Within the infinite game instances, players hid in disarray, eagerly hoping to find a safe house. Here, by paying a certain reward to the ghosts and gods, they could safely pass through da...
Chapter 82 Nightmare Community
"…Are you satisfied?"
Bai Jin, who is well-capitalized in every aspect, does not feel the slightest bit ashamed of losing the competitive game.
He saw the young man in front of him with his head down, and even the skin on his neck was red, and he always felt that he should do something more.
Action is always faster than thinking.
He leaned over and kissed the other's earlobe, which was red enough to bleed.
Xu Zhiyan felt like he was going blind.
Because he was too close, his vision was completely blocked.
Now I have to face Bai Jin.
Just when he was thinking about whether Bai Jin would get angry if he pushed him away, something even more terrifying happened.
“Never touched a game before?”
"So, how much of what you say can I trust?"
The man's voice fell into Xu Zhiyan's ears.
There was no more teasing or frivolousness in his tone.
Xu Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat and he thought something bad had happened.
He was too relaxed when playing the game just now, and he gave almost nothing in order to win.
This pervert has some brains, and he has probably figured out that a lot of his previous stuff was fake.
As if to prove something.
Bai Jin reached out and touched the young man's face, patting it lightly twice.
"Why don't you dare look at me?"
"Because everything before was just an act for me, right?"
He looked at the young man's curled eyelashes trembling slightly, and recalled the past two days together.
This beautiful prey is not just a lamb as imagined.
From the very beginning of their relationship, the other party acted submissive, but when you think about it carefully, it was completely one-sided that he was giving.
A warm and safe room, delicious food, and even those orders...
The flaws come before competitive games.
'If I win and you take off all your clothes, can I exchange them for money?'
It was no coincidence that the young man in front of me asked this question.
The other party must know that he can win and want to profit from it.
Tsk, how greedy.
If he hadn't been so greedy, he might not have discovered it.
After all, when he proposed to be a painting model before, the other party did not agree. It seems that she guessed that he only paints dead people.
Bai Jin followed the clues and figured out all the connections almost instantly.
This cunning prey packaged itself with a sweet and weak character, taking advantage of his preferential treatment of the beautiful prey and gaining almost unlimited benefits from him.
That's really good.
Never in his long conscious life had he had such a novel experience of being deceived.
Prey that catches the eye are already scarce, and every one of them cries and begs for mercy before dying, with no manners at all, welcoming death like a stray dog.
Xu Zhiyan was the first prey who guessed his intentions and used them to gain benefits.
The young man suddenly stopped trembling, as if after being discovered, he decided not to continue pretending.
"You knew you were going to win, so you set me up."
"You are too greedy, little liar."
Bai Jin couldn't help but laugh softly.
Damn it, he actually felt that Xu Zhiyan was more charming than the docile lamb before.
"I have to say, you succeeded. I really fell into your trap."
After saying that, he leaned over and gently kissed the corner of the young man's lips.
However, no matter how cunning the prey is, it cannot escape...
Xu Zhiyan felt it was not so good.
He noticed that after Bai Jin said "Are you pretending for me?", he seemed to be lost in thought, and after thinking... he became... excited?
This discovery forced Xu Zhiyan to turn his face away in order to remain calm.
This slice of shit must be fucking crazy!
After discovering that you were cheated, instead of being angry, you became even more excited?
The kiss on the corner of his mouth almost forced him to lie back on the carpet.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhiyan frowned.
Now that I've been exposed, there's no need to pretend anymore.
He was very worried that the other party would say something perverted again, so he couldn't help but punch him twice to wake him up.
I glanced at the time secretly and it was almost six o'clock.
[Mission: Sleeping in a Haunted House]
[Reward: Correct time (24h)]
[Progress: 2/3]
The prompts on the task panel have also reached two-thirds.
It is already the early morning of the third day. As long as he can stay here until tomorrow morning, he will be able to get the reward.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan nudged Bai Jin with his elbow.
Damn, no push.
He had to speak in a cold voice.
"Let me go first."
"As for the explanation, I will tell you tonight."
Xu Zhiyan frowned and stated his conditions.
"As a thank you, after tonight, I would like you to draw a picture for me. I know your requirement. A person can probably only draw one picture in his lifetime." No way.
He has roughly determined the location of the safe house and will retrieve the slice at night!
After saying that, Xu Zhiyan felt Bai Jin loosen his hand, and he hurriedly stood up with the help of the carpet, fearing that this pervert would go back on his word.
Bai Jin's posture at this time has changed from squatting to kneeling.
Looking up at the prey that was fleeing in panic, his eyes were full of aggression. He couldn't help licking his lips with an expression of 'as expected'.
"You are very clever."
"You are the first prey who guessed that I only paint dead people before I took action."
Xu Zhiyan glanced at the kneeling Bai Jin, then immediately looked away. He turned his head awkwardly and said with gritted teeth, "Mr. Bai, do you act like this in front of other prey?"
He turned away, his back to the man.
It's really perverted!
It's a bit tricky to deal with.
He wanted to see what excuse Party A would use to explain after recovering the slice and integrating its memory. He couldn't just blame the snake this time.
Walking to the door, Xu Zhiyan did not mention the matter of exchanging Shengli for cash again.
Anyway, after tonight, everything in 1402 will be his.
"I have to leave now. I will be back in the evening. I'll leave Xiaohua to Mr. Bai for now."
I'm sorry, Xiaohua.
You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid.
After saying that, Xu Zhiyan left the master bedroom without looking back.
Bai Jin was left alone in the room, looking at the young man's fleeing back and laughing softly.
[Ding! Repair successful! ]
[The live broadcast room malfunction has been fixed]
With these two lines of words, Xu Zhiyan's live broadcast room became lively again.
The audience looked at the two people who left the bedroom one after the other, and had different opinions.
[Who won? Xiao Baiwan looked like he hadn't taken off any more or less clothes.]
[I laughed so hard, this is so perverted! ]
[The painter must have lost. Look at him, he is just wearing loose pants and no shirt at all.]
[But the expression is wrong! If Xiao Baiwan really won, he should be overjoyed and thinking about how to deal with the house.]
[Fuck, the above is too real! ]
[Xiao Baiwan's expression is a bit flustered, but his steps are still steady, so he probably didn't lose. How could the abnormal painter be so happy? Is there anyone who is so happy after losing? ]
[Maybe I'm not perverted enough, so I can't understand it. ]
【Subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg】
At the corridor, Xu Xiaohua looked at the two people walking out one after the other, rubbed his eyes, and his expression was solemn.
She woke up from a nightmare in the early morning and went to look for her father, but found that the door of her father's room was open and no one was inside. Instead, she heard her father talking in the room opposite...
Could it be that she is going to have a mother?
With doubts, Xu Xiaohua clung to Xu Zhiyan like a follower.
"Good morning, Dad! What time did you get home yesterday?"
She didn't even wait for her father to come home.
Xu Zhiyan, who had just left his daughter as collateral to Bai Jin, felt a little guilty.
However, considering that there was no content related to children in all of Bai Jin's paintings, and that although Bai Jin was a little indifferent to Xu Xiaohua before, he did not do anything, he thought that the other party should not bother to lay hands on children.
He touched his adopted daughter's head and carried her to a chair.
In just two days, the restaurant had a new baby chair.
Thinking of this perverted Bai Jin, Xu Zhiyan sighed heavily.
If the other party wasn't smart and perverted, this slice would indeed be the most helpful Party A slice he had ever encountered.
She is rich, provides him with a place to stay and a stable source of delicious food, can help him take care of his burden Xu Xiaohua, and can even help him exploit system loopholes...
All in all, he would be perfect if he wasn't a pervert!
Glancing at Bai Jin approaching, Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, wavering for 0.1 second as to whether he should recycle the slices now.
No, that's too abnormal. Let's recycle it as soon as possible.
Perhaps because he had opened up, Xu Zhiyan no longer showed any shyness. He pointed at Xu Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua will be in Mr. Bai's care today."
Bai Jin nodded.
He had now returned to his usual cold artist style, smiling faintly, as if nothing had just happened.
Since there was a child at home, Bai Jin finally went back to the bedroom to put on his clothes before going upstairs to the kitchen.
Seeing Xu Zhiyan was about to leave, he subconsciously asked, "Aren't you going to have breakfast at home?"
"No, I have to train new employees today."
After saying that, Xu Zhiyan cruelly ignored Xu Xiaohua's sad expression, changed his clothes and left in a hurry.
When I went downstairs, it was not yet seven o'clock.
Xu Zhiyan first checked his panel. After finishing the game with Bai Jin, he gained another five hours of correct time. Even without Chu Fei, he could last until three o'clock in the afternoon.
But that’s not enough.
There are many strange things happening in the community.
Let’s not talk about the finger-shaped buns given by Chu Fei’s mother, let’s just talk about the bosses in the commercial street.
Each one looks normal.
If you think about it carefully, you will find something strange everywhere.
All condiments must be added according to the steps for curry fried rice, and the store does not sell any dishes outside the menu.
And what are the origins of the vendors who appeared after 11:30?
Why can they do what the high street bosses dare not do? What is the white flame in the gas tank?
All of these require him to deal with the pervert tonight before he can have time to explore them one by one.
As the cool breeze blew in the early morning, Xu Zhiyan became much more sober and sorted out the current problems and all his own situations.
After taking a final look at his panel and replenishing his lost mental energy, he was too lazy to wait any longer, so he rode his electric scooter to the commercial street, bought two hand-pulled pancakes, and rushed to Building 66.
At 7:10, Xu Zhiyan rang the doorbell of Room 403.
Unlike what he imagined, Chu Fei not only did not let him wait, but also opened the door at an extremely fast speed.
“Shua——”
Looking at Chu Fei inside the door, whose hair was disheveled, eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night, and who looked like he was about to die suddenly, Xu Zhiyan hesitated.
Is it true that this thing won’t drive the electric car into the ditch?
Chu Fei was very happy to see Xu Zhiyan coming.
He called out "Hello, Brother Xu" to the new eldest brother and immediately invited him in.
The conversation last night gave Chu Fei tremendous confidence and almost became his last straw.
After Xu Zhiyan left, he lay on the bed and enjoyed the future.
The thought made me fall asleep even more.
Worried that his order might be wrong, Xu Zhiyan reluctantly took out the food supplies from the safe house - low-quality sugar cubes to restore his spirits, and hot soup that warmed his stomach with the same taste as water used to wash pots.
It’s a good opportunity to test whether these supplies are useful to the NPCs in the dungeon.
"Can this restore my energy?" Chu Fei was skeptical.
He took a handful of candies, munched them down, then pinched his nose and drank three large bowls of stomach-warming soup.
Suddenly, my mind was no longer sleepy and my body was no longer tired.
"Oh my god! Brother Xu! What kind of medicine is this? It's amazing! Where did you get it?" he exclaimed.
Xu Zhiyan nodded and secretly recorded Chu Fei's condition in his heart.
It seems that the lower the level of the NPC, the better the effect of these supplies.
Five low-quality sugar cubes and three bowls of stomach-warming soup directly brought Chu Fei, who didn't even appear at the NPC or monster level, back to almost full health.
You know, eating these will have almost no effect on monsters like Qu Ji and Liu Liu.
Seeing Chu Fei's lively appearance, Xu Zhiyan thought of his own live broadcast room.
Thinking that there was a high probability that many people were watching the live broadcast, he tried to send out a soft advertisement for the safe house.
"I bought it from a friend. The price was not bad, but he said these things are hard to come by and I don't know when I'll see them again. He kept telling me to buy more if I see them."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of cheap candy from his pocket like a magic trick.
I pinched the candy between my thumb and index finger, fearing that the person on the live broadcast wouldn’t be able to see clearly.
I hope all players who enter the safe house will buy it!
These little things that don't cost anything can still make a lot of money by selling them at a low profit margin.
The audience who were catching up with the morning barrage were indeed caught.
[What is that? Safe House Candy? ]
[Fuck! It seems so!]
[Wait? How can Xiao Baiwan have such a thing? ]
【Ahhhhh, can this thing be stockpiled? 】
[I guess it was given by the anonymous guy? The last time he interacted with the anonymous guy in the live broadcast room, the two of them seemed very familiar.]
[Are these things so useful? I remember they were not expensive! Next time I come across a safe house, I’ll go for it!]
[I bought it once, and I feel the price/performance ratio is not too high...]
[Back to the above, I have bought it too. Although it is not much cheaper, it is still worth it compared to the system mall! ! ! ]
[It looks like it would be perfect for NPCs, and it's not expensive anyway. 】
[What? It’s not cost-effective even if it’s better than the system mall? ]
[I'll tell my friends about this, if anyone comes across this, please bring it to me! ]
At eight o'clock, a text message came on my mobile phone.
[Order assistant is at your service...]
Xu Zhiyan exchanged numbers with Chu Fei, who had just completed on-the-job training.
It was impossible for him to give the phone given by the system to Chu Fei, but fortunately, the phones here were all functional and he could just take a screenshot and forward the message.
Chu Fei found a blue and yellow jacket from home and put it on. From a distance, he looked no different from an ordinary delivery man.
Because at the beginning, Xu Zhiyan was very concerned about the new employees.
He is in charge of the commercial street.
Once the takeaway information came in, he would go to various small shops to pick up the takeaway, carry it to the rest area, and wait for Chu Fei to come back on his electric bike.
One of them picked up the takeout, while the other delivered it, and they worked together perfectly.
In just one morning, Xu Zhiyan found that the number of takeout orders he delivered was nearly doubled compared to before.
It turns out that as long as the orders are delivered promptly enough, there will be a steady stream of orders coming in.
By the afternoon, Chu Fei was able to deliver takeout on his own.
Unlike Xu Zhiyan, who has to rush home to eat at noon and at night, the newly appointed food delivery rider Chu Fei calculated that his working hours are mainly concentrated at noon and at night.
After the two of them renegotiated their working hours, Xu Zhiyan stopped staring.
After seeing Chu Fei happily coming out of the healthy breakfast shop with the takeout, he was completely relieved.
After his last experience, he no longer tried to get close to the bosses to get free food.
After paying for two servings of vermicelli with clams and roasted sweet potatoes from Boss Zhang, Xu Zhiyan strolled to the property management office carrying the packed food.
In the evening.
The employees had already left work, but Xie Lingyi was the only one who was still working frantically.
Her condition got worse.
The cheap rent and lack of food made her feel uncomfortable, and the work she did yesterday was not enough to make ends meet.
But this time, after she caught a glimpse of Xu Zhiyan carrying a takeaway, she shuddered noticeably.
"Can you find someone else to pick it up?"
Xie Lingyi's tone was full of despair.
Why was she the one targeted by this liar and profiteer? Was it because the magician could run away and beat her up that she was unlucky?
Xu Zhiyan didn’t explain the steamed bun problem from last time.
He knew that the other party would not believe him even if he told him, so he simply walked over with a smile, placed the two portions of food on the workstation next to Xie Lingyi, opened one at random, and started eating.
The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and the steaming hot vermicelli were unbearable for Xie Lingyi.
She felt like her soul was about to be hooked away by the food of this dog trader.
This copy seemed to have some magic that made all the powerful players become down-to-earth.
Xie Lingyi has completely lost the queen-like state she had at the beginning of the show. She looks like a desperate office worker who is about to die due to the persecution of 996.
Xu Zhiyan ate half a bowl of vermicelli with clams, took a tissue from Xie Lingyi's desk to wipe his mouth, then broke open the roasted sweet potato and handed over most of it.
"The buns last time were an accident."
After saying that, he took a bite of the remaining half of the baked sweet potato in his hand.
A little hot, but delicious.
Xie Lingyi thought for a moment and finally took the sweet potato.
She had originally planned to eat system food today, but she still felt pain in her flesh. Now that she has finished eating half of the baked sweet potato, she should be able to hold on for a while longer.
However, the person who borrowed his life, who originally only wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, obviously underestimated the power of food.
Twenty minutes later, another serving of clams and vermicelli and roasted sweet potatoes that Xu Zhiyan brought also went into her stomach.
After eating the hot food, Xie Lingyi became much more talkative and looked at the dog profiteer in front of her with a lot more favorability.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I want you to find out who the guard at the South Gate is."
Xu Zhiyan wasn’t polite either.
He had already solved the problem of food and clothing, but he was still concerned about the security guard who killed the monster last night.
Doesn’t that monster look similar to Chu Fei back then?
If he guessed correctly, the other party was just a resident in the community.
...Chu Fei alone has increased his income, but if he continues to do things the way he did before, he has to wait until the evening to receive orders, which is too troublesome.
If he could find these mutated residents through the doorman method and "rescue" them a little, he felt that he could develop some other businesses in the community.
Xie Lingyi nodded, typed on the computer for a while, called up the information of the South Gate guard, and her expression became more and more solemn.
"…The security guard is a player, a smiling tiger, not easy to mess with."
She pursed her lips, leaned over and said some information about Gan Mi in a voice that could not be heard by the barrage.
"I have some connections with Xinan, and we work for the same person, but he is more difficult to deal with than Xinan, and his ranking is much higher. He has a shop in Ke, and people call him Boss Gan..."
"Shop? He's rich?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan's eyes lit up.
After saying goodbye to Xie Lingyi and leaving the property management office.
In Xu Zhiyan's mind, the sequence of events of making friends with Gan Mi was ranked before taming the mad dog.
After all, he prefers to earn points rather than train dogs.
It was already dark, and Xu Zhiyan did not go back.
In order to ensure that the haunted house mission would not have any variables after the pervert was recovered, he planned to go home after twelve o'clock.
Xu Zhiyan stayed in the commercial street until half past eleven, when he finally saw the mobile stall sneaking in from the gate in the dark.
Before he could have a word with the fried rice boss, a special night order came in.
【The order assistant is serving you! 】
【Order number: %&162¥+…¥6】
【Running errands】
【Delivery address: Healthy breakfast shop】
[Pick-up address: 0101, Unit 1, Building 09, Meimeng Community, Ms. Wang, Tel: 17...]
【Delivery time: before 04:30:00】
【Please do not exceed the time limit! 】
[Estimated profit of this order: Correct time (3h)]
Glancing at the message, Xu Zhiyan thought about it and clicked "Reject".
This Ms. Wang is Chu Fei’s mother.
It's not even twelve o'clock yet, and the delivery time is half past four. If I take this task, there is a 99% chance that I will not return home all night.
After determining that tonight's special order was a bit difficult to handle, Xu Zhiyan did not make things difficult for himself. He put his hands in his pockets and returned to Building 167 in the biting cold wind.
Press the elevator, go upstairs...
"bite--"
“Squeak—”
The elevator door and the main door of Room 1402 opened at the same time.
He looked at the white embers in the backlight and thought that if he didn't solve this problem today, he wouldn't be able to live anymore!
