Professor Liu only remembered that he had such a thing after receiving it, so he immediately began to study it. His intuition told him that this crystal must have some special function.
After the two sides met and exchanged pleasantries, Lin Xuan brought out the computers and equipment she had collected from the laboratory of the Agricultural University in D City to show Professor Gu.
These devices and machines were all collected into the space during the early days of the apocalypse and are very well preserved, which is exactly what Professor Liu's research team needs.
Without saying a word, Professor Liu left all the equipment behind and called the head of the research institute to ask him to settle the bill.
These instruments and equipment were redeemed for another two hundred thousand yuan, and the points were quickly deposited into Lin Xuan's identity card.
After declining Professor Liu's offer to stay for dinner, the group immediately returned to the Comprehensive Service Building to check housing information.
Xia Feng originally wanted Zhou Xinran and the others to go back to the Zhou family first, while he and Lin Xuan could go see it alone.
But these people just love to join in the fun and insist on getting involved.
With Zhou Ershao around, they received VIP treatment wherever they went, and the group was invited to a private office on the second floor.
The manager in charge of this business is surnamed Zheng, who was also Zhou Xinran's friend before the apocalypse. Zhou Er Shao's statement that he has friends everywhere in City A is not an exaggeration.
Manager Zheng brought over a case of bottled water and distributed it to the group. He then sat down with Zhou Xinran to chat and catch up.
Xia Feng and Lin Xuan each held a tablet to select properties, while Zhou Lerui and Lin Xuan huddled together, swiping the screen back and forth. Peng Ze also nodded and shook his head in a serious manner.
Peng Yu and Shen You'an, as usual, used themselves as human backdrops, sitting quietly to the side drinking water.
Lin Xuan and Zhou Lerui frantically tapped on the tablet for a long time, feeling that this one was good and that one was also okay. The two people with decision-making difficulties were completely unable to make a decision.
In the end, Xia Feng chose two houses.
A well-furnished apartment of over 100 square meters, with three bedrooms and a living room, located near the edge of the base, ready to move in, at a relatively affordable price.
Another place is a residential complex near Zhou Xinran's home. It's a top-floor apartment, also over 100 square meters, but it's an unfinished apartment and the price is higher.
Zhou Xinran naturally wanted Xia Feng to live closer to his home, so he persuaded Xia Feng to choose the unfinished top-floor villa.
"Old Xia, let's choose this villa. It's close to my home, the neighborhood is safe, and it'll be convenient for my Rui Rui to go play with her little sister Xiao Bao."
"Alright, let's choose the fully furnished one." Xia Feng made the decision immediately; he didn't want Zhou Laosan to come and monopolize his wife all the time.
With Peng Ze following along, if the three of them keep playing around like this a few more times, they'll eventually have to settle down together, and he won't allow that to happen.
After looking at the houses, I finally bought the top-floor villa that was close to Zhou Xinran's house.
The neighborhood around that fully furnished apartment was terrible; it was filthy and chaotic. Only the apartment complex itself was relatively clean.
Living there would be inconvenient for daily errands, and you'd also have to worry about safety.
Although the two are currently strong enough that their safety is not a concern, the surrounding environment still has a certain impact on their mood.
They had no choice but to live near the Zhou family and endure Zhou Lerui's harassment.
Xia Feng felt a sorrowful sense of parting from their life together with tears in his eyes.
This villa has six floors in total, with one apartment per floor. The elevator is currently out of service, so you have to use the stairs.
The interior area is approximately 90 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a north-south orientation, plus a terrace of about 60 square meters.
Although water and electricity have been restored to residential buildings, they are now limited and expensive, especially water.
Due to viral contamination, almost all water sources have been polluted.
The tap water supplied to homes now undergoes multiple filtration and disinfection processes and is specially treated.
This water is completely undrinkable; it can only be drunk after being boiled, but even then, a strange, astringent smell is still difficult to mask.
Xia Feng himself works in the renovation industry. After walking around the house, he had a good idea of how it should be laid out.
The points I had just redeemed were gone again, and I even had to borrow 500,000 yuan from Zhou Xinran to buy this small house.
Although houses in this area of City A are expensive now, you can still afford them if you work hard.
A few years later, as more people flocked to City A, the houses there became incredibly scarce and expensive.
With 100 points, you probably won't even be able to buy a house on the edge of the base.
The formalities were completed quickly, and the property certificate was obtained. It was the same red booklet as before the apocalypse, and it was written in Lin Xuan's name.
These paper notebooks are no longer being produced; what we're using now are remnants from pre-apocalyptic stock.
It is estimated that in the future, other materials will be needed to make property ownership certificates, or only electronic materials will be available, with information recorded on the ID card.
After buying the house, Zhou Xinran led everyone to the lobby on the first floor to exchange their cell phones.
My old phone doesn't work anymore.
City A quickly developed a mobile phone that could make calls within the city limits, which could be exchanged for an older smartphone.
Of course, depending on the age and overall value of the phone, older models or those with very low value will require additional points to redeem.
Lin Xuan has collected a lot of mobile phones, tablets and electronic products in her space, and Peng Ze also has several new mobile phones in his space, all of which he collected from the villa in L City.
Everyone received a new mobile phone and exchanged phone numbers; that concluded the day's business.
Xia Feng decided to move into the villa with Lin Xuan today.
Lin Xuan's space is fully equipped with a bed, cabinets, tables, chairs, and everything else. The house also has running water and electricity, so there won't be any inconveniences living in a bare-bones house.
Zhou Xinran knew that Xia Feng was determined, so he didn't try to keep him and took his reluctant sister home.
Lin Xuan waved goodbye to her two friends, promising to keep in touch by phone. She said she would invite them to a housewarming party once the renovation was finished, and then she and Xia Feng returned to their home in City A.
