“Okay. We’d like to rent a quiet place. Do you have any recommendations, sister?” Xu Lin used the tablet as a cover to hand over a lipstick. No woman can resist the temptation of lipstick; if one isn’t enough, then two will do.
They had already discussed it on the way here: choose a house with a yard in a relatively secluded location. Zhou Pin would find a job at the base to stay updated on the latest developments. Xu Lin would use the yard as a space for her own development (planting a small amount of crops in the yard, claiming the plants taken out of her space were grown in the yard). Both of them had secrets and tried to minimize their interactions with others.
"You can take a look at this one. Originally, there were plans to build three buildings here, but then the authorities required the construction of a road, so this building could only be built on the other side of the road. As a result, this one is quite far from the other buildings, separated by the road. However, this one has a large yard and the price is not high."
Xu Lin glanced at the location the young lady pointed to. It was indeed quite remote, with the base's perimeter wall on one side and an internal road on the other. The road was strangely constructed; most people build their roads in the middle of the residential area, but this one was built on the side. Following the road, it led to the largest villa in the villa area. It seemed that this was built by a tycoon for his own convenience.
"I wonder how much this apartment costs per month?"
"Renting this building currently costs 1,000 points per month, or points per year. If you want to buy it, it only costs 100,000 points."
All things considered, buying a house is more cost-effective, but the two of them won't be staying at the base indefinitely, so renting would be safer.
"Can you make it cheaper? We spent all our savings to get some points, and we want to save some money to buy a few pounds of good rice."
Real estate agent: A poor guy like you wants to live in a villa!
However, considering it was just a lipstick, the young lady said, somewhat awkwardly but politely, "We have clearly marked prices here, but considering your sincerity, we'll give you 5,000 points over six months."
"Alright, we'll take this place. Let's rent it for six months and sign the contract." Whether they're sincere or not doesn't matter; the value of a lipstick is evident.
"Okay, here is the contract, in duplicate. Please sign your name and date it here."
The young lady saw the apartment for the first time and immediately rented it, so she quickly handed the rental contract to Xu Lin.
"Do you need someone to take you there?" the saleswoman asked after you signed the contract and paid.
"No need, we still need to buy some things before we go. This location is easy to find, it's the only building on the roadside."
"Okay, here are the keys." No need to send them over, saving manpower.
The two left the house rental and sales office to check out the available jobs; they wouldn't look at the furniture, as the space was full of new items.
The place where people were looking for jobs was the most crowded, so the two gave up and decided to wait until this wave of job hunting subsided. They figured that jobs that were actually available at the base wouldn't be posted out so casually.
"Let's go see the new house and plan how to decorate it," Xu Lin said impatiently. "It's just that the old place was too far to walk to, and we couldn't drive every time we went out. Living in a remote area has its advantages and disadvantages."
“I saw that they sell solar-powered electric cars over at the service hall. Let’s go buy one first. It’s too far to walk around the base, and driving one would be too conspicuous,” Zhou Pin said.
"Okay, let's buy a small electric tricycle. It can also carry cargo."
"..." Zhou Pin.
"Even in the apocalypse, you still have an idol image to maintain?"
"Fine, you decide."
