Chapter 29: Federal Coins

Su Jiyai said with uncertainty,

"System I...I lack money currently, could you give me a small loan?"

[No.]

Su Jiyai: "..." So stingy!

Sensing Su Jiyai's mood, the system reminded her.

[Host you can exchange the points for federal coins. The ratio is 1:1.]

"Ah? Really? That is great!" Su Jiyai was overjoyed, "Then let's exchange."

[How many points would you like to exchange, Host?]

Su Jiyai thought for a moment.

She didn't want to exhaust her points, but she needed enough coins to get all the necessary items.

"Let's start with 2000 points."

[2000 points will be exchanged for 2000 Federal Coins. Confirm exchange?]

"Yes, confirm."

[Ding! Exchange successful. 2000 points have been deducted from your balance. You now have 2000 Federal Coins. Remaining points: 97980]

"Okay, now we can start!" Su Jiyai said with a smile and selected the bed.

[Item: Bed. Cost: 250 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]

"Yes," she confirmed.

[Ding! Purchase successful. The item will be delivered to your room shortly.]

Next, she picked a gas stove, a few kitchen utensils, and some basic furniture like a table and chairs.

The interface was user-friendly, and the items were reasonably priced.

[Item: Gas Stove. Cost: 300 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]

[Item: Kitchen Utensils. Cost: 200 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]

[Item: Table and Chairs. Cost: 750 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]

"Yes, yes, and yes," she confirmed each purchase.

Within minutes, the items started appearing in her room, as if by magic.

Though it was out of expectation for these things to magically appear, Su Jiyai wasn't too shocked.

By now Su Jiyai had adapted to the strange surprises a little.

Su Jiyai stood back and admired the now-furnished room. It looked cozy and functional, a perfect place to rest and regroup.

The bathroom and washroom, though looked congested and small, looked modern and beautiful. 

[Ding! Congratulations host for reaching the basic requirement to rent a room. You can now start renting the room.]

Su Jiyai smiled.

Finally!

She walked out of the room and realized that the wall covered the elevator. She pushed gently, and it moved aside, revealing the elevator once more. 

Su Jiyai suddenly asked,

"System could you shift all the furniture to another room? Keep this room for me."

The entrance of the elevator was in that room. If she rented the room, how would she exit the room?

[Sure host, no problem.]

Then within 2 minutes the furniture magically vanished one by one and finally, the room became empty again.

[Room no. 2 has reached the basic requirement. You can now rent the room.]

Su Jiyai smiled and walked out of the room. A long corridor appeared in front of her. After crossing the corridor Su Jiyai saw an empty but clean living room. 

Exiting the house, Su Jiyai saw the orangish glow in the sky. So, it was evening?

Su Jiyai looked at the vast space.

Around her house, there was hardly anything else. Just plain land. 

What made her intrigued was the metallic blue walls that were marking the end of her territory.

"System those blue walls..."

[Host those are electric fence walls. They prevent zombies from entering your territory.]

Su Jiyai asked curiously,

"These walls can protect zombies? Any levels?"

[Yes, host. There is an SSS-Rank electric fence.]

"Oh..." Su Jiyai was truly stunned.

Just now she was wondering why would anyone rent a house in such an isolated place. But now it makes sense. After all, who would not want to live in a place protected from zombies?

Su Jiyai walked back into the house and went to the underground room prepared for her by the system.

[Host, when a room is rented, you can't show your face to the tenants until you reach level 5.]

"Why?" Su Jiyai asked. By now she understood that whatever demands the system made was for her own good.

[Host, you don't know how black human's heart had become in the apocalypse. You are very weak now, it is better if you work hard and increase your power and then make an appearance.]

"Oh." Su Jiyai nodded.

She somewhat understood the system's concern. A poor person's biggest mistake is having treasure they can't protect.

[Host, it is time for dinner. Do you want me to make dinner for you?]

"Sure."

[Okay host! 20 points deducted. Remaining points: 99760]

After dinner, Su Jiyai did some stretching and asked,

"Have I awakened any superpower?"
