Chapter 18 Profiteers
Chapter 18 Profiteers
"Unfortunately, all the decorations in this manor are fakes except for the decoration. Over time, everyone knows that he is unable to make ends meet, so no one wants to invest in it. That's why they come here to register and see if they can sell it."
"It's just that this place is too remote, and almost no one will choose to buy it."
Finally, the receptionist did not forget to remind Leng Xiyao how remote this place was and how simple the furnishings were. It would be useless to buy it. If the other party really bought it, she would not feel at ease with the money she earned!
A normal manor is basically filled with soul guides that make life more convenient, not to mention the simulated training environment, which is almost standard. Coupled with countless expensive furnishings, the people living in it can feel happy physically and mentally, and even their entire aura is different.
However, the manor they were looking at was really just an ordinary complex of buildings.
Leng Xiyao took the information handed over by the receptionist and read it carefully. She had to say that the specific layout of this manor was quite pleasing to the eye. It basically had all the necessary facilities. In terms of style alone, it was even better than their home in Xingdou Town.
Although the area is not small, it is really remote. It is almost built on unwanted wasteland. It is several kilometers away from Shrek Village, but she is still tempted.
The most important thing is that it's cheap! This place only costs 80,000 gold soul coins, which is almost like picking it up for free. As for other facilities, we can improve them slowly in the future.
In addition, the distance is not too far from Shrek Academy, which seems to be more conducive to future development than in Soto City.
"Okay, we've decided to buy this place. How should we proceed with the transaction?" Right now they were in a hurry to find a place to live. Leng Xiyao was too lazy to bargain or anything, so she just bought it outright. The important thing was to move in and get settled in as soon as possible.
"Ah? You bought it? You don't want to take another look? The cost of this place is only two thousand." Hearing Leng Xiyao's decisive reply, the young lady was stunned for a moment and almost told the truth.
However, Leng Xiyao did not let her continue, and said firmly: "I won't look at it anymore. This is the one I want. How do I sign the transfer procedures?"
Seeing that Leng Xiyao was so determined to be a sucker, the receptionist had no choice but to say, "Well, since you insist on doing this, then come with me. I will take you to the owner to discuss the specific transaction matters. The title deed of this manor is not with us, but with the owner. Maybe the other party didn't expect to really sell it."
As she spoke, the young lady led the way and walked out of the trading center, obviously preparing to lead them to find Flanders.
To be honest, Leng Xiyao had never thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world. She could meet important characters in the main plot just by buying a house. But it didn't seem strange. After all, Shrek Academy had two Soul Saints and a bunch of Soul Emperors. It would only take a few days to build a manor. Except for the land, the manor was worthless.
However, Leng Xiyao felt that she could take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Flanders in advance. It didn't matter if she spent a little more money. After all, money is something outside of one's body and there is no use in keeping it!
The black shop opened by Flanders was not far from the stock exchange. The receptionist took them there after walking through several streets. It must be said that the shop looked pretty good, and it was surrounded by well-known businesses in the city. However, compared with the bustling scenes of other shops, this black shop was like a gathering place for evil soul masters. Even passers-by were reluctant to pass by the door for fear of being blackmailed.
Before pushing the door open and entering, the receptionist looked at Leng Xiyao's curious expression and couldn't help but frown. She quickly reminded them, "Lord Flanders has a strange personality and is a powerful Soul Saint. Everyone must be careful after entering. Don't touch anything. Also, pay attention to whether there are any strange objects under your feet. If you accidentally touch anything, you will be blackmailed."
Leng Xiyao was speechless. Has Flanders' reputation fallen to this point?
The door of the shop was ajar, so the three of them pushed it open and walked in. There was no counter in sight, but there was a pile of sundries hanging on the shelves by the wall. They didn't seem to be much better than garbage and didn't look valuable at all.
Apart from that, there was a slightly handsome middle-aged man lying on a sturdy-looking recliner, reading a book. The chair made a squeaking sound under his weight, and it was obvious that it was not a good person.
However, in the spirit of picking up leaks, Leng Xiyao still used her perception skills to detect it.
Well, as expected, except for a piece of yellow hair crystal, everything is garbage.
The middle-aged man didn't seem to notice the people pushing the door open. He continued to support his head with one hand, flipping through the book in his hand from time to time, as if he didn't care at all.
Seeing the other party's calm appearance, the receptionist took two steps forward, bowed and said, "Lord Flanders, someone wants to trade the house you listed on our exchange. Please take a look."
Hearing this, Flanders was stunned for a moment, then looked at Leng Xiyao and the other two people brought by the receptionist, then stood up and said with a flattering smile: "Oh, it turns out that the sponsor is here, please take a seat quickly, please take a seat quickly!"
"No need to sit down, let's just do the transaction quickly." Looking at the money-grubber in front of her, Leng Xiyao was speechless, but she was not prepared to have a deep communication with the other party right now, otherwise he would inevitably think that she had ulterior motives.
Hearing Leng Xiyao's swift and decisive action, Flanders did not hesitate and directly took out a stack of documents and a few keys from the storage soul guide, placed them on the table and said to Leng Xiyao: "This is the title deed. As long as you pay the money and sign the contract, this manor will belong to you."
Flanders rubbed his hands. He dreamed of selling the house. Even if he only sold it for 5,000 gold soul coins, he could still make 3,000. What's more, there was someone willing to buy it for 80,000 gold soul coins!
The receptionist had already prepared the contract for the transaction. Upon hearing what Flanders said, she quickly took it out and handed it to Leng Xiyao.
Leng Xiyao signed her name on it without hesitation and handed over a card, indicating that the other party could receive the money.
The most valuable soul guide in this black shop should be the one used for swiping cards, and it is the latest model. With Flanders's operation, the transaction was completed.
Leng Xiyao put away the title deed and the key and prepared to leave. She had nothing to do here anymore. She didn't need to worry about the agency fees. Flanders would naturally take care of the rest.
Just as she was about to step out of the door, Flanders' voice rang out again:
"Wait a minute, everyone. Are you coming to Soto City to enroll in the Intermediate Soul Master Academy?"
