Shen Tangtang took the list given by the district chief uncle and walked slowly to the exchange hall.
It was 9 o'clock in the morning. There were not many people in the hall and there was no need to queue. Shen Tang went directly to the house rental window and handed over the form.
"Brother, I need to pay the rent."
The waiter at the window was a young man in a neat work suit. He took the order from Shen Tangtang with a smile and asked, "Are you looking to rent room 1563 in the East City Slums? This house seems to have been empty for several years! I heard it's still noisy... ahem, it's for a month, right?"
Shen Tangtang pretended not to understand and nodded, “Yes.”
"Well, okay, tell me your name and number."
The waiter adjusted his facial expression and put on an impeccable smile.
After Shen Tangtang confirmed her name and number, she paid one month’s rent and walked out of the exchange hall with her key.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky and it is the hottest time of the day.
Shen Tangtang took a mask from her backpack, put it on, and walked away from the sun.
Half an hour later, no matter how slowly she walked, she still climbed up the hill.
I could see the house I rented from a distance.
There is no house within a hundred meters, and the nearest house happens to be at the foot of the mountain along the road.
I didn't see many people along the way. It must be too hot and no one wanted to show up.
It was almost lunchtime, and every household in the slums had lit a fire, and the aroma of rice filled the air.
Life in the slums is much better than in the shanty towns, and the number of people going out to receive collection tasks is higher than in the shanty towns.
Shen Tangtang thought that it was probably time to harvest rice in Dawn City.
Now that she has plenty of food in her space, she doesn't have to compete with others for it.
Shen Tangtang withdrew her gaze from the mountain and turned to walk towards her house.
The mountain is desolate and the weeds have grown into small trees.
Shen Tangtang took out the sickle and cleared a path.
There were no big trees to provide shelter, and the ground was cracked into pieces, making a crackling sound when stepped on.
Shen Tangtang came to the front of the yard and saw that the house was a stilt house with one side hollowed out from the ground. The wooden boards had shrunk due to exposure to the sun, revealing large holes.
When you step on the wooden board, it makes a creaking sound.
Shen Tangtang lowered her head and found that the wooden board had only bent a little and had not broken, but it should not be far from the next break.
No wonder the district chief said that no one has lived there for several years. Only someone like her would be interested in such a dilapidated house.
Forget it, since she is here, she doesn’t need to live in the room.
The lock on the gate was already rusty, and Shen Tangtang took out the key and opened it.
With a creak, she gently pushed the door open.
This is a four-bedroom, one-living room house. The living room is empty and there are four rooms on both sides.
The room closest to the door is the kitchen. There is no hollow space here, but it also has a wooden floor. There is a stove and a sink inside. A little further away is a small compartment which is the bathroom.
The wall of the stove is a warm wall, and the heater is connected to the next room.
After all, it is a house in the slums. No matter how dilapidated it is, it is still many times better than the shantytown.
Chen Tangtang turned on the faucet, and there was a hissing sound. After two minutes, brown water flowed out.
Shen Tangtang had some water, so she closed it.
Although she doesn't use these devices, she can't live without them.
She walked around the house and found it was empty. Apart from being a little dusty, there was no musty smell.
I went back to the living room and closed the door, and sunlight came in through the window.
Shen Tangtang flashed into the space, had a delicious meal, and fell asleep while holding the two mice.
After waking up from a nap, Shen Tangtang came to the vegetable garden with a bamboo basket.
What catches the eye are rows of white jade radishes, which are tall and plump and very cute.
After the first batch of white jade radishes matured, many seeds were left, and Chen Tangtang planted a lot of them.
The mutated white jade radish can be eaten as fruit or stewed with pork ribs, it is so delicious that you will stamp your feet.
Chen Tangtang will stew it when she is free, put it in a quiet space, and take it out to eat when it is inconvenient to cook.
As she happened to be free today, she picked a large white radish and went back to stew it with mutant wild boar ribs.

6 p.m.
Shen Tangtang's bracelet vibrated, indicating that the players had gathered and were now being teleported back to the outer area exchange hall of Dawn City, the place where she had just gone to pay the rent.
Shen Tangtang cleaned up the freshly stewed meat, tore off two large pieces and put them into the food bowls of the two rats who were watching eagerly on the side, and then said: "I'm going out to be busy now. You guys just stay in the space obediently for the next few days. If you're hungry or full, there's food in the space, or you can go to the orchard to find fruit to eat."
"Squeak... Got it, Tangtang, go get busy!"
Bao Bao waved his paw and said goodbye to Shen Tangtang, his eyes fixed on the large piece of stewed meat on his food bowl, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth was already flowing uncontrollably, but unfortunately it was still steaming and too hot for rats to eat.
Shu Xiaoqi also nodded, indicating that he understood.
Shen Tangtang rubbed the two mice’s big tails, then got up contentedly and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.
Shen Tangtang dressed neatly, thought about it and put on her small backpack, flashed out of the space, locked the door and rushed to the exchange hall.
When Shen Tangtang arrived, she saw many people in the square in front of the exchange hall.
It was still daylight, but the solar lamps were still on in the square of the exchange hall, and many citizens were watching the fun from the outside.
Shen Tangtang squeezed into the crowd. There was a red cordon in front of her. She told the mercenary brother next to her that she was also a player. A vine emerged from the center of her hand.
The mercenary brother glanced at Shen Tangtang, nodded, opened the cordon, and let her go in.
Someone nearby saw Shen Tangtang go in and wanted to take the opportunity to rush up, but was persuaded to retreat by the big knife in the hand of the mercenary brother.
It was bustling inside, and some familiar players were still chatting and celebrating that their good brother was still alive.
Shen Tangtang came directly to the front and greeted Fu Qingye, “Major, I am a player who arrived yesterday and have not registered my name yet.”
Fu Qingye glanced at Shen Tangtang, adjusted his glasses, and asked her name. When he heard it was Shen Tangtang, he seemed to think of something and said:
"Chen Tangtang? Have we met somewhere before?"
How could Shen Tangtang tell the truth, “I’ve seen the Major a few times from a distance.”
"Miss Shen is really a noble person who forgets things easily. In the noble district, in the hospital, do you remember it?"
Fu Qingye didn't let Shen Tangtang go either, his fox eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips uttered questions coldly.
What a big fox.
Shen Tangtang blinked her big eyes, smiled and said, "Really, I almost forgot, hehe~ I almost forgot, oh, by the way, Major, I'm the player who came here to register."
"Well, the registration is done. You've been assigned to my team. We'll be leaving soon. Come join us!"
Fu Qingye pointed to the team in the front, where eight players stood straight, like college students undergoing military training, each with clear and innocent eyes.
