They drove to the experimental field and swiped their ID cards to take on the last day’s work. Two hours later, they received the certificate from the old man and went to the place he mentioned to upgrade their identity cards. After the upgrade, they would become permanent residents of the fourth base. If they did not have permanent identity cards, did that mean they could not stay in the base? Actually, it was possible. After all, whether it was in the past or now, there would always be illegal ways.

However, every three days, there would be security guards patrolling the fourth base with a card reader, or they would go door-to-door. They might just randomly pick someone on the road for a spot check. If they were found to have no ID card, there were only two options—do double the work or be expelled from the base.

People who had been expelled from the base would have their names on records. The next time they came to the base, they would have to work for 12 days. If they stayed illegally again, their working days would continue to double. Due to this rule, most people would not play any tricks. Who would be willing to do something that could be solved in three days? After upgrading their identity cards, the three of them drove to the new development zone again. Before they got out of the car, each of them carried a small wooden box in their hands. The three wooden boxes were filled with gold, which added up to a total of 25 catties.

As soon as they walked into the housing management center, Du Yue saw the female staff member who had received them yesterday. The staff member quickly noticed their arrival and smiled at Du Yue. Du Yue and the other two walked over together. She greeted them very familiarly. “I’ve specially saved the house for you guys! We were waiting for you!”

Du Yue’s lips twitched. It had only been a day. How could it be so easy to sell such an expensive villa?

Although she knew it, Du Yue was not interested in exposing her. After all, she only wanted to buy the villa, not quarrel.

“Can you show us the house first?” Du Yue asked.

“Of course, no problem. We can go now!” The staff member stood up from the counter and led Du Yue and the other two out of the building management center. After walking out of the management center, she brought Du Yue and the other two onto a four-wheeled cart.

After visiting four official bases, Du Yue found that these bases did not lack electricity. Therefore, other than bicycles, the most common things in the base were all kinds of two-wheeled, three-wheeled, and four-wheeled carts. There were also people who drove petrol cars, but Du Yue had only met a few of them.

After driving for more than ten minutes, they arrived at the villa area. They had not seen any houses yet, but from the outside, one could tell that the environment in the villa area was much better than in the ordinary residential area. As there were not many residents, it was even quieter here. “This wall is three and a half meters tall, and there are sharp iron tips on it to prevent people from climbing in. Look at this door. It’s thick and sturdy. It’s much safer than ordinary doors!”

Du Yue smiled as she listened to the staff member’s introduction. As expected, the environment and the public’s needs were different. Even the words used to sell the house had changed. As the staff member spoke, she opened the big lock hanging on the door. “Even if someone uses a chainsaw, they might not be able to open this lock. You can rest assured about your safety here!”

The few of them entered through the main door and saw the small courtyard of the villa. The courtyard was not large, about 30 square meters. The villa occupied an area of 160 square meters, with a total of two and a half floors. There were two floors above ground and a basement that was more than 70 square meters underground. The house had undergone simple renovations. The walls were painted white. Although they looked a little rough, they looked better than the exposed bricks. There was running water in the villa, and there was also a flushing toilet in the bathroom. Other than the doors and windows, there was only one light on the ceiling of each room. There was no other furniture or electrical appliances.

That was all to the house. The staff member smiled at the three of them. “You guys have good taste. Houses like this are very popular now. If it weren’t for the fact that the new district has just been completed, you wouldn’t be able to buy such a house in a few days!”

Du Yue really liked this house. After going through four bases and a few temporary stops, she knew that the condition of this house was quite good. Since she liked it, Du Yue did not want to waste time and directly booked this house. When they returned to the housing management center to settle the procedures, He Xing was the only one who followed the staff member back..
