Chapter 4 Selling land deeds, perfecting boxing skills
Early next morning.
A ray of sunshine shines on the earth, and a new day arrives.
Su Chen got up early, washed up briefly, and left without even eating breakfast.
Vendors were already selling on the street one after another, and he found a breakfast stall to make a simple meal.
Then he turned east and west to another less populated street.
Pingsan Street.
There is a pawn shop here called "Han's Pawn Shop".
After holding the land deed in his arms, Su Chen's eyes gradually became firm.
The purpose of his trip was to sell the land title.
With his current strength, there is no question whether he can keep the house or not. He might as well sell it in exchange for money and increase his own strength.
"Han's Pawn Shop has been rooted here since I can remember. It is quite famous in the nearby area."
"Being able to survive in an outer city full of gangs obviously means you have some ability."
"There are rumors that there is someone above the pawn shop."
Standing in front of the pawn shop, Su Chen thought about the information he had found.
Rumors circulated that gangs were changing, but Han's Pawnshop remained unchanged.
Although it is an exaggeration, it is enough to show that the power behind Han's Pawnshop is very powerful and is not afraid of the Blackwater Gang.
After hesitating for a few moments, Su Chen walked into the pawn shop. Although it was early morning, there was a queue early at the pawn shop window.
"They are also here to pawn the deed?"
Su Chen lined up at the back and accidentally caught a glimpse of the land deeds held by the three people in front.
It seemed that he had the same intention as Su Chen to sell the land deed.
These people are all better dressed than him.
"You want to sell the land deed? Show me your certificate."
The shopkeeper, who had a mustache, took the certificate and title deed from the first customer, which contained information about the house.
"Shopkeeper, my house is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It's a good place."
Seeing that the shopkeeper didn't speak for a long time, the old man hesitated and said something.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked up at the other party and asked casually: "What price do you want to sell it for?"
"At least twenty taels!" the old man replied immediately.
"Twenty taels?" The shopkeeper sneered, "A smelly ditch and a small hill are also worth twenty taels?"
"this……"
The old man was a little panicked, but was quickly interrupted by the shopkeeper impatiently: "Let's make a compromise, ten taels of silver, sell it or not."
Finally, the old man gritted his teeth and agreed to the deal, and the two parties signed a contract.
"You also want to sell the land deed?"
Soon it was the second customer's turn, and the shopkeeper saw the land deed in his hand at a glance.
The big man nodded, took out the voucher and handed it to the shopkeeper, and then said: "Master, I am different from him. My house is far away from the hustle and bustle and close to nature. It is a summer resort. It is suitable for those noble gentlemen to live and go hunting."
As he spoke, he held three fingers deep: "So it will be a little more expensive, thirty taels."
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper still sneered and replied: "The location is remote and uninhabited, and those noble gentlemen will not like it. The compromise is fifteen taels, do you want to sell it?"
"Master, this is a good location, twenty taels, I will sell it for twenty taels." The big man suddenly became anxious.
The shopkeeper didn't speak, but silently handed back the voucher.
Seeing this, the big man opened his mouth, and finally said two words helplessly: "I sell."
"Next."
The transaction between the two was completed quickly, and it was the turn of the guest in front of Su Chen.
He stepped forward and took out the voucher. The hands holding it were trembling slightly.
Apparently the shopkeeper's two price bargains made him feel bad.
"Shopkeeper, I, my house has smooth traffic and is connected in all directions. It is located in the market. It is a good place for doing business. The shops there can make money."
"Oh, how much does it cost?"
"Thirty...oh no, forty taels!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper shook his head: "The transportation is indeed convenient, but the country market and the territory as big as ants are not worth the price. At a discount of 20%, do you want to sell it for 10 taels?"
"Ten taels? If I don't sell it, I won't sell it. It's too low!"
When the man heard this, he immediately blew his beard and stared.
He saw that the shopkeeper always made compromises, so he deliberately raised the price by ten taels. As a result, the other party compromised twice and directly set the price at ten taels.
No matter how short of money he was, he couldn't sell it so cheaply, so he shook his head, put away the land deed, and turned around to leave.
Finally it was Su Chen's turn.
Su Chen took out the voucher and handed it to the other party without saying anything.
What else can be said?
What should be said about "close to mountains and rivers", "prime location" and "developed transportation" were all mentioned by the three people above.
"Huh? Don't you have anything to say?"
The shopkeeper looked at Su Chen with some confusion. The three people in front of him tried their best to introduce the benefits of the house.
When it was Su Chen's turn, he became mute, which surprised him.
When Su Chen heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "My house isn't too fancy, but...it's been spotted by the Blackwater Gang!"
"oh?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Chen in surprise, and then took the land deed and looked at it carefully.
"Pingshi Street is indeed the territory of the Blackwater Gang. Tell me, how much do you want to sell it for?"
"Twenty taels."
"It's a bit high. Can I sell it for ten taels?"
"Nineteen taels."
"Eleven taels."
"..."
After some chatting, the two parties concluded the transaction at a price of thirteen taels, paying one hand and delivering the goods on the other hand.
After walking out of the pawn shop, Su Chen already had thirteen taels of silver in his arms. He muttered softly: "Panel, recharge five taels to activate simple mode."
Then he saw that the silver in his arms suddenly dropped by five taels.
[Easy mode turned on: After twenty minutes of boxing out of thin air, you can master Iron Wire Fist to perfection. 】
Su Chen clenched his fist and punched out of thin air.
+1%
efficient.
He found a deserted place to fight and continued to punch.
+1%, +1%…
Twenty minutes later, as a soft force struck, the panel changed:
[Name: Su Chen]
[Martial Arts: Iron Thread Fist (Dacheng 1%)]
[Simple mode: Iron Fist 0 times (10 taels of silver/time)]
"Next time will it be twelve?"
When Su Chen saw the amount for turning on the simple mode next time, he was stunned and felt helpless.
All the money he had in his body, plus the money from selling the land deed, was obviously not enough to top up.
"Since it's not enough, let's keep the money for renting a house next time."
Su Chen shook his head and became aware.
Then he looked at his arm, which had changed a lot. Originally, he could only see a little bit of muscle.
But at this moment, the muscles on the arm are clearly visible even if they don't need to be clenched.
A strong sense of power surged into his arms, and his understanding of boxing became deeper.
"Eh? Why is there a light red line on my arm?"
Suddenly, Su Chen's eyes froze. The moment he contracted and relaxed his muscles, a line of blood seemed to be looming.
"Iron Line Fist, Iron Line, does it mean this blood line? I'll ask Senior Brother Li Mo when I go to the martial arts school in the afternoon."
Su Chen let go of his palms and walked towards Ya Xing.
Next, he plans to rent a house.
