Previously, Li Chuan was penniless and left nothing behind except a few machetes.

Zhang Lin thought the challenge was simply doing unpaid work.

Winning brings no benefit, losing means losing everything.

But then he realized that there was a reward for winning...

"Luo Jinxin owns a property in Hope City No. 5, along with 30 contribution points and some miscellaneous items from his house. Now all of that belongs to you!"

The city lord was speechless. After saying a few words, he drifted away, draped in the white robe he had made from a bed sheet.

As he left, the people around him gradually dispersed.

Last time Zhang Lin kicked people out, he didn't give them any face at all, and this time no one wants to be kicked out by Zhang Lin again.

As the group walked and talked, their words were filled with envy for Zhang Lin.

Another house!

Hope City only has a hundred houses. People without houses can only find an open space to set up a tent or build a wooden house. How can that compare to living comfortably in a small villa?

Moreover, houses in Hope City are a symbol of status, and also offer many other benefits.

For example, these 100 houses are protected.

No one may trespass at any time.

Once the city guard was established, one of its responsibilities was to protect houses from intrusion. Currently, this responsibility is handled by the property management company.

Moreover, this house can accommodate more than one person.

By using just one room as bait, one can attract countless people to serve them.

This situation existed in previous lives.

Someone converted their villa into a subdivided flat, just like in Hong Kong. They managed to turn one house into thirty beds!

He gave all thirty beds to people for free, but only to beautiful women. In exchange, these women had to serve him...

He can sleep with whichever one he wants.

Which man wouldn't be envious!

If this person hadn't been defeated after being challenged due to kidney deficiency, who knows how long he could have continued living this carefree life.

Even without mentioning that, just renting it out can yield countless resources.

Zhang Lin now owns two houses, and his future is incredibly bright!

Zhang Lin never imagined that before the apocalypse, he was forced to break up with his girlfriend because he couldn't afford a house, but after the apocalypse, he would become a landlord!

"Soon the zombies will gather and attack humans in a frenzy. After surviving this crisis, we will immediately face a month of extreme cold and a month of extreme heat!"

Ji Yuetong explained to everyone the benefits of having an extra house.

"We have an extra building that we don't have to worry about renting out. With a little renovation, it can easily accommodate dozens of people. These are all contribution points!"

She has a greedy look on her face.

At this moment, everyone was sitting together in the living room on the second floor, talking about the extra house.

“I remember, the first twenty buildings are all the same, right?” Zhang Lin sat on the sofa and put his arm around An Qingge’s shoulder. “In that case, let’s stay here. There’s no need to move. We can rent out Building 5 later!”

During the period of extreme heat and cold, humans were unable to go out and could only stay at home, relying on air conditioning and heating to survive. During this time, they could not go out to find food.

Therefore, people now have to hurry up and collect supplies, and store at least two months' worth of food.

At the same time, we also need to find a place to escape the cold and heat.

Hope City, one hundred villas, is such a good place.

"Brother Lin, we don't lack food. When we rent a house, we only need to contribute points. These contribution points will become the currency of Hope City after the New Era, and we can use them to buy extraordinary items!" Ji Yuetong imagined the wonderful future, her eyes almost squinting into slits!

"Once we get through this period of extreme highs and lows, and into the new era, we can find someone to sell those five houses and make a fortune!" Zhang Lin laughed. "Luo Jinxin, what a good man!"

"Ahem, Yue Tong, we need to think carefully about how to rent a place. How about... we go to your room?" He suddenly looked at Ji Yue Tong with a mysterious smile on his face.

An Qingge was listening with great pleasure.

Now that the family has money, she, as the lady of the house, is happy, isn't she?

Suddenly, upon hearing Zhang Lin's words, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"Uh..." Ji Yuetong was a little embarrassed.

An Qingge silently removed Zhang Lin's arm from her shoulder.

Zhang Lin smiled and kissed her fair, flawless face. "Jealous?"

An Qingge naturally refused to admit it. Her face was expressionless, and her tone was flat, "No!!"

Zhang Lin asked, "How about... we go and study it together?"

"Ridiculous!" An Qingge couldn't hold back any longer. She stood up, glared at Zhang Lin, and ran back to her bedroom as if fleeing.

"Sister, I'm here to keep you company!"

An Qingwu glared at Ji Yuetong and quickly followed her sister to the bedroom.

"What does this have to do with me?" Ji Yuetong felt a little wronged, then saw Zhang Lin smiling and said irritably, "You have such a twisted sense of humor!"

This matter could have been discussed privately, but Zhang Lin insisted on bringing it up in front of An Qingwu and the twin sisters.

An Qingge is naturally thin-skinned!

How could she possibly stand this!

Zhang Lin didn't say anything. He stood up, went to Ji Yuetong's side, bent down and hugged the petite and delicate woman, leading her to the second bedroom on the second floor.

An Qingge needs to get used to it. If she can't even accept Ji Yuetong, how will she accept An Qingwu and her twin sister in the future?

The twin sisters on the other side were dumbfounded.

"Xiaoya, aren't Brother Zhang Lin and Sister Qingge a couple?" Mu Xiaohui stared at the two figures with her big eyes, filled with confusion.

"Xiao Hui, are you stupid?" Mu Xiaoya took a deep breath, her expression somewhat serious. "I think I know why Brother Zhang Lin brought us back!"

"Why?" Mu Xiaohui asked instinctively, then realized what she meant, took a breath, and exclaimed, "So, Sister Qingwu is also his woman?"

"It should be!" Mu Xiaoya nodded.

"Oh my god!" Mu Xiaohui's pink lips parted into an "O" shape. "Then we..."

Mu Xiaoya gave a helpless look: "I knew it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. The little work we do doesn't deserve the treatment here."

"Xiaoya, what should we do?" Mu Xiaohui asked blankly.

"What else can we do?" Mu Xiaoya rolled her eyes. "We have no power to resist. At least here, we don't have to worry about food and drink..."

The two sisters looked at each other and found that they both had a look of resignation in their eyes.

Zhang Lin never expected that the Mu Xiaoya and Mu Xiaohui sisters had already resigned themselves to their fate before he even started his pursuit.

It can only be said that girls who have been exposed to society from a young age are much more adaptable. Having experienced the hardships of the post-apocalyptic world, they have their own choices.

However, they have only resigned themselves to their fate at this point. It will probably take a few more days for them to truly be willing to accept it.
