Piltover, Zaun community,

This is the place where Levi "came into the world" and is also the earliest base of the Wind Leader Association.

It is of great significance to Levi. But when the leader steps out of this small Zaun community and begins to move into the wider world, as the helmsman of this giant ship, Levi's eyes have to turn

A more distant and grand place.

What he studies every day are rows of economic data that list astronomical figures, dazzling work reports from various places, and social changes that are happening all over the world and affect the fate of hundreds of millions of people.

The Zaun community is too small, and he hasn't been back to see it for a long time.

But at this moment, in order to pay homage to that friend, Li Wei suddenly wanted to come back and take a look again.

He flew away from the celebration square, leaving the bustling, joyful scene far behind him.

He flew over the newly built wide roads and high-rise buildings in Zu'an, and flew over the canal bridge that no longer had checkpoints to separate the two cities, and the "sky chasm" became a thoroughfare, and flew over the magnificent sun.

Gate sea gate.

Finally, Levi arrived at the Zaun community.

The community streets here have long been clean and bright after being cleaned and renovated by the leaders.

But the buildings in this community still look as dilapidated and dilapidated as they did then.

This is not surprising.

Because these buildings, including the dilapidated apartment building where Levi once rented, were all built spontaneously by the land owners during the Piltover plutocratic period.

The Zaun community used to be the most obscene slums. The apartment buildings built here, after so many years of use with little maintenance, certainly would not be very beautiful.

So at first glance, it still looks like a rot in the city. It's just not as chaotic, dirty and dirty.

"It's still pretty much the same as before..." Levi muttered.

"Yeah, but it's going to be different soon," Janna reminded.

The old apartment buildings in the Zaan community that were built in the old era have a very small designed living area per household, and are simply not suitable for human habitation in terms of comfort.

Therefore, the Wind Leader Association has long planned to completely demolish and renovate a series of substandard "pigeon cage" apartments, including the Zaun community.

It's just that the housing resources in Zaun were too tight before, and construction investment was mainly concentrated in Zaun, and no attention was paid to the renovation of the old city in Piltover.

But now, the upper floors of those old apartments have been painted with eye-catching white paint with a big word - "Demolish".

This indicates that this community is about to be completely reborn. It will be used to build more livable low-rent housing and low-cost housing to improve people's living environment.

"We have achieved some results." Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but feel happy.

Although leaders still face many problems, they have at least made the world a better place.

"At least, when outsiders come to Picheng to work hard now, they don't have to be like Lina and I, two people crowded into a 5-square-meter hut like a pigeon cage... Haha." Levi smiled deeply.

"Um..." Janna didn't continue.

As a goddess who listens to the prayers of millions of people, she knows thousands of times more than Levi.

It's just that Li Wei couldn't handle so many things by himself, and the president couldn't personally take care of every corner of the grassroots level, so she didn't tell him about the various problems she noticed. Otherwise, he would have listened for ten days

For ten nights, I couldn’t finish listening to it.

"What?" Levi was still puzzled.

I just heard a burst of excited shouting: "President Levi! Hey! It's President Levi!"

I saw that it was in the shabby apartment building where he lived, and even in the 5-square-meter rental house where Levi died suddenly.

A teenager was crowding in front of the narrow window of the rental house, waving to him excitedly.

Levi: "..."

"President!" The young man waved to Levi with admiration.

He tried hard to lean out of the window and get closer to the idol flying in mid-air.

But the window of the rental house was so narrow that he couldn't even squeeze his head out.

Helpless, the young man could only say to Li Wei through the small window like a bird trapped in a cage: "President! Why are you here?"

Levi: "..."

He looked the young man up and down.

He is very similar to the original Levi, with black hair and eyes, a solid but thin body, and a look of exhaustion on his face, but there is more optimism and sunshine in his eyes.

"Are you an Ionian?" Levi recognized his accent.

"Yes." The young man nodded hastily: "I'm from Balu'e Province."

"How are your parents and family?"

"It's gone. It was gone when the Noxians came." He replied in a natural tone: "Without the Wind Leader, I might have died a long time ago."

"After the war, you should have been assigned fields in Balu'e, right?" Li Wei asked with concern.

"Yeah!" The young man nodded gratefully.

He said sheepishly: "It's just...it's really not profitable to farm in my hometown."

"So I rented the fields to fellow villagers in the same village and followed them to Shuangcheng to work hard."

This is not surprising. The Balue people were the first to have contact with the leaders, and they also yearned for modern life the most. Therefore, after the war, many Balue people left their hometowns and came to work in Shuangcheng.

Levi can understand this. But...

"Why do you live here?" He finally couldn't help but ask: "Aren't there public low-rent houses and low-cost houses in Shuangcheng that you can apply for? Why are you still renting here?"

The rent of low-rent housing is very low, and as long as you have a job in the Twin Cities, you can definitely afford it.

Low-cost houses are sold with 0 down payment, and the price is so cheap that it is equivalent to half sale and half free, so there is no possibility of being unable to repay the loan.

"This..." The young man hesitated.

Then he said frankly: "Public housing and resources are too scarce."

"Low-rent housing requires a lottery and low-rent housing has to be queued. How can I wait?"

The pioneers have indeed been vigorously building public housing in the Twin Cities, but plans cannot keep up with changes and design capacity cannot keep up with the surge in actual demand.

Thanks to the efforts of the Windleader Association, Runeterra has gradually become one.

Ionia opened its borders, Demacia reopened sea trade, Shurima, and the Freljord people finally moved their eyes away from the desolate deserts and ice sheets, and began to open their eyes to see the world.

As a result, Zaun and Piltover, the only modern metropolises in the world, have become the real cities that the world longs for.

Countless farmers who were liberated from the land, herdsmen who left their tribes, and slaves who regained their freedom all spent their money to buy tickets to the Twin Cities with their longing for a better life.

With the influx of so many immigrants, the public housing units built by the pioneers in the Twin Cities suddenly seemed to be stretched thin.

"But..." Li Wei couldn't help but ask: "Even if the public low-rent housing is not available, then the private rental price is not expensive, right?"

The leaders have put so many low-rent and low-cost houses on the market, so the residential property prices in the Twin Cities will certainly not be too high.

Correspondingly, the rent for privately rented houses will not be that expensive.

Li Wei paid attention to this point.

Theoretically, as long as a person can find a job in the Twin Cities and earn the legal minimum wage, he will be able to afford a small rental house with one bedroom and one living room.

"Why don't you rent a bigger house?" Levi asked.

Perhaps thinking of something, he added and asked: "To save more money?"

"Yes, yes... I'm trying to save money." The young man's eyes flickered, and his expression suddenly seemed a little unnatural.

Li Wei noticed something. This young man didn't seem to be actively lowering his living conditions just to save more money.

He immediately asked: "How much do you earn per month?"

"1,000 yuan...President."

Because the goddess Janna has proven the "credibility" of the Wind Leader with her strength, the Wind Leader directly leads Runeterra from the precious metal currency era to the credit currency era.

The 1,000 yuan the boy mentioned refers to the newly issued Blue Bird Coin of the Alliance.

This number is also the legal minimum wage standard in the Twin Cities. If converted back to silver wheels and copper dollars in the past, it is probably equivalent to several times Levi's monthly salary back then.

Although this income cannot be said to be very high, it can be regarded as an amount that allows people to live decently in the Twin Cities.

But...

"Really?" Li Wei looked at the slightly panicked young man suspiciously: "Do you really have a monthly income of 1,000 yuan?"

"I..."

"Tell the truth." Li Wei reassured: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I won't harm you."

"No..." the boy finally said: "I can't earn 1,000 a month. I only have..."

"500."

"500?" Li Wei's blood pressure soared.

"Why is there so much less?" He asked quickly: "Where do you work?"
