Chapter 2 Private Residence

Sometimes life is like a dream. People realize or break their dreams in the process of chasing their dreams.

The mentality of adventurers towards high-level areas has always been very contradictory.

On the one hand, yearning-that means that he will become a strong person.

Fear on the one hand - that means a harder challenge.

The ordinary area is still the ordinary area, whether Shen Yi, Hong Lang, or others, have been here more than once. But this time, standing here and looking at the surrounding scenery, the feeling is completely different.

From today onwards, they will be a part of this place instead of passing by in a hurry.

As a city with a capacity of only tens of thousands of people, the architectural pattern here is open and the land area is relatively large. Except for the trading area and bars, which are relatively lively, most of the other areas are silent. Often walking on a street, it is difficult to see a person.

Most of the housing is scattered, there are enough rooms for adventurers to choose freely, and once selected, they cannot be changed.

"At least here, I will never have to worry about housing prices." Standing on one of the streets, Hong Lang muttered.

Everyone laughed together.

Looking at Shen Yi, King Kong asked: "Where shall we choose to live?"

Shen Yi thought for a while, then turned on the handheld computer.

"Zeus at your service, master."

"Scan the architectural pattern of the general area and input all the architectural information."

"It can only scan the area within a range of 50 meters, and I need someone to take me for mobile data recording."

Shen Yi stuffed the handheld computer into the fat man's hand: "Luo Hao, let me go through the entire ordinary area and come back here."

"Hey!" The fat man started to run with his handheld computer.

Looking at Fatty's back, Hong Lang was a little confused: "Isn't it just to find a place to live? Is it necessary to be so complicated?"

"Yes." Shen Yi's answer was concise and to the point: "Even if the bloody city is not allowed to attack each other, I don't want to be in the position of being observed."

An hour later, the fat man came back with a handheld computer.

Zeus had already recorded the entire common area in the palm computer.

There are about 2,200 adventurers in the entire common area. This number is more than a thousand less than the 3,300 people in the slums. It is estimated that there will only be more than a thousand people left in the third difficulty area, and even fewer people will go up.

In addition, there are about 1,000 buildings in the center of the ordinary district. Except for a small number of functional buildings, all of them are habitable buildings. Most of the buildings are empty and can be chosen by adventurers.

"Open images of functional buildings, showing their location."

With the existence of Zeus, Shen Yi will save the practice of inputting commands with fingers in the future.

A generic district map image pops up from the handheld.

In addition to the original shops, bars, and trading squares in the slums, there are obviously a few more important buildings in the ordinary area. They are the research institute, the intermediate training ground and the duel ground. Among them, the research institute is used to upgrade weapons and equipment, and the duel field is a duel place for adventurers. Here, adventurers can attack each other.

Shen Yi carefully measured the distance between these buildings, then looked at the vacant places in this area, as well as the confirmed uninhabited places, and finally pointed to one of them and said: "We live here."

Building 125 is located on the outer edge of Exchange Square. Since there is no sun in the city, it is difficult to tell the difference between south, east and north, so we can only use the simplest dichotomy method to determine the direction.

The entire Building 125 has ten floors and about eighty rooms, but only a few adventurers live there. The five of Shen Yi came to the top floor, and everyone was divided into a room. The size of the room is not small, about a hundred square meters, but there is nothing in it. It seems that if you want to buy living furniture, you still need adventurers to go to the supermarket and shopping malls to buy it.

"Damn it." Hong Lang looked at the empty room and cursed: "The city is too stingy, it doesn't even give me a bed."

"At least there's no dust, no rats and cockroaches, and no electricity bills with automatic lighting.

With a gentle smile, her room is located next to Shen Yi, and she is standing parallel to Shen Yi at this moment, looking at the emptiness in front of her.

Shen Yi also smiled and said: "You don't need the money to buy the bed, right?"

As he spoke, he walked into his room and stood in front of the window.

From here, it can be clearly seen that the trading area below is crowded with people. A little further away is the training ground. In another window, you can see the bar and supermarket.

Shen Yi turned his head and entered Hong Lang's room opposite, from where he could see the duel arena and the bar. Basically, all the most important architectural patterns in the general area are under his panoramic view, and all the adventurers' dynamics are also invisibly grasped by him.

That's why Shen Yi chose to live here.

This is one of the best observation angles in the general area.

In addition to building 125, there are two other buildings that also have excellent views, but the top floors there are already occupied.

No one knew that several new adventurers came here from the slums, occupying the last best observation point in this area, and no one paid attention to this. The arrival of Shen Yi and the others was like leaves falling on the river surface, with only a tiny ripple.

On an upper floor opposite Building 125, a middle-aged man is drinking tea.

He tastes tea in a peculiar way because there are no cups. The tea was flipped in the air and mixed with the tea leaves naturally, as if restrained by some invisible force field, it would neither fall nor scatter. After stirring in the air for a while, it automatically flew into the man's mouth like a long water-absorbing whale.

Drank it down.

"Boss!" A wretched-looking man appeared at the door.

"What's the matter?" The tea tasting man closed his eyes and asked.

"The roof of building 125 has a new tenant."

"Oh?" The tea-tasting man's eyes opened: "Just a few days after Nether Wolf left, he already has a new neighbor. Is it a single person or a team?"

"It seems to be several people."

"That's the team?"

"yes."

The middle-aged man stood up and went to the window. From here, Building 125 could be seen.

Then he saw a young man looking out the window.

The eyes of the two met.

————————

The distance between the two buildings was about 30 meters. When Shen Yi and the middle-aged man met their eyes, they froze at the same time, then gestured to each other, smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a friendly gesture.

But the next moment, the two had left the window at the same time.

As soon as the middle-aged man left the window, he ordered to the wretched man outside: "Ask anyone who knows the origin of this team."

Shen Yi turned around and walked out of Hong Lang's room: "I'll go to the supermarket to buy some curtains later, everyone's windows must be covered with curtains."

"Why do you even care about how the room is arranged?" Hong Lang shouted dissatisfied.

"Because I am willing." Shen Yi said as he opened the bloody emblem: "Confirm the room selection, activate the protection measures, and non-permitted personnel are not allowed to enter."

The bloody coat of arms sends back a reminder: "The confirmation of the private residence is completed, and the protection of the residence is turned on. Uninvited personnel will be punished by the city if they enter without permission. Members of the 641 team officially become members of the ordinary area. Members of the ordinary area can choose to hide their appearance authority, so that unauthorized Adventurers cannot see themselves clearly, and this permission cannot block penetrating vision or detection abilities. After confirming the choice, you need to pay 100 blood points per month."

"Confirm to hide."

A dense mist rose from the bodies of the five people at the same time, so that no one else could see their faces clearly except themselves. However, only the face is covered. Through clothing and behavior, it is still not difficult for interested people to distinguish who the other party is.

After completing this matter, Shen Yi was relieved.

"What are you doing next?" King Kong asked Shen Yi.

"Of course, we need to add some necessary items to our room first. Let's go, let's go shopping first." Shen Yi laughed.

—————————————

Shopping malls in ordinary areas are not responsible for sales. Adventurers can freely choose goods here, and after selecting them, put them into their coat of arms, and the blood points will be automatically deducted.

After arriving at the shopping mall, the members of the 641 team quickly discovered that the biggest difference between having a residence and not having a residence was not that their quality of life improved, but that they spent more to ensure basic living needs.

For example, everyone used to sleep in tents or sleeping bags. After solving the diet problem, the only thing to do was to train every day.

However, now that we have a residence, we suddenly realize that there are many things that we may have to buy. Such as beds, tables, chairs, sofas, curtains and so on.

If you want to make your living environment better, then these expenses are actually not small numbers. Problems that could be solved with a few dozen blood points in the past have instantly increased to hundreds or even thousands of points.

The bloody points caused by living consumption suddenly increased at this moment, which made people very uncomfortable.

For example, Hong Lang was standing beside a double bed at this moment, rubbing his chin and hesitating.

"What's wrong?" King Kong touched him with his shoulder.

"What do you think of this bed?" Hong Lang asked.

"nice."

"It's a pity, it's a bit expensive, and it costs fifty blood points."

"Why do you insist on buying a double bed?"

"Sleeping comfortably." Hong Lang replied confidently: "I don't sleep well, I lie down straight every day and get up sideways."

"Then I think it's better for you to sleep on the floor."

"You fucking sleep on the floor. I've been sleeping on the floor for half a year. I'm fed up with that kind of life."

"Then you can buy it."

"Too expensive."

"Then don't buy it."

"But I want to sleep in bed!"

"..."

Standing not far away, watching Hong Lang and King Kong arguing like children, Shen Yi chuckled.

He said: "The most interesting thing in the world is the same thing. When you look at it from different angles, you will have completely different feelings. Think about how many times we have been to the ordinary area before this, But I have never really understood this place. No wonder Lan Yan said that we are truly a member of the bloody city from now on. The life before that was actually just the basic training before entering the city. Thankfully... ...we're laying the foundations down pretty well."

Rourou immediately said: "I really think that from this aspect, different people have different attitudes towards life. Some people choose to lower the quality of life in order to live; some people prefer to live a shorter life and cherish every bit of time they have. Even if the former enters the ordinary area, they may still live in a slum area. The latter, at least they won’t feel so wronged.”

"What about you?" Shen Yi asked: "Are you the former or the latter?"

The gentle and beautiful big eyes rolled around, and after thinking for a while, she answered with certainty: "You and I both belong to the latter."

Shen Yi laughed.

He whispered in his gentle ear, "If that's the case, I suggest you buy that luxurious big bed worth three hundred and twenty blood points. It must be very comfortable to sleep on."

"My sleeping position is very good, I don't need such a big bed."

"But my sleeping position is terrible..." Shen Yi said meaningfully.

Gentle's face flushed immediately, and he kicked Shen Yi with his legs.

Shen Yi laughed loudly and didn't evade, a white energy mask blocked the blow for him, at the same time, Shen Yi announced loudly: "Each person spends all five hundred living consumption points, and no one is allowed to leave anything behind!"

———————

PS: The transaction between Shen Yi and Ali is also guaranteed by the agreement, so I won't write about it. In the future, if there are these basic behaviors, I will skip them all. Because I find that describing basic behavior is often prone to wordiness. Skipping these basic behaviors in the future can save some unnecessary words and avoid verbosity.
