Chapter 9 - Searching a new home.

If I need a home I have to go to a real estate agent.

When I searched for a agent in the Internet. I noticed that the news already spread, that there is a black card holder in the city.

Is it really a good Idea to make a big purchase when these news are spreading? Even If I buy a house. My name will be written down as the owner. making me traceable.

If you want to hide on earth, you have to either flee outside of the search zone or hide in the crowd.

this Civilization is on a Universal scale, so the search area is probably the size of the hole planet. 

If I want to flee I would have to buy a ticket for a ship. as a passenger I need some Identification. so that is not working. If I want to get smuggled out I have to find a group I can trust in the underground. 

But I don't have connections to the underground. Can I even trust them? I am a human after all. they could just sell me after we left the planet. 

so fleeing is not an option. what about hiding in the crowd? ... yeah I really busted that with the black card in the open street. At least my face is not circulating on the Internet. the public is probably looking out for any expensive transactions. Moving to a different city is the safest.

the next City is 20km away... No the one 20km away is the raided city. the next city would be 400km away.

I need a vehicle for this distance. buying a car is not an option. are there Public transportations?

there is a underground highspeed train leaving in an hour. tickets are purchasable from the phone.

 with a little jog I got the train and went to Abberdean.

I almost couldn't feel the acceleration of the train. After looking it up on the Internet. It said that trains have something like a artificial gravity device that counters the acceleration and deceleration.

On the train I scrolled through the Internet. the inhabitants of Jork believe, that the wealthy man is in the city for business and are wondering, which business was able to get the attention of a one star black card holder. the possibility of it being a 6 star black card is so crazy, that they believe it probably just got hyped. 

they pointed fingers at different companies and that one of there achievements made the impact.

Followed by them denying it. followed by claiming that they lied and just protect the black card holder.

after entering Abberdean, I saw the sun going down. so lets take a hotel for this night.

a simple hotel room for one night cost 100 Etran. 

At the next morning, I still haven't solved my home problem.

I could just stay in the hotel, but the employees would notice it if someone is staying for a long time.

Constantly changing the hotel would solve that, but a city only has so many hotels. and I don't like constantly being on the move.

lets walk through the streets. maybe there is some inspiration. 

While walking through the Market streets there wasn't anything that would help me.

then I saw a homeless person sitting in an alley between two stores.

so I thought homeless people are falling under the radar. maybe they can give me an Idea.

I walked into the Alley and sat opposite him. Iven though I believe he Is a homeless guy. he still looks better and healthier than homeless people on earth. 

from the looks of it he is like a alien grown up teenager of the tranders that is having a hangover.

he looks up his phone and saw me. he said: "looks like society has thrown you away too."

I try acting along, to get to hear more: "Yeah. my dept is due tomorrow. my Account is empty. and I am really hungry. If I don't find anything fast I'll loose my home as well."

"If you want to know how to get rich fast, you are asking the wrong person. But if you fail tomorrow, there is a farmer. its harvest time. So he gives everyone who helps food and a shelter for the duration. All you have to do is don't fuck up too much."

It is indeed a good option for someone who failed in society.

"that sounds good. why are you not with him?"

"that cheapskate only pays 1 Etran a day. no matter how good you are. If you are at least good in something there are better options. but those are secret."

While standing up I said: "Well, I try my last luck at the casino. can I have the contact details of the Framer if it doesn't work?"

He tapped on his phone until he swiped on the display to my phone. I got a notification, that someone send me a message. and if I accept. after accepting I got the detail and went on my way.

The casino was obviously a lie. While walking down the street I called the farmer

"who is there?"

"Hello this is Jonas. I've got told I can get food and shelter, when I work for you."

"that's right. I pick you up at the parking lot of the WC restaurant on the orio street."

Afterwards the call ended.

I go to the destination and get in his vehicle. there are 4 others with me. 

while driving out of the city the Farmer explained. 

"My name is Rexontaris. Just call me Rex. When you work for me this is whats going to happen. you get payed 1 Etran a day. It won't go through governmental facilities, Its too time consuming for such a little sum. If you are scared of tax fraud then you can leave any time. there are 3 meals a day. at 7:00 , 13:00 and 19:00 if you miss it, its your fault. work is from 8:00 till 13:00 and 14:00 till 18:00. every day there is a minimum you have to harvest. it should be easy when you know how to drive a harvester. If not, I will explain the controls, when we are there. and better ask before you drive one into a wall. every year there is someone that absolutely destroys one. I hope this year is better. I have placed some Beds in my living room. You will share a room with 12 others that are probably in a similar situation than you. Any questions?"
