Money Tree (1)

Ye Lang didn't pay much attention to that and continued, "What I mean is, this place will not be sold or opened to the public for the time being. Those things will only begin after I finish here!"

"Ah... how long will it take?" someone asked, seemingly impatient, captivated by the surroundings.

Ye Lang smiled and replied easily, "It won't be too long, at most three to five years..."

"Uh..." The whole audience was stunned. They didn't expect Ye Lang to say that. When would they be able to wait for such a statement? Could they still wait?

"And the minimum?" Seventh Brother knew Ye Lang's personality well and directly pointed out the key to the problem. Ye Lang had said the maximum before, so there must be a minimum.

Hearing Seventh Brother's question, everyone seemed to understand, and they all looked at Ye Lang expectantly.

"At the very least, it will take a year and a half!" Ye Lang thought for a moment and replied.

"Only a year and a half? That's not a long time at all!!"

Hearing Ye Lang say it would be a year and a half, everyone felt relieved. At that moment, they felt that a year and a half was not a long time at all; on the contrary, it was very, very short!

"Alright, everyone's had their turn to look, let's go out now. I'm sure the people outside are getting impatient waiting for us," Ye Lang said with a smile. This statement disappointed many people.

They were disappointed because they wanted to stay there a little longer, much longer, but Ye Lang was now telling them to leave, which made them somewhat unwilling.

At this moment, Seventh Brother was not disappointed. He thought this was for the best. He couldn't let these people stay any longer. The less time they stayed, the more they would itch to come here and want to get the houses. In that case, the price of the houses would become even more insane.

Therefore, Seventh Brother urged everyone, "Yes, it's getting late, let's hurry up and go out!"

"Thirteen, are people waiting outside? Is there something special about your place?" Third Brother was more concerned about this. He seemed to remember the time when Ye Lang single-handedly held off an army of over 100,000.

At that time, everyone saw the army enter Ye Lang's formation, and they were like headless flies running around aimlessly. Even though the exit was nearby, they just couldn't see it.

The situation just now seems a bit similar to that one. There were clearly people following behind, but fewer and fewer people came along, and those who got lost never caught up again.

At that time, Third Brother was certain of one thing: Ye Lang was not leading everyone in a straight line, but rather in circles. Sometimes, even when the distance was only a meter away, he would insist on going in a big circle to get there.

There's definitely something wrong here!!

After hearing his Third Brother's question, Ye Lang smiled and said, "That's right, this place is very special. You can't get in without someone leading the way! Once they come in, they'll get lost and no matter how hard they try, they'll never get out! This is one of the security measures here. Later, I'll give everyone a little tool that will guide you on how to get in. This tool is also your pass here, and not many people will have it!"

"I see, that's even better!!"

Instead of finding fault with Ye Lang's defensive measures, everyone applauded them. They were all people of status and position who desired a private space where they could be undisturbed. Ye Lang's measures provided them with just such a place.

"Not bad, Thirteen is really smart. This way, we can sell this for an even higher price!" Seventh Brother secretly calculated in his heart, his mind completely filled with gold coins.

"Alright, stick close to me now, or you'll get lost and we don't know where you'll end up!" Ye Lang clapped his hands and shouted. "Don't even think about sneaking around here, or you'll lose your right to buy and sell, and you might not even be allowed to come here again!"

Ye Lang's subsequent words immediately changed the minds of those who had originally wanted to hide here and enjoy a little longer; they didn't want to lose their chance for a moment's pleasure.

And so, Ye Lang led the crowd out, his purpose there seemingly completely concealed, making it impossible for anyone to discern what he had been doing inside.

While it might sound unbelievable that Ye Lang would go into seclusion for such a reason, it's not impossible. Ye Lang is capable of anything, and it's quite plausible that he might be researching alchemy recently.

Only Ye Lang himself and Zhen Xiaoyan knew that Ye Lang's main project was not this. These were just byproducts, completely unimportant byproducts, and places set up simply because Ye Lang wanted a good research environment.

If it weren't for the need to conceal Ye Lang's purpose, there probably wouldn't be a villa complex here. It was Zhen Xiaoyan's idea; she felt that Ye Lang's large-scale project was too terrifying, and it was best if no one knew about it, not even the Ye Clan.

It's clear that Ye Lang didn't care before. Even if others found out, he wouldn't care. He just didn't tell anyone because he felt that the research wasn't successful yet.

After learning about what Ye Lang was researching, Zhen Xiaoyan immediately understood its importance. She felt that even if it failed, it should be kept secret, otherwise Ye City might become the focus of the entire continent and could potentially trigger a war.

That's right, it's war. Ye Lang's things have a very high chance of triggering a war!

Even Little Zero could tell that if Ye Lang's plan succeeded, it would very likely change the situation on the continent!

When Ye Lang led his men out, some of them seemed to have gotten lost again in order to test Ye Lang's defensive measures. Without exception, they all appeared outside the range of Ye Lang's Alchemy Array, on the barren ground outside the forest.

"You've come out from inside. What was going on in there?"

Many people outside asked those who came out, and those inside dutifully described the scene inside. The magnificent Earthly Paradise became even more alluring and mysterious in people's descriptions, making those who had never seen it even more eager to see it.

Because of this, Haoyue Lake became a focus of everyone's attention. Everyone wanted to go in and see for themselves, but they could only look at it from the outside and could not go in.

The more this happens, the more Haoyue Lake becomes a sacred place in everyone's hearts, and the more people want to buy it at a high price. As a result, more and more people are looking for Seventh Brother, and the prices offered are getting higher and higher.
