Chapter 149 I Have a Deal

Second floor.

You Xueshan realized one thing today, that is, everyone has their own strengths, and you should never force yourself to do something you can't do.

This is not for herself, but for others.

Just like now, while she was persuading the NPC of the copy... or maybe the boss, she was thinking in her heart -

How can there be such a perfect existence as her? She can fight, solve puzzles, and heal people's psychological trauma.

Too perfect, it's simply a sin.

The beautiful and melancholy woman in front of her is named Nan Qiang. You Xueshan doesn't know which two characters it is, so she thinks so for the time being.

From the moment Nan Qiang appeared in this room, she kept crying and crying, just like a faucet that was not tightened.

You Xueshan felt a little numb when she saw the tears, but she endured it and sat down.

She moved the chair herself.

She sat opposite Nan Qiang, looking at the woman who kept sobbing and wiping away tears with the back of her hand, and she didn't know where to start.

But she believed she could do it. Nothing else, just confidence.

"What grievances have you had? Tell me, I want to hear."

Nan Qiang sobbed, looking at her with tearful eyes.

"If I tell you, can you help me solve my problem?"

"Not really," You Xueshan said truthfully, "I can only listen."

"..."

Nan Qiang suddenly cried even louder, and a question mark slowly appeared on You Xueshan's forehead.

?

Was it because no one had listened to her for too long, and finally there was a listener like her, so she shed tears of emotion?

You Xueshan said a few humble words.

"You don't need to be too moved. The night is long, and I'm idle anyway, this is what I should do."

?

This time, the person who asked the question mark became Nan Qiang. It was probably because You Xueshan's reading comprehension level surprised her so much that she even forgot that she was crying.

"I..." No matter what, Nan Qiang's crying finally subsided a little, and she was able to communicate normally, "I lost something."

"What? I'll help you find it."

Nan Qiang hesitated for a long time before saying.

"I lost someone's heart."

"..."

You Xueshan was silent for a moment, and suddenly took out her mobile phone.

"Earthy love words? I don't understand this. I can send it to my ex-boyfriend group to help you ask."

Sister You You is not only a strange person, but her ex-boyfriends are also extraordinary.

They formed a group called "There must be no Sister You You", and complained about You Xueshan's various straight female behaviors during their relationship every day.

The main point of complaint is that You Xueshan's "high EQ" is that she only plays dungeons all day long.

Eat? Playing dungeons.

Watch a movie? Playing dungeons.

Going on a trip? I'm already on a business trip.

...

I can't stand it anymore, so I asked her "Why don't you fall in love with a dungeon?" She said, that's fine, at least the copy won't send her a message 99+.

Originally, You Xueshan didn't know the existence of this group until a traitor appeared among them and pulled You Xueshan's trumpet into the group.

...

Now the name of this group is "Sister You You Must Be There".

Now You Xueshan took out her mobile phone, and suddenly remembered that there was no network here, and took it back with regret.

"Then give me some clues," You Xueshan looked at Nan Qiang and said, "I'll help you find it."

Nan Qiang's eyes were dim, as if she was recalling something very far away.

"I met that person one night."

...

Third floor.

Gu Xiuqi stood at the door, still weighing it in his heart.

The housekeeper in the room advised him to close the door, but he didn't trust him.

This elegant skin may just be his disguise.

Is it possible that the "normal" "he" is more terrifying than the monster outside?

As if he had the ability to read minds, the housekeeper saw through Gu Xiuqi's inner thoughts and smiled.

"Your vigilance is commendable, but I am here with sincerity. I want to make a deal with you.

During the transaction, I will not make any aggressive behavior, please rest assured."

Gu Xiuqi frowned.

"Give me a reason to believe you."

"I don't need to give you this reason."

The butler was still smiling, he seemed like a machine with a set program, even the arc of the corner of his mouth was carefully calculated, not flattering, not alienated, just such a "decent" smile.

Yes, "decent". Whether it is words, behavior, or even appearance and dress, he gives people such a proper feeling.

However, when talking to Gu Xiuqi, he did not call "you", but called "you" directly, which inevitably made people feel that under his "decent" everything, there were undercurrents and tides.

"All I can provide is opportunity. As for whether it is recognized as an opportunity, that is not something I can intervene."

The butler said so.

Gu Xiuqi was silent for a while, he was considering.

Finally, he decided to believe in this "chance" and closed the door.

Now only Gu Xiuqi and the housekeeper were in the room.

The housekeeper's right hand reached behind him. When his hand appeared in Gu Xiuqi's sight again, it was holding a copper handbell.

The housekeeper held the long handle of the handbell and shook it gently.

Dingling.

The bell rang. Then, a round table and two wooden chairs suddenly appeared in the middle of the empty room.

The table was small, covered with red velvet, and on it was placed an exquisite gilded hollow jewelry box.

The jewelry box was currently closed.

The butler stood next to one of the wooden back chairs, stretched out his hand, and motioned Gu Xiuqi to sit down first.

Gu Xiuqi walked forward and sat on the empty chair.

The butler sat on the remaining one.

His hands were wearing white gloves, and his hands were placed on both ends of the jewelry box.

Before opening it, he looked at the cautious Gu Xiuqi and smiled.

"I guess you have read the introduction of the mansion in the public living room on the first floor. When I, the butler Yiyuan, appear, players can make a request to let me lead them away."

Gu Xiuqi recalled the words in the manual.

"If I remember correctly, it says 'encounter', and now you give me a feeling of 'deliberate appearance'."

The butler's smile did not diminish.

"If you hadn't pushed open the door of Room 302, then I wouldn't have 'appeared'. So I think it's logical to call it an 'encounter'."

Gu Xiuqi didn't continue to quibble, but took the initiative to ask the housekeeper.

"So what's the content of the deal?"

The right hand wearing a white glove opened the lock of the jewelry box, and with a click, the valuable box opened in front of Gu Xiuqi.

There was a royal blue silk lining inside, and in the middle of the expensive cloth, there was a depression that just fit a one-yuan coin.

"Linxun Mansion is an open mansion, and every resident needs to pay rent in coins.

I think you have found your rent. As long as you put the rent in the box, you can get the opportunity to leave early.

This is all about the deal."
