Chapter 65 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou sighed. Sure enough, he was jealous, and... because he had always been paying attention to Jiang Xiali, and now a good friend like this, whom he was chatting with so happily, had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He must be anxious.
"I met him in Qingshui Town, he's a new friend."
Lin Wanyi: "Then how did you two become so familiar with each other so quickly?"
Lin Leyou wasn't really sure about this either. Jiang Xiali gave him the impression of being very outgoing and friendly. "Maybe we just get along well?"
Lin Wanyi, "Then... what do you think of Alibaba?"
Ali!!
Lin Wanyi is indeed up to no good.
Lin Leyou: "Jiang Xiali is indeed a good person. He is warm, helpful, and good at creating a lively atmosphere. He is very energetic, speaks very lively, and is straightforward without beating around the bush. He always speaks with a smile, as if just seeing him can ease your mood and make you happy."
He's also quite lively.
As Lin Leyou spoke, he observed Lin Wanyi's expression, and sure enough, her gaze became increasingly strange.
"Then are you..."
Lin Leyou: "What are you talking about? Didn't I say before that we're just friends who get along well? Besides, I'm only eighteen years old."
Lin Wanyi was stunned for a moment, "You're only eighteen?!"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, what about you guys?"
Lin Wanyi answered subconsciously, "We're both twenty-nine."
Lin Leyou really didn't realize that Jiang Xiali looked so young; he thought she was only around twenty years old, but he was actually twenty-nine.
"Yes, so what are you worried about?"
Lin Wanyi muttered, "That makes sense..."
The car quickly stopped at the entrance of a residential area.
In the middle of the entrance and exit is a green area, and in the middle of the green belt is a large stone with the words "Happy Community" written on it.
Just looking in from here, the environment of this community is already very nice, with greenery, a small lake, and even a small park.
Lin Wanyi said, "We're here. It's Xingfu Community. The rental information is posted at the guardhouse. You can see it when you get there. By the way, if you trust me, I recommend you choose a room in Building 5."
Lin Leyou was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Thanks."
After closing the car door, Lin Wanyi drove away. Lin Leyou watched the car disappear at the end of the road before turning around and walking towards the guardhouse.
Sure enough, there were rental listings posted here.
It's very simple. All the houses inside are the same size, regardless of the floor or building number. You get 10 points per month. Of course, once the instance starts while you're in the community, you can't leave the community until the instance ends. You need to cooperate with others to do your own thing.
You can also receive certain rewards after completing the dungeon.
The two security guards in the gatehouse were watching him.
"Hey buddy, looking to rent a place?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, are there any apartments left in Building 5?"
Upon hearing this, the two exclaimed, "Oh, was someone recommending you?"
Lin Leyou smiled. It seemed that Building No. 5 was indeed quite nice. The two security guards knew that he had been introduced by someone as soon as they heard the name. "Yes."
The security guard said, "You've come at the right time. There's just one unit left in Building 5. Come with me."
Lin Leyou: "Okay."
Following one of the security guards into the community, I must say, once inside, the environment became even more beautiful, especially the greenery. Not only were there many green plants, but also many flowers of various colors and varieties, creating a riot of color and beauty.
There is a road lined with ginkgo trees on both sides. The golden ginkgo leaves are hanging from the branches and falling to the ground, making the whole road seem to be shining.
Building No. 5 is located right next to this road.
The security guard led him to the fifth floor in the elevator. The tallest building in this complex is seven stories, so five stories is not bad.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw that it was a building with two apartments per floor. The security guard opened the door on the left, and as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a golden yellow color.
I'm not referring to the interior decoration of the house, but rather the view from the window...
He hadn't expected that the living room balcony would have huge floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the road outside lined with ginkgo trees. Just thinking about the beautiful view from the living room made him feel happy.
The whole house seemed to be bathed in golden sunlight. Lin Leyou fell in love with the house at first sight. If possible, she might buy it in the future.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the small lake in the distance, with a small park beside it.
From what I can see, the house is about 120 square meters, with two bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. To be honest, it's a very big house for one person.
But he heard that all the houses in this neighborhood are the same size, and the view from the window is really nice, so he decided on this one.
Moreover, it was recommended by Lin Wanyi, so there's definitely no better option.
"Hello, this apartment is perfect for me. How do I pay the rent?"
The security guard led him to the entrance, where there was a display screen near the inside of the gate. "You can pay your rent here."
Lin Leyou discovered that the display screen was a touch screen. Somewhat unfamiliar with it, he tapped around with the help of the security guard. It had functions for paying rent, property management fees, and water, electricity, and gas bills, and could also directly contact the property management or security guards.
"Not bad."
In his previous life, he had only seen such things on TV, and they wouldn't appear for at least another ten years. He never imagined he would be using them now.
He clicked to pay rent, and then the screen asked him how many months' rent he needed to pay.
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, then paid three months' rent, which deducted thirty points from his account. He then deposited five thousand into the account balance for the property so that the community could automatically deduct miscellaneous fees.
"It's quite convenient; I don't need to go around paying various fees anymore."
The security guard said, "Yes, if the lease expires, they will remind you a few days in advance. If you don't want to rent anymore, you can choose not to renew, but you need to move out before the expiration date."
"Also, people already live here. Every time they come home, they just need to scan their face to open the door. Nothing else can open the door except you. Of course, nothing can come in without your permission. Your house is very safe, so you can rest assured about that."
Lin Leyou nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand."
He inquired about nearby supermarkets before the security guard left.
"The supermarket is just a short walk straight ahead from the neighborhood. There's a big supermarket about 200 meters away, as well as many restaurants, snack shops, and breakfast shops. It's a very bustling area."
"Okay, thank you."
The security guard replied, "You're welcome."
The security guard left quickly, and Lin Leyou finally had time to properly look at her new home. Although it was just a rental, the price was incredibly cheap!
Moreover, such scenery can bring joy just by looking at it!
He had never lived in such a nice house in his life. Even the house his parents bought for his younger brother in his previous life was far inferior to this one.
He still remembers the first time he went to that new house. Standing at the door, looking at the shiny, reflective floor tiles inside, he didn't dare to step inside, afraid that he would leave a dirty footprint. He was both scared and reserved.
Not to mention the beautiful and high-end furniture and appliances in the house, he still remembers the way his parents, brother and sister-in-law looked at him.
"Oh!"
Didn't you buy it with your own money? You look down on him? If you're so capable, then don't take his money!
Lin Leyou sat comfortably on the sofa. The house was fully furnished with all the necessary furniture and appliances, so there was no need for any extra preparation.
All he needs to prepare are his own daily necessities.
He lay on the sofa, trying to return to the real world.
"Resident Lin Leyou, is this place to be set up as a temporary home?"
Lin Leyou chose yes.
"Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for obtaining a temporary home, located at Room 501, Unit 1, Building 5, Happiness Community, Endless City!"
"Temporary Homestead has been updated!"
"Tip: Your home is absolutely safe. Do not give the key to your home to anyone else to prevent being attacked."
Lin Leyou blinked. "Key? Does it mean the key to this house?"
No, no, the system message says it refers to permission to enter the homestead, not just the key itself. Without your permission, even if the other party has the key, they can't get in.
"Should we return to the real world?"
Lin Leyou felt much more at ease after seeing this notification. Since the system had acknowledged that this was a temporary home, it meant that he was at least safe living here.
"yes."
After the familiar darkness.
"Randomly selected time, and you have been selected... Congratulations, you have been selected for three hours."
"The time that resident Lin Leyou spent in the Endless World was equivalent to three hours in the real world."
Lin Leyou opened his eyes, stretched, and casually picked up his phone to check the time. It was just past four or five in the afternoon.
Although he had just had a full meal in Endless City, he was still hungry and couldn't go out to eat.
There are many places to eat outside this residential area. He even saw the breakfast shop run by Zhou Feng and his wife. The shop was open and they were still selling things.
Looks like we made too many steamed buns and mantou today, because it's almost evening and we still haven't sold them all.
In shops like this, half of the steamed buns that aren't sold in the morning are kept on the shelves until closing time in the evening. If they're still not sold out, the owners eat them themselves.
Lin Leyou glanced around outside the door and saw Zhou Feng and his wife sitting and resting inside the shop. The two looked worried and wondered what had happened.
However... this has nothing to do with me. Although Lin Leyou has come to buy breakfast a few times, Zhou Feng definitely doesn't recognize me. After all, there are plenty of people who buy breakfast.
He randomly picked a restaurant and ordered a crab hot pot, and sure enough, it was delicious!
He wasn't going to miss out on any of the lifestyle he missed in his past life—eating well, dressing well, living well—and buying a villa when he had enough money! Oh, and a car too!
Although I don't really need a car right now, it's always good to learn how to drive first. The earlier you learn, the simpler it is. The requirements will become more and more demanding as you go on.
He never learned to drive in his previous life, which is a regret.
