Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Half a month left!

At that time, the entire world would undergo a huge change.

When the monsters descended, any tall building would be reduced to dust under their attacks!

Not to mention housing.

So if he didn’t sell it now, what was he waiting for?

Lin Chen’s house was a school district house.

The city he was in was considered a second-tier city, Dragon Sea City!

But the housing prices here were not cheap either.

Lin Chen immediately went to find an intermediary.

When they heard that a house in the good school district was going to be sold, those intermediaries were very excited.

It was a house in the good school district of Dragon Sea City!

That would be too popular.

As soon as the news of the house was released, several people came to ask about it. In the end, someone quickly gave Lin Chen a satisfactory price.

Three million!

This price was more than enough in Dragon Sea City.

Moreover, the other party was in a hurry.

It was said that the buyer’s daughter was about to enter a school across from Lin Chen’s district next semester.

The other party had paid for the house fully in cash.

However, he still needed to draft the contract, including the intermediary fees, transfer procedures, and fee settlement. The earliest he could complete the transaction was tomorrow. Lin Chen was not in a hurry to do it today.

Because…

He still had many things to do!

First of all, he needed to take out loans!

The house was still in Lin Chen’s hands.

He entered the house’s information.

Including his personal information.

Soon, many apps on the phone gave out estimates.

Lin Chen obtained more than a million from loans!

But it wasn’t enough!

There was no longer any money to be obtained from loans on cell phone apps?

Not a problem!

Lin Chen still had other ways.

He took a taxi and arrived at a dark alley.

This was a place of corruption in Dragon Sea City. There were all kinds of people here.

One of them, a local tyrant called Brother Tiger, opened a shop here.

Although it was a supermarket outside, it was a small gambling den inside.

Brother Tiger’s main business was to lend money to others.

Lin Chen was a local.

He also owned a house.

Since he wanted to borrow money, he was naturally able to meet Brother Tiger quickly.

“How much do you need to borrow?”

Brother Tiger was very direct. He looked straight at Lin Chen and scrutinized him.

He was a veteran.

In fact, people who did business like him wouldn’t accept just anyone.

They were not afraid of those people who could not afford to pay them back.

What they were afraid of was that the other party would have nothing but a rotten life.

In the end, if the person could not pay up, it would be useless even if he killed the other party.

That would even burden him with the crime of taking a life.

However, it was obvious that Lin Chen was not the kind of person who had a rotten life.

Moreover, Lin Chen had a house!

A house in the good school district of Dragon Sea City!

It was definitely a hot commodity.

It was a very good property.

Lin Chen pretended to be relaxed and said, “The amount I want to borrow is not small… I’ve long heard of Brother Tiger’s name, and I know the rules here! However, I urgently need two million now. I’ll be able to recover my capital in three months at the earliest.”

“Two million?”

Brother Tiger was shocked.

What kind of bull was this? He dared to ask for two million?

“I have a house in Jianing District. It’s in the good school district,” Lin Chen said.

This time, Brother Tiger’s eyes lit up, but his face quickly turned cold. “Little kid, you don’t understand the rules, right? You have to let your parents mortgage the house.”

“My parents are gone. I’m the only one in the household register,” Lin Chen said as he took out the household register.

Seeing this, Brother Tiger was slightly stunned.

Then, he looked at the person beside him.

A lackey walked over and took the household register to the computer.

Soon, the lackey returned and nodded at Brother Tiger.

It meant that there was no problem.

It was true.

Brother Tiger returned the register to Lin Chen.

However, Brother Tiger’s action was not to reject Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was not nervous at all.

He knew Brother Tiger’s name.

In the entire Dragon Sea City, he was considered a famous ruffian.

Moreover, when borrowing money from him, he would never ask for anything as collateral.

For example, he didn’t want any car documents or real estate certificates.

He only wanted you to prove that these things were all yours!

Brother Tiger once said, “I’m not afraid that you won’t return the money or won’t use anything to repay your debt!”

That was how confident he was!

Lin Chen’s household register was in Dragon Sea City.

Moreover, he was still a student. Brother Tiger wasn’t afraid that Lin Chen would run away.

Lin Chen had something of enough value in his hands.

Brother Tiger could loan this money.

‘But…’

“1.6 million.”

Brother Tiger immediately lowered the price. “For the first two months, I won’t charge you any interest. After three months, you’ll return two million yuan directly. If you can’t pay it back, transfer the house to me. If you agree, I’ll transfer the money to you immediately!”

“You don’t need to write a contract?” Lin Chen was a little surprised.

“Contract?”

Brother Tiger smiled coldly. “I don’t even want your property deed. Is such a thing useful? But… kid, don’t have any bad ideas. Everyone in Dragon Sea City knows my name. If you want to renege on your debt from me, be careful not to lose anyone on your household register!”

“But, I want two million…”

Lin Chen seemed to be in a difficult position, but under Brother Tiger’s cold gaze, he could only pretend to compromise and say, “Alright, 1.6 million it is! I’ll return it to you in three months!”

…

Lin Chen could not believe that it would go so smoothly after leaving Brother Tiger’s place.

On his phone, Brother Tiger had really transferred a sum of money to him.

1.6 million!

If he borrowed it for three months, he would have to return two million!

How black-hearted.

But Lin Chen didn’t care anymore.

‘Three months?’

Haha…

After half a month, no one would be able find him regarding the money.

Lin Chen took a taxi home without any mental pressure.

When he got out of the car at the neighborhood, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

A white van followed him all the way.

When Lin Chen turned around, the other party did not dodge. Instead, he rolled down the window and waved at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen recognized one of them…

He was Brother Tiger’s underling!

Good God.

No wonder he didn’t want any collateral, not even a receipt.

So this was how Brother Tiger loaned money to others… After loaning money, he sent his lackeys to follow him all day long?

Lin Chen ignored them.

Lin Chen did not log into the game as soon as he returned to his room.

He made a call first.

Beep beep beep.

The call was picked up.

“Hello? Lin Chen, what’s the matter?”

Lin Chen’s classmate Zhang Chunlin’s voice came from the phone.

There was also the sound of typing on the keyboard.

Lin Chen smiled and said, “Fatty Zhang, you’ve been busy these past two days, haven’t you?”

“You know it, you’re an old gamer in New World. As a businessman in New World, I’m not just busy now. Let me tell you, I can only say that I’m in a terrible fix… It’s terrible!” Zhang Chunlin replied.

He and Lin Chen were both in their third year of university.

However, Zhang Chunlin was very capable.

Lin Chen remembered that in his freshman year, Zhang Chunlin was still the same as Lin Chen. He was just a newbie in New World. In the second semester of his freshman year, Zhang Chunlin became a professional businessman in the game.

He even opened the largest shop in New World.

The business covered almost all aspects of the game!

Zhang Chunlin also relied on this game to accumulate tens of millions in just two years.

But this time, Zhang Chunlin was at a disadvantage.

With the announcement of the closure of New World, all kinds of game items plummeted in value!

A game merchant like Zhang Chunlin had at least a few hundred warehouses worth of goods. Now, they were probably all going to go to waste…

He would lose everything!

Although Zhang Chunlin would not be in debt if he started selling now, he would still definitely return to being broke overnight.

“Fatty Zhang, I won’t waste any words with you. You’re busy now, so I’ll just say it.”

Lin Chen did not beat around the bush and said directly, “I came to look for you to help you to cut your losses in time. Let’s put it this way. Can you get a billion gold coins? According to the current market price, I will purchase all of them from you.”

“Damn, one billion gold coins, are you serious?”

When Zhang Chunlin heard this, he immediately became interested.

“I’m serious!”

“Why?”

Zhang Chunlin didn’t understand.

Wasn’t everyone selling now?

Why was Lin Chen buying?

“You also know that I have a girlfriend in the game. Originally, I planned to sell my account directly, but she said that this game was her memory. She didn’t want to sell it and wanted to play until the last moment… She even wanted to take a look at many maps that she had never been to.”

With his experience on the forum last night, Lin Chen no longer wanted to be a good person.

He immediately found a very reasonable excuse for his actions…

Why?

Because of love!

What a good reason!

“Kid, you’re indeed a romantic!” Zhang Chunlin was amused.

Lin Chen immediately said, “Actually, that’s not entirely true! We’ve played this game for a long time. It’s impossible to say that we don’t have feelings for each other. Anyway, the prices of goods have plummeted. In the past, we couldn’t get certain equipment and pets even if we wanted them. Now that we can get them with some money, we want to experience what it feels like to be a top-notch tycoon. At the very least, we won’t have any regrets, right?”

“Yes, that makes sense.”

Zhang Chunlin was also an old player in this game, so he was somewhat in agreement with feelings of nostalgia. He even smiled and said, “Then do you think I should get a set of top-notch equipment to play with? Anyway, it’s already like this now, haha… Alright, I understand what you mean. So, you want gold coins now?”

“Equipment is fine too. There are also rare pet eggs, golden pet eggs, and so on… By the way, I remember that you’re also in the fashion business, right? Has the price of fashion items fallen too?” Lin Chen asked.

Cosmetic items!

There were also all kinds of good-looking fashions in New World.

However, these kind of things were only for enticing young women to spend money in the game.

There were no attribute bonuses.

However, Lin Chen planned to buy all the clothes.

Why?

First of all, the prices for these clothes were actually not expensive even before.

After New World announced its suspension, the price plummeted. Many people sold it at a low price, and it did not cost much to buy it.

Secondly, although these clothes did not have any attributes, they had one characteristic… they would never be damaged!

What did that mean?

For example, if you encountered a Fire Mage and were hit by the opponent’s Fireball, any equipment could be burned, lose durability, or even be severely damaged, and your clothes would not cover your body… Although you could repair it after the battle ended, it was still very ugly and awkward at that time.

But not fashion items!

When the game’s descent arrived, everything in the game would descend.

In other words, these clothes that would never wear out would continue to maintain this characteristic.

Then they would become very powerful!

He would never have to worry that his clothes would suddenly be torn when he fought in reality.
