Chapter 737: Chapter 85: Welfare Housing and Allocated Fields (Part 2)
"Don’t worry, I don’t need to be caged like a lab rat. I just need to go to South Campus once a month for a blood test and organize my daily routine. Then, just send it online to Shakespeare every week," Zhang Yiyi boasted proudly. It’s a lazy method for her, and blood drawing isn’t a big deal since she’s always been well-nourished; it’s like donating blood anyway.
If she didn’t take up this kind of campus job, and since she can’t farm, she’d have to help out at the Spiritual Beast Garden. She inquired that the job in Zone B’s Spiritual Beast Garden was tough, involving cleaning up animal excrement and getting on good terms with the animals, which isn’t Zhang Yiyi’s forte.
"Just be cautious yourself. After all, your physique is quite special. Before sending the data, let Xuerou check it first. If there are no issues, then send it," Xiao Xian and Xuerou both knew that Yiyi’s physical mutation was based on the colorful gecko from Monk Tianya, and her immunity to all poisons would be absolutely precious for modern medicine.
"Don’t worry, I won’t record the important data," Zhang Yiyi reassured again and again.
Three days after returning to North Campus, Romeo One showed up.
It also brought a detailed map of the new apartment’s location.
The three of them rushed to the new apartment below on the same day. This new apartment was located in the eastern part of North Campus, right by the edge of the few remaining desert preservation belts in Zone C, and was also very close to Farmer Spring.
When rebuilding Zone C, as per the request of Romeo One, Xiao Xian retained about thirty percent of the desert area, rationalized by the campus officials as protecting the climate diversity of the garden area.
"Wow, just a few of us living in such an apartment? I feel like I’ve gone from a beggar to an emperor," Yiyi couldn’t wait and swiped the magnetic card to open the door, rushing into the new apartment.
The stair from the first floor to the second was directly set inside the apartment. Xiao Xian and the others requested 180 square meters, and Romeo One provided a duplex covering two floors, making each floor 90 square meters, adhering to a loft-style architecture, effectively making it 180 square meters.
There wasn’t any smell of paint inside the new apartment, the wall color was off-white, and three computers were placed in the hall on the first floor.
The kitchen and one bathroom were set on the first floor, along with three bedrooms and another bathroom on the second floor. Additionally, there was a 20 square meter balcony isolated on the second floor. From the balcony, one could see Farmer Spring, which had expanded due to recent rainfalls, offering a first-rate view in Zone C.
With such distribution, Xiao Xian and Xuerou had no objections. What was left was organizing the apartment and moving goods out of the old apartment.
Moving took two whole days. The three of them had their Heaven Cards undergo another major shake-up. After repeatedly crying poor, Yiyi exploited Xiao Xian, who held a high Heaven-defying Value, to get a bed and a full set of bedding. Xuerou then, using her status as an internal employee of the supply center, purchased suitable furniture from Romeo One at a 30% discount.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Xian suggested celebrating their new housewarming by holding a "Moving House Celebration Banquet" on the rooftop.
The 20-plus square meter balcony was also fully utilized by Xiao Xian, who got cucumber seeds from Yu Gang and planted them. They also placed a garden table, and later on, they planned to buy a set of swing chairs.
On the day of the celebration banquet, Xuerou asked if they should invite guests. In North Campus, besides interacting with robots, the only person they knew was Wang Shuai.
"No need, inviting others might lead to misunderstandings," when Zhang Yiyi was silent, Xiao Xian spoke up to negate the idea.
With the moon overhead, the temperature was also quite comfortable.
The three sat on the balcony, with a table filled with vegetables for hotpot, including a packet of mutton and specially sliced fish fillets.
Xuerou served the other two some juice, contemplating, "I now feel, coming to Huake Institute for studies was absolutely the right choice."
"Totally, at Sacred Heart Middle School, I had to worry about exam scores every day, and being called by the teacher to answer questions during class," Zhang Yiyi boldly gulped down a whole cup of Coke, scorning the miserable middle school life.
"You’re really unambitious, seeing only these benefits," Xiao Xian teased, throwing a fish fillet into the hotpot.
"That’s also true, have you guys ever been curious about how North Campus came to be?" Xuerou picked up a piece of green vegetable, steam still rising from the tip of her chopsticks.
Xiao Xian and Yiyi looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders; neither were the astute students to probe deeply.
"In this world, many phenomena are beyond scientific explanation," Xiao Xian thought, with Cultivators and Superpower Users already unexplainable.
"I’ve been inside Romeo One’s center many times for maintenance and noticed an interesting phenomenon, the robots within the campus do not have any power source, yet that doesn’t hinder their daily operations," Xuerou had mentioned this before.
"Maybe they run on solar power, that thing is popular now, like solar water heaters, solar power stations, and the like," Yiyi joked, thinking of the construction of robots gave her a headache.
"Just eat your vegetables; all day long you only think of impractical things, where’s there solar power that can be directly installed into such tiny bodies? If I had a chance to fully inspect the construction of Romeo and its kind," Xuerou said, then stood up, pacing back and forth on the balcony.
"Robots aren’t that easy to deal with, you think everyone’s like me, generously available for research," Yiyi seized the opportunity to snatch a piece of lamb from Xuerou’s bowl.
Xuerou stopped in her tracks, her eyes resting on the distant Farmer Spring. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Qidian () to cast a recommendation ticket and monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
