The rent collector became stronger, and he took in a young, energetic woman every day.

"Chen Mo, you tricked me into coming here just to show me this dilapidated house?"

At the entrance of a rather upscale residential area in Wenchuan County, a fashionably dressed woman was shouting at Chen Mo.

She had long, wavy hair, wore a beige trench coat, and high-heeled shoes. A sparkling bracelet dangled from her wrist.

"Are you stupid? Who told you to buy a house in the county town on your own? This place is so poor, how am I supposed to maintain my quality of life in the future?"

As she spoke, she poked Chen Mo's chest with her index finger, her expression full of dissatisfaction.

Chen Mo held the property certificate in his hand and frowned slightly.

"Your family lives here too, so why can't you buy a house here?"

The woman's eyes widened, as if she had heard something absurd.

"It's precisely because my home is here that I want to leave and go to a big city."

She crossed her arms over her chest and held her chin high.

"Now that's happened, how are we supposed to go?"

Chen Mo asked, "So what do you want to do?"

The woman bit her lip angrily, her eyes slightly red, it was hard to tell whether she was genuinely aggrieved or just angry.

"What else can we do? Break up!"

Lin Wan turned around abruptly and said coldly:

"I'm not going to suffer with you in this small town!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she hailed a passing taxi, opened the door, and got in.

The car door slammed shut, and the taxi sped away.

Chen Mo shook his head and smiled, not trying to stop him.

He put the property certificate into the inside pocket of his coat and looked up at the neatly trimmed bushes at the entrance of the residential complex.

He had originally returned from working hard in a big city.

After returning home, I met him through a blind date. At first, I thought his personality was pretty good, so we kept chatting.

I was planning to surprise them by showing them the property certificate today, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

What's so good about big cities?

Involution, high consumption, oppression, and exorbitant housing prices.

Where can you find a comfortable place like a small city?

He worked hard in a first-tier city for ten years and saved more than two million yuan.

After returning to my hometown, a small county town, I bought a large house of 170 square meters not long after.

It has four bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and a small garden of 50 square meters.

Including the renovation, it only cost 1.5 million in total.

The same amount of money wouldn't even buy him a small, old, one-bedroom apartment in the first-tier city where he used to work.

With the remaining money, Chen Mo used 150,000 yuan to buy a car for transportation.

He still has nearly 400,000 left, which is more than enough for him to live comfortably for many years.

Chen Mo stepped onto the street, intending to buy some pork ribs.

There were still some groceries he bought yesterday in the refrigerator, and he planned to make braised pork ribs for lunch to treat himself.

He didn't take Lin Wan's matter too seriously.

I'm almost thirty years old; I'm well past the age of being troubled by love.

If we can get along, great; if not, so be it. Nobody owes anyone anything.

Chen Mo went out onto the street.

Although his hometown is in this county, he went to a big city after graduating from high school and stayed there for ten years. The county has changed so much that he can hardly recognize it anymore.

Most of the old, dilapidated streets have been demolished and replaced by brand-new commercial streets and residential areas.

The streets were bustling with traffic and lined with all kinds of shops, making it many times more lively than it was ten years ago.

He had just stepped out of the community gate and walked a few steps along the sidewalk when a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in his ears.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have bound to the "Get Stronger by Collecting Rent" system.]

Chen Mo was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses.

He tried to silently say "system panel" in his mind, and a semi-transparent interface immediately appeared in front of him.

The interface displays his basic information: Host Chen Mo, age thirty, currently owns a property with three rooms available for rent.

You can earn rewards and cash bonuses simply by taking in tenants.

There is no limit to the rent; even a dollar is acceptable, or even items can be rented.

To help him survive better, the system also gave him two additional passive abilities: immunity to all poisons and an indestructible body.

Invulnerable to all poisons: immune to all toxins, viruses, and bacterial infections, and completely resistant to all kinds of harmful substances.

Indestructible: Overall physical fitness is enhanced, immunity to conventional physical damage is granted, and recovery and endurance are greatly improved.

Chen Mo took a deep breath.

This system is so thoughtful!

But who should we find to rent it?

As he was thinking this, Chen Mo unconsciously turned his gaze to the street not far away.

Three smartly dressed young women were sitting side by side on the curb.

The setting sun shone obliquely from behind them, casting long shadows of them.

On the left, she was wearing a black cropped top with a sparkly belly button piercing, a black pleated skirt, and her pinkish-purple hair was styled into two cute pigtails.

Her legs were thin and straight, wrapped in black stockings, and she wore a pair of black Martin boots.

The one in the middle was wearing white stockings and a loose-fitting tank top, with a few small roses tattooed on her collarbone and shoulders.

Her features are actually quite delicate, with a pointed chin, a high nose bridge, and a pair of almond-shaped, watery eyes.

The one on the right is the most eye-catching.

She was wearing fishnet stockings, through which her fair skin could be seen peeking out from the diamond pattern.

He wore a pair of ripped denim shorts over his clothes, the frayed edges of the shorts reaching mid-thigh.

She was casually scrolling through her phone, the light from the screen reflecting off her face, casting her still-childish features in shifting light and shadow.

The three girls were all quite young, looking no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

They sat together, their style completely out of place on the street.

Passersby would take a second look; some were curious, some were disdainful, and some were filled with malice.

But the three girls were clearly used to the stares, scrolling through their phones, occasionally whispering to each other, and laughing heartily.

Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he saw them.

He was no stranger to this group.

When he was in big cities, he often saw people like this in internet cafes, night markets, and corners of commercial streets.

They are usually young, dress flamboyantly, wear heavy makeup, and like to dye their hair in all sorts of exaggerated colors.

Moreover, he has many negative labels attached to him.

Chen Mo used to keep his distance from these people, since this group was indeed associated with many negative things.

But now...

Everyone says that young, effeminate women are addictive, but they are undeniably young.

Now that he has the indestructible body rewarded by the system, the young female spirit is nothing more than a youth to him.

Most importantly, based on Chen Mo's understanding of this type of girl.

They may have left home for various reasons, fallen out with their parents, or simply been kicked out.

Most of them do not have a proper job, a fixed place to live, or a stable source of income. They wander the streets during the day and spend the night in internet cafes or at friends' houses.

They survive by doing odd jobs, borrowing money, and even more dishonorable means.

They are the most marginalized group of people in the city.

But they are also the group most likely to become tenants.

just,

He has many empty rooms here.

Chen Mo straightened his collar and strode toward the three girls.
