Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
When she returned to Taoyang District, there were indeed a few people watching outside the gate. Su Tao let them watch from outside and went into the house. When she pushed the door open, she saw Cen Laoer holding the door and coming out.
His left eye must have been injured, so he had a mechanical prosthetic eye installed.
"Are you the landlord here?" Cen Tianjiao frowned.
Su Tao knew that she didn't look like a rich woman, so she nodded indifferently:
"Yes, your captain has paid five days' rent for you. You should just stay here for the next few days and don't go out too much. Here's your lunch. I'll bring you food every day from now on."
Cen Tianjiao cursed, "They went to seek revenge on their own and left me behind."
After cursing, he looked around but couldn't find a table, so he just finished his meal while standing.
"Just throw it in the bag after you finish eating."
Cen Tianjiao nodded and asked her, "How old are you? Where are your parents?"
Su Tao said expressionlessly: "When they grow up, they are all dead."
Cen Tianjiao said no more. There were many people who lost both their parents in the last days.
"Is he a mutant?"
Su Tao looked at him: "Ordinary people."
He frowned immediately: "You have no parents, and no strength, how did you protect yourself?"
Owning such a large piece of land and these houses is like possessing a treasure.
No one came to kill people and seize land.
Su Tao understood what he meant and said:
"What? You want to kill me here and occupy this place? Forget it. If you come here and cause any conflict, you will be thrown out."
She had already set up a ban on harming the landlord and fighting on the system control panel.
Those who violate the rules will be teleported directly and punished with electric shocks.
And she also has the right to kick out tenants who owe rent.
Cen Tianjiao: "I just want to remind you."
Su Tao nodded: "Thank you, I'll give you the access control for the main door, and it will automatically demagnetize when the rent is due."
In fact, she knew that he was just giving her a good reminder, otherwise she would have done it long ago.
I stayed in my room for the entire afternoon to familiarize myself with the system and rules. Just as I was about to go to sleep at night, Shi Zijin and his group came back.
Two team members were slightly injured, but the captain Shi Zijin had his right hand broken and appeared in front of her covered in blood.
Su Tao's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Shi Zijin shook his head, his face calm: "It's okay."
Su Tao was numb, and her entire arm was broken at the shoulder. How could she say that nothing was wrong?
Shi Zijin took out a paper bag with his left hand, opened it and found a green crystal core inside. He threw it to Cen Tianjiao with one hand:
"I've avenged Achi. You hand this in tomorrow and let the old leader review it. I'll go to Achi's house and apologize. It was my fault as captain that I failed to protect him. I'll give his family an explanation."
Cen Tianjiao hummed twice and turned away with red eyes.
That evolved zombie was probably a new one, and its data had not been entered yet. Its abilities were strange and its lethality was extremely great.
Even with the captain's strength, it still crippled one of his hands, which shows how dangerous it is.
The price of revenge is too high.
Su Tao felt bad, but at the same time she admired Shi Zijin from the bottom of her heart.
Everyone rested for a while, then sat in the empty living room chatting and waiting for dawn.
Su Tao was no longer sleepy and chatted with a group of men about all sorts of things. She actually made a few more friends.
Shi Zijin never participated in conversations. He sat aside, wiping the silver pistol in his hand, reserved and calm.
When they had almost finished talking, he asked Su Tao alone: "Is anyone currently living in the room on the right?"
Su Tao immediately perked up: "No, the configuration of this room is much better, but it is only for short-term rental, 4000 federal coins for 15 days, no contribution points required."
As he said that, he opened the door for Shi Zijin and his teammates to see.
Cen Tianjiao looked around and said with some resentment:
"We're both single rooms, but why is there only a sleeping bag and a bucket in the room I'm staying in? Do I look like I'm really short of money?"
Su Tao said awkwardly, "Isn't it because we were short of money before you came? I'll arrange it for you when your lease is up."
Shi Zijin: "Then keep this room on the right for me. I'll bring people over to live here in a few days."
As he said this, he transferred 4,000 federal coins as if he was afraid that someone would snatch them away.
Su Tao looked at the numbers that arrived in an instant, swallowed her saliva, and then looked at Shi Zijin, as if she saw her parents who provided her with food and clothing.
"Then I'll keep the room for you. If you don't bring anyone to stay in three days, I'll only refund you 3,000, okay?"
Shi Zijin, who was very wealthy, said: "No problem. If there are any more rooms later, let me know and book them all. I have many brothers."
The teammates felt warm in their hearts.
"If you have any problems, you can come to Dongyang Pioneer Army to find me, and I will solve it for you." Shi Zijin added.
Su Tao was stunned. Was this a promise to protect her?
Su Tao felt complicated and a little sad.
She didn't know why, but she knew that Shi Zijin was not the kind of person who only talked big like her father.
If there is something difficult to deal with, he will definitely help her solve it.
No wonder these players who look like tough guys trust him so much.
All teammates immediately turned to show their goodwill to Su Tao:
"Little boss, when you have a house, please leave a letter for us brothers. Please keep your contact information. If you need us in the future, don't hesitate to ask!"
Su Tao accepted the contact information and promises of each of them, and it seemed that she had accidentally gained a lot of thighs to hug.
"Thank you." She rubbed her nose.
Shi Zijin rarely smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, I want to ask those who have signed up for the Pioneer Army, can they not go?"
Su Tao really didn't want to go.
She has no strength and no special abilities, so if she goes there she will only hinder the pioneer army.
Besides, Taoyang's house also needs her to take care of it.
Shi Zijin frowned: "According to the rules, this is not allowed."
Su Tao's face suddenly turned bitter.
Li Ronglian signed up without her knowledge, and by the time she found out, it was too late.
"Have you signed up?" Shi Zijin asked disapprovingly.
To be honest, the pioneer army did not want a weak little girl, as she would either be a burden or die.
Su Tao nodded stiffly, looking like a bitter gourd in the world.
"If you don't go, you'll have to pay a fine, and a family member will have to take your place. But if you're alone and you've paid the full amount, the higher-ups won't make it difficult."
Su Tao scratched her head and said, "I'm sorry. I lied to you when I said my parents were both dead. In fact, they are still alive, but they treated me very badly, so I said they were dead and I planned to not recognize them for the rest of my life. But they didn't tell me and signed me up for the Pioneer Army."
Shi Zijin immediately understood that the parents didn't want the little girl to live at all.
There are actually parents like this.
He frowned and said:
"Then how about this? Go to the base's talent management center, separate as an adult, explain the situation, and say I was the introducer. They won't make things difficult for you. Your parents will still have to pay and send people."
Su Tao's eyes lit up: "Is it still possible?"
Having been locked up at home for a long time, she doesn't understand a lot of social common sense.
Li Ronglian even wished she knew less so that she could be more easily controlled.
Shi Zijin nodded: "Sure, this way you don't have to join the army, and you don't have to pay a fine."
Su Tao was very grateful: "Thank you so much, I'll give you a 20% discount on the room across the street."
Shi Zijin was amused: "Your way of showing gratitude is to give others a rent discount?"
Su Tao was embarrassed: "I don't have anything else to show for it."
Shi Zijin felt a little more pity.
As soon as the sun rose, Shi Zijin and his group left.
Su Tao did not delay at all and went straight to the Talent Management Center, showed her identity card, and reported Shi Zijin's name.
"Captain Shi's friend, we've fully understood the situation. He did register for someone else without permission. This is absolutely not allowed in Dongyang. We will follow up and take punitive measures. Don't worry."
In less than half an hour, he separated himself from the Su family and set up his own business.
Su Tao smacked her lips, realizing for the first time the convenience of human relations.
When I was a child, I came here with Li Ronglian to do some business. The staff took three months to give the results of a simple matter.
Su Tao couldn't help but think more about it. It seemed that Shi Zijin was not an ordinary captain of the pioneer army.
But she is not very curious and will not take the initiative to explore other people's privacy.
If Shi Zijin wanted to tell her, he would tell her naturally. If he didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask any more questions.
Now that her big wish has been resolved, she just wants to go home and spend money!
Buy a bed! Buy a bathroom!
