Chapter 60 Safe House
After learning that there would be no rewards for the next copy, Xu Zhiyan's expression became serene and he looked like he had lost all desire to live, as if he was going to be buried in the next second.
Jiang Huaique was so scared that he thought something went wrong while the other party was recovering from his injuries and almost pressed the emergency button.
In the end, Xu Zhiyan waved his hand indifferently.
"I'm fine, don't be nervous, I just feel like life is meaningless."
"...You don't look like everything is alright!" Jiang Huaique was shocked.
Injuries heal much faster than broken limbs.
When Xu Zhiyan's back was almost healed, Jiang Huaique's legs had only just recovered to the ankle.
After a while, when Jinsheng brought Xiaoyi back from the pet grooming center nearby, he saw that his two teammates had changed their clothes and were full of energy.
"There's more than an hour left. Where do you want to go?" He put the dog down and watched Xiao Yi rush out like a cannonball.
Xiaoyi, who had just finished taking a bath and taking care of himself, became lively and cute again, like a soft golden ball of fur.
“Woof woof!”
It stared at Xu Zhiyan with its pitch-black eyes, longingly.
This time it has done a great job again!
The puppy wants a pat on the head!
"Don't come over here..."
Xu Zhiyan shrank back behind the mat.
Without the threat of life and death, he felt uncomfortable when he got close to Xiaoyi.
Jiang Huai Que was shocked at first, then laughed and said, "Wow! How strange! You are afraid sometimes? I saw you even didn't let go of frog eggs, and I thought you were not afraid of anything."
"If you also had a childhood full of shadows, you might even be afraid of the spoon you use to eat with!" Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but retort.
Seeing Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng stunned and seemed to want to ask something, Xu Zhiyan waved his hand, indicating that the matter was over and he didn't want to say more.
Looking at the puppy in front of him, he began to try to prepare himself mentally.
Xiaoyi lay obediently in front of him, wagging its tail quickly. It was obvious that it was trying hard not to fly.
In the end, Xu Zhiyan still reached out his hand tremblingly.
Since he had already touched her, he decided to go for broke and praised her: "You did a great job. You are the best dog in the world."
Xiaoyi was indeed a pleasant surprise for him.
The reason he teamed up with Jinsheng at that time was because he was very aware of his physical shortcomings, so he urgently needed a teammate who would listen to his commands.
Feeling Xiaoyi's head pushing against his palm and licking it from time to time, Xu Zhiyan collapsed on the mat, looking even worse than before with all the injuries.
"Is this the price for overturning a reservoir..." he muttered.
"Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
After being touched, Xiaoyi happily spun around.
However, it is a trustworthy little dog. It can only be petted if it completes the task accurately every time. After today's petting, it sat aside obediently.
It took Xu Zhiyan a long time to recover, and his legs were still a little weak when he left the lounge.
Walking down the street, Jin Sheng held Xiao Yi in his arms and looked over with a worried look on his face: "If it doesn't work, don't touch it anymore. Every time you touch it, you look like you're going to die."
He was really worried that his teammates would faint after touching the dog one day.
Xu Zhiyan waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"I am an honest businessman. Xiaoyi completed my task and this is what it deserves."
The most important thing is that it doesn’t cost any money.
If he doesn't need to touch the dog's head but needs to give more points, he would rather pet the dog every time he leaves the dungeon.
A group of three people came to the central area.
Last time, time was too tight, and Xu Zhiyan was stingy and unwilling to spend money to buy time, so he only visited the most core points ranking area in the most central area.
Slightly outside are some shops and trading areas built by players, and further out are various entertainment buildings placed in the shell by the system.
Due to different purposes, the three people parted ways in front of the trading area.
Jin Sheng plans to take this opportunity to train some skills, while Jiang Huai Que wants to redeem the items.
"Redeem?" Xu Zhiyan stared at Jiang Huaique, who had an annoyed expression, curiously.
The other party frowned and said that in order to buy that super powerful cursed item, he not only spent all his family fortune, but also pawned all his own items.
"I thought I was going to die in the copy, so I chose the most expensive pawning method. The ransom may have to be doubled." Jiang Huaique sighed.
It turns out that if players want to sell their items back to the system mall, the system will only buy them back at a maximum of 10% of the price, and sometimes even less than 10%.
For example, Xu Zhiyan has a magic tool for staying up late, which costs thousands of points per bottle.
For an item priced at 3999, if you put one bottle into the system for recycling, you will only get 150 points. The same applies to other items.
Therefore, when players sometimes get items that they cannot use, they will choose to trade them among other players, or pawn them like Jiang Huaique.
After Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Huai and Que Jinsheng separated, they went straight to the player trading location.
The trading location provided by Shell for players is a street adjacent to the points ranking, which is surrounded by a circle.
The trading location was crowded and bustling.
Most of the shops on both sides are empty, with signs saying "For Sale or For Rent" on them.
I think it’s because the price is high, so not many people can afford it. Compared to shops that cost tens of millions of points, players prefer to sell their things at temporary stalls in the middle of the street.
One booth earns 1,000 points per hour.
Xu Zhiyan witnessed the successful transaction of props with his own eyes, and found that the system actually had a conscience. It only charged booth fees for transactions with players and did not take any commission from the value of the traded items.
He walked around for more than half an hour and finally looked at the entire street.
Finally, Xu Zhiyan came to an inconspicuous small shop for sale, called up the game system panel, smacked his lips and asked.
“How do you sell this shop?”
This time he won 12 million points by exploiting loopholes in the guessing contest. Adding the copy settlement, the points he got from cheating players in the copy and the remaining points, he had about 14 million points in his hand. The balance in Guishen's other account could not be checked, but the transfer was limited to 1 million points each time.
[Congratulations to the player for finding the store with the worst location and the smallest size on the entire street. You have a really good eye! ]
[This shop has the same price as the lowest residential property for sale, and requires 18 million points. ]
The system displayed this small shop in the form of a 3D model with a hint of sarcasm.
It was indeed very small, probably less than 20 square meters, with nothing inside, just an empty room in a small corner of the street.
On the other hand, it also released the floor plans of the residential houses. Even the cheapest and worst house has an applicable area of at least 2,000 square meters and is fully furnished.
Xu Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, without even looking at the house, pointing at the shop and exclaiming: "A place the size of a toilet costs 18 million? Why don't you just go and rob it?"
[Poor people are not worthy of buying shops. (Withdrawn)]
【You can choose to rent it! 】
“…”
Xu Zhiyan looked at the system's action of mocking and then withdrawing, touched his chin and asked: "How much is the rental?"
[Calculated by the hour, the one you selected is 300 points per hour, which is the cheapest. There are also other options that cost 1,000 points per hour. ]
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan pinched his nose and felt a little worried.
"Why don't you go and rob?"
Three hundred points an hour, seven thousand two hundred a day, and more than two hundred thousand points a month.
From this perspective, it is still more cost-effective to buy.
The system doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the price.
[Robbing player points is a violation. 】
After consulting about the house prices, he lost interest in continuing shopping and hastily froze the remaining dozens of minutes, planning to use them again in a few days.
Before leaving the shell, he took one last look at the busy trading street. He had never been so eager to make money from the players.
Anyway, if we don't give him any profit, the money will be earned by the system in the end. It's better to let him be the middleman and make the difference!
It was almost afternoon at Yunshan Old House.
You can see the gorgeous sunset in the sky from the yard.
A group of busy ghosts were still integrating their recent harvest when they saw the door closest to the long table open.
The monsters were delighted.
They waved their limbs, some tossed their heads, and some opened their mouths wide to reveal their sharp teeth, welcoming the arrival of the owner of the safe house in a ghostly way.
As soon as Xu Zhiyan returned to the safe house, he saw all kinds of strange monsters and almost pulled his feet back.
What kind of welcome ceremony is this? It's hard to accept it no matter how many times I watch it! It's not as good as when everyone was as quiet as chickens when he came back from a serious injury.
Only Qu Ji and Lao Yang were still in normal human form, which made him feel somewhat relieved.
"Everyone has worked hard, let's finish it first."
After sending the ghosts away, Xu Zhiyan was finally able to sit down and take a breath.
He first looked at the courtyard with Qu Ji.
In the few days after he entered the dungeon, Qu Ji evolved into a qualified supervisor, supervising the players as they painted walls, dug ponds and planted turf all night long.
Today, the originally desolate and dilapidated yard has been transformed into a completely different look.
Red tiles, white walls and green grass.
There are four places for players to rest on both sides of the stone path leading from the courtyard gate.
There are two rest spots near the building, which are equipped with lounge chairs for great comfort.
Xu Zhiyan was very satisfied and looked at Qu Ji with admiration.
"Our safe houses need to be upgraded step by step. Only when the infrastructure is fully built and players feel at home, will the subsequent price increase be reasonable and convincing."
Qu Ji's eyes sparkled as he nodded in agreement, feeling that Mr. Xu was truly the wisest man in the world.
"Got it! Raise the price!"
It didn't understand anything else, it only understood the price increase.
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan had a gratified expression on his face, as if to say, "This young boy is teachable."
Check the yard.
Xu Zhiyan reluctantly returned to the building.
With Bai Jin's experience last time, he didn't want to get close to the ghost that merged with the big fool snake for the time being, for fear that the other party would lose his brain and say something earth-shattering.
Fortunately, the ghosts and gods still stayed obediently behind the shrine, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the still shabby and old hall, and the out-of-place express boxes piled up near the door.
"The outside is finished, it's time for the inside."
After saying this, he looked towards the ghost.
"After fusing with the Serpent God, how has your strength increased? Can you leave the long table now?"
After hearing this, several of the chains wrapped around the ghost's body broke instantly. He tried to move and nodded.
"Can."
I didn’t expect that the young man in front of me was still thinking about whether I could move... The ghost lowered his head, feeling that something was about to overflow from his empty chest.
However, this feeling of being touched did not last long.
Xu Zhiyan clapped his hands immediately, called Qu Ji, and immediately placed an order for new materials with a look of joy on his face.
"Great! I plan to install a fireplace in your original position. Since you can move, I don't need to leave room for you when planning the interior."
“…”
The ghost was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled.
Surely He shouldn't expect this heartless guy to think about Him?
But this time the ghosts and gods were wrong.
Xu Zhiyan was always thinking about his... tail.
After the order was placed, Xu Zhiyan finally had nothing to do.
He walked to the long table, and finally couldn't resist his curiosity, so he crawled under the table and reached out to lift the hem of the ghost's clothes.
"Party A, let me see how long your tail is. I think I won't be able to sleep well tonight if this problem is not solved."
The ghost stood there in a daze, listening to the young man's voice coming from under the table, and subconsciously stepped back a distance.
"Why are you running? I'm just taking a look, I won't do anything... Hey? Why is there an extra hole on your table?"
Under the table, Xu Zhiyan missed his attack and failed to lift the hem of the clothes, so he wanted to get out.
However, he unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be a hole under the shrine. Before, there had been a shrine blocking it, so he had not noticed it.
The ghost's face changed and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"
I felt so embarrassed when I saw the snake god’s performance before that I was so busy throwing at the shrine that I forgot to change the table!
