The housing prices are really expensive. Even the worst houses cost more than 500,000 low-grade spirit stones. No wonder the old man guarding the sand table sleeps so soundly. It turns out that no one is interested in this place.
Lai Siyu looked at the sandbox on the left which was surrounded by a crowd of people, and her little bitter face was so worried that it seemed like tears were about to burst out of her eyes.
A female cultivator in a pure white dress with three red plum blossoms embroidered on her collar walked towards Lai Siyu. "Fellow Daoist, do you want to rent a house?"
"Yeah." Lai Siyu nodded. The deacons and monks in this hall all wore gray robes with three plum blossoms embroidered on their collars.
Could this female cultivator be a foreman or something like that? Lai Siyu wondered.
"Fellow Daoist, you only need to pay twenty low-grade spirit stones to choose a room on the second floor." The female cultivator looked at Lai Siyu with a smile. Seeing the doubt in her eyes, she continued to explain, "The second floor is less crowded, and you can choose the better rooms first."
"Oh." Lai Siyu immediately understood. If she gave them twenty more spirit stones, she could enjoy VIP treatment, but they were being too ruthless. Twenty low-grade spirit stones? How many chicken feet would she have to sell to earn back that?
"Twenty dollars is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?"
The female cultivator looked at Lai Siyu as if she were a monster. This guy even came to the Bedroom Hall to bargain. Did he think this was a vegetable market?
Poor bastard! The female cultivator turned around and walked away with an arrogant look on her face, thinking it was such a waste of her time.
"She looks down on you!" The red squirrel couldn't help but mutter in a low voice. Seeing Lai Siyu's knife-like eyes, he quickly covered his mouth with his little paws.
Hey, do I really have to squeeze in?
Isn't it just bargaining? If you can't bargain, why don't you say something? What's the point of just walking away without saying a word?
Since he knew that the second floor was the VIP room, Lai Siyu went there by himself. When he reached the stairs, he gave twenty low-grade spirit stones to the gray-robed monk guarding there. The gray-robed monk then opened the restriction at the stairs and let Lai Siyu go upstairs.
The female cultivator in the white dress regretted it so much when she saw this. The other party had just agreed on a price, so why did she leave? Now she couldn't get the commission, and the person guarding the stairs got it for nothing.
When I went up to the second floor, there were indeed few people there.
There are a total of 25 models on the second floor, 20 of which are for rent and 5 are for sale. The only difference from the first floor is that there are groups of people looking at the sand table used to display the properties for sale.
Rich people really like VIP treatment.
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to rent or buy a house?" A female cultivator in a white dress welcomed Lai Siyu in with a smile on her face.
"I want to rent a house, preferably a shop with a yard." Lai Siyu replied.
"Fellow Daoist, please come this way." The female cultivator led Lai Siyu to a model sand table and pointed at it, introducing her to Lai Siyu: "The green dots here are all unrented shops. The shops with courtyards are larger. If you like any of them, please let me know. My name is Lvliu."
Lai Siyu carefully examined the sand table and finally selected a few shops far from the city center. "Lvliu, I want to choose one of these shops."
"Okay." The female cultivator stretched out her hand and pointed at one of the shops, and the shadow of that shop immediately appeared in front of Lai Siyu.
1:1 all-round stereoscopic images, the street in front of the door, the furnishings inside the house, all the details were presented before her eyes.
Lai Siyu suddenly felt that the extra spirit stones he paid were worth it.
"This one." In the end, Lai Siyu chose a two-story building with three shops facing the street and three courtyards inside.
"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones a month. Fellow Daoist, please follow me to pay."
Still unable to hold back, the girl weakly asked, "Can I get a discount?"
Upon hearing this, the red squirrel quickly covered his eyes with his paws. "Stupid girl, do you want to be disliked again? This is so embarrassing!"
"If you can pay two years' rent with one sexual gesture, I can exempt you from one month's rent." The female cultivator in white dress said with a smile.
The red squirrel stared at the female cultivator in white with wide eyes. What happened? Now that someone else has changed, can they discuss it?
We can negotiate! Lai Siyu immediately became excited. She counted on her fingers and said, "Five hundred low-grade spirit stones a month, six thousand low-grade spirit stones a year, twelve thousand low-grade spirit stones in two years. Excluding the five hundred low-grade spirit stones I get as a discount, I have to pay eleven thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones. But, I don't have enough spirit stones. I'm still short. What should I do?"
"How about you choose another shop?"
"No, we have a big family."
"Then you can pay one year's rent at a time."
"Can you offer discounts once a year? I'd feel bad if I knew there were discounts but couldn't enjoy them. I might even become depressed..."
The red squirrel is absolutely devastated. Oh, peat, please have some moral integrity. He has become depressed and sick just for a few spirit stones. It's really embarrassing!
"Then how many spirit stones will you still need if you pay for two years?" The female cultivator thought for a moment and asked.
Lai Siyu stretched out five fingers and said weakly: "Five hundred..."
"Then please wait a moment. I'll go ask the steward."
After a while, the female cultivator returned, beaming with joy. "Fellow Daoist, please come with me to pay the bill. I had to work hard to convince the steward to waive two months' rent. If you need to rent or buy a house again in the future, be sure to look for Lvliu."
"Okay!" Lai Siyu happily went with Lvliu to get the spirit stones.
After handing over the spirit stones, Lvliu recorded Lai Siyu's information on a jade slip, and then handed the jade slip of the shop to Lai Siyu.
When Lai Siyu was about to leave, Lvliu sent another gray-robed monk to take her there.
Monks are not allowed to use flying magic tools in Peng City, but puppet carriages are allowed to operate in the city.
After leaving the Bedroom Hall, a puppet carriage was already waiting at the door. The gray-robed monk invited Lai Siyu onto the carriage, then he took out a jade token and embedded it on the horse's butt. The jade token flashed with a soft light and then merged with the horse's butt.
"Fellow Daoist, take care. This puppet car will take you to your destination." The gray-robed monk saluted Lai Siyu.
"Didn't you send me off?"
"Fellow Daoist, we in Fangshitang always use this kind of puppet carriage to transport distinguished guests. Don't worry, the jade slip contains the information of the place you want to go, and it will take you there accurately."
Well, Lai Siyu had seen it all: a puppet carriage! A high-tech braking and navigation driverless car!
The carriage started moving. This seemingly clumsy wooden carriage was surprisingly stable to sit in, and it knew how to avoid obstacles when it encountered them.
Twenty low-grade spirit stones were indeed well spent.
After arriving at the destination, Lai Siyu got off the carriage and it turned around and went back.
The street and houses in front of her were exactly the same as what she saw in the Fangshi Palace. She took out the jade slip and placed it in the groove of the door lock, and the door lock opened with a "click".
Lai Siyu pushed the door open and entered. Three spacious shops (they were connected, with no partitions in between) were scattered with tables, chairs, and benches. She had chosen these shops because of the remaining items inside, which would be perfect for opening a restaurant.
