Before long, he had bought three sets of summer clothes, three sets of autumn clothes, and even underwear, socks, and shoes.
Su Mu carried his many bags into the mall restroom, and when he came out, his hands were empty, as if he hadn't bought anything.
He found the act of needing to find a secluded place to store purchased items into his system storage space very troublesome.
After a moment of thought, he decided to find a temporary residence, and then continue to purchase other items by ordering takeout.
Having others deliver goods to his door meant he wouldn't have to run around himself.
This would also make it easier to put things into his storage space, and he could also keep some items in his residence.
However, before looking for a residence, he planned to prepare a vehicle for future travel.
After the apocalypse, whether on regular roads or highways, they would definitely be jammed with fleeing cars, making it impossible for sedans and large vehicles to pass.
Only motorcycles could weave through narrow gaps.
Since he was going to prepare, he naturally wanted to prepare the best.
The best and fastest motorcycle was undoubtedly the 'Legend H2', with a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour. Of course, the price was not cheap, reaching 500,000.
After he bought clothes, he only had 250,000 left, which was not enough to buy it.
However, buying was the most foolish method.
He chose the cheapest and most money-saving method — renting.
Having made up his mind, Su Mu walked out of Yida Mall, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the largest motorcycle club nearby.
“Sir, are you buying or renting a car?”
As soon as he entered, a lightly dressed female receptionist enthusiastically greeted him, her gaze quickly sweeping over Su Mu.
Although he was dressed ordinarily, he didn't look like he was just browsing.
“Renting a car.”
Su Mu got straight to the point, “Do you have a Legend H2 here?”
“Yes! We do!” The receptionist's eyes lit up instantly, and her tone rose a few notches. This car was a treasure of the shop, and one rental could be equivalent to several days of income from ordinary models.
If it was rented out, she could get at least a three-digit commission.
“Sir, you've come to the right place. Our club just received a new car today with a unique appearance, and it's in excellent condition!”
“How much per day? What procedures are needed?” Su Mu directly asked the key questions.
“The rent is two thousand a day, and the deposit is ten thousand. You need an ID card and a driver's license for registration, and you also have to sign a waiver, because this car has a lot of horsepower, and ordinary people can't handle it, so it's easy to get scratched, bumped, or injured.”
Su Mu nodded. Twelve thousand to get a car worth hundreds of thousands.
It was too good a deal.
“Okay, I'll rent it for one day first. If I think it's good, I'll renew the rental tomorrow.”
The commission was secured.
The female receptionist became even more enthusiastic, gesturing with her hand: “Alright, Sir, please have a seat.”
After Su Mu sat down, the receptionist continued: “Sir, please provide your ID card and driver's license. I'll go process the paperwork for you now.”
Su Mu took out his documents from his wallet and handed them over.
The receptionist took the documents, first got him a glass of water, and then quickly walked to the front desk to handle the rental procedures.
Before long, the receptionist returned with the documents and sat opposite Su Mu.
She first returned his ID card and driver's license, then handed him four sheets of paper: “Sir, these are two copies each of the waiver and the rental agreement. Please take a look, and if there are no issues, after you sign and pay, you can drive the car away.”
She really hadn't expected this business to go so smoothly.
The other party chose to rent the car without even seeing it.
Su Mu signed his name without even looking. Whether there were any problems with the contract, after today, they wouldn't be problems anymore.
After paying, the female receptionist handed Su Mu the car keys and led him to the unique Legend H2.
Legend H2
Looking at the 'princess chariot' in front of him, pink and adorned with cute little bears.
Su Mu's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he turned to look at the receptionist: “No wonder you said it was unique; there really might not be a second one like it in the whole world.”
The female receptionist's cheeks were slightly red, renting a pink car to a big man.
Tomorrow's renewal, she feared, was out of the question.
However, this wasn't entirely her fault; who told Su Mu to confirm without even looking at the car!
She explained somewhat awkwardly: “Sir, the owner of this car is a great beauty, and she just put it in our shop for rent this morning.”
“She bought the car, changed its color, and then realized she couldn't handle this land-based flying machine at all.”
“The total mileage of this car is only a three-digit number; it's no different from a new car.”
Su Mu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his sense of incongruity with the color.
A car worth hundreds of thousands was obtained for twelve thousand; who cared if it was pink or green, as long as it worked.
In the apocalypse, who would still care about color?
If it really didn't work, he could just scratch the car's paint into a battle-damaged version later.
“Alright then.”
He waved his hand and directly straddled the motorcycle.
With a twist of the key, the engine's roar instantly drowned out the “delicacy” of the pink body.
After Su Mu drove out of the motorcycle club, he drove the car to a nearby gas station, filled it up, and then drove to a shady spot.
He took out his phone, opened a rental app, and slowly began to filter options.
He wanted to rent a detached villa with a garden and a wall.
Those costing several thousand or over ten thousand a month were either townhouses or stacked villas, or they were too poorly decorated, or located too far away in the mountains.
He directly set the filter condition to “price from high to low” and quickly found a satisfactory one: a detached villa with a wall, a garden of several hundred square meters, and by the lake.
He called, and the person on the other end was a real estate agent.
The office was near the villa community.
After a simple conversation, Su Mu hung up the phone, navigated the map, and drove the eye-catching pink Legend H2 towards Beiyu District.
If he hadn't been worried that if he put the car into his system storage space, the owner wouldn't be able to see the car's location and driving trajectory on the mobile app, which might lead to them calling the police and causing unnecessary trouble in advance.
He would have already put the car into his system storage space and taken a taxi.
The motorcycle flexibly weaved through traffic, its roar and unique color attracting many people's attention.
In twenty minutes, he arrived outside the 'Xuanhao House' office.
Su Mu parked the motorcycle, pushed open the glass door, and walked in.
It was noon, twelve o'clock, and several real estate agents in the store were sitting on the sofa eating lunch.
One young male agent saw Su Mu enter, put down his chopsticks, and stood up.
“Hello, how can I help you?”
“I just called Zhang Cheng from your office about renting a villa.” Su Mu replied concisely.
“You must be Mr. Su!”
The male agent's eyes lit up, and he quickly greeted him enthusiastically, “Please, have a seat. I'm Zhang Cheng, who you just spoke with on the phone.”
Zhang Cheng busily moved the takeout boxes on the table to a nearby workstation, clearing a space.
The other colleagues were very perceptive and all carried their lunch out of the store, leaving space for the two of them.
As soon as Su Mu sat down on the sofa, Zhang Cheng first got him a glass of water, then sat opposite him.
“Mr. Su, you have excellent taste.”
