Chapter 22 Buying a Large Apartment in a Ghost Town



The dew clings to the emerald green vegetable leaves, making them look incredibly fresh and appealing.

Rows and rows of a wide variety of vegetables are displayed on the shelves.

There was also a truck parked nearby, and the staff took out large red plastic bags from the truck, then took out freshly picked vegetables and placed them on the shelf.

The elderly people get up very early to visit the morning market.

Jiang Qingwan, one of the few young people, looked particularly out of place walking in the crowd.

"Boss, I'll buy all your vegetables for today." Jiang Qingwan walked into a shop at random.

"Go away, don't joke around in the morning." The boss was sitting on a stool inside playing on his phone. Hearing this, he didn't even look up and just waved his hand dismissively.

“I’m not kidding, I’ve bought it all.” Jiang Qingwan patiently repeated.

"Okay, we have several thousand kilograms of vegetables here today. Do you want to buy them all?" The shop owner's tone revealed disdain.

"Isn't that enough?" Jiang Qingwan casually tossed her hair and pouted.

"Sell it to me quickly, I'm in a hurry."

"Transfer the money. Ten thousand yuan." The shopkeeper showed his QR code for receiving payments.

Jiang Qingwan made the payment promptly.

Open Sister Huang's chat window and ask the shop owner to take a picture of the warehouse address with their phone.

The address of the clothing store's delivery warehouse is different from yesterday's.

This is new.

After thinking it over that night, Jiang Qingwan felt that it was not right to put everything in one warehouse and hoard supplies in a mess, so she asked Sister Huang if there were any other warehouses.

A clean and tidy warehouse.

Coincidentally, Sister Huang is a wealthy woman who owns a lot of real estate.

After another transaction, Jiang Qingwan and Sister Huang quickly reached a second agreement.

Sister Huang sent another warehouse address to Jiang Qingwan for rent.

This warehouse is mainly used for storing vegetables today.

"Deliver it before noon today," Jiang Qingwan specified the time.

Jiang Qingwan went on a shopping spree at the farmers' market, buying up all the produce from every single vendor, except for those that weren't for sale or were of average quality.

I also bought all sorts of seeds and fruit tree seedlings.

There are also slaughtered chickens, ducks, fish, pork, beef, mutton, seafood, etc.

Of course, they also pre-ordered a whole bunch of baby cubs.

They returned home with a bountiful harvest of food.

The next crucial question is how to save your life.

Jiang Qingwan went straight to the city's largest hardware and building materials market and went door to door to select handy and lethal tools.

"This is the machete." Jiang Qingwan weighed it in her hand, then visually assessed the sharpness of the blade. The length was also just right for her.

"Pack this one up separately for me, and send all the knives on this shelf to my warehouse," Jiang Qingwan said to the shopkeeper, putting down the machete she was holding.

"Okay, no problem here. Deliver it before this afternoon." The boss said with a fawning smile.

Jiang Qingwan did not stock up on too many knives.

Considering that most people will use superpowers to fight later on, or use metal superpowered individuals to customize knives with added bonuses.

In the early stages, everyone's superpowers were relatively weak, so they needed to use knives to engage in physical combat.

I don't really need the knives myself, so I'll leave them for future generations.

Stepping out of the shop, a cold wind howled.

The weather is still terrible today.

Logically, such strong winds shouldn't cause smog, but in reality, both occurred simultaneously.

The sky was overcast with extremely low visibility, and the fierce winds made it difficult to move.

Jiang Qingwan drove to a well-known real estate agency.

Black suit, white shirt, and glasses.

A very standard image of a real estate agent.

"What kind of house are you looking for?" the agent asked with a smile, bowing slightly as if inviting the agent to come in.

"Are there any villas available in Yaochi?" Jiang Qingwan asked, her purpose clear.

Yaochi Villa, also known as Ghost Villa.

Because the actual number of residents was too small, and there had been several cases of homeowners committing suicide.

The housing prices are not commensurate with the cost of building the houses, resulting in low housing prices.

The agent was taken aback, adjusted his glasses, and immediately spoke professionally, "Yes, please take a look at the owner's listing for sale here."

The agent took out a tablet, logged into the internal property listing software, and searched for Yaochi Villa.

There are still quite a few properties for sale.

"You must have heard the rumors about this Yaochi Villa, right?" the agent cautiously reminded him.

“I’ve heard that before. If you want to find a bargain, you always have to pay a price,” Jiang Qingwan chimed in.

"Then I'm relieved. Otherwise, I would have had to think of how to politely tell you. I'm a real estate agent with a conscience," the agent joked.

"There are plenty of properties available here because most of them belong to business owners who are quite superstitious about feng shui, you know what I mean?" the agent continued to explain.

"Don't worry, I know all that. Let me check the exact location of the villa within the community."

The real estate agent went from house to house introducing the location, size, layout, and decoration of each villa.

To everyone's delight, the agent also mentioned that there were large single-level apartments in the villa area.

Jiang Qingwan listened carefully and formed a general judgment in her mind.

In my previous life, I had only heard that Yaochi Villa was a paradise on earth, with excellent property management services and far from the city center, sparsely populated, and with even fewer people mutating into zombies.

Suitable as a transition.

However, I don't know much about the specific situation in the community because I am an outsider and not well-informed.

Now I know there are large single-level apartments.

There's no need for me to buy a villa; the best option is definitely a large single-level apartment.

It's not suitable for long-term stays.

A villa is unnecessary.

"This one will do."

"I'll complete the transfer of ownership tomorrow, and I'll pay in full." Jiang Qingwan selected the large apartment that she was most satisfied with.

"Okay, I'll contact the homeowner now. Please wait a moment." The agent poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the table in front of Jiang Qingwan, then returned to the office and spoke quietly with the homeowner.

Jiang Qingwan played on her phone while waiting for the homeowner's reply.

After a while, the agent opened the door with a smile on his face.

Jiang Qingwan estimated that this deal was going to be successful.

The agent sounded relaxed and cheerful, "No problem, he just happened to say he's free tomorrow, so we can proceed with the transfer directly."

“Okay, here’s my agent’s phone number. You can contact him tomorrow. He will handle the transfer of ownership on my behalf.” Jiang Qingwan nodded, pulled up Cheng Yi’s phone number, and had the agent write it down.

"His name is Cheng Yi. Contact him tomorrow. I'm making a full prepayment to your company now."

Upon hearing this, the agent hurriedly pulled out a transfer card with the company name and bank card number written on it.

After Jiang Qingwan completed the transfer, she called Cheng Yi directly from the store and instructed him to complete the transfer of ownership the next day.

Cheng Yi said she could, that she had the time and would definitely complete the task.

Jiang Qingwan made the entire call on speakerphone in the store, specifically to speak to the real estate agent.

Seeing how straightforward and generous Jiang Qingwan was, the agent insisted on giving her a bottle of oil and a bag of rice when she left.

Jiang Qingwan looked down at the oil and rice in her hand and couldn't help but chuckle; it was truly a practical gift.

The heavy objects in her hands seemed weightless to Jiang Qingwan.

Light and airy.

Jiang Qingwan put all the items into the trunk of the car in one go, and then got into the driver's seat.
