章 16: There Will Be a Day That the Name Jun Ci Will Shake the Entire World!
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
The old grandmother brought Jun Ci inside.
It just so happened that they encountered an old man with a pair of presbyopic glasses and a grey gown coming out.
He had a piece of paper in hand.
The old grandmother anxiously spoke up, "Aiya, old man, you don't have to paste that anymore. This child wants to rent the room."
"Ah?"
The old man was slightly confused. He held onto his glasses and looked at Jun Ci.
He did not reveal any curiosity despite seeing Jun Ci's mask and merely asked, "Young child, you want to rent the room?"
Jun Ci nodded her head as her mouth curved into a smile behind her mask. "Yes, grandfather."
"Oh oh oh, let this old man tell you this first, the monthly rent is 300 dollars and you have to pay for your own water and electricity. You can take a look at the room first."
The elderly couple were amiable and nice, and did not cheat Jun Ci.
Their conditions were as Gu Lu had mentioned.
"Alright, grandfather, grandmother, I'll go in and take a look."
"Alright, over here."
The old lady led Jun Ci in.
The small courtyard was built in a similar fashion to a courtyard house.
The old granny brought Jun Ci to a small room on the right side.
Upon opening the door, they were able to see the entire room.
It was truly small to the extent that it stifled Jun Ci's heart.
And somewhat falling apart.
Fortunately, she could endure it.
Aside from that, the room was very clean.
It even had a sofa bed and basic necessities.
"All of this old furniture belongs to us. If you don't mind, you can go ahead and use it. It's free."
The old granny spoke generously.
Jun Ci nodded her head without even sparing a look, "Thank you grandmother, but there's no need to see any further. I'll rent this."
Gu Lu had searched the entire room and had found no possible anomalies.
In the end, Jun Ci learned that the old couple's last names were Chang. Grandfather and Grandmother Chang had been staying here for a few decades.
They were old locals.
She reckoned that she would stay for at most three months till the college exams, then move into the campus dorms.
She gave a brief account of her situation to the old grandmother. It was so miserable that it moved her to tears.
The old grandmother wiped away her tears and agreed to Jun Ci paying one month's rent in advance. She had initially wanted to cut it by half.
Jun Ci did not agree to it.
Gu Lu had instructed Jun Ci on what to say. As the crown prince, she would never have made her sad past known.
If it were not for Gu Lu mentioning that people were bound to fall...
She would never have yielded!
But halving the rent was too much.
It was cheap enough, and Jun Ci did not want to feel guilty.
Although she did not have a good first impression of this world, her heart had gradually accepted it because of the old couple.
On that night, she spent another 500 dollars under Gu Lu's lead to order a bed, bedsheets, and other objects of value.
It was already maximizing their money.
Her money had been halved in just one night. Jun Ci was immediately in a daze.
Her attempt to seize the throne that had resulted in her own death and falling to this era to such a miserable life, was it worth it?
But her eyes immediately gleamed with a brilliance of light.
It was worth it, what's not worth about it.
It was impossible for a living person to live freely and crazily, but come back with a clean slate.
And she could not even try to further tarnish the present Jun Ci's name.
What was there to be sad about?
If one did not climb from bottom-up, how could one experience the pleasures of life?
Just wait, there will be a day that the name Jun Ci is as intimidating as the interstellar empire.
And shake the entire world!
