Is the price-performance ratio a bit low?

As long as the task is completed quickly, cost-effectiveness doesn't matter!

Chen Fei simply walked in, glanced around briefly, and immediately proposed signing a contract.

Shen Shaoting suddenly interjected, "Landlord, that's too expensive! How about 2200? This handsome guy is renting long-term and doesn't keep any pets!"

The landlord looked troubled: "Miss, this price is already cheap enough..."

After some haggling, the landlord finally relented: "Alright, alright, 2200 it is, but you have to rent for at least two years."

Chen Fei looked at Shen Shaoting with some surprise, not expecting her to be such a good negotiator.

When signing the contract, the landlord specifically reminded me: "By the way, there's a problem with the flushing in the master bedroom's bathroom. I'll have someone come and fix it in a while."

"Understood, understood, thank you for your help."

Chen Fei was only focused on completing the mission quickly and didn't care about these minor details at all.

He quickly signed his name on the contract, added the landlord on WeChat, and transferred 4400 yuan to him.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission "What is Home?"]

[Acquire skill: Skillful Craftsmanship]

Then, Chen Fei's mind quickly flooded with all sorts of knowledge, all related to furniture and appliances: refrigerators, fans, air conditioners, tables and chairs, and so on.

He tried to maintain a calm expression, savoring the tingling pleasure of knowledge entering his mind.

This process lasted only a little over ten seconds. After it ended, this knowledge was engraved in Chen Fei's mind like multiplication tables, and he could apply it flexibly at any time.

The landlord left after helping Chen Fei set the room password and fingerprint lock.

As soon as he left, Shen Shaoting immediately started complaining: "Brother Fei, don't believe him! This landlord is so slow at fixing things. Last time our toilet leaked, it took two weeks for someone to come and fix it!"

Lin Jingyi nodded in agreement: "Besides, the repairman who came wasn't very skilled; it broke again not long after he fixed it."

"It's okay, I'll fix it," Chen Fei said with a smile.

Shen Shaoting's eyes lit up: "Really? Could you check our fan? Our room fan broke a few days ago, and it's so hot we have to sleep naked."

Upon hearing the words "sleeping naked," Lin Jingyi quickly nudged Shen Shaoting with her elbow: "Why are you saying all this? Only you sleep naked, okay? Don't drag me into this."

Chen Fei coughed awkwardly, "Let me go see what the problem is."

The three of them took the elevator and quickly returned to Shen Shaoting's room.

"Look, this is it." Shen Shaoting pointed to the fan, scratching her head a little embarrassedly. "I was in a hurry to leave a couple of days ago and tripped over the power cord, which knocked it over, and then it stopped working."

Chen Fei approached, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

After acquiring the [Craftsmanship] skill, his eyesight became much sharper, and he could roughly tell what the problem was after just a quick glance.

"The motor must have broken," Chen Fei said calmly, looking up. "Do you have a screwdriver? I'll take it apart and see."

"A screwdriver?" Shen Shaoting paused, then turned to Lin Jingyi. "Jingyi, do we have one of these at home? I don't think we do, right?"

Lin Jingyi tried hard to recall, then nodded firmly: "Yes, I really haven't. I usually only use scissors; I've never bought screwdrivers or anything like that."

Chen Fei was not surprised, as many young women who rent apartments do not have these tools at home.

He unplugged the fan and clapped his hands: "It's okay, I was just going home to get my luggage anyway, and I'll buy a set of tools on my way back."

"We'll go with you!" Shen Shaoting immediately chimed in, sounding enthusiastic. "We've got nothing else to do anyway, and we can help you carry some things!"

Lin Jingyi nodded in agreement.

But Chen Fei knew in his heart that his so-called "getting luggage" was just a pretext.

He really didn't want to go back to that smelly rental room, and there wasn't much he could take with him anyway.

His real plan was to go to the nearby shopping mall, buy a suitcase first, and then buy some new clothes—after all, with the God of Men system, good clothes would definitely enhance his charm.

It's not appropriate for Shen Shaoting and the others to see this kind of unexplained high spending right now, as it would be troublesome to explain.

Chen Fei politely declined, saying, "No need. I don't have much stuff, just a few clothes. You guys can have some snacks and play on your phones at home. I'll be back soon."

His reasoning was reasonable, and the two large bags of tempting snacks at his feet were obviously more appealing.

Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi exchanged a glance, their eyes shifting between the snack bag and Chen Fei before they quickly succumbed to the temptation of the potato chips, spicy strips, and iced tea.

"Alright then! Fei-ge, hurry back, we're waiting for you to show off your skills!" Shen Shaoting said, already tearing open a bag of potato chips.

"Okay, definitely." Chen Fei nodded and turned to leave the apartment.

After going downstairs, Chen Fei did not head back towards his original rented room, but went straight to a nearby medium-sized shopping mall.

He had a clear goal: first, he bought a black suitcase with a good price-performance ratio, and then he bought several short-sleeved shirts, casual pants, and a simple shirt.

Although they are all versatile basics, the fabric and tailoring look much better than the original owner's clothes.

Finally, he used navigation to find a hardware store and bought a German tool kit for over 300 yuan. It contained all the commonly used tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and voltage testers.

As for everyday items like brooms, buckets, and clotheslines, he decided to just buy them at the supermarket downstairs in his apartment building, rather than carrying them all the way here.

By the time he returned to his apartment building with his newly bought suitcase and tool kit, it was already getting dark.

He went downstairs to the "Yongkelong" supermarket and quickly bought all the daily necessities he needed.

But when he was carrying his things and ready to pay, he found that the cashier was empty.

The supermarket was brightly lit and the shelves were neatly arranged, but the owner was nowhere to be seen.

"Boss? Check please!" Chen Fei shouted.

"Hey! Coming, coming!" A slightly anxious voice came from the direction of the supermarket's side entrance.

The supermarket owner was seen wiping his sweat as he jogged over, his forehead covered in beads of sweat and his face looking rather unwell.

After running to the cashier, he quickly scanned Chen Fei's code. After Chen Fei paid, he hurriedly ran to the side door.

Chen Fei glanced in the direction he left and saw a large freezer outside the side door.

Curious, he followed and discovered that the back panel of the freezer had been removed. The owner was holding a screwdriver, seemingly at a loss as to how to solve the complex wiring inside.

"Boss, what's going on?" Chen Fei asked.

The shop owner turned around at the sound, saw it was the same customer from before, sighed, and said with a worried look:

"Ugh, this freezer suddenly stopped cooling! If it's not fixed soon, everything inside will melt! I called the repairman, and he said he'd come this afternoon, but it's almost evening and there's still no sign of him! I thought I'd take a look myself, but I don't understand anything..."

As he spoke, he patted the exterior of the freezer with a sigh.

Seeing his boss's anxious expression, Chen Fei felt a surge of eagerness to try it out.

He stepped forward and said to the bewildered boss:

"Boss, how about... I give it a try?"
