After parting ways with Wei Xun, Lin Mi found a quiet spot before finally relaxing.
With the mission complete, she could finally take a good look at her system panel.
She had rushed to the hotel early in the morning to wait for the incident, and hadn’t even had time to complete her daily sign-in task.
She immediately entered her system page and tapped today’s sign-in.
【Ding! Sign-in successful! You have received ¥2000 in cash, deposited into your system wallet! Energy +10!】
Wallet balance: ¥18,243,100
Energy: 955 points
“Great, another day of earning money while lying down!”
Holding her phone, Lin Mi smiled happily. Compared to eighteen million, two thousand yuan was nothing, but she was still thrilled.
It was money she didn’t have to work for—just waking up could earn her this amount.
How could she not be happy?
In the past, she worked overtime every day for an entire month just to earn four or five thousand.
Now she got two thousand just from signing in.
Looking at the eighteen million sitting in her account, Lin Mi took a deep breath.
This wasn’t just a string of numbers anymore—it was real capital to change her future.
Since she was now wealthy, the first thing to solve was her housing situation.
Her current rental was in an old neighborhood with poor safety. She would need to pay rent again at the end of the month. So it was time to buy her own place instead of continuing to rent.
If she had money, why should she wrong herself?
A house was a fixed asset and a necessity.
And once she had her own place, she could bring her parents to the provincial capital.
With that in mind, Lin Mi quickly switched to her browser and began searching for good properties.
She didn’t have the time or energy to deal with renovations, and she wanted to move before her next rent payment was due.
So she planned to buy a fully furnished apartment she could move into immediately.
Soon, she shortlisted several developments in good areas with excellent surroundings and complete facilities.
Since she was now a “jobless free person,” she had plenty of time.
Without hesitation, she booked a ride and headed to look for herself.
The first sales center was in the southern part of downtown—convenient transportation and great facilities.
The moment she stepped into the bright and spacious lobby, she was attracted by the beautiful models and posters.
The place was full of people, especially around the sand table model where many gathered to take a closer look.
Lin Mi had just walked toward it when she sensed a few cold, dismissive glances.
She was dressed very simply today, without makeup—like an ordinary fresh graduate.
Among the well-dressed clients in the sales center, she indeed looked out of place.
She glanced around. Many salespeople were busy attending to customers, while the ones who were free were chatting.
No one bothered to greet her.
She approached a sand table and studied the layout and design.
Finally, a salesperson in a suit came over.
She looked Lin Mi up and down with a barely concealed hint of contempt.
“Hello, are you here to look at apartments?”
Her tone was polite, but her face lacked enthusiasm.
“Yes, I’d like to know the apartment types and prices here,” Lin Mi replied with a smile.
The salesperson tugged at the corner of her mouth in a forced smile.
“Our cheapest unit starts at over twenty thousand per square meter. Are you looking at a large apartment or a small one?”
She clearly assumed Lin Mi was just browsing and spoke with thinly veiled perfunctoriness.
Lin Mi easily noticed the attitude but didn’t mind.
This world judged by appearances—nothing new.
She pointed at a certain building on the sand table.
“How’s the lighting for this one? Is there a show unit available?”
The salesperson glanced at it and replied casually,
“These units are large. The smallest is 140 square meters. Total price is over three million. The show unit is on the top floor and requires an appointment.”
Her gaze fell on Lin Mi again, clearly doubting that she could afford it.
“Over three million…”
Lin Mi considered it.
This price was completely manageable for her now.
The development belonged to a big company with excellent facilities, and their unit designs really were appealing.
She was only thinking that spending such a large chunk at once might slow down her capital accumulation.
Just as she was about to say she wanted to make an appointment, the salesperson cut her off.
“Miss, these apartments are fully furnished with guaranteed quality. But for young people like you, if you’re on a tighter budget, we also have more affordable projects nearby.”
Her tone pretended to be considerate, but every word carried arrogance and disdain.
“… ”
Lin Mi’s smile froze.
She didn’t expect to encounter this cliché drama in real life.
And she worked in the service industry herself!
The salesperson’s professionalism was appalling.
“Thank you for the suggestion,” Lin Mi replied calmly.
“But I came here today to look at these units. As a salesperson, your job is to introduce the property. Whether I can afford it is my concern.”
The salesperson choked, not expecting this young girl to talk back so directly.
Wasn’t youth supposed to mean being timid?
But with other clients around, she couldn’t argue.
She reluctantly took a brochure, flipped to the page of the large units, and began introducing it at lightning speed—clearly wishing to get rid of her as soon as possible.
She didn’t even intend to take Lin Mi to see the show unit.
Lin Mi took a deep breath, calming her mood.
She didn’t need to stoop to this person’s level.
Talking was pointless— real strength was the best way to slap a face.
“Alright, I’ll look at it myself.”
If the salesperson wanted to be lazy, she wouldn’t waste her time either.
“Hmph, dressed like that and pretending to buy a house? I don’t even want to waste time on you…”
The woman muttered quietly as she walked away, annoyed.
“…”
Lin Mi scoffed lightly.
She couldn’t be bothered.
In this world, money spoke louder than anything else.
She didn’t need to prove her wealth to anyone.
She turned to another display board and began studying the floor plans and price charts seriously.
