Chapter 41: Unexpected Additional Rules
Following the countdown given by the prompt, Lin Jiu opened the door on time at eight o'clock and walked out.
The moment the door closed, a cold breath spread in the corridor. If you feel carefully, you will find that this breath comes from other rooms.
Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
A show of force?
It's good to show your power, isn't this a perfect target for venting anger?
Thinking of the scene of blood splattering, Lin Jiu licked his upper lip with his tongue, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly suppressed the bloody thoughts in his mind.
Without chocolate, Lin Jiu still planned to play the game normally and see which resident on this floor would get unlucky first.
At the same time, all the residents on the entire floor shook their bodies in unison.
It’s strange, why do I feel a chill on my back?
At this time, Lin Jiu had already arrived next door, which was in front of door 102.
He was also not polite. He raised his hand and knocked on the door hard, as if he wanted to break it.
"It's time to collect the rent! Open the door quickly!" Lin Jiu's tone was filled with a hint of impatience.
According to the rules, the role of "landlady" is very powerful, and players can use this identity to exert a certain degree of pressure on the residents here.
But the prerequisite is that you cannot show any fear.
After all, in the world of rule-based weird stories, being able to hide one's emotions well will undoubtedly create a higher survival rate for oneself.
The more fearful they appear, the more arrogant the weirdness will become, and the final result can be imagined.
Relying on the identity given by the game to make strong actions can also appropriately restrain weird behavior. At least in this kind of copy that requires "role-playing", this is a good advantage for players.
It’s true that humans are weak, but their identities are powerful, and even weird people have to abide by their own rules.
As soon as Lin Jiu's strong aura was released, the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the corridor on the first floor dissipated a lot.
“Here it comes!”
A voice came from room 102, and soon the door opened from the inside.
"Good morning, Miss Lin." The resident of Household 102 was a young woman. She first greeted Lin Jiu with a slight smile, and then obediently handed over the bag containing the rent.
Lin Jiu nodded without saying anything. He took the purse, took out the money and started counting it.
The rules did not specify the rent, and Lin Jiu did not deliberately explore the room. The reason was simple: he could cheat.
[The rent for the first-floor tenant is 2500 strange points per month~]
Hint naturally couldn't let go of the opportunity to be praised by Lin Jiu for being sensible, so he immediately started cheating mode.
The tenants of Household 102 looked at Lin Jiu and sneered in their hearts when they saw that he didn't even bring the account book to record the rent collection.
She was ready to kill the stupid human.
Soon, Lin Jiu counted the strange points inside. He put away the money bag, looked up at the resident of 102 coldly, and said, "One is missing."
The resident of Room 102's face froze, but she quickly adjusted herself.
She curled her lips and smiled slightly, leaning lazily against the door, lifting her hair, and said with a smile: "Oh, Miss Lin, I have lived here for so long, for the sake of being an old resident..."
The resident of Room 102 suddenly paused because Lin Jiu had already drawn his gun.
The moment Lin Jiu grasped the pistol, this ordinary pistol turned into a strange prop that could kill weirdos.
"I don't want this to happen again." Lin Jiu pointed his gun at the forehead of the resident in room 102. Seeing his terrified expression, he raised his chin slightly and said, "If you don't want to die, pay the money quickly. I'm in a hurry."
With Lin Jiu's friendly reminder, the resident of Room 102 shakily paid the remaining rent.
After collecting the rent, Lin Jiu turned around and left. The resident of Room 102 didn't want to stay with Lin Jiu any longer, so he turned around and closed the door.
After putting the rent into the bag, Lin Jiu slowly came to household 103.
The resident of 103 is a middle-aged man. Unlike the other weird people who tried every means to strike up a conversation, this middle-aged man remained silent from opening the door to scanning the code to pay.
But Lin Jiu could clearly feel the malice emanating from the middle-aged man towards him, but until the end, the middle-aged man did not make any move, and Lin Jiu did not take any action either.
The next few residents tried to make Lin Jiu break the rules, but they all behaved themselves the moment Lin Jiu drew his gun.
Feeling that it was troublesome, Lin Jiu simply collected rent with a gun, and even up to the last tenant on the first floor, there was not a single dishonest person.
The weirdness on the first floor was very weak, and Lin Jiu had no intention of taking action.
He glanced at the door number 110 and walked towards the elevator.
There are ten residents on each floor, so the difficulty is still not high at the moment, or rather it is very simple?
Lin Jiu came to the elevator and always felt that something was strange.
The information given by the rules is incomplete in several places. Although the rules do deliberately conceal some information, this time the rules are more like deliberate non-disclosure than concealment.
Lin Jiu withdrew his hand from pressing the elevator button and turned to walk towards 101.
The strange rules will not cut off the player's escape route, at most it will dig a hole and wait for the player to jump into it.
Sure enough, after returning home, Lin Jiu found a new note on the shoe cabinet.
This wave is really unpredictable.
However, probably no players will be eliminated or injured in this wave. After all, Lin Jiu knows that people from many countries are watching his progress so they can copy his homework at any time.
Lin Jiu reached out and picked up the note. Seeing the contents on it, even he couldn't help but curse under his breath, "How disgusting!"
【Notes on rent collection:】
[1. This building has a total of twenty floors, with ten households on each floor.]
【2. Remember to complete the daily rent collection within two hours.】
[3. If a tenant is away from home for some reason, you can temporarily withhold rent, but you must receive rent by the end of the rent collection day. Don't worry, they will be home one day.]
【4. The entire building is fully occupied, there are no vacancies.】
[5. Room 404 does not exist.]
【Additional content:】
[1. The rent for residents on the first to tenth floors is uniformly NT$2,500, and for those above that it is NT$2,800, and for the twentieth floor it is NT$3,000.]
2. The tenants in arrears with rent are: 201, 610, 802, 1102, 1601.
[3. The tenants whose contracts are about to expire are: 404, 702, 1206, 1409, 2009]
For Lin Jiu, it is actually not a big problem. With the hint, he will definitely not make a mistake. Even if there is no hint, he can still kill Guiyi if he makes a mistake.
However, it is quite fatal to other players.
But if you think about it carefully, if you do this, you will be eliminated. After this wave, it is estimated that only a few can survive. In serious cases, maybe only Lin Jiu can survive.
Although the elimination rate of Rule Tales is horrible, such a horrible elimination rate should not appear in low-level copies.
Therefore, players who make mistakes are likely to be missing limbs or an internal organ.
If you're lucky, maybe just a broken finger, missing an ear or something like that...
Lin Jiu sighed lightly and shook his head:
"You should thank me, otherwise... you'd all be dead~"
