Chapter 28 Selling a House, Selling a Job

Looking at the job opening in her hand, Bai Nuo chuckled, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Host, do we want this job?"

The system was also a bit confused. What was going on?

"Why not take it if it's free? Didn't you say that jobs these days are all one-person-one-job? It's practically handed to us for free, only a fool wouldn't take it. And it should be worth a good amount of money, right?"

"The host is going to sell?"

"Okay!" Bai Nuo nodded, unlocking the door and going inside, saying, "There are two groups of people watching me now. One group wants me to stay in Shanghai, and the other wants me to go to the countryside. Although I'm not sure if my maternal grandmother's relatives are among them, I think going to the countryside is the most advantageous option for me."

The Northeast isn't close to either Beijing or Shanghai. It's far from the capital, and in the countryside, whoever wants to do something, I can make sure they never return. Wild animals roam the mountains; I can kill one or two and throw them deep into the mountains, and who would know it was me?

“That makes sense.” The system nodded quickly. At this moment, it stopped trying to persuade its host about laws and society. As long as it wasn’t caught and put in a cage to eat free food, it would help its host destroy the evidence.

After all, it's a system machine produced from another dimension. In its program, only its own host is the most important. As for the others... whether they're alive or dead, what does it have to do with it? Only an idiot would talk about human ethics with a machine.

Looking at it this way, this job... isn't it just money handed to you for free?

The more idiots like this, the better!

The decision to unify the world was made so happily. Bai Nuo raised an eyebrow as he looked at the pile of things on the living room floor, feeling... he could start convincing the leader again.

"A-Tong, are you particularly afraid that I'll get arrested and forced to eat free meals?"

"That doesn't taste good!" the system yelled, afraid that its host would cause some trouble again.

"Of course I know it doesn't taste good, but these days it's illegal to buy and sell things privately. But if these things are lost, it'll be a waste. It's not easy for our family to save money. I need to save money to give you a makeover so you can be the most handsome guy in the world, right?"

"Yes, yes, right!"

"Right? And look, I'm small and my face is very distinctive. If I go out carrying several big bags of stuff, won't it be easy for the neighbors to spot me?"

The system sat cross-legged in the system space with a blank face and no expression.

"Just tell me what you want!"

"Why don't you rent out humanoid robots for another hour or two and sell these things? Humanoid robots are fast. Even if they get caught, they can automatically transform and escape when people aren't looking. It's much safer than me going, right?"

"But……"

"But what? Right now, I'm not as important to you as your points, am I?"

Bai Nuo started acting unreasonably.

"Just tell me who's more important. If I and Ji Fen fell into the water, would you save Ji Fen and ignore me? If that's the case, what's the point of me being alive? I'm going to..."

"I'll rent it, so shut up and don't say anything. You still have points to keep."

Half a minute later, Bai Nuo went out again, found a secluded spot near the family compound, and took out the large bags. Then, a tall, muscular man with a fierce look appeared out of nowhere beside her, expressionlessly carrying the large bags and turning to leave.

The system created a clone program to follow and control the humanoid robot at all times, in case anything goes wrong.

Not having to do any work herself, Bai Nuo happily went home, waiting for the humanoid to return with the money.

Around 1 p.m., there was a knock on the door, and a female police officer rushed up to the door with a middle-aged woman.

"Hello, Sister A-Chong and Auntie, please come in." Bai Nuo smiled sweetly and gently, stepping aside to let them in.

"Is everything packed up?" Rushing upstairs, they saw that the empty living room only had a few pieces of furniture left. Except for one room with its door closed, the other two rooms had their doors open and were also empty with only furniture inside.

"Well, Grandma Ma took Cousin Ma back to her hometown, and they didn't leave anything behind. I only have four days left before I have to go to the countryside, so I'd better pack up early so I won't be too busy later." Bai Nuo led the two of them to sit down at the dining table in the living room, and then said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, there's nothing in the house right now. I just bought the kettle this morning."

“It’s alright, don’t be so polite, little girl. I’m your sister A-Chong’s second aunt, just call me that too. We’ve just come to look at the house. Your eldest brother, who is also my eldest son, is getting married soon. The house the factory assigned us was too small. I heard from your sister A-Chong that your house is big, so I thought I’d come and take a look. If it’s suitable, we can change it.”

These days, private sales are prohibited, so basically no one dares to leave any room for gossip. Saying it's an exchange is actually a purchase. If it goes through, when you go to the housing management office, just say you have a good relationship and are transferring the house to avoid being caught red-handed.

"Second Aunt, I understand. Don't worry, feel free to look around here. These pieces of furniture were all bought by my family back then, and we've only used them for two or three years. If you like them, just contribute a little bit, and we'll include it with the house."

"That's wonderful!" The second aunt's smile became even more genuine as she rushed forward.

When she first entered the room, she took a look at the furniture. It was all solid wood furniture from a furniture store. Buying it would cost more than just money; even furniture vouchers would be a lot of money. These days, vouchers are rarer than money. There are only a few furniture vouchers a year, not even enough to replace the furniture in the living room. It was only right to spend more money.

And it looks quite new, without any repairs.

Speaking of which, Bai Nuo really wants to thank the Ma family.

Those shameless people in their family have always treated this house as their own, using it with great care for both the house and the furniture. They've lived here for over two and a half years, and the furniture hasn't even had a scratch or chipped paint.

Moreover, the kitchen of this house is indoors, unlike the tenement buildings where you can only light a coal stove at the door. The only problem is that the toilet and washroom are shared, but that's not a big deal. Nowadays, unless you build your own detached house, these things are all shared.

"My dear, are you really going to pay for this house?"

The woman walked around the house twice and was more and more satisfied. The house was big and the furniture was all ready. When the time came, she would give the small room that the factory had allocated to them to her eldest son for his wedding, and the rest of her family could move here to live. They wouldn't even need to make a partition in the living room to fit them all.

"I really have to give it up. Although I'm reluctant, I'm about to go to the countryside and I don't even know if I'll be able to come back. Right now, let alone the house, I also have a job quota in hand, so I have to give it up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with after I go to the countryside."

Bai Nuo sighed helplessly and reluctantly, looking like she was forced into a corner, which made even women who had become mothers long ago feel heartbroken.

but……

"You still have a job opening available?"
