Chapter 30 Madhouse (6)
=======
The scene before their eyes changed, and when the two regained their vision, they had returned to Yi Han's hut in the main god space.
A black leather collar disappeared around Jian Lin's neck. Coming out of that nightmare checkpoint should have been a happy thing, but the child's face was red and he looked dazed, as if he was doubting his life...
At this time, Yi Han also frowned slightly.
Not for any other reason, but I suddenly felt that my house seemed a little too shabby.
Now he has passed 4 levels and earned a lot of points, but the room is still the same as the beginning, with only a bed and four walls. There is only a housekeeping doll squatting in the corner, taking a temporary rest.
Although he brought Jian Lin out with a pet collar, he certainly didn't really treat him as a pet. The relationship between the two should be considered as a teammate, just like the male ghost and the pair of ghost sisters - and now his teammates came to live with him, and there was not even a place to sit in this room!
Yi Han opened the system store and bought a chair for Jian Lin to sit on.
Seeing Jian Lin sitting awkwardly, Yi Han looked back at his bed, hesitated for a moment, then bought a single mattress and placed it on the floor for him to sleep on at night.
Now that they were going to live together, Yi Han's own bed was a single bed, so it was impossible for two people to sleep together. And Jian Lin's weak body couldn't sleep on the floor either.
But after Yi Han bought a set of sheets, quilts, pillows and other things and piled them all on the mattress, he looked up again and suddenly realized that his little room was so crowded that he could hardly turn around.
...His living environment seems to be too harsh. Just adding a bed and a chair has made it so crowded. There is not enough space in the room to even provide room for a housekeeping puppet to earn money.
"It seems that the next goal is to save money and move to a new house as soon as possible." Yi Han thought.
There is no basic score for clearing the "Madhouse" copy, so there is no unified settlement message from the system after you come out of it.
After Yi Han silently counted his gains, he opened the app and prepared to go to the forum to see if there was any relevant information about renting or buying a house.
Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the homepage, he discovered that his name was again on the most conspicuous red-titled popular post...and it wasn't just the latest popular post, on the first page alone, there was more than one post that mentioned his name.
[The average score rate of the new boss "y" is actually over 100%? ? ? Is it a distortion of human nature or a bug in the system!!!]
[From the fame of "y" boss, rationally discuss the compatibility of the disease "obsessive-compulsive disorder" with this game]
[Everyone, guess how many more instincts "y" boss will have to rush into the overall scoreboard. I bet on 5]
…
In addition, there are various speculations about his real-world occupation. The trend is similar to the last time I saw it, with the most common guess being "a martial arts master who has an obsessive-compulsive disorder and loves to watch mystery movies (?)"... In addition, there are many posts discussing his gourmet restaurant.
So at a glance, the entire forum homepage was almost occupied by information related to him.
Yi Han flipped the page back and saw that he had indeed moved up a lot in the overall score list. In the average score list, he still sat firmly in first place, and the number behind it had become “>100% (exceeded the upper limit and could not be calculated)”.
This... Yi Han thought about it for a moment and understood. It must be because he scored too many points in the mental hospital.
After all, according to the statistical rules of the system, the Madhouse, as a punishment dungeon, does not even have a basic clearance reward, and its predicted score is likely to be 0. And Yi Han scored nearly 20,000 points as soon as he entered. His average score rate is beyond the upper limit...
Yi Han flipped through it casually and didn't pay any more attention to the discussions.
Until now, no one has discovered the relationship between his online food store and the player "y". In his previous clearance process, the only human players who had seen his iron pot and knew his name were Jian Lin and the pair of best friends in the hot spring. Now Jian Lin has become a ghost and is bound to him, so he will not leak any information. And the pair of best friends do not seem to be big mouths. The topic about "y" on the forum is so hot, but the two of them did not go to reveal any information about him.
Yi Han searched the word "renting a house" on the forum and quickly filtered out relevant posts from the massive amount of information.
To change houses, according to the process, you need to find the "Lord God Space Residence" label in the system mall. He first searched the forum, just to see if there were any old residents who had summarized the methods and techniques for choosing a house and the details that need to be paid attention to.
After being baptized in the insane asylum, Yi Han had already forgotten the mysterious Buddhist style of the majority of players in this game...
Therefore, when he opened a post titled "A list of the pros and cons of residential properties in each area", he never expected that what was listed there... were all barbecue restaurants and snack streets near each community.
The poster has worked diligently, walked through countless residential areas, and eaten at restaurants of all kinds, striving to recommend the most suitable residential areas for everyone from the perspectives of "the number of delicious restaurants" and "how long it takes to walk to the night market".
This post ranked first among related topics and was extremely popular, receiving countless thanks and rewards from people who responded.
Yi Han: emmmm...I was careless.
Although I was a little speechless, I thought that I might open a physical store in the main god space in the future. It seems that it is not a bad phenomenon that players are so keen on food? With the mentality of market research, Yi Han still read several hot posts about "where to live with the most delicious food". He also wrote down several communities recommended by players, and planned to open physical stores in these locations in the future.
...When I think about it this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with placing both the house and the store in the area recommended by the post? This unreliable post actually played a practical role in guiding Yi Han in choosing a house.
Yi Han reopened the system mall and checked the corresponding properties.
Then I found out that tens of thousands of points were still not enough to exchange the house.
Even in this main god space, housing prices are very high. Buying a house is expensive, renting a house is also expensive. If you want to open a store, the corresponding handling fee will be a large sum.
...The pressure of points is still great.
After closing the app, Yi Han lay back on the bed and thought for a long time before he fell into a drowsy sleep.
Since there was one more person in the room, Yi Han did not sleep well.
He was carrying a new malicious detector bought from the store. The previous one was used up in the hot spring level, and this time he bought another one because he was going to live with Jian Lin. It's not that he didn't trust him, but he was used to always being on guard and cautious with the people around him.
After clearing the two-star copy, the system gives players three days of rest time.
The two of them slept in the house for a day and finally regained their energy.
As the desire to gain points was too strong, Yi Han planned to enter the next dungeon tonight.
Unexpectedly, during lunch, Jian Lin suddenly took out his mobile phone and asked him a question.
"Should I sign this..." On his mobile phone screen was the contract application sent by the game company.
Before, in the mental hospital, not long after Jian Lin died, the escape game company sent him a contract, but his phone was confiscated at that time and he hadn't seen it. Later, after he got his phone back, he and Yi Han were busy killing ghosts, and only now did he find this thing.
But what surprised Yi Han now was that Jian Lin was nominally his ghost, but the game company had not withdrawn the contract application... Then if he signed this contract and became an NPC, whose side would he be on?
Judging from Jian Lin's expectant look, he should want to sign. Now he is still an unemployed wanderer, following Yi Han without a name or status (?), unable to gain GPA or points, just like a full-time housewife without financial freedom. He can only wait for Yi Han to accumulate 100 million points one day, so that he can take him out of this escape game.
If you can become an NPC, although it is difficult, you can still earn points through your own efforts and get the opportunity to become a "Goblin" player.
Jian Lin wanted to sign this, but was afraid that Yi Han would be unhappy, so he asked for his opinion a little nervously.
"It's up to you to decide." Yi Han returned the phone to him and said.
In fact, he was a little curious. Given Jian Lin's situation, what would it be like to become an NPC? He was his pet and had to stay by his side. So how would the system assign work to him?
He found out within a few minutes.
Jian Lin signed a contract with the game company, but he hasn't received any notification yet. However, Yi Han's phone rang with a few notification sounds and popped up several messages.
[Congratulations, your pet has become an employee of the Real Escape Game Company! ]
[Since you are the master of the ghost "Jian Lin", you can arrange his next work, training, and rest plans. ]
[You will get corresponding points for upgrading your pet's skills and obtaining performance points. You can also spend points to buy beautiful outfits for your pet, feed it food, or give it small gifts. ]
[If your pet keeps working and doesn’t get a rest, it will get tired and sick. Please make sure it has a balance between work and rest.]
【I wish you a happy cub raising! 】
As the collar on Jian Lin's neck vibrated slightly, Yi Han's app was stuck in a colorful pattern again, just like when he first obtained that weird shop.
Yi Han closed the app and restarted it, and then he found a new interface with a strange style.
Against a warm-toned background, Jian Lin's two-headed cartoon image stands in the center of the screen with a silly and cute look on his face.
There is a row of function labels above it, which are: "Let your pet go out to work", "Arrange training for your pet", "Feed your pet", "Pat the head", "Pinch the face", "Coax your pet to sleep", "Dress up your pet", "Send a heartwarming gift"...
Yi Han: ...Wait a minute, what is this weird sense of déjà vu?
