Age of Empires From Scratch

David didn't stay outside the police station for too long, but took Sophia to find a hotel to stay in first.

Before the two came here, they made various preparations, including various documents that were indistinguishable from the real ones. After the residence was completed, David went out at night and made a complete entry record. The personal history is almost wiped out.

By the way, I also set up an account for the two of them to ensure that there will be no money to spend in the future.

Now unless someone takes the two people's information to check paper documents for comparison, his current identity is true.

"British?"

"Well, it's more convenient to be British in this place at this time." David looked at Sophia: "You can speak British English, right?"

"Yes." Sophia learned a lot of languages ​​in Cold Winter Castle, including English, Chinese, Japanese, etc., which is convenient for her to play games and watch various film and television works: "Laura said that my accent is very authentic."

"Then there's no problem."

David thought for a while, there should be nothing he had forgotten, but when he turned his head, he found that Sophia had brought back a pile of newspapers from nowhere, spread a pile of newspapers on the bed, and was reading with gusto.

"What are you doing?"

"Find a place to live."

"ah?"

Sophia crossed her legs and carefully searched for the content she wanted in the newspaper: "Didn't you say that you will stay here for a long time? Do you want to stay in the hotel all the time?"

“There is nothing wrong with staying in a hotel.”

David is now used to being served by others. Living in a hotel, someone cleans up the house and cooks whatever he wants to eat, which is very convenient.

If you find a place to live by yourself, you have to do your own work.

Considering that Sophia is a little princess who has never even seen what a kitchen looks like, my task may not be easy.

Going to sit next to Sophia, Sophia fell into David's arms naturally, continued to hold the newspaper in her hand, and pointed it out to David: "There are many apartments for rent. How big is our rented room?"

"You want to rent an apartment?"

"Yeah, the neighbors are so lively." Sophia said that she had never experienced such a life, and it should be very interesting.

"Okay, I will listen to you."

Anyway, this is a world with no danger, so you can do whatever you want!

The two of them read the newspapers for half a night, and decided to go to the apartment building that was delineated by the two of them at dawn tomorrow. If it was suitable, they would sign the lease on the same day, and then go to buy furniture or something.

Thinking of this, David seemed to understand what Sophia was thinking: Is this because he wants to build a love nest with David?

Early the next morning, the energetic two went out early.

According to the several places recorded last night, I went around one by one.

As a result, Sophia was not very satisfied with the first few places. Some buildings are old and the environment of the corridors is not very good.

Although Sophia wanted to experience the 'life of ordinary people', she was not prepared to experience it so thoroughly. She wanted to find an apartment with a better environment.

"I hope the environment here will be better in the future."

In fact, as long as you ask a local person, such as a taxi driver, you can eliminate most of the choices that are not suitable for the environment.

But neither of them wanted to do this. Running around looking for a house is also an interesting thing. Why play the cut version?

When they came to the new building, David and Sophia got out of the car and saw the brand new building in front of them.

"It looks good here."

After comparing the address, it is indeed this building.

David looked around. This building is facing the street, but it is not a main avenue. It is very lively during the day, but there should not be too many cars going back and forth at night.

There are small supermarkets, tea restaurants, and teahouses around. When I came here by car just now, I remembered to walk a little way forward. There are several restaurants and restaurants around the corner. The location is quite good.

"What's the name of this building?"

"Tianxiahui."

"..."

"What's wrong?"

I always feel that a strong old man who can make waves with his bare hands will come out of it in the next second.

Stepping into the building, David found that there was a security room and a dedicated front desk on the first floor of the building, and several elevators corresponded to different units. The layout looks less like an apartment building and more like an office building.

As soon as the two came in, a security guard immediately came up to say hello: "What's the matter, please?"

"I saw an advertisement for houses for rent here, so I came here to take a look."

The security guard was suddenly taken aback when he heard the words, and greeted David with a smile: "He is here to see the house! Let me tell you, our building is definitely the top in Hong Kong. If you can't even see the houses here If you don’t, you won’t find a better apartment in Xiangjiang.”

Balabala, chirping...

While talking non-stop, the security guard returned to the front desk to pick up the phone, greeted a lady named Wang, and informed her that someone was coming to see the house.

"Okay, okay."

The security nodded in response, hung up the phone, and then came back to say hello to David: "The owner of the building is not here, and he won't be back until a while. Ms. Wang asked me to show you the house first."

"Then I will trouble you."

"Then I will trouble you."

"polite."

The security guard looked at David, then at Sophia, who looked like a standard foreign girl next to him, and seemed to want to ask something, but finally held back the words: "There are many vacant houses in the building, what kind of room do you want to rent?" ?”

"For two people to live, the space should be spacious enough."

"Is there any taboo on the floor?"

While asking, while leading the two into the elevator, David noticed that there were no numbers 4, 13, and 14 on the buttons of the elevator.

This is obviously a 20-story building, but the elevator button is marked to the 23rd floor.

"There is no taboo." Then he turned to Sophia and asked, "Which floor do you like to live in?"

"It should be between the 7th and 15th floors!" If it is too low or too high, you will feel uncomfortable. It is better to choose a place that is not too high or too low.

"Let's start looking at the 7th floor."

David nodded and agreed to the security guard's suggestion. At the same time, he was a little curious. Since this building called Tianxiahui is very good, why are there so many vacant houses?

The security guard told him that the building was only handed over some time ago, and after the interior renovation, it only started to recruit tenants last month, so there are still many vacant houses.

"Don't look at it until you start recruiting tenants. If the two of you come two months later, there may not be any vacant rooms."

"So that's how it is."

While chatting and looking at the house, Sophia finally fell in love with a room on the 11th floor. According to the introduction of the security guard surnamed Zhang, this is the largest apartment in the building. It is 1,500 square feet and has been simply renovated. As long as you buy some furniture and appliances, you can move in immediately.

Of course, if you are not satisfied with the current decoration, you can also find someone to redecorate by yourself, but in that case, you must discuss the decoration plan with the owner and sign a separate decoration agreement.

"I'm not going to find someone to redecorate."

David looked at it, and overall he was very satisfied. Just when David wanted to ask the landlord when he could come back, a message came from the security intercom, asking which floor he was on?

"I'm on the 11th floor with two guests, the biggest one."

Then he told David: "My boss, Ms. Wang, is back, and then you can talk to Ms. Wang."

"Thanks a lot."

David shook hands with Mr. Security to say goodbye, and passed a few pieces of paper by the way.

The security guard surnamed Zhang didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest, so he waited until the landlord, Ms. Wang, with a smile, said hello and left.

It was only then that David met the landlord of the building, and immediately realized that things might not be simple.

"Hello, I'm Wang Zhenzhen, the landlord of Tianxiahui."

"Hi, I'm David, and this is Sophia."

Wang Zhenzhen looked at the two people in front of her with a smile. The man was young and handsome, and the woman was young and beautiful, but it was obvious that these two were not locals. I wonder what they came to Xiangjiang for?

Pressing the question back to her stomach, Wang Zhenzhen introduced the situation of the house to the two with a smile.

After all, she is the landlord, and the security guard can only bring David to have a look, without introducing all the details. At this time, David has a clearer understanding of the house: the rent of this house is really expensive!

Fortunately, he is not short of money. He has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in his storage space. Even if the money is not enough, he is still an alchemist. He can change gold at any time, and he can do it easily. Money matters.

It doesn't matter even if the shady income is lower than the market price, after all, to David, it is really a stone, which can be picked up anytime and anywhere.

After signing the lease happily and having the priority to renew the lease, David happily paid all the rent for one year.

It was the first time for Wang Zhenzhen to see such happy tenants, and she welcomed the two new tenants with a smile.

"By the way, I also live on the 11th floor, in the middle unit."

There are three units in this building, but they are not completely self-contained and can be accessed through the stairwell.

"If you need anything, you can find me at 211A."

David's room is 111A, there are two rooms on each floor in the same unit, and 111B next to it is now vacant.

According to Wang Zhenzhen, there are currently only three households living on the 11th floor. Except for David and Wang Zhenzhen herself, Wang Zhenzhen's neighbor, that is, 211B, is her friend.

"She's at school now, and I'll introduce you to her later."

"School?"

"She's a teacher."

"oh!"

David thought it was the exorcist who wore miniskirts even in snowy days!

After chatting for a few words, Wang Zhenzhen gave David another business card, and introduced that he was selling furniture. David could buy most of the furniture he wanted from this person, and said that she could also charge eight fold.

After finishing these, Wang Zhenzhen left, and David and Sophia stayed in the room for a while, studying how to furnish the house and what to buy.

At this time, Wang Zhenzhen came back with a woman.

"This is David and that is Sophia. They just signed the lease today." Then he pointed to the short-haired woman beside him and introduced them: "This is Miss Hu, who is also here to see the house. Maybe you can become neighbors."
