From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 118 Jinxia Building
the next day.

After settling the wages, Jiang Yao left the construction site without any delay.

He didn't have much luggage, just a backpack with some personal belongings.

In the early years, Yuen Long was actually a rural area. It was only in later years that some high-rise buildings began to be built.

Compared to other places in the Federation, this place is quite prosperous, but compared to other areas in Hong Kong, there is still a big gap.

Walking on the street and after thinking for a while, Jiang Yao felt that going to Yau Tsim Mong would be more suitable for his development than staying in Yuen Long.

To be honest, with Jiang Yao's ability, if he was willing to join those wealthy and powerful families, he would definitely have no worries about food, clothing, and money.

It's just that he is a bit stubborn and doesn't like living under someone else's roof.

Although the ancients said that if you learn good skills, you can sell them to the emperor, but that was the ancients, not him.

If you really have such great ability, why not be an emperor yourself? Why do you have to work for others?
Man Ching Street, Yau Ma Tei.

Standing in front of an old building called Jinxia Building, Jiang Yao looked at the red paper on the wall nearby that said house for rent, then walked in exhausted.

If you want to settle down here, you must first rent a house and have a place to stay.

However, after rushing here, he wandered around for most of the day and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. There was not much time left before dark, but he still hadn't solved the problem of the house.

Of course, the reason for this is not that it is difficult to find a rental house here, but mainly because he has too little money.

Before he actually saw it, it was really hard for him to imagine that the rent for a small single room, which the locals call a subdivided flat and is not much bigger than a chicken coop, could be two to three thousand yuan a month.

He wandered around for most of the day and looked at quite a few houses, but with the limited assets he had, there were only a few houses he could afford to rent.

"I hope I can find a single room in the Jinxia Building that's reasonably priced and in a decent condition!" Sighing, he walked into the Jinxia Building.

Although there was a security room at the entrance of the building, it was empty and no one was seen.

After looking around, he waited near the security room for a while and finally saw an old man with a hunched back, walking towards him with a dustpan and broom in his hands.

"Old man, what do you call me?"

"Just call me Dong Bo, young man, what do you want?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yao nodded, and added: "I saw a red piece of paper posted in front of your building saying that the house is for rent, but there is no contact information on it. Can I ask how I can contact the owner of the house?"

"No need to contact me, just come to me directly!" Dong Bo stopped and looked Jiang Yao up and down. "The house for rent is on the 14th floor. If you are interested, I will take you there to have a look."

After saying a few words, he began to cough continuously.

Covering his mouth with one hand and pounding his back with the other, Dong Bo looked a little better after a while.

"I came here just to look at the house."

"Dong Bo, if you are okay and can take me over to see you, that would be the last thing on the list." Jiang Yao responded with a smile.

"I'm old and useless. I just cough a few times. It's just an old problem. It's no big deal."

"If you want to see the house, just follow me!" Dong Bo walked into the security room, opened the drawer, and took out several sets of keys from it.

He called out to Jiang Yao, then led the way towards the elevator.

"Dong Bo, are you the building security guard?"

"I guess so. I've been working here for almost 30 years."

"It's good to have a stable job. Don't you have a house for rent? It's an extra income, which is much better than the average person."

"I don't have the ability to buy a house. The houses for rent in the building all belong to the owners. I am just looking after them on their behalf."

……

While chatting, the elevator they took soon reached the fourteenth floor.

Following Dong Bo, Jiang Yao walked out of the elevator.

The house on this floor has an aisle in the middle and doors on both sides.

I don't know if the house was like this when it was built, or if the owner who bought it later renovated it and deliberately divided it into small rooms for rent.

"Young man, there are still three vacant rooms here that have not been rented out."

"In terms of area, No. 7 and No. 8 are similar, both are 6,000 per month, and the rent is payable monthly, and cannot be in arrears."

"As for the last remaining room, Room 16, the rent is the cheapest, only four thousand dollars a month, but I don't recommend you rent that room."

Walking out into the corridor, Dong Bo pointed to several empty rooms that could be rented out and introduced them to Jiang Yao.

"Room 16 is only four thousand? What's the area like? If possible, can you take me in to have a look now?" Jiang Yao frowned as he listened to Dong Bo's introduction.

The rent alone, not even mentioning the deposit, is already so expensive. With the little money he has, if he really rents a house that costs 6,000 yuan a month, he might not even have enough money to buy a bed or quilt.

He had no choice but to target the cheapest house. "If you want to see it, of course there is no problem."

"But I have to warn you first that this house is a little dirty."

"None of the tenants who came in successively could live there for more than a month. The last tenant before you only lived there for less than ten days before he was sent directly to Qingshan Mental Hospital. I don't even know if he's out yet."

"That house has been vacant for almost half a year. Are you sure you really want to go in and take a look?"

With a strange look on his face, Dong Bo looked at Jiang Yao again and confirmed with him.

"Look, I must see it!" Originally, he was only slightly interested in the house, but now, after listening to Dong Bo's introduction, his eyes almost glowed green.

His Tiger Evil training form had fallen into a stagnant state after drawing the Yin Evil Energy into his body twice.

The reason for this is very simple. After leaving the small county town where he grew up, he has been on the run ever since and has never found a place where there is evil energy.

If you cannot allow evil spirits to enter your body and just practice the Tiger Evil form normally, it will be easy to turn yourself into a muscular man.

Bingzai might like this image, but Jiang Yao is not very interested in it.

After all, muscular men make people feel very aggressive, which does not conform to his principle of being low-key. His current weak appearance is more in line with his own aesthetic concept.

Others might be afraid of things like monsters, but that definitely doesn't include Jiang Yao now.

If there really is something dirty in Room 16, that would be great for him.

Maybe, he could get some evil energy to allow him to draw evil into his body again.

Everything had been made so clear, but Jiang Yao still insisted on looking at the house. Dong Bo naturally wouldn't say anything else.

Hunched over, he found the key to the room, walked along the corridor to the door of the innermost room, and opened it.

“Take a look around!” Pointing inside, Dong Bo said, “In terms of area, this room is actually much larger than Room 7 and Room 8.”

"Normally, it's impossible to rent such a big house for 4,000 a month."

"Ignore what I just said, you're actually getting a pretty good deal for this room at this price."

While Dong Bo was speaking, Jiang Yao had already walked into the room.

The entire room is about 17 or 18 square meters.

There is a small bathroom inside, and the remaining space next to it can be used to cook if necessary by putting a table and buying some kitchen utensils.

As for the room, after putting together a single bed, there is still a little space left, so you can buy a simple wardrobe and put it in there.

Although a room like this is a little more expensive than the chicken coop-like house Jiang Yao had seen before, it is much better.

"Dong Bo, can the price be lower?"

After just a quick glance around the room, Jiang Yao had already decided in his heart to rent the house. However, he still had to bargain for a while.

"Young man, the price is fixed by the owner. There is really no way to get a discount."

"But you can be more lenient with the deposit."

"If you rent other houses, you have to pay a month's deposit, but here, you only need half a month's deposit, and you can extend it to a month later."

"If you have no problem here, you can go downstairs to the security room to sign the contract now. If you can't accept this, then I can't do anything about it!"

Looking directly at Jiang Yao, Dong Bo started coughing again as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll rent it for this price!" After staring at Dong Bo for a long time and seeing that he didn't show any intention of backing down, Jiang Yao had no choice but to nod and agree.

After Jiang Yao signed the contract and paid the money, he bought a quilt and various daily necessities from a nearby store. When he returned to the fourteenth floor, the sun had already set and night was falling.

"Newly moved in? Which room? Do you want to take care of my business? I'll give you a 50% discount!"

When Jiang Yao followed Dong Bo to look at the house before, he didn't see a single person.

After such a delay, when he came back here with a lot of things, the doors of several rooms had already been opened.

Two ragged women with heavy makeup were talking about something, but when they saw Jiang Yao, one of them gave him a seductive look and greeted him.

After a pause, Jiang Yao slowed down his pace and looked at the woman who greeted him.

If he guessed correctly, the older sister in front of him, who was obviously several years older than him, should be a musician.

Because above the open door behind her, a poster had appeared at some point, and the two big characters "Queen Xiao" on it were so eye-catching.

"Well, I just moved into Room 16. We are all neighbors, so please take care of us in the future!"

Jiang Yao smiled and nodded to the two beauties as a greeting. Then he walked to the door, took out the key, opened the room, and walked in.
