The Queen Villainess Eavesdrops on My Heart and Won’t Let Me Slack Off

Chapter 179: Selling Real Estates in Another World   
The speech of the Queen of Eternal Night has caused a strong reaction through out the entire empire.   
Defeat was already difficult to bare. The enormous losses and casualties brought uncontrollable grief to everyone.   
Fortunately, at this moment, it was still possible to shift the blame onto Duncan and Sophie to relieve the pressure, providing a violent outlet.   
As a result, the Queen of Eternal night, who was loved by everyone, came forward and said that the responsibility for the defeat didn't solely rest on those two scapegoats, but rather on everyone who had a hand in pushing for the war, even the Empress herself must reflect...   
Immediately, with this last outlet gone, did everyone have to reflect on themselves?   
This is even more annoying!   
Even when an avalanche occurs, not every snowflake dares to brave the unknown. It is always difficult and painful for a person to admit their mistakes.   
In this world, many people would rather talk nonsense than simply say "I don't know."   
Fortunately, although rational and calm individuals are few and far between, they still exist.   
Previously, the Empire had been running smoothly for many years, but there was certainly a nationwide sense of development.   
Now, when they fell from power under the Orc Kingdom, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over them, forcing everyone to reconsider the meaning of the war.   
War is always a serious matter and is the last resort to protect the people and uphold the will of the state.   
It is not a kind of entertainment show that people want to watch when they are bored with life.   
The military may allow it, but the enemy doesn't!   
Although the Empire is powerful, there is still a possibility of failure in the war. As they were always victorious in the past, people had a subconscious tendencies to regard the war as a game.   
The previous arrogant attitude of the Empire's people was to start a war directly when they were undecided and even dared to call out the gods directly.   
The Night Queen agreed to Roger's defeat plan, also seeing that such spreading sentiment would continue to expand, and the Empire would inevitably face more defeats one day.   
Not all enemies are like the rotten fish and shrimp in the Night World, they will eventually face the Seven Gods, and there will be no chance to save their strength to fight again.   
Failure is shameful, and reflection can also cause resentment, but the Empire has no choice.   
The significance of this failure for the empire is far deeper than that of victory;   
Firstly, it alleviated the high level of domestic combativeness, and the people of the empire should calm down and rethink their battle strategies, recognizing that other countries are constantly progressing, and value each opponent accordingly.   
Secondly, it misled the judgment of other major powers regarding the empire's strength, and bought more development time for the empire;   
Lastly, it elevated the Terran Kingdom's global status.   
Successfully resisting the invasion of the Green Vines Empire, Tasika will become the first line of defense against Green Vines for the major powers and is willing to support the further development of the orcs.   
The follow-up of the totem bracelet can also be shipped more smoothly, the number of users grows rapidly, and quickly approaches the small goal of one hundred million online in the virtual space.   
...   
...   
After the battle of a settlement, the Green Vines Empire maintained protests and condemnation against the Terran Kingdom but didn't continue the war. Instead, they imposed economic sanctions on the orcs and forcibly blocked many trade channels.   
Then, they earned even more excess profits through smuggling (nodding dog).   
However, in the eyes of the ignorant foreign powers, after this battle, the Terra Kingdom proved itself, as did Tasika.   
The orcs have the ability to hold the Kambusak Desert and continue to trade with foreign powers.   
Tasika also publicly announced that the enemity between orcs and the empire will never end, thereby gaining more support from foreign powers.   
Everyone's thoughts were the same: wouldn't it be great to only kill orcs and block the expansion of the Green Vines Empire's path!   
Tasika also proposed the construction of the second phase of the Dafia Canal.   
The second phase of the canal has been built to the heart of the Kambusak Desert, and the shamans have also come up with new technologies to improve the new plants to more efficiently prevent wind and sand, control desertification, increase more arable land, and change the regional climate.   
At the same time, Tasika announced that they would emulate the Paradise Mirage and establish a "free city" open to all races, becoming the cultural center, entertainment center, and amusement center of the entire desert, welcoming tourists from all over the world to enjoy it through their geographical advantages.   
Previously, the orc kingdom was made up of many tribes with constant conflicts, but now they are integrated into a new country, and their location is indeed advantageous.   
To the east is the Green Vines Empire; to the west are other powerful races, and their location is almost exactly in the centre of the main continent of the Eternal Night World.   
The location chosen by the Free City, departing from the core areas of the world's major countries, is equally suitable as an open, communicative city and a holiday destination for many people.   
Of course, the position of the orc kingdom makes it the most vulnerable to attack if there is a war.   
This is also why the orcs have never been able to unite. In addition to the historical rivalries between the tribes, there are also powerful neighboring nations that don't want these tribes to unite. They secretly created new conflicts between the tribes.   
It is obvious to many great powers that allowing the orc tribes to occupy the chaotic buffer zone can reduce the threat of the Green Vines Empire.   
Furthermore, the development value of the desert is low, which is why the orc kingdom was allowed to grow in the past.   
Now that the orc kingdom has really been established, it has exceeded the expectations of the great powers. However, Tasika has shown enough hatred for the Green Vines Empire, which is useful for the great powers.   
Previously, it was the Green Vines Empire that passively bound the great powers to their chariot. Now, the great powers are trying hard to persuade the Terra Kingdom to never forget their hatred towards the Green Vines Empire.   
In order to achieve this goal, the great powers have begun to help the Terra Kingdom develop and grow in exchange for their motivation to take action against the empire.   
The great powers believed that they were implementing the Marshall Plan for the parallel world. However, considering Tasika's true nature, this wave has completely fallen into Roger's scheme.   
As a result, the Terra Kingdom soon announced that the construction of both the Dafiah Canal Phase Two project and the desert management project will commence simultaneously. The profit from the totem bracelet will ensure the progress of the project.   
The grand construction marks the ambitions of the orc queen, and the planning of the Free City unfolds. It is also extremely tempting for the great powers.   
At this moment, the most prosperous and modern city in the Eternal Night World is known as the mysterious capital.   
However, it is the capital of the Green Vines Empire, and high officials and leaders of the great powers who go there for consumption are not tourists but rather have fallen into a trap.   
Therefore, a city that offers no less luxury than the mysterious capital but is also open enough, has become a necessity for wealthy and influential people to enjoy.   
How can they be satisfied living in a virtual world and enjoying services with the poor and destitute people?   
Firstly, the prices there are too cheap to match the status of the nobles.   
Thus, the Free City of Terra, in response to the demands of the great powers, comes into being.   
There are frictions and even deep-seated enmity between each other, but the newly emerging country of Terra has no historical baggage from the past...   
The more the great powers think about it, the more they feel that the plan of this free city is excellent, and the future is full of development opportunities. It would be a pity not to participate now.   
Therefore, the great powers began to approach Tasika, expressing their willingness to invest in the Free City, and work together to build Terra.   
In exchange, they hope to have some control over the Free City.   
This free city and desert greening plan were originally the bait that Tasika and Roger used to attract foreign investment. There was no reason to refuse.   
So the investment and competition surrounding the shares of the Free City kicked off.   
Under an unprecedented propaganda offensive, the Terra Kingdom once again became the focus of the world.   
The only political force that has won against the Green Vines Empire so far, with unlimited prospects for construction projects and advanced technology.   
At the same time, Tasika has the ability and a very welcoming attitude towards foreign capital investment.   
Not only the great powers, but also large business organizations with long-term investment needs, have seen the potential of the Terra Kingdom.   
Thus began a scene of capital frenzy never seen before in this world.   
Even before the Free City had actual effects and while the area was still a desert, real estate had already begun to be sold.   
Tasika divided the tradable land of the Free City into 100 parts and openly sold ownership of those plots to neighbouring countries and powerful business organizations.   
No immediate payment was necessary; only a 30% down payment was required, with installments to be made over the next thirty years at an interest rate lower than most loans of this time.   
The great powers were not naive. Upon calculation, they realized that with only 100 dollars, they could in fact spend as if they had 300 dollars.   
Ignorant of the concept of leverage, the great powers suddenly felt they had made a very profitable deal!   
With thirty years of low-interest loans, they easily made payments leading them to acquire the perfectly rounded land of this beautiful city of freedom, which was essentially free, was it not?   
When faced with the war, Tasika didn't use the great powers' reinforcements as cannon fodder, which was a testament to her courage and control, earning her an excellent reputation.   
Certainly, the plans she is currently promoting are very reliable!   
The great powers had already been prepared to invest in the Kingdom of Terra, and with such a preferential investment policy, they quickly submitted numerous applications for subscription.   
Finally, all 100 lot of land put forth by the city of freedom were sold.   
And the great powers who still had extra money expressed an interest in buying even more.   
Those greedy individuals, who are fickle in their dealings with the stock market, all have their eyes ablaze with greed.   
In response to this request, Roger didn't hesitate to use his god-level design skills and added a second phase satellite to the Free City.   
In this public auction, the great powers and major trading companies fiercely compete, and the land in phase two is sold out again!   
After calculating the average price per square meter, the satellite city's area costs 15% higher than the core city's area...   
But those who bought it all feel that they have made a profit. In this free city, it will rise to the sky sooner or later!   
When it comes to investment in real estate, Changshengzhong has quite a bit of experience.   
Moreover, with the exploitation reaching its maximum one by one, accumulating for thousands of years, while there might not be much in the national treasury, the gold coins are truly abundant.   
For Tasika, these two trades can truly be laughing and waking up from a dream.   
Even if it is only a 30% advance payment, the cumulative amount is a very considerable figure, which can now promote the overall governance of the Kambu Sacks Desert.   
Such a huge amount of work is no longer affordable for orcs, while business associations gather here, making it quite convenient to mobilize labor and various materials.   
Gradually, trade transportation routes are formed one by one, and massive materials converge here. The once barren desert land seems to have the potential to become the center of the entire forever night world overnight.   
Here, there are alchemical products newly produced by the Green Vine Empire, traditional skills from elves, specialties from underground races, and fresh slaves from other planes...   
Tasika, who had been "enlightened", intended to turn Terra into a free port. Policies and tax measures that favoured commercial activities were issued one by one, making it increasingly lively here.   
The planned Free City is the core of the ambition to build a free port.   
Tasika's growth was not insignificant.   
The construction of the Free City was open for investments, Tasika provided 5% of the advance payment, and the remaining funds were provided by the construction team for construction.   
Would the queen run away? It's just a matter of paying the money earlier or later. But everyone has confidence in Tasika.   
After the real estate construction started, Tasika could use the projects as collateral to borrow more funds from courageous business associations.   
Then, she used the borrowed money to launch more projects, recruit construction teams, and used 5% of the advance payment to ask them to provide funds for construction.   
As long as she earned more and more, business associations would always agree in the hope to make money.   
With new projects, more cash can be mortgaged.   
Tasika's money rapidly inflated similar to blowing up a balloon.   
The construction of four phases is still needed for the Dafia Canal, and under the capital operation of Tasika, the construction of four phases is being carried out simultaneously.   
The Kambusack Desert is filled with Druids who plant large trees everywhere.   
The once barren and desolate desert could turn into a green mountain and water paradise in less than two years.   
At the same time, with limited capital, the Terra Kingdom is actually in control of wealth that is increasing exponentially and by tens of times.   
This is a common financial leverage method on Earth, and the real estate developers of the Rabbit family are especially insane.   
A company may actually have only a few billion in cash, but through various means such as loans, mortgages, pre-sales, and fundraising, it may ultimately manipulate hundreds of billions or even trillions of funds.   
Dozens of times of leverage are very common operations for them.   
This risk is much smaller than that of stocks. The most important thing is that as real estate has crazily risen for more than 20 years, banks and funds have mindlessly favored real estate companies, making the difficulty of getting loans much lower than that of physical enterprises.   
Just like external capital waving gold coins and wanting to participate in the construction of the Terra Kingdom.   
It was Tasika who didn't give a face by not letting them get on the bus.   
After Roger retreated from the Green Vines Empire, he had already returned to the mysterious capital. Therefore, he only heard Tasika's fundraising achievements after the fact.   
"That's insane. Now, half of the Eternal Night world admires you for blowing bubbles." He felt that he had grown to know Tasika again.   
The queen who used to have so much cash that she couldn't sleep now has tens of times more debt, yet she's becoming more and more colorful. It's miraculous!   
Faced with Roger's slightly disdainful gaze, Tasika calmly responded, "I am prepared to establish a Terra Investment Development Fund to participate in some project research and development of the Secret Society."   
"Come and invest! Our project has a high rate of return and we guarantee to meet all the requirements of our investors' mommies!" Roger immediately adopted a humble attitude.   
The Empire simultaneously carries out a large number of projects, and it is currently short of gold.   
Tasika covered her mouth and chuckled, staring at Roger, "Our investor's mommy has few demands, she only wants you."   
"Don't joke around. ╭( ･ㅂ･)و Our country does legitimate business." Roger immediately took a step back.   
Tasika let out an almost imperceptible sigh and discussed the cooperation seriously.   
Only then did Roger confirm that her speed of growth truly amazed him.   
In just a short amount of time, she had already increased the value of the Terra Kingdom by tenfold, and embarked on a high-speed path of development.   
As a result, she turned around and became a capital queen, investing in the Green Vines Empire!   
She is now fervently amassing the wealth accumulated by other countries for hundreds or even thousands of years and controlling its flow.   
Compared to Tasika today, Sophie's Money Cat is a stinky beggar.   
It can only be said that capitalism has always been so crazy.   
But it was also thanks to Tasika's capability that a batch of Totem Bracelets were shipped and Nirvana Land had no bottom line. The total online population in the virtual space has now successfully exceeded 100 million.   
Roger finally recalled the forgotten layout goal.
