I've never felt happy to become an immortal.
Chapter 5 There is a new world behind the door
Chapter 5 There is a new world behind the door
"This house is quite suitable for renting to you."
"Have you eaten yet? Do you want to go out and get something?"
"Want a Huazi?"
"It's really hard to talk over the phone..."
"Well, actually, the thing is, my son is getting married, and this house needs to be used as his wedding house."
After a few minutes of greetings, the landlord stated his purpose.
After Bai Xuan simply said congratulations, he understood the purpose of the visit.
He has to move.
The house was originally rented out for a year, and there are still three months left before the lease expires.
The landlord directly said that three months' rent could be refunded, but he hoped that he would move out within a month. After all, the house needed to be renovated later, so time was tight.
Although he was a little caught off guard, this was originally the other person's house, and the landlord had never made things difficult for him. The two parties had agreed to the deal and there had been no conflicts, so he agreed without hesitation.
I've lived here for quite some time, it's time to move.
After seeing the landlord off.
Bai Xuan sat in a chair and thought: "Should I find a new place to live... or find a new job at the same time?"
It has been almost half a year since he graduated. Every college graduate has to face the same problem... whether to find a job and what kind of job to find.
If you don’t have a stable job.
For one thing, if you live beyond your means, you will inevitably be looked at strangely by people around you.
The second reason is that I don’t have a fixed social circle and gradually become disconnected from society.
In fact, from the time he graduated last year until February this year, Bai Xuan has almost always stayed at home busy finishing up "The Qin Empire" and has never given much thought to work-related matters.
Now I finally have the free time to think about it.
Because of the existence of the Dark Moon Gate, Bai Xuan has never decided what kind of job he will get.
After all, work is just work and cannot take precedence over life and hobbies.
Exploring the world of true cultivation is life and also a hobby.
In modern society, it is impossible to just pick up a sword and chop off the emperor's head.
Maybe the Japanese server's male gunner can do it.
But this is the national server.
Even the immortals on earth couldn't help but reveal a subtle look of resistance at the thought of going to work and punching the clock... After all, they couldn't go back and inherit the family business, right? They couldn't become temple keepers at such a young age? Even the Bodhisattvas would shake their heads at the sight of it.
"Forget it, let's think about where to find a new house first."
He doesn't have high requirements for his residence, as long as it has water, electricity, internet, and is quiet and not noisy.
Of course, there is one more thing...the rent cannot be too expensive.
The distance between him and financial freedom is not a million miles away, but at least half the circumference of the Asian continent.
Obsessed with the other world, he has no interest in making money.
When I was a student, it didn’t matter, after all, the expenses were very small. But after I graduated as an adult, I had to strive for financial independence.
My beautiful mom said - you are already an adult, you have to learn to beg for food by yourself, hahahahaha!
Bai Xuan still remembers that he retorted, "Believe it or not, I'll just live off my parents to show you."
The beautiful mother smiled disdainfully and said, "How can you rely on me for support? I don't give you any money."
Bai Xuan said, 'I will find a girl to marry right away. You have to pay for me to buy a house and a car, empty your small treasury, and you also have to take care of my children and continue to do laundry and cook for twenty years.'
The pretty mother was silent for a long time. After taking a puff of a lady's cigarette, she said with great emotion, "You know how to live off your parents. When I was planning to rob the old man of his gold coins, why didn't I think of threatening him to marry a ghost-fire yellow-haired guy?"
Bai Xuan replied, "Maybe it's because you are kind."
Recalling what he said, Bai Xuan slapped his forehead.
Sit in front of the computer and start browsing nearby house rental information.
An hour passed quickly, and Bai Xuan wrote down several satisfactory house rental information.
At this time, the door rang again.
"Who?"
He asked.
But no one answered.
I came to the front of the door and looked through the peephole but didn't see anyone.
Bai Xuan became suspicious and looked at the shaking door. He went back to the living room, picked up a folding fruit knife, and opened the door.
The person outside the door was indeed not a human.
But a dog.
The big yellow dog squatted on the ground with its tongue hanging out.
"So it's you." Bai Xuan looked at the big yellow dog that had returned and put down the fruit knife. "What are you doing here?"
"Woof woof!" The yellow dog barked, then turned around and picked up something from behind, and pushed its head at Bai Xuan's feet.
Are you here to give something as a token of gratitude?
Bai Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
There is no shortage of ghosts and monsters in the world of true cultivation. There are also situations such as fox spirits repaying favors, evil ghosts eating people, etc.
He had raised some spiritual monsters in several of his past lives, so he was not surprised by this scene.
Even in real life, it is not uncommon for dogs to repay their gratitude.
I once saw a post on the Internet about a mud pit. The poster wrote that because he fed the neighbor's dog a few meals of ham sausages, the dog, in order to repay the favor, directly brought back its mistress's underwear.
The replies were all "Police: Keep talking, I'm listening."
But this time the big yellow dog didn't have a female owner, and no one knew what it brought in.
Bai Xuan picked it up and took a look. It was a watch, a ladies' watch, which looked quite valuable.
The surface of the watch has been broken and the glass layer has been damaged, but it does not affect the continued operation of its internal mechanical structure.
Bai Xuan took out his phone and checked the time: "This time is quite accurate."
Turning the back of the watch over, you can find two lines of engraved fonts inside, which are Chinese characters and English letters.
After studying it for a while, Bai Xuan didn't find the brand logo. He thought it might be specially customized, or someone's personal handmade work... It was even engraved with a name, so it must be a very valuable personal item.
In addition, Bai Xuan also felt at least two strange auras intertwined with each other, which were tainted with a little blood, but also had some sandalwood.
"It's quite strange."
Holding the watch in his hand, Bai Xuan stared at it for a moment.
The faucet in the bathroom loosened quietly and began to leak. He heard a dripping sound and saw that there seemed to be some bright red liquid dripping from the palm of his hand.
Immediately...
"Disperse!"
With that calm word, the vibrant red aura within the watch dissipated instantly, like a balloon inflated to its limit and bursting. Bai Xuan weighed the watch, now devoid of blood and scented only with the scent of sandalwood, and casually tossed it onto the shoe cabinet.
"I'll take this...but next time, don't pick up random things. An ordinary person would get hurt."
"Woof!" The big yellow dog responded, turned its head and was about to leave.
"Wait." Bai Xuan shouted.
The dog turned around.
Bai Xuan glanced at its bleeding wound and tangled hair, and felt a little sympathy.
All things have spirits, and it is indeed rare to find a good dog that understands human nature and knows how to repay kindness.
Alas, who made me kind...
"I'm moving soon anyway. You can stay here until your wound heals. I'll provide you with food and drink until I move out."
The big yellow dog immediately raised its head and barked excitedly several times to express its joy.
Bai Xuan held up three fingers: "I have three rules for you."
"Keep quiet and stop yelling."
"Remember to go to the bathroom on your own and flush the toilet."
"Also, you are not allowed to go on the sofa and you must clean up your own shed hair every day."
The big yellow dog barked and agreed promptly, hoping that he really understood.
But seeing how smart it is, it shouldn't be too difficult to teach it to go to the toilet in a fixed place.
Bai Xuan let it in and closed the door. Then he gave it a quick bath, trimmed its tangled hair, and simply treated its wounds. He left the rest to its magical self-healing ability.
After finishing all these, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and I made a simple dinner.
Bai Xuan's food and accommodation are simple, and the dog is not picky, because he is happy as long as he has something to eat.
After that, the big yellow dog made his own home on the carpet in the living room and began to climb up to rest.
Bai Xuan returned to the computer and continued searching for rental options.
We had several phone calls during that period. The conversations went well at first, but when I asked if the rent could be lowered, the other party's attitude immediately changed.
In the end, no conclusion was reached.
Bai Xuan sighed deeply.
As expected, no matter how long I live or how rich my life experience is, bargaining is not my forte.
He thought about it and decided to solve the current problem in the old way.
If you are in doubt, call the police.
He sent a message to his college roommate who was a local police officer.
Darkmoon Greatsword: Is it there?
Black Myth: Working overtime.
Darkmoon Greatsword: When will it be available?
Black Myth: Wait two days. There have been some missing persons cases recently and the bureau is short on manpower. All the passing police dogs have to be caught and used for work. I guess I won’t be able to take a break until the weekend.
Darkmoon Greatsword: Let’s have a meal together this weekend. I just have something to ask you. I hope you won’t be ungrateful.
Black Myth: O Jaguar K, I think you miss your father's love.
We had a brief chat.
Bai Xuan thought that he could just hand the watch over to the lost and found office of the police station. He could also check with his old classmates to see if there were any houses for rent.
Finished these.
I can't find anything to do at the moment.
I logged into the game, opened the video, took out a bottle of Coke, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became happy.
He leaned back in his chair with a relieved look on his face.
This is a pleasure unique to modern people that cannot be enjoyed in the world of true cultivation.
He suddenly remembered that when he was a freshman in college, a girl asked him a question: If I agree to go on a date with you, will you choose me or the game?
Bai Xuan thought seriously for three seconds and then replied - I choose Thresh.
Then the girl became his buddy.
Recalling this joy, Bai Xuan entered the character selection interface and then entered the canyon...
Eighteen minutes later, with an explosion at the base, all the happiness disappeared into thin air.
Bai Xuan looked at the bright red failure font, adjusted his sitting posture, and leaned forward: "It seems that I have to sit up and fight with you."
Another two hours passed.
The row of red records is somewhat glaring.
Bai Xuan dropped the mouse and sighed, "I was careless... I haven't touched it for nearly three years. I thought I was at my peak, but I'm actually an old thing."
The immortals on land are not the immortals in games.
Turn off the computer and go to sleep.
Before taking a break, he summoned the Darkmoon Portal on the ceiling and glanced at the countdown on it.
【Estimated waiting time: 60 hours】
I don’t know what kind of new world will be behind the door that opens this time.
After all, the Qin Dynasty is gone, and as history evolves, no one can guess how the God of History will write the script.
With some expectation hidden in his heart, Bai Xuan closed his eyes.
He didn't realize it after falling asleep.
The Darkmoon Realm Gate did not disappear. It was like the surface of the water stirred by a fish's tail, and ripples slowly appeared.
In the ripples, golden scales float and tumble, swimming beside the cold dark moon.
The fragments of the broken dark moon were slowly gathering together in the ripples.
The words engraved on the dark moon suddenly began to shake, and the stable numbers fell rapidly like the green stock market.
【预计等待时间:60…56…42…37…21…9……】
It soon fell to single digits.
……
The big yellow dog in the living room was curled up on the carpet, with its two paws covering its head and looking timid.
Then, it stuck out its tongue and licked the tiles on the floor, on which seemed to be the reflection of golden scales.
……
