Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 753: See You Tomorrow (New Book Content)

As long as my actions adhere to the school's regulations, there's nothing to worry about.

...

...

"Mr. Li, this residential area was built in 2003, well-equipped, with convenient shopping and grocery options nearby, plus it's in a school district. The most important thing is it's only a ten-minute walk to the subway. The most crucial point is that because it's the top floor, it includes an attic with the same surface area, and there's even a small rooftop outside the attic. A layout like this, for less than 600,000, is a great deal!"

A recently graduated young woman beside him, wearing professional attire with light makeup, trying hard to appear mature, made Li Qing quite sentimental.

He went through the same thing back in the day.

Li Qing wasn't convinced, looking around. He had seen over a dozen second-hand houses, but this place had a great location, the price was low, and it was a spacious 90 square meters.

However, Li Qing always believed that there are no free lunches, and that behind all seemingly great things lurk extremely cruel ones.

Every time he encountered such situations, like the time two years ago when a very cute girl approached him, and ultimately her purpose was to use him as an ATM.

It was really sad, too long a story to tell, and very painful.

In summary, when you give your all to someone, and they devalue everything about you just to use you as an ATM, that feeling is really frustrating.

Beside him, the real estate agent named Zhang Li chuckled, "What do you think, Mr. Li? The most important thing is, the place is well-renovated, with solid wood floors. You can just move right in with your bags!"

Li Qing, a bit frustrated, said, "Tell me, why is it so cheap? I think a place like this should at least be 1.5 million, right?"

Zhang Li casually responded, "This is a foreclosure house, so you know…"

Li Qing snorted, "Don't give me that nonsense, I know Shu Capital housing prices. Even second-hand homes start at 10,000 per square meter, and that's for bad locations. If you don't tell the truth, I'm leaving!"

Zhang Li's face fell, muttering with frustration, "It's all my colleagues' fault. When they heard you'd be looking at this house, they all pushed it onto me."

"You'll get past this stage. It's impossible for a newbie just entering society to compare with the seasoned veterans. It's always like this; they take all the good jobs, leaving the dirty and exhausting ones to you. If you don't want to quit, you just have to go through this period," Li Qing comforted her, then seriously asked, "What's wrong with this house that it's selling so cheap?"

Zhang Li looked around nervously, then whispered, "I heard… this house is haunted!"

"Haunted?"

Li Qing laughed, scanning the sunlit living room, surprised, "You're telling me this house is haunted?"

Zhang Li repeatedly nodded, a bit nervous, her eyes darting around, fearful that someone might suddenly appear from somewhere.

"I heard from colleagues that the previous owner was a girl who was PUA'd by a jerk. She fell deeply into it but rejected the guy's advances because she had strict family teachings and wanted to save herself for her wedding night. The jerk dumped her, and she hanged herself in the attic. Since then, strange incidents have been happening in the house."

Li Qing found it somewhat amusing.

"This story sounds pretty soap-opera-ish."

"That's confirmed. Who hasn't encountered a few jerks nowadays?"

Suddenly, Zhang Li realized what she said, repeatedly apologizing, hands in a prayer-like gesture, bowing around.

Then, turning to Li Qing, quite embarrassed, she said, "In fact, many people who come to look at houses are attracted by the low price and check this house out, but they don't like that someone died here. Besides… this room is quite strange! Why don't we check out some other places? Although the price isn't as low, there are many good houses available, enough to meet essential needs."

Seeing Zhang Li's earnestness, Li Qing fell into thought. If he hadn't encountered magic and learned it, he would definitely avoid such houses since many things are hard to explain.

The main thing is, if even the real estate agent doesn't recommend it, and you're stubborn enough to go for it, you end up suffering the loss. Such a low price indicates a lot of problems.

After thinking for a while, Li Qing spoke up, "How about we check out the attic?"

"The attic??!!"

Zhang Li looked serious, "Mr. Li, I think we better not court disaster!"

Li Qing curiously asked, "Hey, aren't girls usually curious about new things? Why do you seem so unwilling to even get close?"

Zhang Li corrected him, "Mr. Li, you're stereotyping women. I admit many women are a bit silly sometimes, but so are many men, and I'm a normal woman!"

"Alright, alright."

Li Qing gestured with his hands, "Then let's check out the attic."

Seeing Zhang Li hesitate, Li Qing waved her off, "Okay, you stay here. I'm going up to have a look."

Seeing Li Qing look like he was willingly courting disaster, Zhang Li swallowed her saliva, looking like a person giving last advice to someone doomed.

"Well then, Mr. Li, I'll wait for you down here."

"Your words are creepy."

Casually replying, Li Qing headed to the entrance, opened the attic's ladder, and climbed up.

The attic wasn't as dark as Li Qing imagined. On the contrary, due to the four slanted skylights above, the entire attic was exceptionally bright.

Unobstructed view, higher in the middle, lower on the sides, a typical attic layout.

Due to its clean state, the warm-toned floor looked quite comfortable. He walked to the end, opened the front attic door, and saw a roughly 20-square-meter rooftop.

From here, you could overlook the city before you, an expansive view, as those high-rise buildings were at a considerable distance.

Wow, the more Li Qing looked, the more he liked it. If not for the ghost rumors and the fact someone died here, it could easily sell for two million.

Getting it for just 600,000…

It's really cheap, many might purchase it with a stroke of luck, if only someone hadn't died here recently.

After wandering around and confirming nothing was wrong, Li Qing was about to head down when he suddenly felt a slight chill on his back, a cold sensation creeping unexpectedly from his tailbone.

He paused, abruptly turning to look at the attic. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

There was nothing unusual, the attic door and windows were all tightly shut.

So where did that cold breeze come from?

Could there really be?!

Li Qing's eye twitched slightly, his expression forcibly calm, confirming there were no abnormalities. Only then did he go down the attic, moved the ladder back up, and closed the top board.
