A Terrifying Night of House Hunting

Friends Bar.

"What?"

Lily was stunned and momentarily forgot to take the opportunity to discourage Marshall's house-buying plan.

"There were problems during the construction of this apartment, which caused the floor to tilt to a certain extent."

Janice said apologetically, "It's not easy to see with the naked eye, but the angle of tilt is indeed quite large. Whoever buys it will have a lot of trouble in their life."

"No way?"

Marshall looked like he was questioning the meaning of life.

This is the apartment he likes the most.

Trust the professionals.

Adam laughed and said, "What do you, a law student, know about architectural structures? And you only glanced at it?"

"But I really liked that apartment..."

Marshall hesitated.

"It doesn't matter."

Adam comforted him, "You just like nice apartments, it doesn't mean you only like this one. I'll have Janice show you a few more later, and I'm sure you'll like them too."

"Right!"

Janice laughed and said, "Let me show you more, and even if you only like this kind of decor, that's okay, there are other apartments with the same decor."

"Oh well."

Marshall wasn't saying he absolutely had to have this apartment, and after learning about its structural problems, he wouldn't buy it no matter how much he liked it.

"Janice, you're a real estate agent. Tell us about the things we should pay attention to when buying a house, so we can learn more about them."

Adam glanced at Janice: "I suppose you've noticed, we really know nothing about this."

Marshall immediately scratched his head and smiled.

He knew that although Adam was referring to everyone, he was actually talking about him, who was completely clueless and hot-headed.

"Of course, no problem."

Janice, now a real estate agent, naturally understands the benefits of building a good relationship with a billionaire like Adam, and without hesitation, she shared the key information she knew about buying a house.

"The most important thing when buying a house is location! If your financial situation allows, you should choose the best location."

Because houses in good locations generally don't have major problems as long as you can afford them.

At this point, Janice looked at Adam.

"Then what?"

Marshall understood immediately and changed the subject with a wry smile, "What if our financial situation doesn't allow us to buy the best location?"

He had naturally visited Adam's apartment as well, and in terms of liking it, it far surpassed the one he desperately wanted to buy immediately.

But liking something is one thing, being able to afford it is another.

He hadn't even considered it.

We can't possibly take on a huge loan again, work hard for half our lives to pay it off every month, and just end up buying a bathroom, can we?

Although he and Lily did like to leave traces of their affection in their own bathroom, other people's bathrooms, and public restrooms.

But living in a bathroom your whole life is a different story!

"Then we must be careful."

Janice also knew that not everyone could buy wherever they wanted like Adam, and laughed, "Before buying a house, you should first define a general area based on your work and life."

Then don't rush to buy a house. Look around more and go to the site to check it out.

At this time, safety is the most important thing.

Therefore, the key question to consider is whether there are many African American residents in this community.

If there are too many, just give up!

If there are few, they can be included in the shortlist..."

"This..."

Marshall looked conflicted.

"Janice, that's so racist."

Lily understood Marshall's thoughts and expressed her dissatisfaction.

"This is really not me being racist."

Janice looked at Adam with a wronged expression.

"It's alright, please speak freely."

Adam gave Janice an approving look.

Because he knew this was genuine, valuable information.

"Oh well."

Janice perked up and laughed, "If we weren't all Adam's friends... I would never have said these things."

When I'm out in the world, I would definitely say that it doesn't matter where I buy from; we are all happy and equal United States.

But the truth is, everyone knows that once the African American population in a community increases, the security risks in that community will rise sharply.

Therefore, you should never buy a house in such an area.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will definitely regret it to death.

Either you close your eyes forever in regret.

Either you spend the rest of your life regretting it, deeply resenting the tragedy your negligence caused your family, and you can't find peace even until your death.

"Isn't it a bit too much?"

Lily asked doubtfully, "It's not like it was bought in Brooklyn."

"You mentioned Brooklyn too."

Janice laughed and said, "Once a community has too many African Americans, what's the difference between it and Brooklyn? Isn't it just a mini Brooklyn?"

"..."

Lily was speechless.

Although they are not racist, some well-known things are deeply ingrained in their subconscious.

"Safety first."

Adam reminded them, "What is home? It's a haven of happiness! How can you be happy if you don't even have the most basic sense of security? Marshall, Lily, you must pay attention to this."

"Um."

Marshall and Lily exchanged a glance and nodded.

Although the incident was suspected of being racially discriminatory, they still appreciated Adam's concern.

"Hehe, Janice, please continue."

Adam smiled slightly.

"After the most important security issues, the rest are just details."

Janice explained, "For example, when buying a second-hand house, never be greedy for cheap prices. You should pay attention to whether there were any problems with the house before."

For example, has there been a murder in the house?

For example, is this house a large M-shaped house?

These are all very troublesome problems.

What's wrong with the M room?

Marshall, Lily, Ted exchanged glances and smiled nostalgically.

They used to hang out together in the apartment when they were in college.

Even in the original timeline, the three of them were all in their seventies or eighties in the future, and they still enjoyed themselves without their children's knowledge.

They really have no objection to this.

"It's about planting, not getting hyped."

Janice reminded her.

"Planting?"

Marshall suddenly looked enlightened and asked curiously, "Will it have any effect?"

"Let me explain this."

Adam continued, "Because it involves medicine."

Mold mites require high temperature and humidity to grow; excessive dampness in the house can cause mold growth.

Prolonged exposure to and inhalation of mold can trigger inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract and allergic laryngitis.

For example, bronchitis, tonsillitis, rheumatic fever, asthma, etc.

In severe cases, it can even lead to death.

"Wow, that's exaggerated?"

Marshall and the others couldn't believe it.

"There are real cases."

Adam said in a deep voice, "Trust me!"

"Of course we believe it."

Lily readily agreed.

Marshall and the others echoed his sentiments.

"And that's not all."

Adam laughed and said, "How do you know that these houses, which are associated with crime, might lead to serious criminal incidents?"

For example, did the previous owner leave some things in the house?

A wall of cash?

They might come back to get it at any time.

Or perhaps a wall of corpses?

"Stop talking!"

Upon hearing this, Lily immediately screamed repeatedly.

This is terrifying!

Unfortunately, they all have real-life counterparts.

Lily and the others had heard about it before, but it was just sensational news back then.

But now I'm so close to them.

That's terrifying!
