Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 4 Early Investment

[Warning! It has been detected that someone entered the apartment by making a wish in (Promised Land) and has been temporarily detained at the front desk. Please go and check]

When Jiang Ke was looking at a jade-colored flower that was growing extremely well in front of her, she suddenly saw a bright message box, which almost startled her.

She calmed down, took a closer look, and was attracted by the "Promised Land" in it.

"Did this thing... also appear in the early stages of the game? I thought it would not appear until the dimensional gate was opened in the third year.

You are really lucky, but just make a wish and come to my place...

Isn’t it a bit wasteful?”

Jiang Ke felt a little regretful that the card was used like this.

You must know that Zhao Ting established that gathering place and changed the rules of that area with the help of this card.

No one knows what its upper limit is. Because until Jiang Ke traveled through time, there was only one picture.

Without more data comparison, it is naturally impossible to understand where its limits are.

She stood up and summoned the random door, intending to go and see what was going on.

As the random door opened, Jiang Ke saw at a glance four unlucky guys trapped in a cage composed of chains formed by data flow.

When he saw them, Jiang Ke was in a trance for a moment. There was always a feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

But this is different from being familiar with Zhao Ting's reputation. She must have never met these people...

"strangeness…"

She shook her head. She couldn't think about the matter any more.

One of them was obviously in bad condition and was being supported by another young man. His face was blue and his lips were purple. It looked like he had been poisoned.

Jiang Ke's heart thumped, but he remembered what he had just picked, and felt a little relieved. But he still hurried forward and released the data flow chain.

When the woman saw Jiang Ke coming, she quickly stepped aside with her child.

She looked at the little brother in Zhou Qinyi's arms with concern in her eyes.

She really admired these two young men who were about ten years younger than her, and she also really didn't want him to die like this.

But now I can only pray.

Zhou Qin looked sad. He hugged his brother, his eyes were sore but he couldn't shed tears.

Both he and Li Yi could check each other's panels, so the word "near death" was so obvious that it made people panic.

"Hold on...you have to hold on!"

He squeezed Li Yi's hand, and the latter could only smile at him reluctantly.

"Just give me a moment and I can find a way to save him."

Jiang Ke took out what he had just picked from his pocket, then bent down and placed it on Li Yi's hand.

This is a leaf that looks like a jade carving, only the size of a baby's hand. But it is filled with hazy aura, which makes it look particularly strange.

This leaf took effect immediately after it came into contact with Li Yi's skin.

It was almost visible to the naked eye, and the ominous purple color on his body quickly flowed into the jade leaves.

In just a moment, Zhou Qinyi saw that the two statuses of [dying] and [poisoned] on his brother's panel disappeared.

The effect of the jade leaf did not end there, it continued to emit warm light, and Li Yi's face turned rosy at an absurd speed.

A few seconds later…

"Pap~"

After Yuye completed its mission, it fell directly to the ground. Li Yi, who was still looking like he was about to take a pill, has recovered and is even healthier than Zhou Qinyi looks.

Jiang Ke looked on with satisfaction. The effect of this jade leaf was better than she imagined.

But this is not surprising. After all, it is a drug produced by a special facility that only appears in third-level apartments. It is indeed a dimensionality reduction blow in the early stage of the game.

Not to mention how the woman watching from the side covered her mouth in surprise.

Zhou Qin, who had experienced great joy and great sorrow, was stunned on the spot. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

This situation lasted until Li Yi got up from his arms and he didn't react.

Although Li Yi was poisoned, he still knew what was happening outside.

He bowed to Jiang Ke sincerely and thanked:

"Thank you...I have some money, so I'll give it to you!"

Not knowing how to express his gratitude, he could only choose to transfer all the money he had to Jiang Ke.

But Jiang Ke chose to refuse.

She shook her head and said: "Thank you, no need. Judging from your appearance, you must have experienced a lot of dangers, right?"

As soon as this was mentioned, the two people suddenly looked bad.

"Sorry, if you ask about sad things...just pretend I didn't ask."

Jiang Ke had a vague suspicion when he saw their expressions, so he didn't want to be too curious about what happened.

You must know that even if you say it, it is equivalent to peeling off the scab of the wound, which will cause a second pain.

"It's okay, my name is Zhou Qinyi, and his name is Li Yi. We are both friends who participate in community activities. Originally, several friends escaped together, but now we are the only two left.

Just now, when we were escorting a few rescued people to rest on the way to the temporary base, we were attacked by a group of venomous snakes. If it weren't for the sudden light beam that enveloped us, we would have died."

Zhou Qinyi said from the side.

Jiang Ke listened, and her heart was not greatly affected by the death of classmate Zhou Qinyi.

It's not that people have different joys and sorrows, it's just that Jiang Ke has seen too many joys and sorrows in his previous life.

Maybe she would still be scared when she saw bugs, cockroaches, etc., but hearing about this kind of thing...

It was just a little sigh.

"So you used that card to teleport here? Was it because of those poisonous snakes that you used it?"

Jiang Ke looked at the woman and continued to ask.

The woman hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two young men, and then recalled what had just happened.

She held her son's hand tightly and briefly explained what had just happened.

Jiang Ke listened quietly. Not only had she seen this kind of thing in her previous life, she had almost experienced it herself.

In this regard,

She cursed secretly in her heart that that person was so damned.

It would be an advantage for him to die in the mouth of a poisonous snake!

The two young men with a strong sense of justice were almost furious after hearing this.

Zhou Qinyi didn't know what he said in a low voice. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could tell with his head that it was probably not a good thing.

Li Yi was a little disappointed.

You know, he almost risked his life to protect that group of people. But when women and children were bullied, none of them stood up...

He seemed to understand somewhat what kind of world this was.

The scene was a little dull for a while, and upon seeing this, Jiang Ke quickly changed the topic.

She said:

"As you can see, this is an apartment, and it is an absolutely safe place. It has complete facilities and a private bathroom. Do you want to consider moving in?"

Hearing this, the two young men looked at each other and said nothing, while the woman quickly said:

"I live with my son. Could you please register it for me? How much does it cost?"

"You are the second one to move in, so I will give you the first month for free. But starting from the second month, you will have to pay 25 silver coins a month.

The price is not too expensive.”

Jiang Ke had carefully considered this price.

There are many places where you can recycle items in her apartment, and there are actually many places where you can get money around the apartment. As long as you use snacks, twenty-five silver coins a month is very cheap.

Although she felt a little guilty...because what she received before was a piece of golden material!

But I promised that I could let him rent it for a long time... I guess the other party wouldn't care, right?

"25 silver coins? I have it now. Let's order it for two months. I will earn it later."

The woman directly initiated a transfer to Jiang Ke.

[Gu Ziyi transfers 25 silver coins to you]

Jiang Ke glanced at her, although it was a little strange how she managed to get money while escaping. But when she thought that she could even get a card of the level of [Promised Land], she might be the European Emperor again.

It’s useless to think too much.

Jiang Ke immediately checked the woman in and told her the location of the apartment's facilities. The woman took her son upstairs.

She was not stupid, and she could see that Jiang Ke still had something to say to these two people.

Besides, after being tired for so long, she just wanted to give her son a good bath and then have a full meal.

After watching her leave, Jiang Ke looked at the remaining two people.

"What about you? There is also a discount for the third person to stay, and there are double rooms for you to choose from."

But what didn't surprise her at all was:

As expected, the two young men chose to refuse.

Zhou Qinyi explained:

"I just looked at the map. It's not too far from the destination. There is a temporary base set up by someone we know. We want to go there and have a look."

"Well…"

Jiang Ke blinked.

She nodded noncommittally, "It's up to you. You can take this leaf with you. It will be useful if you encounter any situation again."

She handed the leaf that Li Yi picked up and returned to Zhou Qinyi.

The attributes of the leaves also appeared before Zhou Qin's eyes——

[Golden Branches and Jade Leaves·Early Access Version]

[Blue·Exquisite·Consumables]

[Consuming the vitality contained in the jade leaves can dispel most toxins and curses below level 30, and can restore the user's vitality and physical strength]

[The current consumption is: 10/100]

[Note: Due to the lack of supporting facilities for watering, its growth is not perfect, but even so, its power cannot be underestimated]

The jade leaf exuded a warm light in his wheat-colored palm. He actually felt the weight of such a small leaf.

He has also seen the power of this jade leaf with his own eyes. With this thing around, it seems to be no different from having an extra life.

In his opinion, Jiang Ke was willing to give him such a good thing. He was simply a good person!

After being disappointed with his efforts to save people, he felt that there were still many good people in the world.

"Thank you!" He thanked him sincerely, and then took out something from his bag. He handed it to Jiang Ke without any explanation, and without waiting for the latter to refuse, he saluted and left with his brother.

Li Yi had no choice but to wave to Jiang Ke to express his gratitude.

Compared to Jiang Ke, I can only feel speechless.

Just kidding, she wouldn't do a losing business.

According to memory, the so-called base was probably destroyed by the invasion of a group of monsters. Moreover, the average level of the monsters there was above level 15, which was almost impossible to break down in the early stage.

Fortunately, those monsters were very slow and only used the well-constructed underground base as their lair, so they would not easily come out and run around.

As long as these two people find something wrong when they get there, if they are smart and add the leaves given by Jiang Ke, there will be no problem in running out.

In the end, when I was desperate, I probably had to live with her honestly.

These two people can run so far with so many burdens, so their abilities should not be bad.

This is what she calls... advance investment?

In a happy mood, she glanced at the thing that had been stuffed just now.

This is a shell-shaped object that emits a light that represents the quality of silver.

【Shiyue Sea Shell】

【Silver·Unique】

[Special items that connect to distant areas. Using it, you will get a chance to open the Xiyue Sea. There is a chance to obtain special items in the Xiyue Sea]

[Currently used times: 1]

[Cooling time: three days]

[PS: It is said that what echoes in the Xiyue Sea is the surge of fate, and all items will find their owners. Is this a rumor or a fact? - Unknown researcher]

"Hey, the blue has been changed to silver, but it's just a lottery thing. And I've never heard of this Xiyuehai."

Jiang Ke took it in his hand and tossed it, then shook it and broke it apart, but no matter what, the shell could not be opened.

It's as solid as gold, as solid as a rock.

Maybe this is why the cooling time has not expired?

After trying it a few times, she lost interest, opened the door, threw it into the room, and forgot about it.

She thought for a while and decided to visit the tenants who had already moved in.

As a qualified landlord, she wanted to see the needs of the tenants. As a landlord, she didn't know what the guest rooms looked like, so she was too incompetent.
