Chapter 3518 Research on Cats and Dogs (Sixty-six)

Nowadays, there are very few people who can still have extra money to buy a house. So after Schiller called the real estate agency, the other party immediately said that he could take him to see the house now.

Schiller agreed to meet at the door of the house. He wanted to drive himself to see the environment of the surrounding neighborhoods, determine whether the road is easy to walk, whether it is traffic jam or not.

But it turns out that it is impossible to avoid traffic jams in the city center, especially the location here is very central - it is only two minutes away from the most congested turntable. Schiller was blocked in the street next to him for 20 minutes.

When he arrived at the door of the house, he saw that the agent had just arrived and seemed to be blocked in another street for half an hour.

This made Schiller a little disappointed. The house is good, but no one can stand it if it keeps blocking.

Originally, the traffic jam caused by the chaos of traffic rules was alleviated, but after Gotham people's lives improved, the number of cars also increased. Although the traffic management was good, it was still congested.

In the past, Gotham could not build a subway, but now it is under construction, but it will take at least one year before Line 1 is completed. Before that, the traffic jam will not improve.

Schiller sighed, feeling that he should not get involved in the city center. Unless he could buy a street like Harley, going to work would not be enough to cause trouble for himself.

The agent was also embarrassed by the situation, but he tried hard to introduce the house.

The house is really good. The wood is made of dark oak, and the white walls are deep and shallow, showing a simplicity and brightness different from the Victorian style, while still having a hint of British elegance.

The real objects of floor-to-ceiling colorful windows look even more amazing. The entire wall on the first floor of the front of the house is full of large floor-to-ceiling windows, but the counter is in a corner protruding on the other side, so the owner can fully appreciate the changes in the light and shadow in the dark.

The four load-bearing columns in the store are also decorated with a steep roof. The shelves used for placing items are ready-made, and they are arranged in an orderly manner. At first glance, they are carefully designed.

It is estimated that this magazine also placed a heavy bet when Gotham's economic situation just improved and was preparing to make this place a flagship store. Unfortunately, it was not good for a while and it couldn't be opened after renovation.

On the second floor, there are two offices, plus a bathroom, all with bright windows and clean windows, and the decorative style is harmonious and unified. In the future, one can be converted into a bedroom and the other can be converted into a study.

Schiller was simply too satisfied with the house. But in addition to the traffic jam, the price was also a big problem.

Even today when the real estate market collapsed, the house was sold more expensive than Schiller bought Viscount Manor, and it was not a little expensive.

If Halle hadn't bought the manor at a high price, Schiller would have never been able to afford this house.

But this is also normal. After all, there is nothing wrong with this house in all aspects, and its geographical location is still the center of the center. If this is not expensive, the global real estate market will collapse.

Many people think that big villas and manors in the United States will be very expensive, but in fact, it depends on the geographical location. Of course, the prime locations of those big cities are expensive, but most of them are relatively remote and old, and the prices are not as high as imagined.

Especially for old houses with stone structures, they have to pay a lot of taxes when trading, which is difficult to sell. The owners have to pay a lot of property taxes every year, and if they are eager to take it off, the price may be very low.

To put it bluntly, in countries where land can be traded, land is truly precious. Such a piece of golden land located in the center of a megacity can basically be called a family heirloom.

The more Schiller thought about it, the more he became more and more moved. Although he had thought about finding ways to create some incidents and find a gap, this method can only be used for non-hard land. For example, the price will not be reduced if no one dies.

Schiller was not in a hurry to trade. After seeing the house, he returned to Gotham University, while preparing lessons, while thinking about the house.

This house is affordable by Schiller, so as long as you make up your mind and you can get it directly, the rest is to solve the traffic jam problem.

Schiller thought about it and found that there was no way. Although Gotham's watch world is traffic jam, the inside world is not. He can go directly to the inside world.

He could drive from the downtown house to Gotham Magic Academy, then return to the table world, and return to Gotham University.

Thinking of Gotham Magic Academy, Schiller couldn't help but think of Shivana, who is also managing Gotham Magic Academy, who said that there are more and more graduates in the Magic Academy now, and many of them plan to stay in Gotham and build their own activity area in the inner world, as if they are in the city center.

Thinking of this, Schiller stood up from his desk. He decided to drive to take a look.

I first entered the inner world and walked around the Magic Academy. It was the same here, but there were a lot of students. Those children who were supposed to become magic apprentices and had magical talents all went to school here.

Schiller also saw Victor leading Billy toward Mrs. Upuntu’s office. Now many of these magical existences are stationed in the Magic Academy, responsible for managing and maintaining the magic defense network.

When driving in the inner world, Schiller drove all the way to the city center. There was no traffic jam here at all, because the number of students in the School of Magic, even if the number of graduates of several classes was added together, it would not reach a fraction of the world's population.

Because of this, most parts of the world are empty like a ghost town, only to be more lively near Gotham University.

The world has basically realized communism, because houses and land do not cost money, and supplies are basically unlimited. In addition to the fact that the population is indeed too small, it is also considered an ideal form of human society.

Schiller also saw some non-human things on the road, such as elves, people, and fairies. And the more you go to the city center, the more non-human things exist.

The world tree is in the center of the disc in the inner world, and the portals of Maiya and other magic planes are open there. Many alien species will come here to play.

Logically speaking, the newly opened magic space should be developed by ethnic groups immediately, but the major magic planes are also vast and sparsely populated. They are not as lacking in living space as humans. They live well in their hometowns, so there is no need to move.

Although human cities look strange, they are not suitable for them to live in. Therefore, most of them are just for sightseeing.

It was close to the city center and finally became a little popular. The houses in the turntable circle were obviously lived in, but they were different from the skyscrapers in the real world. There were small buildings after small buildings, which looked like medieval towns.

After finding a place to park, Schiller entered the nearest alley and suddenly felt like he was walking around Diagon Alley.

To be honest, it is really similar to Diagon Alley. They sell some messy magic items, but they are not so orderly. Most stores sell everything, selling human specialties - such as books, clothes, metal products, and even pistols. They also sell specialties brought by magical creatures, such as various leathers, scales and horns of creatures, and some magical materials.

Schiller walked around and found it quite strange. The coin used here is Mithril, which seems to be an alchemy product of gold and silver, but in fact it is essentially gold.

When I was walking to the corner, Schiller found that there was a currency exchange shop here and it collected US dollars.

This is not surprising. Magicians also have to live in the real world. For example, Constantine and Zatanna should come here to sell something for money so that they will not starve to death.

After looking at the price of Mithril, Schiller felt that it was fine. It was almost half of today's gold price, and its purchasing power was quite strong, at least stronger than the US dollar.

After watching it, Schiller got some inspiration.

Many of the magic materials sold here are not just magic materials, or if it is not magic to deal with it, it is not magic materials. It looks like some shiny stones or parts of unknown creatures.

Without any magical functions, it looks quite strange just to look at it. For example, the horns of a unicorn are basically not like this shape in the real world; there are also the scales of a fish and dragon, with a diameter of half a meter, shining and looking very cool.

Even if it is not mentioned in the magical world, just buying it back as a pendant will be something that many people are willing to buy.

There are also some roughly processed handicrafts brought by magical creatures, such as daggers cut out of bones, paintings woven with certain plants, etc. When they come here to travel, they will bring some such things for money.

Because things like the magic world are not as useful as raw materials, the purchase price is very low. If you convert it, you can buy them with a few dozen or even a few knifes.

After all, many magical creatures have unlimited lifespans, and their time is not valuable; the raw materials they use are everywhere, but they are not valuable. They themselves do not think they can sell at a high price, so the purchase price is naturally very low.

Schiller thinks that he can buy such gadgets and sell them in the store as Gotham's tourist souvenirs, which should be sold well.

That's right, Schiller decided to open a tourist souvenir shop, but they sold some weird things from the magic world. Decorating the store well should attract a lot of people.

Schiller didn't expect to make any big money, and he was satisfied with being able to earn the annual property tax.

But of course he couldn't look at the store here. Schiller looked at his phone and it happened that his new home didn't need a housekeeper, and his housekeeper was about to come back, so it was time to find him a new job.

But before that, he had to find Pamila to add a layer of protection to all the decorative plants and plant products in the store that might need to be purchased to prevent Merkel from taking them in one go.
