Chapter 1130 - 504: Babies Are a Renewable Resource
How did it get more and more ridiculous?"It’s not like that. What really affects the price is that this car is a water-damaged car. Even though the interior is original, it must be replaced after being submerged," Wei Xuan quickly explained.
"Oh, a water-damaged car, that’s a bit more reasonable,"
Brother Sun nodded and leaned in to check the interior, but whether due to initial repairs or something else, there were no particularly obvious signs of water damage. The color of the seat, however, did seem somewhat unnatural. A moment later, he asked on behalf of Lin Li:
"Was it fresh water or seawater?"
There are also upper and lower levels among water-damaged cars. If it was soaked in saltwater throughout, Brother Sun would start to consider if the price is a bit high.
Because if the whole car was soaked in saltwater, what needs to be replaced isn’t as simple as just the interior.
Don’t end up with a car that’s drivable but fraught with issues, like a ninety-seven-year-old elderly person.
Fresh water, win; seawater, lose!
Wei Xuan: "Corpse water."
Lin Li, Brother Sun: "(;☉_☉)?"
How is there an "or" in AorB?
"It drove into the river, drowned two people, and wasn’t discovered until two days later. By the time they were pulled out, they were already swollen."
Wei Xuan fully respected Lin Li’s and Brother Sun’s right to know and candidly explained the story behind the vehicle:
"The company certainly doesn’t allow us to say these things, but having received a commission, I still have to mention it. Because it really soaked for a long time; if you can accept that, don’t feel uneasy, then after buying it, spending ten to tens of thousands to repair it, the car will still be quite decent."
"But if you’re planning to buy a car for commuting, Lin Li, I personally think there’s no need to pursue this; I wouldn’t really recommend this one, though I just brought you to see the most expensive one."
"Hmm, never mind," Lin Li nodded, "Sister, I mainly believe in ghosts and gods, as Brother Sun knows, I’m scared of this kind of car."
Brother Sun: "..."
Does he mean the extra year of life he picked up at the door?
Wei Xuan nodded: "Then let’s continue looking at other cars. I think those might suit your needs better."
"Okay."
...
After spending more than an hour, Lin Li took a cursory look at all the cars in the parking lot, but in the end, he didn’t place an order.
Nor did he trigger any new tasks.
Lin Li was actually hesitating whether to spend 3,000 yuan to buy that Xiali and test if it counted as a task trigger point, but in the end, he thought it was unnecessary.
It’s hard to explain his motivation, and since a new task has been triggered, there’s no rush; it’s not too late to buy it later when there are no more tasks.
And if an electric scooter counts as Mecha, buying an electric scooter is actually about the same price and far more practical.
"So, that’s it for today? Or should we go somewhere else and look at other car sources?" Wei Xuan asked.
"Let’s call it a day; it’s not early anymore."
Today’s probe ends here, Lin Li responded.
"Alright, then contact me if you need anything in the future."
After a few courtesies and goodbyes, Lin Li got back into Brother Sun’s car, ready to return to the BBQ shop.
"Lin Li, weren’t there a few cars that were quite suitable as commuter cars just now? That Honda Fit, if I didn’t already have a car, I would have been tempted. The price is also appropriate, and Wei Xuan is even willing to directly offer you her company’s bottom price, not really interested?"
If you’re genuinely uninterested, I’ll try to recommend it to other friends because I really think it’s a small bargain,"
curious about what to do while driving.
Lin Li, who was chatting with Chen Yu Ying, raised his head upon hearing this and casually replied:
"Oh, actually, my purpose for buying a car isn’t purely for commuting; that car doesn’t really match my other main purpose."
"What’s the purpose?"
Lin Li: "For baking cookies."
"Baking cookies?" Brother Sun was stunned, "What does a car have to do with baking cookies."
"Brother Sun, haven’t you heard of the ’baby cookie method’? You only need to wait for a hot summer, spread the cookies that need baking on the dashboard, then casually place a baby inside, drive the car into the sunlight, close the doors, and as soon as the baby stops crying, the cookies will be perfectly baked. Very convenient, and it saves energy.
But that car has a sun-protection film, so the cookies wouldn’t be crisp, so forget it, you can just recommend it to someone else."
Lin Li lowered his head, chatting with Chen Yu Ying while patting her.
Brother Sun: "(;☉_☉)?"
What crawled into his ear?
Brother Sun felt like Lin Li must have read "The Ten Deadly Sins" as a version of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, a pure demon.
Now that he thinks about it, the person who tried to borrow Lin Li’s life just now was really unfortunate because whether they borrowed one year of Lin Li’s life or lent one year to Lin Li, it’s definitely not a good thing.
"Kid, um, your method... haha, is really novel, using solar energy as a clean energy source, but Brother Sun wouldn’t recommend it.
The main thing is, babies aren’t easy to come by; you can only get one or two in ten months, so it’s better not to use them casually."
Brother Sun said with a face of difficult-to-maintain seriousness.
"Just buy," Lin Li shrugged nonchalantly, "Who said you have to give birth yourself."
"Nowadays, baby traffickers are rampant. Last time I went to a supermarket, I saw a sign that said ’This store sells babies,’ six hundred and sixty-six, not even pretending anymore, but then it’ll end up benefiting me; after buying the car, I can just squat at that store and watch a few babies to bake cookies however I want."
