Agreement (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"This might actually work."

The server seriously considered it. If Gu Xi was truly willing to say that the location was in the Damingwei District, he believed many people would be willing to help Gu Xi complete this transaction.

After all, the problem with this ruin had been a point of contention for many years, but no one could convince anyone else.

If the owner of this ruin were to succeed in his calculations and claim the land was in the Camden District, every homeowner nearby would make the same demand.

But if it wasn't, the ruin was conveniently located at the end of Greenwich Avenue, and Greenwich Avenue had to end somewhere.

So, the matter had been argued about endlessly, and the server was aware of this.

If Gu Xi could really exchange for this ruin, it would solve a problem between the Damingwei District and the Camden District. He believed no one would object to that.

"If you really want this place, I can help you get it. Actually, apart from not belonging to the Camden District, it's no different from the Camden District.

Look, the other houses require a few steps to reach the Camden District, but this location, you don't even need to take a step out the door, and you're in the Camden District.

If it weren't for some people's ideas, this place would have been sold long ago.

If I had the authority, I wouldn't buy it and then try to have the land designated as part of the Camden District. This deal can definitely be done."

"Okay, I can write a letter of authorization now."

Gu Xi said decisively. If he didn't seize such a good location, would he rather look for some useless place later?

The server was happy to hear that. "Then sign another authorization agreement, and let me... let our Fate Compass Guild help handle this matter. The time frame, let's say three days. After three days, this land will be yours."

Gu Xi nodded. Three days wasn't too long, and he had other things to do in Victoria City. He could use these three days to take care of those matters.

In three days, he expected to have the ruin in hand. Then he could set up the anchor point there, exit the game, and go back to report his profession.

While Gu Xi was thinking about this, the server had already written out two copies of the authorization letter and agreement.

Gu Xi took a close look and found that it was written exactly as he had said, and there were no other incomprehensible patterns or anything.

Only then did Gu Xi sign the agreement and take out the Land Purchase Order.

The server took the Land Purchase Order and glanced at it, nodding affirmatively.

"That's right, this is one of the first Land Purchase Orders. Although so many years have passed, the legal effect is still there. Don't worry, I can definitely get everything done within three days."

"Alright." Gu Xi smiled happily. Then, just as he was about to mention where he would be staying for the next three days, he realized he couldn't say where he was going.

Seeing Gu Xi's troubled expression, the server smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no one we can't find in Victoria City. I'll come find you in three days."

Seeing the server's confident demeanor, Gu Xi nodded.

After the server walked away, Gu Xi looked back at Greenwich Avenue and turned to head in another direction.

Gu Xi planned to find a place to stay first. It was getting dark, and last time, Gu Xi had run into Victoria's graveyard at night and been knocked out.

Gu Xi didn't want to be caught again.

He didn't want to see Victoria City at night again.

He'd rather stay in an empty tavern or hotel and look at the scenery than go out and court death in the middle of the night.

As for his plan, it didn't matter if he waited until tomorrow.

Anyway, the corpses had been transported away for quite some time, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference.

After leaving Northumberland Avenue, Gu Xi found that he seemed to have come to the Isis River again.

However, he was now on the other side of the Isis River, which was slightly different from where he had fallen into the water before.

From here, he could clearly see Victoria Bridge over the Isis River.

Gu Xi planned to find a riverside tavern to stay in. If there was a bed available, he would find a place to sleep. If there wasn't, he would sit, drink, and eat something to take care of his stomach.

He had been starving for too long, and now he couldn't even feel his stomach moving.

After going back this time, it would take him three to five months to make up for the weight he had lost.

But just as Gu Xi looked up to find a tavern, he suddenly noticed that a head was hanging under Victoria Bridge.

He didn't know how long the head had been hanging there, or what kind of treatment it had undergone, but the entire head had turned black. However, people could still clearly see his features and angry expression.

Seeing this, Gu Xi couldn't help but sigh. Who is this? To be suppressed under Britain's bridge, he must have done many things against Britain.

Following the direction of the head hanging from the bridgehead, Gu Xi spotted a tavern that looked decent enough.

The main entrance of this tavern was directly facing the head hanging from the bridgehead.

Most people might not be able to stand such a sight, but there were always some abnormal individuals.

So the tavern's business was quite good. It was currently evening, and there were already many people sitting outside the tavern drinking.

Gu Xi even noticed that some of these drinkers would secretly raise their glasses to toast the head hanging under the bridge.

This situation made Gu Xi understand one thing: this tavern had someone backing it.

In an environment like Victoria City, that meant safety.

Gu Xi was extremely wary of the various Thieves, spies, or other nocturnal professionals in Victoria City.

He didn't want to stir up any more trouble in his final days.

So Gu Xi walked generously towards the tavern, pushed open the tavern door, and flicked a Shilling coin onto the bar.

"I'm looking for a place to stay for the night, do you have anything suitable?"

"A third-class room is one Shilling a night. If you add nine pence, you'll get a breakfast in the morning. If you add another Shilling, a beautiful girl will sneak into your room at midnight and leave on her own at dawn."

"Just give me a quiet room."

Gu Xi glanced at the maids weaving through the first floor of the tavern, and then made a decisive decision.

"Alright, your room is on the second floor, the third room after you go upstairs."

The bartender didn't try to persuade Gu Xi any further, but just raised his hand and tossed over a key.

Gu Xi caught the key and then said, "Do you have any wine and jerky? If so, please prepare some for me, and I'll settle the bill later."

"Sure, I'll have it sent up to you in a bit."

The bartender looked around, winked at Gu Xi, and gave him an understanding look.
