The rent collector became stronger, and he took in a young, energetic woman every day.

Chapter 41: Collecting Rent Again! Acquiring a Rolls-Royce!

The girls froze, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Six pairs of eyes stared unblinkingly at Chen Mo, their pupils dilating simultaneously.

Then someone realized what was happening.

"Really?"

Xiao Rou's voice was soft, with a cautious probing tone, as if she were confirming news that was too beautiful to be real.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded.

"real."

Before the word "的" even landed, the girls had already erupted in excitement.

The little deer was the first to spring up from the chair, raising her hands above her head and letting out a clear, sharp shriek.

Coco stood up from her chair, went around the table and pounced on Chen Mo, her eyes shining.

Then, they swarmed forward.

Xiao Lu hugged Chen Mo's left arm, their arms wrapped tightly together, her whole body hanging on his arm.

Coco rushed over from the right, wrapped her arms around Chen Mo's neck, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and let her long flaxen hair fall over his shoulders.

Xiao Rou squeezed in front of him, looked up at him, her almond-shaped eyes full of tears, her lips trembling as she couldn't speak.

Sweetie hugged his other arm, her face pressed against his shoulder, her round eyes closed, her eyelashes fluttering gently.

Xiao Ning couldn't squeeze in, so she stood on the outside, tiptoeing, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, Brother Mo, thank you, Brother Mo."

Nan didn't squeeze in, but she stood behind Coco, looking at Chen Mo with bright eyes and a clear smile on her lips.

Six people crowded around Chen Mo, their arms intertwined, their bodies pressed together, their hair brushing against his chin and ears, the scents of various shampoos mingling together and filling his nostrils.

"Brother Mo, you're so great!"

"Brother Mo, you're so handsome!"

"Brother Mo, you're so kind!"

"I love you so much, Mo-ge!"

The voices overlapped, making it impossible to distinguish who was speaking, like a flock of excited little birds chirping excitedly on a branch.

Coco wrapped her arms around Chen Mo's neck, leaned in, and gave him a loud "pop" kiss on the cheek.

With a thud.

Not to be outdone, Xiao Rou tiptoed and kissed him on the other cheek. Her lips were soft and sweet with the taste of milk.

The little deer hugged his arm, looked up at him, her eyes shining like two stars, and her mouth stretched wide, revealing her two little tiger teeth.

"Brother Mo, I'm your employee from now on! Even if you try to fire me, I won't leave!"

Chen Mo was squeezed in the middle by six girls, his arms were being held, his neck was being hugged, there were still two lip prints on his cheeks, and his hair was being ruffled.

He was starting to struggle.

"Alright, alright, loosen your grip, I haven't eaten yet."

The girls giggled and loosened their grip, but not completely.

Chen Mo looked at their bright eyes and flushed cheeks, shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth remained curved in a smile.

"Alright, alright, everyone sit back down and finish your food."

The girls reluctantly let go and returned to their seats.

But their eyes were still glued to Chen Mo, like six iron nails drawn to a magnet, unable to be moved away.

Chen Mo added, "Once you receive your salaries, you can use them to pay your rent."

Upon hearing this, the girls were all taken aback.

Little Deer tilted her head and looked at Chen Mo with a shocked expression, then asked.

"Brother Mo, aren't you collecting stockings anymore?"

Chen Mo was speechless, and a vein on his forehead twitched slightly.

"What are you collecting? I'm not a pervert. I only started collecting stockings because you guys didn't have any money."

The little deer looked at him with a grin, revealing her two little tiger teeth.

"Is that so, Brother Mo?"

Chen Mo replied irritably.

"Of course that's true."

However, after thinking for a moment, Chen Mo added another sentence.

"But once you have a salary, you can pay in money if you want, or continue to use goods instead of money, that's fine too, I won't force you."

Chen Mo also liked using items instead of rent, since it could unlock many useful skills and unexpected surprises.

Xiao Lu glanced at him with a mischievous grin, her eyes sparkling and a knowing smile playing on her lips. Her expression clearly said, "Okay, Brother Mo, I understand."

Chen Mo rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with her.

"Alright, it's time for you to pay today's rent. After you pay, let's go out and see if we can find a suitable shop."

The girls exchanged glances and then dispersed.

Xiao Rou was the fastest and most direct.

She sat down in the chair, bent over, reached under the table, and took off the white cat-paw stockings from her feet.

Her movements were neither fast nor slow; as she bent over, the hem of her skirt rose slightly, revealing a small section of her fair thigh.

She crumpled the two stockings into a ball, held them in her hands, and handed them to Chen Mo. Her face was still red, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and she dared not look into his eyes.

As Chen Mo looked at the stockings, the scene from last night involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

His battle record is even printed on these stockings.

His old face flushed slightly as he reached out and, pretending to be serious, took the wad of white silk and stuffed it into his pocket.

The little deer stood up from the dining table and ran into the room.

After a while, she ran out of the room, clutching a thin piece of cloth in her hand. When she ran back, her ponytail swung back and forth behind her head.

She stopped in front of Chen Mo and unfolded the bundle.

It was a pair of black stockings, the fabric as thin as a cicada's wing, with a delicate lace trim around the top, adorned with several small bows. The black lace shimmered with a subtle luster in the morning light.

The little deer looked at the sock with a hint of reluctance on its face, as if it were saying goodbye to an old friend.

"Brother Mo, you have to treat it well, it's one of my favorite socks."

Chen Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This little girl keeps saying things that mislead others, as if she's going to do something to these socks.

He took it with a disgruntled look and stuffed it into another pocket.

Coco also ran out of the room, holding a pair of white mid-calf socks with a delicate lace trim around the top. The socks were made of soft fabric and were neatly folded.

She handed the socks to Chen Mo, her long flaxen hair falling over her shoulders, her round eyes curving into crescents, and a sweet smile playing on her lips.

"Brother Mo, this is mine."

Chen Mo took it and nodded.

Sister Nan stood to the side, remained silent for a while, and then reached out and took a hair tie off her head.

The black hair tie, with no decorations and the simplest design, had been on her wrist for a long time, and the elastic band had become slightly loose.

She handed the hair tie to Chen Mo without saying a word, but a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

Chen Mo took it, slipped it onto his finger, twirled it once, and put it in his pocket.

Sweetie and Xiaoning stood at the back. They looked at each other and their faces turned red at the same time.

They kept their heads down, twisting the hem of their clothes with their fingers, pursing their lips, too embarrassed to take out their stockings.

Finally, the two obediently took out their phones and each transferred five yuan to Chen Mo.

The transfer notification sounded twice in a row.

Chen Mo's phone vibrated twice. He glanced at it but didn't say anything.

Several system notifications rang in his mind one after another, crisp and frequent.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully taking in a tenant. The rent is one cat paw print. Reward: Master-level singing skills!]

Chen Mo swallowed subconsciously, feeling as if his throat was a carefully tuned instrument, ready to produce any sound he wanted at any time.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully taking in a tenant. The rent is a pair of black lace stockings with a bow. Reward: A Patek Philippe complication watch, now stored in your system space and available for retrieval at any time.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully taking in a tenant. The rent is one piece of lace white silk. Reward: A Rolls-Royce Cullinan, which has been stored in the system space and can be withdrawn at any time.]

Chen Mo's breath hitched slightly.

The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is a top-of-the-line luxury SUV with a market price starting at seven million.

The system was even more generous this time than it was with the Lamborghini Veneno.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully taking in a tenant. The rent is one hair tie. Reward: a Ducati Panigale V4 motorcycle, which has been stored in the system space and can be withdrawn at any time.]

Ducati, the Ferrari of motorcycles, with a V4 engine and a red body that looks like a solidified flame.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully taken in a tenant. The rent is five yuan, and you have received a ten-thousand-fold bonus, a reward of fifty thousand yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully taken in a tenant. The rent is five yuan, and you have received a 100,000-fold return, a reward of five hundred thousand yuan.]

Chen Mo's eyes widened slightly for a moment.

One hundred thousand times.

Previously it was 10,000 times, five yuan could get you 50,000.

Now, it's still five yuan, but the critical hit has become 500,000.

His hands were in his pockets, his fingertips touching the soft fabric of the stockings. His expression remained normal, but his heart was churning.

Six girls, three pairs of stockings, one hair tie, and ten yuan in cash.

In return, he received the singing master's skills, a Patek Philippe, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Ducati V4, and 550,000 yuan in cash.

This is absolutely worth it.

Chen Mo took a deep breath.

"Alright, everyone get ready, change your clothes, let's go out and check out the shops."
