Gold medal real estate agency
Before arriving, Lin Yuan had already decided which house to recommend.
Although there were some twists and turns in between, the final outcome remained unchanged.
After a brief exchange, Lin Yuan learned that the burly man's name was Zhang Long.
Lin Yuan drove with a few people to the real estate agency to pick up the keys and view the house.
The boss's mouth nearly split into a smile the moment he saw Lin Yuan bring people over, bustling to serve tea and water.
However, he was puzzled as to what kind of house would meet the Client's requirements.
So he specifically leaned in close to Lin Yuan and quietly asked, "Lin Yuan, have you decided which house to recommend to him?"
Lin Yuan took a sip of tea, smiled, and nodded, "Later, give me the keys to Old Zhang's house."
At these words, the boss was instantly dumbfounded.
He couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Are you kidding? That house can be sold?"
"I only took his house in the first place because I felt sorry for him; that house is completely uninhabitable now."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression didn't change in the slightest; he shrugged and replied indifferently, "It's fine, just give me the keys, and you can collect the money."
"Ah, this..." Seeing that Lin Yuan was determined, the boss didn't know what else to say and could only obediently go look for the keys.
But he hadn't paid any attention to Old Zhang's keys at all, and it took him a full half-hour to find them.
Lin Yuan looked at the old-fashioned, almost polished keys the boss handed over, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He put them in his pocket and looked at Zhang Long, greeting him, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the house."
"Alrighty!"
Everyone drove towards the destination excitedly.
However, as they drove, Zhang Long seemed to feel something was off.
He asked suspiciously, "Are we going to a very remote place?"
Lin Yuan nodded while driving, "Didn't you say you wanted a good, quiet environment? There's nothing like that in the city."
"That's true~" Zhang Long nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any further questions.
But as time passed, the car gradually transitioned from asphalt roads to cement roads.
Then from cement roads to gravel roads.
The green belts on both sides also gradually turned into endless rice paddies.
All around were towering mountains that reached into the clouds.
Zhang Long finally realized something was wrong and asked in a daze, "W-where are we going? You're not going to drag me into some mountain hollow, are you? We've been driving for over an hour now."
"Almost there, almost there!" Lin Yuan said with a smile, comforting him, "We'll be there soon."
"Oh, oh~"
However, another ten minutes passed.
Looking at the dust kicked up by the tires outside the car window, Zhang Long's heart sank.
He no longer held any hope, patiently waiting throughout the journey.
Finally, ten minutes later, the car slowly came to a stop.
Looking at the faint signal on his phone, Zhang Long got out and looked around.
And surprisingly, the scenery was indeed very good, surrounded by mountains, lush and green, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.
Not far away, a village appeared before everyone's eyes.
It looked like about a dozen households, all red-brick and tile-roofed houses.
At the entrance of the village, there was a stream flowing gently.
In front of the stream was an endless grassland, where many cattle and sheep were resting at the moment.
Such a sight stunned not only Zhang Long and the others but also the netizens in the live broadcast room.
This was not a remote, impoverished area; it was simply a fairyland on earth.

— [Oh my god, is this really the human world? I finally understand what Tao Yuanming's Utopia looked like. If I could live in this place, I'd be happy even without internet or electricity.]
— [Come to our Western Regions, and you'll see this kind of scenery everywhere. It's just that this place is indeed very remote, truly far from the madding crowd.]
— [I just want to know if there are any fish in that little stream. If there are fish, I could stay in this place my whole life.]
— [You're all bragging. If you were really made to stay in a place like this, you wouldn't be able to stand it once the novelty wore off.]
Lin Yuan led Zhang Long along the winding path, through the grassland, across the stream, and into the village.
Since it was already afternoon, many villagers were out farming, all of them elderly.
Noticing a group of young people entering the village, they all stopped what they were doing and looked over curiously.
Lin Yuan looked at the elder closest to them and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, could you tell me where Old Zhang's house is?"
"What? Old Zhang? His house... it's on the far right of the village, the abandoned one is his house."
"Okay, thank you!"
With the directions, everyone walked in the direction the old man indicated.
Two minutes later, a dilapidated house appeared before everyone.
The front wattle fence courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and many parts had already collapsed.
The courtyard was a mess, overgrown with weeds, and when people approached, several chickens and ducks scurried out.
Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Here! This is the house I recommended to you. How is it? Good environment, right? And it's quiet."
Zhang Long looked at the dilapidated house in front of him, his face twitching uncontrollably: "This house is probably older than me, isn't it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan quickly explained, "You don't understand this, do you? This house has nurtured several PhDs. It's a classic old residence, a scholarly family, where you can feel the inherited cultural atmosphere."
"This, this, this..." Zhang Long glanced at the mountain behind him, recalled the hardships of the journey, and replied with a bitter face, "The main thing is that it's too inconvenient. It's dozens of kilometers from the city, and a round trip takes two hours."
"NONONO! Far from the bustling city, enjoying a secluded sanctuary, it better understands the heart that transcends the mundane."
Hearing this reply, not only Zhang Long but also the Photographer and others were all dumbfounded.
Goodness, you certainly understand the art of language.
You can talk black into white.
At first glance, one might think it was some high-end house.
Zhang Long looked at the collapsed wattle fence courtyard again, then at the cracks on the house, and said helplessly, "This house is old and in disrepair; many places are broken. I'm afraid I'll be crushed to death if I live in it."
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan explained, "Post-modern Syrian destructionism style, gilded years, dedicated only to those with stories."
"Then there are people raising chickens and ducks in this courtyard; it's probably full of shit inside."
"An original ecological courtyard, gathering countless affections, where humans and nature coexist harmoniously."
"Pfft~" Zhang Long collapsed; he realized he couldn't say any more.
If he continued, no matter what he said, he couldn't refuse the fate of buying it.
Suddenly!
He saw rows of graves behind the house, and his head immediately buzzed.
He pointed there with a wry smile and said, "These... these are all cemeteries, right? Oh my god, living here, won't it be haunted at night?"
Lin Yuan's expression changed in surprise upon hearing this, and he turned his head to glance.
Those mounds of earth looked like they had quite a history.
Damn, this is truly creepy enough.
However, Lin Yuan quickly thought of a retort: "What's this? Adjoining Xian County, listening to the voices of souls."
"If it's a female ghost, you can even thank nature for its gift."
"Holy crap!" The Photographer finally couldn't take it anymore and blurted out a curse on the spot.
Zhang Long was also shocked by Lin Yuan's words.
Good heavens, for a talent like you to withdraw from the literary world, it would truly be a loss to the literary community.
This is more than just talking black into white.
It's simply creating something out of nothing!
