I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 17 Weird Neighbor

Lin Yuan thought of what Brother Xu said and asked, "Is there any meaning behind paying the rent once a week?"

"Ah, why are you asking that?" Brother Xu put away his unserious look and said seriously, "Players will appear in the resurrection square after leaving the dungeon."

"Then do you know where we need to go to enter the dungeon?" Brother Xu kept it a secret.

Lin Yuan frowned. He didn't like this way of talking about irrelevant things without saying anything.

Looking at her expression, Brother Xu guessed the truth.

"It's the Central Square." said Brother Xu.

"There is an island in the middle of the four city districts. On the island there is a big pool with a little turtle in it. Every week when the little turtle calls, the pool refreshes and countless new dungeons are opened."

Brother Xu spoke in a nervous tone, but Lin Yuan unexpectedly understood him.

In other words, if someone seriously explained to her the concept of "game pool updated once a week", she might not understand it.

Lin Yuan continued very naturally: "So... players also enter the dungeon once a week?"

"Yes, this is the minimum requirement of the game." Brother Xu sighed again for some reason, "Low-star explorers may not be able to return in any dungeon, so the rental units in the North District are all weekly."

Lin Yuan thought of something, his eyes darkened: "You said that in a dungeon, the rewards are probably just over a hundred gold coins."

She opened her eyes slightly, not understanding, and frowned: "For just over a hundred dollars to buy my life, I still have to pay a hundred dollars in rent first?"

Brother Xu had a worried look on his face: "Not enough, not enough at all, otherwise I wouldn't come here to work during my seven-day break."

After talking for a while, Lin Yuan successfully completed the housing process. When she walked out of the registration office, she was not in a hurry to go home immediately, but wandered around the northern city area absent-mindedly.

The North District is where low-star players gather. It is like a backward town in reality, with only houses, shops, and some basic public facilities. High-tech or sophisticated things are nowhere to be seen here.

Occasionally, I looked up and saw that most of the people I saw looked worried, and the heavy pressure was like a haze that lingered on their faces for a long time.

Lin Yuan felt a little touched.

He was locked in a villa as a child and later put in a mental hospital.

She had hardly ever been to the outside world and could only learn about the world bit by bit from TV screens or books.

The current North District is the first "outside world" she has come into contact with.

Playing with the key hanging on his finger, Lin Yuan glanced at the key plate indifferently.

[Beicheng District North Street Building A 321 Primary Room]

Putting the keys in his pocket, Lin Yuan walked into a store and bought some daily necessities.

The rent and shopping cost a total of 150 gold coins.

Lin Yuan wandered to his "home" carrying a lot of bags.

It was a seven-story residential building with some signs of corrosion on the gray cement exterior.

A loud noise caught her attention.

"Ugly!"

"Damn pig!"

"Why don't the monster catch you and steam you until cooked? Then you'll be a bag of fat meat and human skin, hahaha!"

Seven or eight little hooligans were laughing and cursing, with dirty words flying around.

The door to the second-floor balcony was pushed open heavily, and a fat woman came out angrily holding a basin of water.

The basin of water was raised, and the hooligans on the dam were soaked to the bone. They left after cursing for a while.

Lin Yuan looked at the scene in confusion.

A group of people did not do their job properly, but came to humiliate an ordinary player in the North District, just because of his appearance.

"They are... players?" Lin Yuan was puzzled. "Why would they do such a boring thing?"

The obese woman came downstairs in a hurry, holding the steaming dumplings in her hands, which were packed in a plastic container. Sitting at the stairs was a haggard homeless man, who didn't know how long he had been sitting on the stairs, and he looked exhausted.

Seeing the steaming dumplings, the homeless man's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Ms. Zhu, thank you, Ms. Zhu!"

The homeless man put his hands together and knelt down, said thank you several times, took the dumplings and ran away quickly.

Ms. Zhu raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, then turned around and saw Lin Yuan standing nearby to watch the show.

Lin Yuan held a big bag in his left hand, a small bag in his right hand, and a backpack on his back. His expression was full of strangeness and confusion.

Ms. Zhu reacted and asked in surprise: "New neighbor? Hello?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Ms. Zhu.

The first impression of the other person is that he is fat, abnormally fat.

It's like filling a small skeleton with too much fat, and the whole person exudes a sense of disharmony.

But the soul and character are like a living person.

"Those people just now..."

Lin Yuan was referring to those hooligans.

Anger flashed across Ms. Zhu's face, and she said indignantly: "Those half-grown kids are all aboriginals. They have nothing to do every day so they run to the North District and point at me and curse me."

Lin Yuan agreed: "What a bunch of little beasts, is there no one to take care of them?"

Ms. Zhu took a deep breath, her expression depressed: "No, the indigenous people are protected by the Inquisition. They are not the same as us players. They are a group of lawless children. What can you do to them?"

“Can’t beat him?” Lin Yuan asked, not quite understanding.

Ms. Zhu smiled and patiently explained: "They are protected by the Tribunal. If you hurt them, you will be in trouble."

Lin Yuan said "Oh" and began to imagine where he would be put in a sack if these little beasts found him one day.

"My name is Juliet, and I live on the second floor of Building A." Juliet laughed bitterly at herself, "Pig Liye is more like that."

Lin Yuan doesn't know how to comfort people and doesn't know what to say.

Juliet saw her hesitation, changed the subject, and took the initiative to ask Lin Yuan's name.

"Lin Yuan."

"Oh, I know. It's Lin Daiyu, right?"

"should be."

Lin Yuan went upstairs with a lot of bags, and Juliet followed behind him and said casually.

"Xiao Lin, there are only three households living in this building right now, and with you, it makes four."

"There's no room on the first floor. I'm on the second floor. There's a very skinny girl on the fourth floor. There's a pretty girl about your age on the fifth floor."

Before anyone even moved in, an enthusiastic neighbor sold out all the houses in Building A.

When Lin Yuan went up to the third floor and found room 321, a figure stood quietly in the corridor, watching Lin Yuan and Juliet for a long time.

She was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, wearing a pink puffy skirt, with incredibly delicate features and a pair of lively deer eyes.

She was holding a brown stuffed bear in her arms, her moist lips tightly pursed, staring blankly at Lin Yuan.

The moment Lin Yuan noticed someone was staring at him and turned his head away, the girl turned around and left.

There wasn't even the sound of footsteps.

"Xiao Lin, what are you looking at?" Juliet asked.

Lin Yuan turned his gaze back, a look of doubt flashing through his eyes: "Nothing."
