Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 149 Beauty Wine

"unlucky!"

Looking at the coffin above his head, Xiao Ran took two steps back, saying it was bad luck.

I've heard of urn rooms, spirit tablet rooms, and ghost-raising rooms, but I've never seen anyone put a coffin in one.

Besides, it’s rented.

Xiao Ran held the knife in his hand unhappily, picked up the letter in his hand, and looked at it carefully in the light of the candle on the ground.

Open the letter.

As a result, there were only eight words on it.

[Don't worry, my dear. I have already repaid the country's kindness. ]

Most of the letter was stained red with blood, and there was a hole in the lower left corner.

Looking at the eight words above, Xiao Ran was moved.

Thinking back to the scene he had just seen in the illusion, all the anger in his heart seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, and his eyes softened.

I looked back at the neat wedding dress on the bed and the jewelry on the dressing mirror.

He couldn't help but take a long breath, then carefully folded the letter and put it back into the letter box.

She put Xinfeng back on the bed, picked up Niao Lingzi who was still lying on the ground, and walked to the door: "Military wife, you are great. At most, I will waive your rent. You can stay as long as you want."

Then he closed the door gently.

Perhaps it was the call of "military wife" that brought a breeze into the lifeless room, and the word "thank you" could be faintly heard coming from the coffin.

Xiao Ran didn't hear the thank you, but standing at the door, his mood couldn't help but fluctuate.

Maybe she lived here just to wait for that gentleman to come back.

Just like what is written in the poem, "A gentleman is on duty, and he does not know when he will be there."

Walking downstairs, Xiao Ran did not see the little ghost girl, but after what happened upstairs, Xiao Ran was no longer interested in the little ghost.

He took out some snacks and inserted a fragrant incense stick: "If you want to eat, eat it yourself, and don't disturb my rest anymore."

Having said that, he closed the door, lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Not long after, I heard a movement near my ear and a sound of chewing coming from outside the door. It seemed to be that little kid.

Xiao Ran was too lazy to care about her.

Probably until the next morning.

When the streets of Guling Street were dim and dark, Xiao Ran opened his eyes again.

He woke up.

Or rather, I was woken up by a series of reminder sounds.

[Industrial mission: New owner of the old house, completed! ]

"You obtain the property rights of No. 121 Guling Street and become the owner of the house."

"You have obtained the management rights of No. 121 Guling Street. All those who enter the house will be bound by the following rules."

Rule 1: You will have the right to collect rent from tenants on your property.

If you resist or fail to pay rent, you will have the right to evict the other party from the house.

Rule 2: All tenants must not harbor ill will towards you or launch malicious attacks against you.

If the tenant attacks you, the privilege will be triggered, causing the tenant to fall into a 30-second stiffness period, and all attributes will be suppressed by 50%, and cursed items cannot be activated.

Rule 3: All tenants are not allowed to maliciously damage the house.

If the tenant damages the house, he will be compensated tenfold.

Rule 4: Non-tenants must obtain your consent to enter the house. If they force entry, it will be considered an invasion.

You have the right to order all tenants to kill intruders.

All attributes of the intruder are suppressed by 30%.

After the intruder is killed, all items in his space will become the property of the landlord.

When an intruder enters the house, the landlord can be alerted in advance!

As the prompt sound ended, Xiao Ran noticed that there was an extra light yellow industrial certificate in his hand.

In the lower left corner of the property certificate, there are signatures or fingerprints of the house's successive owners.

The bottom line contains Xiao Ran's name.

This thing must be kept well, because it is not only the proof of this property, it also records Xiao Ran's information.

However, when Xiao Ran tried to put this thing into the space, he received a warning.

[This item cannot be stored in the space and cannot be taken out of the house]

Xiao Ran was now at a loss and could only put the things in the drawer for the time being, intending to look around to see if there was any other suitable place to hide them.

The reminder sound did not end.

[Tenant Liu Rui is very satisfied with you, the house has received special blessing, Lingzhen! ]

"Spiritual Town: Liu Rui's coffin will serve as a [Township] for your house. When you are at home, all your professional skills will receive an additional half-level upgrade, with your spirit level increased by 10 points and your physique increased by 10 points." (Note: The tenant Liu Rui's current favorability towards you is Friendly. The higher the satisfaction, the stronger the bonus from the [Township]!)

[Your relationship with the Bone Spirit has not yet reached friendly level, and you cannot obtain the Bone Spirit's blessing. Please continue to work hard to improve the other party's favorability! ! ]

(Note: Bone Spirit is a ghost unique to Bone Spirit Street. Only property owners can own it. It is a helper who is very good at managing housework and organizing property. It will evolve into a unique professional assistant based on the nature of your shop. It is very precious.)
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

I didn't expect Liu Rui and that little kid to be so important.

Liu Rui was lucky, as she didn't end up being a bad person.

But the little ghost turned out to be a bone spirit, which surprised him. When he was drinking coffee in the coffee shop, he noticed a little kid in the shop who was making coffee skillfully.

I didn’t think much about it at the time, but now I think it should be the so-called bone spirit.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't chop the kid to death with my knife. Afterwards, I prepared some snacks for the kid. From what I heard last night, it seemed like the kid was enjoying the food."

[You have obtained a fixed property. When you enter the mystery city in the future, you can make the following choices: return to the property directly, or enter the mystery city from other routes! ]

(Note: Every time you leave the mystery city, you will get a random number. The size of the number will determine the number of days you have to return directly to the property, but you can still choose other routes to return!)
When Xiao Ran saw the last two prompts, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Sure enough, having assets is different. It will be much easier to enter the mystery city next time I want to.

Xiao Ran stood up from the bed and walked out of the room.

I glanced at the corridor and noticed that all the snacks on the floor had been eaten.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ran took out some bread and jelly and put a stick of fragrant tea on it.

Then he walked downstairs to the first floor, called out Shangniao Lingzi, and asked her to be responsible for cleaning the entire first floor today.

Open the door and walk to the door.

There is a mailbox at the door.

Although it looks shabby, this mailbox is not accessible to everyone. Only the owner or tenant of this house can enjoy the convenience of the mailbox.

Of course, the tenant needs to install a mailbox himself.

As for how to install it, Xiao Ran was not sure, but the iron mailbox in front of him was obviously Xiao Ran's.

After opening it, there was a package inside.

It is the reward for completing the main tasks in Hongxiang Village to the minimum extent.

[Discover E-level cursed item: Lingxi incense burner]

Although it was the reward for completing the main storyline with the minimum standard, Xiao Ran still happily collected it, intending to study it in detail when he had free time.

Then he walked around the house and found the so-called street-facing shop in the basement of his house in the northern shady area on the side of the street.

Although this place is on the street, it is not facing the street. On the contrary, it is located at an angle, with its back to the street, and on a large downhill slope.

Wow, they always say gold horns and silver edges.

The location of this shop is simply... worse than Tiegada.

However, Xiao Ran was somewhat satisfied with this.

Wanting to open a corpse-sewing shop is itself a shady and unconventional business.

Just like what Old Li said when he first introduced himself to Uncle Zhou at the funeral home: "A kid from Erdaomen family in Beijie Hutong."

This shady business is mostly done in inconspicuous, shady street corners.

It is not suitable to open a business facing the street, because the businesses facing the street are all serious businesses, with a lot of people coming and going.

You see, Xiao Ran is dealing with a corpse and is busy cutting it open. On the left is a pork seller and on the right is a small restaurant.

He is stuck in the middle, how can people passing by eat it? ?
This place is in a shady alley with a wide space in front of the door. It is not impossible to do serious business there. You can set up a barbecue stall or a hot pot restaurant. It is quite romantic at night with lanterns hanging.

The key is that Xiao Ran doesn’t know how to do it.

Besides, this is not his specialty. Xiao Ran cannot learn the skill of serving the living, nor is he used to it. It is more comfortable for him to serve the dead.

What's more, with this shop, I won't have to deal with messy corpses in my own yard anymore.

If there is a fire inspection one day and someone walks into the backyard and looks at the odds and ends hanging on the wall, I would be afraid of being held responsible.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Ran turned back and walked to the basement.

There was no light downstairs, so Xiao Ran could only take out his cell phone and turn on the flashlight to illuminate.

According to the handwritten note left by the previous owner, this basement was originally a winery, but it has been abandoned and is filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items.

But the place is spacious enough.

"I'll ask Niao Lingzi to clean up later and throw away all the messy things. There are still a lot of tools left by my grandfather in the old house in the countryside. I'll move them all here when I go back this time."

Xiao Ran made a plan for the basement in his mind. This side would be for dissection, this side would be for sewing up corpses, and he would hang tools and other things on the wall. Then he turned his eyes and noticed three large wine jars placed in the corner.

"This is the wine left by the previous owner."

Xiao Ran walked to the wine jars, looked at the three large wine jars, and opened one of them with curiosity. Suddenly, a strange wine aroma overflowed from it. The fragrance was rich and had the taste of medicinal herbs.

Xiao Ran shone the flashlight into the wine jar and saw that it was dim and not as clear as the wine brewed by modern people.

Looking at the fine wine in front of him, Xiao Ran couldn't help wanting to taste it. Seeing the wine spoon next to him, he took it down, rinsed it with pure water, and wiped it clean. When he was about to put the spoon down, he looked down and saw a huge human head floating out of the wine jar...

　I’m afraid it’s too late for the fifth update, but today’s update is still 12,000 words. I’ll continue working hard tomorrow.
