The Federationâs real estate agency was located about 300 meters from the Federal Building. The sign was huge, so Jiang Qiuqiu found it without much trouble.
The companyâs interior utilized the Federationâs most advanced environmental control technology. Machines regulated the temperature and humidity to the most comfortable levels for the human body. The moment Jiang Qiuqiu pushed the door open, she felt the difference.
The door opened, and a receptionist quickly came to greet Jiang Qiuqiu.
"Hello, maâam. Are you here to inquire about renting or buying a property?"
"Iâd like to rent a house."
"Oh, this way, please."
The receptionist smiled warmly and led Jiang Qiuqiu over to browse the listings. "What kind of house are you interested in? You can tell me your requirements."
A dazzling array of property listings appeared before her. Jiang Qiuqiu glanced over them. "May I take a look by myself first?"
"Of course."
Jiang Qiuqiu decided to find the perfect place this time. âMove once and be done with it. Itâll save a lot of trouble later.â
âIt should be in the Federal Main City, where security is better. A detached house would be best, and one with a garden would be perfect. I could try growing some vegetables.â
After she applied those filters, there werenât many properties left.
Jiang Qiuqiu carefully compared the remaining options for a moment, finally selecting the Starry Sky Roaming District, partly because its name sounded so lovely.
"Have you already chosen a property?"
"Yes, this one. How much is the rent per month?"
Although the receptionist was a trained sales agent, she was still a bit surprised by how decisive Jiang Qiuqiu was. After all, the clothes Jiang Qiuqiu wore werenât of the best quality, and she didnât look wealthy. How could she so readily commit to a house in the Starry Sky Roaming District?
âEven renting it costs 100,000 Star Coins a month...â
Jiang Qiuqiu winced at the 100,000 figure, but when she thought about the high-quality life she would have, she decisively committed. "Is the rent paid monthly or annually?"
"For this house, itâs paid every three months."
With money in her pocket, the process was straightforward. Less than fifteen minutes after walking in the door, Jiang Qiuqiu had already taken care of a "major life event."
Because of the high rent, the agency gifted Jiang Qiuqiu a complimentary robot moving service.
And the move was unbelievably fast!
Luggage and belongings were scanned and packed. Delivered in a flash by Federation Super-Robot Express. You deserve it.
Plus, since Jiang Qiuqiuâs previous place was also a rental, she was already standing in front of her new home before nightfall.
It was stunning.
The house was designed to resemble a traditional Chinese courtyard home, with gray-blue roof tiles and off-white walls in a classic tic-tac-toe layout that looked quaint and elegant. The outer yard contained several lifelike ornamental treesâwillows in front and poplars in backâgiving it a poetic charm. âA villa like this is definitely worthy of a hundred-thousand-a-month rent!â
Jiang Qiuqiu excitedly rushed into her new home.
While the exterior was antique, the interior was pure futuristic tech. The entire house was managed by robotics, objects moved at a thought, and there was an especially large kitchen!
Pushing open the back door revealed another small courtyard filled with numerous flowerpots and planters. It looked like a place the previous owner used for leisurely gardening.
After looking all around, Jiang Qiuqiu was extremely satisfied with her new home.
Then she took out her livestreaming equipmentâ
The drab, gray sensors and projector looked completely out of place in her new home.
Jiang Qiuqiu stared at the scene for a long time before silently opening Taotao.com!
âIf Iâm going to splurge, I might as well do it all at once! Letâs go, go, go, go, go!â
Advanced sensors? Got âem!
After upgrading everything that was missing or subpar, Jiang Qiuqiu stood in the central courtyard, holding out her hand to feel the breeze.
Resting with her eyes closed, Jiang Qiuqiu thought to herself:
âI just took a peek... the villas here in the Starry Sky Roaming District start at 100 million Star Coins. If I want to establish a real foothold in this era, Iâll have to keep working hard!â
âGo, me!â
