Without the supply of funds, they are now living a rather frugal life.
Anna was like a little princess who had been expelled from her family, possessing only the title but no real power or money.
The two people came down the ladder, and when the real estate agent saw them come down, a look of disdain immediately appeared on his face.
"I knew you wouldn't adapt well to the situation here. The oxygen concentration up here is very low, and going to the toilet is very inconvenient."
Therefore, I suggest you choose my Package A. Those detached houses are perfect for you, and you won't feel cramped or have to climb stairs. There's also plenty of amphibious space available, and you can even get a discount on the price.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to nod and signal the other party to lead the way. The other party led the small town along the road and walked for about ten minutes until they arrived at the area outside of Fengchao.
This place is different from other places. It consists of individual small buildings with only one main entrance and one window on the top floor. It looks like there are two households per floor.
Moreover, there was a public toilet nearby, and they were even able to find a public water tap, which surprised Lu Yuan greatly.
"Come on, this is the one."
The agent led Lu Yuan and Anna forward, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the door.
Pushing open the door, Lu Yuan was even more surprised to find that there was electricity in the room, and the room was lit up. Although it had a strong earthy smell, it was much better than the previous place. Moreover, the place was quite cool and comfortable, and there was even a fireplace and a chimney for ventilation.
After staying in the room for a while, Lu Yuan immediately fell in love with it. They were going to stay here for one to two months, so they needed to find a more suitable place to live. However, when Lu Yuan asked about the price, the price quoted by the other party made Lu Yuan feel that it was really a rip-off.
"Twenty gold bars for a month's rent? Why don't you just rob someone?"
Lu Yuan dared not even imagine how much gold twenty catties of gold bars would be equivalent to.
He felt that the other party was asking for an exorbitant price, which was almost completely out of line with the house's value.
However, the other side also gave its reasons, namely that there were too many people wanting to get in, and the soldiers on the battlefield also had a lot of wealth.
They could basically move into this place if they just gritted their teeth, which shocked Lu Yuan. Twenty gold bars! All they had to do was join the army and fight in battle—it was ridiculously high.
Finally, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and took out forty gold bars. The forty gold bars were a huge lump, and Lu Yuan felt their weight in his hand.
He handed it to the real estate agent, who was so happy his mouth almost reached his ears. The agent then explained to Lu Yuan the furnishings of the house and the subsequent service fees.
Lu Yuan felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. This place was a den of iniquity, where life was good but money was also spent a lot.
Here, you have to pay for everything – food, water, even just going out. Because the area is very chaotic when you leave home, there's a high chance of thieves breaking into your room. Hiring a bodyguard can significantly reduce the trouble.
Although renting this place was a bit of a splurge, it's definitely much more comfortable now.
After settling in, Lu Yuan felt a little hungry, but it seemed inappropriate to go out for dinner on the first day.
Having already spent so much money, Lu Yuan and Anna both felt a little uncomfortable. Anna, clutching her stomach, said, "I'm not very hungry. If you want to eat, go ahead and eat, but don't bring me anything."
Hearing Anna's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile: "Who said we don't have any food? We still have plenty. We still have the fish we caught at sea. I made some dried fish."
After saying that, Lu Yuan took out some dried fish from his bag and placed it on the table.
Anna was stunned when she saw the dried fish; she had no idea when Lu Yuan had gotten them.
Actually, Lu Yuan obtained these dried fish in his dimensional space. He also raised some ordinary fish in his pond. Through the reproduction of these fish, Lu Yuan would catch some large fish about once a week, kill them, air-dry them, marinate them with various seasonings, and then make them into dried fish for future use.
Anna's mouth watered when she saw the dried fish.
When Lu Yuan placed a dried fish in her hand, she said thank you and then stuffed it into her mouth.
Sea fish and river fish taste different, and Anna didn't even notice the difference. Lu Yuan didn't know if she knew or not, but he didn't plan to bring it up.
Lu Yuan wondered if it would cause trouble if he told the other party about his dimensional space, but he didn't say anything for the time being, nor did he plan to tell them.
If Anna really asks him about it, he'll just make up some excuse to brush her off. As for actually telling her the truth, Lu Yuan is still worried that it might cause her some trouble.
After a quick dinner, it gradually got dark, and the streets began to empty out.
To save electricity, Lu Yuan and his team only turned on a small light and tidied up the room simply.
Lu Yuan glanced at the charcoal in the closet. There was no other way but to burn it, otherwise the room would be too cold to live in. Besides, their room was very large, so they had to save on materials.
Lu Yuan specially obtained some high-performance pine wood from the dimensional space.
The smell of burning pine wood will be similar to that of smoke, so that the room will not be filled with a smoky smell.
After the fire was lit, the temperature in the room gradually rose, and Anna, hiding under the covers, finally felt a bit of warmth.
The nights here are much colder than the nights on the prison island.
The main reason is that this place is near the sea, and it has also been exposed to radiation, which makes the sea breeze very strong. There are no shelters, and when the sea breeze blows, the surface temperature can drop to minus thirty degrees Celsius.
The temperature in the area where they were located was around minus twenty degrees Celsius. In such a low-temperature environment, it would be difficult to survive the night without suitable heating items.
When Lu Yuan arrived, he specifically asked the others how they would spend the night. These people had their own methods of keeping warm. They would plaster mud on their bodies, then add another layer on top, and then cover themselves with another layer.
This method of isolating heat loss is quite effective, but Lu Yuan doesn't plan to do it. It's not only troublesome, but it would also make him very dirty.
