Life as a Landlord in Global Games
Chapter 75 Determination to Change
Chapter 75 Determination to Make Changes
This should have been a very luxurious manor before the end of the world. However, earthquakes caused by tectonic movements caused most of the buildings in the manor to be destroyed.
Only a small part of the building remains.
Naturally, its previous owner cannot be found, and may have died somewhere long ago.
As for its current owner, well...
They are just a group of habitual criminals who rely on many professionals to run around and rob adventurers.
They were gathering in the still intact banquet hall of the manor. The leader, a man as thin as a stick, was shaking a semicircular bag with joy on his face.
Things kept falling out of the pockets.
Bags of grain, fruits, and prepared preserved fruits...
The people around him all laughed ecstatically, and even made strange screams of unknown meaning. The scene was as chaotic as a group of demons dancing around.
A man with a wrinkled face and a flattering dog-like expression came forward and said, "Congratulations, boss! After robbing so much food, we still got this treasure. We have to have something to eat and drink for a while!"
The tall man glanced at him and threw him a dried peach.
The latter didn't have time to catch it, and the dried peach fell to the ground with a splat. But not only did the pleated man behave like a dog licking, he even ate exactly like a dog - he lay down on the ground and ate the dried peach.
It was clean and I licked my lips with endless aftertaste.
"It's like a dog!"
"Look at him like that!"
"Does dogs still bark? How many times do you bark?"
The crowd burst into disdainful laughter. This man with a wrinkled face had no abilities and usually earned some food by saying nice things.
To put it nicely, it’s called using your words to make money, but to put it badly, isn’t it just like a dog being given away?
Oh, he is still a dog that is not loved by his owner.
There may be something to eat, so what does it matter if you are called a dog?
The pleated man was about to say some nice words to ask for some food, when he suddenly felt the ground shaking.
Countless thick roots burst out of the ground, as powerful and violent as the tentacles of deep sea monsters.
They accurately wrapped around everyone, fearless of any attacks such as fireballs, ice arrows, etc., and took them back underground.
These people were entangled in roots and were carried through the soil with frightened faces. At least they did not suffocate due to lack of air.
But when they finally managed to see the light of day again, they saw a woman standing in front of them.
Next to her squatted a cat, a dog, and an old man who looked like an elf in a cartoon.
With a tap of the crutch in the old man's hand, the roots that entangled them were loosened.
But before they could be happy, they were greeted by an even more violent wind. The wind was mixed with hail, and they instantly experienced a bone-deep cold.
They found that... their bodies could only move slightly, let alone stand up, even arching was difficult.
On the panel, two bright debuffs are particularly conspicuous.
[Forest Punishment] [Ice Wind Penetrates the Body]
"Spare my life!"
"We didn't do anything, what did you do!"
"Is there any royal method?"
It is said that when people are extremely scared, they will talk nonsense. In Jiang Ke's opinion, they have already started talking nonsense.
"Who is the leader of you?"
she asked softly.
"It's him! The thinnest one!"
The man with a wrinkled face said first: "He arranged for us to do it all! We are really innocent!"
"Beauty, sister! You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ke had already thrown a fireball.
The light blue fireball burned on his body like gangrene attached to his bones. His expression was ferocious and painful, rolling and struggling like a fish on the beach.
But it couldn't resist the power of the fireball at all.
Even the vocal cords were destroyed by some kind of toxin injected by the elf elders. No sound could be made.
It was like a pantomime that ended with the death of a poor, third-rate actor.
He turned into a puddle of ashes.
"It's really noisy. Just answer the question, why bother adding some disgusting names."
Jiang Ke didn't even look at him, but looked at the man who was trying his best to avoid the crowd.
The once majestic leader who had intercepted and killed countless people was now like a frightened rabbit, desperately trying to hide.
That numb body trembled even more as Jiang Ke's calm gaze swept over her, as if it had been blown by a ten-level wind.
It was really hard for him to do such a violent action despite having two debuffs.
"Is this the kind of person he is?"
Jiang Ke sighed.
"You were the one who killed my residents?"
Her question was not answered, but Jiang Ke had already seen the pocket on the man's body. The originally white pocket was stained with a touch of red.
It's so dazzling on the white background.
If nothing unexpected.
That should be the blood of the escort of this food shipment.
Jiang Ke suddenly lost interest in continuing to ask questions. Such a waste could actually intercept his own food transport team.
It seems that it is urgent to re-plan the management of the apartment!
She was really too careless before.
It seems that with the upgrade of the apartment, the buff effect attached to her seems to have become less and less.
If nothing else, I'm afraid the buff will disappear if you upgrade it to another level.
Jiang Ke didn't understand the reason for this. But... it was just like the Xingjian City she saw.
Mere kindness and joy will never do!
Every output of her apartment is enough to make people excited. If some measures are not taken, there will be a day when she will regret it.
Thinking of this, she turned around and said to the people who were ready to take action:
"Go and take revenge, leave no one behind!"
“Thank you landlord!”
The only surviving boy shouted:
"revenge!"
Following his voice, the group of young people, who had already been furious, immediately rushed over. For a moment, sticks and lights from various skills were flying and flashing.
After a short time, all the bandits who had done countless evil things were gone.
The leader was even more intensively "taken care of", and it could be said that his flesh and blood were so blurred that he could not even distinguish his human form.
The people who had taken revenge stood back behind Jiang Ke one by one, especially the young man who survived.
He bowed to Jiang Ke. If Jiang Ke hadn't taken action this time, this would have really shadowed him for the rest of his life.
Jiang Ke nodded at him, and then called: "Xiao Hei."
The wind howled again.
Soon after returning to the apartment, Jiang Ke saw Ying Xingchu, Liu Yuehong, Li Yi, Gu Ziyi, Gu Xinyun, brothers Liu Zexing and Aunt Lin standing in front of the apartment waiting for him.
All the residents in the apartment came out to wait for her.
Their faces all had uncontrollable worry. Jiang Ke felt warm in his heart when he saw it.
Seeing the expression on Jiang Ke's face, Gu Xinyun came over and whispered: "Sister, I will sing a song for you. Can you please stop being angry~"
His cautious and pitiful look relieved Jiang Ke's depression a lot. Jiang Ke touched his head and whispered:
"Sister is not angry~"
"Sister Gu, please take Xiaoyun back first... Well, Sister Liu and Aunt Lin, you don't have to worry about me. Just go back to the apartment and wait. We'll have a meeting later."
Although Jiang Ke's words were discussed, his tone was declarative and unquestionable.
Gu Ziyi came over, took her son's hand, and walked back to the apartment with everyone.
After watching them enter the apartment, Jiang Ke turned around and said to the crowd looking at him:
"I can only say that this vicious incident was my fault. I'm sorry."
She bowed deeply, and several voices suddenly sounded from the crowd:
"What are you doing, landlord!"
"It's not your fault!"
"Don't worry, if it weren't for you, revenge would be impossible."
These voices came from the families of the victims, but they did not make a fuss. Because those who have survived until now are not stupid people, and they know that making trouble will not solve the problem.
Besides, Jiang Ke will definitely give them a satisfactory explanation.
"I won't say much more. In the future, I will arrange for Xiao Hei's tribe to follow the food transport team and give them a few more props. This situation will never happen again."
"As for the families of the unfortunate victims, I promise that you will be exempted from rent. As long as you don't make any big mistakes, you can live here forever."
After a pause, she continued:
"In addition, I will also ask Xiaolan to modify your residence. And you will receive a monthly pension and special food produced in the apartment.
You deserve this, please don't refuse.
The dead are gone, but so are the living. It is the only thing I can do for you to live well.
If you have any other requests, feel free to make them."
After she finished speaking, she waited quietly for a while.
All I heard was thanks and uncontrollable crying.
"It's a pity...even the bones can't be recovered."
After sighing for the last time, she turned around in disinterest and returned to the apartment.
The crowd watched her figure disappear into the apartment, and then slowly dispersed.
There is no doubt that her reputation has improved a lot.
It’s just this way of improvement…
It just made her feel a little depressed.
