Chapter 2093 - 2094: Lin Chen’s Influence
After Lin Chen finished paying, he now had the right to use the virtual watch.He still had more than nine million starcoins left on the books, and now he had two things to do, one of which was to find a place to live.
As for his place to live, Lin Chen planned to spend more money; at the very least, it had to come with a cultivation room for training.
On Luosen Planet, only powerful great families and academy or government institutions had gravity rooms; ordinary families could forget about it.
But it was different on Luoka Planet. This was a Level Five planet, and while buying a room with a gravity chamber wasn't easy, it wasn't impossible either.
"Boss just bought a place, now we're short on money again."
Lin Chen nodded. "Yeah, we have to find a way to make some money. After all, we can't not pay the dean back."
"Haha, now we can connect to the Cosmic StarNet. As long as our strength goes up, making money will be as easy as flipping a hand." Little Shuai laughed.
Lin Chen nodded and walked to a place that sold houses.
There were quite a few people here looking at properties.
The other party glanced at Lin Chen's ID and frowned. "You're here for recruitment, right? Recruitment is on the second floor."
"Recruitment?" Lin Chen froze for a second. Turned out there was a recruitment notice posted at the entrance.
Right at that moment, a mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind him. "Yo, isn't this that loser we ran into on the spaceship? What, you came here to look for a job?"
Lin Chen's gaze turned cold as he saw that the guy behind him was the one he'd met on the spaceship.
"I'm here to buy a house," Lin Chen said calmly.
"Buy a house? Hahaha, kid, don't joke around. Look at this place, the cheapest unit here is over three million starcoins. You can afford that?" the sales agent sneered.
Lin Chen was speechless that he was actually being laughed at.
Looks like snobs are everywhere.
"Harry, who is he?" the girl next to the young man asked curiously.
Harry sneered. "I ran into this guy on the ship. He's a third-class citizen."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Haha, still pretending to show off about buying a house? I bet he's really here for the job." The girl laughed.
The two of them walked off together as they talked. Even though they were badmouthing Lin Chen, their voices were very loud, clearly wanting everyone else to hear.
Seeing the two of them leave, the sales agent became even more certain that Lin Chen was here to apply for a job.
"Enough, you don't need to keep pretending. Recruitment is upstairs. Don't make trouble down here."
Just then, a fat man with his arm around a woman walked in.
Seeing the fat man, the sales agent's face instantly switched from sour to a fawning smile. "Mr. Il, you're finally here. I kept that unit from last time aside just for you."
With that, the salesgirl ignored Lin Chen and went over to introduce the properties to the fat man instead.
"Snob." Lin Chen snorted coldly and headed toward the sales hall on his own.
Once inside the sales hall, Lin Chen went straight to check out the properties that came with a gravity room.
At this time, Harry and his girlfriend were also looking at houses. They were looking at a unit that cost just over three million.
But Lin Chen was actually looking at one that cost over seven million.
Harry's girlfriend nudged him. "Look, that guy's actually looking at a seven-million-plus unit with a gravity room."
"Heh, he's just putting on an act. After he looks, you think he can actually buy it?" Harry snorted.
Just then, the salesgirl who had finished dealing with the fat man noticed that Lin Chen was still there, and she immediately frowned.
"You again? Didn't I tell you? Recruitment is upstairs. What are you wandering around here for?"
Lin Chen frowned. "I'm looking at houses."
"Looking at houses? This unit is over seven million. You think you can afford it?" the sales agent snorted.
"Which eye of yours saw that I can't afford it?" Lin Chen's gaze went cold.
This salesgirl was really obnoxious—she'd been looking down on him from the very beginning.
"Hmph, you're a third-class citizen. I'd be shocked if you could afford this place," the sales agent said icily.
Their argument had already drawn quite a crowd.
At this moment, the salesgirl frowned and shouted toward the entrance, "Security, throw this kid out for me."
Two security guards quickly walked over.
Just then, a man in a work uniform squeezed through the crowd and asked, "What's going on?"
The salesgirl pointed at Lin Chen. "Manager, this guy's here making trouble."
As soon as he saw the manager, Lin Chen instantly let his world-crushing aura surge out.
The manager was just about to speak when he suddenly felt a suffocating pressure. When he looked at Lin Chen again, his expression had already turned rather ugly.
"Hello, sir. Do you have any requests?" the manager asked respectfully.
Seeing the manager actually speak to Lin Chen so politely, the staffer said angrily, "Manager, this guy is a third-class citizen. Why are you being so polite to him?"
"Shut up!" The manager glared fiercely at the staffer.
Damn it, a third-class citizen? How could a third-class citizen have such terrifying presence?
This guy was clearly a super expert pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
By now, sweat had already broken out on the manager's forehead.
If they offended a super expert like this, he might not even know how he died.
Lin Chen said flatly, "This salesgirl said I'm not qualified to buy here. What do you think?"
The manager's face changed, and he turned to the staffer. "Aisha, you're fired."
"What?" Aisha was instantly dumbfounded.
This job had been very hard for her to land. Not only were the benefits great, it was also very prestigious.
Yet just because she had offended a third-class citizen, the manager was actually firing her.
This was something she never would have imagined.
The manager's face was dark. "Security, throw her out."
The two security guards hesitated for a moment, then dragged the female employee out and tossed her outside.
Only after seeing the female employee thrown out did the manager finally let out a long breath and ask, "Sir, are you satisfied with this handling?"
Lin Chen nodded. "Mm. By the way, I want to buy this unit."
"Oh, this unit is one of our main promotional layouts. It comes with a hundred-times gravity room. If you like it, sir, I can sell it to you at our internal price—thirty percent off."
The moment the manager's words left his mouth, everyone was stunned.
Thirty percent off. You had to know, when they bought these places, there wasn't a single cent discount.
Harry, off to the side, was even more dumbstruck. He never in his wildest dreams imagined that Lin Chen actually had this much pull, that he could make the manager offer a thirty percent discount right off the bat.
Lin Chen looked at the house without saying anything. In fact, he was thinking about how he should decorate the place in the future.
Seeing that Lin Chen seemed dissatisfied, the manager hurriedly said, "How about this—forty percent off!"
At this moment, Harry and all the other guests were completely shocked.
Forty percent off? That was way too much face.
Only then did Lin Chen nod. "Manager, thank you. I'll remember this favor."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the manager's face lit up with wild joy. Being remembered by a super expert like this was an enormous opportunity.
