Gao Peng looked at it for a few seconds and muttered to himself.
"This should be a picture from before the Cataclysm, right?" Gao Peng recognized that none of the plants in the background were from after the Cataclysm. This was very strange. The Cataclysm had a huge impact, and almost all plants and animals had changed.
The atmosphere became awkward.
The salesman suddenly had an idea. "Yes, boss. Think about it. If it was before the Cataclysm, it would be impossible to buy a detached villa with a few dozen acres of garden in Chang 'an City.
Now, it only costs two thousand credits, which is twenty million. It's a good price. Although it's a remote area, there's a road at the foot of the hill. You can just buy a car, and it'll be very convenient to get in and out. "
Gao Peng glanced at him. He knew that the salesman had not explained everything, such as the safety and renovation issues.
After all, it was in the suburbs, and during the early days of the Cataclysm, there was a lot of social unrest. Villas like this in the suburbs were either built into fortresses or abandoned.
Three years had passed, and Gao Peng would be satisfied if the villa in the real world was sixty percent new.
However, Gao Peng was still very satisfied with the other aspects of the villa. The location of the villa was shown on the tablet. It was a new development area. Unfortunately, before it could be fully developed, Earth Star's Cataclysm had caused it to be redeveloped. Now, there was a Monster Breeder Association and a Monster Hunting Association there. It was also not far from the school. It could be reached in twenty minutes by car.
"Actually, this price is not low. The seller is selling it at a loss," the salesman said in a low voice. "After all, we're in Chang 'an City. One acre of land costs a few million credits … Of course, this is the price before the Cataclysm. Even after the Cataclysm, the price of land did not drop by much. The price in the suburbs might be slightly lower, but it did not drop by much."
The salesman spoke as if he was seriously considering Gao Peng's interests. It seemed that Gao Peng had made a big profit.
Gao Peng felt that this scene was very familiar …
"I want to take a look at the villa now. Is it convenient?" Gao Peng didn't want to waste too much time on buying a house. As long as it met the two conditions of seclusion and spaciousness, it would be fine. On this basis, the geographical location was convenient, the degree of damage, and other conditions were secondary.
As for safety, that was the least of Gao Peng's worries. Although there were a few scattered monsters in the outskirts of the city, there would definitely not be any monsters above Commander rank. Even Elite monsters were extremely rare. At most, they would encounter some Common monsters.
He had a group of familiars in his house. If a monster barged in, it would probably become an extra meal for them.
"Uh, wait a moment, I'll contact the seller," the salesperson said quickly, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the owner of the villa, a middle-aged man who looked like a big-bellied businessman, drove over.
Without further ado, he led Gao Peng and the salesperson to the suburbs.
In the car, the man briefly introduced himself. He was a businessman and had a villa in the downtown area of Chang 'an. He also had several houses. The house in the suburbs was actually bought by him for his parents.
When he said this, the man with a large gold chain around his neck chuckled. "What do people live for? It's to live comfortably. My parents are from the countryside. They have suffered for their entire lives. As their son, I have become successful. Naturally, I have to let them enjoy life. Don't you think so? "
Although the man was laughing, Gao Peng could tell that something was amiss.
The man's left arm rested on the steering wheel. He used his thick right hand to casually wipe his eyes.
He took a deep breath.
Then, he spat it out.
It was as if he had spat out a heavy burden.
The car fell into a short silence.
"But they didn't have time to enjoy it, not even for a day. They suffered for their entire lives!" The man's voice became sorrowful. "This f * cking world!"
Gao Peng, who had also lost his parents, felt the same way. He silently looked out the window.
The scenery outside the window whizzed past.
Soon, they arrived at the villa. The car stopped in front of the villa. "We're here."
The man got out of the car. His expression was normal, as if he hadn't said anything.
"This road is quite safe. There are often regular patrols by the army. However, this is the suburbs after all. It's hard to guarantee that you won't encounter some small monsters. So, little brother, if you want to buy, I suggest that you buy two familiars to guard the door at home. This way, your safety will be more guaranteed, and you can live without worry."
Gao Peng glanced at him. There was actually such a seller. He was simply conscientious.
The man smiled and handed over a business card. "My name is Liu Gu. I'm now a part-time Familiar business. Little brother, if you buy from me, I'll give you a 20% discount."
"Boss Liu knows how to do business." Gao Peng couldn't help but laugh. He took the business card and kept it.
The villa was as he had expected. It was a little dilapidated. Many bricks had fallen off the walls, and there were creepers growing everywhere.
"I've been busy with business for the past two years. I haven't had time to take care of this place." Liu San stood beside Gao Peng and handed him a cigarette. "But if I took care of this place often, it wouldn't be at this price."
"I don't smoke. Thank you." Gao Peng declined politely.
Liu San handed the salesman another cigarette. The salesman was flattered and accepted it.
"Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Liu San handed the villa key to Gao Peng.
"No, I'll just take a look at the surroundings. It's going to be refurbished anyway." Gao Peng shook his head.
"This is the price. Can I sign the contract now?" Gao Peng didn't want to waste any more time.
The salesman had already brought the contract with him. After signing the contract, he transferred the money at the same time. The process was very fast.
Under the new government's management, these contracts were very convenient to sign. There weren't as many tedious steps as before.
After accepting a series of contracts for housing, land, and the villa key that he had just received, this piece of land belonged to Gao Peng.
Under the federal government's new regulations, all land could be bought and sold legally. The duration of the sale was 100 years. Within 100 years, the land belonged to the buyer. Even the Alliance had no right to interfere with how the land was used.
After contacting the construction company and informing them of his design requirements, Gao Peng realized that the money he had just received was gone in an instant. Lu Xie had paid half of the "deposit" to Gao Peng, which was about 2,000 credits.
