Chapter 374: Buying a House
Without hesitation, Lin Tian left the budget hotel, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Kanyue City Medical University.
"Driver, do you know if there are any new real estate developments near the Medical University?" Lin Tian asked the taxi driver.
"Yes, there’s a new high-end community called Yanxi Villa. It’s great, but people like us can only look, definitely can’t afford to buy!" the taxi driver joked.
"Yanxi Villa?" Lin Tian thought for a moment. Although villas are expensive, he had nearly ten million on him now, so it should be enough!
"Take me there!"
"What? Are you buying a house, young man?" The taxi driver’s perception of Lin Tian suddenly changed.
If he’s not buying a house, why else would he go there?
So in the taxi driver’s eyes, Lin Tian was certainly going to buy a house, but buying a Yanxi Villa at such a young age?
That seems overly wealthy!
After getting out of the car, Lin Tian walked into Yanxi Villa’s sales hall, which was full of people.
Women holding handbags, exuding nobility, middle-aged men with wallets, wearing sharp suits, and sales ladies in uniforms.
As a young guy in sportswear like Lin Tian walked in, no one paid him any attention.
He even felt a bit neglected.
"Hello, is there a sales representative available? I want to..." Lin Tian asked a receptionist at the front desk.
"Mr. Zhong, Mrs. Zhong, good afternoon!" Unfortunately, the receptionist directly ignored Lin Tian and instead enthusiastically chatted with a middle-aged couple.
"Hey, I want to look at houses!" Lin Tian was dissatisfied with the receptionist’s attitude towards him.
Why?
Just because I’m young doesn’t mean I’m not thinking of buying a house?
"Sir, you want to buy a house?" The receptionist didn’t ignore Lin Tian, but you could tell from her words that she didn’t quite believe him.
"Yes, to buy a house!" Lin Tian nodded affirmatively.
Seeing this, the receptionist directly called over a salesperson: "This gentleman wants to buy a house, please assist him!"
"Let me introduce myself, I’m Wu Ming, a newly hired sales agent. Please kindly guide me!" This young salesperson named Wu Ming was relatively new and wasn’t as slick as the veteran salespeople. He maintained a pretty good attitude toward every prospective buyer, regardless of age or status.
Lin Tian found this quite satisfactory, as he despised people who looked down on others.
"Do you have any fully furnished homes, preferably ones I can move into right away?" Lin Tian asked.
Because he currently didn’t have a place to stay, a fully furnished, move-in-ready house would be ideal. Though it’s a bit pricier, it’s much better than staying in a budget hotel where nothing can get done.
"Yes, but they’re a bit pricey!" Wu Ming said while taking out some design plans for the houses.
"This villa here has an area of 280 square meters, two floors, priced at six million, and also includes a rooftop terrace of 70 square meters!" Wu Ming pointed to one of the design plans.
Looking at the house design, Lin Tian noticed it featured a north-south orientation, with three bedrooms on each floor, a total of six bedrooms, four bathrooms, two living rooms, plus the rooftop terrace, nearly 350 square meters in total.
Living alone in such a house is a bit extravagant, but at this point, he didn’t want to look at any other houses.
As for the price, he could accept it, so now it was just a matter of negotiating the cost.
"Any discounts?" Lin Tian asked.
"If you pay in full, there’s a discount of two hundred thousand, bringing the total to five million eight hundred thousand!" Wu Ming didn’t forget to add, "This is the lowest price. In a while, this villa might increase to seven million or more; it’s a good choice for either investment or habitation!"
"Then I’ll take this one!" Five million eight hundred thousand was completely manageable for Lin Tian, plus he could use the extra money to buy a car.
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming quickly added, "A garage costs twenty thousand each, would you like one?"
Lin Tian quickly grasped, "So with a garage, it comes to a total of six million, right!"
"Yes!"
"I’ll take this one, let’s proceed with payment!" Lin Tian said, taking out his bank card.
This scene left Wu Ming stunned. Judging by Lin Tian’s age, not only buying a house outright but even affording such an expensive villa would be surprising with a loan.
Yet Lin Tian bought it so decisively, answering so straightforwardly, without even taking a few days to consider before replying like other customers.
In Wu Ming’s experience of selling houses, this was a first.
In an instant, Wu Ming mentally categorized Lin Tian as a rich second-generation, and his attitude improved even further.
"Sir, are you sure?" Wu Ming asked again, still somewhat doubtful.
"Swipe the card; let’s buy now. Can I get the keys today?" Lin Tian once again placed his bank card in front of Wu Ming.
"Absolutely, no problem!" Wu Yong took Lin Tian’s bank card.
Immediately began processing the purchase paperwork. Throughout the afternoon, Lin Tian sat in the sales office lobby without moving, drinking nothing but tea.
Until past four in the afternoon, Wu Ming came over with four keys.
"Mr. Lin, here are the house keys, two in total, and here are two garage keys. Please keep them safe!" Wu Ming said while handing the keys to Lin Tian.
Taking the keys, Lin Tian stood up and left the sales office.
Now, of course, he wanted to see his newly purchased house.
Yanxi Villa Block 2, Building 3.
Lin Tian inserted the key into the villa door. With a click, the villa door opened, revealing the luxurious interior design.
After taking a walk on the first floor, Lin Tian sighed, "I finally have a home of my own!"
From the first floor to the second floor, from the second floor to the third-floor terrace, standing on the terrace looking into the distance, by now night had fallen over Kanyue City, the traffic, the neon lights, it all seemed extremely prosperous.
"Being rich is so great!" Standing at the edge of the terrace, Lin Tian sighed once more.
Since he bought a house, Lin Tian immediately returned to the budget hotel to check out and brought all his bags of herbs back.
He even went to the pharmacy halfway to buy a small pot for brewing herbs.
Now, it was time for alchemy.
Following the records in the Tyrant Emperor’s Record, Lin Tian put all the herbs into the small pot to brew.
Immediately, the room was filled with a pleasant herbal aroma.
Because alchemy differs from traditional herb brewing, Lin Tian did not follow the conventional method but instead boiled the water in the pot almost dry, without burning the pot.
Then he opened the lid, took out the herbs inside, crushed them, and formed them into pills.
After doing this repeatedly, the entire bag of herbs ended up producing only ten pills.
These pills were called Qi Increasing Elixirs, which could increase inner Spiritual Qi and aid in cultivation improvement.
After finishing everything, it was already ten at night. Completely exhausted, Lin Tian didn’t concern himself with training or taking the pills and just fell into bed to sleep.
For training, one naturally needs to be full of energy.
So there’s no rush, naturally waiting until tomorrow morning, when he’s refreshed, to proceed...
