Chapter 62 Safe House

Xu Zhiyan wanted to explain something else.

But the player in front of him didn't give him a chance. After spitting out blood again, he completely fainted.

"...How do we calculate the money in this situation? What if he remains unconscious?" he asked the system in confusion.

[Well, we do provide free time, and in this case, we can treat the fatal injury a little bit...]

The sound of the system is getting smaller and smaller.

In the past, it didn't think there was anything wrong with treating players' fatal injuries for free. After all, players needed to be alive to trade, and this could only be considered normal consumption.

But now the safe house has a new owner.

Free rescue for fatal injuries?

Lose points and energy for welfare?

“Are we a charity?”

Xu Zhiyan shook his head, looking as if he was bleeding.

[What should we do? But if the player doesn't wake up, we can't steal/rob the points.] The system got anxious and started using random words.

"On credit, of course."

Xu Zhiyan stood up and folded his arms, glancing at the strange player who was slowly emitting white light and passively receiving treatment.

"Give him the bill."

"I care more about my human companions, so I won't make any extra money from him. I'll give him the energy needed to save his life in a 1:1 ratio according to his points."

When the system heard this, it couldn't help but feel moved.

Its host actually gave up on making a profit from the players' fatal injuries?

You have to know that in this kind of dying situation, even if the price is tripled or quadrupled, there are still countless people rushing to pay! After all, this is the money to buy life.

[Host, you are such a kind person.]

It also thought that its host would cost at least ten times as much.

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan nodded, feeling deeply saddened.

"Alas, as a human being, we should still have a conscience and do good deeds, otherwise this rubbish game will always ruin my reputation."

If the safe house's fatal injury bill is too expensive to overwhelm the players, then if the news gets out, it will definitely affect the safe house's revenue. There will always be poor players who cannot afford it and refuse to enter.

Thinking of this, he added a sentence.

"When writing the IOU, add a little bit, and you can use the labor to offset it."

The safe house is still in the infrastructure construction stage and requires a large number of players as labor, at least to complete the decoration first.

After explaining all this, seeing that the player was still lying there, Xu Zhiyan no longer had the heart to watch the live broadcast and planned to take this opportunity to upgrade the infrastructure of the safe house.

When he didn't hear the system prompt at first, he thought that the safe house was not open today, so he didn't rush to upgrade it.

[Safe House Level: 2]

[Room keys to be unlocked: 2]

[Number of skill points that can be activated: 2]

[Currently available for dungeons: ≤★★★☆]

Xu Zhiyan was surprised to find that the reward for upgrading the safe house was doubled!

And since he has successfully overturned the three-and-a-half-star copy, the safe house's open level has also been raised to three and a half stars.

However, the copy where the current safe house is located is still at the one and a half star level.

The next step is to activate the skills.

Xu Zhiyan was wavering between restoring his supplies and enhancing his condition.

Currently, all aspects of safe houses are underdeveloped, especially supply stores.

There is only one kind of candy in it, which restores 0.1 spirit value each time. If your spirit value is emptied and you want to fill it up, you have to take it with insulin!

As for the hot soup that restores life, the supply must be upgraded to level three before it can be sold.

After much thought, Xu Zhiyan decided to allocate his only two points to the supply upgrade option. After all, this was a safe house, and he had to first ensure that the players who arrived could get enough supplies.

After making his selection, he asked the system to project the new status of the safe house onto the panel and took a look.

[Safe House Level: 2]

[Supply Restoration: Level 3 (Supply Store Unlocked)]

[Status Enhancement: None]

[Special upgrade: None]

[New additions to the supply store: Sugar cubes (upgraded), stomach-warming soup unlocked. ]

Xu Zhiyan clicked the supply store button with satisfaction, and a huge translucent panel appeared in front of him.

At first, this supply store was so small that he was embarrassed to show it to the players. It was only the size of a book, with a lone candy bar lying inside.

After winning two levels in a row, the supply store finally became much larger, although there were still not many items in it.

[Name: Sugar Cube (Poor Quality)]

[Level: None]

[Type: Special Supply]

[Introduction: A low-quality candy block with a hint of saccharin. It is a specialty of the safe house. Each block you eat can increase your mental strength by 0.1 points. It has no side effects.]

[Notes: It can also be used as a normal sweetener in dungeons.]

The primary candy block is still hanging on it, and next to it, there is a new upgraded version of the candy block.

After the upgrade, the candy's notes were upgraded from poor quality to delicious, and the amount of mental power that each piece could increase was also upgraded from 0.1 to 1.

However, compared to the upgrade of candy cubes, Xu Zhiyan finally saw the stomach-warming soup he wanted.

【Name: Stomach Warming Soup (Hot)】

[Level: None]

[Type: Special Supply]

[Introduction: It tastes like pot-washing water, but is very warm. After eating, it can quickly restore physical strength, increase body temperature, and replenish blood. ]

【Notes: It just doesn’t taste good. 】

Although it is just a basic supplement and the taste is not very good, it has really good effects.

Xu Zhiyan drank a bowl of it and experienced the recovery ability. He felt that it was just an enhanced version of the recovery potion, which also had the effect of increasing body temperature. Finally, based on the price of recovery potions in the mall, he priced the stomach-warming soup at 400 points.

He hung up 100 points on the remaining upgraded candies and 10 points on the inferior candies.

The system is still praising him.

[Host! Is it so cheap? The physical recovery potion in the mall costs 500 points! We only sell it for 400? You are such a good person!]

"Well, after all, compared to pure recovery potions, the effect of our soup is still a little worse. Fortunately, there are other comprehensive status supplements." Xu Zhiyan explained.

Since the items in the safe house supply store do not require energy or money to sell after upgrading.

So he decided to take the route of small profits but quick turnover.

Finally, he held the two keys in his hand and looked at the safe house where construction was underway.

Morgue, prop upgrade area, library, shuttle room, employee upgrade area, master room, hot spring, restricted area, specimen room...

Too many rooms, too few keys.

Xu Zhiyan was in a dilemma.

Except for the monster room which is already unlocked, the rest of the rooms require at least two.

He really wanted to open the morgue.

The death rate of this game is still too high. He had only entered a low-level dungeon before, and the survival rate of players was less than half. If they made a mistake, they would be left inside.

If he leaves the two keys now and waits to find a safe house, he will be able to collect five keys.

But he was not sure whether he could find a safe house in the next copy.

Will there be safe houses in punishment dungeons?

Besides that, he really wanted to open the library; the hot springs seemed good too, the description said that soaking in them could improve physical fitness, and with his weak stamina, maybe it would be effective; the restricted area was even more outrageous, requiring ten keys, and it didn't say what the effect was...

But since it has twice as many keys as a room like the morgue, it must be very powerful.

Just when Xu Zhiyan was hesitating, not knowing whether to use up both keys first, the strange player lying at the door moved.

[Host! The player's serious injury has been repaired and he will wake up in three minutes! I have sent the bill to his system!]

The safe house system works efficiently.

"Very good." Xu Zhiyan nodded with satisfaction.

Now it seems that everyone in the safe house is on the right track, and everyone's ideas and concepts are beginning to move closer to him.

Xu Zhiyan lowered his head and opened the live broadcast room he had just watched. He tried hard to recall the name of the player in front of him and the content of this copy.

[Blood Red Town-09-Lin Shao]

Blood Red Town is a small village in a modern setting. The residents sleep during the day and go out at night. The town has everything you need, but every time the moon is full, monsters will attack...

When he took a quick glance at it, he felt that it was just a vampire and werewolf village dungeon, and he didn't see anything special about it.

But now it's different.

There is a decoration company in that town!

The boss is a fat vampire with seven or eight workers under him. One player seemed to be working for him and was sucked dry.

Xu Zhiyan touched his chin and shouted into the room: "Liuliu, come and help me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge millipede-like monster rushed out from the second-floor window and coiled in front of Xu Zhiyan, looking excited.

“Come, come!”

Liuliu was just in the monster room, enduring the envy, jealousy and hatred of other monsters. It was so cool.

Xu Zhiyan whispered a few words into Liuliu's ear and then slumped back in his chair.

Don’t you want to disbelieve it?

Then he'll just pretend.

Lin Shao woke up.

He felt that his fatal wounds seemed to have been healed a lot and he was very excited. Was this the power of the legendary safe house?

It was really too powerful, he thought he was dead this time.

However, he did not open his eyes, but still lay on the ground, because he heard the conversation between the profiteer Xu Baopi and the monster in the safe house.

"The safe house doesn't need more players. I can bring all the decoration companies in town by myself..."

It was Xu Zhiyan's voice.

Then, a sharp and terrifying voice seemed to express dissatisfaction: "No, not enough, too few, I need more workers, the person who just came in..."

Judging from the tone of voice, this should be the person in charge of the safe house.

Lin Shao thought angrily that Xu Zhiyan must want to take it all for himself, and might even want to harm him!

Sure enough, he heard Xu Zhiyan's fierce rebuttal again.

"I can do it by myself! There's no need for so many players! If you want to hire this weakling lying on the ground, he might even negotiate with you. But I'm different. I don't want anything. I just want some free supplies..."

Hearing this, Lin Shao had no idea what was going on. He gathered his strength, stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.

"I can do that too! I don't want anything! I don't even want the free supplies!"

He really didn't want to go back out there again.

Especially at night, whether it's weird villagers or monster attacks, it's too difficult...

Hearing this, the rest of Xu Zhiyan's words got stuck in his throat.

How could anyone not want free supplies?

Is he pretending too much?

Over there, Lin Shao stood up too hard and felt a little dizzy.

He was worried that the monster in the safe house would not agree, so when he saw the bill, he paid all the medical expenses immediately.

"A decorator? I will bring one to you tomorrow! Please use me!" Lin Shao looked at Liu Liu with a fiery gaze.

Liu Liu was startled by being stared at.

It could barely hold the props in its hands.

After receiving Xu Zhiyan's gaze, it shook its body and slowly moved in front of Lin Shao.

"This can modify the temporary status of monsters, allowing them to enter the safe house." As it said this, it handed a ring to Lin Shao.

Lin Shao took the prop and looked at Xu Zhiyan provocatively, as if to say, "I have seen through all your evil schemes."

“…”

Xu Zhiyan lowered his head, a little confused.

All the way back to the second floor lounge, he couldn't help but ask about the safe house system.

"Am I really too kind? Or did Lin Shao lose his mind in the dungeon?"

He had just been planning to have Liu Liu make a deal with Lin Shao, with the safe house healing all of his injuries and restoring him to his best condition in exchange for Lin Shao stealing a renovation team from the town.

As a result, this person not only paid the money himself, but also worked so actively.

[Maybe... the character created by the main system for you is too, um... um... what is that?] The system answered hesitantly.

Everyone looked down from the window and fell silent at the energetic Lin Shao.
