Chapter 152 Safe House

As an SS-level monster, Liuliu holds a towel in each hand.

It walked past the players, bringing with it an explosive pressure.

In the courtyard where the cold wind was blowing, everyone who had just climbed out of the water was holding towels and mechanically wiping their bodies.

After making sure that no new players appeared, Liu Liu moved the door back to the hall.

Everyone had a lot to say, but soaking in cold water in the middle of winter was too scary, and a very threatening monster had just passed by. After hearing Xu Zhiyan's answer, no one spoke anymore.

An eerie silence permeated the courtyard.

Xu Zhiyan swung his tail and felt a little cold. He came out of the room only a little earlier than the other players, and now he could hardly stand the wind.

"Everyone, sit down. Aren't there small stools here? It's not easy to escape alive. I'll pour everyone a cup of hot water and pay for it! The person in charge of the safe house hasn't come out yet, so relax."

Looking around, he comforted the players while thinking about the reconstruction plan.

As the number of copies with safe houses increases, we still have to find a way to open up new copy docking scenarios.

It’s not that the players can’t let go.

The monsters in the safe house are getting higher and higher in level. When they are in full form, the area they occupy is too large. The body of Liuliu alone has filled the area near the door.

After glancing at the monster, Xu Zhiyan said nothing.

The sensible monsters immediately brought over a thick blanket to highlight their status as SVIP customers.

Jiang Huai Que was the first to react.

With his hair full of fancy corals, he approached Xu Zhiyan under the gaze of everyone and the monsters, and spoke in a very low voice.

"Fuck you, Xu Bapi, what the hell happened to you? Why have you changed? Are you possessed by a monster?" He just noticed that there was something wrong with the appearance of Xu Zhiyan in front of him, and after looking at him for a long time, he realized that the other person had become younger!

"...You are the one who is possessed by the monster." Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched.

However, he certainly couldn't hide the fact that he was ageing backwards, so he simply explained, "The sacrifices didn't stop after I fell into the water, and I was almost drained dry. Fortunately, I encountered a time turbulence, but when I found the safe house, the time turbulence happened to be stuck at this time."

Jiang Huaique was stunned for a moment, then nodded with some emotion.

"Your damn luck didn't keep you stuck at eighty? Can it make you younger?"

I don’t understand how weak my 18-year-old teammates are, and I even think that Xu Zhiyan has gained by becoming younger.

"Eighty years old? Then you have to call me grandpa when we meet?" Xu Zhiyan gathered the blanket to calm himself down.

Damn, this mermaid's health is really not good. She didn't even cry tears into pearls as she said. She is obviously a sea fish, but she is not cold-resistant at all and needs to keep warm. She shivers when the wind blows.

Jiang Huaique rolled his eyes after hearing this, but when he learned that his teammates were fine, his expression relaxed a lot.

The conversation between the two eased the tense atmosphere, and the other players also recovered from the shock.

Because the safe house owner's house is connected to the mermaid cruise copy, blue water light is emerging above the yard at this moment, and the strange coexistence of the sun and the moon is looming in the waves.

Seeing that there were indeed only a few guarding monsters around, the players finally confirmed that they had really left the dungeon alive and entered the safe house.

There were a total of ten players in this batch. With Xu Zhiyan's previous preparation, the safe house system popped up in time after the players' emotions stabilized and initiated a shared broadcast in the brain to everyone.

[Ding! Welcome to the safe house!]

[Safe House System is at your service!]

[The basic requirements have been sent to your panel, please check it yourself.]

In the past, the safe houses in the dungeons have already existed. Players who want to escape from the dungeons only need to find the safe house, pay money and hand in props to get survival time.

Someone opened the panel and found that there were only a few basic information written on it.

【Please follow the safe house rules】

[Human players are prohibited from killing each other in the safe house. 】

[Players are only allowed to move within the courtyard, and live streaming has been closed. ]

[Here, your panel data will be slowly restored. ]

The system cleverly cuts off the back part.

After all, the ultimate goal of these players trapped in the dungeon is to leave the dungeon, not to survive.

[Since we have not yet learned how much money it will cost to open the door to the real world or shell from the safe house, the person in charge has already communicated with the players, please be patient.]

[As for the huge wave just now, it is a player capture special effect given to player Xu Zhiyan after he recharged and became an SVIP customer.]

After saying that, the safe house system pretended to be dead on the spot, leaving the home court to its host.

Everyone had already accepted that they had successfully entered the safe house, and turned to look at the golden-tailed mermaid who had picked up the potato chips again, with mixed feelings.

It turns out that the huge wave just now was caused by Xu Zhiyan?

He failed to stop the Sea God's ritual, which resulted in the failure of the mission and he was left in the copy. It would be a lie to say that he didn't hate Xu Zhiyan.

Even though they knew that the other party had become a mermaid and were assigned such a task by the system, they were forced to stand on the opposite side of everyone. However, the players have long been accustomed to preferring the death of a friend to the death of the poor, so who can really think about the problem from the perspective of others?

But now after hearing what the safe house system said, they were actually brought here by Xu Zhiyan...

Xiaoyi shook off the water on his body, barked and wanted to jump to the ground, but Jinsheng grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him back into his arms: "Don't run around, these monsters are very strong, they will eat ten puppies like you in one bite."

"Woof woof!" Xiaoyi was very unconvinced.

Unlike other players who are nervous and have complicated emotions, Jin Sheng, as an intuitive player, always has an inexplicable trust in Xu Zhiyan.

Especially now, he saw his teammate lying on a chair, eating potato chips and arguing with Jiang Huaique, not in a hurry at all, and he was completely relieved as well.

Xu Zhiyan has already obtained the ins and outs of various situations on the water surface from Jiang Huaique.

"What? There's actually a notice?"

He paused from crunching his potato chips, shocked.

In the past, when an unsealed safe house was found, the dungeon would often have entered its final stages, and there was no way to tell whether the player would be notified if the safe house had been found. The only time the player was notified in advance was in the Ghost Story District, and I don’t know if it was because an incomplete safe house was found, but there was no reminder for all players at that time.

"If I had known there would be a reminder, I would have rested longer." He sighed and leaned back on the stool, unwilling to move.

Jiang Huai's eyebrows twitched and he said in a dissatisfied voice: "Rest a little longer? I'm really afraid that if you wait any longer, these players will rush up and tear me apart."

Xu Zhiyan waved his hands after hearing this: "Impossible. There is a safe house notice with my name on it. They will have to wait for half a day, not to mention half an hour. It will be difficult for them to tear you apart."

He thought there would be no clues after finding the safe house, so he arranged the tasks in a hurry and was forced to get up after only half an hour of sleep.

Although the players around seemed to be talking about their own things, everyone was listening attentively to what was happening over here with Xu Zhiyan. Seeing that he was also shocked when he heard the broadcast, everyone felt a little relieved.

Otherwise, this guy's ease really makes people uneasy. I always feel like I'm being cheated. And what the hell is that 1.5 million recharge before?

The next second, Jiang Huaique expressed everyone's thoughts.

"Xu Baopi, so what the hell is this recharge?" Jiang Huaique's heart trembled when he heard the 1.5 million.

"You would recharge 1.5 million in a place like this? That's 1.5 million points! You are really fucking rich. I have never seen 1.5 million points before!" He almost fainted when he thought of this number.

Jinsheng dragged over a small stool, reached out and grabbed a handful of potato chips to feed Xiaoyi, and he also pricked up his ears like everyone else.

Xu Zhiyan glanced around to make sure everyone's attention was on him, and then he explained loudly: "It's a long story. I don't know if you have ever entered a safe house in a dungeon. This is also my first time entering from a dungeon, but Anonymous gave me a lot of things he bought from the safe house before."

"The news I got from Poseidon was not about a safe house, but about another world."

He used Poseidon as a shield, and the others nodded in agreement that it was reasonable.

After all, this safe house is within Poseidon's territory, so it's normal for Poseidon to have the coordinates!

"The Sea God didn't lie to me. He said that as long as I help him complete the sacrifice, he will lead me to open the door to another world... In fact, at the beginning, I was thinking, if we can really enter another world, can we get out of the game?"

After he said this, all the players present fell silent.

Out of the game.

What a great temptation.

You have to enter the horror dungeon every once in a while. Even if you postpone the time to the longest, you still have to enter once every thirty days. Minus the time spent in the dungeon, you have to enter at least eleven times a year.

The dungeon is extremely dangerous. Even if you only enter a low-level dungeon each time, if after a long time, the dungeon no longer offers the option of a low-level dungeon, players will be forced to enter a high-level dungeon.

If we can really get rid of the system completely...

Everyone instantly understood Xu Zhiyan's thoughts, and also understood why he risked not being able to leave the copy and desperately completed the sacrifice to help the Sea God.

Returning to the path of normal people and ending the life on the edge of death is a huge temptation for players.

The light of the sun and the moon shone through the light blue water waves and illuminated the players. Perhaps because this reason was too empathetic, the players' hostility towards Xu Zhiyan decreased a lot.

Xu Zhiyan heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that the players' eyes were no longer poisonous as if they wanted to twist his head off.

Harmony brings wealth in business.

He must stand on this side of the safe house. If others act on impulse and insist on standing against him, the next arrangements will be difficult to carry out!

As a businessman, he always treats his first customers very well.

"The person in charge was also confused when he saw me just now. I just realized that they were not open to four-star dungeons before, but they should be open in the future."

"Do you know anything about the ghost? I haven't seen the boss of the safe house yet. The person in charge is probably going to the ghost to discuss the charging. After all, in the safe house of the ordinary copy, you have to hand in the props. I think it will cost a lot of money for the safe house to open a new door to the shell for us."

Chu Qing heard this and said timidly: "Brother Xu, did you really recharge 1.5 million?"

She simply couldn't imagine what one million points would be like!

"I'm a lucky customer of the safe house. I'll get 50 for every 100 I top up." Xu Zhiyan remained calm when talking about the recharge activity.

"However, this half-point gift for a recharge is only valid for a single recharge of one million points. I thought that if opening a door to leave the safe house requires a fee, then points will be required anyway. By the way, how much will be given for a recharge of one hundred thousand?" He asked, stroking his chin with a puzzled look.

[Spend 100,000 and get 10,000 for free~]

[Recharge points can be used in all areas of the safe house.]

The safe house system has been ready for a long time and has memorized the recharge rules by heart.

[In addition to the top-up bonus, players can enjoy a 5% discount on points purchases regardless of their level as long as they log in to the safe house.]

[Our business is very comprehensive, including customization of specific weapons and props, daily product replenishment, time consumption deduction, etc. As long as you have a recharge account, all of them can be transferred and enjoy discounts.]

I remembered what my host said, that some players here are very poor, and the system has even thoughtfully launched an installment service.

[If you don’t have money now, it doesn’t matter. Safe House has an installment recharge service.]

[For example, if you want to top up 100,000 points now, but you don’t have that much money, you can choose to give 10,000 points every month, and finish it in ten months. During this period, you can enjoy discounts, but the points you can use are the points you have already topped up. The free 10,000 points will be accumulated after all 100,000 points are received.]

There is no way. It’s not that Xu Zhiyan doesn’t want to open the advance purchase service, but the survival rate of infinite game players is indeed too low. If the overdraft is made in advance and the player dies, the account cannot be settled.

Enli is very sensitive to numbers and immediately figured out the rules and pros and cons of recharge.

At first, when Xu Zhiyan said he had recharged 1.5 million, he thought he was talking nonsense. But after all the rules were explained, he suddenly seemed to understand why Xu Zhiyan had to recharge so many points.

This person is very greedy, and this type of recharge trap is set up for these greedy people.

He smiled sarcastically, wanting to mock Xu Zhiyan for falling into the recharge trap, but suddenly felt that he should not remind him, and Xu Zhiyan deserved to be cheated.

The system said it very clearly, and Chen Zhen understood it. She carefully asked her teammates: "Lili, how much should we top up? Should we ask if there are any spots left for the one million top-up bonus? Let's pool our money and top up one."

After finding out that she could only get 10,000 in return for a 100,000 deposit, she was very envious of Xu Zhiyan for getting the chance to get 50 in return for a 100-dollar deposit.

"Are you crazy? Want to charge one million?"

Enli, who had just been mocking Xu Zhiyan in his heart, choked up, glared at his teammates angrily, then looked around and found that all the other players were ready to make a move. He was a little confused.

#Because I didn’t fall into the consumption trap and didn’t fit in with others#

"Anyway, everyone, be prepared to spend money. I think it will cost a lot of money to leave, so it's better to top up 100,000 points. The person in charge hasn't come out yet, and there are other things for sale here. Anyway, why don't you take a look first?"

Seeing that players were already looking forward to recharging, Xu Zhiyan immediately started the next step of the plan - demonstrating the advantages of recharging.

The items in the safe house have a slight price advantage over the system mall. The only drawback is that they cannot be purchased at any time and must be found in the copy.

If everyone really recharges their points, then every time they find a safe house, they will definitely make a round of revenge purchases. The more they buy, the more discounts they get. When they taste the sweetness of the discounts, they may even make subsequent recharges.

After the hint was given, Liu Liu immediately understood and took out a new display board with items marked with prices.

In particular, the free hot soup and sugar cubes can restore physical and mental strength, and the price is not high, so you can stock up some and take them as physical strength medicine.

Seeing that the players had already started to think about what to buy, Xu Zhiyan felt regretful.

He was still too anxious. If he had known that he could find the safe house and complete the entire copy, he would have asked Jiang Huaique to hold on for a while while he upgraded the safe house first.

The next level seems to unlock other supplies!

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

Unlike the human players who were hesitating and struggling in the yard, the monsters in the safe house were busy.

In the hall, the last monster sent into the copy to clean up the battlefield fled from the Mermaid Cruise Ship copy in a panic, fearing that its tail would be caught by the closed door.

After Liu Liu moved the door back, Qu Ji arranged for the monsters that could swim to search for the remaining props in the Poseidon's territory.

Although the mermaids in the copy have turned into ashes, it’s good to salvage some supplies!

Lao Yang was assigned to organize Yaya's backpack. A sea fish that was thrown over bounced up and almost hit its face.

"Why are you catching fish? Are you looking for props?" It hurriedly moved the duck backpack beside it to the side, glared at the monster that threw the fish, and couldn't help complaining.

The little crisp bone that had already resumed working condition had been put together. The big white snake, who was dragged into the hall with sleepy eyes hanging around its neck and didn't know what was going on, was holding a notebook and writing and drawing, and together with Lao Yang, he counted the things Xu Zhiyan had just brought out of the copy.

Seven or eight DuckDuck backpacks were all stuffed full of canned vegetables and everything.

Perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry when packing, Xu Zhiyan did not carefully judge whether these things were edible for humans, and packed them all back in one go.

A sprouted potato rolled out of the backpack, and its slender branches instantly turned into sharp thorns, turning into the appearance of a sea urchin, bouncing and about to run away. The next moment, it was grabbed by the sticky monster, stuffed into its mouth, and began to chew it.

“This, this… is delicious!!”

After the bloated monster finished eating, he slurped his saliva, licked his tongue and looked at the other sprouting potatoes, hoping that more would jump out.

Although there are some things that players cannot eat, monsters don't care. They eat everything. And the snail housekeeper said that they can eat things that are not suitable for human consumption when taking inventory.

Seeing a sea urchin disguised as a potato being eaten, the other monsters who were helping to take inventory heard that there were things here that were not suitable for human consumption, so they also stretched their heads over to see if there were any local specialties that they could steal.

The remaining sprouted potatoes that rolled out slowly retracted their sharp thorns and pretended to be dead.

Qu Ji was flipping through a pile of account books in his hand, and from time to time he leaned over the door and looked out into the yard, waiting for Xu Zhiyan's signal.

The ghost stood in front of the low table, looking at the busy monsters.

The main hall of the Yunshan old house is large enough that the monsters only crowd into the area near the door, isolating the area near the fireplace where ghosts and gods carry out daily activities, forming a vacuum zone.

He didn't know if it was the monsters' actions and joy that conveyed this, but he always felt that he should do something.

Looking down at his fingers that were so pale without a trace of blood, the ghost suddenly remembered that Xu Zhiyan had called him a vase before... Well, although his successor later said that he actually liked vases very much, everyone is so busy, it seems that he should also do something to help?

The sound of chains colliding could be heard.

The monsters heard the ghosts speaking.

“What can I do?”

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, his voice was a little casual and elegant.

However, unlike the ghosts and gods who thought they had contributed, the monsters froze suddenly when they heard these words, and all of them became furious.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghosts and gods saw the happy and busy monsters. They all quickened their movements, shook their heads like rattles, and worked nervously with their eyes wide open.

#Help! The boss suddenly wants to help with the work. Is he dissatisfied with our poor performance? #

#It’s over, it’s over, if I get caught slacking off, will I die? #

Looking at the monsters in the safe house that suddenly accelerated, He felt a little strange.

But after seeing that Qu Ji just said in a panic that they could do it, the ghosts and gods simply stopped interfering.

He lifted one side of the talisman, and his golden pupils looked at the yard through the door.

His mermaid was talking nonstop to fool all the players. She didn't look as listless as before, and became very energetic when talking about making money.

Qu Ji finally got the signal.

It didn't show its face very often before, and there are many similar models in the game. In addition, after arriving at the safe house, its whole temperament has changed a lot, so it is not afraid of being recognized by players after it opens its complete form.

With Xu Zhiyan's previous preparation, Qu Ji's job became very simple. He only needed to explain the specific fees and then collect the money.

"It takes one million points to open a new door from the safe house to the shell."

After saying that, Qu Ji observed the different expressions of the players.

Including Xu Zhiyan, there are a total of ten players here.

If ten people share the cost, then each person will need to pay an additional 100,000 just to get back to the shell.

After seeing the items for sale in various safe houses just now, the excited players felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on them. Their expressions varied, especially Lu Yaoling.

She already owed Xu Zhiyan 8,500 points, and even if she killed her now, she wouldn't be able to get 100,000 points.

Moreover, the monsters here all look very scary and intimidating, so no one dares to think about buying on credit.

On the contrary, Enli and Shen Zhen both looked pretty good.

Enli even breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's much cheaper than I thought." This is equivalent to buying a player's life, and 100,000 points per individual is really not a lot.

Xu Zhiyan had expected this situation. He looked around and unexpectedly found that the quality of players in the four-star copy was much higher. There was no saintly player who jumped out to morally blackmail him and asked him to pay the full amount if he had money. It was so normal that it was surprising!

He patted his tail and began to perform a duet with Qu Ji.

"Um... Mr. Manager, I think it's a bit unreasonable for ten of us to bear the one million points bill."

Qu Ji kept a straight face and said nothing.

The threatening limbs behind it make it look like it is not easy to negotiate with.

Jiang Huai Que glared at his teammates and anxiously tried to stop them: "Are you crazy to bargain with them? This monster is not of low level. The rules here only say that human players cannot attack each other. They made their own rules. What if it hits you?"

The others also became nervous.

Xu Zhiyan himself didn't care at all. He grabbed a handful of potato chips and explained, "If you were as rich as me and became an SVIP, you wouldn't be afraid of it either."

The other players were silent after hearing this.

This sentence makes so much sense that it is impossible to refute it?

Damn it, is this the power of money? !

The monster in front of him was silent at first, and then, as if thinking of Xu Zhiyan's noble status, his limbs trembled and he asked, "What do you think is unreasonable?"

Xu Zhiyan glanced at the players, put down the snacks, took the towel handed over by Liuliu, wiped his fingers, and then spoke slowly.

"First of all, I want to know if this door is a one-time thing once it's opened."

"It will exist forever." Qu Ji answered honestly.

“Isn’t it a bit too much to ask ten of us to pay for the entire cost of this reusable door?” As soon as Xu Zhiyan finished speaking, the other players wanted to agree.

But after they caught a glimpse of Qu Ji and Liu Liu's ferocious appearance, they chose to keep their mouths shut.

Enli was a little anxious.

He was worried that Xu Zhiyan would anger the monster in front of him, thus preventing him and Shen Zhen from leaving.

"Xu Zhiyan, you are not without money. One hundred thousand points is not a lot for you, right?"

Approaching the mermaid, Enli looked anxious and angry.

"Why are you making so much trouble about the 100,000 points? If you can't get the rest, just let them die here. Just do it yourself and don't drag Shen Zhen and me into this."

Smart people always think more.

The current standard is 100,000 per person. If he agrees and quickly earns points, then regardless of whether the others die or not, he and Shen Zhen can leave quickly without being affected. If Xu Zhiyan fails to bargain and the monster in front of him becomes angry, then they will all die.

After saying that, he ignored Xu Zhiyan and turned to the expressionless Qu Ji: "Shen Zhen and I are willing to pay 100,000 points to leave. I hope you can keep your word."

"..." Qu Ji was a little confused. Isn't this line wrong?

It didn't expect that someone would come forward to pay the money.

Although the other party's worries and selfishness were not without reason, it was still shocked by such a blatant display of contempt for other people's lives.

Xu Zhiyan was also stunned for a moment.

When he looked at Enli again, his eyes were much softer, even with a hint of tenderness.

This was the second time that Enli gave him money, and he brought Chen Zhen with him to give him double the money. He began to like Enli a little. After all, in his eyes, this kind of rich and generous creature had already left the category of players and upgraded to a boy who gave away money.

Xu Zhiyan decided to be nicer to Enli in the future.

This guy is rich and generous. If I meet him again in the future, there is a high probability that he will turn into the God of Wealth.

Qu Ji received a hint from his master and quickly swiped away Enli's 200,000 points, then asked Liu Liu to move a door leading to the shell.

The pure white door panel emits a bright white light, which is extremely holy.

When Shen Zhen was taken away, he was very dissatisfied and muttered that he had not recharged yet.

Enli's departure caused panic among the other players left behind.

Not everyone has a rich brother like the other person. For players who are still playing in four-star dungeons, it is very stressful to take out 100,000 points.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Zhiyan again.

For the first time, the players were grateful for the young man's stinginess.

Jiang Huaique wanted to say something, but he saw Xu Zhiyan speed up his speech and continue to communicate with Qu Ji.

"Now the cost is only 800,000 points left. I still stick to my idea. It is too unreasonable for the remaining eight of us to pay for these 800,000 points."

Qu Ji maintained his new persona and said nothing.

Xu Zhiyan continued in a very good mood: "Since the safe house is doing this business for the first time, can you give us a discount and change the payment method? For example, currently players don’t know that they can leave the copy from the safe house after the copy fails and is closed. If the safe house wants to make this money, it must promote it, right?"

This was his plan.

He knows very well how much money the players here have in their pockets, and it is better to make long-term plans than to make a one-time profit.

"We still have the mutation on us, and the players must know that the instance is closed, so we will definitely be watched when we return to the shell."

It's so refreshing to escape death.

"We can sign a contract with the safe house and help promote it after we return to the shell... so can you give it to us for free?"

As soon as Xu Zhiyan finished speaking, Jiang Huaique glared at him fiercely.

"Free... Xu Zhiyan is worthy of his name!" After being stunned for a moment, Lu Yaoling whispered to Chu Qing, who nodded in approval.

The remaining players also felt that Xu Zhiyan’s bargaining was too harsh, and they all expressed their willingness to help with the promotion, not for free, but at a discount.

Xu Zhiyan was helpless, waved his hand and compromised: "How about this, everyone recharge some points, you can regard it as a gift to us to waive the pass fee this time, so that we can use the points to spend."

Qu Ji glanced at his master who was shrugging, then looked at the players who were rushing to recharge, pursed his lips, and said lightly: "If everyone can do a good job of publicity, then as long as you start recharging, this opportunity to return to the shell will be given to everyone as a safe house."

The players were stunned and excited.

No one expected it to be so smooth, and when they looked at Xu Zhiyan again, their eyes were filled with gratitude.

Xu Zhiyan smiled and relaxed.

He had no intention of asking players to pay.

This time, the investment has been made back by recovering the complete slice of Poseidon. If it weren't for the need to unseal the slice, the players wouldn't have collectively failed in the mission.

Although people say that he is a liar and a profiteer, Xu Zhiyan has his own bottom line in doing things.

The remaining players are all living a hard life, especially the likes of Lu Yaoling and Chu Qing, who can't even afford a few points. They are unwilling to let such players who are trying hard to survive bear a debt of 100,000 points.

Of course, this does not include people like Enli who are easily taken advantage of.

Xu Zhiyan was a little surprised when he glanced at the players in the yard who started to recharge after escaping death.

He understood that Chu Qing was wavering because she had no money, but how come even Jiang Huaique couldn't help wanting to recharge?

But what he said before about recharging one million points has already been decided, and he can't ask his teammates to stop recharging now.

Xu Zhiyan swiped the panel casually.

Glancing at the players who were recharging, I discovered a new business opportunity.

A player and his teammates jointly recharged 100,000 points to become VIP users. After confirming that there were discounts on the purchases and the surplus 10,000 points were credited to their accounts, the three of them began to frantically buy supplies for the safe house.

Seeing others looking over, the person who led the purchase explained in a low voice.

"The items in the safe house are cheap, and there are discounts. If you buy more, you can get free items. But not all dungeons have safe houses. We buy more, and when we encounter a dungeon without a safe house in the future, we can sell it to players at a higher price."

After listening to this, Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips and gave the three of them a thumbs up.

Awesome, so you come here to buy goods?

Seeing the free safe house specialties being sold in large quantities, Xu Zhiyan hoped that someone would soon discover what these three people were doing and learn to imitate them.

When the time comes, players will purchase goods when they find a safe house, and ship out large quantities when they encounter a copy without a safe house, forming a new industrial chain!

He could almost imagine the time when he would be able to make a fortune without having to work hard.

After more than ten minutes, the players signed an advertising agreement with Qu Ji and reluctantly left the safe house.

A blinding white light flashed.

The new doors are right around the lounge area.

Since Enli's departure had caused a sensation, the group was surrounded by onlookers as soon as they appeared.

Xu Zhiyan flipped through the panel and found that after the main system was shut down, it did not even do the reward settlement for the entire copy. He gave the panel a middle finger.

Since the system has no settlement, players must maintain the current form and find solutions on their own.

Seeing that the others had already stuttered and started to fulfill their publicity promises, after saying goodbye to Jiang Huai and Que Jinsheng, Xu Zhiyan chose to log out of the shell.

The fish's tail was too conspicuous and he didn't want to be watched at all.

…

After logging out, I returned to the Yunshan old house again.

Xu Zhiyan established the anchor point in the hall, but he forgot that he always appeared standing before, so when he suddenly appeared, he almost fell to the ground with his tail. Fortunately, Party A was quick and quickly hugged the weak golden-tailed mermaid.

“I’m back!”

"Mr. Xu is back~"

"A great harvest! A great harvest!"

The hall full of monsters shouted happily as they went about their business.

Although no particularly powerful props were found this time, Xu Zhiyan brought back a lot of local specialties. Qu Ji just took a quick inventory and told the monsters that everyone would get at least one bag. The monsters in the safe house were very happy, as if it was New Year's Day.

Looking at the monsters' weird and ferocious smiles, Xu Zhiyan's smile froze and he withdrew his gaze.

It’s a good laugh, don’t laugh next time.

However, the illusion that the whole family was waiting for him to come home from hunting still made him feel a lot happier.

After wagging his tail, he looked up at Party A and said, "I tried to remove the shell, but the copy refused to settle. I'm afraid it's impossible to use the main system to restore it."

The others just looked a little odd at best.

At worst, you can enter the next copy despite the mutation, and then recover after the new copy is settled.

But Xu Zhiyan can't do that.

He had to make his tail disappear before entering the dungeon next time.

The ghost holding the mermaid thought for a while, looked at the still busy hall in front of him, and simply walked upstairs.

"Which room will be opened next?" He asked.

It was rare to hear ghosts and gods asking about the plan to open the rooms in the safe house. Xu Zhiyan shook his head and said, "The morgue that can save lives has been opened. There is no other demand for the time being. You can consider opening the library."

After saying that, he quickly rejected his own proposal.

"Assuming that the technology tree is lit up, the Nightmare District will need a lot of supplies. Forget it, let's wait until everything is ready."

"Open a hot spring." The ghost gave his suggestion.

[The hot spring is for improving physical fitness, and can restore the person being soaked to their peak state. If you soak for a while longer, the fish tail should be forcibly eliminated. It is very suitable for the host's current state, and not many keys are required! ] The safe house system jumped out in time and gave an expanded explanation.

Considering the limited number of keys, Xu Zhiyan did not choose to open it immediately and planned to study it further.

While talking, the two returned to the bedroom.

The ghost did not put the man down, but just looked at the bed made by the monsters, a little hesitant.

Xu Zhiyan knew what the other party was hesitating about. It was okay when the hall was full of moisture, but now that he was back in a dry and warm room suitable for human survival, he felt that he was about to dry out and crack, and he had to soak in water.

But before he could open his mouth, a layer of light blue water film appeared at the tip of the tail. Soon, this layer of water film soaked the mermaid's whole body and then disappeared at the ends of her hair.

"Fuck! Is this the power of the sea god?" Xu Zhiyan exclaimed after being moistened again.

"Speaking of which, what part is the slice this time?"

He was a little curious.

Are there any slices without entities?

The ghost paused for a rare moment and replied in a low voice: "...It's luck."

After a brief silence in the room, there was an earth-shaking laughter.

"Hahahahahahaha luck? It's actually luck?"

“I was saying! What the hell needs to be suppressed by luck? Damn, I didn’t expect it to be luck itself! You are such an unlucky guy, hahahaha!”

Xu Zhiyan was shaking with laughter, his tail swishing back and forth.

The mocked ghost sighed and held the mermaid tightly, worried that she would shake too violently and fall over.

Xu Zhiyan laughed for a full ten minutes until tears came out, and finally he had laughed enough.

He hooked the ghost's neck and reached out to look at Party A's ear, and sure enough, there were three moles on it.

"I used to hear old people say that having a mole on the ear represents extremely good fortune, but yours is completely the opposite. It must have been chopped into dumpling stuffing, right?" Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but reached out and pinched it after he finished speaking.

But compared to the slice of luck, he cared more about another point.

"What's the bait?"

I am a little concerned about the young master who is completely obsessed with sexual fetish. He has no resistance to this kind of ATM essence!

The ghost placed the mermaid on the bed and unbuttoned the first three buttons of her shirt.

Xu Zhiyan knew that the other party must have a purpose for doing this, but he did not stop him.

He felt Fang Jia's cold fingertips sliding across his chest and finally landing on his heart. In the blink of an eye, a round bead emerged from his skin.

"Pearl? This is what Xavier gave me." Xu Zhiyan widened his eyes and touched his chest.

The skin is smooth and there are no wounds.

The ghost picked up the round and plump pearl and applied a little force.

“Pah—”

The pearls shattered and turned into red liquid that splashed out.

"It's blood. It coexists with blood vessels, so after you implanted it into the blood vessels, it got a lot of information." After the ghost said this, he stood up, and the blood that had splashed out also flowed back and returned to His fingertips.

Symbiotes associated with the heart are always difficult to deal with.

"...So your brain is still there, right?" Xu Zhiyan asked in a daze.

Blood? Biopsy?

He could already sense how powerful this slice was.

The ghost was stunned for a moment, then smiled, couldn't resist the itch and pinched the mermaid's ear fins and replied: "It's still there."

The tense atmosphere just now was diluted by this tricky question.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the mermaid was a little exhausted, the ghost applied another layer of water film and left the bedroom.

Xu Zhiyan yawned and looked at the ceiling, feeling as if he had forgotten something.

He recalled the pearl that had just been crushed by Party A and turned over in his bed.

The round and radiant pearls...

Where have you seen it before?

Suddenly, he remembered.

When he was ashore, the owner of a second-hand shop once gave him a set of women's clothes.

The out-of-place high-slit dress, paired with a set of gorgeous pearl jewelry, the boss said it was sent by a weird man five years ago, and said that if he didn't come to pick it up after five years, it would belong to the boss...

Xu Zhiyan sat up suddenly, his heart pounding.

He didn't even dare to reach out and take out the set of pearl jewelry when Party A was not around.

It’s in the bag, so it should be fine...right?

Five years. If the blood had suppressed the luck many years ago, then why did he go to that dungeon again five years ago? Assuming that the dungeon was not open, there must be something wrong with the flow of time in the dungeon...

While thinking, he suddenly felt a little red in front of his eyes.

After rubbing his eyes, Xu Zhiyan realized that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, but that his room was suddenly filled with a layer of blood mist, just like the dark room on the boat.

Along with a familiar voice, two strong arms with a strong smell of blood hugged him from behind.

In a trance, he heard the crying voice of the young boy Bai Jin.

"Teacher, don't you want me anymore?"
