Chapter 252

“How about this set? A three-story villa, the rooms perfectly meet your requirements.
In addition, there’s a swimming pool, a terrace, and a garden. The environment is excellent.
Most importantly, this house is located within the inner circle of the Kyoto Base, and the security facilities are very complete.
Security guards patrol 24 hours a day, and access requires swiping a card. No outsiders will disturb the residential area.”
Lin Qianhuan looked down at the floor plan. It was indeed good, much larger than the villa in Yuncheng.
Seeing her satisfied expression, the staff member’s smile grew even wider.
“You’ve come at a good time. The area where this villa is located is called Flourishing World Garden. Before the apocalypse, it was the top residential area in Kyoto.
After the apocalypse, the residents inside died or were injured, which is why there are empty houses. The powerful figures in the base basically live here.
Now there’s only this set left, and it’s only available because the previous resident died in a mission, and his wife and children couldn’t afford to renew the lease.
If you don’t decide now, it’ll probably be gone if you come back tomorrow.”
Lin Qianhuan tapped the table with her finger, “How many crystal cores?”
“Starting with a three-month lease, 7,000 level-one crystal cores per month.”
“Okay, I’ll rent it.”
Lin Qianhuan took out enough crystal cores from her space, totaling 21,000.
Lin Wansheng stood behind, feeling a bit of heartache.
He quietly tugged at Lin Qianhuan’s sleeve, “Isn’t this too expensive?
Why don’t you try to negotiate a price?
At least we could rent a cheaper villa. Sharing a room wouldn’t be too crowded.”
Lin Qianhuan shook her head. While the staff was collecting the crystal cores, she leaned close to Lin Wansheng’s ear and said, “We came to the Kyoto Base this time to find the Salvation Society’s mole hidden here.
Someone who can arrange mission assignments and send people to hinder the progress of virus research.
To have such a high voice in the Kyoto Base, this person must be a high-level member of the base, or at least the captain of an Extraordinary team.
Where do you think someone like that would live?”
Lin Wansheng’s eyes flickered slightly, “Most likely in Flourishing World Garden.”
Lin Qianhuan nodded, “That’s right. That’s one of the reasons I chose this house.”
“What’s the other one?”
“Of course, it’s to live comfortably.”
Lin Qianhuan’s eyes curved, and she smiled very happily, “Moreover, the surrounding residents are all powerful figures, so our daily necessities won’t be too out of place.
The terrace can be used for barbecue, the garden is perfect for planting vegetables, and the swimming pool can be filled with water, so we can take a dip when we’re happy.”
Lin Wansheng’s mouth twitched slightly, and he didn’t say anything more.
The formalities were quickly completed, and a pass was handed to Lin Qianhuan.
“You can freely enter and exit Flourishing World Garden with this card. If you need facial recognition access, you can take your family to the Flourishing World Garden property department to bind your information.
By the way, you all look unfamiliar. Have you applied for identity cards?”
Lin Qianhuan took the pass and shook her head, “Not yet, should it be fine?”
The staff member pondered for a moment and said, “I still recommend you apply for identity cards as soon as possible.
It’s actually the same as an ID card before the apocalypse. It’s always more convenient to have one.
As for the specific functions, the staff at the service center will explain it to you in detail.”
Lin Qianhuan nodded, then led the group out of the transaction area and went to the card application office in the administrative hall to queue up.
When entering the base, all residents had their identity information recorded, so the card application process was very fast.
“The identity card is bound to your personal identity information and can also be used as a bank card. After recharging it, you can pay by swiping the card.
You can usually earn points by doing tasks, or you can buy points with crystal cores.
Each person must have no less than 50 points in their identity card each month, otherwise they will be expelled from the base.”
Listening to the staff member’s explanation, Lin Qianhuan examined the card in her hand and nodded to show that she understood.
The reason why the base has a point system is to prevent some people from being lazy and adding burden to the base.
Moreover, 50 points are not difficult to earn. Simply participate in a resource search or zombie hunting mission to earn points.
The more difficult the mission, the more points you naturally earn.
Therefore, as long as you are a person who lives seriously, earning 50 points is more than enough.
Casually throwing the identity card into her space, Lin Qianhuan led the group to Flourishing World Garden to check in.
With the pass in hand, the gatekeeper did not stop them, and opened the heavy metal door to let Lin Qianhuan and the others in.
To the right of the gate was the Flourishing World Garden property management department.
It can only be said that it is indeed the most high-end residential area in the Kyoto Base. Opening the door of the property management department, a wave of coolness hit their faces.
The room was actually air-conditioned, and the temperature was very comfortable.
Compared to the outside, this place was simply heaven.
Seeing someone enter, an employee immediately came up to greet them.
“Hello, which villa are you the owner of?”
The person serving Lin Qianhuan was a young woman with a pretty baby face and very approachable.
Looking down at the pass, Lin Qianhuan said, “Villa number 36.”
It was indeed a coincidence that it was the same number as the villa in Silver Bay Gardens, number 36.
“You’re a new resident, right? Are you here to enter your facial recognition information?”
Lin Qianhuan nodded, and the employee smiled and pointed, “Okay, please come with me.”
Just as she was about to step towards the facial recognition room, the wind chime hanging on the door suddenly rang.
A man in a suit swaggered in, with two glamorous women on either side of him.
Seeing him come, the two male employees sitting at the service desk ran over very diligently.
“Young Master Ma, what brings you here?”
Looking at them bowing and scraping, the man in the suit raised his chin and spoke with an arrogant look.
“Get my two darlings’ facial recognition done, so it’ll be convenient for them to come in and out in the future.”
One of the employees serving him nodded and bowed, “Congratulations, Young Master Ma, on gaining beauties. Come, come, come, ladies, this way, please.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and directly pushed aside the female employee who was leading Lin Qianhuan, and was about to walk forward with the two beautiful women.
Lin Qianhuan frowned and raised her arm to block the three’s path without hesitation.
“Do you understand the principle of first come, first served?”
Her eyes were slightly cold, and she had no intention of giving way.
The male employee looked at Ma Tiangao behind him, and then at Lin Qianhuan. He immediately made a decision in his heart.
“This lady, you should be a new resident, right?
Look, there are a total of 9 of you, and it will take too long to enter your facial information.
Why don’t you let these two ladies enter first? It won’t take long for you to wait, just a few minutes.”
Lin Qianhuan chuckled, “Do I need to repeat myself?
First come, first served, do you understand?
Even if there are 20 of us, it’s not a reason for you to bring people to cut in line.”
The male employee was a little embarrassed, but Lin Qianhuan was a resident after all, and he didn’t dare to offend her too much. He could only look at Ma Tiangao with a troubled expression.
“Young Master Ma, this lady is unwilling to accommodate, this…
Why don’t you let the two beauties wait?”
