285 We’re Fated
It was a small two-story house with a single door and courtyard. It looked quite new, with only the most basic doors and windows. The red bricks were exposed outside, and the ground in the courtyard was also made of sand. Yu Xinya was not in high spirits when she looked at the other houses. When she saw the courtyard, her eyes lit up.
The yard was big enough to accommodate everyone in the base. Yu Xinya turned to look at Wu Yan, “How much is the monthly rent for this courtyard?”
Wu Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly regained his senses and smiled even more politely. “When you first came in, I already felt that you were a big shot. This is such a good courtyard, and only someone of your status is worthy of it…”
As the head of the base, Yu Xinya managed more than 200 people in the base. She would not be distracted by a few flattering words. She waited calmly for Wu Yan to finish before asking, “How much is the monthly rent for this courtyard?”
Before Wu Yan could speak, she continued, “The third base is so big. There should be many rental agencies, right? We came to you first. This also proves that we’re fated, right, Mr. Wu?”
Wu Yan was stunned for a moment before he laughed dryly. “Yes… That’s right, we’re fated.” He was just thinking that since this group of people had just arrived and were in a hurry to find a place to stay, he might be able to make a huge profit from them. However, it seemed that he had been overthinking.
However, even if he could not make a fortune, Wu Yan did not want to let the customers who came to his door run away. “In addition to the front yard you just saw, there’s a backyard at the back of this house. It’s about a few acres in size. After you rent it, you can build another house.”
Yu Xinya was already very interested in this courtyard. After hearing this, she became even more interested. However, this time, she did not show her feelings on her face, nor did she respond to Wu Yan. She just quietly listened to him. “This kind of large courtyard is not rented on a monthly basis because if the residents keep moving, it’ll be very troublesome for everyone. The rules of the base state that the contract must be signed at least once every half a year. The rent for half a year is 1,500 contribution points.”
Du Yue was pleasantly surprised when she heard the words ‘contribution points.’ After all, when they were in the first base, they used contribution points to trade. Seeing that Yu Xinya did not respond, Wu Yan quickly said, “You’re new here. You don’t have any contribution points, do you? It’s fine as long as you’ve brought your supplies. You can exchange them for contribution points at the Trade Center. However, how much you can exchange for will depend on the value of your supplies.”
“Thank you. Let’s go to the Trade Center to take a look.” Du Yue nodded slightly at Wu Yan, then glanced at Yu Xinya. Yu Xinya understood what she meant. She nodded and was about to leave with her. As for the courtyard they had just seen, the three of them did not say anything about it, nor did they ask Wu Yan to help them reserve it. If there were people interested in such a large courtyard, it would have been taken up long ago, but it was still empty, which meant that no one was renting it. If the rental agency could really rent it out as soon as they left, then they could only blame themselves for being unlucky.
The third base was so big. Even if they did not rent this courtyard home, it should not be difficult to rent a suitable one. Wu Yan sent the three of them out. After watching them get into the car, he was still a little reluctant. “Come back and look for me after you’re done exchanging contribution points. I’ll wait for you in the shop!”
Their car had already traveled quite a distance, so Du Yue and the other two had no idea that Wu Yan was still eagerly waiting for them to return. In less than three minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the Trade Center. After all, the Trade Center was an official organization of the base, so it was quite large and had three doors. After walking in, they saw that the hall was very s.p.a.cious and bright. There was a row of counters that were wiped clean without a speck of dust.
There were a few staff members sitting behind the counters. When they saw Du Yue and the other two walk in, they said, “The exchange forms are hanging on the wall. Take a look for yourselves.”
Hearing this, Du Yue looked at the wall. There were indeed a few forms hung on it. The forms were densely packed with the names of various materials and the number of contribution points they could be exchanged for.
