Chapter 82

As he spoke, March 7th thought of the message sent by the big shot, as well as what Dan Heng had just said, and felt somewhat indignant.

If that really happened, it would be too terrible.

"Old man, you'd better give up on that idea."

Another Silvermane Guard spoke in a gentle tone: "The Fragmentum Road is very dangerous right now; we are doing this for your own safety, we are doing this for your own safety."

"But if I can't get my property, what difference is there between me and being dead?"

Hearing the words of this Silvermane Guard, this Belobog citizen wiped away tears while sobbing: "Just let me in, move aside."

"Sigh."

Hearing the citizen's words, both Silvermane Guards sighed in unison, then shook their heads: "Sorry, this is our duty; our duty does not allow anyone to enter here."

Even if they wanted to help, they had no way to do so; their duty was to guard this place.

As for anything else, there was no way.

"How miserable."

Watching that Belobog citizen leave in a dejected state, March 7th muttered: "I feel like life here isn't as good as I imagined."

"Because of the existence of the Fragmentum, no one knows what will happen next."

Dan Heng shook his head: "Let's go. Miss Pela should have already handled the procedures for us; we can go over and take a look."

There was no need for them to stay here either.

Immediately, the three of them headed toward the hotel.

However, not long after they started walking, their path was blocked by someone.

"Hey, hey, hey, you folks, buying a house?"

A person excitedly blocked the path of March 7th and the others: "Suburban residential sector, ample electric heating supply, fully furnished and move-in ready, scarce property, don't miss this chance! Such a good opportunity, I wish I could get one for myself! Do you need one?"

"I don't want to buy a house."

Seeing this real estate agent blocking their way, March 7th said expressionlessly: "Right now, I just want to go back to the hotel and get some good rest."

"Staying in a hotel is such a waste of money, better to buy a house."

The real estate agent hurriedly said: "I can give you a huge discount. I have connections at the top, understand? My inside information reveals that the price of this batch of houses will steadily rise and never fall within two years."

"You should just buy one; I guarantee you won't lose out."

"Even if you don't have money, it doesn't matter. You just need to sign a contract and pay a little bit from your monthly salary, that's fine. It's very cost-effective, 0 down payment is even okay!"

"I think we could buy one."

Looking at the real estate agent who was introducing things incessantly, March 7th gently tugged at Stelle's arm and whispered: "We aren't from here anyway; when the time comes, we'll just run away. How would he find us to collect the money?"

"That makes sense."

Hearing March 7th's words, Stelle was stunned and fell into deep thought for a moment, seemingly wondering whether to do so.

Dan Heng: "........."

Dan Heng had been listening to the two's conversation the whole time, his face speechless.

"I'm telling you, I have connections at the top."

At this moment, the agent saw that these people hadn't immediately left in disgust, so joy appeared in his eyes, and he immediately began to speak eloquently and incessantly.

"Buy a house here, and in two years it will rise by at least 30%, no, 40%!"

0

"And to tell you the truth, this is a completely conservative estimate; the actual increase will be at least this much, understand?"

As he spoke, he held up one hand: "Don't be scared. I was actually intentionally lowballing it; I can't let too many people know the inside scoop, after all, you understand."

"I'm telling you, I am the biggest agent in the local area; there isn't a house I can't sell. I've said this much, you must consider it carefully."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, March 7th pondered for a moment, pinching her chin—imitating Bai Ruyu—and tilted her head: "Is your property information really that reliable? Are you the only one doing this in this city?"

"Of course!"

Hearing March 7th's words, the agent raised his head proudly: "Many of the projects in my hands require dealing with big shots in Belobog; I've even met the current Supreme Guardian a few times."

"I can't reveal too many details; this matter involves too much. You are sensible people, you should understand what I mean. I can only say that those who understand, understand."

"Many people are buying now; they just paid a deposit and were able to reserve a unit with the developer. It's right over there, look."

As he spoke, the real estate agent pointed his finger at a certain place: "Just walk from here to there, and at the end is the suburban area, that's where the houses are. I can take you to see them. When it comes time to sign the contract later, you can pay in installments. Not having money isn't a problem; the future is long, invest early and get rich early."

"Is that where you just pointed?"

March 7th pointed her finger at the almost suburban location: "You just pointed there, but I see nothing but snow."

In this city of Belobog, there were no buildings at all in the suburbs.

...... 0 0

Listening to this agent, it seems it hasn't even been built yet?

If this isn't swindling deposits, what is?

"I thought you were a person with long-term vision; do you only look at what's in front of you?"

Hearing March 7th's words, the agent shook his head: "Buying a house is an investment. If you wait until the property is built to buy, the appreciation space will be small. Many people like to wait and see when buying a house, but what's the result? They watch house prices soar to the point where they can't afford them."

"And what about smart investors? They dare to enter the market before it opens, and in a few years, they can sell it for a huge sum of money. Now, look again, is that just a plain, unremarkable snowy field? That is a mountain waiting to be developed."

"There isn't even a house, it's just a snowy suburb, if you aren't swindling people, what are you?"

Stelle looked speechless: "Do you think we are easy to fool? Are we that easy to fool?"

"Watch your mouth. I am Lavini; who in the Administrative District doesn't know me? Only fools can't distinguish between opportunity and a scam. You aren't stupid, right?"

Hearing Stelle's words, Lavini immediately looked indignant: "And have you heard of the Supreme Guardian's new housing policy? Go and ask around; it absolutely cannot be fake. It's written in black and white very clearly. Even Qian Cai has already bought two units; could I be swindling myself?"

"Is that so."

March 7th had an expression of looking at an idiot: "Then can I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course you can, the customer is my god, I am very generous."

Lavini held her head high: "Even if you don't buy from me."

"Are you the only real estate agent in Belobog?"

"Strictly speaking, I am the only real estate agent in the Administrative District."

Lavini emphasized: "Belobog is very large, there is more than one district. We are in the Administrative District. I have competitors in other districts, but you just have to look at the territory to know who is powerful. They want to get their hands on the Administrative District, but they simply can't."

"I have all the property transaction records of the Administrative District for the past seven hundred years in my hands. Additionally, I know the family histories of the eight great families of Belobog by heart. Relying on this information, I am able to win the support of officials and the trust of the public."

"Officials and the public like to come to me to inquire about news; I am also the biggest intelligence chief in the Administrative District. Many people are willing to do business with me."

"Housing is a rigid demand for everyone, and I work hard to meet these requirements."

"That sounds incredible."

Stelle nodded gently: "But your way of selling houses is still too outrageous. At the very least, you have to build the houses. Wouldn't it work if you built half and then sold them? That would be much more convincing than you talking about a bare piece of land."

"What do you know? This is called pre-sale; it is our local specialty service, a new business model."

Lavini waved her hand casually: "I collect a sum of money first, and then go to the developer to do the development. If the development fails, I refund the money; if it succeeds, everyone is happy."

"Can pre-sales even fail? Isn't it 100% successful?"

"Of course not. Do you think we make a lot of money selling houses? You're overthinking it; the big chunk is taken away by those above."

Lavini pointed her finger at the sky and whispered: "We don't want to either, but we have to feed those above first before we can get a small share. The developers then use what's left to build the houses."

"The prices I even give you aren't something I can control. If I dared to lower the price, I would be arrested immediately."

"I don't want to experience that encounter; after all, it's not like there haven't been examples before, and the outcomes were all quite miserable."

"But I am very confident this time, because reliable channels told me that the next Guardian, Lady Bronya..."
