"Sell books, sell books."

"Vegetables, fresh vegetables, do you need them? 10 points per catty, very cheap, very cheap."

"The Starry Night Bar is hiring, from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am..."

The elevator door opened slowly, and a burst of loud cries entered the ears.

The basement is densely packed with people, some people set up tents, some people spread mats, and there are small vendors in the opposite corner shouting hard, but no one patronizes.

Observe carefully, everyone is holding their backpacks and supplies tightly, guarding against others, but they are not very nervous.

Glancing around, Jiang Ran walked to an empty corner and sat down, took out his phone and checked the time.

It's already mid-June, and the extreme high temperature should be over in a while, and then the horrors of the end times will truly be revealed, and a new round of more terrifying natural disasters will follow.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran took out a box of cold noodles from his backpack and ate them slowly. The aroma made people around him sniff.

Although many people were salivating and their eyes were glowing green, no one came forward to make trouble, which surprised her a little.

After eating the cold noodles, Jiang Ran sat down against the corner and began to practice. She had to strive to advance before the high temperature ended.

After a while, several young people came over.

"Sister, are you a new tenant? I belong to the community safety management committee. If you stay in the basement for a long time, you have to pay a safety management fee."

"what?"

Jiang Ran looked at the young man in surprise. He was wearing a red uniform jacket with sleeves on his arms. He looked decent, but the reason for charging was really outrageous.

Jiang Ran asked: "Is this your regulation or the regulation of the safe zone? You didn't tell me about this when you rented the house."

Obviously, this is not the first time the young man has encountered such a situation, and he said with ease: "Of course it is the regulations of the safety zone. After all, our community is so safe. You have seen what happens in the basements of other communities. Anything can happen there."

Jiang Ran looked at a few young people, and continued to ask: "So as long as I pay the fee, I can sleep peacefully without being disturbed, and I won't be stolen?"

"of course."

"How many?"

Seeing Jiang Ran asking about the price, the young man thought she had to pay, and said with a smile, "1 point for two days, 3 points for a week, and 10 points for a month."

Jiang Ran stood up from the ground, and the young man hurriedly asked with a smile, "Which package do you plan to buy, I recommend the monthly package more, and it will cost you a few points."

Jiang Ran said lightly: "No money."

"???"

The young man looked at Jiang Ran in confusion, looked up and down, saw the white bracelet on her wrist, and said affirmatively: "Impossible, you can afford such a good house, how can you not pay the security fee."

He looked at Jiang Ran seriously, "I know you are a tasker, and I know you must be very good, but I want to tell you, this is the fee specified by our security zone."

"If you refuse to pay, we will report to the Street Safety Management Committee. Even if you are a tasker, you have no privileges."

Others hastened to agree.

"Correct."

"Taskers can't be special, why don't you hand in everyone's hand?"

……

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, as if he was a villain, Jiang Ran glanced around, looked at a kind-hearted old man and asked, "Is what they said true?"

Not only the old man nodded, but other people around him also nodded.

Someone persuaded: "Girl, let's pay the fee. Our community is indeed safer than other communities. You just moved here, so you should know what's going on in other communities."

"Buying men and women, bullying the weak with the strong, stealing and abducting...these are endless, we are here because of safety."

Another family nearby said: "We can't afford the houses here, so we live in the basement, and pay 10 points for security and 5 points for cleaning every month."

"You came in through your relationship? We can't just pay a fee to enter our community."

The family nodded.

The young man looked at Jiang Ran, "Look, I didn't lie to you, this is a prescribed fee, and every household has to pay it."

Jiang Ran spread his hands and said: "I really have no money, all the points are rented, and the staff didn't tell me that there is such a fee, and they didn't reserve extra points. By the way, I was given 10 points for electricity when I rented the house. Did you deduct my electricity bill?"

young people:"……"

There are people around watching the excitement, and it is not a big deal, so they start to make sarcastic remarks.

"The reason is so strange. The power company and the safety committee are not the same company. Where can he deduct it for you?"

"You can't do this even if you are stingy, it's really weird."

"She ate a bowl of cold noodles just now. Those things are not cheap. A bowl costs ten or twenty points."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you have money to eat noodles, but you don't have money to pay security fees."

"Haven't you heard of it? The richer people are, the more stingy they are, and the less they want to spend money, prostitution is the happiest."

……

Jiang Ran pursed her lips, and looked at the people complaining unhappily, "Why do you have nothing to do when you are full all day, and you can't find any value except to gossip about others? If this is the case, go back to the furnace for further studies."

Hearing from the people around him, Jiang Ran just ate a bowl of cold noodles, the young man looked around Jiang Ran, and sure enough, he saw the cold noodle box on the ground, feeling envious in his heart.

Rich man!

To be able to afford such a luxury, with so many points, isn't it delicious to exchange ten or twenty catties of food?
At this moment, the young man was a little uncertain whether the new tenant really had no points or fake points, so he thought for a while and said, "If you don't have points, you can exchange them with food of the same value."

"What's worth 10 points?"

Jiang Ran rummaged through his backpack. There were some milk biscuits, candies and chocolates in it. These were collected on the way here. Due to the high temperature, the taste may change a little, but they are still edible.

"That's a lot. Generally, a large piece of chocolate can be exchanged for 10 points, 10 catties of white rice is 10 points, 7 catties of white flour is 10 points, and two boxes of milk are also 10 points..."

The young man was counting, Jiang Ran took out two boxes of pure milk from his backpack and stuffed them into the young man's hand, "It's clear."

"Eh, okay."

Seeing the two boxes of milk in his hand, the young man was immediately overjoyed. Although the official exchange rate is similar, food is actually more valuable than points.

Moreover, the backpack is bulging, and it looks like it contains a lot of supplies. This is a big money, and he is worthy of being a tasker.

Jiang Ran's arrogance surprised everyone, and many people knelt and licked to help her find her place again, trying to get acquainted.

"Some people slapped their faces?"

"He is a tasker, how could he be short of such supplies, it just happens that he has no points, and he said he is stingy."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder if some people's faces hurt?"
