Chapter 258 Let’s Set a Small Goal of 100 Million First

The next second.

Chen Ye immediately concluded a contractual relationship with the "Insomnia Rescue Center" in front of him.

Bloody text popped up in front of me——

[Real estate scope +20 square meters]

[Personal asset value +20W! 】

At this moment, after trading this real estate, Chen Ye's personal assets changed from "41 gold coins, 116 silver coins, 1,022,650 copper coins" to "41 gold coins, 116 silver coins, 822,650 copper coins".

But at the same time, the total real estate area increased from the original "70 square meters" to "90 square meters."

Together with this month's asset value, it also increased from 580,000 to 780,000.

At this moment, Chen Ye's list had already reached tenth place.

Suddenly, a series of discussions took place on the public screen——

[Damn it, look, Mr. Chen Ye’s points have already reached the tenth place! 】

[It feels like we can watch the list battle again this month! 】

【Stimulate! 】

[I wonder what surprises Mr. Chen Ye can bring this time! 】

[I feel like Mr. Hua is in danger...]

[Last month, Hua Shao opened a plug-in and almost won the first place on the list, but this time he had to deal with Ayaka Kamisato, and it felt like it was not so easy to compete for role models. 】

[Why do I feel that Hua Shao is showing off? I haven’t seen that guy Shui Gongping or the forum in the past few days. He used to like to show off like this, but now he doesn’t talk anymore? 】

[You call someone second on the list a mess? 】

[Perhaps Mr. Hua also knows that competing for the rankings in advance will reveal his trump card, so he has learned to keep a low profile this month. 】

[He is mature, I cry to death! 】

[Alas, maybe people can only learn to grow and become mature when they are hurt. 】

On the public screen, the discussions among the players were in full swing.

Even Hua Shao, who was pushed out of the first place on the list some time ago and lost his popularity, has been promoted again.

…………

On the top floor of the business building, Mr. Hua, who was wearing a suit, glanced at the public screen with a disdainful expression.

"Hmm, so what about this month's role model?"

"I hold so much real estate. If I sell all the real estate in an instant, how should you respond?"

"Some players have discovered that real estate will also be counted as part of personal assets."

“As long as you buy it, you can reach the top list.”

"etc……"

"Why is my real estate area so small? Is it an illusion?"

Hua Shao rubbed his eyes. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that his real estate had changed from "288,820 square meters" to "288,800 square meters." He wondered if he was dazzled.

Can jointly owned real estate be reduced?

He frowned slightly, made a phone call, and called Ah Fu over.

Not long after, Ah Fu, wearing a butler's costume, came to Mr. Hua vigorously and resolutely.

"Master, what happened?"

Mr. Hua said in a deep voice: "I just saw the real estate panel, and it seems that part of it has been reduced. What's the problem?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and said:

"Master, there have been ghost puppet incidents frequently in the pedestrian street recently. There may be some supernatural beings. When the characteristics are activated, they will snatch the real estate from your hands..."

"To be honest..."

"It's very likely that this thing has been happening, but Master, you rarely open the panel recently, so you haven't noticed these changes."

Mr. Hua's face immediately turned ugly.

Ever since Chen Ye overtook his ranking last month, he has been ridiculed everywhere on public screens and forums.

My mentality is broken!

From then on, Hua Shao developed a phobia of public screens and never dared to open public screens again, not even looking at his personal panel.

In the past few days, he has been consistently ranked second on the list, and he has control of 280,000 square meters of real estate. In addition, he discovered that players can increase their personal asset value by exchanging copper coins for real estate...

Then if you sell the real estate yourself and help the player reach the rankings, you can still get an increase in personal asset value!

Moreover, real estate is real estate, and if it is exchanged with players, the other party will not lose money.

It can be sold at any time.

Lessons learned from last time...

Hua Shao understands that he still has to use his trump cards in the end to prevent other players from easily controlling them. This way he can force out their potential, allowing him to formulate a counter-attack plan.

After overcoming his fear, he logged onto his personal panel again and suddenly found that his assets were inexplicably missing by twenty square meters?

Of course he is not happy!

This is the trump card that will allow you to turn around and become the master in the future. How can you say less is less?

So, he quickly contacted Ah Fu and came over for questioning.

Ah Fu has also been busy recently signing lease contracts with players in the walking street. He knows the place quite well, and unlike Hua Shao, who suffers from the "bloody mobile phone phobia", he continues to maintain a high level of surfing. For the latest news, he is still More understanding.

After listening carefully to the story about "Puppet Strange Tales", Mr. Hua frowned and became thoughtful.

After a moment, he waved and smiled and said:

"It's just a small thing!"

"Since it's related to the Puppet Ghost Story, let's go to the Burning Sun Church to cooperate, and then purchase a batch of gunpowder from the underground world."

"Use holy silver to pour gunpowder and turn it into a bomb that can bombard evil spirits. Let these monsters experience the baptism and salvation of firepower!"

Ah Fu nodded and agreed immediately.

Suddenly, Mr. Hua seemed to remember something and said:

"Have there been any strange people or strange things happening in the pedestrian street recently?"

Afu was stunned and asked in confusion:

"Master, what do you mean by strange people and strange things in the pedestrian street?"

Hua Shao explained impatiently:

"It means... Are there any capable people in the pedestrian street who have done something influential recently? I can consider attracting them to form my personal team. If I encounter any dungeons in the future, I can build a good relationship with them and hire them. It can be regarded as accumulating a force in the player group."

Afu suddenly realized that the master meant to use resources to expand the player network.

That's right... Weird veins and connections are all useful.

Worthy of being a master!

After the last failure, he really became mature and stable.

Ah Fu thought for a while, and listed some representative information in his mind, and then counted them one by one:

"There was a coffee shop on the pedestrian street before. The dancers there were particularly attractive, and many customers were fascinated by them. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the coffee shop suddenly turned into a huge bloody tumor tissue one day, which was extremely disgusting. Many tenants nearby were afraid of the risks brought by the huge tumor and expressed their desire to cancel the lease."

"At present, the catering industry has a large flow of traffic on the pedestrian street. Most of those [chefs] are players with the first level or only related characteristics. The food they make... can only be said to be barely edible. For the time being, there is no sign of any strange people or things."

"However... recently there have been rumors that a restaurant called Honesty Restaurant has repeatedly attracted people to The scent of a human being, but the owner is temporarily not accepting customers, saying that he has a big order and is too busy. "

"According to my personal judgment, that order is likely to come from the indigenous people, and I have also sent the recorder in the company to investigate and record the indigenous families on the pedestrian street."

"However, it seems that because the salary is not very high, the recorder is a bit lazy and passive, and the progress is very slow."

Hua Shao's brows frowned uncontrollably, but his focus was mainly on topics related to the "Integrity Restaurant"...

As for the recorder... Hehe, anyway, he has money. In the current employment environment, if an employee doesn't want to do it, there are employees rushing to do it... If this recorder is passive, then quit and replace him.

The flesh and blood tissue on the pedestrian street... At present, it seems like a strange story, but there are too many strange stories in this world. In Hua Shao's eyes, this ugly tumor is not as high-end and mysterious as a puppet. It has incredible power and can snatch real estate from him. Naturally, it is not worth paying attention to.

For some reason, when Hua Shao heard about the "Integrity Restaurant", he subconsciously paid attention to it. Even his frivolous look became a little more cautious for some reason.

"This Integrity Restaurant may have some strange people. If they can be recruited by me, maybe they can help solve the problem of the puppet?"

Thinking of this, Hua Shao looked at the butler Afu and said in a deep voice:

"Pay attention to this "Integrity Restaurant" recently. If they can do well, pay close attention to the players and build a good relationship."

"Understood."

Afu nodded immediately.

…………

Insomnia Treatment Center, after Chen Ye signed the contract, the store in front of him suddenly grew tentacles.

Seeing this scene, Shen Meng couldn't help but feel a tingling scalp, feeling that this thing was simply too disgusting.

"Wait..."

"Is this the thing that bound me last time?"

"It seems to have some kind of characteristics that can turn the real estate into this state, which looks quite scary..."

Wang Jing was full of admiration, and his inner thoughts could be summarized as "Is this the top boss on the list?", "The top boss on the list is so terrifying", "Even the characteristics are so different"...

[Real Estate Tycoon: (3/77)]

At this moment, Chen Ye glanced at the stage progress on the panel and smiled slightly.

The most difficult [Real Estate Tycoon] has finally caught up with the progress!

Now there is a breakthrough...

However, a large amount of funds is needed at present!

The area of ​​a piece of real estate requires at least 200,000 copper coins. With my current assets, I can't complete a few tasks, and then I will have no money...

I didn't expect that it would cost so much to unlock the [Real Estate Tycoon] task!

Chen Ye originally thought that he had a million copper coins in savings, which was enough to solve most problems, but he didn't expect that this amount of money would be just a drop in the bucket for just completing a stage task.

Make money! Make money! Make money!

We still have to make money!

Let's set a small goal of 100 million first...

At this moment, Miss Puppet looked at Chen Ye with a worried and anxious tone:

"Now we are going to find the source of the puppet ghost story, cut it off, and then stop it?"

"If we ignore it, more and more tenants will fall into danger..."

Chen Ye wanted to say, what does the safety of these tenants have to do with you? Players should consider their own interests first, right? No matter whether others die or not, as long as you don't die...

However, when he raised his head and took a closer look with the talent of [Scarlet Word Research], he suddenly found that Miss Puppet had a new profession in addition to [Puppet Master] - [Sister of the Fiery Sun].

Well, well, since she has become a [Nun], she will naturally have a kind of compassion. This kind of compassion cannot be completely regarded as an overflow of empathy, but is also a part of professional role-playing.

Moreover, this ghost story used the puppets made by Miss Puppet herself to kill people. Although she knew it had nothing to do with her, as a puppeteer of the [Art Department], her puppets were like her children. Which parent could watch their children become murderers controlled by others?

However, Miss Puppet also knew that she was very strong, so she had such hope...

But the puppet ghost story can't be solved so quickly! At least she has to help me finish the stage tasks of [Real Estate Tycoon], and then die gloriously, right?

He thought about it, considered his words, and tried to explain in a tactful but rational way:

"At present, there is still a lack of information about the puppet ghost story..."

"Of course, I can understand your thoughts. After all, it is not easy for anyone to see the beloved puppets they made become tools for killing."

"But our real enemy at present is not just this ghost story. The von Lucius behind it may be more terrifying than imagined..."

Chen Ye paused, and then described his experience in the underground world, saw the memory of the ghost ship three hundred years ago, saw von Lucius at that time, saw the [Black Sun] that was very similar to the blood countdown before it came, and described and explained the speculation based on the [Spirit World] sequence he unlocked.

Of course, during the whole process, Chen Ye did not reveal his specific identity, skipped the relevant information of the ‘Dragon God’ and the ‘Gate’, and focused on the explanation of his memories and his own understanding, mainly to make it clear that Von Lucius was very powerful, and the existence behind him was probably beyond imagination, and it was related to the legendary “power of God”...

After understanding the seriousness of the matter, Miss Puppet’s face gradually changed from the original worry to solemnity.

If it was just a simple ghost story, then, out of a certain degree of role-playing needs...or...the player himself will also be affected by the corresponding identity role, and a certain "self-awareness", so he will choose abnormal concern and worry. If it is not resolved in one minute, it will be like countless ants crawling on his body.

But Chen Ye emphasized that behind this ghost story, it is likely to be related to some behind-the-scenes masterminds who are currently difficult to fight...

Miss Puppet naturally knew that she could not be blamed for this matter, and she would feel a little better if she blamed herself.

She nodded, indicating her understanding:

"Okay, I understand."

Then, she thought for a moment and asked:

"Can I tell Miss Chenxi about the information you mentioned when I get back?"

After all, it was incredible that the [Black Sun] could have an impact on the "Lord of the Blazing Sun"!

But this sentence coming from the mouth of Chen Ye, the number one on the list, was so valuable that it could convince people even if it was a fairy tale.
