himself didn't know how much he had.
Moreover, this was only considering the current situation. Similar events might happen in the future, and magical turnarounds might appear in his asset list.
Don't forget, this incident just happened five or six years ago. Many things only occurred several years later. And he never forgot to spend prodigally every single day, so the outcome became unexpectedly interesting.
Perhaps, this was what the saying among millionaires meant: it was destiny!
"Forget it, I won't bother with it. I'll mix these materials first. These are rare materials, I need to try them..." Ye Lang no longer paid attention to these matters. If it was destiny, then there was no need to worry about it. As it was said to be destiny, it didn't matter whether he paid attention or not.
And if it wasn't, then that would be what Ye Lang wanted to see the most. Don't forget, he was doing this for prodigal spending.
"Little brother, it's rare for you to have a day off, and the weather is so nice. Why are you cooped up at home fiddling with these things? Aren't you going out to spend prodigally?" Ye Lanyu arrived grandly, directly entering Ye Lang's small secret room, and said to Ye Lang, who was still fiddling with materials.
"No, I'm not in the mood! I failed again today..." Ye Lang replied somewhat dejectedly.
"Failed what? Did you make another fortune? How much did you make this time?" Ye Lanyu thought for a moment and quickly understood. She was well aware of Ye Lang's affairs and naturally understood what he was dejected about.
"I don't know yet. I'll know when Seventh Brother gets back," Ye Lang replied casually.
Ye Lanyu sat aside, watched Ye Lang for a while, and then asked seriously, "Little brother, I have a question for you. You have to answer honestly."
"What question?" Ye Lang replied curiously.
"Are you sure you're not investing to make money?" This was too suspicious. How could someone's prodigal spending be more profitable than others' business ventures?
"...Of course not. Would I be so bored? Besides, I don't always make money; most of the time, I lose."
"You're not bored, yet you rack your brains to spend prodigally and act like a prodigal son!"
"This is my lifelong ambition!"
"Ambition your head! Who makes that their ambition!"
"Isn't that me?"
"..."
