Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 18 The joy of expansion and baking

Twenty golden materials!

Even if there is a limit of adding 1 for each draw, it is enough for Jiang Ke to draw five times.

Full of confidence, she clicked on the vending machine. Just as she was gearing up to get rid of the card, she was surprised to find...

What appears in the vending machine is not the shelf that I saw before, but it turns into a light curtain.

The light curtain is divided into three areas.

The first is to extract facilities, the second is to expand facilities and ancillary modules, and the third is some miscellaneous things.

And in each block, there are no less than eight kinds of things.

Adding up the bits and pieces, there are probably no less than forty kinds!

Jiang Ke was stunned.

"This, this... multiple limited card pools? Where did you learn this bad habit?"

She reached out and knocked on the iron shell of the vending machine, and couldn't help but said: "Are you okay?"

The vending machine naturally showed no response.

In other words, Jiang Ke would be shocked if it reacted.

But even if the card pool deceives people, Jiang Ke can only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. After all, the shop is the only one bullying customers, so what can he do if he doesn't smoke?

She carefully read the contents of the three card pools, then reached out and picked up two golden materials and put them into the vending machine.

The light spots transformed from golden material fell into the card pool representing [Apartment Facilities].

The light spot turned into a ray of light, flying everywhere, and finally shot down a light spot that represented the prize.

A light spot fell on the screen, and then a card popped out of the pickup port.

The card shows a blue ocean, with many sea creatures faintly visible swimming in the ocean.

There is a small asterisk in the corner of the card, which means it can only be obtained by lottery.

[Increased apartment facilities·Xiaoyuhai]

[①: 3~6 types of sea creatures are randomly produced every 72 hours

②: The growth rate of sea creatures increases by 30%

③: There is a chance of producing special species in the sea]

[Note: The produced species can be raised for a long time by unlocking slots. The production of special species can increase the probability and type through template plug-ins. To upgrade this facility, you need to randomly draw and obtain: Xiaoyuhai upgrade module]

"It's good to be able to produce sea fish...but the sea fish have spines or not."

Jiang Ke frowned. As someone who doesn't like fish that much, this thing is better than nothing.

Shaking his head and putting it aside temporarily, Jiang Ke picked up the three materials and chose the extraction facility again.

It seemed that there was a cushion from last time, and what appeared this time made Jiang Ke's eyes light up, and he immediately burst into laughter.

[Increased apartment facilities·Ziyuan Spring Pool]

[A hot spring bath with excellent recuperative and body-nourishing effects. In it, you can enjoy yourself and recover from physical and mental fatigue]

"I didn't draw the hot spring last time, but this time I got an enhanced version. I'm really lucky."

Jiang Ke looked at it with satisfaction, and then put it aside first.

Let's wait until everything is exhausted before activating it together.

This time she picked up four and threw them in. Just when she was about to choose, she suddenly remembered what Zhao Ting said.

"Expand the restaurant..."

She murmured to herself and chose to draw the card pool for facility expansion and ancillary modules.

But good luck would not come as she expected, and a card named [Apartment Facility Accessory Module·Front Desk] fell out of the outlet.

Speechless.

It is almost the worst among all facilities.

"Come again!"

Jiang Ke grabbed five this time and threw them into the card pool for drawing expansion facilities again.

She didn't know what to say about the stuff that came out this time...it seemed like it was being shipped?

[Apartment facilities attached module·Restaurant·Grilling]

[Add (grilled) food types to the menu. There are ten types for the first time, and you can use gold coins to unlock more dishes]

"It's good to have barbecue in the summer, but it's a pity that there's no ice-cold water. But it can be regarded as completing Zhao Ting's mission..."

Jiang Ke nodded with satisfaction and looked at the remaining six ingredients.

This is the last chance to draw.

After much hesitation, she chose the third card pool this time, which was a completely random draw card pool.

This time she was satisfied with the lottery, so she just drew randomly.

Anyway, I guess my luck has run out.

But what she didn't expect was...

"Ding~"

The vending machine suddenly made a crisp sound, and then she saw a card appearing at the pickup port.

There is also a star in the corner of the card, which represents the star that can only be obtained by drawing. It's just that there is a gold rim around the star.

"Prop house?"

Jiang Ke reached out and took it over, looking at it doubtfully.

[Special facilities in the apartment·prop house]

[In the prop house, ten kinds of props with magical effects will be refreshed every seventy-two hours]

[Note: You can force refresh by spending money, or you can choose to rent and keep it for a long time. The rented props will not occupy the refresh slot]

"This explanation is too abstract, isn't it, a magical prop? What is magical? Is it as magical as a blue cat-shaped robot with round hands?"

After thinking and checking to no avail, Jiang Ke decided to give up thinking temporarily.

She collected all the cards and planned to show them to everyone during dinner and then activate them again.

Because she didn’t know whether these expansion modules would affect the apartment, and it would be bad if someone was injured during the construction (?).

Also, these were drawn from the materials Zhao Ting brought back, so others must know his credit.

…

In the evening, everyone gathered in the restaurant after finishing their work for the day.

Since the tables cannot be moved or shared, they sit separately in twos and threes. But basically, men sit together and girls sit together.

Oh, of course Gu Xinyun sat with his mother.

Everyone seemed to be having a great time on this day, and everyone was smiling.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Ke cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I have something to say."

The conversation among the people suddenly stopped, and they all looked at Jiang Ke with doubts on their faces.

Jiang Ke stood up and walked to Zhao Ting's side.

"This is the first guest who checked in at that time. His name is Zhao Ting. He has been out on adventures these days, so you probably don't know him."

"He brought back twenty pieces of golden materials this time. He asked me to draw prizes five times, and then I got these."

Jiang Ke took out a stack of apartment expansion modules in the form of cards from his pocket and showed them to everyone.

"These are cards that allow you to expand your apartment and add facilities, including grilled food modules for restaurants, hot springs, and fishing seas..."

"You can come and take a look. I will use them after you finish reading them."

Upon hearing this, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, gathered around Jiang Ke, and passed the cards one by one. Within a few minutes, the cards were passed back to Jiang Ke's hand.

They first expressed their gratitude to Zhao Ting, and then urged Jiang Ke to use it quickly.

"Sister, you should use it quickly!"

"Yes, yes, use it quickly. We want to see it."

"Let's talk after using it."

When Jiang Ke heard what they said, he didn't hesitate and applied all the cards directly.

Naturally, the first thing to change was the restaurant.

I saw the restaurant's menu light up slightly, with a flash of colorful light, and there was a new category on it: grilled food

At the same time, another dining outlet in the restaurant has also been unlocked.

Some people who couldn't wait to pick up the menu and took a look at it immediately burst into laughter.

Liu Zexing said loudly: "There are grilled mutton skewers, grilled fish and so on. Let's see what you can eat. I'll treat you today!"

"I'll give you a treat today, and everyone can eat whatever you want."

Jiang Ke also took a look at the menu, which was full of very ordinary grilled items such as: grilled lamb skewers, grilled kebabs, grilled sweet potato skins and the like.

The price of a bunch of fifty coppers wouldn't cost her much even if it fed seven or eight people.

Besides, if you are happy today, spending some money will make you happier.

"Sister Jiang is amazing!"

Liu Zexing and Wu Yu followed suit, and then they went to order food together after asking everyone's opinions.

Not long after, neat plates of baked goods were delivered from the dining outlet.

Neatly skewered pieces of meat exude the unique aroma of mutton, cumin, and chili.

This skewer of fifty-copper mutton skewers probably weighs half a catty, and is full of fat and lean meat.

The fat of the mutton is still dripping "sizzlingly".

The grilled sweet potato skins and gluten-free vegetarian skewers ordered by Liu Yuehong and Gu Ziyi were also quickly produced.

All of them are large in size and look great, which makes people confused just by looking at them.

You know, the food in the restaurant is delicious, but how can it be so straightforward with so much meat?

What's more, it was baked to perfection.

Carnivores who haven't eaten meat for a long time just want to stuff two skewers in one bite!

In fact, some people actually did this...

Jiang Ke was amazed at Liu Zexing's "bold" eating and swallowed his saliva at the same time.

"Xiao Ke, I'll give you a bunch."

Liu Yuehong handed over a bunch of mutton skewers at the right time.

"Thank you, Sister Liu."

Jiang Ke thanked him and took a bite. The aroma of tender meat and the unique aroma of roasted food burst out in his mouth.

Tender and juicy, grilled just right.

There is no mutton smell at all, and the roast is quite chewy but not old at all. The mutton fat is not greasy at all, and you can still feel the smell of charcoal grilling when you eat it.

Sure enough, this kind of mutton kebab needs to have a smoky taste to be delicious!

After eating a few skewers of mutton, Jiang Ke tried the roasted sweet potato skin which was bigger than her face. To be honest, she had never eaten this before.

But as soon as she tasted it, she fell in love with the taste.

It's very chewy, and the side dishes inside, which should be pickled radish, are also very tasty. But it's a bit embarrassing when the too-plentiful side dishes inside accidentally fall out.

After she ate two sweet potato skins, Gu Xinyun handed her a glass of peach juice.

"Thank you Xiaoyun."

Jiang Ke thanked him and took it. The frozen peach juice had a unique flavor.

She drank it in one gulp, and the slightly greasy taste in her mouth was immediately washed away.

Very refreshing.

Feeling that she had almost eaten, she and Liu Yuehong and Gu Ziyi, who had also eaten about the same amount, discussed it for a while and then sneaked out first, planning to go and see what the hot springs were like.

The women went to the hot springs in a group, while the men were still eating and drinking.

Although there were no drinks such as wine or water, I still enjoyed the meal quite happily.

As a great hero, Zhao Ting was surrounded by several men, taking turns "toasting peach juice". The scene was really lively.

Zhao Ting also refused to refuse anyone who came and drank from everyone.

He forcefully scared away the two brothers Li Yi, Liu Zexing and Wu Yu.

He and Zhou Qinyi drank peach juice like they were drinking wine, one glass after another...

I don’t know the final result, but it seems that the relationship between the two has improved a lot?

Who knows.
