863 First Time Stepping Foot into the Territory, City of Money! Part 3

As the hot wind blew on him, Yang Wu initially started off as nagging them, but slowly he started to complain.

Actually, the cost of renting and eating is a smaller fraction. The other miscellaneous expenses are the terrifying ones!

Although no living taxes are imposed on Hope Citys residents, we still have to pay a fixed ident.i.ty maintenance fee. Depending on the price of your ident.i.ty, you will have to pay a tax of 0.8% of the price every month.

Also, there is no depreciation in value for housing. However, the water, electricity, maintenance, and foundation fees total up to quite a large sum.

!!

Additionally, itll be impossible for you to travel on foot to places. Then, youll also need to pay for taxis or charge your cars if you decide to buy one. With that, youll also have to pay road taxes

He talked about dozens of expenses in the territory. Just as Huang Xiaojuan was overwhelmed, Yang Wu stopped talking.

All this aside, the most important thing is thattwenty-five percent of your monthly income in the territory has to be handed in as the territorys disaster resistance funds, and another twenty-five percent is imposed as residents medical insurance.

In the end, you only get half of your income!

Yang Wu complained about the territorys existing system in one breath. Seeing Su Mos slightly changed face, he sighed in relief and was much more relaxed.

In the outsiders eyes, the residents of major territories live comfortably in big rooms and do not have to worry about food or clothes. They seemed to live safe lives and were superior to others.

However, they knew the tragic end they would face if they had no money in a large territory that prioritized wealth.

Us, older residents, are given one year to raise funds if we ever go bankrupt.

However, newcomers like you will have your ident.i.ty confiscated and be driven out of the territory if your trading points remain at zero for more than three days.

Alsoyou have to be careful of some outsiders that only have temporary ident.i.ties in the territory. Some will maliciously set up traps to scam people, and the consequences of falling into for their tricks are terrible.

As the large-scale town appeared in their field of vision, Yang Wus rambling gradually came to a stop.

Luna Town is right ahead of us. Its already getting dark. You must make arrangements soon if you want to rent a place.

Alright.

The energy car stopped at the town entrance, and the three got off the carriage. Su Mo raised his hand and paid for the fare.

Ive received it. You can contact me anytime you need to use a car!

Yang Wu handed over a handwritten business card and smiled brightly. Then, he jumped back into the car and left in the distance.

Evidently, even though he had no ambitions, the citys rule prevented him from staying comfortable and forced him to keep moving to meet his various expenses.

Youzong, areare we going to rent a house first?

After being made aware of the territorys harsh reality, Huan Xiaokjuan looked slightly worried as she observed the surroundings.

There was a huge gap between the scene before her and the beautiful life that she had imagined.

p.r.i.c.kly Pear Town and Luna Town were both towns.

The tallest building in p.r.i.c.kly Pear Town was only four stories, and most of the other accommodations were single-story houses. In comparison, the shortest building in Luna Town was at least three stories!

Standing at the town gate, the noises and liveliness coming from inside could be vaguely heard, enough to see the towns prosperity.

Were not in a rush. Lets walk around first.

Su Mo glanced at the bright moon sign on the town gate and the energy cars headed inside the city.

He took a slow deep breath, trying to suppress the impulse in his heart.

According to what Yang Wu shared with them, the monthly expenses of living in an urban area would add up to at least one thousand points.

Among them, renting a place would account for most of the expenses. Ident.i.ty taxes and meals would take up only a smaller portion.

As a result, many outsiders who bought ident.i.ties preferred to rent houses in suburban areas like Luna Town and Mulberry Field Town to save money.

It seems Ill have to rent a place here for the time being to save money.

Compared to the previous two ruin missions, this timeits really Level h.e.l.l!

It was like a poor boy that arrived in the capital from a remote mountain village with a huge sum of one thousand dollars.

Su Mo thought it would last him for a while. Unfortunately, it was going to be hard to even last for a month.

His current ident.i.ty made it difficult even to get a car and house in the city center, let alone take control of the entire city within one year.

Su Mo could not help but feel excited as he strode into the town.
