Li Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "It’s not far from here, there is a Li Yun District, and the housing conditions there are quite good. Many superpower users choose to rent there. All the houses there are daily rentals, and the rent is not too high. Let’s go there."
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, unfamiliar with the area, nodded in agreement after hearing this.
They drove quickly to the Li Yun District mentioned by Li Qingyun. Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye glanced at it, and from the outside, there seemed to be nothing unusual, leaving them curious about the condition inside.
The entrance of this district was also guarded, with three times more personnel than the one where Li Qingyun lived. The entrance fee was even higher - without an ID card, each person had to pay three Basic-level Crystal Cores, making a total of nine.
Fang Yuxin paid the Crystal Cores and asked the guard about the rental place, then they went straight in. The rental area was not far from the entrance, located in the first building inside the gate. The sign was hung on the first-floor balcony, probably for visibility to all passersby.
When the three of them approached, the balcony emitted a faint orange-yellow light, not like electric lights, more like candles.
"Is anyone there? We would like to rent a place," Li Qingyun called out. Before long, they heard someone yawn and then, with a ’swoosh,’ curtains were pulled open, and a woman stood inside behind the safety bars. After glancing at them lazily, she asked, "What kind of house do you want to rent?"
Li Qingyun glanced at Fang Yuxin, who then said, "A three-bedroom, as long as it is clean."
The woman yawned again and then said, "I know, it’s in this building, room 702 on the 7th floor. Thirty Basic-level Crystal Cores for one night. If you want it, hand over the Cores, and I will give you the key."
Thirty Crystal Cores were not a lot for them, but with such pricing, ordinary superpower users probably couldn’t afford it. Without hesitation, Fang Yuxin counted out thirty Basic-level Crystal Cores, showed them to the woman, and asked, "The key?"
The woman was surprised at their directness, sizing them up. However, she was efficient, and while sizing them up, she didn’t forget to take out the key.
Both sides exchanged the Crystal Cores for the key, and Fang Yuxin nodded to her, then along with Bai Ye and Li Qingyun, they headed toward the staircase.
