Chapter 138 Renting a House
Odin called out to them, and his seemingly frail body moved with surprising speed. After stopping Yufei and the others, he was already standing in front of them, wearing that somewhat tattered belt.
He handed the items to them.
"Here you go!" Odin looked at the belt with a kind expression, as if it were his own child. Finally, as if making a difficult decision to entrust it to his children, he resolutely gave it to Yufei and her brother.
"Sir, our funds haven't arrived yet, so we can't accept this," Lei Jun said, looking embarrassed. They couldn't just try to get something for nothing.
Not to mention that back in the Great Xia Dynasty, his soldiers always adhered to the principle of not taking even a needle or thread from the people, he didn't want to give off that impression of taking advantage of others in this other world.
Even if they knew they would definitely give the money to the old man, it wouldn't work!
"Kids, just take it! Stop asking so many questions!" Odin shoved the money into Yufei's arms. He didn't really care whether they could bring him the money tomorrow.
That's right, just like those people said, his child hasn't been visited for two months. Since the last incident, his dimensional pocket has not only become deserted, but it's even been seen as a useless invention.
How could he tolerate this? Today, it was rare for people to not only not dislike his creations, but also show great interest. Even after those people told them about his inventions, they didn't back down.
Just as Yufei and her companion were reluctantly leaving, Odin suddenly had a strong urge to give them his invention, even if it were a gift.
Old Man Odin is the kind of person who does whatever he thinks, which is why the scene just now happened.
Just as Lei Jun was about to refuse, Yufei spoke first.
"Thank you, Uncle. We appreciate your trust in us. We'll accept it without hesitation. We hope you'll wait for us here tomorrow. We'll definitely give you the money for this treasure. We also hope you can develop products with even greater potential. We'll take as many as you produce."
Yufei sincerely hoped that Odin could get more of these dimensional pockets; she wanted as many as he could. These pockets would make their movements much easier, and each pocket could hold 5 tons of cargo…
Yufei weighed the dimensional pocket herself; it only weighed about a pound or two. So, if they had a dozen or twenty more, wouldn't they be able to carry more supplies from Earth to other worlds?
Yufei thought to herself with delight, but when Long Baobao learned of her thoughts, he was speechless. Was she trying to exploit a bug in the teleportation array?
However, she really got stuck. The baby dragon had no choice but to silently plan for its next owner. It needed to modify the program in this area and collect more things, such as the number of new species? Or charm points?
Dragon Baby secretly thought to himself, "Someone in the future is cursing Xiao Jun for being a shrewd businessman!" This was something Yufei didn't know.
Yufei unexpectedly obtained a dimensional pocket tonight. Lei Jun carefully kept it close to his body and returned to the entrance of the black market with Yufei.
The black market was still bustling with activity, its vibrant nightlife continuing unabated, not ceasing even after Yufei and her friends left. But for Lei Jun and his group, it was still too late—mainly, too late for Yufei, in Lei Jun's eyes.
It's past midnight now, and Lei Jun remembers that Yufei is still a high school student who needs to grow taller, so she needs to go to bed early and get up early.
When they arrived at the entrance of the black market, Qi Huang and Kukochi were already waiting there. Afraid of missing each other, they didn't rush in to find them.
Anyway, this gate was the only way they would pass on their way back. When Qi Huang saw Lei Jun and Yu Fei come out, he went up to them and told them that the rooms had been booked.
I'm renting a three-story villa for one month! The rent is 8000 yuan.
Lei Jun thought about it and agreed. He and Qi Huang were truly on the same wavelength. They had just solved the problem of storing supplies, and now all the brothers could go into the city.
He rented a satisfactory house, but Qi Huang felt embarrassed. He had searched for a long time and hadn't expected that small houses were more popular in this world.
Most of them are already occupied, leaving only this type of apartment and larger ones. He definitely chose this one without hesitation.
He also considered hotels—but the prices here are outrageously expensive. For the same price, a hotel room would only last about three nights and would only be a standard double room.
Only a fool would live there. Of course, if they have a resident card for Zone C, they'll get at least a 8% discount! It'll be even cheaper for those from Zones B and A.
It's their fault for not having proper identification; a hotel requires identification for every person staying there! Renting this place is a bit more convenient; Kukoc solved the problem for them using his ID.
They could also choose a hostel, which, like their rental, only requires showing one person's ID, but Kukoc advised against it.
The people renting rooms at the hostel are all sorts of shady characters. Since they're traveling with a young girl like Yufei, you have to be careful; she could easily be kidnapped and sold.
Upon hearing this, Qi and Huang were absolutely adamant that it was unacceptable. None of their lives were as important as Comrade Yufei's. Before setting off, they had sworn an oath to the spirit of the Great Xia Dynasty to protect Comrade Yufei's safety with their lives!
What's a little money? Qi Huang was nervously waiting for Lei Jun to criticize him for being extravagant, but to his surprise, his boss seemed quite satisfied and very pleased with his rented apartment.
Qi Huang almost thought that in just one day, Lei Jun had been corrupted by the sugar-coated bullets of capital and had forgotten about thrift.
After hearing Lei Jun tell him about what happened after he went to rent a house, and about him taking out that dimensional pocket that could hold 5 tons of stuff, Qi Huang instantly forgot all his doubts about his boss.
Like a child, he was having a blast taking things out of the dimensional pocket containing hotel items.
Too excited to sleep, Yufei paid no attention to what Lei Jun and Qi Huang were doing in the same room.
She returned to her assigned room early, took out bed sheets and blankets from her spatial storage, tidied up the room, washed up, and went to bed.
Of course, the room does come with blankets and sheets provided by the host, so you can just bring your bags and move in. But other people's things are never as comfortable and clean as your own, right?
The next day
Qi Huang, sporting a huge panda eye, and Lei Jun, with a slightly lighter panda eye, approached Yu Fei. They ate some of the breakfast Yu Fei had prepared, put on their new anti-radiation suits bought yesterday, and prepared to drive off to pick up their brothers.
Yufei looked at the two, who were clearly sleep-deprived, with concern. "Are they sure they can drive?!"
After leaving the Chenxi base in the car Lei Jun had brought, Yufei finally relaxed. "Hmm! It's going smoothly."
If Lei Jun knew what Yufei was thinking, he would definitely tell her that he is a professional!
