Dimensional Sovereign

Chapter 48: Becoming a Building Owner in Gangnam (3)

Kang-jun looked at the map and asked.

"The buildings are quite far away. Why are they suspicious?”

“The ghosts and I are unable to access them. In that case, it is likely to be a sovereign’s territory.”

A sovereign affected both reality and Hwanmong, so Colt’s words weren’t wrong. Ghosts also weren’t permitted to access Kang-jun’s territory.

Colt continued.

"In case an enemy sovereign investigates, I told my subordinates to report if any suspicious ghosts comes near Lord’s area.”

"That’s good. By the way, are there no other suspicious places except for these ones?”

Colt scratched his head.

"The inferior ghosts can’t investigate seven storey or higher buildings. Therefore, we only surveyed the six storey or less buildings located nearby.”

"Six storeys?”

“Yes. If Hayun-nim goes directly then she might be able to investigate more.”

Hayun who was listening nodded.

"Then I will investigate the seven storey or higher buildings.”

Colt continued with a worried expression.

"But the buildings with more than 10 floors are impossible to approach. If there is a strong presence then you might not be able to come back.”

"A strong presence?"

“It is unknown if there is a dragon, demon or equivalent strength creature there. You should be careful."

Kang-jun nodded.

"Hayun, only investigate up to the 10 storey buildings. I will investigate the others later.”

“Yes.”

Hayun smiled.

Kang-jun headed to meet Kim Seok-cheol, the realtor on the 1st floor of the Dafeng building.

“Oh! Welcome, Boss-nim. Sit over here. It is amazing that you became the landlord.”

Kim Seok-cheol greeted Kang-jun with a smile. He was normally kind to Kang-jun, but today he was even friendlier.

Kim Seok-cheol was one of the tenants of Dafeng building.

Han Yeon-soo had informed him that Kang-jun had become the landlord.

Since the lease contract automatically came to him, the rent for the next month was deposited into Kang-jun’s account.

Was that why he became more friendly?

"I don’t know if I dropped by too late.”

“No. Please stop by at any time.”

"I came to see some advertised buildings.”

Kang-jun pointed to some buildings on the screen.

Kim Seok-cheol looked at it for a moment before replying.

"Seyoung building, Cheongdo building, Edan building! All of these are owned by one person. The total value is 30 billion won.”

“Who is it? That person.”

Kang-jun’s expression stiffened. The owners of the suspicious buildings were all the same person.

If they were a sovereign, they would be a formidable opponent.

The value of the three buildings was 30 billion.

"Yoo Seung-hwan is a great person. It is rumoured that he has over 100 billion in stocks and bonds.”

"100 billion. That is enormous.”

"But recently, it seems like he has become interested in real estate. The Seyoung building was originally owned by him, but he bought the Cheongdo and Edan buildings only a few days ago.”

‘He bought the buildings a few days ago? Both of them?’

Of course, it wasn’t strange for a person who had hundreds of billions of won to be interested in real estate.

In other words, it was too early to conclude that he was a sovereign just because he bought two buildings.

However, what if the ghosts didn’t have access to the buildings?

He was highly likely to be a sovereign.

Kim Seok-cheol continued making a fuss.

"He also seems interested in the 10 storey Wonil building.

“......!”

Rich people really were different. He was trying to buy a 10 storey building.

"He is famous for his self-management, such as no drinking, no smoking and working hard. He has also appeared on TV.”

Kang-jun nodded.

"He is definitely a great person.”

“Yes. In fact, it is said that he is wildly popular in the stocks market. He is lucky. Anyway, I don’t have any stocks. There is only real estate. Hahat! Does Boss-nim have any stocks?”

“No. I haven’t invested in any stocks yet.”

“Haha! It is like that. The best money comes from real estate.”

"Anyway, today was a good conversation. Then I will come again.”

"Yes, go take a look. Whenever you are ready to buy a building, please leave it to me.”

"Of course."

Kang-jun left the realtor’s office.

’Yoo Seung-hwan.’

A man in his 50s with more than 100 billion won.

Moreover, it was rumoured that he was thoroughly focused on self-management.

If such a person was a sovereign then he would be incomparable to Jung Kwang-hyeon.

Of course, rumours were rumours.

It was unknown if he was actually good at self-management.

However, it was certain that he had enormous funds.

That was obvious now that he was spending a lot to buy buildings.

Owning buildings was more beneficial in Hwanmong.

‘Damn! He is clearly a sovereign.’

In any case, he was a tycoon class sovereign. If possible, Kang-jun shouldn’t show up on his radar right now.

If he grasped his identity then Kang-jun might be overwhelmed.

Having money didn’t mean unconditional victory.

Kang-jun, who lived in a goshiwon for 250,000 a month, beating Jung Kwang-hyeon who had 10 billion won proved it.

Therefore, Kang-jun wasn’t afraid of Yoo Seung-hwan no matter how much money he had.

It was important to buy buildings in reality, however raising his level in Hwanmong was more significant.

He needed to become overwhelmingly strong!

Kang-jun decided to occupy all the nearby low-rise buildings after entering Hwanmong. His level would rise in the meantime.

‘I’ll have to keep watching him.’

The next evening at 10 p.m.

It was finally time to enter the world of Hwanmong.

Kang-jun fell asleep while listening to Hayun’s lullaby.

[You have entered the world of Hwanmong.]

As always, the space was both familiar and unfamiliar after entering Hwanmong.

This time was even more so.

The house on the 5th floor of the Yugang building had been greatly expanded.

It was a gorgeous interior when compared to waking up in the shoddy goshiwon.

[This is your territory.]

[Sovereign Herod’s base has been destroyed so you need to create a new base.]

[Would you like to create a base? Yes/No]

‘Yes! Create.’

Kang-jun instantly accepted.

[Stage 1 base is being constructed...]

[Stage 1 base is complete.]

’Why is it so fast?’

The base was completed in an instant.

Not only that.

[282 nodes have been received as tax for the basement area.]

[681 nodes have been received as tax for the 1st floor.]

[420 nodes have been received as tax for the 2nd floor.]

It went up to the 4th floor and there were approximately 2,000 nodes stacked.

This was the privilege of being a sovereign with his own building.

[Three barracks that have reached stage 3 have been discovered in your territory.]

[They will switch to a friendly base.]

[A research institute has been discovered in your territory.]

[It will switch to a friendly base.]

The barracks and research institute left behind were automatically owned by Jung Kwang-hyeon.

As a result, the troops available at his barracks increased to 90.

[You can build a stage 1 barrier at the entrance to Yugang building.]

[The resources consumed will be 200 nodes.]

[You can build a stage 1 workshop in the basement of the Yugang building.]

[The resources consumed will be 200 nodes and 1 Essence of Earth.]

[You can built a stage 1 rest area on the 3rd floor of the Yugang building.]

[The resources consumed will be 100 nodes and 1 Essence of Wind.]

’What?’

Numerous messages appeared.

New construction projects were possible in the territory that he owned.

“Lord! It was a really wonderful victory. Congratulations, Lord!”

The blue-haired Keirun came running. He had been waiting at the Dafeng building and came running over after Kang-jun arrived.

Kang-jun grinned.

"Welcome, Keirun. I’ve heard of the barrier and workshop, but what is a rest area?”

"A rest area is a place where everyone can relax. Lord can also relax there. If you have the resources then you should definitely make it.”

"Okay. Then I will delegate this base to you.”

"Yes, Lord. I prepared the Essence of Earth for situations like this. The workshop and rest areas will be constructed immediately. Then if we have enough resources, the barrier will be upgraded to stage three.”

Keirun continued.

“In addition, the Dafeng building has received 1,400 nodes. I also plan to raise its barrier to stage three.”

“Huhu, okay. You are doing very well. Then I will leave it to you.”

Kang-jun smiled and nodded. As he was about to leave, Keirun asked him with surprise.

"Where are you going, Lord?”

"Where do you think? I am going to fight. Take care of the matters here.”

He didn’t intend to be complacent with just two buildings.

Kang-jun was going to become stronger.

Keirun smiled.

"I understand, as expected of Lord. Please be careful. Try to only attack the low-rise buildings nearby.”

"Of course. And watch the Seyoung, Cheongdo and Edan buildings carefully."

Kang-jun told Keirun the information he discovered in reality. Keirun’s expression stiffened.

"It is very likely that Yoo Seung-hwan is a sovereign. We should be careful not to catch his attention, and to raise our strength as much as possible.”

"I will do that. Then take care.”

"Yes, Lord! Don’t worry about the bases.”

Kang-jun exited the Yugang building and heard cheering.

"Kuahaha! Lord! Have you come out?”

"Germuz, help Keirun with the bases while I’m not here.”

"Please take me. I would like to help Lord. I will be stubbornly waiting.

"I will call you if it is necessary. You should be here so that I can fight with confidence.”

"Yes, Lord. I will follow your words.”

There was nothing he could do so Germuz bowed.

It was at that moment.

“The enemy!”

“The enemy has appeared.”

The giant ratian warriors standing guard hurriedly exclaimed.

‘Enemy?’

At that moment, he saw strange things approaching the Yugang building.

They were two spherical bodies floating in the air!

They were monsters with the same shape as the kajel he faced last time.

"What? These guys? They aren’t dead?”

The spherical bodies didn’t approach Kang-jun and shouted from afar.

“Sovereign Lucan! We came to reclaim the debt."

"The debt?"

"It is the debt left behind by Herod. He promised to give us 10,000 nodes in exchange for our help.”

That was it. Kang-jun had been wondering why they suddenly appeared.

“Why are you telling me this?”

"Kukuku, it is only natural that you have to pay back the debt that Herod left behind. We want peace. We will go away if you give us the 10,000 nodes.”
