Chapter 4: Finding a House

Chapter 4: Finding a House

His purpose in going to Capital Star was also very simple: first, good public order; second, school was about to start, and the true young master would also come to school, but this bad seed could only come alone.

The original owner was dead, and if he couldn't kill this guy, he wouldn't let him have an easy time either.

Of course, Interstellar law could be followed, or it could be used in reverse.

Qi Shu, who woke up from a nap and found he couldn't return to the apocalypse, could only find his own way out.

On the second day of the spaceship's journey, Snake Man sent good news, saying he participated in a competition and won a million star coin prize with his Star Card.

He also said he was very happy and thrilled to use his Star Card.

Afterward, Snake Man sent him another link, and when he clicked on it, he found... not only was Snake Man's opponent nauseated, but even the audience present didn't escape.

Below this video were all victims' memoirs:

"What kind of biochemical weapon was made by which Card Maker! I wasn't paying attention and took a big whiff..."

"Disaster! An epic disaster!"

"Card Maker who made the Star Card, are you okay? This is the first time I've wanted to hit a Card Maker!"

"Human joys and sorrows are not interconnected; I didn't expect to be attacked just by watching a game..."

"That smell could even penetrate our Mental Power protective shields to attack us!!!"

"Disgusting, I won't even mention what the smell was, truly disgusting!"

"A hundred people farting?? Which Card Maker is so outrageous! Can't he think of something normal!"

Qi Shu guiltily closed the screen; could he say he didn't do it on purpose? He really just followed a formula at the time, after all, the first Star Card he had ever seen was: twenty people picking their noses!

Snake Man: Haha, I'll transfer another two hundred thousand to you! I'm so happy today! Finally won back my capital!

Qi Shu: No need.

Just as he was about to transfer it back to the other party, Snake Man suddenly reminded him.

Snake Man: Renting in Capital Star is quite expensive; your money, plus food and drink, probably won't last a month.

Qi Shu:...No, the inflation in Interstellar is too severe!

Snake Man: Mainly because Capital Star is a gathering place for nobles and royalty, where every inch of land is precious.

Qi Shu felt he was having too hard a time; he knew the expenses in Capital Star were high, but forty thousand not being enough for a month was too exaggerated.

The day before, he was still in the apocalypse, using his Ability to make zombies farm for him, and today he was already contemplating Interstellar prices.

Three days later, the spaceship finally arrived at the skyport above Capital Star.

Spaceships were densely docked here, and the port channels spread out like a spider web. Qi Shu followed the instructions to take a blimp to District 23.

These days, he learned on the Star Network that in Capital Star, District 23 was the most cost-effective place to rent, close to schools, and had the best public order.

Capital Star was very large, a hundred times the size of Earth, divided into 100 districts.

The land, ocean, and glacier areas on the planet's surface each accounted for about one-third.

Qi Shu sat on the blimp, looking at the vast and expansive land, his heart involuntarily quickening. Facing a new life with a catastrophic start, he was actually a little excited.

"Dear passengers, District 23 is arriving soon. Please take your luggage and belongings to avoid omissions." The smart system on the blimp began to broadcast.

After getting off the blimp, he still needed to take a hovercar to find a house.

Qi Shu checked his body; his Ability had recovered less than one-tenth, but it was barely enough, at least he didn't have to worry about his life safety for a short time.

The Interstellar racial composition was very complex; among the people on the blimp were beast-kin and humans. Qi Shu occasionally used his Ability to probe and found that these people really couldn't see or feel him, which relieved him a lot.

Upon reaching the transfer hall of District 23, Qi Shu used the advanced terminal taxi system and got into an autonomous hovercar in less than fifteen seconds.

He belatedly realized how stable his emotions were, able to remain expressionless up to now.

If his body wasn't so weak, he'd probably be full of energy and want to explore everywhere... Three minutes later, the hovercar dropped him off on the ground at the rental center. It was around three in the afternoon, and the light was quite strong. He sat on the back seat of the rental robot, like riding in a carriage, and went to find a house himself... In the Interstellar era, it was very reasonable for a robot to take him to find a house; Qi Shu didn't even find it surprising.

Qi Shu finally chose a one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, about 40 square meters, very close to an offline supermarket. The rent was 10,000 a month, with a three-month deposit and three months' rent paid in advance.

Qi Shu immediately spent sixty thousand. He only understood where Snake Man said a month wouldn't be enough after a day. He didn't want to eat nutrient solutions anymore and went to the supermarket to buy ingredients. The ingredients were ridiculously expensive; two cucumbers actually cost a thousand star coin??

Thinking about it later, it made sense. There weren't many agricultural planets in the Randall Star Territory that could grow vegetables or raise livestock. Many planets either had poor soil, unsuitable temperatures for planting, or experienced strong winds.

The fact that food could be passed down was truly all thanks to the seed banks that humans had prepared before the great disaster; otherwise, they wouldn't have anything to eat now.

Food could be passed down, but square characters could not, most likely due to the integration of Interstellar society. Now, the Empire, and even the Federation and the Zerg, all used the Interstellar common language, which was simple, easy to understand, not cumbersome, but also very monotonous.

After a trip to the supermarket, buying daily necessities, and seeing one beast-kin fight another beast-kin, Qi Shu left contentedly.

He went home and ate a cucumber raw; it was crisp and sweet, a bit better than nutrient solution, at least it had some satiety.

With a place to stay and after another night's sleep, Qi Shu finally opened the Star Network and logged into the original owner's account.

Sure enough, after he left, Xu Baian started fabricating new stories, saying he ran away from home and eloped with someone.

Qi Shu smiled and @ him: What's the point of studying mecha engineering? Screenwriting suits you very well. Oh, no, it suits your whole family.

Qi Shu, who had never dared to speak out online before, went online and immediately confronted him in front of the entire network.

These ambiguous words left many people room for interpretation. After all, before this, it had always been Xu Baian speaking alone, relying solely on his words. Netizens weren't all fools; some had vaguely sensed something was off.

However, this wasn't over. Qi Shu now had a good signal, time, and energy, so he started scrolling through the posts one by one.

Regarding elopement, Qi Shu @ him and said: "What, your dad wasn't home one night last month, did he go prostitute himself? Speculation? Who can't do that?"

Regarding Xu Baian's passive-aggressive comments about Qi Shu being rejected and abandoned from the engagement, Qi Shu @ him and said: "Yes, he was already having an affair with you before breaking off our engagement. You two are truly a match made in heaven. I am unworthy of a Duke's son, merely an F-rank. Can I be better than a B-rank like you, who climbed up by taking drugs?"

Regarding Qi Shu owing money to the Earls Residence, Qi Shu @ him and said: "The matter of the Earls Residence colluding with a loan company to extort three billion from me, we can only discuss it in court."
