Chapter 64 Safe House
The blood-red town ushered in a foggy morning.
The fog covers this place all day long, and only at noon every day, for a dozen minutes or so, the sun can penetrate the clouds and fall to the ground.
Lin Shao in the center of the screen did not look as embarrassed as he did yesterday.
His clothes and hair were all kept clean, and other than the fact that he walked with his hands and feet tied to his waist, there were no other problems.
Xu Zhiyan bet three million points on Lin Shao.
Although banner pop-ups will not appear when players make private guesses, the number is indeed not small. As others spread the word, Xu Zhiyan, Lin Shao, and even Lu 7 became popular.
As soon as Lin Shao's live broadcast room was restored, it attracted a lot of discussion from players.
[Let me see what is worth three million! ]
[Was this what he wore yesterday? Why do I feel like he changed his clothes? ]
[…I think so. I changed my shoes to sneakers.]
[What the hell? Didn't he go to the safe house yesterday? From my impression, the safe house was shabby and shabby, just a place to take a breath.]
[What lucky goose upstairs? He actually found a safe house! ! ! ! ]
[But it is said that the safe house was under renovation some time ago? Last time I watched the live broadcast, someone in the barrage said that he was caught painting walls and digging ponds. ]
[? ? Digging a pond? Seriously? ]
Xu Zhiyan lazily lay on a recliner in the yard holding his phone, and finally saw a satisfying comment.
Low-level players flock to safe houses because they have no ability to deal with the dangers in the dark and are eager to find a safe shelter in the game.
You can substitute Xu Zhiyan for yourself.
If it were him, would he want to hide in there all night?
No, of course not!
The more dangerous the place, the greater the benefits.
He might hide in there in extremely dangerous situations, but when the deadly danger is gone, he will definitely leave here.
The safe house system sensed that its host was staring at the live broadcast in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
[Host! Lin Shao is ready to start killing monsters! Don’t you want to watch? What are you thinking about? Are you excited?]
Anyway, it's quite exciting when it comes to the thought of advertising.
Xu Zhiyan glanced at Lin Shao on the screen and replied calmly: "I'm thinking about our future upgrade plan."
[So how did you come up with this advertising method? You are amazing!]
The system made no effort to conceal its amazement.
Qu Ji, who was passing by, heard it and nodded frantically. Other monsters also came over and looked at the new owner of the safe house with admiration.
In response, Xu Zhiyan shrugged and did not feel proud of thinking about the advertisement.
His businessman nature made him never stop thinking.
The next step is to start a customized project for players. However, based on the main system's insight, it is estimated that he will be placed in a punishment copy soon.
And if he puts himself in the main system, they will definitely create a large copy that will prevent him from getting out for a while, and it would be best if he could die in it.
So before entering, he needs to arrange all other things.
Party A's ghost looks like a beautiful, wealthy lady who is out of touch with the world. He has already accepted his fate and does not plan to assign any job to her. He just wants her to be a pretty vase in the safe house.
The real work is done by the monsters.
They are the backbone of the safe house!
It's time to give everyone a little boost.
"If I were an ordinary player, and I encountered a safe house at the beginning when the consumption was not large, I might not use up all the free time at all. Instead, I would use the free time in the safe house to complete the level later."
The levels of safe houses now open to the public are getting higher and higher, which means that the players who come later will no longer be stupid newcomers.
"The more people know about the game, the less likely they are to give up time to explore during dangerous times of night."
He knocked on the table, suggesting something.
"Of course, the higher the level of the player, the more points they have, and the more we can earn."
"If we can't launch more services that meet the needs of high-level players, safe houses will only be high-level useless and sought after by low-level players."
As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan stood up, looked at the unfinished safe house building, and asked the system in a sad tone.
"Are you willing to live your whole life in rags and rags, taking in low-level players? Are you willing to be called useless by high-level players?"
[No! I won’t accept this! ! !]
The system inexplicably became excited.
Xu Zhiyan raised the corner of his mouth, glanced at the other monsters watching, and shook his head and asked: "What about you?"
"Are you willing to remain unknown?"
"Are you willing to stay in this safe house until the end of time without any other players knowing about you? Don't you want to see the players' expressions of surprise, fear, and joy when they mention you in the comments?"
He reached out and patted the elastic skin of the swollen monster that had just squeezed out from the crack in the door, and his tone softened a lot.
"Not only does the safe house need you, I need you, and the players heading to the safe house also need you!"
The other monsters who were eavesdropping were stunned.
They...they really haven't thought about it!
But that doesn't stop them from starting to imagine now!
Ghosts are born in safe houses. They don’t know the meaning of their existence. Their instinct to seek profit and avoid harm makes them obey the orders of ghosts and gods.
But ghosts and gods have no memories. They are in a daze and don’t care about the monsters.
Therefore, they never thought that one day, they would be needed, liked, and admired by players.
The monsters' eyes lit up when they saw the safe house.
Xu Zhiyan nodded with satisfaction and added fuel to the fire.
"Tell me, are you willing to remain as you are?"
The monsters' responses were mixed but passionate.
"No...I'm not willing to accept this."
“I’m not willing to accept this!!!”
"Wuwuwu no…"
“…”
Looking at everyone working even harder, Xu Zhiyan smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good. In the next period of time, I will write a detailed customized content form. At that time, Qu Ji and Lao Yang will communicate with the players in human form, and the others will do the subsequent logistical work."
The monsters nodded one after another, wishing they could go to the safe houses they were responsible for right now and catch players to pay for customized items.
In the afternoon, the yard of the safe house was quiet and pleasant.
Xu Zhiyan took a sip of juice and listened to Lin Shao's gradual transformation from shy to smooth in the live broadcast room, feeling very satisfied.
At first, Lin Shao was hesitant when using the props and his voice was very low, which made the barrage in the live broadcast room look very strange, and people thought it was some new spell.
Until the sharp pure silver dagger really stabbed to death the monster resident who was about to kill Lin Shao.
The barrage was all confused.
【What the hell? What the hell? 】
[? ? Where did this knife come from? What's going on? ? Can someone explain it to me? ? Did I miss it? ]
[Hmm? Why do I have so many question marks, kid? ]
[Fuck, this knife is awesome! It's much sharper than the one the long-legged girl next door has. ]
Lin Shaoke didn't know what the barrage was thinking.
He sat slumped on the ground for a while, his chest heaving up and down as he gasped for breath.
Two minutes later, Lin Shao suddenly seemed to think of something, raised the dagger, cleared his throat and shouted "Advertisement".
"Pure...pure silver dagger! Safe, custom made for the safe house! Good quality and low price! Here we have everything you want!"
The barrage was strangely silent for a moment, and suddenly broke out into a heated discussion.
【？ ？ ？ ？ ？ 】
【Wh? What? ? 】
[Is this the dungeon safe house I was thinking of? ]
[Fuck, it seems like that? What the hell is this? ]
[Safe House bought an ad? ]
[Fuck you! I have never heard of this advertising method! ]
[This is so weird, I want to call my teammates to come and see]
[Aren’t safe houses only for players to rest? Now they also sell weapons? ]
[I don't think this should be a weapon. Could it be some kind of item customized according to the player's current instance?]
As soon as this speculation came out, the players were excited!
You should know that the mall cannot be opened while the game is in progress, so even if players know what items can be used to deal with the problem, they cannot purchase them in time.
It is impossible to be completely prepared in advance, there will always be omissions.
If the safe house can supply these in time...
The players were very excited. If this advertisement was true, then even in the most advanced dungeons, there would be things that players would need.
On the other side, after Lin Shao successfully killed the monster for the first time and shouted the Guang... spell in a pious tone, it was as if a floodgate had been opened. He was no longer shy and completely let himself go.
I kept running along the main line until almost nightfall.
He estimated that he had almost caught up with the main storyline and had basically figured out the weaknesses of the monsters in the town.
As the sun was about to set, he kicked open the door of the town's decoration company with a cross in his left hand, a solar light bulb in his right hand, and a bunch of garlic hanging around his neck.
"Bang--"
The noise was so loud that several pairs of eyes suddenly lit up in the dark room.
The red eyes do not look like those of humans, but more like those of some cold-blooded creatures, with a desire for flesh and blood.
Before they could pounce on him.
Only a steady voice could be heard from the darkness.
“Long live the safe house custom products!”
"It's so useful! I don't allow anyone watching the live broadcast to know that Safe House can customize its products!"
As he spoke, Lin Shao turned on the light bulb.
“Ahhh—”
“Woo woo…”
The solar light bulb emitted a dazzling light, which made all the monsters in the room unable to move. They lay on the ground and twisted around, completely losing their fighting ability.
Lin Shao didn't know how this worked, but it was surprisingly useful against monsters.
He is now so overwhelmed by what the safe house has given him that he wants to kneel down and kowtow. He has no psychological burden at all when advertising.
Xu Zhiyan was very satisfied.
It was worth it that he went to several stores yesterday afternoon to buy the 65W solar light bulb. He even had to persuade the store owner to sell him a fully charged display at a discount.
In the center of the screen, Lin Shao hung the solar light bulb on the door, deftly tied up all the decorators needed for the safe house, piled them up on a cart, and dragged the cart towards the swamp.
Xu Zhiyan stood up and clapped his hands, signaling Liuliu to take a few more rings that could change the monster's state, and go to the door to welcome the upcoming new partner.
Afraid that the idiot Lin Shao would see him acting out the 'Xu Ba Pi, don't try to trick me' act again, he shook his head and hid upstairs.
A few minutes later, Lin Shao and Liu Liu worked together to gather all the decoration teams in the town at once.
Xu Zhiyan felt relieved and leaned against the window.
The system couldn't help but jump out and asked worriedly.
[But! Host, is this not a good thing for you? After all, you just bet on Lin Shao by 3 million points, and he made a comeback on the spot, got the help of the safe house, and 99% became the first in this game. Will this affect you?]
It felt like such a coincidence.
Other players with higher IQ will definitely be able to see it!
Unexpectedly, when Xu Zhiyan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he opened the live broadcast room and took a look.
There were indeed a few people who began to doubt his relationship with the safe house.
Without a second thought, Xu Zhiyan grabbed the keyboard and started typing away, posting a very sincere new comment.
[Actually, I have invested in Safe House. I know that Lin Shao found Safe House and that Safe House can customize products, so I bet 3 million on him.]
The system was shocked and wanted to shake its host back.
[Withdraw! How can this be! Doesn’t this affect you?!]
But the barrage of comments in the next second left the system dumbfounded.
【Just brag about the small million. 】
[Hahahaha, you are worthy of being a small millionaire, you just speak without hesitation! ]
[Do you think we will believe it? ]
[Only a fool would be fooled! I still remember you pretending to be a boss to cheat items from players before! ]
[I, Xu Baiwan, want to transfer money, understand? ]
[Tsk tsk, Xiao Baiwan, you are really lucky, a blind cat meets a dead mouse. ]
[But it's still a bit difficult to use the safe house identity to defraud money. Who is so stupid to believe it? You should take a break, hahahaha]
[……]The system doesn’t know how to answer.
"Look."
Xu Zhiyan shrugged with a complicated expression.
"They don't believe what an honest businessman like me says. Can they blame me for being cheated?"
