settle down

Seeing the message Qin An sent on WeChat, Lin Feng replied, reassuring him.

He was a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm mighty figure, a strong individual who had personally slain tribulation lightning; if he truly wanted to kill someone, how could he leave any traces?

Next, he needed to make money.

There was still a lot of gold and gold bars in the System Space, and Lin Feng planned to sell a few gold bars to get some cash, then buy a house to live in.

Selling gold without the purchase certificate meant he couldn't sell it through legal and compliant channels, so Lin Feng could only sell small quantities through mineral testing, gold testing, and small jewelry shops, at a lower price, which he believed would work.

Things went as Lin Feng expected; he ultimately sold gold at a low price, earning 8.65 million, also thanks to the high-level bank card Qin An arranged for him, otherwise, he might have already received a call from the bank.

With money in hand, it was naturally time to buy a house; the housing prices in Yan City had dropped significantly compared to before he left, which was certainly related to the large number of missing people.

Standing by the roadside, Lin Feng thought for a moment and decided not to use his teleportation ability, instead, he hailed a taxi.

“To Muhe Garden Sales Office.”

After scanning with his divine sense, Lin Feng spoke.

“Alright, please buckle your seatbelt.”

With that, the driver stepped on the gas and drove off.

The Muhe Garden Sales Office was not very far from where Lin Feng got in the car, but a sudden incident occurred midway: a straight-moving truck collided with a turning truck, and the turning truck directly overturned, crushing a small car.

Currently, the entire road was in a massive traffic jam; they couldn't back out, nor could they move forward.

It would probably be an hour or two before the traffic police cleared the vehicles.

“Damn it, how unlucky.”

Lin Feng said, quite annoyed; he had finally gotten in the mood to experience riding in a car, only to encounter such a situation, proving that teleportation was indeed more convenient.

“You're right, I just asked in the group, that turning truck was overloaded, otherwise, it wouldn't have overturned. Little brother, if you're in a hurry, you can get out first; this fare is on me, sorry about that.”

“It's fine, I actually enjoy watching the commotion.”

As he spoke, Lin Feng casually took out a box of cigarettes from his System Space, lit one for himself, and offered one to the driver.

The driver had just lit it and taken a puff when he felt the taste was a bit strange; he took it down and saw that the text on the cigarette was in a language he couldn't understand.

“Handsome, which country is this cigarette from? This kick, it's even stronger than Baibai, really good.”

“It's from a Russian country, but I still think domestic cigarettes taste better.”

“Haha, right? I'll let you try the cigarettes I smoke later; I've been smoking them for over ten years.”

............

The two chatted back and forth; this driver was also quite talkative, able to conjure topics even when there were none, but the problem was that Lin Feng had been away from Earth for too long, so any hot news was vague to him, and he could only agree with what was being said.

The driver didn't notice at all, and eventually even insisted on adding Lin Feng as a friend, not charging him for this ride, telling Lin Feng to just WeChat him directly if he needed a ride in the future, on-call service.

Finally, an hour later, the road was clear, and when they arrived at the destination, the driver insisted on not taking any money, but Lin Feng still left a hundred and agreed to meet up with the driver next time.

Although it was a polite remark, Lin Feng also found the driver quite interesting, and most importantly, he always felt a fleeting sense of familiarity with the driver.

Watching Lin Feng's departing figure, the driver sitting in the car was very happy; it was his first time having such a pleasant conversation with someone thirty years younger than him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take out the photo clipped to the sun visor, then sighed deeply; the person in the photo was his son, who had heart disease and was also a missing person.

“You little brat, where did you go? Dad has saved enough money for you to get married...”

The driver touched the photo, tears welling up in his eyes, but he quickly held them back; although he deeply hoped his son would return, he knew that the chances were slim.

..............

At the sales office, before Lin Feng even reached the entrance, as soon as he stepped onto the stairs of the sales office, two welcoming ladies opened the door.

“Hello, welcome to Muhe Garden.”

Lin Feng nodded at this, thinking to himself, when did the service at sales offices become so attentive?

Before he could speak, several female sales agents with exquisite makeup and ample figures surrounded him, all asking Lin Feng if he had a preferred floor plan or similar questions.

Seeing how enthusiastic these female sales agents were, Lin Feng subconsciously glanced at his own attire.

It was very ordinary, just a bunch of generic brands; didn't novels always depict female sales agents looking down on people, only to be slapped in the face later?

A hint of regret flashed in Lin Feng's eyes; he had originally wanted to experience the thrill of playing the pig to eat the tiger and constantly slapping faces, but it seemed he was not the protagonist after all.

Actually, what Lin Feng didn't know was that after a large number of people went missing, real estate, having been overdeveloped, became unsellable, and the real estate stock market also took a cold hit, making it very sluggish.

To meet their performance targets and earn commissions, these sales agents were not picky at all; let alone Lin Feng, who was dressed in generic brands, they would probably even smile and serve a beggar.

Finally, Lin Feng casually picked a sales agent he liked and bought a large flat, signing the contract.

The housing prices were indeed cheaper than before; with all the discounts, Lin Feng only spent 750,000 to buy a one-hundred-and-fifty-square-meter apartment.

If this were in Yan City's housing market before, it would have cost at least two million.

With the house bought, the next step was to buy a car; fortunately, Lin Feng had already obtained his driver's license after graduating from high school.

After much deliberation, Lin Feng casually bought a car for around two hundred thousand for daily commuting.

The house was ready for immediate occupancy, so Lin Feng didn't need to prepare anything.

“Come on out, this will be your new home from now on.”

With that, Lin Feng activated his ling ring and released the Three Swordsmen, Luo Yin, and 101.

“Awooo! Mom, this place is so small!”

The little dragon looked around and realized that his height and length seemed a bit inconvenient!

Black Bean and Yellow Bean, however, were quite satisfied, especially Yellow Bean, who immediately started bouncing on the sofa.

“Hey? This sofa is so soft, squeak, squeak, much better than the previous house, hahaha!”

“Hmm, little dragon, bear with it for a bit, okay? I'll buy a bigger one later.”

Lin Feng frowned; he had indeed forgotten to consider the little dragon's size, but it was still a one-hundred-and-fifty-square-meter apartment, so the little dragon could certainly move around, no need to worry about that, but it definitely wouldn't be as comfortable as the wild, so Lin Feng planned to make more money and then buy an estate.
