Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Beautiful agent orders two apartments online! ...
Luo Qing led the house-viewing team to Building No. 10. Both were large-sized buildings in Ping An Home. The biggest difference between Building No. 10 and Building No. 9 was that the highest floor of this building was the sixth. However, the sixth floor had an additional second-floor attic, so it could basically be regarded as a normal seventh floor.
"In Building 10, I remember there is a room on the top floor of Unit 1, Room 603, with a total of four bedrooms. If you know each other or are good friends, you can rent this one. The price is quite reasonable." Luo Qing introduced proactively.
The rental price of a top-floor apartment is always cheaper. Although it is large, it is prone to leaking when it rains and getting cold in winter, so it is often not popular with the public.
"Like a house on the top floor, this one only rents for two thousand Gui coins a month."
"Other large apartments are basically two-bedroom units, and a better renovation would cost an extra 100 or 200 yuan."
None of the eight players this time have any plans to "live alone" for the time being.
Firstly, they were all new to the dungeon and felt uneasy without a companion. Secondly, for most ordinary dungeon players, financial constraints were common. If they only managed a C or D rating, the dungeon rewards would be even fewer.
C-level coins still give you a thousand, while D-level coins might only give you a few hundred! If you save up enough money to buy an item, most items have a limited number of uses, so you have to use them up before buying more. It's very difficult to save up these ghost coins.
The eight players looked at each other. There were four men and four women in total, and they shared a room with two people of the same sex. The average rent for the eight people was 250 yuan.
Well, although the number is a bit unlucky, it’s cheap!
"Then let's go and take a look first?" Lin Lin looked at the others.
"You can take a look first. I don't like the top floor very much. Let's take a look at other places after you finish." Shu Hao said bitterly.
His house is on the top floor. His parents bought it for the free space and large terrace on the top floor. As a result, it rains heavily outside and drizzles inside. It freezes to death in winter and burns to death in summer. He really has psychological trauma.
In Unit 1, Building 10, Luo Qing looked at the records on his phone.
"Unit 1 still has 301, 401, and 603 on the top floor available. Let's take a look at the third floor first.
"Building No. 10 is the building with the largest apartment area in Ping'an Home. Unit 01 is 114 square meters and Unit 03 is 108 square meters. There is no public area in the community at all. However, because it was built a long time ago, some of the exterior facilities are definitely old. Moreover, they are all two-bedroom units, and the price is a little more expensive than Building No. 9." Luo Qing said.
"The advantages are of course obvious, because the units are large, and most of them are open from north to south, with few protruding corners or triangles, and the overall layout is quite square."
When Luo Qing decided to settle down in Ping'an Community, he carefully compared Building No. 9 and Building No. 10.
Because there's no common area in the complex, the 80-plus square meter apartment in Building 9 is perfectly adequate for two people, and you can even convert an extra room into a room. The 100-plus square meter apartment in Building 10 looks empty, and you'll have to pay more deed tax if you're over 89 square meters! That's a 0.5 percentage point difference!
After comparing prices, the stingy Luo Xiaoqing finally decided to buy Building No. 9. The two-bedroom apartment in Building No. 9 is the most square, cost-effective, and more suitable for the couple.
The door of 301 opened and Luo Qing motioned the tenants to come in.
Lin Lin was the first to walk in and saw the old-fashioned leather sofa, the kind with a chaise longue.
There's a wardrobe with sliding doors on the wall behind the sofa, and the TV wall opposite is a combination of wall cloth and dark glass. Even in real life, this is a style that's been around for a while.
There is a large crystal chandelier, and the open kitchen area is equipped with a European-style dining table and bright yellow cabinets. The floor is a more common wood color.
"Oh my gosh!" Wang Zixuan went to the bathroom and screamed.
The tiles in the bathroom are tiled in the shape of a large naked woman, which is shocking. The shower head and bathtub are integrated with glass. Even if you just want to take a shower, you need to get into the bathtub. You can pull the glass door to separate the wet and dry areas.
"The decoration of 301 is quite good. Although it is old, you can tell that it was where I lived before." Luo Qing said.
The master bedroom has a leather headboard, and it's obvious that the furniture is not cheap. There is a whole row of wardrobes on one side, and a European-style chest of drawers and dressing table at the foot of the bed.
The second bedroom also has the same solid wood wardrobe, as well as a solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a wooden bed.
"Both are 1.80-meter beds." Fan Mingrui looked around, pulling out the drawers and opening the wardrobes one by one. Shu Hao turned lights on and off everywhere, and the players were trying to find any flaws in the house.
Especially...the sewers.
[Rugui] The large amount of hair pouring out of the sewer described by several players in the forum post is really enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.
The eight players worked together to check everything they could. Shu Hao took the initiative to ask about the price, "Excuse me, how much is the rent for this room?"
"Two thousand four." Luo Qing said.
"A large apartment is definitely more expensive, but it's still a good deal if you share the rent."
Even Luo Qing couldn't find any fault with Room 301. If he had to say anything, the decoration was outdated and young people would find it old-fashioned.
"For four people, the average cost per person is 600 yuan, which is not bad. But let's continue to look around. This floor is also good." Uncle Ma Yongfu said.
After visiting Unit 1 of 301, you only need to climb one floor to reach 401.
"This one is the most expensive. I'm not sure if you will like it. It's decorated in Chinese style," Luo Qing said.
After the door opened, the players who came in fell silent.
The decoration is indeed well-decorated and luxurious, but the gloomy-colored rosewood furniture, matched with the large white walls, gives people the first impression that it is not luxurious and wealthy, but gloomy.
This is a residential house with a limited ceiling height, so whether it is the dark screen or the visible antique display cabinet, combined with the carved sofa, the sense of oppression is even greater.
Not to mention sleeping here, players feel that just looking at it for one more moment will easily give them nightmares.
If there is any noise in the middle of the night, the room will be pitch black and it will be very scary.
"No, no, I absolutely can't accept this one." Lin Lin waved her hands. She knew it was fine mahogany furniture, but she really couldn't appreciate it. Just by looking at it, she could imagine a string of horror stories from the underworld.
The young men retreated, and Luo Yuying and Ma Yongfu shook their heads. Everyone gave up. Luo Qing opened the door for less than two minutes before locking it again and leading the group directly to the sixth floor.
"There's only one unit left on the sixth floor, the one I mentioned as the top floor."
On the stairwell landing from the fifth to the sixth floor, players saw a huge vat.
"Is this... a sauerkraut jar?" Fan Mingrui took a glance at it.
"Yes, that's right. Since 603 has been empty, this tank was left here. It's quite heavy and no one moved it." Luo Qing explained.
While they were talking, they arrived at room 603. Luo Qing opened the door first and walked into the middle of the corridor.
"Come on, come on, everyone, come in. The layout of this house has been greatly renovated. There are two bedrooms on the first floor..."
At the entrance of 603 is a shoe cabinet and dressing area, and then you come to the corridor of this "first floor". On the left is the south-facing large living room, south-facing second bedroom, south-facing master bedroom, and on the right is the north-facing dining room, north-facing kitchen, stairwell, and north-facing storage room.
Standing in the corridor, the bathroom is at the end of the corridor. It is sandwiched between the master bedroom and the storage room, but it is very large, with double basins and separate shower and toilet areas.
It can be seen that the planning of this house is very good, making people feel that no space is wasted.
"This room is really nice." Wang Zixuan was a little surprised. This top floor was much better than he thought. It was even decorated a little newer. The living room was modern. In addition to the long sofa, there were also armchairs and a futon.
"There doesn't seem to be a washing machine in the bathroom." Liu Haoran stood at the bathroom door, looked at the somewhat empty room and thought for a while, finally remembering what was missing.
"The washing machine is on this side of the kitchen. This is the north-facing balcony. There are two washing machines, but one is older." Luo Qing said.
This top floor room is in really good condition, otherwise Luo Qing wouldn’t have recommended it.
After exploring the first floor, the eight players went up to the second floor. The second floor didn't have any finer divisions; the bathroom and storage room were in the same locations as the first floor. However, the bedroom adjacent to the bathroom was very large, like two bedrooms on the first floor combined, with two single beds, two desks, and a bookcase.
"This is the master bedroom on the second floor. It has a sloping roof." Luo Qing pointed to the sloping roof.
"It looks like there are two children living here?" Luo Yuying asked.
"Why let the child live on the top floor?" Ma Yongfu couldn't help but frowned.
"Maybe the child wanted to do it voluntarily. When I was a child, I read novels and I was particularly fascinated by the attic and the secret place on the ceiling." Liu Haoran said.
The kitchen, dining room and living room are located on the first floor. The second floor is not divided, but is a completely connected large open space with rows of bookshelves, tea tables, and treadmills, which seems to integrate fitness, social networking and learning functions.
"I'm actually a little tempted by the top floor, but there are only six people living here at most, with three bedrooms," Shu Hao sighed.
"However, I would still choose the one on the third floor," he continued.
In reality, he had already vowed never to live on the top floor again!
"But it's better not to live in this bedroom on the second floor." Liu Haoran thought for a moment and said.
If two people live on the second floor, with stairs blocking the way, if something really happens, the people on the first floor may not be able to hear anything.
Luo Qing hadn't even taken this group of tenants to see Unit 2, but the eight of them had already started discussing things among themselves.
After the final discussion, Shu Hao, Ma Yongfu, Luo Yuying and Lin Lin lived in Room 301, while Wang Zixuan, Chen Fangli, Liu Haoran and Fan Mingrui shared the top floor 603.
Due to financial constraints, they temporarily signed a month-to-month rent and payment contract, and stipulated in the contract that they had priority in renewing the lease.
For players, the most important thing is to obtain the identity of Ghost City. Whether the players you share the apartment with are compatible, and what their living habits are, are all later matters.
Building No. 10 successfully opened two orders!
The rent for 301 was 2,400 yuan, and the monthly rent for 603 was 2,000 yuan. After everyone pooled their money together to pay the rent, they signed the contract and applied for a residence permit according to the instructions in the post.
Sure enough, all eight of them obtained temporary resident status, and their faces were filled with joy for successfully replicating the strategy.
The new tenants were happy, and Luo Qing was happy too.
Working part-time and renting a house earns me 6,000 yuan a day, that’s awesome!
From showing the new tenants the house to signing the contract, it was only half past five. Luo Qing felt that he had had an extra fulfilling day today.
After taking the new tenants back to the store to pick up the things they bought, Luo Qing gave them some instructions.
"That's right!" She slapped her head and quickly took out the key chains she had bought at the temple fair from the drawer. She found a few key chains from Building 10 and handed them to them.
"Are you moving today? If you need a stair climber, come to Building 9 and get it."
"I can't. I won't stay here tonight." Wang Zixuan said.
"We don't need the stair climbing machine for the time being."
After separating from Luo Qing, it was almost six o'clock and the players were a little hungry. Now that they had obtained the status of temporary residents of Ghost City, they could buy tickets to return to reality. The players were discussing whether to go back or not.
The first person to decide to stay tonight was Lin Lin.
"I brought a sleeping bag and blanket, so sleeping tonight shouldn't be a problem. I think in real life, you have to live there for six months to get a residence permit. It shouldn't be that simple to get one right after signing the contract here."
"If I don't stay here tonight, it would be like running away right after getting my identity. I don't know if there will be any hidden dangers."
After hearing what Lin Lin said, Wang Zixuan, who was originally tempted to return to reality, suddenly wavered.
"Also, I don't know if there are any old players living here now. There must be some things that are inconvenient to say in the post. I hope to meet someone." Chen Fangli added.
As they were talking, Liu Yanran appeared in front of them and said directly, "Hello everyone, are you planning to return tonight? If you don't plan to return for the time being, you can come and borrow a set of luggage from me."
"My last name is Liu, and I'm the first tenant in this community."
There are currently 9 official players including Liu Yanran who have settled in Ping'an Home. They have brought in a lot of things from reality through space backpacks, especially the luggage share for each person, and have prepared a lot for the comrades who will come in in the future.
"You're actually a player?!" Wang Zixuan looked at Liu Yanran in shock. During the day, these two girls were practically invisible in the art gallery, rarely speaking and simply following Luo Qing around.
"Indeed, you are an official." Lin Lin said.
In the Renhe Art Museum, Liu Yanran woke them up during the photography exhibition, and later bought illustration books with the players. At that time, she doubted Liu Yanran's identity.
After a while of chattering, the eight players went to the official temporary dormitory to borrow their luggage. Although Lin Lin didn't need to borrow any, she followed along.
"You don't have to return the luggage, but after returning to reality, I hope you can contact the local Special Affairs Bureau to report and work together to recreate the experience of this [Renhe Art Museum] dungeon. You can also pick up a set of luggage locally and send it to us when you return to Ghost City." Official player Qu Feng said.
This was a temporary help plan that Liu Yanran and several of her comrades who stayed behind in Guicheng came up with.
The official has limited manpower entering the Ghost City now, and the actual supplies are nothing, but they also have their own tasks. As more and more players come in in the future, they cannot always help the players.
"no problem."
"I understand. I understand."
*
On the night of May 30th.
For this group of players, the first night in the ghost city was both fresh and a little scary.
Having already borrowed luggage from the official, they felt embarrassed to continue eating other people's food, so the eight players gathered together to take out the food they brought with them, and managed to put together a table of nice self-heating pre-prepared meals.
After eating and drinking, the players returned to their newly rented house and began to read the illustrated book together.
"You're right, this painting is really good, with ups and downs." Wang Zixuan said.
"Just looking at this life diary, it feels very similar to our real life."
In Room 603, four people gathered in the living room to read illustrated books, two on the sofa, one on the futon, and one in the armchair.
"Wow, I saw this paragraph about someone going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables at a cheap price, but because they were too young and didn't know the prices, they were charged a high price and had their vegetables weighed down, and they also had bad vegetables hidden away. My goodness, these unscrupulous vegetable vendors are all the same." Liu Haoran said.
While watching and talking casually, Fan Mingrui, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly raised his head.
"Did you hear any noise?"
As soon as she said this, the other three immediately looked up.
"What's that sound?"
"I don't think I heard it."
"Where?"
"I'm not sure." Fan Mingrui looked up at the chandelier in the living room. It was always on and seemed to be fine.
"It felt like there was a little sizzle, but now it's gone."
The four of them closed their mouths, and their quiet breathing could be heard, but there was no sound at all.
The player's five senses are very sensitive, so why didn't anyone else hear it?
Fan Mingrui frowned. She was a little sensitive to noise and sometimes even had auditory hallucinations. Could it be that she was hallucinating?
She didn't hear any more sound until she was about to go to bed.
The bedroom on this floor has double basins. Even if no one plans to take a shower, two people can wash together.
Fan Mingrui took off her glasses and washed her face. They had deliberately left the water in the bathroom for a while before using it. She took out a tissue from the backpack to wipe her face, and her eyes paused again.
"Haoran, did you see anything?"
Liu Haoran just wiped his face and asked, "Ah?"
Fan Mingrui put on his glasses again and looked towards the bright corridor.
No, nothing.
But just now, when she took off her glasses, washed her face, and looked up, she clearly saw a dark shadow.
"Sister Fan, don't think too much. There are four of us. If not, let Brother Chen and the others come and sleep on the floor." Liu Haoran comforted her.
Fan Mingrui thought about it and decided to tell Chen Fangli and Wang Zixuan that in this world, no detail can be taken lightly.
After listening to her story, the two of them did not hesitate and immediately started moving bedding to the master bedroom to prepare to sleep on the floor. Safety is the most important thing.
At night, the lights in the master bedroom were still on, and the four players were dozing with their eyes closed.
The light in the master bedroom is a pistil-shaped chandelier, which is yellowish in color and not very bright.
Sizzle...sizzle.
As if there was a bad connection, the two light bulbs began to flicker.
The six stamens suddenly became like a discotheque, with each bulb twitching and flashing in turn.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom...
Outside the closed door of the master bedroom, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps going up and down the stairs.
All four players opened their eyes.
There's something fishy in this room.
