Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...
Chapter 140 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou first carefully checked the auction companies in H City. The three items in his hands were definitely not the kind of things that were extremely expensive, but they were definitely not cheap either.
After checking out the company online, I found it to be quite good. Without wasting any time, I contacted them directly by phone. When I learned that they had three items to auction, I arranged a time with Lin Leyou.
Lin Leyou was also encountering these things for the first time and didn't understand anything, but that didn't matter. Even if he didn't understand, it was fine. He could just entrust the items to the company for auction and he wouldn't have to worry about it.
After agreeing on a time, Lin Leyou temporarily put the matter aside and started looking at the questions. In the infinite world, one could directly take the driving test to get a driver's license, but that wouldn't work in the real world.
We must proceed step by step and take it slowly, otherwise we will fail the exam and have to retake it, wasting time, and buying a car will also be delayed.
Lin Leyou did not return to the Infinite World for the past few days. Instead, he went to sign a consignment contract on the second day and handed over three pieces of jewelry to the auction company. There would be an auction in a few days.
Knowing that he didn't need to attend the auction and only needed to wait to collect the money, he handed the matter over to the company and immersed himself in his studies.
Besides studying, he also chatted a few times with the real estate agent he had been in contact with before, all for the villa he had his eye on before. To be honest, buying it now is really a good deal.
In twenty or thirty years, the price of this house will increase tenfold! And you might not even be able to buy it, since villas in such good locations will have been sold out long ago.
The residents are all wealthy people; unless they go bankrupt and have no money, they certainly won't sell the house easily.
The villa he ultimately chose was in a new residential complex, about 500 square meters, and it was unfurnished. He would need to renovate it himself after buying it, but that didn't matter; he definitely had enough money to buy the house, and as for the renovation...
There's no rush. He's renting the place for a year, so he can wait a month or two before getting around to the renovations.
This time, Lin Leyou stayed in the real world for half a month. During this time, he passed the theory test and received the money from the auction company.
After deducting some fees, I finally received about 3.36 million. It's true that you can only get more money by watching auctions for good items.
Otherwise, it would only be worth two million.
Now that they have so much money, they must have already bought the villa. It's a villa in a great location; even nearly thirty years ago, this villa would have cost two million!
Lin Leyou spent some time and effort, and finally managed to finish the matter within half a month, and even obtained the property certificate. In other words, this villa is now his home!
He stood outside the villa, looking at his future home. Although it was still just a bare shell, he was incredibly happy, and the smile on his face was impossible to hide.
In his past life, he lived to old age and always regarded that dilapidated brick house in the countryside as his real home, never imagining that he was just an ATM.
That so-called home was just a prop used by her parents and younger brother to swindle money from her; in reality, they had already moved to a new house in the city.
Like the dilapidated house in his hometown, it was something that had been abandoned.
And... he finally owns his own house in this lifetime. Maybe he can have his own little home here in the future. He doesn't know if he can find someone he likes to live with.
The real estate agent was also very helpful in introducing him to renovation companies.
"Mr. Lin, you can rest assured that the decoration companies I'm introducing to you are the best in the provincial capital. Many wealthy people choose them for their renovations."
"Whether it's design, decoration, or material selection, we'll provide you with the best service! You know our richest man in H City, right? He had this top-ranked decoration company—the one I introduced you to—installed his villa in a certain neighborhood!"
Now that he had money, Lin Leyou was unwilling to compromise himself. He knew absolutely nothing about home renovation, and although hiring a professional would cost a lot of money, he could afford it now.
"Then give me a phone number, and I'll contact them later."
The real estate agent beamed, "No problem, here's his phone number. Mr. Lin can contact him anytime. Just mention my name and I'll let you jump the queue!"
The wealthy do have certain privileges that others don't have, and this is something that they have to admit even if they don't want to.
In the eyes of this real estate agent, someone who can buy a villa worth two million in cash in one go must be an extremely wealthy young master!
Moreover, this Jiangnan Bieyuan residential complex was only recently built, and the houses inside are not selling very quickly because he believes the prices are still relatively high.
So Lin Leyou was able to buy Villa No. 13 relatively early. As for whether the price will rise later, he couldn't say.
All he knew was that the person who bought the house was definitely very rich.
His good friend works at that renovation company. He introduced people to do renovations, and if the job goes through, he'll get a share of the profits.
Moreover, he wasn't just making random recommendations or disregarding everything for money. This renovation company is indeed very famous and quite good, and he has a clear conscience about the money he received.
After saving the phone number, Lin Leyou asked the deliveryman to take her back to her rented apartment complex. She ate some delicious food downstairs before returning to her place.
He lay on the bed, looking out the window for a long time, feeling a little tired. The sun wasn't too strong today, but the weather was still nice, and the sky was very blue.
On such a beautiful day, he also got his own house.
He took out his phone and looked at the number he had just saved. After thinking for a moment, he decided to call it now.
"Hello, may I ask how I am...?"
Lin Leyou: "I was introduced by an agent."
"Oh, hello, hello, you must be Mr. Lin! My surname is Li, you can just call me Xiao Li!"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, it's me."
He felt that he was definitely younger than this person, so calling him Little Li might not be appropriate, but calling him Mr. Li also seemed inappropriate, so he simply stopped calling him that.
Xiao Li, "I know a little about Mr. Lin's house. It's a detached villa in Jiangnan Villa, right?"
Lin Leyou: "That's right, 500 square meters, three floors..."
Xiao Li: "Okay, so what kind of decorating style do you want..."
Lin Leyou thought about the interior design style. In fact, he had thought about this countless times in his past life. Now that he finally had the opportunity to see it, he was naturally very concerned about this issue.
They discussed it on the phone for almost an hour, and Xiao Li offered a price of 500,000.
Is a villa worth two million yuan with a renovation cost of five hundred thousand yuan considered expensive?
Lin Leyou thought about it. Five hundred thousand yuan more than twenty years ago was a considerable sum. However, in order to ensure that the renovation met his expectations, this amount of money was indeed not to be spared.
He originally planned to go back to the Infinite World tonight to do some things before returning, but after thinking about it, he decided to settle the renovation contract first so that he could feel at ease.
As for the future, he can just come back from time to time to check on the progress of the renovation; there's no need to worry too much.
So the next day, Xiao Li couldn't wait to invite Lin Leyou to go to the villa to see the house. Of course, he didn't come alone; a whole group of people came.
Lin Leyou and Xiao Li were talking downstairs, while the others were inspecting various parts of the house, occasionally gathering in twos and threes to chat. They seemed quite meticulous and professional.
He didn't understand this either, so he said to Xiao Li, "Show me the renderings first?"
Xiao Li: "Of course."
However, a deposit is required first. Lin Leyou said that this was no problem. After paying the deposit, they would provide renderings. Once he was satisfied, they would sign the contract for the renovation.
As expected of a big company, they produced renderings very quickly, finishing in about two days, and there was more than one rendering.
Lin Leyou's aesthetic sense is still quite dated.
He felt that the aesthetic of young people from twenty years later was a bit too simplistic. He preferred something with a touch of antiquity, but didn't want it to be too complicated, lest he appear like a nouveau riche with money to burn.
So I simply chose a retro-looking but comfortable and simple decor.
Although it seemed relatively simple, the price still had to be what it was supposed to be. In the end, the renovation cost was settled at 550,000 yuan, and a contract was signed and a portion of the money was paid.
In this way, Lin Leyou finally resolved a major issue and returned to the Infinite World.
Five hours isn't much.
The first thing I did was check my phone for messages, and I saw that there were still messages from Jiang Xiali and Xue Rui.
The message from Jiangxiali was an invitation to stay at his house, but looking at the time, I'll wait until morning to send him the message.
There were ten messages about Xue Rui, and he gasped after reading them.
The ten messages are grouped in pairs.
The first message for each group is that you have arrived at a certain place, and the second message is that you have successfully completed the level or failed, and that it hurt a lot but you will continue to try in the future.
Two messages are sent for each instance, one for each instance, and one for each instance, for a total of ten messages.
In other words, Xue Rui actually opened five instances during the half month he spent working in the real world!
Was this mandatory by the system, or did he request to participate?
"System, how much time interval is required between players participating in dungeon runs?"
"Note: Players must not have more than 30 days between participating in a dungeon. Otherwise, they will be forced to participate in the dungeon, and the difficulty of the dungeon will be increased. There is no time limit for the shortest interval between participating in a dungeon."
It seems that Xue Rui is a player who is desperately participating in the dungeon game, all in order to get more points and more items so that he can have more resources to survive.
But he is now...
Lin Leyou himself is only eighteen years old and has just come of age. Xue Rui is one year younger than him, which means he is only seventeen years old. Does he have such a lot of trouble and pressure now?
