After two days of looking at houses, Lin Yan didn’t want to look anymore. After two days of field investigation, and Assistant Tan’s personal admission, all the houses in the property details he gave Lin Yan were demolished houses. The community environment and layout were actually pretty much the same. So after two days of continuous running and not seeing much difference, Lin Yan decided not to continue looking. In the end, after a data comparison, such as the age of the house, the geographical location, whether there is an elevator, etc., she chose a demolished house that is closer to the school.
The community is called Jinhong New Village. As soon as you hear the name, you know that it is a village called Jinhong Village that was relocated. After the relocation, everyone in this village is a local tycoon, and every family has at least three houses. So although this village is called Jinhong New Village, only one-third of the people are from this village. Most of the local tycoons have moved to communities with better conditions. The house was built only ten years ago, and it is considered a second-hand house. The most important thing is that it has an elevator.
When choosing a house, you may have many shortcomings, but once you choose a house, you will like it more and more. This is the case with Lin Yan now. Even when she looks at her own bare balcony, she can still praise that the light is better than other houses.
"Your house is nice." Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony, Xu Ruan asked for leave from the company, and finally had the opportunity to come and see Lin Yan's new home that night. "Three bedrooms and a living room, it must be about 90 square meters."
"89, but the indoor area is only about 80 square meters." Lin Xi said with a smile.
"Such a big house for only 2,000 yuan, it's too cheap." Xu Ruan took a look at the rooms and found that each room had a large bay window. Thinking of the shabby single room provided by his own company, his eyes suddenly turned red with envy.
"Do you want to move in with us?" Among the three roommates, only Xu Ruan stayed in Jin City.
"I would like to, but my company is too far from here, so I'd better live in the company dormitory." Xu Ruan used to be an intern, and the company did not provide her with a dormitory, so she had to go back to school to sleep. Now that she has become a regular employee and the company provides her with accommodation, she doesn't want to run back and forth anymore. Although living here is definitely more comfortable than the dormitory provided by the company, as a social animal, every second of sleep is valuable.
"Anyway, you can come here anytime you want." Lin Yan said, then turned to Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan, "Next time you come to Jin City, just stay at my place."
Chu Feifei was touched, but she said, "What if you have a boyfriend?"
"I'll kick him out." Lin Xi said decisively.
“Hahaha…” The four girls smiled at each other, then each took a broom and bucket and started cleaning.
This house has been uninhabited for many years, and a lot of dust has accumulated inside. A few girls came here today to clean it. It has three bedrooms and a living room, which sounds big, but in fact it is empty and there is no furniture at all. The girls cleaned it up in half an hour and it was clean.
"Now we just need a bed and a sofa. Oh, and we need to install at least one air conditioner. Summer is still two months away."
"There is also a wardrobe and a desk."
"I'd rather buy a TV or a projector, because watching TV shows on my computer always feels like something is missing."
"There is also a balcony. I can install a swing there so I can enjoy the fresh air on the balcony when I am in a bad mood."
The four girls fantasized and kept putting whatever they could think of that could increase their sense of happiness into this empty house, filling it up like a home.
Just as she was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door. Lin Yan thought it was the takeaway she ordered, so she got up to open the door, only to find two installers wearing X's uniform standing at the door.
"You are?"
"We are here to deliver the sofa." said one of the installers.
"Sofa? Did you deliver the wrong one?"
"That's right, that's right." Chu Feifei squeezed out from behind Lin Yan, "Master, you have worked hard. Come in, this is it."
The master came in carrying several large boxes, and then quickly dismantled and installed them in front of Lin Xi's surprised eyes. Ten minutes later, her living room had a beautiful fabric sofa, six or seven colorful pillows, a low coffee table in the same color, and a lake blue carpet.
The whole living room looks brand new.
"Do you like it?" The three girls looked at Lin Yan with sparkling eyes, waiting for their friend's reply.
"Did you order it?" Lin Xi was still a little dazed at this moment.
"Yes, a housewarming gift." Xu Ruan said, "Originally we wanted to give each of us one, but our savings are limited, so we can only buy it for you together."
"The sofa, coffee table, and carpet can barely be considered three items." Ning Yadan said.
"I picked the color. Since I wanted something in stock, there aren't many styles to choose from. Do you like it?" Chu Feifei asked.
"Yeah." Lin Yan's eyes were red with emotion, but she complained, "When did you discuss this? How come I didn't know anything about it."
"Is it still a surprise to let you know?" the three girls laughed.
Tomorrow is the graduation ceremony. After the ceremony, Chu Feifei and Ning Yadan will return to their hometowns. Xu Ruan is busy with company projects and they may not see each other for several months. The four of them are really going to separate.
Soon the takeaway arrived, along with a box of beer. Perhaps because of the heavy feelings of parting, everyone drank a lot. After dinner, the living room that had just been cleaned looked like a garbage dump again. In the end, everyone's face was red, and they passed out drunkenly, each holding a pillow.
In the middle of the night, Lin was awakened by the urge to urinate. She went to the toilet and washed her face, which made her feel much more awake. She returned to the living room and looked at her roommates who were lying on the sofa and carpet. The first thing she did was to look for her phone among a pile of beer bottles and take pictures from various angles.
After the photo shoot, Lin An smiled happily at the photos for a while, and suddenly felt that the room was a bit hot, so she opened the balcony door a little further, and then opened the kitchen door to allow sufficient air convection.
Summer is still two months away, so I have to buy an air conditioner and then a refrigerator...
Lin Yan couldn't help but start to calculate what she would need to buy after moving in, and then combined with her savings, she finally put the air conditioner at the top of the shopping list. The bed and other things can be bought later, she can sleep on the sofa. There is no rush for the refrigerator and kitchen items, she can continue to eat takeout, if that doesn't work, she can continue to eat at the school snack street, which is not far away, and it only takes ten minutes to ride a bicycle.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Lin Yan sat on the ground with a pillow and started searching for air conditioners on shopping websites. While she was searching, Wu Wang suddenly sent a message in the group.
When Lin Yan saw it, she quickly exited the online shopping page and entered WeChat.
Dirty King: [@Everyone, does anyone have a key? Or help me find it within an hour. I need it urgently. I can exchange it with something.]
Aquaman: [I don’t have it, but why do you want that thing? Is the subspace about to open? @Assistant Tan.]
Assistant Tan: [Not here. The radiation range of this subspace only reaches the neighboring Honghan City.]
Honghan City is the neighboring city of Jin City. The two cities are separated by a river and connected by a cross-river bridge.
The subspace is about to open again, and will it only radiate to the neighboring Honghan City? Fortunately, fortunately, it didn't come over, I am safe. Lin Yan thought thankfully, she really didn't want to enter the subspace again.
Dirty King: [My brother was sucked in, I want to go in and find him.]
The time when the subspace gate opens is different in different places, but according to statistics from official organizations, the time interval between the earliest person entering the subspace and the latest person entering the subspace is one and a half hours.
Aquaman: [Your brother is the one who awakened the wood power half a year ago? He has reached D level so quickly?]
Dirt King: [C-level.]
Qingkong: [The level of supernatural power increases so quickly, do you know the level of the subspace that is opened this time?]
Assistant Tan: [Grade B.]
Aquaman: [Oh my god, why didn’t you notify us? @Assistant Tan.]
Assistant Tan: [The door is not open here, why should I notify you?]
It turns out that subspaces are also divided into levels. Why didn't Assistant Tan mention this in the information he gave me before? Is it because the three-month probation period has not yet passed, so I can't get these information for the time being
Lin Yan thought for a moment and asked in the group: [What level of subspace did I enter last time?]
Assistant Tan: [D-Class.]
What? D-class is so scary? What about B-class
King of Dirt: [@Everyone, big brothers, can you please stop chatting at this time and use your connections. I can pay you.]
Qingkong: [Keys are probably only available here at @初.]
The dirty king immediately @Chen Chu, and after @ing him three times in a row, Chen Chu finally came online.
Chu: [Sorry, I was just building Lego and just saw it. I don’t have any extra keys, but I can ask other people for you.]
King of Dirt: [Thank you very much. If you have any conditions, feel free to ask.]
Chu: [Wait for my news.]
Lin Yan asked curiously in the group: [Key, is it the key to enter the subspace?]
Aquaman: [You don’t know? Oh, you haven’t passed the probation period yet, so you don’t have an account on the internal forum. Once the probation period is over, go to the internal forum and catch up on your knowledge, otherwise you won’t understand what we are saying.]
As expected, you have to wait until the trial period to access this information.
Assistant Tan: [You guessed right. Generally speaking, the door of the subspace opens randomly and swallows the psychics randomly, but there are also some psychics who want to enter actively but can't find the door. In order to solve this problem, after years of research, subspace researchers have invented a key that can sense the energy of the subspace. Crushing the key can temporarily open a subspace door around the key. But the premise is that the place where you crush the key must be within the radiation range of the subspace.]
There are actually people who want to enter the subspace on their own initiative? Wait, that's not surprising, isn't it the King of Dirt who wants to enter on his own initiative? I still don't know enough.
Lin Xi then asked: [Is this thing very rare and valuable?]
Aquaman: [It’s more than valuable, it can’t be bought with money, okay?]
How valuable is it if it can't be bought with money? There must be a price.
As a finance major, Lin Yan couldn't accept such a vague concept: "There has to be a price."
In financial statements, goodwill has a price.
Qingkong: [This depends on the urgency of the need and the level of the subspace. The price could be one hundred thousand, one million, or ten million. But usually people don’t trade in cash.]
Lin Yan's eyes lit up: [So, the minimum value can be 100,000?]
The dirty king, who had been anxiously waiting for Chen Chu's reply, looked at the constant messages in the group and became angry: [If you can find it, I will give you 200,000.]
Two hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand is enough for her to buy a complete set of furniture.
Lin Yan immediately asked in the group: [How can I get the key? ]
Aquaman: […]
Assistant Tan: […]
Dirt King: […]
A series of ellipsis marks expressed everyone's speechless feelings.
Lin Yan also realized that it was inappropriate to ask such a question now. If they knew, Wu Wang would not ask in the group. Alas, it was all because the house was too empty and the furniture was too expensive. Money blinded her. Seeing that no one was talking in the group, Lin Yan closed WeChat and continued to look at the air conditioner.
About five minutes later, Chen Chu replied in the group.
Assistant Tan: [No, I applied to the headquarters three months ago, but it has not been approved until now.]
Aquaman: [No way, the key is a strategic material, and it is given priority to S-level psychics.]
Priority is given to S-level psychics? So Senior Chen Chu is an S-level psychic
Wow, that’s amazing.
King of Dirt: [Thank you very much, I will think of a solution.]
It was just a few simple words, but it was not difficult for everyone to see the powerlessness and disappointment between the lines of King Wu's words.
Aquaman: [Don’t worry too much. Your brother has good talent and is a wood-type supernatural being. The family will definitely give him a life-saving item.]
King of Dirt: [He is only nine years old.]
Everyone was silent for a moment. Most people in the group knew that the King of Dirty had a younger brother with good talent, who had awakened half a year ago. But they didn't know that the King of Dirty's younger brother was only nine years old, still a primary school student. No matter how strong a primary school student's ability was, he couldn't outsmart others.
Aquaman: [Then we can only try our luck in Honghan City and see if we can encounter a sub-dimensional gate.]
King of Dirt: [I'm already on my way to Honghan City.] He had already thought of this trick, but the swallowing of the subspace is very random. The King of Dirt's level has reached A level, and the higher the level, the more difficult it is to enter the subspace.
Lin Xi looked around for air conditioners online and found that good-looking ones were expensive, those with many functions were expensive, those with good brands were expensive, and those that saved energy were expensive. In short, as long as she liked it, in one word: expensive!
I've only seen the good ones, but I don't like the bad ones. Lin Yan switched back to WeChat with a frustrated look on her face, lamenting that she still had to make more money.
When Lin Yan switched back to WeChat, she happened to see Aquaman's message, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her head.
As for encountering the door to the subspace, she has experience in this.
Lin Yan hesitated and sent a message in the group: [@污王, I have an immature suggestion. It may be successful to find the subspace door, but it may not be successful. Do you want to try it? ]
Dirt King: [Speak!]
Lin Yan: [If successful, will you give me 200,000?]
Important things should be said in advance.
The Dirty King: [It's just a small amount of money, hurry up and tell me.]
As expected, he is rich. That’s what she said. Anyone who charges ten thousand for a curse must be a rich man.
Lin Xian typed quickly: [It’s like this, wasn’t I swallowed by the subspace last time? The reason I was swallowed was because I was unlucky. So I thought, if I am within the radiation range of the subspace, will I encounter the subspace gate again?]
Aquaman: […No matter how unlucky you are, you can’t have it happen twice in a row.]
Qingkong: [If I swallow you every time, won't you become a living key?]
Chu: [The probability is indeed not high.]
King of Dirty: [Can you please not be funny at this time?]
Who is kidding? My luck value is permanently -99. If the system can take a screenshot, I will send it to you on the spot. Just when Lin Yan was worrying about how to prove that she was unlucky enough, Assistant Tan appeared and recited the book for her.
Assistant Tan: [I think it’s worth a try. She is indeed unlucky enough. Xiao Wen has confirmed that she is unlucky.]
Assistant Tan had no evidence, but he only needed the four words "Xiao Wen's certification" to convince everyone.
The King of Dirt: [@林媗, leave now. I will send you the location. You can take a taxi here and the fare will be reimbursed.]
Aquaman: [It's too late. It will take at least fifty minutes to get there by taxi now.]
Chu: [Send the location to me @林媗, I’ll pick you up.]
Dirt King: [Thank you.]
This thank you is for Chen Chu, because only Chen Chu can ensure that Lin Yan can be brought to Honghan City in the shortest time possible.
Lin Yan left the group chat, sent a private location to Chen Chu, and then returned to the group to discuss with Wu Wang: [@Wu Wang, um, if we really find the sub-space door, can you promise me one thing. ]
The Dirty King: [Don't worry, I will give you every penny of the money.]
Lin Yan: [Not this, I mean, if the door opens, can you protect me as much as possible and don't let me in. I'm an F-rank, and I'll be a drag on you if I go in]
Lin Xi wanted to make money, but she really didn't want to enter the subspace again.
King of Dirt: [That's no problem. There will be energy fluctuations the moment the subspace door opens. I can sense it in advance and I can push you out when the time comes.]
Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief: [Then I feel relieved.]
Lin Yan had money and security, and she was in a good mood. She quit WeChat and continued to look at air conditioners. The ones that she had thought were expensive before were now just so-so. She changed her mind and decided to buy all the air conditioners at once. Three rooms plus the living room, that's four units, right? Small money.
Lin Xi was thinking happily, when suddenly a cool breeze blew from the balcony, and a shadow fell into the living room. Lin Xi subconsciously looked up and saw a young man in a sports sweatshirt standing on her balcony.
When Chen Chu saw Lin Yan looking at him, he curved his lips into a smile. That smile was like stars shining in the night sky.
Chen Chu glanced at the three girls sleeping in the living room, then waved to Lin Yan, motioning her to come out.
Lin Yan came back to her senses and rushed to the balcony with her phone in hand. She walked too fast and accidentally kicked the beer bottle on the ground, which made a clanging sound and almost woke up Xu Ruan who was closest to her. Fortunately, Xu Ruan just turned over and went back to sleep. Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief and then tiptoed through the living room to the balcony.
"You're here so soon." From the time he said he would come to pick her up to now, it has only been five minutes.
"We're in a hurry." Chen Chu said as he stretched out his hand towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked at the hand that Chen Chu extended to her and was stunned for a moment.
Chen Chu seemed to have figured out something and explained, "I'm going to take you over, so I have to hold you. Sorry."
Hug? Lin Yan's blood boiled and her face turned red. Fortunately, she had drunk some wine and her face was red to begin with. Now it was even redder, but it was not too abrupt.
"No...it's okay." Lin Yan put her hand in Chen Chu's palm.
Chen Chu held it and pulled hard, and Lin Yan felt that she suddenly lost the restraint of gravity and floated up like a cloud. Then a strong arm circled her waist. When Lin Yan came to her senses, she was already flying over Jin City, with thousands of lights under her feet.
Fly... Flying
"I'm flying!" Lin Yan's eyes widened at the novel experience. She turned her head excitedly to look at Chen Chu, and then saw a pair of blue transparent wings on the young man's straight and broad back. The wings were three meters long, and every time they flapped, there was wind, carrying them to soar into the sky.
"Yeah." Chen Chu responded with a smile. When the wind power of his wings was insufficient, he would land on the tallest building, use the force to jump again, and fly back into the sky, always maintaining the fastest speed.
The wind was blowing hard, ruffling their clothes and hair. This scene was as beautiful and romantic as a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki animation.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Chen Chu flew straight according to the coordinates given by King Wu, and it took less than twenty minutes to cross a city.
"Chen Chu." Wu Wang was standing in the central park of Honghan City at this time. This place was in the center of the city. As long as the subspace radiated to Honghan City, it would definitely radiate to this area. He felt the energy fluctuations from afar, looked up, and saw someone coming from the sky. It must be Chen Chu.
Chen Chu brought Lin An down, and Lin An also saw the appearance of the King of Wu clearly. He was a handsome man with a fair face and a sickly look, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
"The King of Filth?" Lin Yan shouted.
"It's me." As the night wind blew, the Dirty King smelled a hint of alcohol, "Have you been drinking?"
Lin Xi froze suddenly, her face turned pale.
Oh no, I smelled of alcohol and didn't even change my clothes, and Senior Chen Chu carried me all the way. I'm dying, dying!
Lin Yan was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. If she had known earlier, she would have taken the two hundred thousand.
"Lin Yan, can you feel the subspace?" King Wu was very anxious. His brother had been in the subspace for more than half an hour, and he had to get in quickly.
"I can't feel it." Lin Xi shook her head.
"Then how did you get in last time?"
"Just walking, walking, I..." Before Lin Yan could finish her words, everything in front of her eyes went dark.
Wu Wang and Chen Chu were only one meter away from Lin Xi, but even though the distance was so close, they were unable to react and could only watch as Lin Xi suddenly... disappeared from their sight.
The two looked at each other, then reacted quickly and rushed towards where Lin Yan disappeared, and disappeared in the park together.
"Just came in again?" Lin Xi looked at the suddenly unfamiliar environment and cried.
She was wrong. She shouldn't have been greedy to earn the two hundred thousand. It turned out that taking shortcuts to make quick money would come at a price.
At the same time, in six groups.
The Sea King calculated the time and asked the Dirty King: [@Dirty King, have you guys reunited?]
I waited for a while but there was no response.
Aquaman: [@Chu, @Lin Yan, have you arrived in Honghan City? ]
The group remained silent.
Aquaman: [Why does it feel wrong?]
Qingkong: [Your feeling is correct. I just called the King of Dirty, but he is out of service area.]
Assistant Tan: [I called Chen Chu and Lin Yan, but they were also out of the service area.]
Aquaman: [Really went in?]
Qingkong: [I just changed the note for our new colleague, living key.]
Assistant Tan: [It’s time to prepare the pension again.]
