apartment
Peng Ningyu heard a loud noise.
She was standing by the door and was frightened by the noise, thinking someone was demonstrating.
She waited for a long time, and finally heard the neighbor open the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
Peng Ningyu did not respond.
The neighbor probably thought it was a false alarm and closed the door again.
As soon as the door was closed, the cell phone in Peng Ningyu's hand vibrated, and the caller ID displayed: "Boss".
Peng Ningyu hesitated for a moment and chose to hang up, but the small icon could not be swiped in the direction of hanging up, so she could only choose to connect.
The other side was indeed yelling at me like a boss, questioning my absence and threatening to deduct my salary.
Peng Ningyu had been cram-built on "knowledge points" by He Lizhou and Sheng Ju, and realized that this was probably the system automatically correcting the plot to prevent any players from taking advantage of the situation for a week, so she had to take this class.
Peng Ningyu sighed and called up the original owner's job information.
I couldn't stay in this room forever, Peng Ningyu let out a breath and pushed open the door.
Lili also glanced at her and pinched Peng Ningyu's face happily, "You're so cute today?"
Peng Ningyu tilted her face to the side, which made Lili happy again. "Oh, I've never seen you like this before."
Peng Ningyu smiled awkwardly, "What should I do?"
Lili squinted her eyes and looked at her, then whispered in her ear, "You were late today, and your boss deducted your salary. Why don't you just quit? I'll take you to a good place to make money."
Peng Ningyu didn't know what she was thinking of. She felt a little embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly, "No..."
Lili pushed her and said, "You, there are more profitable places to go. Can you still pay the rent tomorrow?"
Peng Ningyu really didn’t know that she had to pay the rent. She felt a little desperate. It was indeed difficult to survive for seven days.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Lili said proudly, "You pay the rent once a week. The landlord looks at you like a fool. It's 400 yuan, but you can get 350 yuan now."
Peng Ningyu nodded.
Lili asked again: "Are you going or not?"
Peng Ningyu still shook her head. She didn't dare to trust the NPC in the dungeon. He Lizhou had emphasized to her that what the NPC had been tempting her to do was usually harmful to the player.
Peng Ningyu is still a newcomer who knows nothing and has not yet grown up. She can only rely on the experience summed up by He Lizhou and others to protect herself first.
Lili sighed, with a little pity in her eyes, but she still didn't persuade him any more, just said: "Forget it, if you change your mind in the future, come to me anytime."
Peng Ningyu felt that this sister was actually quite nice, mainly because she had revealed a lot of dungeon information to him, more or less, overtly or covertly, so he smiled at her and said, "Okay."
Peng Ningyu couldn't understand the original owner's job content. Seeing Lili slacking off openly, she followed her until the end of the day. He even won an admiring look from Lili, which made Peng Ningyu laugh and cry.
When she returned to the apartment, it was already dark. The amount of exercise was much less than that in the previous dungeon. Peng Ningyu felt fine physically, but her mind was unusually tired for some reason. Peng Ningyu attributed it to the fact that she had to stay alert at all times in the dungeon.
Sheng Ju said so.
But Peng Ningyu thought carefully about what she had done and felt that it was not so justified to slack off at work all day.
When she saw the bed, Peng Ningyu felt that it was salvation. The soft bed was the best way to relieve her fatigue of the whole day.
She didn't know when she fell asleep.

Sheng Ju woke up again in the cycle of the first day.
He sighed, not knowing which player had died again and the copy had been reset.
The last time he went to the company, he had already figured out who everyone in the company was. He was considering whether to go again this time, or try to find the other two "selves" in this copy and join forces with them to quickly pass the copy.
Shengju's current guess is that as long as one player completes the dungeon before the loop is reset, it will be considered that all players have completed it.
Sheng Ju thought about it for a while and decided to go to the company.
The system assigns tasks to players, so there may be relevant information in the company.
Sheng Ju thought of the mobile phone in his hand. He couldn't search for any information. He could only see the clock-in records and the surveillance outside the door. It was as useless as a brick.
Maybe the company's computers can find something.
The last time he went there, there was a stock market, but he didn't have enough funds and the time was too short to get the money. He studied it for a while and then gave up.
Sheng Ju walked by without even looking at his neighbor and once again leaned out half of his head to ask about the loud noise, unable to help but complain in his heart.
Every time, only one head pops out, and I don’t know if it’s afraid to come out or what.
He didn't take it seriously.
The lack of other players in this copy did make him a little anxious. People are always like this. Without a group, they will feel helpless.
Sheng Ju gritted his teeth, damn single-player copy!
He didn't leave late, so he wasn't late when he arrived at the company. He entered the company gate on time. Knowing the nature of the system, which would find fault and deduct money no matter what, he simply gave his boss a provocative look.
The boss immediately acted as if a program had been triggered, and he jumped up and down, yelling and threatening to deduct wages.
Sheng Ju ignored him, waved his hand to signal him to do it, and bent down to press the power button on the computer.
The computers in the company are also antiques. They took a long time to light up the screen and display the time of the first day of entering the copy.
I feel annoyed when I see this time.
Sheng Ju swiped his mouse, opened the browser, thought for a moment, and typed in the road where the apartment was located: "Fanhua Road."
The small circle on the computer screen slowly turned several times before slowly loading the information about the bustling road.
These are all things that happened in recent years and have nothing to do with the demolition of the apartments.
Sheng Ju scanned the entire page quickly and clicked on the next page.
Nothing gained.
Sheng Ju has already prepared himself mentally. If the players can find it so easily, the system should be cleaned up and upgraded.
After looking at the computer for a whole day, Sheng Ju's eyes were sore. He rubbed his eyes while unlocking the door of the apartment.
The apartment was very quiet, which was very abrupt compared to the noisy voices around, as if a room was suddenly added.
Sheng Ju blinked, and before going to bed, he checked again to see if the mirror facing the window had been tampered with. After confirming that it was still a convex mirror, he returned to the bedroom and fell into a deep sleep.

"He Yuanguang, it's early today."
He nodded silently and did not respond to his neighbor's teasing.
When he entered the elevator, he rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, only to find that he was half an hour later than usual.
We will definitely miss it.
He thought to himself that his boss was going to deduct his salary again.
Tomorrow is the day to pay the rent. I definitely won’t be able to pay it if a hundred yuan is deducted from my salary.
He put his sleeve back in silence, feeling strange that he didn't feel scared even though he was so late today.
The elevator reached the first floor and he walked out. The owner of the supermarket downstairs was still sleeping on the table. It seemed that the supermarket owner always stayed in this posture. Every time he passed by him, he was sleeping.
He thought expressionlessly, but did not stop, and walked skillfully towards the company building.
Today he passed by a newly opened hotel and took a casual look. The name of the hotel had not been put up yet, but the decoration looked very good. He didn't know who would stay there.
After all, it's next to a horrible apartment.
He walked straight past the inn. Even though he wanted to look back or even go in and sit down, he still walked away slowly.
They soon arrived at the company building, and the boss was waiting for him with his hands on his hips. He nodded silently and listened to the lecture.
The boss kept repeating the same few words over and over again. He had heard them countless times and he didn't care about them anymore.
After he finished listening to the training and sat down at his workstation, Lili, the team leader working next to him, leaned over and glanced at him, a very careful and deep glance.
He didn't know what this look meant, but he didn't care much. Team leader Lili had always ignored him, so maybe she just had a sudden thought today.
He turned on the computer in silence. The blue light reflected on his lenses, flashing at Lili. Lili was a little annoyed. She grabbed a folder and was about to come over to hit him, but when she saw his look, she calmed down for some reason.
Maybe she wasn't calmed down, but just felt it was boring. Lili threw the folder back on the table and gritted her teeth: "It's also a useless thing!"
Lili rolled her eyes, and he lowered his head, with no movement of any facial muscles, the same expression as when he left the house.
Lili pushed her hair back and said, "I need to go to the bathroom. Come with me."
He would not refuse Lili's bossy orders. He stood up from his workstation silently and followed Lili obediently.
Lili walked in front, passing by a group of unresponsive employees, as if a warm red paint suddenly fell in the gray.
He didn't notice it, and quietly followed Lili into the bathroom, waiting for her to touch up her makeup.
Lili took out the lipstick from the bag he was carrying, unscrewed the cap, and shook it casually. The lipstick broke and fell on the mirror, sticking and slowly sliding down.
So Lili got angry: "What a lousy quality! Clean it up for me!"
He still looked submissive, picked up a tissue from the side and gently wiped off the lipstick stuck on the mirror.
During the whole process, his eyes were honest and he didn't glance around at all. After the lipstick was wiped clean, he held the tissue in his palm, took a half step back, and lowered his head.
Lili rolled her eyes again, threw the lipstick back into her bag, and turned away.
He followed Lili back to his workstation, staring at the computer screen intently, and for some reason he began to daydream.
He always felt that he had forgotten something, as if he was going to check something in the company, but what was he going to check? He had always been the most inconspicuous employee in the company, and his daily work was boring and repetitive. What was there for him to worry about?
He thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember anything about it. He could only sigh and pat his head, "I guess I mixed it up."
I guess you got it mixed up.
What he clearly needs to remember is to work hard, not make mistakes, and pay the rent by tomorrow.
However, I was late this morning and was fined $100. I have no more food money for next week and I still owe $50 for rent.
He rubbed his forehead in distress. If he wanted to earn back the fifty yuan, he would have to go work for the owner of the supermarket downstairs.
After the work was completed, it was already early in the morning. At that time...
He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he shuddered violently and his eyes were filled with fear.
It's so weird.
It was so weird, that apartment, and all the people who lived in that apartment.
He didn't want to go out to work, he wanted to find a way to collect fifty dollars.
His eyes gradually drifted to Lili. Why was she so rich...
Realizing what he was thinking, he suddenly shook his head. What was he thinking about!
Today is nothing like my previous self.
He couldn't help but think, this is so weird, it doesn't seem like himself at all.
Have I become a different person?
