Jiang Li took her backpack and followed the man out to look at the house. They took an electric tram, the kind you usually see at tourist attractions, with seats in the middle and empty spaces on the sides, offering views of the scenery, and a canopy on top. However, this one had been modified to generate solar power.
We really used everything that could be used, and nothing was wasted.
The base was huge; it took about half an hour to drive there before we stopped.
The two went inside, and Jiang Li chose a room on the east side of the 6th floor. There were no lights in the hallway, but fortunately there were windows. So there was no need to worry about not being able to see during the day.
Upon reaching the 6th floor, the man took out a key, opened the security door, and the two went inside together.
As the man led us inside, he explained, “This suite has two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. It’s over 80 square meters and has a separate bathroom and kitchen.”
Jiang Li looked around the house. The living room was right inside the door, with a room on each side of the living room. Opposite was the kitchen with a window. Fortunately, the windows in the rooms had already been installed, otherwise Jiang Li would have had to consider where to get the windows from.
Next to the bedroom is a bathroom, and there's also a small window right next to the kitchen.
When Jiang Li asked the man, he said that all suites are designed like this. Jiang Li was speechless. What was the person who designed it thinking, putting the kitchen and bathroom so close together?
The living room has no windows; it relies entirely on the windows in the kitchen and bedrooms for light. The living room gets much darker when the bedroom doors are closed, but overall, ventilation is quite good.
Each room has a light, and the house is completely undecorated; it's a bare shell, without even any plaster, just cement walls.
There is an electricity meter and a water meter next to the door. Once the water and electricity are turned on, they will show the remaining amount. When it's almost gone, you can pay in advance so that the water and electricity won't be cut off suddenly.
The kitchen was small, with only one faucet and a cement platform for placing things.
The toilet has a squat toilet and a faucet for washing hands. Below the faucet is a very small area for washing your face, about the size of a washbasin. There is also a shower head for showering.
The rooms aren't very big, but they're perfectly adequate for one person. There's also a small balcony outside the master bedroom, which you can walk out of from the room. The balcony isn't counted in the square footage.
Overall, the house was bare and had nothing.
Even so, Jiang Li was already quite satisfied. In the apocalypse, this was already considered pretty good, especially compared to his previous life.
After deciding to rent it, the two drove back to the service hall. At this time, there were far fewer people in the service hall, and the windows were empty. Jiang Li went to the same lady as before.
"Sister, do you buy cigarettes, alcohol, and gold? I didn't see any of these listed on the wall."
"We accept cigarettes, alcohol, and gold. It's just that these are scarce right now, so they're not listed. If you have any, you can use them to exchange for gold. These are worth more points than some food items, and different brands have different point values."
Cigarettes and alcohol are already in high demand, and now that they are no longer produced, they are even rarer. Besides, most people don't carry these things with them; they carry food, and even if they do, it's only a little bit, and they eat most of it themselves.
"Okay, I'll go get something from the car."
Jiang Li went back to the car, replaced everything in his backpack with cigarettes and alcohol, took out a small bag of gold, and then carried some food before heading to the office.
"So, how much do you think I can get for these?"
Jiang Li opened his black hiking backpack, which was full of cigarettes and alcohol, and then opened the gold in his hand and placed it on the counter.
Jiang Li still has many of these in his space. He collected a lot on the way here, but he didn't take them all out. Who would hoard so much cigarettes, alcohol, and gold for no reason? Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
The leftovers can be exchanged for points next time, and Jiang Li doesn't need these things himself, so he won't feel bad about using them to exchange for points.
The woman was stunned; she hadn't expected Jiang Li to have so much.
"Wait a moment, let me have my supervisor calculate it for you."
Then he quickly ran to the back and called their supervisor over. Jiang Li's things had already attracted the attention of the staff at several other windows.
"Coming, coming, where is the thing?" The person who came was a man in his forties wearing a white shirt and glasses, who looked rather shrewd.
The man was quite shocked to see so much. Although he had heard about it earlier, it was still hard for him to remain calm when he actually saw it.
He quickly asked the staff next to him to move the items aside and began to count them himself.
Jiang Li had a lot of items, including various brands, so the settlement took a while. After waiting for a while, the points were finally settled. Cigarettes, alcohol, and gold could be exchanged for a total of 2,000 points.
The staff member who processed Jiang Li's points was very excited because they could get a certain percentage of points, and Jiang Li also needed to rent a house.
They get a commission for every apartment they rent out. Guang Jiangli alone can earn a considerable income in one go. How could she not be excited! Didn't you see the envious looks from the staff next to her?
Many people have to find food while also saving money for their rooms. They struggle to accumulate enough points for a month, and even if they have extra points, they save them for the next month, spending them cautiously.
Nobody else has accumulated 2000 points like Jiang Li. It's truly infuriating to compare yourself to others.
After converting the points and crediting them to his card, Jiang Li paid a year's rent, using up 1560 points. Then he prepaid 60 points for water and electricity, leaving him with only 380 points in his card.
