The saleswoman's introduction focused on comfort, while Zuo Ling was more concerned with safety and the convenience of surviving in the apocalypse.
Security doors, rain and snow filtration systems, water tanks, solar panels, and power storage boxes are what Zuo Ling focuses on.
I took a closer look at the fireplaces in each room and the wood-burning stove in the kitchen.
What the saleswoman disliked was exactly what Zuo Ling was interested in.
After watching it, I felt depressed.
When I first bought coal, I was stingy and set a limit of six honeycomb briquettes to burn each day.
This house has two living rooms, one large and one small, three bedrooms with walk-in closets and bathrooms, a study, a maid's room, and a kitchen.
The nanny's room has no fireplace, the kitchen has a hidden wood-burning stove, and there is a fireplace in the living room, bedroom, and other rooms.
The original plan was to burn 6 honeycomb briquettes a day, which only covered one room. It couldn't be burned 24 hours a day; it could only be burned in the morning and evening, with the fire suppressed at other times.
With the space larger, at least two rooms needed to be heated to keep the temperature from getting too cold, and six honeycomb briquettes were clearly not enough. Fortunately, she packed in a lot more coal.
...Sigh, after living in poverty for so long, I just can't shake my stingy habits.
After looking around, Zuo Ling was very satisfied and said she would buy this set.
The saleswoman was overjoyed.
The prices of the Doomsday Castle apartments are outrageously high; only someone with too much money to burn would buy such an apartment.
What Zuo Ling considered life-saving facilities were, in the eyes of the saleswoman, hideously ugly things, which is one of the reasons why the Doomsday Fortress was hard to sell.
There's no need to install a 1000-liter water tank when you can just turn on the tap. It takes up space and isn't aesthetically pleasing.
The generator, energy storage box, and fireplace take up a lot of space unnecessarily.
She grew up in Kyoto, where power outages rarely lasted more than 24 hours, so there was no need for generators or storage tanks.
And what's that wood-burning stove?
Isn't natural gas good enough? Why burn coal, firewood, and charcoal? My God, is this some kind of primitive society?!
The saleswoman secretly complained bitterly about the boss who paid her salary.
After viewing the apartment, as you go down the stairs, point to the stairwell door:
"Once you receive your access card, you can reset the fingerprint password for this door. Under normal circumstances, no one will tamper with it unless there are special circumstances where the door will be forcibly broken down."
So, it turns out that some people can still get in. Zuo Ling's expression was displeased.
The saleswoman was very perceptive and quickly explained:
"Don't worry, the settings will not be changed easily under normal circumstances, unless there is a special situation such as a fire. This is also for your safety."
Zuo Ling was worried, but she also knew that the property management had its own rules that she couldn't change, so she could just install another door.
The saleswoman then said:
"Would you like to select a parking space first? The Doomsday Castle unit is eligible for 4 parking spaces, with rent to be paid separately."
Of course!
After taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Zuo Ling chose one of the four parking spaces on the side.
To Zuo Ling's satisfaction, the parking space was located between two large pillars and had a roller shutter door.
Once the heavy roller shutter door is pulled down, it creates a small, self-contained space.
The main concern is to guard against people with dark intentions who might scratch your car or puncture your tires.
Zuo Ling looked at the waterproofing design of the underground parking garage. It was fine for light rain, but it would be a disaster in the event of a flood.
Taxes, parking fees, and other miscellaneous charges add up to a total of just over 170 million.
When it was time to pay, the sales staff were surprised to see Zuo Ling pull a large garbage bag out of the car.
1,700 stacks of 1,000-yuan bills are quite visually striking.
Ah, ah, ah, who would have thought that this ordinary woman had so much cash in her car!
Swallowing hard, I thought, "Wow, someone who's got a lot of money has arrived."
In her previous life, Zuo Ling went to Shu Prefecture and didn't know when the water and electricity in the capital were cut off.
After receiving the water, electricity, and gas cards, I purchased 300 tons of water, 2000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and 300 cubic meters of natural gas.
Property management fees and heating fees have been paid in full.
It was almost noon, and the housing management bureau had closed for the day. The property ownership certificate wouldn't be issued until the afternoon.
What if the Ding family finds out about the house purchase? Zuo Ling didn't have time to think about it.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
Several proposals for a nationwide joint real estate inquiry system were shelved for various reasons, and Zuo Ling unwittingly evaded the Ding family's information capture system.
After receiving the newly issued property certificate, Zuo Ling didn't rush back to her new home. Instead, she drove to Panghuhu's repair shop.
Upon seeing Zuo Ling, the chubby guy jumped up excitedly:
"Sis, you've finally arrived! I thought you'd forgotten about the hard drive here."
In a flurry of activity, they pulled out a bunch of hard drives.
"Sis, ten hard drives are not enough. Six of them are used for entertainment alone. I tried calling you, but I couldn't get through."
"Sorry, I went on a long trip and lost my phone. I got a new SIM card."
Zuo Ling explained, casually flipping through the labels on the hard drive.
Fatty said:
"I've prepared an electronic catalog for you. It will make it easy for you to find what you're looking for."
Zuo Ling flipped through it roughly. The table of contents was very detailed, but she didn't know if it was complete or not. There were many things that Zuo Ling couldn't understand.
Letting her do it doesn't necessarily mean she'll do it better than others.
He praised, "Not bad, very good."
The chubby guy felt a bit relieved.
The total is 32 hard drives.
In addition to the cost of the hard drives and 500 yuan per drive, Zuo Ling gave an extra 20,000 yuan as a service fee.
Unexpectedly, there was another pleasant surprise, and the chubby boy's little eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
Unable to contact Zuo Ling, he was met with a lot of discouraging remarks from those wearing thick glasses.
They said his hard work was wasted, and that he should spend his time helping him with some work, or even just resting, and so on and so forth.
The chubby guy got annoyed by his nagging and almost lost his temper with him.
The man with thick glasses looked embarrassed. During their argument, the chubby guy said that he would take the loss himself and that it was his money, not the store's.
