Chapter 33 - The House.
It was definitely the most crowded building in entire Stronglord.
On the balcony of the fifth floor, individuals with expensive-looking dresses and suits was seen to be drinking tea and talking with smiles on their attractive faces.
NPC\'s and Players looked at them with envy.
Only the wealthy can even dream of entering the fifth floor.
Isaac entered the building.
He saw 10 desks with beautiful women sitting while NPC\'s and Players were lining up.
Isaac entered the shortest line and started waiting.
\'I hope 2300 White Coins is enough to rent a room...\' Isaac thought.
Even if it doesn\'t look like it, but houses and rooms are extremely important.
Your own house can be your own safe house, and no one can enter it without your permission. But, Guards are allowed to enter if needed.
There is also limited Inventory space— it is good to have your own room to store your items if your Inventory is getting too full.
Also, your Stamina will recover 100% faster in your own room or house.
You can also rent your own house if you want— that way Players can earn White Coins without even going to hunt monsters and wild animals.
Most Companies think that renting houses will be the easiest way to have a stable income.
Especially when more players enter Starting City, and houses are getting scarce.
Isaac wanted his own room to have his own spawn spot.
He doesn\'t want to log out somewhere random, where Players can ambush if they saw him log out.
And, he doesn\'t want to travel all the way to his room before logging out.
Having your own room is very handy.
Soon the line has ended, and it was Isaac\'s turn.
He sat down on the chair.
The beautiful woman in front of him frowned.
She was amazed after seeing the individual\'s beautiful face, but then she saw Isaac\'s dirty hair.
\'Does she even have money to rent a room?\' The beautiful woman thought with annoyance.
She has got a lot of Players who didn\'t have enough money, and they did nothing except waste her time.
\'\'Hello, what is your business with us?\'\' She asked with a professional smile.
\'\'Rent a room,\'\' Isaac said.
The woman resisted facepalming— her mouth twitched, she nodded.
She was so angry that she didn\'t even notice that Isaac was a boy!
\'\'Here.\'\' The woman showed pictures of different rooms with price tags.
Isaac looked at them and widened his eyes in shock.
The woman noticed his facial expressions changing— she sighed and asked, \'\'Which one will you choose?\'\'
She was certain that this beautiful individual didn\'t have money to pay for any of these rooms.
Isaac took one picture and showed her the picture, \'\'This one.\'\'
The woman looked shocked.
The room was simple with a small bathroom, own bedroom, and balcony. It would be nothing special for Isaac, who has lived in a mansion all his life, but for Stronglord, that room is excellent.
There was also a price tag.
[500 White Coins - Per Week]
It is expensive, but Isaac is confident that he can earn that much money with one hunting trip.
\'\'A-Are you sure you have that kind of money?\'\' The woman asked with a twitching eyebrow.
She didn\'t know was Isaac pulling her leg or what.
Isaac nodded and took 500 White Coins and put them on the desk.
The woman was once again shocked.
\'\'I-I-I see, I-I will give you papers.\'\' She shakily took pair of papers and gave them to Isaac.
Isaac looked at the papers and quickly signed them and gave one of them back, but kept another one.
She took the paper and gave pair of keys.
She still looked dumbfounded.
Isaac nodded and stood up.
He left the City Hall.
While the woman was still dumbfounded.
Even after the next individual sat in front of her, she didn\'t move.
Even she has not had that much money to live in that room!
Maybe for a month or so, but then her money reserves would be gone!
Isaac happily walked in the streets. He was satisfied that the rooms weren\'t that expensive.
He entered one neighborhood with stone fences and one pair of gates with pair of Guards.
The Guards saw poor-looking individual approaching.
They frowned— Isaac looked like someone belonging to the Slums.
Isaac appeared in front of them and showed them a paper.
One of the Guards looked at the paper and looked shocked.
This was not some cheap neighborhood where everyone can live!
But, apparently, this poor-looking individual had enough money to buy a rented room here!
The Guards opened the gates and let Isaac in.
Even if they felt doubtful about this individual, it is not their job to question is the paper real or not.
If they offend someone they shouldn\'t, they and their Captain will lose their heads.
The neighborhood was filled with three-floor buildings, couples happily walking on the streets, and some even had children.
Isaac also saw a few Players, but he ignored them and entered the yard of house, where his rented room is located.
It was another three-floor building with a front yard with a wooden fence surrounding it.
Someone in that residence has put four rooms on rent, and Isaac got one of them.
*Knock* *Knock*
Isaac knocked on the door a few times and heard some noise coming from the house.
The door was soon opened.
Isaac saw a young woman in her 18s with messy black hair which reached all the way to her waist. She looked quite attractive, but her face looked tired, and if she had put on some make-up, then she would definitely be a very beautiful individual.
Isaac looked at her nametag.
[Bella]
\'\'Hmm, who are you?\'\' Bella asked with a tired look— she rubbed her eyes and opened her bright blue eyes.
She saw a dirty-looking individual— at first, she thought that Isaac was a beggar, but then she saw him holding a paper.
Isaac smiled and gave her the paper.
Bella took the paper and widened her eyes, \'\'You rented the room?!\'\'
Isaac nodded and bowed, \'\'Let\'s get along.\'\'
\'\'A-Ah, yes!\'\' Bella said and stepped aside.
Isaac entered the house and saw stairways leading to the second floor not far from him.
He looked towards the left and saw the living room, and the kitchen was located on the right side.
There were two tables, one in the living room and one in the kitchen.
There was also multiple windows in the living room, which made the house quite bright.
Isaac looked towards the second floor and saw multiple rooms with numbers on the doors.
This will be where he lives for quite a long time.
