"The delivery has arrived! Please accept the delivery! "
Early in the morning, Lin Huang heard knocking on the door and a somewhat ear-piercing scream.
When he opened the door, he saw a palm-sized yellow bird standing at the door. It was the bird that had made the sound.
This yellow bird was called the Thousand Tongue Bird. It was said that it could learn up to a thousand languages. Its intelligence was equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child. After learning the human language, it could carry out logical and normal conversations with humans.
After humans domesticated this bird, the main reason for using it as a courier was not because of this, but because it also had a spatial storage ability. Each of its feathers hid a storage space, and the largest one could store an item of one cubic meter.
When the Thousand Tongue Bird saw the door open, it raised its head and looked at Lin Huang. "Good morning, Mr. Lin Huang. Your delivery has arrived. Please sign for it! "
As soon as it finished speaking, the Thousand Tongue Bird flapped its wings twice, and a few packages fell from its body. Some of the packages were more than a few times bigger than its body.
With a shake of its head, a receipt appeared in its beak. It flew to Lin Huang's shoulder and handed the receipt to him.
On the receipt, the details of the delivery were listed. Lin Huang glanced at it and signed his name, leaving the receipt. As he handed the receipt back, he grabbed a handful of candy from the small bowl by the door and handed it over.
"It's all yours."
In this world, many monsters liked sweets. Candy was the Thousand Tongue Bird's favorite. Most families would prepare a few candies to reward them when they delivered the delivery. Because he knew that there would be a delivery in the next few days, Lin Huang also prepared a bowl of candy in advance.
"Thank you!" The bird swept its wings over Lin Huang's palm, and the receipt and candy disappeared. It nodded slightly at Lin Huang, then flapped its wings and left.
Lin Huang moved the items into the house one by one. After closing the door, he began to count them.
"One Black Iron standard saber."
"One Basic Military Survival Saber."
"One Basic Military Water Storage Bottle."
"One box of armor-piercing explosive bullets (GrayEagle17 exclusive), ten bullets."
"Ten boxes of bullets, a total of five hundred bullets."
"A set of waterproof rain gear."
"A pair of night vision goggles."
"One telescope."
"Two bottles of hemostat."
"One roll of hemostatic bandage."
…
Buying these things had cost him almost 80% of his savings.
The saber alone cost him ten thousand credits. The water bottle was a piece of space-compression equipment made from the stomach of a monster called the Space Gerbil. It could hold a ton of liquid and cost 8,000 credits. There was also the box of Armor-Piercing Bullets, which cost 1,000 Credits for two. One box cost Lin Huang a total of 5,000 Credits. The other miscellaneous items added up to about two thousand credits.
This was the largest sum of money Lin Huang had spent since he came to this world, but he felt that it was worth it. He felt that these items might be useful in the Reserve Hunter assessment.
The content of the Reserve Hunter assessment was different every time, but there was always a survival test at the end of the assessment. The reason why Lin Huang bought these was to prepare for the final assessment.
"The items arrived so quickly. I ordered them yesterday and they all arrived early this morning. When I woke up, I was thinking if I should change the delivery address for the renovation of the house. It seems like there's no need for that anymore. "After checking the items, Lin Huang put them away in his storage space.
The Reserve Hunter assessment could be registered on the website of the Hunters' Association on the Heart Intranet. As for the assessment, he would have to go to a medium-sized foothold. Every medium-sized foothold would have a Reserve Hunter assessment every month. The nearest medium-sized foothold to Lin Huang's foothold was foothold No.7C87. The assessment would start a week later. It would only take him about two hours to get to the foothold by riding an eagle. There was enough time for him to prepare for the assessment.
Just when Lin Huang was thinking about what else he needed to prepare, someone knocked on the door again.
Lin Huang walked to the door in surprise. When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and a group of men in overalls standing at the door.
The middle-aged man in the suit stepped forward and held Lin Huang's hand. He smiled politely, "Mr. Lin Huang, we received the renovation notice from the Coalition government yesterday. Today, we are here to renovate your house. Feel free to let us know if you have any comments or ideas."
"I don't have any comments or ideas, as long as you can't see the scars on the walls and floor." Lin Huang did not expect them to be so efficient. He had only received a notification from the Union when he was about to finish his lunch yesterday, saying that the audit had been approved. He did not expect them to come early in the morning.
"If that's the case, we'll try our best!" The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. He then passed a card to Lin Huang. It was a hotel room card. "The repair will take about five days. It won't take more than five days. The room is for five days."
"Thank you." Lin Huang took the room card. He was stunned when he saw the name of the hotel on the card. The word 'Stable' was written on the card. It was the room card of the Stable Residence. The Stable Residence was the most luxurious hotel in the entire foothold. A normal room would cost at least 1,000 credit points per night. It was said that it was almost the price of a large foothold hotel. However, he did not think too much about it. He thought that the Coalition government made such arrangements for people who needed to renovate their houses.
"Just leave it to us for the next few days. If there's a delivery, we'll forward it to the hotel for you. If there's anything valuable in your house, you can pack it up now. We'll come in after you're done, "the middle-aged man in the suit reminded him.
"Valuable things? No. " Lin Huang shook his head. "I'll just take the toiletries that my sister and I will be using for the next few days. You guys can go in first."
"It's fine. We'll come in after you're done." The middle-aged man in the suit insisted.
Lin Huang did not say much since the middle-aged man insisted. He turned around and went upstairs to get their toiletries. After he was done, he made sure that he did not miss anything. He then went downstairs again.
"Alright, I'll leave this place to you guys. I'm going to the hotel." Lin Huang handed a piece of paper to the middle-aged man in the suit. "This is the password to the door. The door is not locked. However, the key is in the mirror cabinet above the washroom on the second floor. You guys can take it if you need it. "
The middle-aged man in the suit took the piece of paper and nodded at Lin Huang. "Don't worry. We'll take care of it."
The entire foothold No.7D101 was not that big. There were only three to four main roads. Street 101, where Lin Huang lived, was actually a beautiful vision that the people had when the foothold was built. They hoped that one day, the foothold would expand to have more than a hundred streets and become a B-grade large-scale foothold.
Lin Huang arrived at the Stable Residence after walking for about ten minutes. He could not help but feel happy when he saw the open courtyard in front of the Stable Residence. It was decorated with an oriental charm.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Lin Huang took a picture of the entire Stable Residence. He sent the picture to Lin Xin with a message. "The renovations have started. We'll be staying here for the next five days. Room 302. Come over directly after school."
"Brother, you're not lying to me on purpose, are you?!" Lin Xin replied quickly.
Lin Xin was no stranger to the location of the Stable Residence. Her daily route to and from school was not far from the Stable Residence. Sometimes, she would purposely take a detour to take pictures of the flowers. Moreover, she had always wanted to know what the rooms in the Stable Residence looked like. Hence, she thought that Lin Huang was lying the moment she received the message.
Lin Huang did not explain anything. He took a picture of the front and back of the room card and sent it back.
What Lin Huang did not know was that as soon as he stepped into the Stable Residence, there was a pair of eyes locked on him from the Stable Residence.
