The people at the supply station immediately lost their other thoughts.
Qu Jianlei and the others rested at the supply station for a night, then took two more days and nights to reach the Zhou Six Settlement.
There were many houses outside the Settlement, around a hundred thousand of them, and they rented a small courtyard.
Then Cindy and Claire went into town to handle the residency procedures, which surprisingly required forty silver coins per person.
Claire got a half-price deal, but by the time she had used sixty silver coins, Cindy had little money left.
However, Qu Jianlei gave her one hundred silver notes — this was considered as handling official business for everyone.
Living outside the city was relatively convenient, and both he and Flower Scorpion couldn't conveniently enter the city, but having resident status made purchasing things easier.
He's not stingy, so if he can provide convenience for the group, of course it should go through official expenses.
