"Get out! All of you, get out!"
With a bang, the door was slammed shut right in front of them.
However, there were still some gains this time.
Ye Bugui even joked, "We made such a commotion just now, but we didn't even get the waiters to come. It seems we're safe as long as our roommate comes back."
“The behavior of that guest just now,” Chen Xin’s hand was exposed to Lu Shi’s gaze, and only then did Lu Shi notice that almost all of her nails had been bitten off. “It was very strange. I think he definitely knew there was someone under the bed.”
“Or rather,” Cao Ran was the least talkative of the three, “he had seen someone under the bed before, which is why he was so afraid.”
"I'll go open the door next!" Lu Shi volunteered and walked to the second door.
Seeing his face, which appealed to men, women, young and old alike, everyone tacitly approved of the matter.
Lu Shi then pushed open the door and saw a very fashionable lady dressed in formal attire, as if she were about to go out to a banquet.
She was very well-mannered; even when she saw a group of strangers, she was very polite: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with? If it's about fundraising, I'd be very happy to."
Lu Shi rarely smiles, but when he does, he possesses an alluring beauty.
"Madam, you are so kind, we have come to the right place."
The lady's face flushed, and she awkwardly tugged at the expensive silk scarf tied around her neck.
"Of course, I'll help with anything that's within my power."
“Actually,” Lu Shi sighed, his brow furrowing, even Ye Bugui felt a pang of sympathy for him. “I’ve been having nightmares lately. In those dreams, someone always crawls out from under the bed at night, sits on the edge of the bed, and stares at me all night long.”
"When I woke up, I found that my phone had been tampered with." Lu Shi's tone was sincere and natural, but it also revealed a fear that he was trying hard to suppress, which surprised the noblewoman.
“I told my friends, and they all said I was hallucinating because I was under too much stress lately. Kind lady, I wonder if you have had a similar experience.”
“This…” The lady shook her head. “I don’t have any. But I think you are indeed very tired. Perhaps I have a bottle of essential oil that can help you.”
She turned around and actually took out a bottle of essential oil from the cabinet and placed it in Lu Shi's palm.
Finally, he reminded the others: "Your friend is under a lot of pressure. You shouldn't blame him, but rather comfort and encourage him."
After the door closed again, Sherry gave Lu Shi a thumbs up. No wonder he could do game boosting; his deception skills are amazing!
Lu Shi calmly put away his gentle expression and silently took out the game console to glance at it.
He gradually realized that everything in the instance could be used with the game console.
Soon, a string of information appeared on the game console:
Essential oils for restful sleep
[A popular item in high-end salons, it's fragrance-free and odorless. I've heard that placing it in your room can help you sleep longer.]
"This tool should be useful to my roommate." Zi Ling looked at the essential oil with some longing.
“Hmm.” Lu Shi accepted it naturally: “I will use it tonight and see how it works.”
This time, more people took the initiative to speak up, while Ye Bugui stood lazily behind Lu Shi, dutifully playing the role of a boss who was indifferent to worldly affairs and only wanted to lie down.
However, apart from Chen Xin, everyone else had their doors slammed shut in front of them without receiving any information.
Standing at Chen Xin's door was a person in a wheelchair, whose head and toes were wrapped in bandages, with only his eyes and mouth showing.
Chen Xin paused for a second before asking, "Excuse me, when did you move into the apartment?"
The man answered the question slowly: "Three... months."
"Do you know the apartment rules?"
The man's eyes darted around anxiously, then he shook his head.
After that, no matter what Chen Xin asked, he refused to answer.
In this way, they have already greeted all the residents on this floor.
“This apartment building has a lot of problems.” Lu Shi stood on the second floor and looked down.
At this moment, the receptionist, who had been ignoring them, suddenly turned around and said in a shrill voice with her sinister face:
"Lunchtime is here. Please return to your rooms and wait for the staff to bring your meals."
Everyone's expression changed, and almost all of them started walking towards their own rooms.
"We'll meet again after lunch!" Zi Ling said, then slammed the door shut.
"Wait!" Just as Lu Shi was about to close the door, Ye Bugui suddenly slipped in.
"No one said we can't visit each other's homes, right?"
A note from the author:
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 31
☪ Good Family Apartment 6
Lu Shi opened his mouth, but found that there was indeed no such rule in the regulations, so he waited for Ye Bugui to enter the house before closing the door.
The atmosphere inside the room was very harmonious.
Lu Shi opened his mouth, then realized that there was indeed no such rule in the regulations, so he waited until Ye Bugui entered the house before closing the door.
The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.
Both Ye Bugui and Lu Shi regarded each other as reliable teammates.
When eyes meet, there's no awkwardness; instead, there's only concern for each other's well-being.
"You really didn't check your phone last night?"
Ye Bugui hummed in agreement. He strolled slowly around the room, taking in the furnishings. It was no different from his own room.
"No, I don't even know where my roommate hid her phone. It just so happened that her phone fell right next to you. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"
“I know.” Lu Shi shook his head; this was the first time he had ever been completely clueless. “It’s like I was set up.”
“There are two possibilities,” Ye Bugui said, standing next to Lu Shi again. “First, your constitution is very special, and you have triggered a hidden plot.”
"Hidden dungeon?" Lu Shi immediately thought of this.
“No,” Ye Bugui shook his head, “Aside from hidden dungeons, many dungeons actually have side quests. They don’t affect the main storyline, nor do they count towards exploration progress, but they offer substantial rewards.”
Lu Shi thought about it. As the only known player from the cultivation world, his physique was indeed very special.
If this is a hidden plot point, what should he do? Can changing the course of a dream affect reality?
"As for the second point," Ye Bugui said seriously, "I think this is more likely. Every player can trigger their roommate's storyline through their phone. And you really are just exceptionally lucky."
"In the end, I'm still quite special." Lu Shi didn't laugh; being special isn't a good thing.
“Of course,” Ye Bugui suddenly put his middle finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture: “There are sounds in the corridor.”
Lu Shi also heard it; it was the sound of a small cart.
The young waiter came again, but this time he didn't shout; instead, he knocked on each door.
Lu Shi heard the noblewoman's voice: "Thank you, I really like this stir-fried water bamboo with pork."
The waiter bowed very politely: "I'm glad you're satisfied."
Soon, the waiter had only a few players' doors left to knock on.
Han Baobao never expected that her door would be the first one to be knocked on.
"Hello," the waiter's voice was gentle and cheerful, the kind that would instantly lift your spirits. "Today's lunch for you is your favorite spicy hot pot and cola set meal."
Suddenly, Han Baobao felt hungry. Before entering this game, she was just an ordinary female college student.
While everyone around her is anxious about their body image, Han Baobao's greatest hobby in life is eating.
The spicy hot pot stall near the school gate was her favorite. Even through the door, she could almost smell the familiar aroma, making her mouth water.
But she didn't dare to speak, not even a simple refusal.
"It has your favorite beef, luncheon meat, cilantro meatballs, fluffy tofu puffs, and a complimentary sausage with your order."
!!
Han Baobao almost fell for the trap; all she wanted was to eat something!
But ever since she got involved in this game, her life has undergone a complete transformation.
Even during her fifteen days of rest, she couldn't relax. The thought of entering a game that would soon kill her made Han Baobao lose all interest in food.
If it weren't for Cao Ran, she might have died in the dungeon long ago.
Just as Han Baobao was about to be tempted by the waiter's delicious food, Cao Ran made his move again.
Han Baobao, who had already reached the door with her hand on the doorknob and her eyes glazed over with greed, suddenly snapped out of it.
She was like a completely different person; no matter how much the waiter tried to sell her the spicy hot pot, she didn't budge.
Her cold, apathetic demeanor was strikingly similar to that of her best friend, Cao Ran.
The waiter's expression twisted for a moment before he reluctantly left.
Cao Ran, sitting on the floor in the next room, looked completely lost, but deliberately kept his distance from the doorway.
"Cao Ran," Cao Ran sat on the floor, talking to himself in his heart, "Have we switched back?"
"Let's wait a bit," the calm Han Baobao said, simply lying down on the floor. "Anyway, you're not interested in the things I like to eat."
Cao Ran gave an "oh" and then fell silent.
Yes, she is actually Han Baobao.
Her character card and Cao Ran's character card share a unique skill.
【twin】.
They can exchange souls anytime, anywhere.
This is why their rankings on the leaderboard are so close; they get the same number of points every time they clear a dungeon.
However, to avoid attracting attention, they would deliberately buy things to make their points differ.
