Chapter 6: Chapter 5 – 1 Upgrade
The Drone Avatar’s range of operation was originally not large, with only a radius of 1 square kiloter. So when Yan Fei also heard about this urban legend of the Terror Pea, he imdiately realized what consequences his actions could lead to.
Among those attacked by the Pea Bullets, not everyone was a coward; so chose to call the police and presented the pea that attacked them as evidence. At first, the police from the nearby station didn’t take it seriously, thinking that the callers were joking. But as the number of reports increased, the police finally took notice and started patrolling and staking out the area.
It was precisely because of the discovery of police surveillance nearby that the Drone Avatar beca even more cautious, which in turn narrowed its field of operation even more. With a smaller range, it beca even harder to find targets. Thus, to address this problem, Yan Fei decided to relocate.
At night, Yan Fei drove his own minivan, with a box containing the drone inside, to the eastern side of the Shanghai city area. He found a secluded place to wait, and after midnight, he released the drone to uphold justice in this part of the city. There were no legends of the Terror Pea here, so so petty thieves appeared in the dead of night, allowing the drone to take action repeatedly, reaping a substantial harvest of 10 rit Points in one night.
This bounty excited Yan Fei trendously. The next day, he drove the minivan to the city’s west side and released the drone again, earning 9 rit Points that night. On the third day, in the city’s south side, Yan Fei earned 7 rit Points. On the fourth day, in the city’s north side, he earned 6 rit Points. By now, his Drone rit Points had reached 100, eting the requirents for a Drone Upgrade.
At one o’clock in the morning, when Yan Fei was excitedly driving back ho, he found two cars parked in the courtyard of his house, with several people standing in front of the cars smoking boredly and a pile of cigarette butts thrown on the ground, looking impatient.
Seeing Yan Fei get out of the minivan, a middle-aged man took out a photo to compare, then walked up with a smile and said, “Mr. Yan Fei, hello, I’m Zhang Baocheng, it’s a pleasure to et you!”
Yan Fei didn’t shake his hand and asked, “Who are you? Do we know each other?”
Zhang Baocheng wasn’t offended. He withdrew his hand, handed over a business card, and said, “Mr. Yan, hello, we’re from the Honglou Real Estate Company. We’re here today mainly to discuss with Mr. Yan the matter of acquiring your house.”
Yan Fei still didn’t take the business card and said, “This is my house, I own all the property rights, and I have no intention of selling it, so I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
A brawny man with a fierce appearance stepped forward from behind Zhang Baocheng and said nacingly, “What are you talking about, kid? Do you know who you’re speaking to? Daring to make Brother Cheng wait so long, are you asking for death?”
Zhang Baocheng waved his hand to stop the brawny man and said, “Manager Xie, don’t talk so loudly, you might scare Mr. Yan. Besides, we’re not the mafia, so don’t always talk about death.” Then he turned to Yan Fei and continued, “Mr. Yan, you see, we really are very sincere, otherwise we wouldn’t have waited here for so long. Won’t you even hear us out on our offer?”
Yan Fei knew that the area’s relocation news had been confird and understood that so company from who-knows-where was attempting to scoop up the place cheap. But he was curious about the current market value, so he asked, “How much are you willing to pay for my house?”
Zhang Baocheng smiled and said, “We’ve done our research. When your house was built, it cost a total of 2.5 million yuan, and the total floor area of the building is 1200 square ters, which cos to less than 2100 yuan per square ter. We’re willing to offer 3000 yuan per square ter, letting you make a profit of 900 yuan per square ter. What do you think?”
Yan Fei beca furious. It was true that building his house had cost only 2.5 million yuan, but that was 30 years ago. How could 30 years’ old value compare to today’s? Moreover, the building area might indeed be 1200 square ters, but the Courtyard was also not small, a good 50 square ters or more, yet it was completely overlooked. His house was used for rental, earning 60,000 yuan in rent monthly, adding up to over 700,000 yuan a year. What’s more, the imminent relocation would an he could at very least exchange his property for over 2000 square ters of new housing; with Shanghai’s average housing price over 50,000 yuan per square ter, that amounted to over 100 million yuan. However, the other party wanted to buy it for re 3.6 million yuan, which was plainly robbery.
Yan Fei was furious internally, but he didn’t show it and simply replied indifferently, “This house was left to by my parents and has great sentintal value to . I won’t sell it, so I apologize.”
Zhang Baocheng snorted coldly, and the muscular man ca forward, pointing at Yan Fei arrogantly and said, “Mr. Yan, it’s an honor for you that our Boss Zhang has taken a liking to your house. Don’t be ungrateful by opening your mouth too wide. I’ll lay it out here; your house will definitely beco Boss Zhang’s, because in the end, you’ll definitely sell it to us. Rember this, we will buy it no matter what. If we can’t buy it, you’ll understand just how fearso our wrath can be…”
Then Zhang Baocheng said, “Second Xie, talk nicely, why are you threatening people? Do you want others to think we’re part of the mafia?”
