Presumably afraid that the people living inside would hear, he spoke in a very low voice and didn't even dare to look in that direction much. When he did occasionally glance at them, his eyes were filled with admiration.
"They arrived earlier?"
"Of course, the earlier the bus arrives, the later the passengers on the newer buses will arrive. You're considered to have arrived quickly. If you had arrived any later, the accommodations would probably have been even worse."
Hearing this, the group felt curious. They had all stayed in the worst and dirtiest rooms before, so they weren't afraid of where they would be staying now.
Only Chenghua looked unhappy. The closer he got to the leftmost building, the deeper his disgust became. In the end, he even covered his mouth and nose with his hand, and his voice came out in a muffled tone, "If my dad knew that you made me live in a place like this, he would definitely not let you off easily!"
Presumably hearing such remarks for the first time in a place like this, the passengers leading the way all looked surprised. They looked at Chenghua cautiously and asked, "Who is your father?"
“My dad is…” Chenghua abruptly stopped, glaring fiercely at the passenger who had spoken to him, “Why should I tell you! Just show me the way!”
Mo Shuwan couldn't help but rub her temples; these criminals were all incredibly difficult to deal with.
The passenger who had been choked by Cheng Hua's words gradually turned pale, but seeing Yun Chen's expressionless face, he suppressed his thoughts for the time being and continued to lead the way with a pursed lip.
Despite the fact that the buildings on the far left seemed to be very close together, it took them more than half an hour to walk there at their usual pace. When they finally arrived, the only word to describe their impression of the buildings was "dirty and messy".
"These are the only rooms left. Hurry up and check into the scenic area so you don't delay other passengers and then there won't be any rooms left."
Following the other party's suggestion, the group walked to the door and saw a huge display screen showing the names of each room. The red ones were occupied, while the green ones were unoccupied.
Of these rooms, most of the lower floors had been vacated, leaving only the middle and upper floors. Chen Jiaxu was puzzled, "Isn't our bus number one? The other passengers shouldn't have arrived before us, so how come there are already so many people living here?"
The passenger standing next to Yun Chenjing said with a smile, "Some passengers from other old buses didn't want to live in the other two buildings, so they moved here directly."
"...There's such a thing as this?"
Aside from the speechless Chen Jiaxu, Mo Shuwan and the others knew that things were definitely not as simple as the other party claimed, but at this point they had no way to verify it. They could only follow the instructions on the screen and move their wrists, which were wearing wristbands, closer to the scanning location.
"Please select a room; the price will gradually decrease with each floor you go up."
Only four floors of the low-rise buildings remained, and all the floors below the fourth floor were occupied. Not knowing the difference between high-rise and low-rise buildings, the group discussed it and decided to choose the middle floors.

"You will need to pay 1,000 points per day. Please select whether you are staying alone or as a couple."
It seems that a room can only accommodate a maximum of two people. There are exactly six people in their team, so they chose to stay in a double room. They originally thought that two people could get 1,000 points a day, but it turned out that each person could get 1,000 points a day.
Because of the special nature of this mission, Cheng Hua didn't need to go through a mission world. The bus directly gave him a bracelet representing his identity, and now he had to use his initial points to pay for rent.
Cheng Hua was utterly shocked, unable to believe he was penniless. "What will happen if I can't pay the rent?!"
"If you can't pay the rent, you'll be evicted. Of course, we've never had a situation where we couldn't pay the rent before, so we don't know what will happen after we're evicted."
The young man's answer made Cheng Hua a little uneasy, but he pretended to be calm and didn't let it show. He still maintained a cool, arrogant and domineering demeanor as if he had someone above him.
Seeing that Mo Shuwan and the others were about to go in, the young man chuckled twice, "Excuse me, please pay us at least 10,000 points."
"On what grounds?"
“We’ve explained the rules to you.” After saying that, the young man took out a black card from his pocket. He was going to hand it to Yun Chenjing, but after Yun Chenjing glanced at it, he changed his hand and handed the card to Mo Shuwan instead. “Friendly reminder: if you fail to pay us the points within ten minutes, you will receive one thousand points every ten minutes.”
"...Who are you trying to fool?"
The young man smiled at Chen Jiaxu but did not answer the question.
Mo Shuwan and the others had not received any notification yet. They would only know whether the young man's words were true or false by verifying them. Ten minutes later, Mo Shuwan, who was holding the card, saw the message sent to her phone.
Please pay 11,000 points immediately.
Mo Shuwan raised an eyebrow, closed the line, and then clicked the transfer button. She didn't need to type anything; 11,000 points were transferred out. The moment the points were transferred, the young man seemed to receive some kind of notification, and his smile became even brighter.
He reached out and took the card, chuckling, "Thank you for your patronage. By the way, considering how many points you've contributed to our membership, just a reminder: you can't lay a hand on any bus passengers here."
After they finished speaking, the group walked away together. They hadn't gone far when they saw several other groups of people coming to meet them. Because the distance wasn't very far, they could clearly hear their conversation.
"Hehehe, I told you long ago that this method would work. As long as the other side has even a little bit of strength, they won't let us get close. If someone comes along 'kindly' to guide us and explain the rules, how could they possibly refuse?"
