Bab 33: The House.
Isaac arrived in one of the largest buildings in the Outer Layer.
It was a tall five-floor building, with NPCs and players entering and leaving the building constantly, making it an obvious hotspot.
It was definitely the most crowded building in the entirety of Stronglord.
On the balcony of the fifth floor, individuals with expensive-looking dresses and suits were seen drinking tea and talking with smiles on their attractive faces.
NPCs and Players looked at them with clear envy.
Only the wealthy could even dream of entering the fifth floor.
Isaac entered the building.
Seeing 10 desks with beautiful women sitting while NPCs and Players were lining up, he entered the shortest line and started waiting.
'I hope 2300 White Coins is enough to rent a room...' Isaac thought.
Even if it doesn't look like it, buying houses and rooms are extremely important.
Your own house can be your own safe house, and no one can enter it without your permission. But, Guards are allowed to enter if needed.
There is also limited Inventory space— it is good to have your own room to store your items if your Inventory is getting too full.
Also, your Stamina will recover 100% faster in your own room or house.
You can also rent your own house if you want— that way Players can earn White Coins without even going to hunt monsters and wild animals.
Most Companies think that renting houses will be the easiest way to have a stable income.
Especially when more players enter Starting City, and houses are getting scarce.
Isaac wanted his own room to have his own spawn spot.
He doesn't want to log out somewhere random, where Players can ambush if they saw him log out.
And, he doesn't want to travel all the way to his room before logging out.
Having your own room is very handy.
Soon the line ended, and it was Isaac's turn.
He sat down on the chair.
The beautiful woman in front of him frowned.
She was amazed after seeing the individual's beautiful face, but then she saw Isaac's dirty hair.
'Does she even have money to rent a room?' The beautiful woman thought with annoyance.
She has got a lot of Players who didn't have enough money, and they did nothing except waste her time.
''Hello, what is your business with us?'' She asked with a professional smile.
''Rent a room,'' Isaac said.
The woman resisted facepalming— her mouth twitched, she nodded.
She was so angry that she didn't even notice that Isaac was a boy!
''Here.'' The woman showed pictures of different rooms with price tags.
Isaac looked at them and widened his eyes in shock.
The woman noticed his facial expressions changing— she sighed and asked, ''Which one will you choose?''
She was certain that this beautiful individual didn't have money to pay for any of these rooms.
Isaac took one picture and showed her the picture, ''This one.''
The woman looked shocked.
The room was simple with a small bathroom, own bedroom, and balcony. It would be nothing special for Isaac, who has lived in a mansion all his life, but for Stronglord, that room is excellent.
There was also a price tag.
[500 White Coins - Per Week]
It is expensive, but Isaac is confident that he can earn that much money with one hunting trip.
''A-Are you sure you have that kind of money?'' The woman asked with a twitching eyebrow.
She didn't know if Isaac was pulling her leg or what.
Isaac nodded and took 500 White Coins and put them on the desk.
The woman was once again shocked.
''I-I-I see, I-I will give you papers.'' She shakily took a pair of papers and gave them to Isaac.
Isaac looked at the papers and quickly signed them and gave one of them back, but kept another one.
She took the paper and gave me a pair of keys.
She still looked dumbfounded.
Isaac nodded and stood up, leaving the City Hall immediately.
Even after the next individual sat in front of her, she didn't move, still dumbfounded.
She doesn't even have enough money to live in that room!
Maybe for a month or so, but then her money reserves would be gone!
Isaac happily walked in the streets. He was satisfied that the rooms weren't that expensive.
He entered one neighborhood with stone fences and one pair of gates with a pair of Guards.
The Guards saw a poor-looking individual approaching.
They frowned— Isaac looked like someone belonging to the Slums.
Isaac appeared in front of them and showed them a paper.
One of the Guards looked at the paper and looked shocked.
This was not some cheap neighborhood where everyone can live!
But, apparently, this poor-looking individual had enough money to buy a rented room here!
The Guards opened the gates and let Isaac in.
Even if they felt doubtful about this individual, it is not their job to question if the paper is real or not.
If they offend someone they shouldn't, they and their Captain would lose their heads.
The neighborhood was filled with three-floor buildings, couples happily walking on the streets, and some even had children.
Isaac also saw a few Players, but he ignored them and entered the yard of the house, where his rented room is located.
It was another three-floor building with a front yard with a wooden fence surrounding it.
Someone in that residence has put four rooms on rent, and Isaac got one of them.
*Knock* *Knock*
Isaac knocked on the door a few times and heard some noise coming from the house.
The door was soon opened.
Isaac saw a young woman in her 18s with messy black hair which reached all the way to her waist. She looked quite attractive, but her face looked tired, and if she had put on some make-up, then she would definitely be a very beautiful individual.
Isaac looked at her nametag.
[Bella]
''Hmm, who are you?'' Bella asked with a tired look— she rubbed her eyes and opened her bright blue eyes.
She saw a dirty-looking individual— at first, she thought that Isaac was a beggar, but then she saw him holding a paper.
Isaac smiled and gave her the paper, which widened her eyes, ''You rented the room?!''
Isaac nodded and bowed, ''Let's get along.''
''A-Ah, yes!'' Bella said and stepped aside.
Isaac entered the house and saw stairways leading to the second floor not far from him.
He looked towards the left and saw the living room, and the kitchen was located on the right side.
There were two tables, one in the living room and one in the kitchen.
There were also multiple windows in the living room, which made the house quite bright.
Isaac looked towards the second floor and saw multiple rooms with numbers on the doors.
This will be where he lives for quite a long time.
Bab 34: Chef.
''Well, this is the house. Did the person in the City Hall give you the keys?'' Bella asked.
Isaac nodded and showed a pair of keys.
Bella nodded, ''One of them is for this house, and the second one is for your room.'' She looked at the key more closely and nodded, ''Your room is on the third floor, with number 5.''
Isaac nodded, he looked at his own clothing, and he could feel his dirty hair sticking to his skin.
''I will go take a shower,'' Isaac said and walked towards the second floor.
Bella nodded and shouted, ''You are the first to have rented a room— I will cook something for celebration!''
Isaac looked at her and smiled, looking forward to what she would cook up.
He went to the third floor and saw a door with number 5, put the key on the keyhole and twisted it.
*Creak*
The door opened, and the room became visible, iIt looked similar to the one in the picture.
Entering the room, he saw a small living space with two doors.
The first door is the bathroom, and the second is the bedroom.
But the smallest room was completely empty, but there was also one glass door that led to the balcony.
Isaac entered the bathroom and saw a bathtub and shower, then pressed a few buttons in front of him turning the shower on.
Isaac looked at his smooth skin, and it still looked as skinny as in real life.
'What was I expecting? Of course, my body wouldn't change after putting in a few stats... So dumb.' Isaac thought and started showering.
He felt slightly disappointed that the stat points didn't affect his physical appearance, he likes to build more muscle after all, but he has never succeeded in doing that.
Half an hour later.
Isaac got rid of the last dirt in his hair.
He wiped his body and put his newbie clothing on, which consisted of a simple white shirt and brown leather pants.
He grabbed his pair of keys and stuffed them into his pockets.
After that, he left the room and went straight towards the kitchen where a mouthwatering smell came from.
'She is a great cook!' Isaac thought with amazement. He entered the kitchen and saw Bella moving in the kitchen like she was dancing.
She did everything perfectly, and the food she was making was already rivaling top chefs.
''Oh, you are done showering,'' Bella said and turned around.
She was holding a knife, but after turning around, she dropped it to the ground in pure shock.
She was stiff like a statue.
''Are you alright?'' Isaac asked and looked at the knife, which was only 1 cm away from stabbing through her feet.
Bella turned around— she quickly took a towel from the kitchen desk and started walking out of the kitchen while hiding her face.
''I-I will be back soon!'' She ran towards the third floor, where her room was also located.
Isaac looked strangely at her.
But soon, he heard a door slamming shut on the third floor.
Isaac shrugged and went to look at what she was making.
''Chicken...''
He had also had cooking lessons taught by his mother— he moved the chicken around so that it wouldn't be burnt.
He didn't know what Bella planned to do with the chicken— that's why he waited.
10 minutes later, Bella left her room and returned to the kitchen.
Isaac looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
She didn't have her messy hair or her tired look anymore. She put her black hair in a ponytail, and she had slight make-up on her face. She looked absolutely stunning— she shyly smiled and said, ''Sorry, I will take it from here.''
Isaac nodded and stepped aside.
He sat down on the chair while looking at Bella, who was cooking.
Isaac opened the Interface and looked at the time.
It was closing at 7 P.M.
He had surprisingly done a lot of stuff today.
He left the Village, fought against the Assassin, talked with Hellsky and the others, entered the Solo Dungeon, then the stuff with Loki and Kornelius.
Then he even entered Stronglord, got new weapons and armor, got banned from the Merchant Store, did a shameless deed of begging for White Coins, killed three thieves, and finally got a room.
After eating, he planned to log out from the game and take one deserved break.
He still hds to think about which Skill to choose tonight though.
He hoped that the forums would have something worthwhile.
''Done!'' Bella said cheerfully.
She grabbed two plates and put two pieces of chicken and vegetables on them.
She gave one plate to Isaac and sat in front of him.
Bella smiled shyly and said, ''I hope it fits your tastes.''
Isaac grabbed a wooden fork and took the first bite of the chicken.
His eyes widened in shock.
''This is great!'' Isaac said with amazement.
Bella clenched her tiny fist in celebration.
Isaac thought that it was amazing that Bella could make something this tasty without good spices.
[Vitality Increased by 1!]
*Cough*
Isaac started coughing heavily.
''Are you alright?!'' Bella shouted with shock— she went next to Isaac and patted his back.
Isaac innocently smiled and waved his hand, ''I am fine...''
Bella still looked at him with worry, but she sat down on her chair and kept taking sneaky glances at him.
Isaac wiped his sweat, 'Stats can be increased without Stat Points?!'
But that was not the most shocking part.
The part that eating food increased the Vitality.
But what Isaac didn't know was that it is usually less than a 1% chance of happening.
But with Bella and her excellent cooking, the chance was 2%.
World of White's Best Chefs can only make food with a 5% chance.
That's why Unique Support Class Chef is in relatively high demand in the future.
Especially when real Chefs will enter the game, trying to achieve the Chef Class.
Isaac in some sense, achieved a jackpot.
Bella saw him enjoying the food.
She smiled and felt almost proud.
Isaac had the most beautiful smile she had ever seen— to see that smile again, she planned to improve her cooking to a whole new level!
Isaac soon emptied the plate, and he felt disappointed.
It was incredibly delicious, but messages popped up saying that he was full and eating more might be harmful.
Isaac walked towards the sink and started cleaning the plates.
He still thought that it was strange for this world to have 200 years old buildings but futuristic cleaning equipment, like sinks, bathtubs, etc.
There were also pipes going under the city, which were used for toilets, and to transfer water to the houses.
''You don't need to do that.'' Bella appeared next to him and said gently.
Isaac smiled, ''I can do this much, at least.''
Bella pouted and washed her plate.
Isaac soon finished washing his plate, and he put it on the cabinet.
He looked at Bella and said, ''Food was delicious, thanks.''
Bella tried to hide a massive smile from forming on her face— she nodded and said, ''No problem...''
''See you tomorrow.''
Isaac left the kitchen and went back to his room.
He entered the bedroom and sat on the bed.
A message popped up in front of him instantly.
[Spawn Spot Located!]
[Do you want this to be your Spawn Spot?]
[Yes/No]
Isaac pressed Yes, and soon the bed glowed in green until the glow disappeared.
Isaac opened the Interface.
He looked outside the window towards the beautiful city one last time.
After that,
Isaac pressed [Log Out]
Leaving the World of White once again.
