Chapter Ninety-Seven: A New House

"The starting price of 800 gold sounds good. ”

Using the auction interface, Cono places Monique's work in the auction.

Set items can be sold together, so he doesn't need to sell Monique's Greed and Monique's Thirst separately.

Kangou checks if there is anything else in the inventory that is worth selling.

Melanke's compass may not be sold. I'll keep the webbed feet for later.

Conou placed the melancholy compass and S-class fisherman's flipper feet only on one of the corners of his inventory.

"Haha, if I hadn't discovered this wealth, I'd be at a loss. ”

He takes a big risk to find a hidden oasis, especially time!

Now that his adventure has been successfully completed, he realizes that his adventures and hunts are not profitable with the items he has obtained.

However, he earned a ton of gold.

He obtained 1,000 gold coins from Stone Go Bar and 3,000 gold coins from the hidden oasis.

Not only that, but he also made some money from gold worms and chyle.

After Grano also sold the treasure, I should make more money.

Overall, each gold and silver treasure was worth more than gold bars (worth 100 gold coins).

The rest has some treasures. Each of them is worth more than 500 gold.

In any case, there are more than 20 of them, so Con Ou will definitely get at least 3,000 gold coins.

"Hey, I made a ton. ”

He swallowed the sand and walked with the scorching sun on his head, but it was worth it in the end.

Cono closes the auction screen.

"I've done everything I need to do. ”

He didn't have anything to do immediately, so he quit.

Ji-woo goes out with his family to see the house.

He had originally planned to do so earlier, but the Barryton desert trip took longer than he expected, so he had to postpone it until now.

"We're here. ”

A nice real estate agent to guide Conou and his family.

"This is it. ”

The real estate agent pointed to a three-story villa. Ji-woo and his family follow the real estate agent into the house.

"No. 201. Over here. ”

The real estate agent opened the security key app for their smartphone and took it to the gate, unlocking it.

After the door opened, Ji-woo and his family entered the house.

The real estate agent smiled politely and said, "Please look around." If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. ”

"Big," Mina said as she looked at Yura.

Compared to the underground houses they live in now, it is huge.

"Right?"

Jura nodded.

She and Mina begin to look around while Ji-woo explores the house with his mother.

"There were three rooms with a bathroom. ”

Looks bigger than 20 tsubos.

However, the villa and the whole house look dilapidated.

"What about public safety in this area?" Wu asked.

Yes, he is looking for a house, but as an older brother, he wants his sisters to live in a safe place.

"It's like anywhere else," the real estate agent said. ”

"That means it's not great. ”

His mother inspected every corner of the house.

She looked at the sink, bathroom, boiler, and even anywhere without mold or stains.

"What are the neighbors like?" his mother asked.

Realtors perused their tablets to find the above information.

"202 is empty. ”

"How's the noise between floors?" she asked.

"The building is old, so there's some noise between the floors," said the real estate agent. ”

As his mother looked around, she kept asking questions of the real estate agent. The real estate agent does her best to answer any questions she may have.

"The view is nothing special," Mina said, looking out the window.

She can see the building next door through the window, and the other side can see the road through the window.

"At least we'll get a lot of sunshine. Jura said with a smile.

"How?" Wu asked his mother.

"It's better than where we live now," his mother said. ”

"She didn't like it very much. ”

If she liked the house, then she would say so.

His sisters looked to have lost all the excitement they once had. Of course, Ji-woo is also dissatisfied with the house.

"How much is the rent here?"

"40 million yuan ($40,000). ”

'40 million...'

In the past, real estate prices continued to rise until the housing bubble burst.

Nowadays, the prices of houses, rentals and rentals are rising again.

"Please show us a place with a higher rental price. ”

"I understand. ”

Ji-woo and his family rode the real estate agent's car and started looking for other homes.

Now they are in a 28-square-meter apartment. This house is big and clean compared to the previous one.

Just like before, his mother checked every square inch of the place and kept asking questions to the real estate agent.

On the other hand, his sisters commented on how big and clean the place was and how the scenery was.

After they looked around, his mother and sisters were happy with the house.

However, so far they have only seen two houses. It's too early to make a decision.

"Are there any other houses you want to show us?"

"Of course. ”

The real estate agent took him and his family to two other houses, each with three rooms.

"Do you have a four-room house?"

Conou had asked a real estate agent to find him a three- to four-room home.

However, real estate agents keep showing them houses with only three rooms.

"We know. The house next door has four rooms. ”

The real estate agent parks the car in a residential area with several detached houses.

They used their security key app to unlock the door and open it.

"Is this it? It looks brand new," Ji-woo said in surprise.

Detached house with yard, but the building itself is clean. It must have just been built.

The real estate agent said, "Yes. The original owners built the house and intended to buy it, but due to environmental reasons, they had to go down the hill to the countryside, so they rented it out instead. ”

"So no one has lived there before?"

"Definitely. ”

"This is a brand new house. Let's go inside and see. ”

Ji-woo looked at the room expectantly.

"Wow, that's really a new house. ”

Yura and Mina are surprised.

It's not just clean, it's completely spotless, and there are no traces of any previous inhabitation.

The area of this house is 30 tsubo larger than usual, but it does not reach 50 tsubo.

There are four rooms and two bathrooms. The living room is large and the windows are wide so that sunlight can easily penetrate the house.

Mina said: "The house is nice. ”

"We can have a dog or cat here. ”

Yura smiled.

His mother was not just convinced that it was a new house.

"Are you worried about building syndrome?"

"The original owners built the house to live in, so it was made of eco-friendly materials. There should be no sick cases of syndrome here. ”

As usual, his mother carefully studied the whole house.

However, she had to accept the facts. This house is by far the best they have come across.

"It's good. ”

Eventually, even his mother said "good".

"How much is the rent?" Wu asked.

"200 million yuan (US$200,000). ”

The lease is high and suitable for newly built homes.

'200 million... I can pay the first 100 million. Should I borrow?"

If he counts the gold and wealth he received from the hidden oasis, as well as the fees for his TV appearances, then he will be able to pay about $100 million.

"What about the rent?"

"The security deposit is 50 million yuan ($50,000) and the monthly rent is 2 million yuan ($2,000). ”

"Hmm. ”

Ji-woo fell into deep thought. Is it better to rent or rent?

"Brother, have you decided on this place?" Mina asked, noticing his reaction.

"Why, you don't like it?"

"No," Mina replied quickly.

Yura was also laughing from ear to ear.

"Can you ask the landlord if we can pay the rent now and sublet it later?" asked Ji-woo.

For the time being, renting here is too expensive.

If he took out a loan, then he could afford the rental, but he didn't want to put his family in debt after paying off the debt.

In addition, they will need to buy some furniture and other necessities for the new house, so he needs to leave some cash behind.

As a result, Jiwoo hopes to pay monthly rent now and eventually switch to leasing.

"I see. Please give me a moment. ”

The real estate agent called the homeowner and reprinted Ji-woo's offer.

"Yes, a family who comes to see the house wants to know if they can pay the rent and then sublet it when they have the money. Yes, yes. That's what we're going to do. ”

The real estate agent hung up.

"Acceptable to the owners. Do you want to sign a contract?"

"Yes. Let's get started. Now, I will sign a temporary contract and pay a deposit of 1 million yuan ($1,000). In two weeks, I will have a real estate agent sign the formal contract," Ji-woo said.

He needs to make money. Plus, he plans to use this time to learn more about the house, just in case.

Realtors claim owners leave because they have to go to the countryside, but who knows?

Maybe the house was used as collateral, or maybe it was some kind of trick.

After all, you need to think twice. He intends to spend a lot of money on this, so he should not make a hasty decision.

"I understand. ”

The real estate agent nodded.

Ji-woo signed a temporary contract through a recording, and he used his mobile phone to deposit 1 million yuan ($1,000) into the real estate agent's bank account.

"Please call us before visiting us in two weeks. If you do, we will prepare the contract before you arrive. ”

"Okay, I know. ”

Ji-woo and his family's outing has come to an end.

"Ah, do you know any good restaurants nearby?" he asked the real estate agent.

He'll be out with his family, so might as well buy them a nice meal before they go home.

"There is a great steakhouse nearby. ”

"How does the steak sound?" Wu asked his mother.

"It really doesn't matter to me. Mina, you, what about you?

"Meat sounds good!" shouted Yura.

Mina nodded.

"Can you tell us where that steakhouse is?" Wu asked.

But the real estate agent showed excellent service until the end.

"Please come in. I'll take you there. ”

"Wow, thank you. ”

Conou and his family ride a real estate agent's car to the steakhouse.

"I hope you have a good day. ”

"Take care of yourself. ”

"Thank you for helping us today. ”

The real estate agent puts them in the steakhouse and leaves.

"Let's go inside. ”

Ji-woo and his family had a great time at the steakhouse.

As he ates, he looks at how happy his sisters are, and his mother looks at how content her sisters look, and truly feels that it is a good thing to be alive.

"That's what it's like to make money!"
