Chapter 10

"Check it out."

Yin Xiu didn't have a bank card, not even an ID card, so he couldn't get a bank card and naturally couldn't transfer money through the bank. He could only ask for a check or a direct cash settlement.

"Alright!"

Manager Qin agreed and immediately wrote a check for 200,000 yuan for Yin Xiu. With the check, he could cash it at the bank anytime.

After leaving Ronghe Jade Shop, Yin Xiu glanced at the check in his hand and then went to the bank to cash it out.

200,000 yuan isn't a huge amount.

Twenty stacks of 10,000 yuan each, all hundred-yuan bills, when taken out of the bank and wrapped in paper, were about the size of two bricks.

Yin Xiu walked to a secluded corner, took out 10,000 yuan and put it in his pocket, and then put the rest of the money into his storage ring.

"Alright! Now I need to find a place to stay..." Yin Xiu patted his hands, muttered to himself, and walked towards Yinhai University.

After all, Yinhai University was once Yin Xiu's home, and only the cedar tree in Yinhai University could bring him some familiarity and memories.

Instinctively, Yin Xiu wanted to find a place to settle near Yinhai University.

Although 200,000 yuan isn't a small amount, it's far from enough to buy a house. Besides, Yin Xiu currently didn't have the need to buy a house. Renting a nice apartment near Yinhai University was sufficient for now.

Finding a rental apartment wasn't difficult for Yin Xiu. With his spiritual sense, he could clearly see which areas had a good environment and were satisfactory to him, and then use his spiritual sense to check if there were any rental ads posted.

In less than half an hour, Yin Xiu had already found a nice apartment. After negotiating the price with the landlord and paying the deposit and the first month's rent, Yin Xiu got the key to the room.

It was a one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, with a monthly rent of 1,200 yuan. The apartment was fully furnished and ready to move in, making it very convenient.

Moreover, the environment around the apartment was also very nice, quiet, and clean. It was not far from Yinhai University, just a ten-minute walk.

"Not bad, a one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, enough for me to live in." Yin Xiu sat on the sofa in the living room, looked around at the decoration, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, the layout and decoration of houses nowadays are indeed much more beautiful and reasonable than before, but the air and environment in cities are much worse than they used to be..."

Before Yin Xiu left Earth, there weren't many industries in the whole of China, and the environment was hardly polluted, which was not comparable to now.

"Xiao Man, this will be our temporary home for now. Are you satisfied?"

Yin Xiu patted Xiao Man, who was squatting next to him, munching on a spirit fruit. He said.

Hearing Yin Xiu's words, Xiao Man couldn't help but raise its head and 'gaji' at him, seemingly very satisfied, and then continued to lower its head to eat the fruit...

Yin Xiu smiled. The little guy was only a little over five years old and still in its juvenile stage. Yin Xiu's question was clearly not as attractive as the spirit fruit in its paws.

That 'gaji' response seemed a bit like a perfunctory answer.

Moreover, it had been with Yin Xiu since it couldn't even open its eyes. For it, as long as it was with Yin Xiu, it didn't matter where they were.

The apartment was fully furnished with all the necessary appliances, so Yin Xiu didn't need to buy anything. To be honest, he didn't really need many of these things.

With nothing else to do, Yin Xiu casually turned on the large-screen LCD TV in the living room.

This was the first time Yin Xiu had watched TV. When he left Earth, China didn't even have TV. He only learned how to operate it because he used soul-searching on someone yesterday.

The TV turned on, displaying a very high-definition picture, and the sound of the TV program also came out.

Xiao Man, who was munching on the spirit fruit, was immediately attracted by the sudden sound, looking up in surprise. Its bright black eyes stared at the TV screen, clearly full of suspicion and curiosity.

"Gaji! Gaji..."

Xiao Man didn't understand what this thing was, how there were people talking inside, and whether it was some kind of magical treasure?

Seeing Xiao Man raise a paw and point at the TV, calling out curiously, Yin Xiu couldn't help but laugh. He patted its head and said, "Little guy, this thing is called a TV. When you turn it on, you can watch programs and change channels freely..."

Yin Xiu didn't care whether Xiao Man could understand such a complex explanation.

Although Xiao Man was a rare top-tier spirit beast with high intelligence, a TV, which it had never seen before, was clearly not something it could understand right away. Moreover, some of the words Yin Xiu used were beyond its comprehension.

Not to mention Xiao Man, even if it were a human, if Yin Xiu hadn't used soul-searching to probe the other person's memory, he himself wouldn't have been able to understand many of the high-tech gadgets of this era right away.

"Gaji?"

Xiao Man was still puzzled, even dropping the half-eaten spirit fruit on the side, and then 'whoosh' jumped in front of the LCD TV. It opened its bright black eyes wide, tilting its head to look at the constantly changing images on the TV and listening to the sounds coming from it.

After a while, it couldn't help but use its little paws to touch and tap the LCD TV, seemingly very curious about how there could be people inside this big square box and how it could make sounds.

"Gaji..."

Xiao Man looked around the LCD TV, examining it carefully, but still couldn't figure out what it was. It then turned back to call out to Yin Xiu.

Yin Xiu was amused by Xiao Man's actions and chuckled, waving to Xiao Man, "Little guy, come here."

Xiao Man 'slid' back to Yin Xiu's side, looking at him with a puzzled expression, pointing at the TV, and 'gaji' called out to Yin Xiu twice.

Yin Xiu couldn't specifically explain to Xiao Man what a TV was. The key was that Xiao Man's current cognitive level couldn't understand it.

Suppressing his laughter, Yin Xiu patted Xiao Man's little head and said, "Sit down and watch TV. I can't explain it to you now, you won't understand."

Xiao Man lowered its head and thought for a while, probably really couldn't figure it out, so it decided not to waste its brain. It picked up the half-eaten fruit it had thrown aside, squatted next to Yin Xiu, and watched TV while munching on the fruit.

The two of them sat side by side, watching TV, a very harmonious scene...
