Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 3 The Promised Land

Jiang Ke, who was paying attention to the explanation, naturally had no idea that a guy whose taste buds had been conquered by a machine was already selling his own materials.

Fortunately, something new caught her eye, otherwise...

If she knew, she would be so distressed that she would cry.

You give me the golden material, and I'll give you the money, okay?

She was currently staring at a machine with a square head and a square head in front of her, about the height of a person.

There are three rows of shelves in the machine, with some items neatly placed.

Its information was displayed in front of Jiang Ke-——

[Vending machine·Random·Landlord]

[The current products are: designated expansion/increased apartment facilities·hot springs/increased apartment facilities·random/increased apartment functions·return/facility expansion module·ecological farm/low-light planting·Morning Fruit/specified room expansion/intelligent system·

front desk】

[Consume a golden material and randomly draw an item (Note: It is refreshed every twenty-four hours, and each time it is drawn, the golden material requirement increases by 1)]

There are several things here. As Jiang Ke, who loves cleanliness, what she wants most is of course...

"Hot springs... hot springs! The heavens and the earth are spirited!"

After Jiang Ke muttered a few words, he decisively put the materials in his hands into the machine, and then looked at the machine pretending to be calm.

Just kidding, she used to play some games to draw cards, but she never got enough of a draw guarantee before shipping!

Amber turned into a golden stream of data, and then jumped repeatedly on the shelf. It was like a naughty hand, so you didn't know what it would get.

Jiang Ke stared closely, watching it gradually slow down, and then watched it jump over several things that were not bad...

As it beat, Jiang Ke's brows became more relaxed, and in the end she was almost certain that she was done with drawing cards this time.

But the next moment, her smile froze.

She has never had a guarantee when drawing cards, but she often misleads other characters!

The naughty golden light finally stopped next to the hot spring that Jiang Ke wanted most...

Jiang Ke's face suddenly fell, and she sighed:

"We've just finished the draw and it's going to be random again? Am I stuck with randomness?"

[Apartment facilities added·randomly]

[Use: Randomly select one of the available facilities in the apartment]

"Forget it, just do whatever you want and use it!"

She said viciously. Then she saw that the card with the question mark pattern blurred for a while and was replaced by a new pattern.

"This... seems okay."

Jiang Ke's mood suddenly improved again, and he saw on the card a fence shrouded in a white-golden holy light. There seemed to be strange plants planted in the fence.

The LV3 marked on the corner of the card is particularly eye-catching.

This means that this card is a facility that only appears in third-level apartments.

[Holy Nursery·Early Access Version]

[①: The nursery will randomly produce 1~3 plants with special effects every 72 hours]

[②: Before building, you can choose the plant tendency (attack or cure)]

[③: Plants can be stored for a long time after being picked and will not lose their effect]

[Note: Before your apartment reaches level three, it cannot be upgraded, and due to the lack of ancillary facilities (Lingying Spring Water), the effect of producing plants will be weakened]

Jiang Ke thought for a moment and decisively chose the healing tendency.

She knows how popular a player who can heal is. She can consider selling the plants in exchange for resources after they mature.

As long as she has this life-saving thing in her hands, she won't have to worry about resources not coming.

…

The next day.

In the early days of the global game being launched, many strange terrains and monsters were added to the entire world due to system integration.

The entire world was almost reshaped and expanded a lot by this inexplicable power that came from nowhere.

One moment you may be surrounded by tall buildings, and the next moment you may be stepping into quicksand, desert, or snow.

Just like this team...

They had just passed through a residential area surrounded by vines and broadleaf plants when they came to a swamp area full of mud and puddles.

Some puddles are just ordinary puddles, but some have extremely deep water underneath them. If you fall in accidentally, you will immediately sink to the bottom, which is even more terrifying than a trap.

However, they don't have much difference in appearance, which makes them hard to detect.

…

"Be careful, don't fall behind, follow me!"

Zhou Qinyi, wearing a muddy sportswear, walked at the front, shouting for the people behind him to follow.

Behind him were more than a dozen people, old and young, all of whom he rescued from a community.

Out of his love for justice and his belief in his heart, he and a few friends decisively chose to take these people with them.

But they underestimated the cruelty of the world.

Even if they all obtained professions, when they got here, only he and one person at the back of the team were left.

"At least get to the place where the broadcast was made. It should be safe there."

Zhou Qin swallowed, but all he felt was that his throat was burning and as dry as cracked earth.

He took out the kettle from his body and put it to his mouth to take a sip. But it was already empty, and not even a drop of water could be poured out.

He sighed, put away the kettle, and continued to use the wooden stick in his hand to carefully open the way.

Thirsty, tired and hungry, this is probably his current situation.

His character card already has several debuffs such as: sleepiness, exhaustion, lack of water...such debuffs.

It can be said that it is entirely faith that supports him to move forward.

The crowd became more and more scattered, and finally...

"I can't walk anymore! Young man, let's find a place to rest!"

A middle-aged man couldn't help shouting. He was somewhat bald and already had a "ring of wealth" on his belly. He couldn't help but gasp when he walked.

Before Zhou Qin could answer, he sat down on the muddy ground. The wide suit and trousers on his body were already dirty.

"Yes, we have come so far! We need to rest after all."

"No, no, I have to take a good rest!"

"Have a rest! I'm exhausted!"

With the leader taking the lead, the others also complained one after another, and then sat down on the ground.

No matter how much Zhou Qinyi and another young man in sportswear tried to persuade them, they were unwilling to get up.

Even though the two of them are considered top graduates and have justice in their hearts, there is nothing they can do in the face of this situation.

Moreover, the two of them were indeed very tired. After seeing that their persuasion was fruitless, they went to find a cleaner place to sit down and talk.

"Brother, you have a drink of water."

Li Yi handed his kettle to Zhou Qinyi. His lips were also a little dry. But after all, it was easier to go to the back than to open the road, and there was no need to shout all the time, so he was not particularly thirsty.

Zhou Qinyi did not refuse, took it and drank a few sips, then handed it back to Li Yi.

After drinking water, he took a breath and asked:

"How far are we from there?"

"If everything goes well, it should be two kilometers, but I don't know if the terrain has changed."

Li Yi's voice was slightly uneasy, and he lowered his voice and said:

"I contacted them several times just now, but there was no reply. Brother Zhou, do you think..."

Zhou Qin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, with a firm tone as if he was trying to convince himself.

"No, don't worry. When we get there, we can have a good rest and have a good sleep!"

Li Yi nodded, holding his cheek and looking into the distance. His black and white eyes were already filled with bloodshot eyes.

"hope so."

For a moment, both of them were silent.

While the two students were worried, on the other side, the crowd gathered also had a quarrel.

"Why are you talking? Didn't I promise to give you money?"

The man said fiercely, holding two small buns in his hand.

He took out a wad of crumpled banknotes from his pocket, threw it to the woman without explanation, and wanted to leave.

As a result, the woman grabbed him tightly.

"Brother! It's useless for you to give me money. Just take one piece of bread...leave one for me and one for the children!"

"Leave one for you? Who will leave one for me?"

The man sneered. He had already obtained a career, and he was tall and thick. He easily shook off the woman, and then sat aside in a swaggering manner.

The woman bit her lip and looked at the people around her as if asking for help, but no one paid any attention to her.

Just kidding, who wants to expend that physical energy to go head-to-head with a tall, thick-looking man?

She was helpless and didn't want to bother the two young men anymore. She knew that the two of them were exhausted from leading them all the way, and besides, they were all benevolent and righteous.

What more could you ask for?

"Mother……"

At this moment, the little boy behind her suddenly pulled the corner of her clothes, and then revealed what was in his hand.

There was a silver card lying in his dirty palm. On the card was a golden land and a honey-colored river that was still flowing.

【Promised Land·Youth Edition】

【Special·Silver】

[Please make a wish that is not so outrageous and it will satisfy you]

[Note: Due to the incompleteness, the effect of your wish may be weakened]

[PS: It’s hard to imagine that such an unscientific thing exists. But I just made it. Maybe I should continue to work hard in this direction, maybe one day it will be complete?——???]

The woman's heart suddenly started pounding.

She pretended that nothing happened and took the child to the side.

But this silver brilliance had already attracted the attention of others. The man winked at his younger brothers and gathered around them.

The man held the bag of buns and said with a playful smile, "Can I trade this with what you have in your hand?"

The woman glanced at him and saw a group of people surrounding him, feeling even more helpless.

But at this moment, exclamations suddenly came from the crowd!

The exclamations quickly turned into screams.

I saw a group of dark snakes jumping out of nowhere. They had insect-like wings on their backs and flew very fast. They had already bitten several people.

Those who were bitten were all blue, fell down in pain, twitched and struggled.

It looked like he couldn't survive.

Zhou Qinyi and Li Yi, who were sitting and resting, also rushed forward, but they couldn't scare the snakes at all.

Instead, Li Yi was bitten by a snake because he tried to help a child escape.

Perhaps because he has a job and a good physical constitution, he was able to withstand the erosion of toxins for a while.

But the scene inevitably became more and more chaotic.

When the man saw this, he didn't even try to hide it, he just wanted to reach out and grab the card from the little boy's hand.

As a result, the woman took it from her son first. She held the card and looked in the direction of Zhou Qinyi and Li Yi, with a thought in her mind.

"Get me, my son and the two young men to a safe place!"

[The current maximum number of wishes fulfilled: 4 people, the number of people you wish for is four.

Wish comes true!】

The card suddenly emitted a warm silver brilliance. It was like a beacon, attracting a strange beam of light from the distant sky.

The beam of light was far away in the horizon one moment, and appeared in everyone's field of vision the next moment.

It is surrounded by constantly changing data streams, split into four parts, covering the four people the woman made a wish for, and then returns straight to the sky.

Just as quickly as it came, it disappeared in just a moment.

The coming and going of the light beam seemed to irritate the black snakes, and they bit more crazily.

After a while, everything fell silent.
