Infinite Secret House 21 No Such Person

Lan Xi waited for two days and finally got a reply from Bai Xiaolou.

When Tao Sui came to see him in person, he was in the hotel studying the copy of the information given by Gu Che with Xie Yunsui.

"Come in and sit down?"

Tao Sui looked at the room, which only had a bed and no stool, and said, "No, I just want to talk about the decision made by the building."

Lan Xi was too embarrassed to talk about serious matters at the door, and who knew if there were any players in the room next door?

He went downstairs and booked a large room to serve as a meeting room temporarily.

Tao Sui felt that Lan Xi was a newcomer and definitely didn't have that many lives on his hands, so he offered to pay the bill.

Lan Xi smiled and said, "I still have time to pay for an hour's room."

Tao Sui: "You're a newbie, so save up as much life time as possible. A little bit adds up to a lot. If something unexpected happens and the dungeon fails, at least you should leave some life time to be deducted."

Lan Xi: "There are more than 3,000. Is that enough?"

After hearing what he said, the owner of the building who was collecting the fees said: QAQ.

A newbie with over 3,000 lives?

Then what does it mean that I worked so hard to smuggle myself out of the building and barely achieved freedom?

Tao Sui was also silent for a moment.

Tao Sui: "Where did you get so much? Are you selling props?"

Lan Xi said generously, "My partner gave it to me."

Tao Sui became even more silent.

After walking into the conference room and closing the door, Tao Sui couldn't help but speak: "Although you can benefit a lot from having a... partner, he is a monster after all. I suggest you don't invest too much emotion in him."

Someone who was still trying to take credit for showing affection to the person on his chest: "Huh?"

"Many players in Star City are unhappy with their lives in their original worlds, or have experienced too much and suddenly lost it. These people's mental states are unstable, and your careless display of happiness will hurt them, so it's best to keep a low profile." Tao Sui reminded them lightly: "Don't repeatedly bring up the fact that you have a partner, unless you have the strength to defeat them all, or your partner can come to the player's main city to protect you."

Lan Xi and the little cat looked at each other.

Lan Xi: “…Okay.”

Tao Sui has been in Xingcheng for a long time, and Lan Xi will carefully consider his suggestions.

Tao Sui admired Lan Xi's courage to choose monsters as his targets, and was also happy that he regarded monster targets as resources for profit.

But I don’t want him to really be in love.

Love-brained people can't get far in Star City.

However, his relationship with Lan Xi has not reached that point yet. Too much is as bad as too little. He will stop at that point. The rest depends on whether Lan Xi can wake up.

He had originally intended to just come over to tell us about the decision in the building and then leave, but since the meeting room was already open, Tao Sui decided to say a little more.

"We currently have three managers in our building, and twelve high-level players who have completed more than twenty dungeons... and these are the ones who are still alive. Major decisions in the building are generally made by us through voting."

Lan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are Gu Che and Gu Miaoyang considered high-level players?"

Tao Sui: "They are still short of three copies each."

Lan Xi understood, that means it doesn’t count.

Moreover, Tao Sui was willing to sit down and chat, and even revealed the internal situation of Baixiao Building. Obviously, the final result was good.

Tao Sui had no intention of trying to arouse people's emotions or keep them in suspense.

When they heard that there was a stable channel to obtain props, five players expressed their support before any detailed explanation was given.

The further they progressed, the more they experienced various dungeon games and felt the sudden malice of dungeons, and the more they realized the importance of props.

The props in Baixiao Building, regardless of their quantity or variety, could not give them a sense of security.

The items in the hands of high-level players, apart from those obtained from completing dungeons themselves, many of the others were bought from auction houses.

I'm almost becoming the auction house's top VIP customer.

Tao Sui and the other two managers naturally tried to find ways to keep the people, and using props to keep them was obviously the least wrong option.

Several people asked about the source.

Tao Sui did not reveal Lan Xi's situation truthfully, but embellished it by saying that his newly recruited players could go to the secret house in the game to make purchases on a regular basis, and the price was to exchange them for copy intelligence data.

"As for the information, it's all circulated outside. It's better than risking your life to exchange it."

"I got a pass and went in to take a look. The props inside are all very practical, there is no garbage. However, the worst props will cost you a lot of lives, so it's best to save them."

"I agree to exchange data for props. If the data is insufficient, I'll open a new one. As long as the props are sufficient, I'll provide them."

…

The attitudes of advanced players are surprisingly very favorable.

Tao Sui thought about it and understood.

I have died once, and I have been struggling to destroy the world for more than five months. Here, everything is empty, and the most important thing is to survive.

It means that many things are not worth caring about, and the only things that matter are those that are self-interested.

Baixiaolou's intelligence information = anyone can use it = it's not mine

Props = I can use = my stuff

It is clear at a glance which is more important.

The two managers were more cautious. One of them asked, "The Secret House places so much importance on intelligence. Could it be that the replica information is more important than the props there?"

Tao Sui replied: "According to the information I have received, the secret house not only trades props, but also buys and sells intelligence."

"Then we shouldn't sell the information. Otherwise, wouldn't that only increase the importance of the secret room?"

Tao Sui was also worried about this at first.

But he later thought that the information about the Puppet Theater was revealed to Lan Xi by the Secret House, but not by Bai Xiaolou, which meant that the Secret House had other sources of intelligence.

Not only that, those individual players can also exchange life time by selling information.

In time, the information obtained by the Secret House will become beyond the reach of Baixiaolou.

At that time, if Bai Xiaolou wanted to cooperate again and use intelligence information as bargaining chips, it would no longer be enough.

Opening a new dungeon is a big problem. Bai Xiaolou has been guarding his old capital for a long time and wants to switch to buying and selling props, but his subordinates have been stuck in regular dungeons.

If you don't seize this opportunity, you will most likely be lost in the Star City, replaced by the auction, the secret house, and the latecomers.

After he finished expressing his thoughts, the two managers were silent for a long time.

"Your proposal is unanimously approved." Tao Sui looked at Lan Xi and asked, "Can we discuss how many items can be exchanged for one instance of dungeon data?"

Lan Xi shook his head: "One item can be exchanged for how much copy data."

Tao Sui: "...the secret house can generate a steady stream of income by repeatedly selling the same dungeon materials, but most of the props are disposable and will be gone once they are used up!"

Lan Xi simply said, "During the two days you were making your decision, the Secret House obtained another forty-eight copies of the information."

The speed of obtaining the copy information was so terrifying that Tao Sui couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Lan Xi did not give in at all. In terms of scarcity, props are more important.

Those were all monsters that Xie Yunsui found personally, fought with them personally, and then reproduced them based on those props.

It is a little more difficult to obtain information, so it cannot be sold at a low price.

In the secret room, a prop could be sold for hundreds of dollars, while the acquired intelligence could only be bought for a few dozen dollars, so the value was not equal.

Tao Sui argued with him for a long time, and even renewed the use of the conference room. Finally, he bargained to 1 for 3 - one prop for three copy materials.

Baixiaolou's century-old foundation was only exchanged for a hundred props.

There was no light in Tao Sui's eyes, and he felt much more mature.

He had to go back and report the situation, and try to gather the types of props that everyone wanted for Lan Xi.

Lan Xi consoled him from behind, "Manager Tao, custom items are inherently more valuable than random items. Exchanging one for three is a good deal."

Tao Sui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I made this decision too impulsively. I'm sure I'll be criticized when I get back."

Lan Xi: "What's there to say? If you hesitate any longer, you might end up missing out on a few more props."

Tao Sui: "..."

Lan Xi will continue to work in Bai Xiao Lou in the future, so of course he cannot offend Bai Xiao Lou too much.

He took out five Secret House passes and smiled sweetly, "As a member of the Kaixin Department, I'm of course still thinking about our Baixiao Building. From now on, players in the building will get a 20% discount on all items purchased in the Secret House. Of course, you don't have to bother collecting passes from the market anymore, I'll provide them directly."

Tao Sui stared at the five passes with his eyelashes drooping.

Lan Xi said, "I stole some from the secret house last time. I didn't get much. I'll try to get more when I go to the dungeon this week."

Tao Sui held the pass in his hand and coughed lightly: "Gu Che just asked for a pass to enter the dungeon as soon as possible, so I didn't refuse it."

Lan Xi was surprised: "He wants to enter the dungeon alone?"

"Well, he said he wanted to go to the secret house to buy a prop." Tao Sui revealed lightly: "He also chose a battle royale game with a short dungeon time. He will go there as soon as he gets the pass."

There probably isn't any item on the market that can resolve Gu Miaoyang's negative buff, so he has to go to the secret house to buy the item.

Escape games are all about risking your life, the only advantage is that they are short in time, and Gu Che can really make up his mind to do so.

However, only in this way can I come back as soon as possible to give the props to Gu Miaoyang so that she won't miss this week's dungeon game.

After Tao Sui left, Lan Xi slowly returned to his room.

Half leaning against the headboard, he picked up the kitten and looked it in the eye: "We should soon know what types of props the players like best."

Xie Yunsui had become more accustomed to his second identity as a kitten, and sat down leisurely in his arms: "Thank you for your hard work."

Lan Xi smiled and said, "That's nothing. I just talked a lot, but you are working non-stop in the secret room."

"With the little bee as my little helper, I'll just fire some weapons and practice with my props."

Lan Xi was about to pick up the copy of the information Gu Che had given her to continue studying when she suddenly heard Xie Yunsui say sternly, "Xiao Xi, please help me find some information on Yin Hui."

"Hmm?" Lan Xi suddenly stood up. "What's wrong?"

"Xia Shi is here again."

He followed the players in the new copy and entered the secret house again.

He also came in when he was at the Puppet Theater for the first time, but there was no transaction.

This time his target was precise, and he asked as soon as he arrived if there was any information about Yin Hui.

Lan Xi quickly arrived at Bai Xiao Building and went straight upstairs to find Tao Sui: "Manager Tao, I need the information of a player."

Seeing his serious expression, Tao Sui didn't ask any more questions: "Who?"

"Yin Hui."

Tao Sui clicked on the database and replied after a while: "There is no player named Yin Hui in Star City. Are you sure this name is correct?"

Lan Xi paused and asked, "Is it that it's not in Xingcheng, or is it that it's not in the database?"

"Unless he played the game solo every time and didn't interact with any other players in Star City, there wouldn't be a single name missing from the database."

Tao Sui supported his hand and said, "Either this person hasn't become a player yet, or he didn't even make it past the novice dungeon and was directly wiped out."

In the secret room, Xie Yunsui relayed the information he had obtained to Xia Shi.

Xia Shi's face turned pale for a moment: "How could that be? He used to date me often and we went to many places."

Xie Yunsui felt something was wrong.

"Xiao Xi, ask Xia Shi for me."

Tao Sui searched for it and found no such person.

"Look again. There's nothing there now, but was there before? Was there anything a long time ago?"

Tao Sui affirmed: "From the time Bai Xiao Lou was founded until now, no one, whether living or gone, has ever had this name."
