Beating the New First-tier: Starting from Abandoned Gas Stations

Chapter 6 Buy another 25 square kilometers of Gobi Desert?
"What is the approximate price of a high-power diesel silent generator?"

After thinking about it,
Shen Chuan reported the first item of supplies.

There was no other way. The only supplies we brought out from the Shen family were tents, compressed biscuits and mineral water, nothing else.

If you only consider night lighting, you can just buy a large rechargeable flashlight from the system, but in fact, in addition to lighting, mobile phone charging, etc., you also need a stable power supply.

Therefore, a high-power silent generator becomes a must!

"The prices range from 90,000 to 150,000. Please narrow down the price range."

The system responds.

"So expensive?"

Shen Chuan frowned.

Even though I knew that a high-power diesel silent generator would not be cheap, I didn't expect it to directly deplete my account balance.

This is the only amount of funds I can use now.

If all the money is used to buy generators, what will happen to other daily necessities?
Without other daily necessities, we can't survive here for a few days.

But if there is no high-power generator, it seems that it will not last for a few days!

Once the phone runs out of battery,
No one can bear the loneliness in the Gobi Desert.

"How to do?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Chuan tentatively sent a thought to the system.
"Is there nothing cheaper?"

"If the host considers second-hand equipment, there are indeed cheaper ones."

The system replied quickly.

"Second-hand? Second-hand is fine! As long as it's not broken."

Shen Chuan was delighted.

For him, the age of the engine is not the key, the most important thing is the price.

"System products can certainly be used, but their service life is slightly shorter than that of a new generator. The price of a second-hand 120-kilowatt diesel silent generator is between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan."

The next moment, the system's reply directly dispelled Shen Chuan's worries.

Shen Chuan was extremely satisfied with the price!

Not to mention ten to twenty thousand, he could even accept thirty thousand system coins.

However, before Shen Chuan could send the purchase instruction to the system, the system prompt sounded first.

"Ding, it has been detected that the host is not yet qualified to purchase second-hand items from the system, so the system cannot make the purchase."

"What? You're not eligible to buy second-hand items from Earth?"

Shen Chuan was stunned for a moment.

Just a moment ago, he had already thought about where to put the generator he bought. Now he was suddenly told that he was not qualified to buy second-hand items. Who could stand it?

"Yes!"

The system replied coldly.

"No! There are no restrictions on buying new items from the system, so why are there restrictions on second-hand items?"

"Because second-hand items are cheap, some items that are 99% new may also be considered second-hand, so there is a threshold."

The system continues to explain.

"Then, then, then, what are the requirements for purchasing second-hand items in the system?"

"Once the host completes one thousand system money-making tasks, the host can freely purchase second-hand supplies from the system without any restrictions."

"Does this mean there's no hope at all?"

Shen Chuan rubbed his eyebrows speechlessly.

So far, he hasn't received a single small money-making task, and who knows if he will ever receive a thousand in his lifetime.

Ugh!
After a long time, Shen Chuan sighed and thought about whether he should take a step back and see if he could use a normal generator with low power or relatively loud noise first. At this time, the system prompt sounded again.

"If the host is willing, there is another way for the host to unlock the restrictions on purchasing second-hand goods in the system."

"Hmm? Are there other methods? Tell me about them!"

Shen Chuan instantly became interested, and the flame that had just been extinguished began to burn again.

"The host only needs to have a square Gobi desert with the gas station as the diagonal center, five kilometers long and five kilometers wide."

The system gives the second condition.

"Wait, owning 25 square kilometers of Gobi Desert? What kind of unrelated condition is that?"

Shen Chuan was stunned.

"Because the system defaults to the host purchasing second-hand items, if they haven't completed a thousand money-making tasks, they will need to have an exclusive area to receive second-hand goods, and the minimum area specified for this area is 25 square kilometers!"

The system explained.

"Forehead"

For a moment, Shen Chuan didn't know what to say.

It sounds like the second condition is the minimum standard for the system, but it still seems unrealistic for me now.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to!
Ever since I left the Shen family, I had no plans to return to Fu City. This abandoned gas station has become the only place where I can stay for a long time.

Taking a 25 square kilometer Gobi desert around the gas station would actually give me more freedom and I could do whatever I wanted without any problems.

But the difficulty lies in funding!
The Gobi Desert is not too expensive, but the summer coins needed to purchase the Gobi Desert are not system coins!

I don’t even have a hundred Xia coins in my hand now, how can I buy it?
"forget it!"

There was a long silence.

Just when Shen Chuan was about to give up after riding the roller coaster twice in a row, the system suddenly sounded a reminder.

"If the host truly wishes to purchase the area, the system can grant the host a special loan."

"Wait, you said special loans?"

Shen Chuan's eyes lit up, and his dead heart came alive again.

There is almost no difference between Xia State on the Blue Water Planet and Dongda on Earth, except for slight differences in administrative methods and some rules and regulations.

It's like buying land!

As long as the funds are in place, payment, electronic signing, and property transfer can be completed through online operations. Finally, you only need to sign in person when driving boundary stakes and handing over the property certificate.

The staff who drive the boundary stakes will come to the destination site for on-site survey, which means that you don’t have to go outside at all and can complete all the procedures by staying at the gas station.

"Yes, a special loan! However, the host needs to note that this loan will not be deposited into the host's personal account, but only into the corresponding company account, which will then make the relevant payments."

The system replied.

"That's easy. When buying land from the relevant authorities, you have to use the company's name."

Shen Chuan's interest grew.

It is also very simple to register a sole proprietorship in Xiaguo.
Not only is the entire process done online, even the face-to-face interview can be completed through a dedicated online channel. As long as you think of your name in advance, everything can be done within one working day at most.

However, despite his interest, Shen Chuan still felt that he had to ask about all the matters and details.
"Since it's a loan, does it have interest? Is there a repayment deadline?"

"The annual interest rate for the system-specific loan is one point, and the repayment period is one year."

Some details of the special loan slowly appeared on the system panel.

"What if I can't pay it back by then?"

Rubbing his hands, Shen Chuan asked.

Apart from the tight repayment period, there is really no problem with the loan interest rate.
