Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 461: See the truth in 2 hours (Leisure new book content)

"Mr. Li, this community was established in '03 with mature facilities, convenient shopping and grocery options nearby, plus it's in a school district. Most importantly, it's only ten minutes away from the subway. The best part is, since it's the top floor, it comes with a loft of equal size, and from the loft you can access a small terrace. A layout like this, for less than six hundred thousand, is a huge bargain!"

Beside him, a very fresh-looking, recently graduated young woman in professional attire and light makeup tried hard to appear mature, which made Li Qing quite nostalgic.

He had come through this himself back in the day.

Li Qing kept silent, looking around. He had looked at over a dozen second-hand homes, and this area was the best, with a cheap price and a spacious ninety square meters.

But Li Qing always believed that there's no free lunch in the world, everything beautiful has something cruel hidden behind it.

Every time he encountered something, it turned out this way. Just like two years ago, a cute girl approached him, only to use him as a cash machine.

The matter was quite sad, to explain it would take long, and it's really hard to bear.

When you've devoted yourself completely to someone, and they devalue everything about you just to cash out, the feeling is just rough.

The nearby agent named Zhang Li smiled and said, "Mr. Li, what do you think? What's most important is the renovation here is great, with all solid wood flooring, you can basically move in with your bags packed!"

Li Qing said a bit helplessly, "Tell me why it's so cheap. I feel like a house like this should cost at least one and a half million."

Zhang Li immediately replied, "It's a foreclosure sale, so you understand."

Li Qing snorted lightly, "Don't give me that nonsense! I actually know the real estate prices in Shu Capital; even second-hand homes start at ten thousand. That's still in poorer areas. If you don't tell the truth, I'm walking!"

Zhang Li's face suddenly fell, muttering with frustration, "It's all my colleagues' fault; when they heard you were coming to see this house, they all pushed it to me."

"It's just this stage you have to get through; freshly entered rookies can't compare to veterans. It's always like this, they take all the cushy jobs, leaving the dirty and tiring ones to you. If you don't want to quit, you have to go through this kind of First Rank." Li Qing comforted her, then seriously asked, "What's wrong with this house, selling at such a low price?"

Zhang Li looked around nervously, whispered, "They say... this house is haunted!"

"Haunted?"

Li Qing chuckled, sweeping a glance around the sun-drenched living room, surprisingly asking, "Are you telling me this house is haunted?"

Zhang Li nodded repeatedly, quite tense, her eyes darting about, afraid someone would suddenly jump out from nowhere.

"I heard from colleagues, the previous owner was a girl, she was emotionally manipulated by a scumbag, deeply entrenched but her strict upbringing meant she refused to have relations, saying only on the wedding night. The scumbag dumped her, and she hung herself in the loft! Then strange things started happening in this house."

Li Qing found it a bit laughable.

"That's quite a melodramatic plot."

"Exactly, who hasn't had encounters with scumbags nowadays!"

Suddenly, Zhang Li realized, repeatedly apologized, joining hands and bowing everywhere.

Then turned to Li Qing, quite embarrassed, "A lot of people come to see the house because of the low price, but most don't like homes where someone died, and... this room indeed feels strange! How about we look elsewhere, though not as cheap, but there are still many good homes for essential needs."

Seeing Zhang Li so serious, Li Qing fell into contemplation. If he hadn't encountered Magic and started learning, he'd avoid such a home, as many things are hard to explain. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Most importantly, If the agent isn't recommending, and one charges ahead, ultimately he's the one to suffer. Such a low price signals many problems.

After pondering for a while, Li Qing spoke, "Why not check the loft?"

"Check the loft??!!"

Zhang Li said gravely, "Mr. Li, I think we shouldn't take such risks!"

Li Qing curiously asked, "Eh, aren't girls very curious about new things? Why do you seem reluctant to touch it?"

Zhang Li corrected him, "Mr. Li, you're seeing us women through tinted glasses. I admit there are many brainless types among women, but quite a few men too. I am a normal woman!"

"Alright, alright."

Li Qing made a calming gesture, "Then let's check the loft."

Seeing Zhang Li hesitating, Li Qing waved his hand, "Fine, you stay here, I'll go check."

Watching Li Qing determined to take the risk, Zhang Li swallowed, a look like cautionary words weren't enough to stop a fool.

"Then Mr. Li, I'll wait below."

"Your words send shivers."

Casually replied, Li Qing walked to the entrance, opened the loft ladder, and climbed up.

The loft wasn't as dark as Li Qing imagined. On the contrary, four skylights provided bright light throughout.

Clearly visible, high in the middle, low on the sides, a typical loft arrangement.

Due to tidy cleaning, the warm-colored flooring felt comfortable. Walking to the end, opening the loft door revealed a terrace of about twenty square meters.

From here, one could take in the city view ahead, a wide terrain with tall buildings a good distance away.

Goodness, Li Qing grew more fond; if not for rumors of haunting and death, two million wouldn't be asking too much.

Only sixty thousand to secure...

Really cheap, many might buy it daringly, unless the death happened recently.

After a circuit, certain there were no issues, Li Qing was about to descend but felt a chill on his back, as an icy cold crept up his spine.

He paused, abruptly turned to look at the loft.

Nothing unusual was visible, no anomalies, loft doors, and windows were securely closed,

So where did the cold breeze originate?

Could it really be?!

Li Qing's eye twitched slightly, maintaining composure, confirming no anomalies, descended the loft, raised the ladder, closed the top board.

A pair of pale feet abruptly appeared at the closed top board's edge, unmoving, seemingly standing for ages.

"I've decided to buy it." Li Qing clapped his hands.

Zhang Li said surprised, "Mr. Li, have you decided? Truly buying?"
