Sales office.

Seeing these people, Lu Ban subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

There is definitely no concept of buying and selling houses, commercial housing, etc. in the wilderness now.

This sales office is undoubtedly a relic from the past.

If the current situation was known, the sales office's slogan would probably become something like "Even if the world were to be destroyed, the building would still be intact", which would be absolutely true.

"This may be a residential area, and these houses are for sale."

Lu Ban explained.

"Sell? Can you sell the house?"

Frostheart seemed a little curious.

"Aren't our houses directly allocated by the Archons?"

"Yes, people in the past had to buy them. Well, I've read some information about people's livelihood in the past. At that time, everything had to be bought, even houses."

Lu Ban explained.

The population of the wasteland is small and they have superpowers, so land has become the least valuable thing. The consuls of the city-state can distribute it according to demand. Families with large numbers live in big houses, and families with small numbers live in small houses. Everyone lives happily, and there is definitely no problem with household registration and school district housing.

"Then who will the money for buying the house be given to? Doesn't the land belong to everyone?"

Frostheart frowned, feeling something was wrong.

"Well..."

Lu Ban felt that he couldn’t go into details.

Times are different, and values ​​are certainly different.

"In short, the world used to be like this. Many people would spend their life savings on a house and would still be paying it back until they died."

Lu Ban’s words shocked Shuang Xin for a hundred years.

"You're still paying off debts before you die? The world before was really terrible."

Frostheart sighed.

"In the city-state, owing money to others is a very despised behavior, because it means that you cannot control your own wealth and have a deficit. I can't imagine what it's like to owe so much money."

Lu Ban thought about it and decided not to continue telling Shuang Xin that the house, which she would have to pay for a lifetime, had a usage period of only fifty years.

If we go on, Frost Heart will probably only feel fear about the world before destruction.

Lu Ban looked around and saw some brochures in the sales office lobby.

These papers have been stored for many years and some of the printed colors have faded, but some text can still be vaguely seen.

When Lu Ban saw these words, he felt a little relieved. Fortunately, he didn't recognize the words on them.

Otherwise, doesn’t this mean that the wasteland is the future of the world that he is familiar with?

Through the translation of the Quiet Place, Lu Ban was able to see the words clearly.

"The king of central view buildings has made a grand debut. Future City welcomes all owners."

“The ultimate service, the most futuristic community.”

“Light luxury residence under the grand vision of the metaverse.”

"Owning a house in Future City means you are grabbing the future."

“Public gardens and natural spaces are something you deserve.”

Words like these stir people's hearts, as if buying this house will lead to a happy life.

Perhaps in that era, a house was indeed the entire meaning of a person's life.

However, compared to the sales offices or real estate projects Lu Ban had seen, this place was obviously much more high-tech.

Lu Ban saw in the brochure that those windowless houses actually utilized the most advanced technology to adjust sunlight and ventilation in a timely manner to create the most natural and comfortable environment, and those sweeping robots were also fully automatic.

These houses use the latest technology and almost all of them are connected to the Internet, so they look quite developed.

Shuang Xin was stunned by what she saw.

“It’s so advanced?”

As a researcher, Shuangxin was naturally very curious when she saw these things that she had never come into contact with before.

She accepted a brochure and picked up a poster next to it to read it carefully, greedily absorbing all the information.

"Here are the newspapers."

Lu Ban didn't know whether it was because of the dry and cool environment or the cleaning by the sweeping robots, but the newspapers in the cupboard were surprisingly not corroded too badly.

He thought about it, picked up the silver pen made of [Last Words], wrote the word [Lossless] on the newspapers, and started flipping through them.

This destroyed world is indeed different from the world Lu Ban lives in.

Its technology is obviously more developed and the degree of urbanization is higher. Forests, mountains, lakes and oceans are all private property and require a certain fee to enjoy them. It is for this reason that this completely enclosed house is so popular.

Anyway, those beautiful natural scenery do not belong to me, so I might as well immerse myself in my own little room.

I guess if this world continues to develop for a while, it will become cyberpunk.

"Maybe this place is just a ruin, it's so clean because of the robots."

Lu Ban took a quick look and found no trace of the swarm of insects.

He and Shuangxin were about to leave the sales office hall and decided to go take a look at one of the houses.

"etc."

Lu Ban suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked around the sales office, then picked up a few cards.

"The doors here should be locked. We need to use this key to open them."

Handing one of them to Shuang Xin, Lu Ban said.

"You seem to understand... a lot?"

Frost Heart looked at Lu Ban suspiciously.

"It's all written in the previous information."

Lu Ban evaded the question with an answer, and Shuang Xin didn't ask any more questions.

The two came to the street, which had already been cleaned by a sweeping robot.

Lu Ban noticed that there were solar panels on the tops of these buildings, and estimated that the scorching sun in the wilderness would be enough to keep the community running.

Arriving in front of a building, Lu Ban used his card to swipe open the tightly closed door.

However, after entering the building, Lu Ban felt something was wrong.

The air here doesn't have the dusty smell that comes from the air conditioner running idle, as no one has lived here for years.

You know, human beings themselves are the largest reservoir of bacteria. The smell of an environment with living things and one without living things is completely different.

Lu Ban even smelled a faint fragrance.

“What’s that weird smell?”

Frostheart's nostrils twitched slightly, and she caught the same smell.

However, since she may have never really smelled the fragrance of flowers, she found it strange to smell such a scent.

Her nose felt itchy, as if being tickled by something, causing her to wrinkle it subconsciously.

"It should still be the scent of flowers."

Lu Ban walked in front, using a crowbar to explore the way.

At the outside of the house is a long corridor leading to the stairs, and in front is a door.

Lu Ban swiped his card to open the door.

A fresh breeze blew in from behind the door.

He heard the sound of birds.

"This is……"

Shuang Xin walked behind Lu Ban, listening to unfamiliar voices, and brilliant colors appeared before her eyes.

She saw lush plants, clear flowing water, blue sky, birds flying among the flowers, animals drinking water by the stream, and a world full of vitality.

Frost Heart saw a little deer grazing on the lawn, and next to it, a girl in white was lying.
