Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 5 Two tenants

"Dingling~"

The crisp doorbell rang.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Ting, who was lying on the bed eating salted fish, muttered, then climbed up and went to open the door.

Just outside the door was the host Jiang Ke who was doing a "Guest Satisfaction Survey" to see what the room was like.

"Hello, let me ask you how you feel about your stay?"

Jiang Ke said with a smile and glanced behind him a few times.

It's a pity that this guy is tall, so he was completely blocked and couldn't see anything.

"Let's talk after we come in."

Zhao Ting gave up his position, and Jiang Ke nodded and walked in.

As soon as she entered, she discovered that this ordinary room was indeed different from her room.

This ordinary room is obviously smaller than the room where the landlord lives, and the decoration is quite simple. It is completely simple.

It has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a storage room.

The off-white wallpaper, marble floors, and even the electrical appliances and lamps are all square.

It's not that it doesn't look good, it's just that it feels more like a rental apartment than a home.

She looked around and then sat down on the sofa. Zhao Ting also took a glass of water from the water dispenser and brought it over.

"Drink some water. There's no tea or anything. I have some at home, but it's a pity that I didn't bring them over."

"The water is great. How do you feel about living there?"

“It’s very good, comfortable and safe. The most important thing is that the food in the restaurant is also delicious.”

"...I saw your consumption record in the restaurant." Jiang Ke looked at his tall and well-proportioned figure, considered it and asked, "Don't you feel overwhelmed after eating so much?"

"Huh? No, it probably has something to do with my profession. You'll know after you take a look."

As he said this, his character card was already opened to Jiang Ke.

【Zhao Ting】

【Carbon-based human ·Male ·19 years old】

[Intelligence: 27/Physique: 22/Agility: 25/Mental Power: 30]

[Occupation: Spirit-Navigator (Legal System·Hidden Profession·Unique)]

[Skills: Water Prison Technique/Water Escape Technique/Return of Spiritual Energy/]

[Talent: ①: Return to the sea of ​​spiritual energy (all the substances you absorb will be converted into your attributes)

②: Uncontested Jade Heart (You will not learn offensive skills, but you will be extra lucky, and under normal circumstances, monsters will not attack you)]

【Level:3】

[PS: The door to the extraordinary has been opened to you. As a professional, please work hard. Even if you are playing games, you can become the most beautiful boy! 】

"Does this talent and your attributes really exist? Is there such a bizarre thing?"

Jiang Ke was severely surprised.

She actually saw two gold-level talents in the early stages of the game!

But while she was surprised, she was also a little curious.

"It's no wonder you can find so many golden materials...this uncontested jade heart. Wait, that's not right, then how do you kill monsters?"

Zhao Ting smiled, then stretched out his hand, and a water ball appeared. He pointed to the side, and the water ball was attached to a round decoration next to it.

As he clenched his fist, the water ball gradually shrank.

"As long as a living thing is alive, it needs to breathe. As long as the breathing is restricted, it can be killed no matter what."

Although his smile was bright and his voice was pleasant, Jiang Ke's hair suddenly stood up. There was a creepy feeling from his neck to his back.

This way of death was too horrific, and she felt shuddering just hearing it.

Especially when said in this tone...

It's more scary, okay?

But it is undeniable that

This technique is really quite effective.

It was so effective that she picked up the cup and drank some water to calm down her shock.

"It's pretty awesome...well, but you can't just show people the character cards. This is related to your secret."

Jiang Ke reminded.

"Didn't the landlord show this to you after you asked me? Others won't be able to see it so easily."

Zhao Ting reached out and threw the water balloon into the trash can and said nonchalantly.

"Well…"

Jiang Ke originally wanted to say, "I'm very happy that you trust me so much." But it always felt weird, so he could only change the subject abruptly.

"Do you still have the golden material on you? I can exchange it for something."

"I sold all the golden materials to restaurants, and they are gone."

Zhao Ting shook his head and continued:

"I plan to go out and take a look tomorrow. If there are any, I will bring them back to you."

Jiang Ke knew that he probably planned to go to the reservoir to continue exploring. So he nodded and chatted with him for a few more words before leaving.

Before leaving, she did not forget to leave a jade leaf. Zhao Ting saw the properties of the jade leaf and accepted it directly without refusing.

After all, theoretically speaking, exchanging a blue quality consumable for gold material would definitely make Jiang Ke a huge profit.

But then again, which one is better, a golden material that cannot be eaten and can’t be used temporarily or a consumable that can save lives at critical moments...

That is, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

After leaving 201, Jiang Ke walked to the door of 202's room. After thinking about it, he still didn't disturb the mother and son.

The other party has just arrived, so let them rest for a while before talking.

She reached out and opened any door and went to the farm.

The peaches are ripe today, so I have to pick a few and try them.

…

On the other side, room 202.

The mother and son had finished taking a shower and were sitting comfortably on the mushroom-shaped sofa.

"Xiaoyun, do you feel good after taking a bath?"

Gu Ziyi, who had just finished taking a bath, rubbed her son's soft and fluffy hair and asked.

"Comfortable!"

The little boy raised his head and looked at her with bright eyes.

"Mom, are we really going to live here from now on?"

"Of course!" Gu Ziyi looked around at the childlike walls, floors, chandeliers and other furniture dotted with bears and rabbits, feeling very good.

"I made an agreement with the landlady, we will always live here from now on!"

One month... No, she was very confident in earning 25 silver coins in two months. After all, she also had a career, although she didn't have much money now...

She looked at her money.

[Remaining balance: 15 copper coins]

"I should buy some steamed buns for my son to eat..."

She thought and stood up.

"Come on, get dressed and mom will take you to have something to eat."

"good!"

The little boy immediately got dressed quickly.

The two left the room where they lived.

They walked along the corridor, climbed the stairs, and arrived at the door of the restaurant.

As a steady mother, Gu Ziyi was just surprised when she saw the gate. But as a child, especially a boy, Gu Xinyun's eyes immediately lit up.

He looked longingly at his mother, who couldn't bear to be stared at, so she let go.

"Go ahead, my little man, open the door for mommy, and mommy has a rest."

Gu Xinyun immediately ran over and put his hand on the door. The door also cooperated in a sci-fi-like form and decomposed into data streams from the center, then merged directly into the ground and disappeared.

"Um?"

Jiang Ke was sitting on his seat eating cold peaches when he suddenly saw the door disappear like this and was startled.

"Can this door still be opened like this?"

The little boy who was originally happy and excited saw Jiang Ke sitting and immediately ran back to his mother, looking at Jiang Ke with some fear.

Seeing this, Jiang Ke sighed inwardly.

She is a young and beautiful girl after all, so why does she feel like she is being treated like an old witch who wants to eat children?

"You're here just in time, come and sit down. These are the peaches I just picked. Let's try how they taste."

She shook the washed peaches on the plate and smiled.

Despite the existence of the buff, she was surprised by her familiarity and enthusiasm. It seemed that she had done it many times and had become accustomed to it.

But this feeling was fleeting, leaving her without a clue.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then pulled her son over and sat down opposite Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke took out two peaches and handed them to them.

"Taste it, this is freshly picked."

Gu Ziyi gave one to her son, and then looked at the peach that was as clear as a topaz in her hand, and for a moment she didn't know how to eat it.

It doesn't look like food at all, but like art.

But that unique peach fragrance hits your face again, making people want to take a bite.

"Click~"

She took a bite.

Unexpectedly, although this peach is hard to bite, it is quite soft, tender and juicy when you eat it. You barely need to chew it, and the pulp slides into your throat along with the sweet juice.

After eating, there seemed to be a warm current rising in her stomach. This warm current even relieved her old problem of having a dull stomach pain after eating for many years.

Gu Ziyi was considered a middle class before this damn global game was launched, and she was willing to buy fruits from all over the country for herself and her son to eat.

It could be said that she spent most of her money on food. But she had never tasted peaches with this taste.

The "exorbitantly expensive peaches" I ate in the past were like a joke. Compared with these peaches, they were worth throwing away.

"Kacha kacha~"

It was delicious, so she naturally ate faster. In less than a minute, she had eaten the peach, which was as big as her fist, and only the core was left.

At this time, Jiang Ke had only eaten half of it, and her son had just caused some "skin wounds" to Tao Zi.

"Keep eating. Anyway, there are still a lot of things I haven't picked yet. Keep them for good. Things are not just for people to eat."

Jiang Ke simply pushed the plate to the middle. She had plenty of it anyway and was happy to use it as a favor.

If you have too much stuff, you won’t be stingy at all.

If it's less... then it's a different story.

But Gu Ziyi was too embarrassed to pick up another one and eat it no matter what. She found a way to chat with Jiang Ke.

"Landlord, your accent sounds familiar to me. Where do you live from?"

"My family is from Province H. I am the only one in the family. I work here to earn money while going to school. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing."

She told her the story she had already thought of. In this world that has collapsed, who has the leisure and ability to investigate her?

"Province H, I have traveled there before, and some of the snacks are really delicious."

"Yes, yes, I like to drink a bowl of spicy soup and fried pancakes when I get up in the morning. It will keep me warm all day long."

Jiang Ke sighed and tried to recall the unique peppery taste.

It's just that after she was reborn, she rushed to get the landlord card non-stop. If her previous life was also included, her memory really couldn't remember what it tasted like.

"Hot spicy soup? I know how to make it. I learned it from an old lady who has been making breakfast for half her life."

Gu Ziyi said:

"I usually know a lot about food, and the food I cook is no worse than the chefs in the hotel!"

At this time, the little boy who had finished eating half of the peach and had his mouth full of juice also echoed:

"Mom's cooking is the best!"

"Oh?" Jiang Ke's heart moved and he had an idea.

However, without knowing the other party's true level, she still did not invite him rashly.

She looked at the woman and kept looking at the menu, but her expression was obviously not good.

So she rolled her eyes and said to the little boy with a smile: "What do you want to eat? Here is the menu. Sister, please eat~"

The boy looked at his mother, who nodded, and then he cautiously said: "Sister, I want to eat vegetarian buns."

"...are we just eating vegetarian steamed buns?" Jiang Ke raised an eyebrow, "Although there aren't many things here, there are a few staple foods."

She tried her best to show the gentlest smile and patted her flat chest: "Sister is rich! Don't worry about me being poor!"

"Well, can I have a bowl of noodles? Mom and I will eat together."

Jiang Ke opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Gu Ziyi say softly: "The landlord..."

Then she blinked.

Jiang Ke saw the prayer in her eyes.

So Jiang Ke understood and said nothing more.

She went to buy two steamed buns and a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and when she was about to serve them, she saw the little boy walking over.

"Sister, let me serve it."

Jiang Ke made sure that the bowl was not hot and not too heavy, and handed it to him.

As a child, as long as you want to do something and are willing to do it, it doesn't matter even if you fail.

She watched Gu Xinyun steadily bring it to his mother, and then walked over with the plate of buns.

"thank you."

Gu Ziyi rubbed her son's face and then looked at the bowl of noodles.

I have to say that the food produced in this restaurant is really delicious and delicious.

Although it looks like a clear soup with only a little bit of oil and chopped green onion, the delicious flavor cannot be concealed at all.

A pinch of green onion covers the thin noodles, making them look green and green.

Other than that, there are no other ingredients in the bowl.

Gu Ziyi picked up a pair of chopsticks. Although it was thin noodles, it was obviously still very strong.

As a gourmet, she knows that it is difficult to make something as simple as Yangchun noodles delicious.

"Chiliu~"

She took a small bite, and the refreshing noodles and the deliciousness of the soup burst into her mouth.

She thought about it for a moment and handed the chopsticks to her son.

You can't enjoy too much delicious food. She just looked at the price. Her own money is only enough to buy one and a half buns... It's better to let her son eat enough first, and she will take care of the rest.

After all, when children are growing, they always have to be more economical.

However, the little boy shook his head very seriously.

"Mom, there are also steamed buns here. I like to eat steamed buns. This side is for you."

With that said, the little guy picked up the bun and chewed it to show that he really liked it.

The woman was stunned for a moment.

Could she not know what the child she worked so hard to raise likes to eat?

For a mother, probably at this time, she feels both sour and happy at the same time.
