Chapter 109 Qingshan Hospital Dormitory Rental
As everyone expressed their opinions in Room 503, official players were recording and taking notes. This first-hand intelligence sharing would be brought back to reality tomorrow.
"You said that since players may be transformed into people in a strange world after death, the original inhabitants here must know about this." Sui Yan said.
Xiang Tianyi nodded immediately, "Yes. After a player dies, there will definitely be someone in the dungeon to handle it. They'll definitely all know about it. Also, if we assign tasks in Ghost City based on the characteristics of different players, someone will have to lead them. The veteran staff will definitely know about it."
Liu Yanran and Mo Fei both looked at her. Xiang Tian was stunned for a moment, then realized something from their gazes.
Back then, in Yinhuai Village, after Zhang Wei and Plaid Shand disappeared along with their coffins, Luo Qing said that there were only five people in the group, including the receptionist at the farmhouse and the tour group's driver, and everyone assumed this to be the case.
"It's very likely that everyone in the strange world is protecting these secrets." Ji Feishuang concluded.
Li Ying gave a wry smile. "It's just like 'The Truman Show.' Before this seven-day unexpected lockdown, everything we saw, knew, and understood in the dungeon was just a representation of what they were doing, but that doesn't mean it was real."
"But we explored the Ghost City out of our own will. Whether it was me at Qingshan Hospital or Miss Xiang at the photo studio, these were our individual actions and were not controlled by the dungeon's backstage. That's why we were able to discover what was behind the 'door.'"
Liu Yanran also spoke at this moment: "But fortunately, we can now gradually see the world outside the door."
"In that case, the indigenous people who make things difficult for players in some dungeons might also be hired by the dungeons." Cheng Lixue took the initiative to speak.
She turned to look at Li Ying. "Just like when we were the hotel experience officers at the Bubble Hot Spring Hotel, maybe the natives were also taking orders to harass the players and create difficulties."
"That makes sense." Li Ying nodded.
For example, during his physical examination at Qingshan Hospital today, Li Ying noticed that every patient had to scan a QR code first. The QR code scanner was likely used to verify each patient's information. In particular, during his stethoscope, the female player exclaimed, "He's not normal!" Then, another NPC, clearly a native, came over and checked Li Ying's information on the QR code scanner.
When doing the electrocardiogram, the code scanning was done externally, and the doctor inside might not have carefully read Li Ying's information. The doctor and the natives who were chatting at the time were all chatting without any scruples because they didn't know that Li Ying was a player.
"I think some indigenous people seem to be able to identify the identity of the players, but some of them cannot tell it unless we expose ourselves too actively," said Xiang Tianyi.
Everyone fell into deep thought again, and Liu Yanran stood up suddenly.
"My sister asked me to go to the store to work overtime. She brought back a bunch of tenants."
Li Ying quickly spoke up: "I ran into Luo Qing at Qingshan Hospital. Did he bring the players from the hospital dungeon here?"
"I can actually leave Qingshan Hospital? When I was a patient there, I couldn't leave the hospital at all."
"Maybe they're interns, and they have a shift system? Interns also have working hours."
The people in the room were discussing, and Li Ying recalled:
"I think there are at least a dozen people, maybe more. Do you want us to go over and help?"
"I'll go down and take a look first." Liu Yanran said.
If the group is just a dozen people, she and her sister can show them the house separately, and the process is still very fast.
When Liu Yanran walked from the residential complex to Ping An Real Estate, she saw a bus parked on the side of the road. Many players were standing there, looking around curiously, with cautious and worried expressions.
Wow, this is a bus!
The lights in the Ping An Real Estate store were already on. Liu Yanran hurried in and saw Luo Qing rummaging through the keys.
"Sister, I'm here. How many tenants are looking at the house?" she asked quickly.
When Luo Qing saw Liu Yanran, he felt a little relieved: "Just come."
"Come, let's get the keypad together and find the two habitable rooms you prepared earlier."
As she retrieved her keychain, she explained to Liu Yanran, "I went to Qingshan Hospital to see a friend today. We had dinner together that evening, so we were delayed a bit. Turns out, they've just hired a bunch of new interns and haven't arranged any accommodation for them."
"That's great now. The hospital's staff cars have been brought directly to Ping An Home, and we've found a house there to serve as a dormitory for them."
Liu Yanran understood. It turned out that it was not the players of Qingshan Hospital who took the initiative to cling to Luo Qing, but it was a government-sponsored dormitory!
"How do we sign the contract?" Liu Yanran asked, quickly finding the form she had prepared earlier.
"No need to sign with them. You can sign with the hospital later. It's okay. We are all acquaintances. The most urgent thing is that we can't leave them without a place to stay tonight. Qingshan Hospital is very busy, and they have to go to work tomorrow morning." Luo Qing said.
"Well, we have finally met a big customer. The hospital has signed a contract to build a dormitory for its employees. It definitely cannot be rented for one or two months. It has to be rented on an annual basis. Sister, this is a big business, and the payment is guaranteed." Liu Yanran said.
According to Liu Yanran's social experience, any property rented out to the public usually pays well, requires little work, and is paid quickly.
Luo Qing chuckled and said, "Let's look at the house first. Let's look at the house first."
"There are 35 people in this group. The accommodation standard provided by Qingshan Hospital is that each person has a single room. Unfortunately, our community is too old and there are no three-bedroom units. Otherwise, it would be much more convenient."
Liu Yanran exclaimed, "Wow," "The conditions arranged for employees are pretty good."
You know, except for a few relatively wealthy players, most players renting in Ping An Home are just scraping together and even sleeping in the same bed! Here, Qingshan Hospital directly provides single rooms for players who are employees.
Of course, it is also because the hospital’s welfare benefits are good. After all, this wave of players are only temporary employees. I wonder if the next wave of players who are brought in will still receive such treatment.
Luo Qing hummed, "This wave of interns probably won't be staying here for long, but the house will definitely be settled for the long term. If the staff turnover is frequent, we'll see if we can provide cleaning services."
The key ring was already in hand, and Luo Qing and Liu Yanran were taking inventory of the house.
"Sister, there is a two-bedroom apartment in Unit 3 of Building 9, which is the one Mo Fei didn't see before. There are not many vacant rooms in Building 10 either." Liu Yanran said as she looked at the form.
"This time we should focus on buildings five, six, seven, and eight, right?"
Luo Qing nodded, "Yes, I'm looking for a small two-bedroom apartment. These houses are more than enough."
The two of them went out with the key disk, and Luo Qing waved to the group of interns, "Come on, come on, fellow medical professionals, let's split into two teams. We have limited manpower. Follow me and Miss Liu to see the house."
"It's almost seven o'clock now. Let's try to speed up and finish looking at houses as soon as possible so that everyone can rest early after a busy day."
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still light, Luo Qing and Liu Yanran began to take people to see houses in a hurry. One went to Building No. 5 and the other went to Building No. 8.
"The hospital requires single rooms. If you are a couple or friends who plan to live together, you can tell me." Luo Qing said.
"After all, we have an odd number of people."
The players who left Qingshan Hospital had already taken off their white coats. None of them studied medicine. When they heard Luo Qing say "pillars of medicine", they suddenly felt guilty.
The Qingshan Hospital dungeon has always been a multi-day dungeon, but the players who entered the dungeon in the past were basically patients and naturally hospitalized.
He Huan and his group can be said to be the first wave of players with the identity of "intern".
The team of players following Luo Qing only dared to speak to each other in a low voice and observe the surrounding environment.
They had all seen the rental posts about Ping'an Home on the forum, but they never expected that some of these players had originally planned to rent a house after completing the dungeon. As a result, now the hospital has arranged it directly, allowing the players to experience the feeling of living in the ghost city in advance.
"It seems like a lot of players before them shared a room, and usually people of the same gender slept in the same room, so they could take care of each other if anything happened."
"We should be in a safe zone now, right? Although the dungeon isn't over yet, we've left Qingshan Hospital. It's supposed to be off duty now, so there shouldn't be any danger, right?"
"The one they're following is the player mentioned in the post, right? After we're done looking at the house, we should be able to ask someone in the bureau about the situation."
The players followed Luo Qing to Building No. 5 with nervous hearts, whispering to each other.
Luo Qing was very conspicuous as he entered the community with a large group of people following him. It was the time when many neighbors in the community were taking a walk after dinner, and they greeted each other when they saw him.
"Qing'er, we're looking at houses again. There are so many people here. We have to work overtime tonight."
"I see Miss Xiao Liu has brought quite a few people with her. She has a large family and a large business now, and she's getting stronger and stronger."
"Thank you for your kind words. It's getting dark soon, so let's take a quick look at the lighting now. No more words." Luo Qing waved her hand. If she was not busy at other times, she could still chat with her familiar neighbors, but now was not the time to gossip.
"You keep busy."
"Let's go and see the house."
Luo Qing led his men into Unit 1 of Building 5, and quickly opened the first room with the key pad in hand.
"My dear friends, the houses in Building No. 5 are mainly small two-bedroom units. Each unit has three households, and the living space is between 60 and 75 square meters." She introduced, and the players followed her into the house, while some stood in the corridor and did not go in to take a look.
After all, if 20 people are squeezed into a 60-square-meter house, there really isn't enough space.
Because they are not renting the room in person, and there are so many people, their turn will come sooner or later. Some players are not in a hurry and just wait outside.
For a two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters, the kitchen and bathroom have inevitably been compressed. The two bedrooms are one large and one small, and the basic furniture is complete.
On the road where Luo Qing had just walked, some familiar players from the day had already formed groups with each other.
So after a quick look at the house and testing the water and electricity, the first group of two players decided on this one.
"OK, you two have chosen this one, right? Please register your names and ID numbers with me, and I will take other friends to continue looking at houses." Luo Qing said, making quick notes on his mobile phone, and soon opened the next room.
"Let's take this one." Two more players who had formed a good team reserved a house. They basically just looked around and confirmed that the water and electricity were working properly.
Luo Qing was a little stunned by how quickly they made the decision, but it was understandable because it was a staff dormitory, not a house they rented, so the expectations were low and the decision was made quickly.
In this way, Luo Qing's rental process can be described as "short, flat and fast". She opened the door, the two people sharing the dormitory confirmed that everything was correct, signed their IDs, handed over the keys, and continued to the next room.
Luo Qing was followed by eighteen people, and in the end they rented out nine rooms in total, just enough to sell out all the empty rooms in the three units of Building No. 5.
Rent out one building at a time!
Although it’s a bit tiring to carry so many keys up and down, and the rent hasn’t been paid yet, it feels great!
All the vacant rooms in Building No. 5 have been temporarily cleared, so we don’t have to worry about this building anymore!
Compared with Luo Qing, Liu Yanran was a little slower in showing houses. This was mainly due to the fact that Liu Yanran was considered "one of our own" in the eyes of the players. On the way to showing houses, she asked one question after another, which could be called a hundred thousand whys.
Because players had seen strange things happening at night on the forum before, they checked more carefully.
Luo Qing had already cleared out the vacant rooms in Building 5, and Liu Yanran was just looking at the sixth room when she received a call from Luo Qing, "Hey, sister, I'm looking at the sixth room. It's okay, it's okay, no need, it'll be soon. I'm in Unit 3 of Building 8, so I can open up several vacant rooms at once for tenants to see. No need for you to come over."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yanran also sped up her house-hunting.
"Comrade Liu, if we live in this dormitory, can we obtain temporary resident status in Guicheng?"
Hearing this question, Liu Yanran shook her head: "I don't know either. All the players who came here before signed their own contracts. This is the first time I've come across this since I started working at Ping An Real Estate, as it belongs to the hospital staff dormitory."
After answering the question, Liu Yanran spoke like a machine gun:
"This room is a 75-square-meter two-bedroom apartment. The overall space is quite large. The master bedroom has a bed and wardrobe, and the second bedroom has a single bed and a desk..."
She quickly introduced the general situation of the room. At this time, there were only six players left with Liu Yanran.
Soon, the 17 players who followed Liu Yanran were all arranged. Originally, there was a room missing, so Liu Yanran suggested taking them to Building 7. The two players were unwilling to go no matter what. Everyone else was in one building, and they were scared just thinking about living in one building with the natives.
Finally, Liu Yanran took the two people to Room 401, Unit 3, Building 9, which was the house that Cui Xiangwanyue and Xia Tian had rented, and which caused the water pipes in the entire community to burst.
Of course, now the room is brand new and fully furnished. When the two players learned that a large number of early renters and official players were living here, they were immediately very satisfied.
Most of these players brought their own luggage, some out of personal habit, some planning to rent a house, and the rest who didn't have luggage came to the official side to borrow on credit.
That night, Ping An Real Estate rented out 17 rooms, completing the process of renting out all the vacant rooms in Buildings 5, 8, and 9.
Because there was no need to sign a contract and only record was made, Liu Yanran sent her room number and the player's name and ID number to Luo Qing, and was then urged by Luo Qing to leave work.
By the way, Luo Qing also transferred some money to her.
【Luo Qing】：Luo Qing will transfer 150.00 Gui coins to you
[Luo Qing]: Xiao Liu, this is your overtime pay for tonight.
Liu Yanran was stunned when she saw the transfer. This overtime pay was calculated based on her previous day's part-time work! In fact, the overtime hours tonight were only a little over two hours.
[Luo Qing]: The agency fee for showing the eight rooms for rent will be given to you at the end of the month after the hospital signs the contract and settles the bill.
Liu Yanran:!!!
What? Besides overtime pay, they also want to pay her an agency fee? Liu Yanran quickly sent a message to refuse.
Liu Yanran: Sister, please don't. Please don't. You brought all these customers here, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just here to work overtime. You've already paid me for the overtime.
[Luo Qing]: Overtime pay is compensation for the rest time you lose due to overtime. Brokerage fees are your legitimate income from your work as a real estate agent. The two are separate and do not conflict. If you work, you get what you earn.
[Luo Qing]: You've worked hard tonight, go to bed early. [Hug]
Liu Yanran had already returned to her rented house, while Li Ying, Xiang Tianyi and others had gone back to their respective homes because it was late.
She was speechless for a moment when she saw the message Luo Qing sent her. Her sister was so nice to her.
In reality, when a girl helps her boss with client reception, how can she actually just give them this commission? Usually, they'll just give her some overtime pay, or even a gift. Sometimes, they'll work you to death without even a simple thank you.
Luo Qing was so good to her, so good indeed.
Even though Liu Yanran tried her best to remain neutral as an official guest and observe the other party's position, she couldn't help but be biased towards Luo Qing in her heart.
If I put aside the identity of an official player, I would just be a real estate agent. With the treatment I receive, I would want to work like a slave for you and die for you. How could I have the honor to meet such a good boss?
Regardless of whether she was the first tenant or the first worker in Guicheng, Liu Yanran certainly had her own courage, but she also received a lot of kindness and help from Luo Qing along the way.
Even though my sister kept saying that it was Liu Yanran who brought her a tenant from the same hometown, Liu Yanran knew very well that the matter of renting a house was spread little by little in the forum and had little to do with her. It continued to spread through the sharing of players.
Whether it is help, kindness, or feedback, the affection between people can never be calculated or measured by numbers.
No matter how you look at it, from a personal point of view, Liu Yanran owes Luo Qing a lot.
Liu Yanran was lying on the bed in the bedroom, tossing and turning like a salted fish, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.
Sister, who are you and what is the purpose of the copy?
On the mobile phone, there are constant messages in several groups.
Originally, Luo Qing asked Liu Yanran to create a group chat to send various information to the tenants, but since Luo Qing was there, many messages were inconvenient to send, so the players created another group chat where Luo Qing was not present.
Of course, the players who are interns in the [Qingshan Hospital] copy tonight are not in the group chat, but in a separate hospital group chat.
At this moment, the tenants in the group were obviously tagging her to inquire about the situation, and there were also players at work reporting.
Foreigners from all over the world, unite!
[Cui Xiangwan]: Our overall part-time job content today is still learning to dance, interact in various aspects, smile, and put on makeup.
[Xiang Tianyi]: Is there any special place in the paradise?
[Li Xiang]: No, we had a lunch break and went out for a walk separately. There was nothing unusual at all. Although there were not many tourists, they still seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Cheng Lixue: [Stupid]
Li Ying: @刘嫣然, has the new fellow from your hometown rented a place? Does Comrade Liu have any new news?
Liu Yanran saw the message and started typing a reply.
[Liu Yanran]: They are all rented. It’s not an individual renting a room, but Qingshan Hospital renting a dormitory to these players who are doctors.
Murphy: Are workers also provided with dormitories? Are all these people doctors?
[Liu Yanran]: Some of them are interns, some are medical assistants, and some are nurses. But among these 35 people, not a single one is actually related to medicine.
Xia Tian: What's going on? So many people are coming to Qingshan Hospital? Are these major hospitals starting to expand their staffing?
Li Ying: They're all about physical examinations, and there aren't any technical requirements. They're probably dealing with the surge in Indigenous medical examinations after the seven-day lockdown, and the hospital must be short-staffed.
[Yue Ye]: So why didn’t they directly recruit professional and technical workers this time like the Harmonious Community did?
Liu Yanran: I guess. If Qingshan Hospital truly hired skilled doctors and nurses this time, they might be able to directly detect abnormalities in the locals. Even if there are abnormalities, they would have commonalities in medical observation. On the other hand, non-professionals have no knowledge and naturally won't be able to detect them.
As soon as Liu Yanran made her guess, she immediately received a lot of agreement. This guess was very reasonable.
[Sui Yan]: Just now, a few doctors came to borrow luggage and told us that the work they were doing was not related to technology. The key point was that their "internship period" did not have a clear end date.
Li Xiang: What do you mean, are they permanently here? Or are they still working part-time?
[Li Ying]: My personal immature idea is that if this group of players were brought in to deal with local people's physical examinations, these skilled workers who do basic work may have been kept in the hospital until the hospital's patient flow decreases.
[Xia Tian]: Are you really working illegally?
After these words were spoken, the whole group was silent for a while. It must be said that Xia Tian’s summary was very accurate.
The temporary residents were chatting animatedly in the group, and Luo Qing was also busy registering the seventeen rooms one by one at home.
My husband was originally scheduled to return to Guicheng yesterday, but something went wrong and he was delayed, so he has to postpone it for a few days.
Luo Qing kept typing on his laptop. This time, the house was rented out to a group of people as a dormitory, but it was still renting a house, except that there were more contracts to prepare.
Seventeen rooms were rented out in one day, setting a record. Woohoo, take off!
It was a little after ten o'clock in the evening, and Luo Qing was not too sleepy yet. She planned to stay up a little longer.
After all, seventeen rooms were rented out today. If she went to bed early, something would inevitably disturb her and force her to get up in the middle of the night, preventing her from sleeping well. So she decided to take precautions today.
At 11:30 in the evening, Luo Qing paused and looked at her mobile phone.
The new wave of interns who arrived tonight are @ing her in the group!
