Chapter 178: 171, there's only one kind of illness in the world, and that is the disease of poverty (supplementary update)
"Yang, we could have actually haggled over the price."
"We could have gotten it down by at least one and a half million."
Before signing the contract, the homeowner went to make a call, probably just giving her family a heads-up.
And while the other party was on the phone, Wang Xiuxiu leaned towards Yang Hao and whispered to him. She had a pretty good impression of this wealthy brother. It was his first time stepping in and he solved her problem of rent and meals after quitting her job, and this time he had brought a super deal of 18.88 million.
Although the agent's fee was based on the total transaction value of the house, she still felt that Yang should haggle the price down. Saving more than a million to do something else wouldn't be bad, he could buy another ordinary residence in Jiangcheng.
"Forget it, the price is quite auspicious as it is."
Yang Hao knew that sister Xiuxiu meant well, but the issue was that haggling wasn't suitable for him, considering the system's double cashback and the possibility of a critical hit.
He would earn less by the amount he haggled down, so for him, bargaining just wasn't cost-effective.
The female homeowner decisively signed the contract after finishing the call, and Kang Huizhi's hands were trembling while she did it. It took her a long time to write her name of three characters, one stroke at a time.
This was a mansion worth nearly twenty million!
Kang Huizhi never dared to dream that she could live in such a house in this lifetime.
"Yang, we should head over to the real estate bureau now, we should be able to get the procedures done before they close."
After signing the contract, Wu Tian spoke with a beaming smile.
"Mhm, let's hurry it up then."
Yang Hao nodded. Naturally, it would be best to get the property transfer procedures done sooner rather than later.
So, the group headed off to the property transaction hall.
Yang Hao was quite a regular here of late, having come here frequently.
As a seasoned real estate agent, Wu Tian called in a favor to skip the queue and managed to get all the paperwork done before the staff finished for the day.
"Xiuxiu, help me find another place near Star Cloud Bay, not in Binjiang Left Bank, with a budget of within ten million."
While Li Manni went to handle the property transfer procedures with her in-laws, Yang Hao called Wang Xiuxiu over to a quiet spot.
"Ah?"
"Yang, you want to buy another house??"
Wang Xiuxiu's mouth fell open in shock. They had just completed a purchase of 18.88 million, and now he was looking at another mansion with a budget of ten million.
She seriously wondered if this brother owned a mint.
Or was it that their family's money really came in with the wind, buying mansions like ordinary people go shopping in a supermarket.
And Yang Hao's idea was to complete Meng Chacha's weekly task. After all, little bitch's exclusive spending allowance was two hundred million, and so far he had spent less than ten million!
Yang Hao was very restrained when spending on Meng Chacha, mostly buying her things rather than giving her cash directly because he knew for a woman like Meng Chacha, it needed to be a slow and steady supply, not too much at once.
So, he didn't plan to buy a particularly expensive house; a property valued at ten million would be sufficiently impressive.
But he couldn't buy a house in Binjiang Left Bank, to avoid clashing with Li Manni!
The best arrangement would be to have several NPCs all living near Star Cloud Bay, which would allow Yang Hao to become an excellent time management master.
"Send me any appropriate listings you have."
"The faster, the better."
Yang Hao instructed again.
After all, NPC tasks refresh every week, and if they aren't completed within that time, new tasks will appear.
And the task for Meng Chacha actually had a pretty good cost-performance ratio, with a reward of Attribute Points * 5.
This seemed to be the first time receiving such a task with a one-time reward of five Attribute Points.
Yang Hao was quite looking forward to seeing what qualitative change would occur after hitting 100 in any attribute.
"Alright, Yang!"
"I'll have news for you tomorrow."
Wang Xiuxiu nodded quickly without asking any further questions.
This Yang was literally her "sugar daddy"! She was already reveling in today's huge deal of 18.88 million, and unexpectedly there was already another million-dollar deal on the way.
In fact, for real estate sales, repeat customers were rare.
After all, houses are not frequently re-purchased; ordinary people buy a house and live in it for decades.
What Wang Xiuxiu didn't know was that Yang might have future housing needs.
Can't help it, as long as there are enough NPCs, the houses have to be bought.
One house per NPC isn't too much, is it?
Ding!
Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering a five-times cashback critical hit.
Ding!
Congratulations to the host for receiving a filial piety cashback of 94.4 million yuan!!
The property transfer is completed.
The System's voice once again rang in Yang Hao's mind.
And to Yang Hao's delight, this time it was a critical hit.
Five times again!!
Although it wasn't a tenfold critical hit like when buying the car!
But because the total amount was substantial, Yang Hao still made a killing!
Including the millions left in the card from before, Yang Hao's cash on hand had for the first time broken through a small goal.
He had become a [True·Billionaire]!
The System rocks!!
Too bad the System is a virtual platform, otherwise Yang Hao would've definitely taken it to Miss Color's foot-washing city and arranged for ten technicians to give it a treat.
Right now, Kang Huizhi, still holding the freshly minted property title, felt like she was dreaming.
In just one day, it was as if she had leaped across social classes!
From a low-income resident of a small county to a "new urban immigrant" owning a multimillion-dollar luxury house in a big city.
Although she didn't plan to actually move to Jiangcheng yet, for Chinese people owning a house is akin to having roots—you can come to Jiangcheng anytime you want and stay as long as you like!
"Manni, you take mom and dad back first."
"I still need to go to the Wenjie experience center to pick up another car."
The property hall wasn't far from the Henglong Wenjie experience center, and when they left, they only drove one car. Currently, Yang Hao's Yangwang U8 and another Wenjie M9 were parked at Henglong's parking lot.
"Mm, okay."
Li Manni nodded, still not quite recovered from her shock.
After all, an 18.88 million mansion is a completely different concept from a multimillion-dollar Porsche Cayenne.
If she doesn't live in the house and sells it, she could become a millionaire straightaway!
"Hao, let me drive you there!"
Li Baojun was quite observant, considering they only drove one car over, and now Yang Hao would need to take a taxi to Henglong.
"No need, we're going in two different directions."
"You guys head back early to rest. It's been a long day."
Yang Hao waved his hand and casually hailed a taxi and got in.
"Hao, be careful on your own..."
As Yang Hao was getting into the car, Kang Huizhi, whose thoughts returned from her reverie, quickly reminded him.
"Mom, don't forget to take your medicine."
Yang Hao reminded her in return.
And only after hearing her son-in-law's reminder did Kang Huizhi remember that she was indeed a patient.
However, she now felt as if her illness had disappeared!
No more pain.
No uncomfortable feelings.
Instead, she was caught up in a state of excitement.
Kang Huizhi, now a mother-in-law, was suddenly reminded of a movie she had seen on TV, where one line was particularly memorable: There's only one illness in this world, and that's being poor!
Today her son-in-law introduced her to the life of the wealthy, and indeed all the physical discomforts vanished.
She even forgot she needed to take medicine!
"Let's also go, check out the house."
"I didn't get a good look earlier!"
Once the taxi had driven off, Li Baojun said with anticipation.
"Mm, I didn't get a chance to look closely either!"
Kang Huizhi nodded and then added, "Right, Manshu just sent me a Weixun message, saying she wants to take us out for dinner tonight. Why don't we invite her over too? It'd be a good opportunity to discuss things about her sister and Hao!"
"I think that's a good idea."
"This matter needs to be made clear sooner or later!"
Li Baojun agreed with a nod, while Li Manni felt a bit embarrassed on the side.
She suddenly understood why her brother-in-law had spent so much money.
He was paving the way for their relationship with spending power!
And it was working remarkably well!
Just yesterday, both her parents were opposed to her relationship with her brother-in-law.
Now their attitude had made a huge turnabout!
They were actively seeking to discuss the matter with her sister, and from their parents' point of view, they were clearing obstacles for her!!
