Chapter 17 [The number of people staying in the second-floor apartment has reached 10...
Zhu Yu came back to his senses, quickly wiped away the surprise in his eyes, stretched out his hand and gently shook hers:
"Welcome to the dungeon, President Lin. I am the lord of this dungeon, Zhu Yu."
Lin Li's fingertips were cold, just like her calm temperament.
Lin Li: "I have heard of the city lord's name for a long time, and today I finally met him. He is indeed as unique as the rumors say."
Zhu Yu looked at the woman in front of him, whose appearance and personality were completely different, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone:
"President Lin, you are too kind. I have long heard that the president of Liuhuo Union is very charming. Now that I see him, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."
As the two shook hands and complimented each other, Lin Li's fruit tea was ready.
The auxiliary service robot C2 on the side stretched out its mechanical arm and tried hard to lift the fruit tea high.
Lin Li took the iced pineapple lemon tea she ordered from it, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, she put it into her space and cast a probing look at Zhu Yu:
"Does City Lord Zhu know Lin Ji?"
Zhu Yu was stunned. She didn't expect the other party's topic to go back to the scene where she first misidentified the person's name.
Then she nodded and admitted:
"I worked with her several times in the last Arctic Disaster dungeon."
Having said this, she paused, and the image of Lin Ji performing ice skills emerged in her mind.
After a moment, she looked at Lin Li hesitantly and asked:
"Could it be that you and she..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Li nodded, her tone calm with a hint of softness that was barely noticeable: "Yes, Lin Ji is my cousin."
“…”
Although this answer was not surprising, Zhu Yu still felt a little surprised.
How come one of these sisters has a fire element and the other has an ice element? Their talents are too extreme!
Zhu Yu was secretly complaining in his heart, but there was still a faint smile on his face:
"I see. No wonder I felt that although your temperaments are somewhat different, your looks are very similar."
Lin Li: "It's not the city lord's fault for misunderstanding. When we were little, we looked more alike, and people often made mistakes."
Zhu Yu: “Is that so?”
Seeing that Zhu Yu did not reply any further, Lin Li tapped her fingers on the countertop and finally couldn't help asking:
"City Lord Zhu, do you know how my cousin was doing in the last instance?"
Zhu Yu looked at the other party with concern and replied simply:
"President Lin, don't worry. Lin Ji is doing well in the dungeon. She is also the captain of a team. She has excellent combat ability and is a reliable person."
Hearing this, Lin Li showed a sense of relief in her eyes and said softly:
"Thank you, Lord Zhu, for telling me this. It seems I really don't have to worry."
"Ding Dong~"
The door of the fruit tea shop was pushed open again, and a new customer came in.
Zhu Yu glanced at Lin Li and saw that she seemed to have something else to say, so he moved a few steps to the side and gave the counter to the auxiliary robot C2 to avoid interfering with its work of receiving guests.
Zhu Yu: "President Lin, do you plan to stay in the underground city permanently?"
Lin Li nodded: "Zhu City Lord, the living conditions here are so good, anyone would be tempted."
Seeing Zhu Yu taking the initiative to bring up the topic, Lin Li thought for a moment and then asked:
"The city lord asked this because he felt that our Liuhuo Guild came too suddenly and was worried about the impact it would bring?"
In the game, competition between major forces has always been sensitive, and the owner of any territory will not easily welcome another powerful force to stay for a long time.
Lin Li couldn't help but think too much, worried that Zhu Yu had some concerns in his mind.
She opened her mouth and was about to explain, but Zhu Yu raised his hand and waved.
Zhu Yu had already vaguely guessed the possibility that Lin Li would come when Zhao Shu asked her to open a new VIP account.
However, she only discovered last night that the other party did not come alone, but brought many members with him.
For this purpose, she went to the forum to search for relevant posts and pieced together the current plan of the Liuhuo Union from a few words.
Since the Liuhuo Guild wanted to find a stable place to live, and the occupancy rate of her second-floor apartment in the underground city was not high at present, it would be better to let them fill the vacancy.
After all, this will not only bring more player traffic, but also provide free publicity for her dungeon in disguise. At the same time, the strength of the Liuhuo Guild should not be underestimated. Their joining will also enhance the overall force value of the dungeon and indirectly enhance security.
More importantly - as an elite union, the Liuhuo Union must have accumulated a lot of wealth and is undoubtedly a "cash cow" with huge potential.
"President Lin brought so many people to the dungeon to spend money. The discipline of the Liuhuo Union is very good and has an excellent reputation. How could I refuse?"
Zhu Yu said with a smile: "Besides, you and Captain Lin Ji are cousins, I believe I will not make a mistake in choosing you."
Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
Before this, she was indeed worried that Zhu Yu would refuse their coming.
If they are really rejected, they will have to find a new place to stay, which will undoubtedly take up more time and energy of the union.
Lin Li: "Then I would like to thank the city lord for his trust. Don't worry, if anyone in the union does not follow the rules, I will definitely deal with it seriously and will not tolerate it."
After saying this, Lin Li felt relieved.
I asked all the questions that needed to be asked and got definite answers.
She took out the pineapple lemon tea from the space and prepared to leave the fruit tea shop and return to the apartment.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the store, she noticed Zhu Yu following her out.
"City Lord Zhu, what are you doing?"
Lin Li asked with a little surprise.
Zhu Yu smiled. Just now, she heard the familiar mechanical voice of the system:
[The number of people staying in the second-floor apartment has reached 100, and the cafeteria has been unlocked]
Thinking of this reminder, Zhu Yu invited:
"I guess President Lin hasn't had breakfast yet? It just so happens that the apartment upstairs has just unlocked a new buffet restaurant that can provide breakfast. Why don't we go up and take a look? This way, President Lin will be the first guest to experience it."
Lin Li, who had already eaten an ice cream early in the morning:
"...Okay, then I'll obey your orders."
The two of them walked into the apartment's elevator together and went straight to the second floor.
The elevator door slowly opened, and following the sign, they soon arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria.
A facial recognition device is installed at the entrance of the restaurant, and the screen displays the message "Entry for apartment residents only."
Lin Li stood in front of the device, and after recognition, the door slid inward.
Zhu Yu stood behind her and followed her in without any verification - as the city lord, these powers were naturally not restricted.
After entering the restaurant, Lin Li glanced around and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
The cafeteria is very spacious and bright. The morning light shines through the glass windows, casting fine shadows on the ceiling.
The entire cafeteria is divided into two main areas:
The area on the left is filled with Western breakfast, including toast, milk, eggs, butter, bacon, etc.
The area on the right is the home of Chinese breakfast, with tea eggs, fried dough sticks, soy milk and millet porridge neatly placed in thermos buckets.
Although there are many varieties, there is no price marked on the label of each food, which shows that they are obviously provided free of charge to the apartment residents.
Lin Li walked to the Chinese breakfast area, picked up a white porcelain bowl, and her eyes lingered for a moment on the neatly arranged various steamed buns and steamed buns, and then glanced at the golden and crispy fried dough sticks not far away.
She frowned slightly, as if she couldn't decide which one to choose first.
At this moment, a system pop-up window that only Zhu Yu could see popped up in front of her:
[Function description of the cafeteria: Currently only breakfast is provided, and the ingredients are automatically replenished every day. The required gold coins cost is 0 to 2000 (2000 gold coins is the upper limit). If you need to unlock more functions, you can do so by increasing the number of people staying in the apartment. ]
Seeing this prompt, Zhu Yu suddenly felt that his decision to welcome the Liuhuo Union to move in was a wise one.
With these new residents, the revenue of the apartment and other shops can be further increased, and more features can be unlocked faster.
Zhu Yu poured himself a glass of milk, toasted a piece of buttered toast, grabbed some blueberry jam, and found a seat by the window with Lin Li.
After sitting down, the two realized that the window seat had an excellent view and they could see a corner of the garden.
The sun shines on the lawn, and the stream sparkles with ripples, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
While spreading blueberry jam on the toast, Zhu Yu couldn't help but admire the beautiful scenery outside the window. The whole atmosphere was quiet and comfortable.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to say anything more and just focused on eating their breakfast.
It was not until Zhu Yu had finished drinking half of the milk that he seemed to remember something and looked up and asked casually:
"President Lin, when will the rest of your union members be able to arrive at the dungeon?"
Lin Li sighed softly, put the half-eaten meat bun back on the plate, and said with a hint of helplessness:
"Liuhuo City is quite far from the Lost City. Those who arrived yesterday were the advance team that set out with me two days earlier. Moving is not an easy task, so the other members can only move in batches and slowly move closer to the underground city."
When Zhu Yu heard this, he suddenly felt anxious.
This efficiency is too slow. When will these cash cows of hers...oh no, tenants, arrive?
She considered her tone and asked tentatively:
"President Lin, have you ever considered using some special means to shorten the journey?"
That’s right, Zhu Yu was referring to space plants like Huahua.
But it suddenly occurred to her that she had not fully understood the limitations of the flower at the time - could it carry living things?
If you really want to teleport a living person out of the mouth of the Piranha Plant...
The strange scene emerged in his mind, and Zhu Yu couldn't help but shudder. Even Huahua in the space trembled, as if he realized that he seemed to be used in some strange assumptions by his master just now.
Lin Li on the other side obviously didn't know that Zhu Yu was thinking about the union members who were trying to "murder" her. She explained:
"I did consider renting flying beasts from the Beast Guild to carry the members here quickly, but the cost is too high. Moreover, the number and carrying capacity of flying beasts are really limited, and they cannot support the large-scale migration of the guild at all."
Although a little disappointed, Zhu Yu still nodded and encouraged:
"Indeed, large-scale relocation is difficult to coordinate. But I believe that it won't be long before President Lin and the Liuhuo Union will be able to overcome these difficulties and successfully complete the relocation."
She drank the milk in one breath, looked at the time, stood up and said with a smile:
"President Lin, I have some things to deal with, so I won't bother you anymore. You can look around the apartment or the dungeon at will."
Lin Li nodded and responded politely:
"Thank you very much. I hope the city lord will continue to be busy."
Before leaving, Zhu Yu added Lin Li as a friend.
When she clicked into the chat interface, she noticed that Yunze had sent her a new message a few minutes ago:
"Lord City Lord, I heard that you opened a new ice cream shop? But it's not very convenient to pack the ice cream for Huahua. It just so happens that I have time tomorrow, so I'll come over to play and bring a few friends from other guilds to see it."
