Daily tasks of mistakenly brushing tasks on the spot

Then, she looked at Hestia again and continued:

"If you find one and you can't pay the rent next month, come to me and I'll advance you half a year's rent. But it's considered a loan, so you have to remember to pay it back later."

After hearing what Hephaestus said, Bai Ke couldn't help but recall the original plot, and suddenly felt that Hephaestus's temper seemed too good.

They give pocket money, help find a house or pay the rent.

It's somewhat inconsistent with the original plot.

In the original novel, Hestia stayed at Hephaestus's family for three months, relying on fried potato balls and books. She lived a decadent life of eating fried potato balls, reading books, and eating again every day.

Until he once again rejected his friend's suggestion to recruit followers with the words "I'll do it tomorrow", and was driven out of the followers by the furious Hephaestus.

After that, Hestia lived a miserable life with hunger and satiety. After she came to her for help countless times, Hephaestus didn't know whether she was annoyed or felt that these lessons were enough to cheer up her friend.

So he helped Hestia find a place to live and found her a job that could support herself.

Thinking about it this way, Hephaestus really has a good temper. If he had a friend like this at home, he would kick her out in a week, not three months.

Bai Ke then thought that Hestia had not yet experienced March's decadent life and disappointed her friends, and coupled with Hephaestus's good temper, all of this could be explained.

"My God, you are so kind to me!"

When Hestia heard this and knew that there was a guarantee, she excitedly jumped over the table and threw herself into Hephaestus' arms, making a lot of noise.

Hephaestus could not help but hold her forehead with her hand.

After a commotion, Hestia calmed down, and the two gods chatted for a while before deciding to start the shopping trip they had agreed on for today.

Bai Ke naturally had no intention of being the bagman for the two gods, so he said goodbye directly. In front of the store, he waved to Hestia and Hephaestus in the luxurious carriage, and then walked back to the bookstore.

……

"Manager, I'm back."

Bai Ke entered the bookstore, glanced at the few customers in the store, went to the counter and greeted the old manager.

"So fast?"

The old store manager was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Bai Ke would come back after going out with the God for about an hour.

"The Goddess just introduced me to her fellow gods. After that, there was nothing else to do, so I came back."

Bai Ke answered, and then he asked the store manager:

"By the way, store manager, do you know of any houses for rent around here? The price should be within 100,000 faris, and you can rent it for only one month."

Bai Ke didn't know much about renting a house, so he had to ask the locals. Obviously, the store manager was a good choice.

"Rent a house? You don't want to live with your clan? Does your Lord God agree?"

The old store manager asked doubtfully.

"No."

Bai Ke quickly explained: "My clan doesn't have a base yet, so I want to find a temporary base first."

"what!"

The old store manager seemed to have heard something shocking. He stood up in shock. Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked in disbelief:

"You are not the only one in your clan, are you?"

"Uh...right."

Bai Ke nodded after a slight hesitation. He was aware of the common sense of this world. If he didn't have a cheat, he wouldn't have joined a clan without anyone.

"Although the goddess is very beautiful, you can't join a clan without anyone without caring about your own safety..."

The old store manager looked at Bai Ke with disappointment, thinking that he had joined this clan because he was bewitched by the goddess.

It is common knowledge for almost everyone in Orario that one cannot join an early-stage clan.

For anything, the beginning is also the most difficult.

The same applies to the clan, especially for newcomers, and even more so for a clan consisting of only one person.

"Then do you have the brand of God's grace?"

The old store manager asked with the last glimmer of hope, if not, there is still room for recovery.

“Engraved…”

Bai Ke said somewhat embarrassedly,

"Why……."

The old store manager sighed and sat back in his chair. What’s done is done and there is nothing that can be done.

After a moment of silence, the store manager said:

"Leave the house matter to me. Even though I'm old, I still know a few people there."

He had no ability to do anything to help the young man, and all he could do now was to help him find a cheap place to live.

"Sorry for your trouble!"

Bai Ke bowed sincerely to express his gratitude.

ps: There is only one update today, but the word count of the two chapters combined remains unchanged.

Chapter 4000: Finishing and Updating ( words long chapter, two chapters in one.)

Time passed by and came to the next day.

This morning, Bai Ke did not go to the backyard to exercise as usual, but was reading a book "Continental Miscellaneous" in front of the bookstore, quietly waiting for Hestia to arrive.

Yesterday, because of Bai Ke's incident, the store manager closed the store early. He took Bai Ke on a carriage and went to the store of an old friend of his.

After the two of them talked, Bai Ke was taken by the clerk to visit a number of vacant houses and inspect them in person.

Bai Ke followed the shop assistant around for an entire afternoon and finally selected three good houses. He was quite satisfied with the price, location, environment, and interior.

And with the help of the store manager, you don't need to rent the house for several months at a time, you only need to pay the rent every month.

Now we just have to wait for Hestia to arrive to finalize the issue of which house to rent.

Along with the sound of the bookstore door opening, a figure rushed in, accompanied by a girl's crisp voice, a little breathless:

"Bai Ke, here I come."

When Bai Ke heard the noise, he took his eyes off the book and looked towards the door, and saw Hestia in a white dress. However, compared to yesterday, she was carrying a long wooden box today.

The store seemed a little deserted because it was morning. Only Bai Ke was sitting not far away. Hestia saw him at a glance.

"Good morning, Grandpa."

Hestia greeted the old store manager, then quickly walked to the table made by Bai Ke, untied the things she was carrying and placed them on the table.

"Bai Ke, this is a gift from Hephaestus to you."

Hestia unwrapped the cloth, revealing a long box. She then pushed the box in front of Bai Ke and asked expectantly:

"This is the weapon I asked Hephaestus to make last night. Take a look. I wonder if you like it."

"Thank you for your help, Lord God."

Bai Ke thanked him.

"You are my child, and as the Lord God, this is what I should do."

Hestia waved her hand and continued, "

"Open it and take a look."

"Ah."

Bai Ke said he understood, then opened the box, revealing a long sword inside. The sword was about one meter long, and the handle and scabbard were both black with complex red patterns on them.

He picked up the knife and saw that the blade was completely white, with the edge flashing coldly in the sun. "Zhan Qiu" was engraved on the blade near the handle, which was obviously its name.

"Lord God, I like this knife very much."

Bai Ke is very proficient in swordsmanship, and his understanding of swords is naturally at a certain level. It can be seen that the sword in his hand is absolutely a top-notch one.

"As long as you like it."

Hestia smiled.

After Bai Ke put the knife back into the box, he looked at Hestia and said:

"Lord God, I have found three houses. Let's go and take a look today to decide which one you like."

"So fast?"

Hestia was stunned. She obviously didn't expect Bai Ke to act so quickly. Something that was being discussed yesterday was done today.

"Thanks to the store manager for his help, otherwise I wouldn't have found the house so quickly."

Bai Ke answered truthfully.

"Then I have to thank Grandpa."

Hestia stood up and ran to the counter, bowed to the old store manager, and thanked him:

"Thank you for helping me find a house, old man."

"You're welcome, Lord God. Please get up."

The old store manager shook his head, then tried to help Hestia up, but the counter prevented him from doing so, so he could only watch the Goddess finish her work and bow in thanks.

"Master store manager, leave this here for now. I will take God with me to decide which house to rent."

Bai Ke put the wrapped box on the counter and said.

There was no place to hang it around his waist or back, so it was not convenient to hold it. He also had to go house hunting with Hestia, and it would be too troublesome to carry this thing.

"Well, okay, go ahead."

The old store manager nodded to show that he understood.

"Lord God, let's go."

Bai Ke called out and then walked out of the bookstore.

"Goodbye, grandpa."

Hestia said goodbye and quickly followed Bai Ke.

Looking at Bai Ke and the goddess' backs, the old store manager sighed: "I hope everything will be fine. Don't end up like my son..."

The words stopped at the end.

……

There are three houses, one of which is a two-story house on a branch street three blocks away. The monthly rent is 120,000 fares. Because of the old man's relationship, the monthly rent can be reduced by 10,000 fares.

The other, a two-storey cottage in a residential area in the West End, cost fifty thousand fares.

The last one was two blocks away from the bookstore. Coincidentally, this house was close to the park where he had just crossed the street to sleep. Because it was far away from the busy streets, the price was 70,000 fares.

Bai Ke took Hestia to look at the three houses, and then went in to take a look around and check them out carefully.

The three houses are fully equipped with various equipment and magic stone devices, but there are no decorations, tables, chairs, sofas... and other daily necessities. He needs to arrange them according to his own preferences later.

The keys to the three houses were given to him in advance because of the store manager. Once he decided to rent the house, he could pay the money and return the remaining two keys.

In the park they had just crossed, on the familiar bench where he had spent the night, Bai Ke and Hestia sat and started a discussion to decide where to stay next.

After some discussion, the two finally decided to rent a third house as their base, mainly because it was close to Adventurer Street and had enough space, with five bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a utility room, etc.

After making the decision, he naturally had to pay the rent and return the remaining two keys. Bai Ke didn't plan to go alone, but Hestia wanted to go with him, so he had to take her with him.

The original monthly rent of the house was 70,000 Fares, but thanks to the relationship with the store manager, the rent was reduced by 10,000 Fares to only 60,000 Fares a month.

Hestia's 90,000 pocket money, plus Bai Ke's 20,000 fares saved, after renting the house, only 50,000 fares were left.

After finishing all these things, when they returned to the bookstore, it was almost noon, so Bai Ke started to prepare lunch. The two of them had a simple meal and solved their lunch problem.

After washing and putting away the dishes, Bai Ke said something to Hestia, saying that he had something to do, then he returned to his small utility room in the bookstore and sat on the edge of the bed.
