Chapter 19 Renting a House
"What are points?" Another boy wearing glasses and looking calmer asked.
Administrator: "Points are the temporary currency of the resettlement site. Supplies can be exchanged for points, and points can also be used to purchase supplies. All tasks are settled as points."
"How are points recorded? Isn't there no electricity and internet now?" The lively tall boy asked Bai Zhi a question that he had been curious about when he was reading the apocalyptic novel.
Administrator: "Now it is recorded in duplicate. After you have checked in, each person will receive a small booklet with a name and a number on the cover.
" "The first letters of the numbers for superpowers and ordinary people are different. The first letters of the numbers for superpowers and ordinary people managed by the Superpower Logistics Department start with Y, and the first letters of the numbers for ordinary people managed by the Ordinary People Logistics Department start with P.
"Points are recorded with fingerprints. A complete fingerprint of the person in charge of the settlement office of the logistics department is 4 points, half is 2 points, and a quarter is 1 point. Each settlement requires fingerprints to be printed in the small notebook in the hands of the superpower, and signed on the book of the logistics department for backup.
"When making a purchase, it is necessary to cross out the original fingerprint in the small notebook of the superpower, and also sign on the book of the logistics department for settlement.
"Although it's troublesome, it's a safer approach. If the notebook is lost or used up, you can pay a 5-point handling fee and production fee, and apply for a new notebook based on the balance recorded in the logistics department's booklet."
Bai Zhi thought this was a good idea, and the notebook was like a bank card.
As they chatted, they soon arrived at the garrison for people with special abilities.
There are now tens of thousands of survivors in the resettlement garrison.
The proportion of people with special abilities is one in a thousand, not counting those in the military garrison. There are about a hundred people among the survivors, including their ordinary family members.
The tents in the garrison area are of different sizes, ranging from ordinary double tents to large tents with canopies and partitions.
Because there are few people, the distance between the tents is still very appropriate.
The shops on the outermost side of the shopping center also have tents for occupancy, but the rent is twice as expensive as the outdoor square.
The shops indoors in the shopping center can also be rented out, which is slightly more expensive than the outdoor ones.
Bai Zhi passed by the garrison area and looked at the accommodation conditions of the tents. She immediately crossed out the option of staying near the army and living in a tent.
It’s better to listen to the people in the logistics department to introduce the matter of renting a house.
Although the tent area is very close to the army, the logistics department, and the military and political office, it is too inconvenient to wash, go to the toilet, and open the stove.
So when the administrator asked if anyone needed to rent a house, Bai Zhi took Li Chengyi and raised her hand without hesitation.
After learning that Li Chengyi was a water-based psychic, the administrator did not even ask if they had enough supplies.
Bai Zhi guessed that even if the supplies were insufficient, the logistics department could ask the water-based psychic to store water on site to settle the first month's rent.
The three boys and the sisters both planned to live in the tent area.
The administrator handed them over to another staff member of the logistics department, and took Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi to the employee lounge behind the cafe.
After letting Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi sit down on the sofa, the administrator took out a booklet from the cabinet, opened it and placed it on the table.
Administrator: "You can call me Lao Wang. These are vacant houses in the rental area for people with special abilities. They are all in the better communities near the Olympic Sports Center. There are one-bedroom to three-bedroom units.
"The Logistics Department has formulated different rent levels based on distance, floor and area size. They are all attached to the house information. You can take a look first. If you find a suitable one, I can take you to the site to see the house. You can pick three first."
Bai Zhi looked at the densely packed vacant house information listed in the booklet, including both buildings and villas.
She turned to the page for two-bedroom units.
"Taoyuanju, third floor, two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, 80 square meters, one elevator for four households, facing the Olympic Sports Park, 1.5 kilometers away from the gymnasium. 60 points/month. "
"Qingyi Garden, fourth floor, two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, two bathrooms, 100 square meters, one elevator for two households, facing the inner courtyard garden and the Olympic Sports Center, 1.3 kilometers away from the gymnasium. 70 points/month."
...
"Which house do you like?" Li Chengyi depends entirely on her preference.
Baizhi: "Let's take a look at the Qingyi Garden one first. The area and distance are both suitable."
Baizhi thinks that the one-elevator two-household is cleaner, "Fangchenju and Aolan Garden, the two third-floor ones can be used as alternatives."
Li Chengyi: "Okay, please take us to see these three houses. Our car is parked in the parking lot. Can we exchange some supplies for points first, and then take a car over and settle the rent directly with the small book? "
Li Chengyi handed the booklet to Lao Wang and stood up with Bai Zhi.
Lao Wang: "Okay, I'll just take the rental contract with me. The booklet here in the logistics department, I can use the signature on the rental contract for calculation. "
Old Wang took two contract papers from the cabinet, took the key bag of the three houses, and led the two people out of the lounge.
He exchanged the two bags of rice and several bags of high-gluten flour on the back seat of the SUV for more than 300 points, which were recorded equally in the two people's points book.
Carrying Old Wang, the three drove to Qingyi Garden.
Qingyi Garden is also a high-end residential area, and the highest is only 6 floors of garden houses.
There is not only a garden in the inner courtyard, but also a basketball court, gym, and swimming pool.
The vacant house that Bai Zhi and the others saw has a living room facing the Olympic Sports Center and a bedroom facing the quiet inner courtyard garden.
Both the bedroom and the living room are downstairs. There are floor-to-ceiling windows, and the kitchen and bathroom also have large windows.
Although there is no electricity, the lighting is very good during the day.
The apartment is square, and the furniture is very new and high-end.
The other house next door is also an officially controlled vacant house, and no one is currently living there.
Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi were both very satisfied. They signed the contract on the spot and marked the points on Li Chengyi
's notebook. Lao Wang put away the rental contract kept by the logistics department, handed all the keys to the house to the two people, and left happily with a bottle of mineral water given by Li Chengyi.
Li Chengyi: "I'll go downstairs and pick up the luggage. You can wipe the bed with the water I put in first. I'll be back soon."
Li Chengyi filled the bathtub in the bathroom with water, and took out a clean towel from the backpack he had just brought up and handed it to Bai Zhi.
"Okay~" Bai Zhi took the towel.
The two bedrooms are side by side, and the master bedroom has an independent bathroom.
Both bedrooms have large beds of 1.8 meters. Baizhi took off all the original bedding except the mattress and threw them on the ground.
Just after cleaning the second bed, Li Chengyi came up with the bedding for both of them.
For Baizhi's privacy and convenience, Li Chengyi gave her the master bedroom with a bathroom.
After making the bed for her, he took the old bedding on the ground out of the door.
After Li Chengyi moved all the luggage up, Baizhi's cleaning project was quickly completed.
It returned to the previous state at home, one person cooking and the other doing chores.
