Chapter 278 278. Life of Outsiders
"If you have a household registration, I would suggest you build a house, a single apartment, mainly for the resettlement of outsiders."
The intermediary lady is a sub-human.
Virginia discovered it by accident when she saw her rat's tail.
After paying a deposit of two silver dollars, Virginia got the key to the room in the apartment building.
Numbers 11-15, with the number three written on the back of the brass key.
The demi-human lady from the Rat Clan pointed to a tall building not far away and said, "It's the one behind it that's moving. Go ask the guard. It's Building 3."
"good."
Virginia went there on her own.
When I came to the apartment complex, I found the environment here is very good and there is a lot of greenery.
It is surrounded by iron fences, forming a relatively independent space.
"Excuse me, which building is number three?"
The security guard was a man with a broken arm and one eye blind. I don't know what happened to him to end up like this.
It was probably because of the war! Virginia followed the doorman's instructions and came to the bottom of the building.
Just then I saw a platform falling from the sky.
When it was stable, a group of people came down talking and laughing.
Is this the elevator?
Virginia saw someone going up and hurried to follow.
The man pressed a button and the elevator began to rise.
Virginia looked at the rope above her head nervously, feeling that it was not stable. The hollow platform swayed slightly in the wind.
The feet are getting further and further away from the ground.
With a bang, the platform stopped at the sixth floor and the man stepped out into the corridor.
Virginia hesitated slightly and chose to press the button again.
The platform continued to rise, this time directly to the top floor, the twelfth floor.
Virginia walked towards the rooftop and watched the elevator slowly descending behind her.
She did not go downstairs to see the apartment, but walked around the rooftop to look at the scenery.
The prosperous Donggang City is indeed a unique and magical city. An alchemical vehicle like a long snake passed by in the distance, emitting white smoke.
Virginia was in a daze for a long time.
She was very curious about the principle of this alchemical vehicle. She heard that it utilized the power of steam.
Go down from the twelfth floor of the rooftop to the eleventh floor.
Walking down the dark corridor, she found the house number that corresponded to the key.
“That should be it.”
Being alone for so long, Virginia developed the habit of talking to herself.
He inserted the key into the brass lock, turned it gently, and the door opened.
The room was dark and the lighting was not very good.
But it is spacious, with wooden floors and various furniture.
The rental apartment was naturally furnished, and the price of two silver dollars a month was not cheap. Before the development of Donggang City, the average person's monthly salary was only two to three silver dollars.
Of course, the current market conditions generally see a doubling of growth.
For those who have lived in the capital, Morning Light City, it is not difficult to understand.
Virginia walked around the room. There was a bedroom, living room, kitchen, toilet, and balcony. Although small, it had everything.
"It's OK. It would be better if the lighting was better. What about drinking water?"
Virginia found a faucet that she had seen someone use before, so she turned it on and clean water immediately flowed out.
If we come a few days earlier, the water may not be available.
That is to say, the temperature has recently risen above zero degrees and the frozen water pipes have begun to melt.
Virginia was very thirsty, so she drank the water in one gulp and breathed a long sigh of relief.
As a single person, there is nothing to be dissatisfied about here.
She lay on the balcony railing, staring at the gray sky in a daze.
Once you have made up your mind, choose here.
After making the decision, she went downstairs and returned to the agency shop.
This time take the stairs.
I don’t know how long it rained, but I finally saw the ground.
"Have you decided?"
"It's decided, but it's a little expensive."
"The top floor is the most expensive. If you live on the seventh or eighth floor, it will be much cheaper."
Virginia looked through the price list again. The cheapest rent for that building was only one silver dollar and twenty copper pence, and the general price was around one silver dollar and fifty copper pence.
The price of the top floor is indeed the highest, and few people rent it.
She touched her pocket hesitantly, knowing that under the current circumstances, extravagance and waste were absolutely unacceptable.
Although living on the top floor, it is very romantic.
"Rooms with the same number all have the same layout, right?"
"Yes."
Virginia finally chose a room on the fourth floor.
The cheapest one only costs one silver dollar and twenty copper pennies, and is 42 square meters in size.
With the key, she went to the supermarket and bought some daily necessities, such as bedding, clothes and so on.
I will be taking a trial class at school next year, and I want to make myself look as presentable as possible.
Virginia carried a heavy cotton quilt and arrived at the door of her new home on the fourth floor, panting.
Still took out the key and opened the door.
The room was very clean, which relieved her anxiety.
After making the bed, I went downstairs to buy some things. I spent money like water, and spent almost all the money I saved with great difficulty. I spent the whole afternoon running around and shopping.
As dusk approached, Virginia went to a noodle restaurant near her new home and ordered a bowl of relatively affordable seafood noodles.
Pay a copper penny to the noodle shop waiter.
The sky outside had unknowingly turned dark.
"Ma'am, I suggest you go to the bathhouse to take a bath. It's so cold, and you can easily get sick if you take a bath with ice water."
The waiter at the noodle shop kindly reminded.
"Bathhouse?" Virginia's heart moved, and she nodded thoughtfully: "Excuse me, which way is it?"
"They're everywhere. There are three on this street alone." The waiter raised his hand to indicate.
Just then, the lights on the nearby streets suddenly came on.
The city was already lit up before dusk faded away. Virginia's eyes were dull, and she didn't even notice the waiter put the noodles in front of her.
The continuous ringing of bells brought her back to her senses, but her mind was still in a mess.
"Has this city defeated the darkness?"
Dazzling lights were everywhere, just like the magic lights I had seen at the Ebon Fort banquet.
At that time, she could only watch from afar and could not get close.
Now, I can walk freely under the lights.
I found a bathhouse on the way and went back to get a set of clean clothes.
A copper penny disappeared easily from my pocket, and the store owner gave me a piece of soap the size of a fingernail.
Virginia was recommended to buy a pair of slippers and a white towel. Unlike the bathhouses she imagined where everyone bathed together, the bathhouses in Donglin City paid great attention to personal privacy.
One cubicle per person.
Virginia pushed open the wooden door and walked into the compartment, followed by a staff member at the door.
"See that metal handle? Just twist it gently and hot water will come out."
Virginia turned around as instructed, and the warm water from the shower head immediately wet her clothes.
It's like rain.
She quickly closed the door to prevent others from laughing at her embarrassment.
