Chapter 95
Shu Mo thought of the sad and angry looks on the faces of the two people when they left, and felt that he had guessed something.
She calmly changed the topic, asked a few people to sit on the chairs, and ran to pour a glass of water - since she had bought a water dispenser, of course she had to make full use of it.
When he handed it to Jiang Qingshi, the latter quickly stood up and said, "We can do it ourselves."
Shu Mo smiled, "Why do I feel like I haven't seen you guys for a while?"
She recalled that the last time she saw them was when the monster tide broke out.
Fu Yiming on the side was still confused. He sat there racking his brains, as if he wanted to review the few times he had met those two people.
Seeing this, Jiang Qing simply kicked him out of the chat and answered himself: "We are out all week."
Xu Ruixi nodded and gave a coordinate.
Shu Mo now had a rough idea of the directions represented by different coordinates. After comparing them, he found that it was much deeper than the location of the hot spring. He was startled. "You went so far? Did you encounter any danger?"
"No." Jiang Qing smiled. "We packed a backpack with food before we set out. Thanks to them, we were able to resolve several crises along the way."
As she got more and more familiar with Shu Mo, she became more talkative. "We gained a lot from this trip, and we have to thank you, boss."
"What are you thanking me for? You should be the ones taking care of my business." Shu Mo waved his hand.
However, seeing the cheerful looks on the faces of his colleagues, Jiang Qing's words should not be just politeness, but he really has made some great gains.
Shu Mo thought secretly and was happy for them in his heart.
"No, if there were no inn, we would never be able to reach such a deep leveling area." Jiang Qing solemnly took out a package, "These are our team's thank-you gifts to the inn, boss, you must accept them."
This group of elite players usually have a terrifying efficiency in killing monsters. During that monster tide, they took the opportunity to slaughter countless high-level monsters. Combined with the experience bonus from the sauna room, the entire team leveled up by 2 levels in two days.
Even now, their hearts are still pounding when they recall the grand occasion.
There is no need to waste time on the road from Guangming Town, no need to search for monsters in jungles, mountain streams and other strange terrains, and no need to worry about making too much noise and attracting nearby monsters and being besieged. Just focus on harvesting, saving 99% of the time.
Every attack has the maximum damage, and every skill can overturn a group of monsters, especially for professions like mages whose attacks have splash damage. During the monster tide, even if you close your eyes and use skills randomly, you can hit the target...
This was simply the most enjoyable battle in their gaming career.
As a group ranked high among the elite players, Jiang Qing's team has a very hard time leveling up each level now. However, this time, because they are stationed in the hot springs, they happened to catch the monster tide, which allowed them to take advantage of a big bargain and save several months of leveling time.
Two of them, including Xu Ruixi, even squeezed into the top ten of Guangming Town's combat power rankings, kicking out the two players who were originally at the bottom.
After the upgrade, their team occupied four seats among the top 10 players, making it the most competitive team in the entire town.
So after discussion, the whole team cautiously stepped into a high-end area that they had never set foot in before for the first time.
The fog on the map dissipated a little more.
Land reclamation is always accompanied by risks and opportunities, but as Jiang Qing said, the cheap, large and easy-to-use food and props in the hot springs helped them escape danger several times and greatly improved the tolerance rate in battles.
Therefore, when the risk is reduced, the gains are infinitely magnified.
During this exploration, they discovered at least three high-level monster species that had never been seen before, obtained several rare dropped materials, and discovered a small high-level herbal resource point.
Relying on three players with the [Gathering] profession in the team, they dug quickly for two days until they had to return. Only then did they remember the coordinates and leave reluctantly.
With just a few more visits, I would be able to dig out all the herbs and sell them for a good price in town.
Thinking of the huge amount of profits that were about to come in, their faces were beaming as they walked towards the hot spring road.
The first thing he did when he came back was to find Shu Mo to give him this thank-you gift.
Shu Mo opened the bag and found some materials for clearing new areas and a bundle of herbs. They were not very valuable, but they were rare and very practical. The herbs could be used to make medicines and restore health and save lives at critical moments. Whether you were a combat player or not, this was a gift that would never go wrong.
It can be seen that several people also put their heart into it.
Shu Mo hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to accept it or not. Jiang Qing saw that she was embarrassed, and smiled again: "Actually, this is not just a thank-you gift from Monster Tide. When we went to the front desk just now, we heard that the boss had moved, so we wrapped this gift after discussion, and it is also to congratulate the boss on his new home. I wonder if there will be a chance to visit the boss's house in the future?"
Shu Mo had no reason to refuse now, and after thanking him again and again, he accepted it, "Of course."
"Boss, is this your new home?" Xu Ruixi noticed the projection on the table and moved closer curiously. "What a beautiful little building!"
They had heard from Gu Xiao that the boss had built a house in the bamboo forest with a terrace, a separate courtyard and large floor-to-ceiling windows. He could cook his own meals and drink tea in the yard while enjoying the lake view. It was a wonderful house.
Hearing this, several people were envious.
I really mean it when I say I want to visit my boss's house.
"Ah, no." Shu Mo glanced at it, and then he sat up straight and cleared his throat. "The hotel has newly opened a B&B area, and this is one of the rental houses."
Several pairs of eyes widened in unison.
"Rental room?" Xu Ruixi and Jiang Qing looked at each other in bewilderment. "Are all the rental rooms in the hotel of such high standard?"
Fu Yiming suddenly came to life: "What's the price?"
The confidence in the voice of this player asking the price was different from that of the previous two players. Shu Mo sighed in his heart for a second, and then repeated his introduction very smoothly.
By the way, she used her rather clumsy sales skills - silently giving a few people some lemonade.
When the offer of 90,000 was made, more than half of the team members fell silent.
Including Xu Ruixi, everyone frowned and looked at the house with a bit of heartache.
Only Jiang Qing and Fu Yiming exchanged glances. Although they were somewhat embarrassed, they were not directly dissuaded.
They are different from other people in the team. Both of them have strong earning ability, and the fixed rent expense of more than 200 yuan per day is easily affordable for them.
——The family suite they live in now costs even more.
The only problem is... the hotel needs to come up with the money all at once.
Even for Jiang Qing and Fu Yiming, it would be a bit difficult to take out so much savings. Without the savings, it would be a bit unsettling.
Do you want to spend your savings just to occupy this house?
The two were hesitant for a moment.
Shu Mo took in all the changes in their expressions, and took a sip of water without getting in a hurry.
After a while, Fu Yiming said honestly: "Boss, we need to think about it. Can you give us more details about the room?"
"No problem. In fact, you can see every room and the entire area directly on the sand table."
Shu Mo taught step by step, dragging, zooming in, zooming out, switching floors. Several heads nearby gathered to join in the fun, and said "Wow" one after another in support.
After she showed her all aspects, everyone was jealous.
Then he counted the savings in his hand and sighed.
Xu Ruixi had a good relationship with the two of them, and he was happy to watch the fun, so he urged them on, "Just rent it. Haohao will definitely be happy to have such a big room for him to use. He can also plant some flowers and plants in the yard. Apart from Nuannuan Hot Spring, where else can you find such a good house?"
A separate small yard!
Even for the central residential area of Guangming Town, the most that can be done is to open up a public area at the doorstep. Usually, the elderly bask in the sun and chat, children gather together to play, and every household hangs out their clothes to dry, all of which are solved in this area. In this way, they are much better than the residences of ordinary players.
The latter usually sit on the curb where sewage is flowing and chat.
Xu Ruixi: Jealous to the point of deformation.
Jiang Qing rolled his eyes at her when he heard that. "I see it's you who wanted to come over to play, right?"
Complaints aside, I have to say that after watching this, she was really moved.
There is a huge difference between staying in a hotel and having your own house.
Didn’t you hear what the boss just said? If you rent for a long time, you can even DIY the furniture yourself!
Renovating your house will make it feel more like home.
"Boss, can I try the furniture customization you just mentioned?" Jiang Qing asked carefully.
——This “furniture customization” is another function of the panel.
The two people who had just arrived were discouraged when they heard the price. Shu Mo was really disappointed for a moment that she didn't have any more opportunities to show off her high-tech panel.
Now that she finally had the right opportunity to show it, her eyes sparkled and she agreed immediately, "No problem!"
Finally, it’s time for her favorite part of building a house.
“Basic wallpaper, flooring, and even skirting can all be changed at will.”
Shu Mo spoke excitedly, clicking on the wall and selecting a light green wallpaper to cover the existing white walls. Choose small snow-white daisy flowers for the detailed pattern, save the preview, and match it with striped wooden floors. The whole house is instantly transformed into an American pastoral style.
“You can also choose the furniture you like, but all changes need to be made on the panel at the sales office.”
Shu Mo demonstrated them one by one, and his hands kept working, painting the kitchen cabinets avocado color. Changing the color of the three cabinets "cost" a total of 90 points.
On the stove, a frying pan with cat ears is added, which "costs" 50 points.
On the windowsill, where the sun shines, place a pot of tender green succulents, with rounded tips that are a gradient of light pink, "costing" 30 points.
Replace the bathtub's metal shower head with a more retro copper shower head for 30 points.
Replace the original small window with a large floor-to-ceiling window, "spending" 300 points...
All preview amounts are displayed on the side. Finally, click on the settlement button and you will be redirected to the checkout page. Only by paying the points can the changes be saved.
The function of this "sales office" is roughly equivalent to a fixed store in some massively multiplayer online games in the past. Only by finding the NPC here can you buy furniture and decorate the house.
The panel is connected to the huge furniture library of the business mall. Although the furniture does not have additional attribute bonuses, it has an extremely rich variety of types. Even if players accidentally choose the same style, there are a variety of colors to choose from, and there will definitely be no conflicting designs.
After this series of operations, everyone was speechless.
"Although you can't take away discarded furniture, you can put it in a public storage box for recycling." Shu Mo clicked on a small wooden box in the lower left corner.
Like a backpack, there are rows of neatly arranged grids inside, except that all the grids are empty.
[Public storage box (0)]
Shu Mo picked a room at random and dragged the double bed from the bedroom in.
The number 0 at the end turned into a small 1, followed by a jumping "New".
"Come here from time to time and you can find other players' second-hand furniture. You can also set a price to sell unwanted furniture. If someone buys it, they can use it to decorate their own room, and the seller will receive points."
The circulation of different furniture can also enhance the social attributes of the homestay area.
In the future, perhaps neighbors will visit each other, look at each other’s decorations, negotiate sales contracts, and then go to the sales office to complete the transaction.
The hotel will charge a 5% handling fee in the transaction to offset the daily maintenance costs of the panels. In addition, the furniture is only increased by about 10% on top of the original price in the mall, so the profit is not high.
After demonstrating all the functions of the panel, Shu Mo stopped with satisfaction, "That's about it. You can think about it again, there's no rush."
Jiang Qing & Fu Yiming: "..."
Why aren't you in a hurry? They are so anxious!
There are only nine small buildings in total. If you come to reserve two days later, I think they will be sold out... Why am I so poor?
Fu Yiming looked at Jiang Qing, his lips moved, and he lowered his voice to discuss, "What should we do?"
He calculated his savings and felt that they were not safe enough.
If I pay a year's rent at one time, my leveling progress may be delayed, and I always feel uneasy about spending such a large amount of savings.
Can……
It really seems like it!
"Isn't there another way?" Jiang Qing took a deep breath, looked at Fu Yiming, and uttered a few words, "Sell the house."
