I came to the anime crossover site to farm money.

"No, let's talk about it after I go to university."

"Hey! So Su Jun is this kind of person!"

What kind of person is this?

"All you do is study... Hehe, Su Jun, listen to your older sister, this is the perfect age for you to fall in love! Studying doesn't matter, enjoying your youth is the most important thing!"

“I’m sorry, Miss Lily, I don’t have an entire apartment building like you that I can collect rent from.”

"If Su Jun wants it, we can have it too!"

Little Lily turned to look at Su You, a meaningful smile appearing on her face.

Su You felt that her words seemed to be hinting at something.

No, sis, I'm not even an adult yet, you'll go to jail!

Su You paused for a moment, then said, "Miss Lily, we've arrived at my room."

"Huh? We've arrived so quickly."

"It was only on the third floor to begin with."

"The third floor is quite high for me."

Lily took out the bunch of keys, picked out one of them, and opened the door.

"Okay, it's open. Let me see, Su Jun's room is surprisingly tidy." Xiaobaihe took a breath and said, "There's no strange smell in the air either, it doesn't seem like a boy this age at all."

"..."

Su You silently swallowed back the words he was about to say to invite her in.

just forget it.

He had confirmed that the landlady was indeed a bit strange.

If I actually open my mouth, I'm afraid it will just turn into me coming in to do something.

Xiaobaihe stopped joking around, put away her keys, and said with a smile, "Then I'll go downstairs first. Su Jun, remember to bring your keys from now on."

"Yes, thank you, Miss Sayuri."

"Come visit me sometime, I'll treat you to some juice."

"……Um."

After Miss Lily left, Su You went into the room.

On the living room table, he found his room key and a wallet.

The wallet contained some of his identification documents, a bank card, and several banknotes.

Su You tried to put her wallet and keys away.

With a thought, the wallet and keys in his hand disappeared and reappeared in his inventory.

This makes things much more convenient.

Su You went to check the bedroom again.

There were some textbooks on the desk, a schoolbag on the chair, and the pillows and sheets on the bed were clean.

"Although it looks a bit run-down on the outside, the interior is actually quite nice."

Su You was fairly satisfied with the accommodations arranged by the system.

This apartment is much better than the cramped rental room he used to live in.

Su You pushed open the bedroom window.

I wondered if someone nearby was cooking, but the faint aroma of grilled fish wafted through the air.

Su You smelled the aroma and felt a little hungry.

He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took a look.

It was empty inside.

It seems he'll need to eat out tonight, then go to the bank to withdraw some money, and then do some grocery shopping.

Su You closed the refrigerator and saw the kitchen knife on the cutting board.

After thinking for a moment, Su You put the kitchen knife into her inventory.

After all, this is Beika Town, the crime capital.

It's normal to encounter three or five potential criminals when you go out to buy groceries, so it's very important to carry a weapon for self-defense.

Walking into the living room, Su You saw a baseball bat in the corner and put it into her inventory.

As she pushed open the door and was locking it, Su You suddenly heard a panicked scream coming from downstairs.

"Ah!! Help! Help!!!"

That voice... it's Miss Sayuri!

Something seems to have happened to her!

Su You's heart skipped a beat. Should she say that this place truly lives up to its name, Beika Town?

The landlady had just helped me, even though it was just a small favor, but I couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

Let's go check out the situation first.

Su You's mind raced. She took the baseball bat out of her inventory, held it in her hand, ran to the stairs, and jumped down from the bottom of the stairs.

Just as she was about to land, Su You jumped again.

[Special Double Jump]

With his second jump, Su You's downward momentum from the third floor suddenly disappeared. His state was reset, as if he had just jumped down a step and landed easily.

There was no injury to the knees and ankles, and there was no loud noise.

Su You tiptoed to the wall and peeked out to check the situation.

He found only Miss Sayuri standing outside the closed door, shouting for help.

Su You observed for more than ten seconds and did not see anyone inside the door trying to break out, so the situation did not seem to be that urgent.

Su You, carrying a baseball bat, walked towards the landlady.

"Miss Lily, what's wrong?"

"Su-kun!!" Little Lily rushed towards him, her eyes shining, as if she'd seen a savior. "Help me!!"

"what is going on?"

"Snake!! There's a snake in my house! It's this long! It suddenly appeared under the table! It scared me to death!!"

"So it was just a snake after all..."

Su You breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

I thought we'd encountered some kind of robber or criminal.

"Su Jun!"

The landlady looked at him with teary eyes.

Su You thought for a moment and said to her, "Leave it to me. You stay here and don't move. I'll go and kill it."

"Su Jun, be careful!"

Su You picked up the clothes rack in the hallway, carefully opened the door, and went into the room. Under the table in the living room, he saw the snake.

It was a black snake, about twenty centimeters long, flicking its tongue at him.

Su You used a clothes pole to shield herself from the black snake.

With his other hand, he picked up a baseball bat and smashed it down on the snake's head.

Bang bang a few times.

The snake's head flattened, and the whole snake remained motionless.

At the same time, Su You heard two unusually clear sounds.

Two copper coins suddenly burst from the snake's body and fell onto the tiled floor.

Chapter 4 Seto and Mito

Su You looked at the two copper coins lying quietly next to the snake's corpse and felt somewhat surprised.

Where did they fall from?

Is it similar to the system of killing monsters and getting money in a game?

Are snakes considered monsters?

Besides money, will there be experience points?

Su You thought for a moment, then opened the [Attribute Panel] to take a look, but there was no experience bar or anything like that.

It seems there aren't any left.

Su You turned off the system panel and bent down to pick up the two "copper coins" on the ground.

It feels cool to the touch, and seems no different from a real copper coin.

They were clearly extracted from snake carcasses, yet they weren't stained with any blood or even a speck of dust from the floor.

The front features a large circular pattern.

The reverse side features a small circular pattern.

Apart from that, there are no patterns or words.

Su You was curiously examining the copper coin in her hand.

A landlady's weak voice came from outside the door: "Su, Mr. Su... are you alright?"

Su You put the copper coin into her pocket, turned around and replied, "I'm fine. I've already killed that snake. You can come in now."

"Really?"

"real."

The landlady peeked over and, seeing the dead snake on the ground, patted her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "That's great! Su Jun, you're amazing! Thank goodness for your help! Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do!"

Su You pointed to the snake's corpse on the ground and asked, "Do you want to keep this?"

The landlady shook her head vigorously: "No, no! Su Jun, please take it and throw it away for me! I dare not touch it!"

"Ok."

Su You took a trash bag, picked up the snake's carcass, put it inside, tied it up, and picked it up.

He picked up his baseball bat and said, "I'll be going now, Miss Sayuri."

The landlady thanked him repeatedly and saw him to the door.

Su You went to the garbage disposal area outside. This was the apartment building's garbage station, where people would come to collect and sort the trash. Seeing that no one was around, Su You put the baseball bat she was holding into her inventory.

He looked down at the garbage bag and thought for a moment.

Since snakes are "monsters" that can drop copper coins, their bodies must also be some kind of "material," right?

It's such a waste to just throw it away; keeping it might be useful in the future.

Su You put the trash bag in her hand into her inventory, then turned and left.

Walking down the street, Su You took out the two copper coins that had dropped from killing the snake earlier and examined them in his hand.

Large circle...

Small rings...

I have absolutely no idea what they mean.

However, at the moment, whether or not we know this is not important.

Su You put one of the copper coins back into her pocket, and then tried to put the other copper coin into her inventory.

Unlike the baseball bat, the copper coin did not go into a separate item slot; instead, it simply disappeared.

Su You looked at the upper left corner of the inventory; the wallet-like icon had changed to:
