Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 23 Zhao Ting’s “Zero Yuan Purchase” Plan

As a senior RPG and lord development game enthusiast, Zhao Ting planned to move some things back when he came out this time.

He has found the map before the end of the world and found that there is a large shopping mall nearby.

For this reason, he wasted a precious opportunity to use the shrinking lamp, just to test how high and large its power could be applied to objects.

The result was naturally quite surprising.

The light emitted by this thing actually has an automatic correction function, and can even shrink a small mountain peak.

Although his pocket was robbed by Zhou Qinyi, he was unable to experience the pleasure of buying clothes for zero yuan in the supermarket.

But it should be possible to stack them together, shrink them and take them back.

That's just a little more work.

The ultimate idea in his mind is to pack up all the buildings there and take them away!

I just have to take a look at the place before making a decision.

…

A golden water ball flew out, split into several pieces, and enveloped several bear-like monsters blocking the road.

The monster was immediately trapped, and then was beaten to death by the people who swarmed behind him with various weapons.

"There are a lot of monsters here." Zhao Ting frowned, "We killed more than twenty of them along the way, right?"

"Yes, Brother Zhao, it seems that the further you go, the higher the level of this monster will be. Isn't there a bear's nest ahead?"

The boy followed Zhao Ting and said a little uneasily.

"The Bear's Nest doesn't matter, if you eat more experience points you can increase your physique and have a chance to become a professional.

What I’m afraid of is that they will damage everything in the mall. I haven’t changed my clothes for several days, so I only wash and wear this one..."

For him who loves cleanliness, changing clothes once every two days is the limit of tolerance. Although the washing machine in the apartment is so smart that the washed clothes are clean and there is no smell at all.

But the color has faded a bit!

His desire for clothes made him decide that even if he spent [chaotic time] to extract the treasure he got, he had to take down the mall!

By the way, don’t let go of the snacks inside, they must be plundered!

"..."

Wang Xuan was speechless. But along the way, he had earned a lot of experience points by teaming up with Zhao Ting, and he had also opened several treasure chests, which was considered a fruitful harvest.

At least there is no need to worry about food for the next month.

Other people also had the same idea. Since Zhao Ting can help them make money, even if the other party eats meat, it would be good for them to drink some soup.

They are all people who have worked hard in society for a long time. They are really no strangers to working part-time.

In fact, most migrant workers are willing to accept the status quo as long as they can see a way out in life.

It's a pity that many people don't know - or pretend not to know.

I don't know if he is too smart or too stupid.

"Brother, it's ready!"

Lao Wang collected all the materials dropped by the monsters and brought them to Zhao Ting.

The latter glanced at it and shook his head: "You can keep it and go back to exchange some money with Sister Liu. I don't need it."

As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and looked ahead a few times. Logically speaking, the high-rise buildings in the shopping mall should be visible from this distance, but...

"It can't be that all the squares are gone... shouldn't the earthquake be like this?"

He muttered a few words in his mind, and then motioned for the team to move on.

The team continued to move forward, and after a while, they reached the end of the road - the terrain ahead was completely sunken, forming a basin.

A group of buildings about ten meters high stands peacefully in the basin.

Except for a few collapses, everything else seemed to be intact.

Just by looking at the signs like "Times Shopping Mall", "Video Game City", and "Extraordinary Cinema", you know that this is their destination.

"What a blessing!"

Zhao Ting's eyes suddenly lit up.

But he also noticed the bear-like monsters that were systematically named [Black-toothed Beasts] climbing up and down the vines in the basin.

It does seem like this place has turned into a bear's den...

Moreover, there is a height difference of more than ten meters. It is quite difficult for them to climb down just by holding on to the vines that are not very strong and difficult to grasp.

This wonderful topography preserves the integrity of the mall, but it also creates obstacles.

Everyone was silent, waiting for Zhao Ting to make up his mind.

Zhao Ting wandered around the edge of the cliff for a few steps, and finally made up his mind. He took something out of his pocket.

This is a rather small golden hourglass that is only the size of a baby's hand.

The surface of the hourglass has quite dense and mysterious lines, and golden quicksand flows inside.

But what is very strange is that the quicksand moves from bottom to top, not from top to bottom.

【Reversed Hourglass】

[Gold·Consumables]

[Designate an area and turn back time. The degree of reversal depends on your control.]

[Note: There cannot be any life within the reverse flow range, otherwise the reverse flow will fail]

[Explanation: A strange object born in the boundless sea of ​​sand, possessing the terrifying power to control time]

Rubbing the hourglass with his fingers, Zhao Ting sighed and took out another thing.

This is a strange amulet-like thing, but its shape is like a spear.

Zhao Ting crushed it into pieces without hesitation.

A touch of golden quicksand suddenly swept up around him, and the quicksand turned to form a human shape.

The lifelike face shows that it is Lou Zhige who is retiring in an apartment far away.

"You wasted an opportunity, why did you ask me to come?"

Lou Zhige looked at him calmly.

"Are there any living people besides monsters here?"

Zhao Ting pointed to Times Square inside the basin.

The latter closed his eyes, opened them after a few seconds, and shook his head: "No more."

"Well, I need you to help me get rid of all these monsters. And then use this to turn back the time here to the time when the disaster just happened."

"good."

Lou Zhige didn't say much. He took the hourglass from Zhao Ting and raised his hand.

With his movements,

Countless golden sand guns took shape behind him.

He just waved his hand lightly, and the sand lance broke through the barrier of space and appeared on the bodies of the black-toothed beasts.

The black-toothed beasts seemed to be frozen in place, their bodies turning into sand as the sand lances weathered, leaving only piles of sand.

Everyone was shocked when they saw it. Although they were caught by Lou Zhige at that time, they had never seen his power.

Although he is such a small man, he commands the sand spears like a great general.

But Zhao Ting frowned as he watched.

Hundreds of these sand guns appeared every second, but they actually lasted for a full minute before Lou Zhige stopped.

Thousands...

If he had just chosen to attack by force, he would have been kneaded into a ball by the bear's paws even if he was covered in steel.

After taking care of the black-toothed beasts, Lou Zhige crushed the hourglass in his hand.

In an instant, endless golden sand covered everything in the basin. The scenery was quickly rewinded as if rewinding.

Soon, it returned to the way it was when the apocalypse occurred.

It just doesn't have any popularity at all.

The basin was also thoughtfully restored to its normal height, and a whole square that had never been damaged was placed in front of them.

Everyone's breathing quickened.

Buy for zero yuan!

This must be exciting for everyone, right?

But they all held back, and no one moved forward rashly, after all, the boss hadn't spoken yet.

Zhao Ting was indeed observing them at this time. After confirming that no one acted without authorization, he glanced at Lou Zhige.

The figure of the latter turned into quicksand and disappeared.

"Everyone, you can take whatever you want after you go in, as long as you can take it."

Zhao Ting said loudly: "But we only have ten minutes. Let's meet here in ten minutes. It's okay if you don't know the time. It will be time when the hourglass I gave you has finished running.

I have to come back after the time is up. I will use the shrinking light to make the subject smaller and then take it back."

After speaking, he glanced at everyone.

"Does anyone have any comments?"

Naturally, no one said a word.

So he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then go."

"Brother Zhao, aren't you going?"

Wang Xuan asked curiously as he passed him.

"No, you can go."

Zhao Ting shook his head, joking, everything here belongs to him. He is also planning to take the landlord inside to explore and shop for zero yuan for two people.

Naturally, things that already belong to him can't escape, so there's no rush.

"Oh, I'll go then."

"Go ahead."

Zhao Ting found a place to sit down and waited patiently with his chin in his hand.

He really spent a lot of money to win this square.

Putting aside the hourglass, the fact that he could only summon Lou Zhige three times in the contract he signed with Lou Zhige was enough to make him heartbroken.

An existence like Lou Zhige could be worshiped as a god in those primitive societies.

But he won't feel too uncomfortable, after all, as long as he likes it and wants it, it's all worth it.

He waited patiently, and an hourglass appeared beside him.

The fine sand fell little by little, and when it was almost gone, the zero-dollar shopping team returned one by one with full loads.

Everyone had large and small bags hanging on their bodies and carried them on their hands and shoulders. Those who didn't know better thought they were fleeing refugees.

The unsmart ones would just grab instant noodles and the like that looked bulky and difficult to hold, while the smart ones would have packed their pockets with high-calorie chocolates and the like.

I don’t know how they can get back with so much and still have to travel for half a day...

Zhao Ting looked amused. After making sure everyone was back, he stepped forward.

The silver beam suddenly lit up, and the building shrank. The exquisite building lay like a model in his palm.

Then he carefully put it away.

If you shake it accidentally, you might know how many things could fall out.
