Chapter 233 New House
A glimmer of light flashed, the yellow express box opened, and the results of opening the blind box for a new day appeared.
[Get the right to use a standard American family house for 1 month; Note: You can use any money to pay the rent to extend the rental period; after the renewal, you can open the exclusive mode]
Wen Liang looked at the system prompt in surprise. In addition to the items he got from the blind box this time, he could also pay a fee to renew the lease.
And after reading the detailed explanation later, Wen Liang understood that the owner of this house is the system, so when paying rent, he is not actually paying to the real owner, but directly paying to the system!
The exclusive model that follows makes Wen Liang very satisfied: after the renewal of the lease, this house will become Wen Liang’s exclusive house, and only he can rent it, not for other purposes... Will there be other tenants?
Moreover, if Wen Liang does not renew the lease in time after the rent expires, the house and all the additions inside will be sealed. During the sealing period, the items will not be reduced or disappeared for no reason, and they can only be unsealed when the lease is renewed. Before it is unsealed, no access can be made until the rent is renewed and the house is opened again.
"Isn't this just increasing the storage space again~" Wen Liang muttered excitedly.
However, this "storage space" can not only store items, but also be used for sleeping, resting, gardening, parking, and other daily activities. While it is convenient, it is also like an ordinary house, and other people can enter, and it does not have much protection function.
After taking a look at the key in his hand, Wen Liang thought for a while and decided to put it into the space first, intending to go to the bank to exchange some money for use.
Wen Liang asked someone about the nearest bank and then walked straight there.
After inquiry, I learned that the current gold price is about US$1890 per ounce, and this price has been rising intermittently this year.
Even the bank staff, a caring American lady, kindly reminded that if you are not in a hurry to use the money, it is better to wait.
Wen Liang didn't care about the difference of a few dollars - the key point was that he didn't have a penny on him now!
After thinking for a while, he reached into his pocket and "took out" a one-kilogram gold bar.
This action shocked the staff. They didn't expect that the young Chinese man in front of them was so reckless that he dared to take it out so openly in the hall!
The auntie at the counter quickly stood up, walked out quickly from the security door, and pulled Wen Liang into the VIP room!
But now the image of Wen Liang holding the gold brick has been deeply remembered by everyone else in the hall!
Soon, Wen Liang exchanged one kilogram of gold for US dollars. One kilogram is about 35.27 ounces, and according to the conversion of 1 US dollars per ounce, he received a total of US dollars!
More than 60,000 US dollars is already a huge sum of money for an ordinary family. But for Wen Liang, it is mainly for food and purchasing supplies, which will only last about a week.
Carrying a bag of US dollars, Wen Liang went into the bathroom and took a look around. When he came out again with the bag, the US dollars in it had been exchanged for a few sets of clothes.
After leaving the bank, Wen Liang felt like there were a few people following him.
The United States is truly a "free" country. The tracking and robbery were carried out so unscrupulously that they started blatantly at the bank. The bank security guard only took a look and stopped caring when he saw that Wen Liang had already walked out of the bank!
Wen Liang glanced at the system prompt. This place was not far from the house. Wen Liang didn't want to bring trouble back to his new home, so when passing by the entrance of a small alley, he suddenly took two quick steps and turned in!
The two Hakihei young men following behind him saw Wen Liang's actions, and they suddenly looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
"He found us...but he ended up in a dead end!"
"It's obvious that he's an outsider, so we should rob him and let him know who's the boss here!"
“Yes, that’s all our money!”
"Have you brought a guy with you?"
"No, the bank is not safe, so I only brought a fruit knife."
"That's enough. I think maybe we don't even need to take out the knife. He will just fall down in fear and hand over the money to us obediently!"
"Yes, just like the Chinese student last time~"
The two Hakihei guys were talking excitedly as they rushed forward quickly, blocking the entrance and exit of the alley!
The tall and strong black man walked into the alley first, saw Wen Liang at a glance, and slowly walked over with a grin.
He saw that Wen Liang didn't look afraid at all, which made him very unhappy. He wanted to teach this Asian boy a lesson and let him know what kind of expression he should show when being targeted by these Hakihei people!
Another thin black man was left to guard the alley entrance. Without even looking at the situation inside, the thin black man could imagine what was going on inside. It was nothing more than a guy who was robbed, crying bitterly out of fear, and then handing over the money with both hands; or he was beaten up, and then continued with the above process!
He has experienced this many times and cannot escape these two choices!
There was a burst of punching and kicking sounds behind him, which soon stopped.
The skinny black man took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand and tilted his head and said, "Hey big guy, you're too fast this time. I haven't even finished my cigarette... Why don't you give our generous friends a chance to show off? It's too violent to just attack directly... "
Before he could finish his words, the thin guy suddenly felt someone pulling him back, and he was lifted into the air!
Before he could turn around to see who it was, a huge full picture came into view. With a "bang", his nose was attacked and he fainted with happiness, tears streaming down his face.
Then Wen Liang left the alley with brisk steps.
A long time later, when the garbage truck was collecting garbage, someone discovered that there were two people unconscious here. One of them was a big black guy, in a miserable state, with his entire palm nailed to the wall with a fruit knife!
Wen Liang followed the system's instructions and walked towards the house. After more than ten minutes, Wen Liang finally saw the rental house available.
Although the lease period is only one month, the house is not small. According to the system prompt, it is about 500 square meters, including the front and back gardens.
From the outside, the whole house looks pretty good. When you take out the key and open the door, the space inside is very spacious. There are three floors, many rooms, and a large terrace on the second floor, which is a great place for sunbathing and barbecue!
Wen Liang immediately planned to renew the lease, offering a monthly rent of 10,000 yuan, with a discount for annual repayments, which was really humane. So Wen Liang directly paid for one year, a total of 100,000 yuan!
The system is very smart and knows which currency is more appropriate, so all settlements are made in RMB!
After the tour, Wen Liang was very satisfied. The only thing missing was that it was too empty. Maybe it was because no one had lived there before, there was no atmosphere of life inside, and many daily necessities were also very scarce.
The basic cupboards, sofas, recliners, bed frames and dining tables were all there, but the contents were missing: for example, there were no replacement clothes or shoes in the cupboards; there were sofas in the living room but no TV, water dispenser, etc.; the bed lacked bedding, cushions, pillows and pillowcases; there was no kettle or cup on the dining table, and the kitchen lacked firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and even various cooking utensils!
Just when Wen Liang was thinking about what to buy, the doorbell suddenly rang!
