Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 49 Seven Short Days (Part 2)

Walking on the mottled and faded asphalt road, there are various small grocery stores on both sides of the road. It is summer, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and the air is full of the unique "sea flavor" of the coastal town.

Jiang Ke and Gu Ziyi looked around from time to time. She really couldn't see any sign of illusion around them. It was completely a real and ordinary town.

After walking like this for a while, we soon arrived at a typical old community. The community was full of big trees. Under the big trees, the old men and women holding various fans were chatting.

Even such a hot day couldn't stop them from gossiping.

"Xiaoying~ Who are the children behind you?"

An uncle saw the aunt, said hello, and said a little doubtfully.

"Why do I look so similar to those in your family?"

The aunt smiled and replied:

"You are really good at joking. This is my relative's child. Aren't my boys and girls still in school?"

"That's right." The old man was just asking. He continued to fan slowly and said, "Those children in your family are doing well. Don't be too tired!"

"When your child grows up, it's your turn to enjoy it."

"That's right, my children are all fine." Auntie smiled, "When the pickles I made come out another day, you can try some."

"Okay, I'll get it when the time comes, so don't come and deliver it. Now that I'm older, I like to eat something tasty."

"Don't say that, you're still young!"

"Haha, you girl. Let's go, let's go back quickly."

The old people laughed, and the aunt laughed too. In this way, she led a few people through the area where the old people were chatting and went upstairs.

After going up to the fourth floor in one breath, Auntie took out the key from her pocket and opened the door.

"Come in and change your shoes at the door. Xiaoyu, you can get the guests' shoes!"

She arranged it this way, and Wu Yu responded quickly. However, when the three of them changed their shoes, they found that...the shoes they were wearing were obviously a bit too small.

Only then did they truly realize that they were no longer the children they used to be.

Fortunately, there were a lot of slippers at home. Wu Yu rummaged through them and took out a few pairs. After changing their shoes, they entered the living room.

The living room is not big, but it is clean and warm. Fresh vase flowers are placed on the sofa and table. There is a certificate on the wall behind the sofa, which is the only decoration in the living room.

"With all these certificates, who do they belong to?"

Jiang Ke stepped forward to take a look curiously, and found that most of them belonged to Liu Yuehong.

Most of the remaining small parts are from Wu Yu, and Liu Zexing only has a few pictures.

Jiang Ke blinked and glanced meaningfully at Liu Zexing. The latter looked annoyed and helpless at the same time.

He was dissatisfied with his aunt because of this damn "certificate wall". One time, he secretly tore off most of it, but in the blink of an eye, his aunt took out another pile and pasted it on.

I even tore off a few of his pictures along the way.

This really almost made him cry out of anger at the time.

He knew what his sister and brother's grades were like. He couldn't handle them all!

After this, he had no choice but to study hard. But he just couldn't learn it...and what happened next.

"well."

He sighed with emotion.

After the aunt on the side changed her shoes and clothes, she took the seafood bag she picked up at the beach and went into the kitchen without forgetting to call Liu Yuehong:

"Xiao Hong, come and help me."

"Hey, okay. Auntie, don't be tired, let me do it."

"Can you cook it? Is my cooking delicious or yours?"

"Don't underestimate me, I've learned a lot!"

The two of them walked into the kitchen talking and laughing.

So the only two brothers Jiang Ke, Gu Ziyi and Liu Zexingwu were left in the living room.

Liu Zexing looked in the direction of the kitchen and reluctantly withdrew his gaze. Then he looked at Jiang Ke and asked:

"Sister Jiang...where is this place?"

Jiang Ke hesitated for a moment, then heard Gu Ziyi beside her say: "Xiao Ke, you can tell them. You have to be prepared."

"That's easy to say. How could I say such cruel words!" Jiang Ke sighed in his heart, organized his words, and said carefully:

"This place can only exist for seven days. After seven days, everything will disappear."

"What?"

Wu Yu stood up immediately. His voice seemed to be a little too loud, and he heard a roar from the kitchen: "Xiaoyu, what are you yelling at?"

Sure enough, his mother's roar was powerful no matter what time it was, and Wu Yu calmed down immediately.

"it's okay no problem."

He said something quickly, and then sat down. He tried to lower his voice as much as possible, with a pleading tone in his tone: "Sister Jiang, is there nothing we can do?"

"There's nothing I can do." Jiang Ke was very embarrassed at this time. She tried hard to recall her permissions and things. But she couldn't think of anything that would work.

To put it bluntly, this is just an illusion created by the fruit. How can the things in the illusion exist for a long time?

Even if there is some spiritual spring water now, there is nothing we can do!

Seeing her silence, Liu Zexing and Wu Yu's expressions darkened.

"Xiao Ke, can you still communicate with the apartment from here?"

Gu Ziyi suddenly raised a question.

Jiang Ke was stunned by this question. She stretched out her hand out of habit, and then...in her hand, the shape of the door handle quietly took shape.

"Is it really possible?"

She tried to open the door, but she found that there was a colorful light shining on the edge of the door. In this shining light, even the surrounding space became a little blurry.

She had a premonition: If she forced the door open, the illusion might collapse immediately!

Thinking of this terrible situation, she quickly let go of her hand. The doorknob disappeared.

But after this attempt, she had an idea in her mind.

She remembered that she had the ability to summon the life in the apartment. This life refers to the miracle creation species such as Xiaofen.

If it were them, would there be any solution?

Just do it!

She closed her eyes and thought about Xiaofen's appearance in her mind. Then she heard Xiaofen's "chirp?"

"Xiaofen, can you come over?" She said in a whisper. The latter responded immediately.

"Chirp!"

This is a representative response.

Jiang Ke opened her eyes, and under the expectant gazes of everyone, the space in front of her shimmered with glaze-like water.

The water light quickly expanded to form a vortex, and the little pink in the vortex rushed out directly by riding the water flow!

This scene immediately made everyone open their eyes.

"Is it really coming out?"

Gu Ziyi reached out and touched Xiaofen's body.

"Xiaofen, look here, is there any way to keep it?"

Wu Yu couldn't wait to ask.

Xiaofen looked around, and a look of shock flashed across her small eyes. The water flow on its side turned into countless threads and spread around, as if it was sensing something.

No one dared to disturb them and could only wait silently. After waiting for a few minutes, Xiaofen withdrew the water line and made a few hesitant "chirps".

"Sister Jiang, what does it say?"

"Uh..." Jiang Ke could only do a guest translation and explained: "It says that this is a special space built by some great power. Its power is not enough to shake the rules of this place. If you want to save it, it is almost impossible.

"

"Then what if we just keep my mother? Can we take her to the apartment?"

"Chirp!"

"Xiaofen said that if only one person is retained, the success rate is only close to 20%. And it needs to call all the tribes over before it can try it."

"Twenty?" Wu Yu was silent.

This probability is a little too low.

"Why are you still hesitating? Isn't twenty enough? Is it possible that you want to see your aunt disappear?"

Liu Zexing said decisively:

"Xiaofen, please! Anyway, there is no worse ending than this."

Xiaofen looked at Jiang Ke and chirped. Jiang Ke understood the meaning and his heart trembled. But he still nodded.

"I know, please. Xiaofen."

As she said this, she closed her eyes and stretched out her hand.

Xiaofen's forehead touched her hand, and then the water rippled, and vortexes emerged one after another.

Xiaofen's clansmen jumped out, and then jumped up at Xiaofen's order, and then disappeared into the air like phantoms.

Finally, Xiaofen also disappeared into the air.

After finishing all this, only a few minutes had actually passed. But Jiang Ke felt as if centuries had passed.

Because Xiaofen comes from the outside to use her as an anchor. This so-called illusion is actually more of a "narrow room" supported by time and fantasy.

Xiaofen does not have the ability to time, and all she can do is adapt to the rules of this place as quickly as possible with the help of her companions. Then at the moment of collapse, she uses her own power to protect her aunt's illusory shadow.

As long as you can successfully return to the apartment, you're done.

Jiang Ke sighed, she closed her eyes tiredly, and wanted to take a rest. Xiaofen and the others wanted to use her as their anchor. If they didn't already have a career, she would have passed out.

Gu Ziyi, who had been watching her, saw Jiang Ke like this and knew that Jiang Ke must have done more. She immediately let Jiang Ke lie on her body and rubbed Jiang Ke's temples.

The other two people also knew what was going on and did not dare to say anything. They were just extremely grateful and looked at Jiang Ke with eyes full of admiration.

If there was a favorability system, Jiang Ke might be able to see "+100" and "+100" values ​​popping up on their heads.

When Jiang Ke was resting, Liu Yuehong and her aunt were chatting in the kitchen.

"Auntie... Well, why don't you ask us what's going on?" Liu Yuehong couldn't help but ask while beating the egg liquid.

"what?"

While looking at the bubbling water in the pot, the aunt quickly took the crabs and other things that had been processed aside and put them into the pot. She said:

"No matter what, you are still you, why are you bothering with such useless things?"

"Oh, it would be great if I were as free and easy as you."

"You have a lot to learn, but thank you for your hard work. Let me take care of you these days."

"That's not okay! You have to enjoy yourself too. Let's go play tomorrow? Now that I have money, you can spend it as much as you want!"

Liu Yuehong has always liked some exquisite jewelry. In her pocket, she still has a few pearls collected from the condensed pearl oysters in the small fishing sea and some precious jewelry from the shopping mall.

You just need to find a place to exchange money, and it will definitely not be a problem to spend dozens of days... As for if someone wants to rob or a shady businessman defrauds you of money.

Haha~

After entering here, their profession is still there, although they won't be able to do such outrageous things as single-handedly resisting the army.

But it's easy to target a few unscrupulous merchants.

Could this be the legendary return of super powers to the city?

Liu Yuehong thought happily and kept pestering her aunt to agree.

The diligent and thrifty aunt hesitated for a while, but in the end she couldn't resist Liu Yuehong, so she could only nod in the end.

Liu Yuehong happily helped her aunt, and the two of them discussed where to go.

The atmosphere is quite harmonious and cheerful.

In fact, my aunt also likes traveling and so on. But the burden of family is too heavy, so she can only suppress her nature.

Now, the children whom she suspected came back from the future were here, and of course she wanted to enjoy the filial piety from her children.

If the greatest sorrow in the world is "a child who wants to be raised but cannot be cared for," then Liu Yuehong and the others have been temporarily freed from this sorrow.

They are rich, leisurely and capable, and they can finally proudly announce it to their mother.

They have a future!
