Chapter 76 Chapter 76 The fake couple happily rents a new apartment, Liu Yanran...
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue looked at each other after hearing Liu Yanran's question. They had a brief chat with Luo Qing in the hotel before.
As a "fake couple" now, they can either rent one room or two rooms.
Because Cheng Lixue is still a newcomer, the first copy has not been settled yet, and it is not known how many ghost coins he can get. For the time being, all payments will be mainly made by Li Ying.
If you really move into Ghost City later, you will definitely have to spend Ghost Coins, so you should save as much as possible.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Li Ying asked Liu Yanran.
Although he had read the posts before, the players who rented houses basically shared the space, with three or four people renting a two-bedroom or three-bedroom house, mainly for safety and cost savings.
But this time their copy was a bit troublesome. At least on the surface, the players did not know each other, and their plans were different. Li Ying and Cheng Lixue discussed that it would be best to rent a one-bedroom apartment.
"I live in Building 9, and Sister Luo Qing lives in Unit 1 of Building 9. However, the entire Building 9 is now full." Liu Yanran introduced.
"Currently, most of the players living here are in Buildings 9 and 10. These two buildings are large and suitable for sharing."
"You might also consider Building 11. This and Building 12 are small, one-bedroom apartments. Building 11 is especially so, as it currently houses four of our official players."
"Although I dare not give you any guarantees, we can at least help each other." Liu Yanran said and started operating the computer in front of her.
Luo Qing's building number nine is already full! Sure enough, the players are all very smart and willing to cling to others. There are quite a few who know how to adapt to the times, Li Ying thought.
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue felt a little disappointed, but there was nothing they could do about it. It had only been a few days since they knew they could rent a house in the strange world, and the opportunity was on a first-come, first-served basis.
Compared with other players, they took the initiative to get the business card and rent a house this time, which can be regarded as seizing the initiative.
"Then let's take a look at Building 11. What do you think, Xiaoxue?" Li Ying looked at Cheng Lixue.
Cheng Lixue nodded, "We feel at ease living with official players."
Liu Yanran laughed when she heard this, "Since you're here, don't you know how to pack your luggage? If you don't bring anything, you can come to our place and get two sets."
"Come, let's take a look at these houses first." She turned the computer around and let the two of them look at the pictures of the houses.
"Three of the previously renovated units are now rented out, and the remaining small units are relatively ordinary and a bit old."
"The size of the one-bedroom apartment is a bit small. The small one is more than 30 square meters, and the large one is less than 50 square meters. However, there is no common area in the houses in Guicheng. It is enough for the two of you to live in if you don't have much stuff." Liu Yanran said.
"It's okay. In our undergraduate university dormitory, there are six of us living in one room, which is only a dozen square meters. We have been able to make do for four years." Cheng Lixue said.
"Then let's take a look at these sets." Li Ying took the mouse and looked at a few pictures.
"Okay. Put your luggage here first." Liu Yanran had already finished eating, and so had the two players. After she cleaned up the trash, she opened the cabinet and started looking for the key, took out the contract, and locked the door.
Knowing that Liu Yanran was an official player, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue felt very confident in her. They linked their arms and followed her into the community.
"Well, we are going into the community. It is normal to see anything in the community, understand?" Liu Yanran glanced at the two of them.
The fake couple looked at each other and said, "I understand!"
"Uncle Qin, good afternoon, have you eaten?" Liu Yanran brought people to greet the security guard, and saw that the little dog raised by the security guard rushed towards the people again when he saw them.
Uncle Qin was lying on a lounge chair at the door of the security room, basking in the sun. He waved at them, sipping strong tea from a glass thermos and licking the exquisitely packaged biscuits at hand.
"I've eaten, I'm having the afternoon tea that Xiao Qing brought back. Xiao Liu, have you eaten? He's here to look at the house again. Wow, business is good. You made the right choice in hiring Xiao Qing." Security guard Uncle Qin gave her a thumbs up.
Liu Yanran chuckled and said, "I've eaten. There's no one in the store. Please help keep an eye on the food."
"Absolutely."
Seeing Liu Yanran greeting the natives so familiarly, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue couldn't help but look at her.
As expected of an official boss! His attitude is like chatting with the security guard downstairs. What a role model!
Liu Yanran pointed to the two of them and said, "That's Building 9. Sister Luo Qing and I both live in Unit 1. The one next to it is Building 10."
"After renting the house, I moved around the community normally, or went out to buy groceries and other things, and no monsters attacked me."
"Understood."
She raised an eyebrow at the two of them linking arms, but said nothing and led them towards Building 11.
"There are fitness equipment downstairs here, but they're mostly for the elderly and children to play with. People passing by usually don't invite us. If they do, just refuse and say you're a new tenant."
At this moment, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue's eyes were completely attracted by the fitness area, and they tried their best to control their expressions.
Even though they had seen the extremely outrageous living habits of the indigenous people in the Bubble Hot Spring Hotel, but... there is always someone better than you!
On the few horizontal bars in this equipment area, you can see several white-haired and silver-haired elderly people, lying or crawling on the bars.
No, it’s not quite accurate to say “lying down” or “growing down”.
Some of them stretched out their hands from behind to hold the horizontal bar, while others grew their hair longer and wrapped it around the bar to stabilize their bodies.
I saw this group of old men and women wearing only vests and shorts, fixed on the horizontal bar, spinning in circles at a very slow speed.
It's like...a grill for roasting a whole lamb.
This inappropriate statement flashed through Li Ying's mind, but the picture was really too similar.
If you add more fire below, everyone will be roasted.
The most terrible thing is that these old men and women don't move their entire bodies at the same time. Their heads move 30 degrees, their bodies move 60 degrees, and their feet rotate 90 degrees.
"It seems like the weather in Guicheng is getting hotter recently, and it's become popular among the elderly to sunbathe their backs."
"Different parts of the body need different sun exposure times."
Liu Yanran explained to the two of them that she had seen a lot in the past two days and had become numb.
Hanging on a tree is not hanging, it is a traction exercise for the cervical spine.
Lying down on the horizontal bar is not just lying down, it is a 360-degree full-body back exposure.
Li Ying couldn't help but pull the corner of her mouth.
"Different parts need different drying times." This sounds like different grilling times are required for different parts of the barbecue.
"I'm still a little ignorant." Cheng Lixue murmured, moving closer and closer to the person next to him.
I really don’t know which one is more hellish, the one I saw in the red wine pool of the Bubble Hot Spring Hotel or the “back sunbathing” in front of me.
"I need to remind you that these elderly people who like to maintain their health all live in Building 11 and Building 12. This fitness area is their closest choice and they will use it unless it rains or blows. In addition to their love of exercise, they are pretty good people and they care about young people." Liu Yanran said.
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue nodded silently. Then, Li Ying thought for a moment and said, "What about Building 10?"
It’s quite impactful to go downstairs and see these fancy health exercises every day.
"There are a lot of children there. I can only say that the children's play area is comparable to the elderly exercise area. There is not much difference. You will get used to it."
Liu Yanran looked at the expressions of the two people and found that they were not too out of control. The players had good quality, otherwise they would not have dared to come here to rent a house.
She led the group up the stairs. "There are only two empty rooms in Unit 1 of Building 11, and they're already occupied by our people. Our people are staying in Room 203 in Unit 2. I'll show you Room 403 now."
Unlock the door and walk in. Because it is a small apartment, the layout is visible as soon as you enter.
"The layout of this room is quite good. Although the kitchen is open, the living room and bedroom are separated, and the bedroom is a separate room." Liu Yanran introduced.
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue were both looking around. Cheng Lixue looked left and right. She had never rented a house by herself in reality, but she had fantasized about living alone after graduation.
But nowadays, people are living together before they can even live alone.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this house?" Li Ying asked Liu Yanran.
He had read the posts of those players who rented houses. Some players had nothing wrong with the houses they rented that night, while some players encountered strange things that night.
"To be honest, I'm not sure." Liu Yanran said frankly.
"I recently cleaned this room, and everything is fine from my own observation. But I'm not an Indigenous person, so I can't guarantee if there's anything I haven't discovered."
The living room of this small one-bedroom apartment has a relatively simple decoration. The living room is painted white and has an old suspended ceiling, but the open kitchen intentionally has a glass window. The walls of the dining room are covered with small white tiles. Because the ceiling height is sufficient, the living room and kitchen do not feel cramped together, and the white tones make it look quite large.
"This decoration is quite fresh." Cheng Lixue said.
The rental house in Guicheng is much better than she imagined.
The living room is an integrated combination cabinet, consisting of a tall cabinet with glass doors and a low wooden cabinet, with a small TV in the middle. The bedroom is even simpler, with a wooden bed, a large wardrobe and a chest of drawers.
Li Ying started to check with all the meticulousness she had in the hotel, from the kitchen to the bathroom, especially carefully checking the pitfalls mentioned by the players who rented the house.
Liu Yanran was naturally not in a hurry, and began to communicate with Cheng Lixue about the specific situation of the [Bubble Hot Spring Hotel] copy. The house was not big, and Li Ying supplemented Cheng Lixue while listening.
When she heard that the two of them took the business cards and gave them to other players in the same dungeon, Liu Yanran couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiaoxue, do you think this house is okay?" Li Ying looked at Cheng Lixue after checking. He personally didn't have any requirements for the environment. As long as it was safe and could accommodate bedding, it would be fine.
What he liked most about this room was that official people lived on the second floor, which would be more convenient if any problems arose.
"I think it's pretty good, Brother Li."
"The rent for this room is 1,000, because the overall decoration is pretty good and the area is relatively large." Liu Yanran said.
"This one then?" Li Ying looked at Cheng Lixue.
"Okay." Cheng Lixue nodded.
"Then let's... rent it for three months first." Li Ying thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be too much trouble for him to pay one-third of the deposit and four thousand ghost coins. As for Cheng Lixue, she would have to be given time to grow and accumulate slowly in the next three months.
The two took out their work permits for outsiders, and Liu Yanran took them to check the furniture and the electricity meter. Then they signed the contract, circulated the contract, and waited for Guicheng to issue temporary resident permits.
When they saw the updated documents on their phones, Li Ying and Cheng Lixue both breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that I have the certificate, I am a legal person in Guicheng.
"You can take the subway tomorrow morning, and one of our official comrades should be there to take you with you." Liu Yanran said.
"Comrade Liu, I have a question but I don't know if it's appropriate to ask." Li Ying looked at her.
"It's okay, go ahead." Liu Yanran sent the contract in her hand to Luo Qing for record. The rent and deposit were transferred directly to her sister, but in her hand.
"I want to know, is your work at Ping An Real Estate out of your own will or at the instruction of the government?" Li Ying's eyes were burning.
"Ghost City is short of labor. If we come here to work, do we still need to enter the dungeon?"
Liu Yanran looked at him in some surprise. One should never underestimate the heroes of the world.
After organizing her words, she said, "First question, I was invited to this job by Sister Luo Qing. This might be some kind of privilege for me as the first tenant. It's my personal wish."
"Second question, you asked coincidentally. My dungeon cooldown period has expired, but it was the second day since I became a temporary worker at Ping An Real Estate. I didn't receive any dungeon notifications, nor was I pulled into the dungeon."
"Third, even though you don't have any questions, let me answer them first. Currently, two official players besides me have found jobs in Ghost City."
Li Ying murmured, "As expected."
Sure enough, players can come here to work! Working means you don’t have to enter the dungeon!
Cheng Lixue looked at the two people who were asking and answering each other, her eyes shining. Is this a mature and advanced player?
"Then now, can you please tell me what guesses you have made? Where do these guesses come from?" Liu Yanran looked at him.
Li Ying took out her notebook and said, "Of course, I'll start from the copy..."
*
Ping'an Home Building 9, Unit 1, Room 601.
Luo Qing was lying at home. Her husband drove back at noon and delivered the souvenirs he brought to each household. They were both a little tired, and there was nothing to eat at home, so they simply made some fried noodles with soybean sauce.
Every time I go on a trip, the day of departure and the day of return are always more tiring because of the long journey.
When I think about the end of vacation and having to go back to work, I feel even more exhausted.
My husband had already packed the three suitcases we brought back into different categories. When we got home, he immediately took out the clothes that needed to be washed, and the washing machine in the bathroom was running non-stop.
Xiao Liu sent a message on the phone, and heard the pleasant sound of the payment notification. Luo Qing turned over and opened the phone directly.
Wuhu! Another apartment rented out.
Luo Qing's eyes curved into a smile. Oh, it was a different feeling to have employees under her. She felt so happy. She could receive the money without having to sit in the store.
Although he only has one temporary employee, Luo Qing has already tasted the happiness.
Is this what it feels like to earn money while lying down?
After thinking about it, she first gave Xiao Liu a thumbs up, and then transferred the money.
[Luo Qing]: You transfer 100.00 Ghost Coins to Liu Yanran.
Luo Qing: Xiao Liu, this is your commission for this rental. The commission for each rental is calculated based on the monthly rent and the lease term. Weekly rentals are free of commission, while monthly rentals receive 5% of the rent. Rentals over three months receive 10% of the rent, and rentals over six months receive 15%.
Luo Qing: [Thumbs up] I think you have a lot of talent as an agent, but the job also requires careful consideration. If you plan to become a full-time agent in the future, the salary will be the same as it is now, with eight days off per month. I'll give you a guaranteed minimum salary of 3,300 plus commission. Take your time to consider it. When you're ready, we can sign a contract.
Luo Qing's company is not a big one, so naturally the only temporary worker she has can be made a regular employee whenever she wants.
Liu Yanran, who was communicating with two new players in the house, saw the message and her butt bounced up from the sofa.
Li Ying and Cheng Lixue blinked, their faces alert. "What's wrong, sister? Is this sofa prickly? Is there something strange underneath?"
"No, no, no, I'm too excited." Liu Yanran took a deep breath.
"I'm going to be a regular employee." She couldn't stop smiling. Salary and commission didn't matter; the main thing was to be a regular employee! A regular employee!
Luo Qing: Oh, by the way, if you become a regular employee, you'll also get social security and medical insurance. I can't afford the provident fund, haha. But there will be tiered bonuses based on accumulated sales volume. I'll think about the rest later.
Ghost City actually has social security, medical insurance, and provident fund! Liu Yanran was shocked, and Li Ying and Cheng Lixue were even more shocked.
The two of them had just arrived to rent a house, and not only had the boss found a job, he had also been given a permanent position, and it was a job under Luo Qing!
Liu Yanran: Okay, no problem, sister. I think I'm particularly suited to being an agent. I've never done it before, but you've completely discovered my talent in this area. You're my mentor!
Liu Yanran: I don't need to worry about time. I'll be a full-time employee tomorrow! I think being a real estate agent is my ideal life. Being able to help every tenant find their home is a very fulfilling career!
Liu Yanran really wanted to scream to the sky at this moment. If Li Ying and Cheng Lixue were not still here, she would want to do six backflips on the spot to maintain her reliable image as an official player.
From then on, she was the first general under Sister Luo Qing.
Just asking, who else?!
