Chapter 391: How to Own Five Buildings

In-game.

Bai Liu tapped Tang Erda on the shoulder: "Hurry up and finish this game so you can get back to reality and deal with these problems."

"Yeah." Tang Erda took a deep breath and got up to grip the handle of her gun, "Don't worry, I won't affect my game form."

Bai Liu averted his eyes and looked at the other three men who were sleeping, "It's about time, wake them up for their shift and let's rest."

Tang Erda nodded and looked at Bai Liu: "Actually, I thought that given your personality, you would have chosen a more direct and quicker way through this copy."

Bai Liu laughed a little: " Captain Tang thought I'd choose to butcher the building, didn't he?"

"Yes, not exactly." Tang Erda hesitated for a second, "I don't know if I'm misunderstanding, it's true that the time cost of seizure is on the high side with the owners in the old property in this copy, but then there's the new property, which is owned by the acting developer, so why not just kill the developer to seize ownership of the new property on the day it's sold? "

"For example, this new property that's now open in Area C is doable if you want it."

The smile on Bai Liu's face remained the same: "Because it's not the right path to play."

Tang Erda was stunned: "Not the right game path?"

"It's a scary game Captain Tang." Bai Liu lifted his eyes and smiled lightly, "If you can win by simply killing people, isn't that not scary at all?"

"If a path looks like it will complete the main quest without any horror in it, then the odds are that it is not the correct path."

Bai Liu smiles and says, "It's sort of like a horror game design principle thing."

Tang Erda is wrapped up in this, and he wrinkles his nose in thought: "But the path does seem to work."

"Then there's only one possibility." Bai Liu smiled, "and that is that the horrific elements of this path have not yet been uncovered."

Zone C, 3am.

Shi Qian and Yuan Guang followed C Dong, hiding in the crowd, with Shi Qian using a small fog skill to hide behind him.

They are not prepared to snipe npc's on a large scale at the moment, these npc's will turn into ghosts when they die, and there is a chance that hate will be pulled on their heads and the map, so it is best to do as little damage as possible, snipe with precision and only kill the target npc, even if this C Dong turns into a ghost when he dies there will only be one ghost.

One monster is good to deal with, a group of monsters, for a two-man team like theirs, that's not so good to deal with.

The abandonment of three teammates reduces the risk of death, but at the same time the risk of death on them increases and they have to be more cautious in their actions.

After leaving the new building, this C Dong went to four or five celebrations in a row, in an environment where there were not less than 100 people. Yuan Guang followed them dizzily for almost three hours before seeing this C Dong get on the bus back to the C area after going to the last venue.

Shi Qian, who was following behind, was in high spirits: "It looks like he's going home."

A little smile appeared on Yuan Guang's face as he let out a long breath and stared straight at the mansion parked in front of Area C: "This silly wave has been going on all night and finally made us wait until now."

When he was waiting in the car park, C Dong, the NPC, suddenly said hello to the bodyguards who had been following him and walked towards the car park bathroom, at this point there was only one bodyguard following him.

Shi Qian and Yuan Guang looked at each other, both seeing the words [the best time to strike] in each other's eyes, and then quickly split into two sides, Shi Qian silently using the cover of the fog skill to adorn the bodyguard's back.

Yuan Guang went straight back around and moved fast against the wall, just in case, pulling down the hood of his pullover sweatshirt to cover his face, the hobby knife in his hand being pushed out in one piece.

After catching a glimpse of the bodyguard being taken down by Shi Qian, who was using his Mist skill, without making a sound, Yuan Guang stepped out from the corner and, with his head down, bumped into C Dong who was about to walk into the toilet.

C Dong drank a lot of wine at all the various celebrations, and now people are a bit confused, and they can't even straighten their tongues when they speak: "You, you, how come you have three heads? Are you a family here to buy a house from me ......"

Yuan Guang didn't answer him, he lowered his head, extended his utility knife and wrapped it around Dong C's neck from behind, slashing upwards diagonally without storing up any energy.

The thin knife in Yuan Guang's hand exploded with such force that blood spilled directly into the mirror at the front of the bathroom, and C Dong had no room to struggle, covering his neck and falling straight down.

[System Alert: Player Yuan Guang uses skill weapon (artisan knife) on npc C Dong]

[npc C Dong was killed]

Shi Qian contacted the Mist skill and darted through a cloud of mist, crouching down to pick up the corpse, mumbling under his breath as he did so, "ID card, keychain, cigarettes, condoms ...... grass!"

Shi Qian's eyes glowed as she looked up at Yuan Guang, who waved a pile of certificates in her hand, "The title deeds for the new building!"

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Shi Qian for taking the lead in obtaining the ownership of an entire building in the new District C development!

[Main Quest (Owning Five Buildings) Completion Progress (1/5)]

Yuan Guang, who was crouched next to him, finally relented completely and helped Shi Qian to his feet: "Let's retreat and go find the next proxy developer."

But before the smiles on their faces could be fully put away, they heard a succession of system prompts.

[System Alert: The new property owned by the two of you is currently under development and requires a constant injection of funds to maintain the property rights. According to the current market price of the property, the two of you are required to prepare a capital of 60 billion within one hour, otherwise the new property will stop construction if the capital chain breaks, turning it into a building-]

[- Rotten buildings.]

The smiles on Shi Qian and Yuan Guang's faces froze.

[Countdown begins: 59:59]

Shi Qian quickly calmed down and went to a nearby cash machine to check the cash on C Dong's ID card, then his face quickly sank: "The balance is less than three hundred million."

Yuan Guang took a deep breath: "They must have other sources of cash for these people, they don't all put it in their ID cards."

"C Dong, the ID card of this npc living on the top floor, only has three hundred million in it." Shi Qian's nerves spasmed several times when she heard the word rotten, she tried to take two deep breaths and said in a rapid tone, "If we want to gather sixty billion within an hour, even if we rob at least two hundred of these npc's living on the top floor."

Yuan Guang was quicker to realise the reality than she was, holding the bloodstained knife, the tip dripping blood downwards, as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "It won't come together."

"We couldn't come up with ten billion in three years in that better part of reality, how can we possibly come up with sixty billion in an hour in Sunnyside."

Shi Qian closed her eyes as she clutched the title deed in her hand: "The house is already in our hands, we can't run away, we have to get it together even if we can't, we can't give up."

The two were silent in this way

Yuan Guang exhaled a foul breath and lifted her head, her eyes a little red: "I was the one who got emotional, you're right, come on, let's go and figure out what to do."

Shi Qian nods and the two men leave the car park.

The body of C Dong, who had fallen in a pool of blood on the ground behind them, then squirmed and moved on his fingers, a purple sucker growing out of his fingertips.

C Dong's body squirmed and stood up, he became fat and his hands flared out into huge knobby tentacles, over three metres long, tipped with slippery octopus-like suction cups, and a ring of teeth could be seen inside.

His body began to swell, layers of fat circling his neck and belly and legs, looking like a Michelin tyre man made of human flesh, the flesh shining from the strain, looking like a giant blister that had grown on his skin after being burned, feeling like it could burst into a pale yellow pulp if you poked it with a needle.

[System Alert: Dead npc corpse alienation completed, changed into monster (hungry developer)]

[System Alert: The monster will roam the floor it has developed, attacking all those who enter the floor, eating each other's skin and flesh and drinking each other's bone marrow.]

C Dong's eyes and nose were stacked in layers of fat into three invisible slits, and only his mouth became strangely large, with jagged teeth so sharp that saliva dripped from them constantly, and a strange, muffled sound emanated from his throat:

"My Delicious Houseguests ......"

It stuck out its incredibly long tongue and licked the skin of its mouth, and a red light emerged from the slits of its eyes, "Where is it?"

New building in Area C.

Although it was midnight, the place was still lit up and the tenants who were waiting for the transaction results to come in were waiting anxiously outside the sales office.

Sunshine City buyers and sellers are buyers who first take out a loan from a lender owned by the developer, get the money, and then after handing over the money to the developer, they have to wait 6 or 7 hours for the developer to review the amount of money and the eligibility of the purchaser before they will start to gradually issue the property license qualification downwards.

But the wait has been extraordinarily long today, it's almost 4am and not even one person has qualified for a property licence.

People are getting more and more anxious waiting, the vast majority of them are not able to pay for the house in full, they are all taking out loans to buy, before the house is in their hands, they owe decades of loans first, this gap of a few hours to pay but not get the house is difficult for everyone.

They looked up at the huge black shadow of a steel and concrete shell in the darkness, adorned with a ring of led bulbs hanging from an advertising tape that reads [Sunshine House, Happy Place to Return].

At the sight of the sign, the anxiety in their eyes was held down again and a sense of yearning and hope emerged - that of the new building in Area C, their future home.

Someone looked down at their watch and couldn't help but whisper, "It's almost four in the morning, are the formalities taking so long today?"

As he was reciting these words, a huge red countdown light screen projection appeared on that building.

[00:10].

[00:09].

Those waiting below looked at the huge light and began to discuss among themselves in confusion.

"What's that?"

"A Lightway show for a new property?"

When the light countdown jumped to [00:01], it turned into a huge [rotten] sign.

Xiaodong in the sales office pushed open the door, her face was pale and she forced a smile to bow to everyone and apologise: "Sorry, something has happened to our property and we need to shut it down temporarily, please come and get your certificates tomorrow."
