Another world: I loaded the career panel

Chapter 14 14. Buy?rent!
Two hours later, Raymond walked out of the 'Grey Tor Weapon Shop' with Arya, wearing leather armor and leather boots.

The gloves worn on the palms are a pair of black leather gloves, which can only be regarded as ordinary weapons.

As for the pair of magic weapon gloves made of dark iron and named 'Death' by Gretor, they are worth two hundred gold coins!

Raymond couldn't afford it at all.

Gray Tor said that this is a relatively cheap magic weapon.

At the same time, he kindly told Raymond that although the magic weapon is powerful, the higher the magic value, the more effective it can be. Raymond has just become an awakener, and the magic value is only over 100 at most. The magic weapon can only play a role. Not big.

"Let's wait until your magic value becomes higher and you understand the skills." Gretor said.

Raymond glanced at his magic value on the panel. If it was over 100, it was 100!

No, it's now 100.1.

"Name: Raymond Kelton."

"Age: 15."

"Magic value: 100.1/100.1."

"Occupation: Fighter."

"Skill: None."

……

"Huh? Will the upper limit of magic power increase by itself?" Raymond was a little surprised.

He obviously didn't do anything, but the upper limit of his magic power increased by 0.1 without knowing it.

"Raymond, what's wrong?" Arya heard Raymond talking to himself and asked from the side.

"Ah? It's okay..." Raymond chuckled twice, "I just feel like I'm not used to wearing this kind of equipment."

Especially when he came out in this outfit, people around him looked at him, knowing that there was another adventurer.

He hadn't planned to wear it originally, but Arya had made him wear it.

"I'm just afraid that you won't be used to it, so I have to wear it even more!"

Arya poked Raymond's breastplate with her finger, "You will have to wear this equipment to fight monsters in the future, so you must get used to wearing this equipment as soon as possible."

Raymond nodded, indicating that he understood.

Arya was very satisfied when she nodded, but she would never tell Raymond. She actually wanted others to know that Raymond had become an awakener.

Moreover, wearing this outfit, Raymond's demeanor was very different from before.

Is it because he became an awakened person?
Am I showing off?No... Arya immediately shook her head in her mind to get rid of this thought.

Then she thought of something else, and pulled Raymond along and said, "However, after buying this equipment, the remaining gold coins should not be enough to buy a house... So, let's stay in a hotel first!"

Raymond looked at this piece of equipment. This piece of equipment was not cheap. It cost nearly thirty gold coins in total!

Among them, the armor was the most expensive, costing a total of fifteen gold coins, the gloves cost eight gold coins, and the leather boots were cheaper, costing less than seven gold coins.

Therefore, the remaining gold coins in his hand were only 25, no, thirty gold coins.

Because there were four gold coins as compensation for Mrs. Weir's dismissal of them, and one gold coin that she had saved through hard work.

"It's okay. You can ask for the price first and then buy it later when you have enough money!"

Raymond also knew that the remaining gold coins were no longer enough to buy a house, but he still planned to take a look.

Anyway, you don’t need to spend money to take a look, and you can also know the price, which makes it much more convenient to buy later.

"But... the most important thing now is to buy something to eat first!" Raymond said with a smile.

It was almost noon, but the two of them hadn't eaten anything since morning, but they were used to it before, and now it was just time to go eat.

Food prices in the East District are much more expensive than those in the South District. In the past, they took time off to visit the East District, and when they were hungry, they would go back to the South District to buy something to eat.

However, now that there is no shortage of money, there is no need to do that anymore.

The two came to a restaurant and ordered two set meals that they had wanted to eat before but were reluctant to eat because they were too expensive.

"Wow, that set meal is so delicious!"

After the two of them finished eating and went out, Arya praised with satisfaction, "I've wanted to eat it before, but I finally got it today...but I still think it's so expensive!"

In the end, she still felt a little worried about money.

Raymond just smiled and said nothing.

The price of that set meal was two silver coins, and the two of them spent a total of four silver coins.

Now Raymond also has some understanding of the currency value here. The purchasing power of a copper coin is roughly equivalent to one dollar in the previous life, a silver coin is equivalent to 100 yuan, and a gold coin is equivalent to 1 yuan.

"Let's go see the house!"

……

The two soon arrived at the 'Housing Chamber of Commerce'.

What surprised Raymond was that the employees of the 'Housing Chamber of Commerce' were actually demi-human and beast-eared girls!

They were dressed in maid outfits, smiling and very professional.

When he saw Raymond and the others coming in, a girl with animal ears immediately came up to greet them. She bent down and said hello, "Hello, adventurer. Do you need to buy a house?"

When Raymond subconsciously looked at the beast-eared girl, he almost wasn't frightened.

What a big white boy!
In addition, the collar of the beast-eared girl was already a little low, and after bending down, it looked whiter.

Raymond was sure that he was not that kind of person, but his eyes were still involuntarily attracted to him.

However, considering that there was Arya beside him, Raymond still turned his head back with amazing will.

But it was obvious that Arya still saw it, glaring at Raymond with dissatisfaction.

"Ahem... We just came over to take a look, and if there is a suitable house, we will buy it." Raymond pretended to cough twice to hide his embarrassment, not daring to look at Arya.

"Okay, if the guests want to know anything, they can ask me."

A charming smile appeared on the face of the beast-eared girl, "So, adventurer, what kind of house do you want?"

When it comes to what kind of house he wants, Raymond himself doesn't know. He only has thirty gold coins on him. Whether he can afford it is another matter.

Therefore, of course this kind of question cannot be answered.

"Rather than what I want, I would rather know what houses are available and their prices...can you tell us about them?"

Raymond cleverly asked the question to the beast-eared girl.

"of course can!"

However, the beast-eared girl did not introduce them, but took Raymond and Arya to the reception area, brought a plate of snacks and two cups of milk tea, and handed them to Raymond and the others.

The dim sum looks very tempting, and the milk tea also exudes a rich and mellow aroma. Especially, both the dim sum and the milk tea seem to be very expensive.

So even if they have just eaten, they still have a strong appetite at this time.So the two of them ate snacks and drank milk tea while listening to the introduction by Beast Ear Girl.

"If you, our guests, are adventurers, then you probably want to live in the East District. In the East District, there are roughly three types of houses..."

"The first type is a single-family house with a courtyard where you can plant flowers and plants...the price ranges from two hundred gold coins to five hundred gold coins..."

"The second type is a two-story townhouse. This type has no courtyard...the price ranges from 150 gold coins to [-] gold coins..."

"The third type is a house with several families living in it, one user per floor... The price ranges from one hundred gold coins to two hundred gold coins."

……

After listening to Beast-Ear Girl's introduction to housing prices in the East District, Raymond and Arya felt that the snacks in their hands instantly lost their flavor.

Even the lowest price is more than one hundred gold coins!
Raymond took a slow sip of milk tea and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"If there is anything else, it's the South District. The prices there are much cheaper than those in the East District!" The smile on the animal-eared girl's face remained unabated.

In the South District, most ordinary people live there, and the Weir Hotel is also opened there. The housing prices are the cheapest in West Town.

Then the beast-eared girl began to introduce the housing prices in the South District to Raymond and the others.

However, after listening to the introduction again and hearing that the cheapest house in the South District costs more than thirty gold coins, Arya's face couldn't help but turn slightly red. She lowered her head and looked at the snack in her hand. It was neither a matter of eating nor not eating. .

Raymond was relatively calm, because he was already mentally prepared to not be able to afford a house before he came.

"Can I rent it?" At this time, Raymond suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Arya raised her head, why didn't she think of it.

In the past, I only thought about buying a house when I got rich, but I never thought about renting.

"Of course!" Beast Ear Girl said, "But if you rent a house, you have to pay one year's rent first."

"No problem, then tell us about the houses available for rent in the East District."

Later, under the introduction of the Beast Ear Girl, Raymond chose a townhouse on Red Rose Street in the East District. The annual rent was twelve gold coins, but he had to go and take a look first.

At this time, all the snacks and milk tea had been wiped out. Arya looked at the empty snacks and felt a little embarrassed. She basically ate them all by herself.

But it’s really delicious!

The beast-eared girl led the two of them out of the 'House Chamber of Commerce' and came to a carriage. She smiled and said, "Red Rose Street is some distance away from here, so we take the carriage there."

Raymond and Arya looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

I have to say that the service provided by the 'Housing Chamber of Commerce' is really considerate. From the moment they entered the Chamber of Commerce, the two people's goodwill gradually increased.

After getting on the carriage and sitting on the soft cushions, it might be her first time riding in a carriage, which made Aaliya a little nervous.

Raymond saw this and put his hand on the back of her hand to reassure her.

But seeing the beast-eared girl looking at them with ambiguous eyes, Arya couldn't help but blush, but in the end she didn't take her hand out.

Led by the carriage, the three of them soon arrived in front of the townhouse No. 25 on Red Rose Street.

This is a two-story building with a polygonal hip roof. The overall appearance is gray-blue and has two eye-catching chimneys.

Of course, there is no courtyard lawn or garden. The entrance directly faces the street, and there are two buildings of the same style next to it.

The beast-eared girl took out a bunch of metal keys and introduced the door while opening the door: "The entrance to this townhouse is the living room. There are two guest rooms behind the living room, and there are windows for lighting..."

As the door opened, what they saw was a long sofa bathed in sunlight and a living room that was larger than their previous room.

"The kitchen and dining room are on the right, and the bathroom is on the left, as well as a fireplace that can be used for heating in winter..." Beast Ear Girl pointed with familiarity.

A fireplace, this is what Raymond and Arya long for most!
The winter in West is very cold. When working at the Weir Hotel, it can be said that they are all woken up by the cold in winter.

Every winter, my hands and feet would develop chilblains and even become chapped. If I lifted something heavy, my skin would immediately crack and bleed.

But soak it in hot water at night and get some sleep, and it will heal a little the next day.

Therefore, Raymond's fingers were split, healed, split again, healed again... This was a very painful and torturous time.

After viewing the first floor, the beast-eared lady took them along the stairs to the second floor.

"The innermost one on my left is the bathroom. It is much larger than the second floor, and it also has a bathtub... On both sides of it are two bedrooms with beds, tables, and wardrobes..."

Under the leadership of the beast-eared girl, Raymond and the others saw the bathroom. Sure enough, there was a bathtub, and a folding door separated the bathtub from the toilet.

The most important thing is that it is clean and has no smell.

This is much better than the washroom on the fourth floor of the Vail Hotel, because that washroom is a public washroom.

Although people were arranged to clean it every day, it was still not clean enough, especially when most of the employees were men. Sometimes Raymond couldn't stand the smell coming from inside, let alone a girl like Arya.

Arya stared here blankly, and she didn't react until Beast-Ears took Raymond to the bedroom next to her.

As for the right side, there is the balcony, which can be used to dry clothes, which is very convenient. There is also a large room that can be used to store sundries or be used as a bedroom.

It can be said that it is perfect.

After looking at the entire house and returning to the first floor, the beast-eared girl looked at Raymond with a smile and asked, "Sir Adventurer, are you satisfied with this house?"

As for Arya, you already knew it just by looking at her previous reaction.

Raymond is also very satisfied with this house. It is fully furnished and there is no need for them to buy new ones. Most importantly, there are many adventurers living on this street, and there are knights who patrol by at night, so they feel safe. Full.

Adventurers are a group of people who are very sensitive to danger. As long as there is something strange around them, they will not hesitate to take action for their own safety.

Many wealthy businessmen choose to live in the East District for this reason.

So both parties signed the contract quickly.

The deposit is ten gold coins, and then one year's rent must be paid first, twelve gold coins, for a total of 22 gold coins.

After watching the beast-eared girl leave in the carriage, Raymond and Arya stood at the door of No. 25 Red Rose Street with the keys.

"Raymond, am I really not dreaming?"

Arya looked at the key in her hand with some disbelief on her face.

Raymond took a deep breath and smiled: "If this is a dream, just don't wake up!"

"Ahhh!"

Arya rushed over and hugged Raymond, shouting happily, "I really wasn't dreaming!"

That night, the two took a comfortable bath and returned to their respective rooms.

They all live in bedrooms on the second floor, one on the left and one on the right, very close to each other.

Lying on the big soft bed, Raymond was content.

Just when he was about to sleep peacefully, the door handle creaked and was turned open.

Arya appeared at the door wearing loose, thin pajamas. Her skin was slightly red, probably because she had just taken a bath.

She bit her lip lightly, her eyes moved slightly, and she said in a slightly trembling voice: "Lemon, I'm afraid!"
