Chapter 28 Renting a House to Settle Down
[Reliable Lao Pan: Although you have good physical fitness, you must practice more and develop muscle memory, otherwise you will become stupid when you encounter danger, which is still a dead end.]

[Ma Ma Long Long: That’s right, when they tell you to run, run as fast as you can, don’t look back. When they can’t take care of you, the secret to survival is to run as fast as you can.]

[Yena: Oh, okay, then I'll just focus on moving the trash and earning money for training. ]

[I am Cao Jie, not Cao Cao: It’s such a waste of your space to move garbage~]

[Yena: Isn't this a fast way to make money? It's stable and the time is controllable. ]

【Call me Sister Ma or I’ll kick you: That’s right, just make your own plan. 】

[Liu Liuliuer: We are off topic. Aren’t we talking about renting a house? ]

[Meimei is not raining: Yes, yes, Ye Nai, come and see the house tomorrow? By the way, who gave you your name? You can only be called by your full name. Ye Ye or Nana is not quite right.]

[Yena: Yes, just call me by my full name. I don’t mind being super senior~]

【Call me Sister Ma or I’ll kick you: Haha, just the opposite of Xiao Ni. 】

[Call me Xiao Ni without my last name: There is only one rental agency in our neighborhood. I found the phone number and I’ll give it to you.]

[Yena: Thank you. ]

Ye Na made the call and both parties agreed that the agent would pick her up at the hotel tomorrow morning.

She returned to the group and told them that she had made an appointment with the agent. After chatting for a few minutes, she said good night. Ye Nai continued to browse the shopping apps on her phone, adding the things she liked to the shopping cart. She was not in a hurry to buy them, so she would put them aside for a while and place an order if she still wanted them in a few days.

This is a little trick her teacher taught her in her computer crash course on how to control the urge to shop and avoid buying too many things. Impulsively placing orders for a bunch of things that you can't eat or use and that just take up space is a waste of money. Is it easy to make money nowadays?
After a good night's sleep, the agent came to pick her up on an electric scooter the next morning. When Ye Na went downstairs, she rolled up the sleeves of her short-sleeved shirt to her shoulders to show her strength so as not to be looked down upon by the agent.

It's not that we assume that the agents are bad people, but just in case. When she was buying furniture in the furniture market, she encountered a male salesperson who lectured her in a fatherly manner. She just wanted to buy a 1.2-meter single bed, but the male salesperson insisted on recommending a larger and more expensive double bed and said that if she found a boyfriend, he wouldn't think the bed was too big. It was disgusting and greasy. She turned around and looked for the female salesperson to listen to her sweet words and praise her for the purchase.

When she met the agent, Ye Nai clearly saw the other party's eyes moving around her arm, then he smiled politely, asked her to sit in the back seat and took her away.

It takes about a quarter of an hour from the hotel to the IKEA complex.

As soon as she arrived near the community, Ye Na found that the living conditions were much better than those near the hotel and it was full of life.

"The living conditions here are very good, but the hotel seems depressed."

"The people living in this community are either awakened or ordinary people who can make money. They are not short of money. Business people naturally open shops around this area. It is a wealthy area. The hotel is depressed, so we have to rely on the station to do some business with passers-by."

The agent was considerate enough not to go directly into the community, but to walk around the street to let Ye Nai take a good look at the surrounding environment.

"That's great. I thought I could only buy daily necessities online in the future."

“Hahahaha, it’s not that bad.”

"Don't blame me for thinking so. There has been a rumor in the city that the three dangerous areas here are extremely short of people." "There is a shortage of ordinary people, not awakened people. The exotic plants and beasts and local mutant animals running around in the dangerous areas are all prey for awakened people. They are close to the secret realm. If you have enough skills, you can go in there and make money as long as you come out alive."

The agent took Ye Na back to the gate of the community and swiped her card to enter.

"There are 30 buildings here, all of which are small high-rise buildings. Each building has 12 floors, and each building has 6 units. Each unit has two households per elevator."

"The conditions are so good?"

"The residents are not short of money."

"The apartment we are going to see next is a two-bedroom apartment, and it also has two units per floor?"

"Yes, even though it's a two-bedroom apartment, the floor area is 88 square meters, so some small teams will rent a two-bedroom apartment and put bunk beds in it, and then partition the living room, and it's not difficult to make a three-bedroom apartment with soft furnishings."

“I’m starting to look forward to it.”

Ye Nai was really looking forward to it. This area is bigger than her home. Her two-bedroom apartment is less than 60 square meters, which is already very crowded for six people. Now her grandparents are here to stay temporarily, and she is very glad that she ran away decisively.

They rode deeper into the community and arrived at Room 27, 3th Floor, Unit 10, Building 1.

As you enter the door, you will see a spacious and bright south-facing living room. The living room is bare, the kitchen has a range hood, the bathroom has an electric water heater, and the only light source in every room, including the living room and balcony, is the ceiling lamp.

Apart from this, there are no other large appliances, including fans, air conditioners, refrigerators, or washing machines. The floor tiles in the whole house are shiny, and housekeeping labels indicating cleanliness can be seen everywhere.

The layout is very simple. The left hand side faces south and has a living room, bedroom and a large balcony. The right hand side faces north and has a kitchen, bathroom and another bedroom.

The two bedrooms are opposite each other, and the part of the common wall is made into a closet. There is only a horizontal bar for hanging clothes inside, and there are no shelves, which makes it easy to adjust the layout. The room is white and there is no furniture or appliances. Ye Na is very satisfied with it.

She bought herself some brand new home appliances, of course she wanted to use new ones. The house was so empty and cleaned, so she could just move in with her luggage.

I talked about the price with the agent, and found that a two-bedroom apartment with simple decoration, complete water and electricity but no home appliances would cost 2600 yuan per month, which is about 30 yuan per square meter. The deposit is 5200 yuan, which is paid to the landlord. The agent also charges one month's rent as a service fee.

The average rent that Ye Nai and her mother checked was 500, but that kind of house was just a small single room with a private bathroom, just like a standard room in a hotel, and the rest of the environment could not be seen on the Internet.

The agent said that most of these houses are master bedrooms with bathrooms in privately renovated shared houses. The tenant turnover is very high. Most of them are ordinary people who have just arrived and are looking for a temporary residence. They will rent them and start moving garbage in the danger zone. Even if they earn 200 yuan a day, the money they earn in a month is enough to move to a better place.

Ye Nai is not short of money and doesn't want to go through the hassle of moving all the time, so of course she just rents a house.

The next step was to go through the formalities. Ye Nai transferred money to the landlord and the agent respectively, and took a ride with the agent to go back to the hotel to check out. When leaving the community gate, she showed the rental contract and applied for an access card. Then she returned to the commercial street near the community to make some purchases. By the way, she left a message in the group, thanking everyone for introducing the house, and she rented it.

There was no reply in the group. Those captains all had full-time jobs and were probably busy at this time. Ye Na didn't care and put away his phone and walked around.

The landlord did not allow the destruction of the walls, but left removable spaces on the windows of the house to accommodate window air conditioners. Ye Nai bought three directly on the commercial street, one of which was a large-capacity one installed in the living room. He took it home and tinkered with it and installed it himself. The air conditioner in the north room drains water naturally along the outer wall, while the air conditioners in the living room and the south room use buckets to collect water.
