Chapter 501 - The First Step To Global Stride



Chapter 501: The First Step To Global Stride

After obtaining the new Silver Mission and requesting for Su Yang to own an island, Su Yang’s heart was completely tied to it.

That was because he felt that it was the easiest Silver Mission he could complete. Compared to how much money he had to earn and how much money he had to spend, owning an island was much easier.

If Su Yang did not have the intention to buy the island for the virtual space to use [Descent], he could have just bought another smaller island with permanent property rights to complete the mission.

However, Su Yang was not someone who would not care about his future development just to complete his missions. For example, he would try his best to choose projects that could be profitable.

Therefore, it was the same for the island purchase that time. He listed a bunch of conditions for the middleman. It had to have permanent property rights and had to be more than 3 square kilometers. Other than that, it would be best if it was near a popular holiday resort with a certain tourist value, convenient transportation with direct flights to the city near the island.

Perhaps because he had asked for too much, the middleman did not give him any recommendations previously.

However, he finally had an answer.

Su Yang and Little Deeny studied the information sent by the middleman.

“An island near the Sumatra Islands? Where is this?” asked an ignorant Su Yang.

“Master, that’s near the Indian Ocean. It covers an area of 473,000 square kilometers and is the sixth largest island in the world. It is also the largest island in Indonesia,” said Little Deeny, who was equally ignorant but had the ability to cheat.

“Oh… I see.”

Su Yang looked at the information that the middleman had sent him about the island near the Sumatra Islands. ‘The island is about 12 square kilometers in size and isn’t very far from the Sumatra Islands. I could arrive there in an hour by boat.

‘The island is covered in greenery and has a white-gold beach. There’s also a simple dock and house. A rather good private island.

‘This island used to belong to a tycoon in Indonesia. Now, that tycoon’s company has run into some problems and urgently needs funds, so they’re planning to sell the island at a low price of USD 15 millions.’

Su Yang calculated with his fingers.’That’s 100 million yuan. That’s so expensive!

‘However, looking at the location of the island and the overall environment, I suppose it’s pretty good.

‘Unfortunately, no matter how good it is, I still can’t afford it…’

Therefore, Su Yang could only bear with the pain and reject the middleman’s suggestion. Of course, the reason for his rejection was not because he was poor, but because… It was too far away from his home.

‘I’m sorry. I looked at the information on this island and felt that it was pretty good. However, it’s too far away from our country. I’ll miss my hometown easily and want to be closer to it.

The middleman didn’t really mind it and quickly replied. ‘It’s okay, Mr. Su. It’s my problem for not being able to find a suitable island for you. I’ll continue to screen it for you.’

Su Yang was someone who cared about his reputation. He was afraid that his excuse would mislead the middleman, so he texted. ‘How about you send me all the information of the islands that you think are suitable and I’ll go through it myself?’

The middleman was very direct and agreed readily. Then, he sent the information about the tens of islands he had with him to Su Yang.

‘This middleman really does trust me a lot. Isn’t he afraid that I might be a spy sent by a competitor?

‘However, on second thought, I can understand his behaviour. After all, I was recommended by Wu Feng.’

‘Wu Feng is considered a famous B-ranked celebrity in the country and has a rather honest character. Furthermore, I’m becoming more and more famous now, so anyone would be able to know my identity the moment they checked. That’s why the middleman is reacting like this.’

At that thought, Su Yang and Little Deeny started to look through the information on the islands.

‘This middleman is really doing business all over the world, ranging from North America to Oceania and the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, he’s got islands from all over the world.’

Su Yang’s personal energy was limited, but Little Deeny was a phone spirit who had 10 cores. Furthermore, she had the help of the prototype artificial intelligence. Therefore, in less than half an hour, she had gathered all the information on the islands and started to filter through them.

Su Yang did not know what kind of island he wanted, but he knew what kind of island he did not want. Those with good environments, infrastructure, freshwater resources…

That was because it was useless to him. After he used the virtual space to [Descent], the virtual space could directly reinvent the island.

Therefore, without those conditions, a cheaper and better located island would be more ideal.

It would be understandable that he wanted it to be cheap, but why did Su Yang need it to be geographically superior?

That was because… Owning an island is something to be proud of. Would spending the same amount of money to own an island in the Maldives be the same as owning an island in the Caribbean?

Under Little Deeny’s selection, an island was selected very quickly. It was a small island near the Hawaiian Islands.

The island was not small, spanning about 8 square kilometers. It was a 40-minute boat ride from the main island of the Hawaiian Islands. The island was only 20% covered by greeneries, hence most of the island was bare and empty.

There was no fresh water, no trees and no renovations on the island. Moreover, there was no dock, no villa, basically nothing for it to be livable by anyone.

‘It’s said that the owner of this island is an American tycoon. When he bought another island, the seller added this as an added bonus.

‘Recently, the economy isn’t doing well, so the tycoon is selling off his assets.

‘Hang on… Does that mean it’s an economic downturn?

‘I suppose foreign countries are living in hot water indeed!’

He had Little Deeny check the information about the island carefully and used the satellite map to check the exact location of the island. Other than some parts that did not match the information, the overall information was quite good.

The main reason was that the price was tempting, but in the Hawaiian Islands, it only cost USD 4 million!

‘It’s worth it.

‘After all, after I buy it, I’ll be considered to be a person in the world to own a holiday resort island!’

After making the decision to buy the island, Su Yang sent the information to the middleman.

The middleman replied instantly. ‘Okay, Mr. Su, please wait a moment. I’ll take a look at the island you chose.’

After that… A long 3 minutes passed.

3 minutes later, the middleman replied. ‘Mr. Su, this island is even further than the one I recommended to you before. It’s already crossed continents. Are you sure you want this?’

Su Yang now believed that the middleman was honest.

He made a voice call to the middleman and brainwashed the middleman with his [Verbal Cannon] ability. “The distance that I was referring to isn’t the actual distance, but the mental distance in my heart. Although this island is far from my country, it’s still very close to my heart…”

After a series of rants, the middleman’s head was spinning in circles thanks to Su Yang.

But at the end of the conversation, the middleman understood one thing, Su Yang really liked the island and really wanted to buy it.

‘If he wants to buy it, he’s a customer!’

Hence, the middleman was no longer bothered by Su Yang’s change in attitude. Instead, he became more enthusiastic.

The 2 agreed to watch the island through video first. If he felt good about it, they could fly there and watch it on the spot.

Of course, Su Yang had to pay for all those expenses beforehand. Moreover, if Su Yang did not buy the island in the end, the money would not be refunded. However, once Su Yang confirmed his purchase, the money would be deducted from the middleman’s fees.

Overall, the middleman’s attitude and quality towards service were not bad.

In the afternoon, Su Yang received a WeChat notification and added the contact attached to it as a friend.

The new WeChat friend soon sent some videos. They were all recorded videos about the situation on the island. Some were about the situation of the land, some were about the water quality and some were taken from the air.

After Su Yang read it, he did not feel anything because… It was too ugly.

There were very few plants on the island and it looked bare. Furthermore, there was only seawater and a beach, hence there was nothing much to admire.

However, Su Yang was interested in that particular island because… It was cheap!

That afternoon, Su Yang and the middleman decided to visit the island!

Due to the need to book the air tickets, Su Yang and the middleman agreed to take the plane to Hawaii on Sunday to visit the island.

Actually, the honest middleman wanted Su Yang to reconsider because the island was very ordinary. Not only was there nothing on it, it was too difficult to build on it. Moreover, It was very possible that the cost of building up the island was going to be much more expensive than purchasing the island!

Furthermore, it was too late to book a flight to Hawaii, hence the price of the flight ticket would be expensive. Therefore, it would be best to postpone the trip by 1 or 2 months and book a flight in advance. That way, not only would the flight ticket be cheap, but Su Yang would also have plenty of time to consider.

As for whether the island would be bought by someone else because of the delay, the middleman made a guarantee of 99% that it would not happen.

That was because the volume of transactions on islands was very small and was not that efficient. Even if it was delayed for a few months, it would not be a problem. Furthermore… that particular island was in too poor conditions.

However, he was not Su Yang and did not know Su Yang’s plan…

Su Yang did not care about the money for the plane ticket to Haweir since… He never intended to spend money to go to Hawaii.

However, that time, it was not because Su Yang was being stingy, but because Su Yang did not have a passport or visa, so he could not go even if he wanted to!

After all, he had only been rich for less than half a year, so he did not even have time to do some things.

‘How am I supposed to go without a passport and visa?’

At that thought, Su Yang came up with a good idea.

‘After the middleman boards the plane, I’ll use [Hands Of Fate] to transfer both Little Deeny and myself to a hidden space in the plane.

‘Then, I could crawl into Little Deeny’s virtual space, leaving her outside.

‘Ever since Little Deeny gained the ability to camouflage after becoming +4, she’s able to “blend” with the surface of the objects she comes into contact with. That way, I’ll be able to accomplish the perfect “smuggle”!

‘I’m an absolute genius!

‘Moreover, my plan is very detailed as well. The moment I arrived in Hawaii, I could throw down a [Sentry Ward] on top of Hawaii. That way, I could travel there anytime in the future.’

At that thought, Su Yang decided to develop Hawaii into his second [Warp Point].

When he thought about how he was going to establish his plans overseas, he felt that his [Global Stride] plan would be realized very soon!

Under Su Yang’s insistence, the middleman finally agreed to visit Hawaii on Sunday. Su Yang’s plan to own an island was finally on track…
