The surprise Aiden brought was so outrageous it almost didn't feel real. "I'll give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest." Sienna stared at the Medal of Dominion as she made her promise. "Thank you." Aiden's face brightened. This was definitely another major win. The Crownspire City was incredibly far from Leafport, and low-level players weren't even allowed to go. Finding Steven on his own would have taken forever. With Sienna's help, the impossible suddenly felt possible. Connections really were powerful. He could already picture a powerful hidden class waiting for him. It was like a perfect reward arriving just when he needed it. One quest had brought rewards far beyond expectations—first-class citizenship, property in Westhand, and a lead to unlock a hidden class. The smooth progress left him slightly stunned. "Any other questions?" Sienna asked."No. Just finalize the Westhand property deal soon." Aiden wasn't greedy. He knew when to stop. "That's simple. Coordinate with Madonna." She smiled. Madonna approached with the deed in hand. … After a quick check, the deal was settled. "That's three hundred forty residences and one hundred eighty-four shops, totaling 120 million marks." "100 million?" Aiden blinked. "Is the price a problem?" Madonna asked carefully. "This is already very fair." "No, it's not expensive at all." Before she could finish, Aiden signed the deed with a broad grin. A deal worth over 100 million marks was completed in an instant. It wasn't a small sum, but he didn't care. The price was simply too reasonable.In his previous life, even a tiny one-room home cost at least a million marks, and shops rarely went for more than eight figures. Now he had over 300 residences and nearly 200 shops. The value was massive. It was a huge profit. The moment he received the deed, every player in Grendola heard two system announcements. "Ding! Congratulations to Grendola player Nighthale for obtaining first-class citizen status in Dominion. Prestige Leaderboard unlocked." "Ding! Congratulations to Grendola player Nighthale for purchasing property. Grendola Housing System unlocked. All Grendola players gain an additional hour of daily playtime." "Huh? First-class citizen? Housing system? This game is going too far." "The whole region gets an extra hour? That's insane!" "What even is a first-class citizen? So we're second-class? Third?" "Not really. An NPC roasted me a few days ago, said I wasn't even as good as livestock." "Great. Insulted in real life is one thing, but now in-game too? What were the developers thinking?""No developers are confirmed yet. Nobody knows the game's origin." The announcements caused an uproar across Grendola. The reaction surpassed even the Leaderboard reveal. Most players just found it ridiculous. They had been struggling with slimes, scheming against shady NPCs, barely surviving, while Nighthale suddenly became a first-class citizen and a property owner. The gap was staggering. "No way he's legit. Leveling that fast and now this? He must be cheating." "When did Grendola get someone like that?" "Doesn't matter. It's good for us. Every player gets an extra hour daily. If there's a national war mode, foreign players are doomed." "True. Nighthale's contribution is significant." Many focused on the extra hour, realizing the advantage it gave Grendola. Others were skeptical. "It's not that mysterious. The game likely has a housing system organized by region. Nighthale just unlocked it first because of his level. Other regions will catch up eventually and unlock it too."
