Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 165

At the Government Base

Today was the day the housing office had promised to be open, so Rayne and Julian loaded their backpacks with high-quality resources from her system and walked over to the housing office.

They tried to get there early so they could have first pick of the available units.

As they arrived at the housing office, they ran into Reginald, who had just finished purchasing electricity for his unit.

"Rayne, Julian," he greeted politely.

"Good morning, Mr. Soto! Were you able to make your purchase?" asked Rayne cheerfully.

Reginald nodded. "Yes, thankfully there was no problem with that. We will move out today. Again, thank you for allowing us to stay in your home for so many days."

"Not a problem! You guys are like family to me!" said Rayne, while Julian smiled.

After exchanging a few more words, Reginald went back to their apartment to prepare for the move, while Rayne and Julian walked over to the counter.

"Hello, how may I help you today?" asked the housing staff. _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

Rayne smiled. "Hello, we’re interested in renting a few more units." She wanted to see if they could secure at least four rooms, and if they were in close proximity, that would be even better.

The housing staff member quickly pulled up the list of available units and showed them to Rayne and Julian.

Rayne looked at the list and was surprised to see that so many units were available! She scanned the long list and quickly asked about their locations.

After the housing staff member explained the locations, Rayne picked out the neighboring unit first so she wouldn’t have to undo all of her setup efforts.

The other units she chose were all three-bedroom units, which were spread out on different floors of a building near their building.

In total, she chose five rooms, all with electricity.

The housing staff member looked at Rayne with a surprised expression. "Are you sure you want all of these? I must add that the prices have gone up again."

Rayne nodded. "Yes, please. I’d like all of these and with electricity. Let’s do a four-month deposit for now."

The housing staff member couldn’t believe it and quickly calculated the cost for four three-bedroom units and one two-bedroom unit.

"That will be 5,050 points per month," she said matter-of-factly.

Rayne was indeed surprised by how much the prices had gone up. If it was over 5,000 points, that meant the cost per unit was about 1,000 points a month!

She wasn’t sure what kind of job on base paid someone enough points to rent an apartment. It seemed like the officials of the base didn’t care much about the welfare of its residents.

Rayne pulled up her backpack and dumped the contents on the counter.

"Could you calculate how many points these items are worth?" asked Rayne.

The housing staff member’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe the sight in front of her: cigars, medicines, hand warmers, canned meat, and clothing scattered across the counter.

"Oh, these shirts are made from nanofiber and are excellent at insulating heat," said Rayne. She wanted to ensure the housing staff understood the value of the clothing.
