Chapter 50: If you don't have money to rent a house, you have to become a stray cat

As the key functional building of the Meow Star base, the Cat Tower can also be regarded as one of the landmarks of the base.
After wandering around the nearby area for a while, Tang Mu focused on understanding the prices here and found that they were actually slightly lower than those in the human world.
The price is probably similar to that of the 2000s.
Tang Mu happened to be a little hungry, so he bought three meat buns, and while eating them, he continued to observe this small world that belonged exclusively to cats.
You have your own system to pay wages.
The rest of the cats seem to have to take on various tasks in the stronghold just like humans.
Use labor in exchange for money.
However, because each cat's time at the stronghold is limited, Tang Mu made some inquiries and found out that they seemed to adopt a four-hour working day.
The minimum hourly wage is 50, which means that if you work four hours a day, the minimum hourly wage is 6,000.
You can earn more if you take a job with a higher hourly wage.
Even with the minimum wage, one can live a very comfortable life at the prices in the Meow Star base.
To be honest, Tom was a little envious of them.
When I think about it as a human being, I could earn almost this much money after working so hard for a month.
After turning into a cat, after four and a half years since Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, I only received a reward of 5,000 yuan.
There is no comparison with these happy cats.
However, this way, Tom Mu became more confident in his search for a rental house.

The prices here are so low, so renting a house shouldn't be particularly expensive.
I am a cat now and I don't really need a good house.
Recalling the rental market in the human world in the past few years, Tang Mu felt that renting a house for hundreds or even thousands of dollars should be no problem.
Feeling that he had done a good job of market research, Tang Mu trotted towards the cat tower.
It is now looking forward to its new house.
When it makes more money, it will buy itself a new computer, a new console, and new games, and live the happy life that it dreamed of before.
Half an hour later, the inner service hall of the cat tower.
A ragdoll cat looked at Tang Mu with a professional smile and said: "We already know your request. According to your request, the rent in Laojie Community costs 15,000 per month. Is this what you want?" Card or cash?"
"How many?"
Tom Mu couldn't believe his ears.
"Fifteen thousand a month, and you need to deposit one and pay three, dear~"
The ragdoll cat is worthy of the title of fairy cat. Even in the face of Tom Mu's sudden shouting, it still maintains an indifferent smile and its big eyes are very pure.
But the price was really beyond Tang Mu's imagination.
The beautiful fantasy I had before coming here was suddenly smashed by the heavy hammer of reality!
"But! Why is it so expensive?"
Tom Mu held his head in his hands with a look of disbelief.
Obviously, the big meat buns here only cost one yuan each, and they are very big with thin skin and lots of meat.
Judging from the prices here, it shouldn't be so expensive, right? !
"All transactions involving the human world are charged this way. Because we have to put in more effort and operations, please understand, dear~"
The ragdoll cat still has a smile on his face.
But Tom always feels itHe's laughing at himself for being poor.
"How much is the cheapest house? It doesn't have to be an old street community, as long as it's in Liuyang City."
Tom Mu began to lower his requirements.
Anyway, I have turned into a cat, so the housing conditions are just a little bit worse.
At worst, perform well on the next task and try to make more money.
Or you can take some time to work in Meow City.
When you have money, you can change it to a better one.
"The cheapest one is six thousand a month, but you have to deposit one to three. Sir, are you satisfied?"
As the ragdoll cat spoke, he slid the tablet held in his paws a few times and handed a small twenty-square-meter house that resembled a rough house to Tom Mu.
Looking at the picture of the house on the tablet, and the house price that I still cannot afford.
Tom Mu suddenly burst into tears.
You've already turned into a cat, why are you still being persecuted by housing prices?
The malice in this world is too deep.
Looking at Tom Mu's appearance, the working cats around him seem to be very experienced and are used to it.
The housing prices in Liuyang City are relatively low. If you go to other first-, second-, and third-tier cities, it is possible to pay hundreds of thousands a month.
Many new cats don't know this and have come to ask about the house price.
But in fact, Cat Tower provides this service.
But since the establishment of the Meow Star stronghold, not a single house-related transaction has been completed.
Whether you are buying a house or renting a house.
Sitting at another workstation next to the ragdoll cat is the old orange cat, Little Sun.
At this time, it still looks like it has not woken up.
I had just finished handling a client's work. I heard the conversation here and saw Tom Mu, a cat I knew, so he turned sideways and said, "Why do you want to rent a house? Even if you rent a house, it will be harmful to the human world." It's of no use to you, right?"
Tang Mu couldn't understand the meaning of Little Sun's words.
Why are houses in the human world useless to it?
Before Tom Mu could ask, it seemed that their chat topics had interested the receptionists in the cat tower.
Another cat said with a smile: "What's wrong with the dead Si Lan Lin? Why don't you find a human who is close to him and get close to him. As long as he acts cute and rolls around a little, they will be obedient. Take you home. Don't you have a house to live in by then?"
Just as this cat finished speaking, another tortoiseshell cat also said with great approval: "Yes, Twolegs are very suitable cat slaves. They will provide us with food and water unconditionally, shovel poop for us, and even He won't be angry if I break his cup."
The ragdoll cat sister also raised her chin proudly: "Human beings cannot resist our charm. As a cat, you have to learn how to use your own advantages."
Not only these receptionist cats, but also some other cats who came to handle business nodded their heads in agreement.
Tang Mu was speechless for a moment.
It is really difficult for him to find a bad guy and get a place by pretending to be stupid and cute.
Although I have decided to accept my identity as a cat, I will live more like a cat in the future.
But in a short period of time, I still couldn't overcome the psychological hurdle.
Not all cats need to be house cats.
With his own abilities, being a stray cat shouldn't be a problem.
Since the current money is not enough to rent a house, it is okay to wander for a while first and then rent when you have enough money saved.
Anyway, he can still go to Meow City to buy food and eat every day, so the five thousand yuan is enough for him to last for a long time.
Thinking of this, Tom immediately raised his paws and pointed at the sky and shouted: "Even if I, Tom, starve to death, get soaked in the rain, or be chased away by dogs, I will never become a human domestic cat! This stray cat! I'm determined. !"
Tom Mu, who said some bold words in the cat tower and felt extremely handsome, turned around and left.
He really didn't notice the cats in the cat tower looking at him with a look of disgust.
"I bet it won't take a month to realize what it's like to be a house cat."
The Ragdoll cat pouted.
Little Taiyang, who lives in the old street community like Tang Mu, squinted his eyes and yawned: "One month is too long, I guess seven days will be enough."
