The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 45 New Home
"Okay, I'll buy it."

Jiang Mian's previous article on the Boss Spider published on Yunwang still generates income, but it's decreasing.

She later published many more articles about medicine, so she still had income.

I can still give you 100,000 Star Coins.

Upon hearing these crisp words, the rabbit-like boy abruptly looked up at Jiang Mian, his pinkish-red eyes gazing at her weakly, as if he couldn't believe it, yet also as if he were confirming that Jiang Mian really intended to buy him.

"Let's go find your master." Jiang Mian stepped out of the group.

She took a few steps and realized the rabbit boy hadn't followed, so she turned back to him and said, "Get up."

The rabbit boy, also known as Qixu, was stunned for a moment. He quickly got up from the ground. His knees were a little sore from kneeling for so long. He wanted to catch up with Jiang Mian quickly, but he almost fell again. He quickly got up and followed Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian paused, said nothing, and stood there waiting for him.

Once he caught up, Jiang Mian turned around and slowly walked to the long-haired woman's side. Looking at her, he slowly asked, "Ten thousand star coins?"

"One hundred thousand star coins to buy it outright," the long-haired woman said crisply. "No after-sales service will be provided for any subsequent issues."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment. This statement really treated orcs like commodities.

She didn't say anything, but silently transferred the money using her personal terminal. The other party also used their personal terminal to connect with Jiang Mian's personal terminal, effectively changing the ownership of the chip in the rabbit boy's brain.

At this point, the transaction is considered complete.

From now on, Jiang Mian will be the master of Rabbit Boy. If Jiang Mian dies, the chip in his brain will explode. Jiang Mian can also issue commands to the chip in his brain.

After confirming that everything was correct, Jiang Mian glanced at the rabbit boy and said, "Let's go."

She went back to the end of the line.

Qi Xu paused for a moment, then followed her to the end.

"Master, my name is Qixu." Qixu spoke softly, her voice still a little hoarse, "Thank you for saving me, Master."

"My name is Jiang Mian," Jiang Mian simply said.

Unlike her five rebellious beastmen, the rabbit girl did not disobey her master.

Qixu is more like an orc who has been domesticated and tamed by this era to be extremely obedient.

Jiang Mian wouldn't deliberately try to stop him from calling her "master".

Her purpose in saving him was simply to get him to help her with housework.

"Qixu has remembered." Qixu lowered her eyes gently, concealing the nervousness and fear in them.

No matter what kind of personality the new owner has, as long as they can survive, there won't be any problems.

But he wasn't worth 100,000 star coins. He had an unsightly burn on his face. The scar had faded, but the unsightly, uneven marks remained.

He said he was good-looking, but he lied because he wanted to live.

The original owner didn't expose him and even deliberately raised the price.

A disfigured orc can't even be sold for 10,000 star coins.

The original owner sold it for 100,000 star coins.

Qi Xu was terrified, and her throat became even drier. The likely outcome was that she would be beaten up or sold off cheaply.

However, Qi Xu was willing to endure these things if he could live in the city a little longer, since he was used to them and they were common occurrences for him.

Jiang Mian queued up to enter the city and also paid the entrance fee for Qi Xu. The two of them went in together.

She went inside and saw what the interior of the White City looked like.

The ground was clean and tidy. Although there were many buildings close together, they were arranged in an orderly manner. The buildings here were not tall, mostly two or three stories high. Baicheng was divided into a main city and a secondary city, and the buildings in both cities were the same, two or three stories high and arranged neatly. There was no difference between them. The only difference was that the air quality in the main city was good, while the air quality in the secondary city was moderate.

Jiang Mian saw a large shop with a sign that read: "Baicheng Resident Check-in Processing".

"Let's go take a look." Jiang Mian called to a few orcs and then took the lead.

She walked to the door and was about to go in when the man at the door reached out and stopped her. Jiang Mian looked at the man in confusion, and the man simply said, "Orcs cannot come in."

Jiang Mian paused, then turned to look at the six orcs behind him.

"Mianmian, we're waiting for you here," Rong Fei said with a slight smile.

When Qi Xu heard Rong Fei dare to call him "master" like that, she looked at Rong Fei in surprise and disbelief.

What he found even more unbelievable was that his master wasn't angry at all.

"Okay, you guys wait for me outside," Jiang Mian said before going inside.

Rong Fei seemed to notice Qi Xu's gaze, and glanced at Qi Xu with a faint expression.

Qi Xu quickly averted her gaze and lowered her head.

Rong Fei glanced at Qi Xu casually before looking away.

Jiang Mian learned at the information desk of her residence that it was not possible to obtain a long-term residence permit for beast slaves; only free beastmen and humans could obtain long-term residence permits.

"Madam, do you need a seven-bedroom apartment in the main city with a bathroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a backyard?" The man shifted his gaze from the transparent screen to Jiang Mian.

"Yes." Jiang Mian nodded.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, we don't currently have that type of house in the main city." The man spoke slowly and deliberately. "However, we do have a two-story house with seven bedrooms, one bathroom, one kitchen, and a backyard. The monthly rent for such a house ranges from 100,000 to 500,000. Ma'am, which type would you like to choose?"

Jiang Mian did a quick mental calculation: with six orcs and herself, that's seven people in total, and the monthly city fee would be 45 star coins.

The monthly rent for a house ranges from 100,000 to 500,000, which is between 550,000 and 950,000 Star Coins.

A house with a monthly rent of 500,000 Star Coins would definitely be larger, but that would mean paying about one million Star Coins every month.

Although Jiang Mian briefly became rich through cloud computing, he spent almost all of it...

Ten thousand star coins is definitely a very small amount.

So Jiang Mian compromised and chose a house with a monthly rent of 300,000 star coins.

After the handover process was completed by the quantum computer, Jiang Mian received a set of keys and, with six orcs, navigated through many alleys before finally arriving at the entrance of Alley 11.

Rows of low-rise buildings, only two or three stories high, without any decoration, are quite ordinary, unlike the hundred-story skyscrapers that rise from the ground in the bustling capital.

You can't expect too much from a city in exile; most cities are like that.

White City is considered the best city, but its main city is like the crowded, low-lying slum outer city of the Imperial Capital.

The air, food, and medical care here are all expensive...

The house had no front yard; the door at the alley entrance served as the main gate, which was a rusty iron gate.

Jiang Mian felt that she hadn't used a key to open the door in a long time; previously, her smart home assistant would scan and open the door for her automatically.

Interstellar is quite intelligent, but exile planets are not, and sometimes due to chaos, the quantum computer's signal is also poor.

Jiang Mian also discovered that the farther away she was from the airport, the more her personal computer would sometimes have the StarNet and sometimes not.

After a short while, she was still a bit clumsy when she tried to open the door with the key, but she managed to open it successfully. The house looked dust-free, so it must be frequently occupied.

Qixu quickly picked up the broom and rag left by the previous owner and began cleaning the house.
