It had been quite a while since Reyhan received the Vending Machine & Exchange Building as a reward.
However, he still couldn't use the other reward, the Building Center.
Reyhan had already seen and studied how the Building Center worked, so now was the right time to use it when he had money.
"System, please open the Building Center for me," said Reyhan.
[Host, you can open it yourself. Don't rely on the System for such trivial matters... And host, you still have a debt of 5,000 Royal + interest, so don't forget to pay it back.]
The System appeared and disappeared quickly. Who knew what it was doing at all times.
"Tch, why did you run away like that? It's not like I'm going to eat you…" Reyhan complained, seeing the System still trying to hide.
"Open the Building Center."
{Building Center}
1. Hotel / House
2. Road
3. Recreation & Entertainment
4. Shopping Center
5. Recycle
6. Dock
...
"For now, the available money might be enough to buy several buildings," Reyhan muttered, looking at the housing and hotel area.
After checking the designs, sizes, and prices, Reyhan decided to buy a Bungalow.
A Bungalow wasn't too expensive, easy to maintain, and perfect for the current resort situation with few guests.
Clicking on Bungalow, a transparent panel appeared in front of Reyhan's eyes.
{Bungalow — Price: 100,000 Royal
Size: 8 x 12 meters
Facilities: 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom, small kitchen, front terrace
Description: Suitable for a comfortable residence or for renting to guests}
"Yes, five will be enough," he said, pressing the Buy button.
As before, five black cubes appeared out of thin air and immediately fell to the ground.
...
Reyhan, Rudy, and Liora stood on the southern beach of the island.
"Reyhan, why did you bring us to the beach at night?" Liora asked.
Reyhan didn't say much, only taking out five black cubes from his pocket. Sure enough, Liora immediately understood why they were here at night.
"These are Bungalows. What do you think about placing them here?" Reyhan asked, pointing to the ground in front of him.
Liora frowned. "Why not build them near our house? Isn't it a bit far if we put them here?"
"Of course I'm thinking about the future. The center of the island will be used to build a massive hotel, so small buildings like these will surely be demolished."
"Besides, wouldn't it be nice if these Bungalows faced the beach directly?" Reyhan explained. In truth, he already had a rough plan for building his dream resort.
After thinking for a moment, Liora nodded and said, "You're right. Let's do it."
Reyhan then placed the first cube on the ground and pressed the button. The black cube began to expand, just like before.
He continued with the other four cubes, and now all five were expanding together.
...
Ten minutes later, the five Bungalows—each spaced five meters apart—now stood in a row facing the beach.
The Bungalows stood tall, with clean white paint and large windows that reflected the faint silhouette of the dark sea. The thin curtains inside swayed gently in the breeze.
The three of them went inside to check the interiors.
Liora entered and looked around the bedrooms, while Reyhan went to the bathroom. Rudy, on the other hand, was rolling around on the sofa.
In the bathroom, there was a white marble sink with a mirror above it that reflected half the body.
The bathroom floor was made of smooth natural stone, cold to the touch.
To the left was a door leading to the toilet—a modern Western-style seated toilet.
A large oval bathtub big enough for two people stood in the corner, complete with a modern shower that looked strikingly out of place on this remote island.
Reyhan turned the faucet, and the sound of running water immediately filled the room.
The water was clear and warm, steam curling up into the air. He let out a sigh of relief—at least, this facility was more than enough to make him comfortable.
Terefore, he decided to take a hot bath here. After all, he usually only bathed in cold water at the old house.
Meanwhile, Liora checked the wooden closet and bed in her room. Inside, there were several clean pajama sets, thick towels, and spare blankets that felt soft to the touch.
...
And that, they gathered in the living room.
Reyhan spoke first, "Let's move here for now. I'll take the master bedroom, and Liora will take the second room. Rudy sleeps in the living room."
Liora nodded her head like a bunny, her ears bouncing from the movement, making her look even cuter.
As for Rudy, "Woof," he stuck out his tongue and nodded.
Just like that, they moved into their new home.
...
Time passed quickly—it had been several days since Krasu's group left Reyhan's island.
Now, in the Kingdom of Enelish, Krasu's group had docked at the largest port in the country, Velmora Port. Their journey had been smooth this time, without storms or pirates.
Today, Velmora Port looked as usual—busy and bustling. At a glance, there were more than a hundred large ships in the port, and no one knew how far the port stretched.
Countless workers were loading and unloading goods from ships to the docks and vice versa. Carts of various sizes carried full loads each time.
The arrival of Krasu and his group didn't cause much commotion.
After all, there were many merchant groups like Krasu in this country, especially in Velmora Port, the largest trade hub in the Kingdom of Enelish.
However, Krasu was still a wealthy merchant, so he had quite a few acquaintances here.
"Hey Krasu, how was the trip this time? Can you let me pick a few good items to buy first?" asked a chubby middle-aged man, a local merchant.
Another merchant joined in, "Hey Krasu, don't forget to stop by my shop. I'll give you a fair price for your goods."
"Krasu…"
....
"This time I'll sell them myself, so you'd better save your energy and look elsewhere," Krasu shouted over the noisy surroundings.
After entertaining the group of merchants, Krasu instructed his crew to load the goods onto a large horse-drawn wagon. It took several trips to transport everything from the ship to his warehouse.
The work was finished before nightfall. Krasu told his subordinates to head home first, planning to pay their wages tomorrow.
