Money Desire City XIV
Money Desire City XIV
Gu Ci yawned, slowly sat up, and then slowly slid down the edge of the bed.
Don't want to struggle.
Gu Ci collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud and couldn't be helped up.
Why is she so sleepy in her weakened state? Not only does she not have much strength in her body, but the most important thing is that she simply cannot wake up. This was simply impossible for her before.
A pair of hands dyed with bright red cardamom reached out from the side to help Gu Ci up. The bright red wide sleeves slid down from the wrists with the movement, covering the simple silver plain bracelet on the wrist.
She waited until Gu Ci stood up before she withdrew her hands. She didn't know if she heard Gu Ci's lazy thank you.
When Gu Ci opened the package he bought yesterday, he felt something was not right.
The clothes are all very beautiful, at least they meet the aesthetic tastes of most people. The tailoring and design can be seen to be made by famous people, but the strange thing is the fabric...
Gu Ci touched it without hesitation and understood instantly.
In the past, humans had many uses, and they made many things, including face painting, skin replacement, bone flutes, skull cups, etc. Human skin clothes were no exception. But what she didn't expect was that there would be a master with such exquisite craftsmanship here. If she hadn't seen and touched many things made of human skins, she would have just thought it strange and not studied it further.
Interesting place!
Gu Ci turned out all the clothes and finally found a badge tightly wrapped in a dust bag at the bottom of the box. This badge was different from the one given by the previous courier. The words "Money Desire Hotel" are written on a gold background the size of a silver coin. A closer look at the pattern reveals a struggling hand that seems to be unwillingly trying to break out of the ground.
What is this thing...?
Gu Ci carefully recalled what was in her mind and found that it was the first time she saw a badge with this kind of graphic pattern in the Money Desire Hotel. Not only the players, but there was no one else she saw in the hotel!
Is it some hidden item?
Gu Ci casually put the thing into his backpack and sat in front of the dressing mirror.
The pale hands removed the accessories that had not been removed yesterday one by one. The soft yellow hair cascaded down and covered the entire back. The pale hands picked up the wooden comb and picked up a bunch of hair and combed it carefully and gently, with such skill as if he had done it hundreds or thousands of times.
Gu Ci looked at the red figure with half of her body exposed in the mirror without saying a word. He just silently watched her nimble hands move through her hair to tie up half of her hair into a bun.
What a skillful hand!
Gu Ci couldn't help but express envy. She wanted to praise her but couldn't remember her name for a moment. At this moment, a scream was heard outside, so loud that it could be heard clearly even through the door.
Gu Ci tilted her head slightly, curious about what was happening outside, but the hand ruthlessly straightened her head and told her to look at the mirror and not move.
Gu Ci turned back obediently and blinked, "I'm just curious."
After she put the last strand of hair up, the person behind her seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She crossed her hands and kept changing gestures to express her dissatisfaction to Gu Ci.
"Don't act rashly before you've mastered the territory. I sense that there are many malicious eyes here."
After the last gesture, her hands were quietly folded on her abdomen like the most elegant lady. Gu Ci knew clearly what she wanted to express. She stared at the person in the mirror for a long time before she laughed.
"Mute girl, you shouldn't say this. You are the most arrogant and talk nonsense person."
The woman in red in the mirror seemed a little embarrassed. She raised one hand and waved it guiltily to ask Gu Ci not to change the subject.
Gu Ci didn't say anything. He straightened his clothes and went out to look for the source of the sound.
It's strange to say, yesterday Gu Ci couldn't find his room no matter how hard he tried, but today when he just went out, he only saw a long corridor, and at the end of the corridor was a wall that separated everything.
Are the scenes different at night and during the day?
Gu Ci reached out and touched the wall and didn't feel anything wrong. It was normal with almost no flaws. This means that the hotel will return to normal during the day, so why are the screams outside so clear?
Gu Ci bent his fingers and knocked. Behind the wood-colored wallpaper was thick concrete. The solid texture told Gu Ci not to think about destroying it and to just look for the elevator.
"Dear guest, what are you doing? It is against hotel rules to damage public facilities in the hotel."
A sinister voice came from behind, so close that it seemed to be right next to Gu Ci's ear.
Gu Ci turned around and looked at the waiter affectionately. Gu Ci could even see white maggots tumbling and surging inside his eyelids, which ordinary people could not see, and holes under the bluish-black skin.
Gu Ci reached out and pulled.
It's good, not bad.
Gu Ci walked around her and left the small corner where he was trapped, avoiding the question, "I heard screaming outside, did something happen?"
The waitress was stunned when Gu Ci pulled her face, but she quickly reacted. It was just a few brave food. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was actually very panicked. As long as they showed their true colors, her beautiful face would belong to her!
The waiter glanced at Gu Ci greedily and approached her again. "Sir, are you destroying the hotel's public facilities just now?"
This time the waitress was very close. She was in a superior position and oppressed Gu Ci, trying to crush him with her height.
Gu Ci looked at the face that was moderately ulcerated and visibly corrupted, and his gaze silently moved downwards.
The waitress was trying hard to raise her feet in high heels, her feet were almost in a straight line, and the weight of her whole body was supported only by the tiptoes.Money Desire City 15
Money Desire City 15
"It's quite a shoe"
It would have been fine if Gu Ci hadn't watched it, because it was very funny once he saw it.
It's rare to see a ghost who works so hard.
Gu Ci smiled at the waiter and slowly said, "I want to complain."
"Wha…what?"
The waitress was stunned for a moment. She blinked twice, unable to believe what she heard. She stood there in a daze, not even noticing that half of her hand had fallen off.
"I said, I! Want! To! Complain!"
Gu Ci said it word by word, and then the waiter's face became depressed and panicked. "No, no, no, sir, you misunderstood."
She knew about Gu Ci's misunderstanding, but she directly blew up the hotel manager by using the excuse of scaring the guests by not dressing properly. Looking at the waiter squatting in the corner, cowering and not daring to take the half hand in Gu Ci's hand, Gu Ci's smile became more sincere.
"This is what happened. Not only did she threaten and coerce me into confessing to a trumped-up charge, she also threw her hands everywhere. I have my doubts about the service in your hotel."
Gu Ci tossed his hands and met the waiter's accusing gaze. Gu Ci turned around and added, "Look, she dares to glare at me now, and she will dare to hit me tomorrow. Is this the level of service in your hotel?"
Good guy, personally went up to the hotel.
You have to know that the main focus of their Money Desire Hotel is that the customer is God and the main focus is service.
Although there have been many complaints over the years, this is the first time that someone has directly cut off someone's hand and refused to return it. Moreover, the person in front of us is a key service target!
The hotel manager smiled and said, "Dear guest, this is our waiter's fault. Let me ask them to apologize to you first, and we can discuss the bad experience they have caused you."
The hotel manager quickly asked the waiter to come forward, and as the waiter stumbled over, one of his eyeballs fell to the ground again.
The dirty eyeballs, which were still covered with maggots, rolled on the ground, and the scene became even quieter and silent for a while.
The waitress looked innocently at the manager who pushed her, while the manager pursed his lips and looked at the corner. The two of them tacitly agreed not to look at Gu Ci.
After hesitating for a while, the waitress picked up the eyeball that had fallen on the ground, wiped it on her clothes, and stuffed it back into her eye socket. She looked at the half of her hand in Gu Ci's hand and bent down slightly. "Sir, I apologize for my behavior."
The waiter felt a little embarrassed because he hadn't returned her hand yet. Did this mean that she was giving him her body?
This is considered a work injury!
Gu Ci returned her hand to the waiter and watched her hand return to normal before pressing the elevator button next to her. "Your makeup is ruined."
Look, how can a mouth with a temperature of 37 degrees utter such cold words!
The waiter pursed his lips in grievance and said, "Your destination is on the fourth floor."
Looking at the numbers on the elevator constantly changing, Gu Ci nodded and thanked him.
You are a very nice person.
The waiter sighed, looked at the manager next to him who had a bad expression on his face, and silently moved half a body back. The boss is broad-minded. Don't panic when encountering problems. The boss is tough and can handle big things. It's enough to just deal with small fish and shrimp like her one by one with a normal attack.
"Dear guest, this is all a misunderstanding. This is because the new staff of the hotel are ignorant. Please be magnanimous."
The manager adjusted his expression and looked at Gu Ci with a smile. The classic action of rubbing hands like a fly is extremely appropriate and classic no matter where it is placed.
Gu Ci glanced at him and quickly lowered his head to look at the tip of his shoes.
There was a very strange smell on his body, a bit like the smell of a swill bucket, a bit like the smell of rotten and smelly blood, and a bit of the smell of burnt hair.
I don't know why he smells so bad, but this kind of character is usually petty and vindictive. She had encountered many before, but his stink was particularly diverse, making people feel sick to their stomachs.
But judging from the attitude of the hotel manager, it seems that making a complaint is a scene they are very reluctant to see. If you complain, they will definitely be punished, but I don't know what the punishment is that they are so afraid of.
Just the taste...
She didn't know if it was Gu Ci's illusion, but she felt a little dazed after smelling it. She also didn't know if it was the effect of the Weak Baff or the manager in front of her.
Gu Ci moved away from him calmly.
"Hahaha, guest, we are together."
After the elevator door opened, the hotel manager squeezed in. His fat body took up almost one-third of the elevator.
"Dear guest, you are the most distinguished guest of our hotel recently. We definitely hope to provide you with good service and make you feel at home. Please forgive us for some shortcomings."
The hotel manager looked at the fragile girl in front of him with a smile. He didn't understand what was so outstanding about her that she would spend so much money in the later period. Maybe she just liked some fancy operations. However, the money was indeed worth spending. After all, the material of this dress was very difficult to find, and it took a lot of material to make such a complete dress.Money Desire City 16
Money Desire City 16
The hotel manager was not sure what special abilities this weak girl who looked like she could be eaten in one bite had, but he still did not dare to take it lightly. After all, there were quite a few people who pretended to be pigs and were actually very powerful before, and those people caused their hotel to suffer huge losses during that period.
Thinking of this, the hotel manager asked Gu Ci tentatively, "Dear guest, are you satisfied with the clothes you bought?"
Gu Ci looked up at the manager, who immediately began to explain, "It's like this. The clothes you bought yesterday can be considered a sideline business for our hotel. After all, our hotel is so big and has so many employees. The hotel business has not been very prosperous these days, so we always have to expand some side businesses to support ourselves, you know~"
Seeing that Gu Ci didn't react, the manager guessed that she didn't understand what he meant and continued, "So in order to repay our customers, we specially put a small badge in your package. This badge is the special logo of the Money Desire Hotel. Wearing it will give you priority to enjoy all the benefits and treatment in the Money Desire Hotel."
It's a VIP card.
Gu Ci nodded.
I just don't know why this elevator is so slow. Logically, the floors are not that far apart, so why has it been so long and it still hasn't reached the fourth floor?
Gu Ci looked at the elevator display screen which kept showing a downward arrow, but it never reached the fourth floor.
Also, why was the hotel manager so anxious to wear that badge himself?
It's not that Gu Ci didn't believe what the hotel manager said, but she believed that everything has two sides, with both advantages and disadvantages. There must be some hidden side effect of that badge, but the hotel manager didn't say it.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your reminder."
Gu Ci responded to the hotel manager's words with a smile. Seeing a satisfied smile on the hotel manager's face, Gu Ci knew that his guess was correct. There is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. Even if there is, it will first smash people's heads and bleed before making people swallow tears and blood to enjoy it.
"I wish you a happy life"
The hotel manager smiled, and when he said this, the elevator made a ding sound and slowly opened.
Gu Ci glanced at the hotel manager, who responded with an even brighter smile before exiting the elevator. The structure outside was the same as that of the floor where Gu Ci lived, with a long corridor and several rooms on both sides. The only difference was that there were many people gathered here now.
Clothes of various colors were piled together so that people had no idea how to squeeze in. A strong smell of blood emanated from it, which made people feel sick while also stimulating their curiosity.
Gu Ci couldn't squeeze in and could only stand at the elevator door. Several times she was almost pushed back into the elevator. There is no order at all here, and if you are not careful, you will be pushed down and trampled.
This is not a good phenomenon.
Gu Ci stepped back silently and was thinking about finding a reason to complain to the hotel to verify her guess, but this strange hotel seemed to have discovered her little thoughts. A waiter appeared out of nowhere and looked seriously at the people gathered together. The corners of his smiling mouth drooped suddenly.
"Dear guests, please abide by the hotel's accommodation rules, do not crowd, and please keep quiet."
The waiter's face looked quite ugly. After all, so many people gathered together and making so much noise could easily bring negative impact to the hotel.
After hearing the waiter's voice, the people who had been crowded together in front and vying to be the first to see the video suddenly became quiet and stood quietly on both sides of the corridor.
No one would think of offending these people in the early stage. You have to know that any NPC picked out from these weird copies will affect their clearance speed and increase their difficulty.
Seeing the crowd quiet down, the waiter scanned these people and suddenly smiled. "Everyone who violated the hotel rules will be fined 10,000 yuan."
!
How many?
Gu Ci blinked.
It's better to wear stockings on your head when robbing, so that you don't have to find an excuse to rob.
Not only Gu Ci, several people who were watching the show on the side stepped back when they heard the waiter's words. "I'm just standing here for a while. It's none of my business."
The waiter's gaze stayed on Gu Ci's face for a while, then he turned his head and looked at the people who were retreating. The smile on their faces disappeared. He stared at them expressionlessly. "So, do you want to try another way?"
The waiter stared at them thoughtfully, but Gu Ci saw excitement in his eyes. "It's also possible to change the method, but the guests may feel a little pain. But it doesn't matter, the service in our hotel is very good, and this pain will not last too long."
The waiter couldn't wait any longer. He took two steps forward, stared at the people, and couldn't help licking his lips. "Excuse me, sir, who will come first?"
The waiter's eyes danced between their faces, as if he was trying to figure out which one to start with. But the constant noise behind him attracted his attentionMoney Desire City XVII
Money Desire City XVII
The frequent noises made the tall waiter look back at the player who kept pressing the elevator button and warned him with a smile, "Sorry, guest, while the hotel staff is handling matters, those present cannot leave unless they pay a fine."
The waiter said it very easily. The tone was casual, but the warning between the words was self-evident.
They looked with sympathy at the few who said they would collect it in another way. In this case, to put it another way, it is nothing more than something in yourself.
But here the injury survival rate plummets. You can't run, and you can't fight. Either you pay money or you hand over something, you have to pay it anyway.
I think those people understood what it meant. They hesitated for two seconds and then gritted their teeth and said, "We'll pay the fine."
"That's it."
The waiter pursed his lips and blinked in disappointment, "Okay."
He looked at the people present and smiled a little embarrassedly.
When he smiles, there is a canine tooth at the corner of his mouth, which looks very cute. But this person who looks very shy now just now said mercilessly that he would pay the fine. This is really heartbreaking!
Why is a good kid being fined all the time?
He turned around and looked around at everyone's faces. When his eyes fell on Gu Ci, he could clearly see that he had a look of confusion and uncertainty on his face.
After a long while, he finally recovered from his tangled state. He stared at Gu Ci, who was smiling as he took out a card swipe machine from somewhere. "Then let's start with the VIP users of our hotel. I hope you can take the lead and show others."
Wow.
Is this considered a sudden disaster?
Using her as a target is a good decision.
VIP user = rich. And in this place where money is spent like water, money = continuation of life. As soon as she shows that black card today, her information will reach the ears of every player.
She can also choose not to leave the hotel, but she won't be able to find any clues. If other players find any targeted clues or props, she will be even more reluctant to move.
Gu Ci laughed, and the feeling of powerlessness when she raised her hand made her take a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, my fingers are too wide to leave any money, so I spent it all. Let's discuss writing an IOU and buying on credit. I'll pay you back when I come back from begging."
Seeing the waiter frown, Gu Ci slowly added, "Or, you can use the miscellaneous things I bought as collateral."
When he saw the waiter's face frozen and sullen and he reluctantly changed the target, Gu Ci became more aware of the problems of this hotel.
In the eyes of this snobbish hotel, it should be impossible to use things as collateral, but judging from the waiter's behavior, he seemed very reluctant to use this as collateral.
In other words, he would rather those clothes made of special materials stay in her room, by her side.
There must be something wrong with those clothes too.
But she opened it and looked at it, and found nothing unusual except for the strange raw materials. Does it have to wait until the later stages or does it require something else to interact with each other before it can be triggered?
Gu Ci was not in a hurry when she felt that someone was looking at her, either openly or secretly. While the waiter was collecting the stolen money, she walked openly to the place where the noise had just gathered.
It was a room near the end of the corridor. The door was open and a strong smell of blood wafted out from inside. Standing at the door, you can see many scratches on it.
The room was also very small. There was a blood-stained quilt on the small bed, and the end of the bed was just far enough from the door to open and close. Two steps away from the bed is a table and a bathroom without a door. The whole space is terribly small.
There was a man sitting on the ground with only half of his body left. His organs were all over the floor, and blood was spreading around him. A considerable amount of blood flowed along the patterns on the floor and gathered at the door, forming a small puddle.
Looking closely, the man's expression seemed terrified, and his entire face was distorted as if he had seen something terrible.
"How pitiful! This guest stayed in our cheapest room, but he definitely didn't listen to our advice and opened the door himself. Judging from these signs, he was attacked by a wild beast."
The waiter didn't know how long he had been standing behind Gu Ci. Gu Ci could only feel that the light source behind him was blocked and he was shrouded in shadow.
"Beast?"
Gu Ci remembered what the employees had written on the brochure he had taken before.
But were these really done by wild beasts? If it was done by a wild beast, why were there only scratches on the door? If it was really this person who opened the door, why didn't anyone hear it in such a small place?
Gu Ci turned slightly and looked at the person who was half a fist away from him, waiting for his explanation.
"What a shame. If he had the money to live in a better room, maybe he could watch the fun like you guys."
The waiter sighed and shook his head regretfully, looking at Gu Ci
"You're right, beggar sister."
!
?
What?Money Desire City XVIII
Money Desire City XVIII
Oh!
Gu Ci sent a few death smiles and turned his back to the waiter to express that he didn't want to talk.
The waiter's words just now attracted more attention towards Gu Ci, but it also gave a corresponding message to other people.
Cheap rooms are more likely to be attacked.
Sensing that some people were ready to make a move, Gu Ci looked up at the waiter who was looking at him with a smile, moved the corners of his mouth, smiled perfunctorily, and then dropped his mouth again.
Little guy, you are so tall.
"Don't panic, guests. I will notify the cleaning staff to come and clean it."
The waiter smiled at everyone, said something into his headset, bowed to everyone, walked through the crowd to the elevator entrance and pressed the down button.
Gu Ci followed the waiter slowly.
The previous boss also told me some news. Could the monster that attacked people today be the same one that I encountered yesterday?
Gu Ci followed the waiter into the elevator and took out the card and handed it to the waiter, but his eyes were fixed on his eyes to observe his expression. "Thank you for your help."
"What a perfunctory and clever guest"
The waiter swiped the card and quickly handed it to Gu Ci, standing elegantly at the side of the elevator. "It's okay if you keep looking at me like this, but there will be an extra charge."
Gu Ci quickly looked away when he heard this. "Can your hotel disclose guests' privacy at will?"
The waiter looked at Gu Ci in confusion and said, "Of course not."
After he finished speaking, he looked a little strange as if he remembered what he had said. He quickly explained to Gu Ci, "VIP information is visible to the public, but your specific information is confidential. Our hotel's service is top-notch."
Gu Ci did not answer, but just watched the number jumping repeatedly quietly, as if it would never reach the next level or the previous level.
Perhaps realizing that Gu Ci didn't really want to talk to him, the waiter touched his face and carefully put the skin behind his ear that was almost fallen off back to its original position, then stood in the corner of the elevator, and the numbers suddenly changed. With a ding, the elevator door opened and many people were standing outside.
These people were dressed differently, and their faces were somewhat different from the people Gu Ci usually saw. There are blue eyes, green eyes, blond hair, and flaxen hair. The most important thing is that some of these people are dressed gorgeously, as if they are here for a picnic or vacation. But some people had blood on their bodies, and they looked at Gu Ci, who had just come out of the elevator, with vigilance.
Gu Ci did not stop. She casually glanced at the receptionist who was inputting information. After receiving her smile, Gu Ci slightly quickened his pace.
During the distance Gu Ci walked from the elevator to the door. The people waiting in line to check in looked at her with suspicion, some of them even unconcealed the malice in their eyes.
Gu Ci remembered what the front desk receptionist said when he checked in yesterday. The number of rooms here will gradually decrease and most of them have been booked in advance. So who booked these extra rooms in advance?
The answer is obvious.
The more capable players have already survived the first night of eliminations, and accordingly they should have found a lot of clues last night.
However, looking at the looks of these people, Gu Ci was not sure whether this was the clue they got last night. Or just in a moment, the clue that she might be a victim had been leaked.
If it was the former, she wouldn't have to worry so much. If it was the latter, it only proved that these people must have some props to exchange information. In this case, this is particularly bad news for Gu Ci, who may know other players or even form a group with them. She is alone and helpless and can easily be targeted.
Gu Ci paused as he was about to head to the pedestrian street, then turned and headed in another direction. The waiter standing in the lobby watching her leave turned around and greeted the guest next to him. "Hello, this is the Money Desire Hotel. How can I help you..."
Gu Ci looked at the little guy in front of him who was not even as tall as his waist, wearing a tattered hat and a sack, and for a moment he suspected that the patrol team was teasing him.
After all, if a fight really breaks out between such a small creature, this little bean can only beat five people at most, no more.
The little kid in front of him was very outgoing. He adjusted his worn-out hat and looked up at Gu Ci. "I introduced myself just now. I'm Naughty Boy. When you're playing here these few days, I'll protect your safety! Please trust me~"
When the naughty boy lowers his head, you can't see his expression or face, and from his appearance he looks like a child of a few years old. The voice was also his grandmother's. When he raised his head, all you could see was his head wrapped in straw, with two glass beads placed irregularly on his face. When he spoke, the words did not come from his mouth, because there was no mouth on that straw-wrapped face.
He clenched his skinny little hands and punched the air twice. The vicious look is weird but also a little cute.
Gu Ci nodded, "Okay, but I won't cook~"
It wasn't that she didn't really trust the little guy. Actually, the opposite. The weaker something looks, the more powerful it is unimaginably. Otherwise, why would this little guy be at the top of the list, with a salary almost twice that of the second place.Money Desire City 19
Money Desire City 19
"It's okay. A true warrior is self-sufficient. And I don't need to eat, so you don't have to worry about me. I can also help you clean the room. After all, fragile humans need careful care."
The naughty boy pushed his hat down. Then he followed her and held the edge of her skirt like a pendant. "Now let's set out bravely."
Increased sense of security
Gu Ci walked slowly in front. The naughty boy held the hem of her skirt as if it was weightless and no one could feel it. However, the occasional pulling feeling made Gu Ci feel that there was someone standing behind him to protect him.
Well, the points will be returned to me in the end anyway, so I should use these inflated points whenever possible.
Gu Ci swaggered and brought the naughty boy back to the hotel. The moment the hotel staff saw the naughty boy, Gu Ci could clearly feel the nervousness of the hotel service staff.
"Hello, dear guest, what are you doing..."
Although the receptionist was talking to Gu Ci, his eyes kept glancing at the naughty boy behind him, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.
It seems that I have chosen the right person. Gu Ci ignored the receptionist and instead pulled the hat of the naughty boy behind him and said, "Come and say hello to the young lady."
The naughty boy was also very polite. When he heard what Gu Ci said, he poked his head covered by a hat from behind. One hand grasped the hem of his skirt, and the other waved, "Hello~"
The sudden appearance of a child in the hotel is something that deserves attention. The players don't know the twists and turns, but the hotel does.
After saying hello to the naughty boy, Gu Ci took him to the elevator and to his room.
At the door of my room 6666. The naughty boy tugged at Gu Ci's skirt and asked Gu Ci to hide behind him and sniff the air like a puppy. "There is a strange smell here."
The naughty boy had no nose but still made such vivid movements. Gu Ci couldn't help but relax. This weakness buff made her feel really uncomfortable, so she just had to go through this. My whole body felt like it was falling apart and I just wanted to lie on the ground like a puddle of mud.
The naughty boy slowly walked forward, took Gu Ci's room card and opened the door. He first carefully turned on the light in the room to ensure it was safe, and asked Gu Ci to wait at the door within his sight while he carefully inspected every corner of the room to confirm it was safe. Then he waved to her with confidence, "Come in, it's safe inside~"
Gu Ci came in slowly. The naughty boy who was standing on the sofa quickly trotted over, pushed the door with both hands, and closed it considerately.
After patting the dirty spot he stepped on and cleaning it up, the naughty boy picked up the fruit on the coffee table in front of him, climbed onto the sofa, knelt down, stood up, picked up a small piece of fruit with a toothpick and fed it to Gu Ci's mouth, "Ah, open your mouth."
When the naughty boy sat up straight like this, he was only as tall as Gu Ci when he was sitting. They look like little children, imitating adults and taking care of each other.
The fresh fruit still had water droplets on it. Gu Ci glanced at the naughty boy and asked, "What was that strange smell you just smelled?"
This puzzled the naughty boy. He scratched his head and thought for a long time before he said uncertainly, "It doesn't smell very strange. But it's a little different from here. Um... just like... just like the umbrella you are holding."
Gu Ci raised his eyelids slightly and sat up straighter. "Can you smell what it is?"
The naughty boy sniffed in the air again, pondered for a long time, and began to feed again with some hesitation, "Uh... it's the smell of a human. I'm not sure. It feels a bit similar to your smell, but also a bit different. But don't worry, I will definitely protect your safety first. The naughty boy will go out and accomplish his mission."
The naughty boy jumped down from the sofa, stood on the ground and saluted in a funny way. His childish voice made Gu Ci couldn't help laughing.
Gu Ci patted the sofa next to him and asked Naughty Boy to sit down. "Did you treat your previous employer in the same way?"
The naughty boy sat on the sofa. His legs couldn't reach the ground, so he swung his slender legs in the air for fun. Hearing Gu Ci's words, the naughty boy shook his head
"It is our aim to take good care of every customer, but there are so few customers who can afford to hire me. I can count the number of customers I have protected on one hand. That's what they say. One business at a time, and you can make a living from it for half a year."
The naughty boy leaned his body, approached Gu Ci and sniffed gently, "And I think the smell on you is a little familiar. But I'm not sure. By the way, did you come from far away? I heard that we are playing a game here. Then let me ask you, have you seen a very beautiful person somewhere else! Her name is Zhizhi."
The naughty boy leaned on the sofa and sighed in frustration, "Actually, the reason why my price is so high is that I want to save money to find my sister. I lost contact with my sister a long time ago. I need enough money to get out of here. To find my sister and then go with my sister to find the person she wants to find."
The naughty boy looked up and asked Gu Ci sincerely, "Have you seen her? If you have, can you tell me where she is? If not, but you see her in the future, can you tell her? I miss her very much, I'm looking for her."Money Desire City 20
Money Desire City 20
The naughty boy almost cried.
"Zhi? Which Zhi?" Gu Ci nodded and asked. After all, there should be a lot of people with this name, and he had to make sure of the name before he could look for it later.
The naughty boy raised his head, revealing two glass-like eyeballs. He looked at Gu Ci blankly, and Gu Ci also saw a bit of confusion in those two glass eyes.
"Are there many Zhi? I only know that my sister's name is Zhi Zhi, which means Zhi, which means a little snake down there."
The naughty boy shook his head blankly, then turned around with his hands in his pockets in anger and said, "I can't read!"
Angry, let the employer guess.
Like a little snake? Gu Ci nodded and took the travel brochure on the coffee table, then took a pen from the pen holder next to it and wrote a word on the paper, "Take a look, is this it?"
On the travel album printed with beautiful pictures, there was a crooked, barely recognizable "Zhi" written on it. At first glance, it really looks like a small curved snake on it.
"Wow, it's really similar. The words you wrote are a bit like my sister's. It really looks like a small fish swimming underneath. Yes, yes, that's it."
The naughty boy came over and took a closer look. A sound of surprise was made.
From his voice, one can tell that he is impressed by this word, rather than disgusted.
Gu Ci breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put the pen back. She was not used to writing with this pen. It was already good enough to learn so much in just three days.
"Employer, if you see my sister, you must tell her that I'm looking for her." The naughty boy put the brochure away. "As for your safety, I guarantee it."
Gu Ci nodded, pulled over the box containing the express delivery, took out the small medal inside and handed it to the naughty boy, "Look at what this is."
Gu Ci yawned and leaned back on the sofa sleepily. He looked at the naughty boy and shook his head before turning on the TV. However, she came back early today, so when the TV was turned on, there was noisy snow and the screen was flashing. No matter how Gu Ci adjusted it, it was the same.
It seems that the show will not start until a certain period of time has passed.
Gu Ci pressed the switch on the remote control and turned to walk towards the small balcony next to her. She sat on the chair there with her back to the room, leisurely admiring the scenery outside the window.
However, the flashing snow screen did not turn off when Gu Ci pressed the power button. If you look closely, you can see that while the snow screen was flashing, a pair of dirty hands were crawling from the edge of the TV to the center of the screen, little by little, extremely slowly but silently.
There was some flesh on the blackened fingers, and the hands were bare without any clothes covering them. As it continued to crawl forward, a dirty and disheveled head slowly appeared at the edge of the screen.
The hands stretched forward and dragged the body forward. It looked like he was struggling. His palms seemed to be covered with water, leaving hand prints on the floor. However, because the screen was flickering, only the hand prints on the floor and the black and grey color of his body could be seen.
The dirty head was facing down and moving with its hands as if it had no consciousness. The hands stopped only when the head was almost out of the edge of the screen. The hands, standing upright like spider legs, looked extremely weird at this moment.
"Gurgle"
A sound like some extremely tired animal panting, or like bubbles of snot constantly popping out, came out from the screen.
After a few seconds, the sound gradually became smaller, but the head turned over, and under the messy hair, a pair of huge, bloodshot eyes stared at the naughty boy sitting on the sofa.
Like the sound coming from an old man's lungs, the person on the screen struggled and moved towards the naughty boy in a twitching manner, and his upright hands kept hitting the TV screen.
The naughty boy sat up straight without any reaction. A hand quietly stretched out from behind to cover his two cold glass eyes.
"What horror movies do children learn to watch?"
Gu Ci sat for a while and found that the strange thing could not come out of the screen, so he walked forward and pressed the switch again and again.
However, apart from the fact that the snowflakes flashed faster, the picture did not disappear. In the moment when the snowflakes appeared to block the screen, the head was close to the screen, and the rotten flesh on the face was clearly visible on the TV screen.
Gu Ci slowly walked over and stood in front of the TV. After watching for a long time, he raised his finger and silently signaled: Come out.
The thing on the screen was silent for a moment and then tried to squeeze in front of Gu Ci, but there was a glass screen between them and it couldn't squeeze in no matter how hard it tried.
The naughty boy was getting a little impatient waiting, but he couldn't get angry because this person was his victim, so he could only ask in a muffled voice, "Employer, can you let go of your hand? I want to watch another show."
The man who covered his eyes smiled and said, "Don't make a fuss, kid. I really like this TV show. Let me watch it for a while."
The naughty boy said "Oh" and sat obediently on the sofa without moving. I just think that people like them have some problems in their brains. But he just did what his employer told him to do.
Money Desire City 21
Money Desire City 21
When Gu Ci heard the voice, he turned around and saw the intricate golden sleeves covering most of the naughty boy from both sides. As she walked back and sat next to him, she loosened her hands that were covering the naughty boy's eyes.
"How come you're so fast?"
The naughty boy shook his head and looked at Gu Ci who was sitting beside him in confusion, "Can you teleport? So fast."
Gu Ci smiled but didn't answer. She picked up the remote control and pressed it several times, but the TV seemed to be broken and there was no picture on display. There was only flickering snow on the screen and a person who was trying to struggle out could be seen vaguely.
"This kind of thing should use electricity. Would it be better if we unplug it?" Gu Ci seemed to be talking to himself. But as soon as she said this, she was interrupted by the naughty boy next to her.
"No, if you really pull the plug, you'll be dragged in the next second."
The naughty boy sighed and looked up at Gu Ci with envy, "You are really rich, it's like you have cheats. Originally, these things would have required them to go through constant exploration to find them. But because you are so rich, you have already bought this information in advance with your money."
That's true, if Gu Ci hadn't spent so much money in advance with his previous boss and got the news that he could hire someone. How could I know from this naughty kid that the TV plug cannot be unplugged?
However, when Gu Ci asked the naughty boy about the TV, the story behind it, and the hotel, the naughty boy didn't say a word, just like a real puppet.
It turns out that there is still a lot of information that cannot be known directly. But it doesn't matter, Gu Ci already knows enough, he can just slowly figure out the rest by himself.
Besides, she was already very satisfied to get so much information. After all, she hired the rascal just to save herself some trouble. Just ensure your own safety.
When the naughty boy was hired, there was no stipulation in the contract that he should contribute all the information he knew.
The naughty boy jumped off the sofa, walked to the TV, touched the screen, turned around and looked at Gu Ci confidently. Before he could say anything, he saw the monster that almost covered the entire screen grinning and dragged the naughty boy in at lightning speed.
"..."
Gu Ci was about to remind him not to move but the words turned around in his mouth before he could finish them, what a naughty child.
However, Gu Ci was not worried at all. After dragging the naughty kid in, the TV screen flashed and went black. She didn't care whether it was turned off or not. She just looked for a book on the bookshelf and slowly walked to the balcony and sat down.
Gently turning the pages of the book and feeling the light breeze blowing on his face, Gu Ci nodded with satisfaction and then stretched his legs onto the small chair in front of him, covered his face with the book and took a short rest.
Gu Ci was awakened by a knock on the door. She slowly went to open the door and saw the hotel manager with a pale face as if he was bleeding heavily and the naughty boy who was having fun with his head shaking.
The hotel manager forced a smile and said "Hello"
Gu Ci nodded, his mind not quite clear, "Why did you send him back?"
The hotel manager's face became even worse. He looked at Gu Ci as if he wanted to see something from her face, but due to his identity as a member of the Naughty Patrol, he could only force a smile. "It's a bit presumptuous to say this. May I ask where did you get the information about hiring the patrol team?"
The hotel manager smiled stiffly and resentfully!
The new employee is not sensible at all. He comes out in broad daylight to cause trouble. It would be fine if we just catch any one of them. But the man who happened to catch a patrolman severely punished the hotel for imprisoning guests and endangering their personal safety.
The hotel spent a lot of money on this and had to happily send the owner back, lest he suddenly get the urge to clear out the hotel and re-check it.
The hotel manager glanced at Gu Ci who had the door half open. She looked defenseless standing behind the door and should be easy to deal with. But... the hotel manager took a look at the naughty boy at Gu Ci's feet and immediately gave up the idea.
It's okay, just wait a few more days.
He will get everything back, including the fines!
Gu Ci smiled and said, "You know I'm being rude but still asking. How rude of you." Then he closed the door and left the hotel manager with a gloomy face.
Gu Ci naturally would not ignore the gloomy expression of the hotel manager, but she would not ask the naughty boy what was behind the TV. This was just the beginning.
Fourteen days, very long~
Gu Ci really stayed in the hotel for a long time. The waiters or cleaners who usually knocked on the door for various reasons were all ordered away by the naughty boy. Except for being a security guard at night to beware of monsters who like to climb walls, the naughty boy really fulfilled his oath to take good care of Gu Ci.
From spreading the floor and folding the quilt to picking up shoes and massaging the back, every task was completed very seriously.
Gu Ci did not go out, and the system seemed to have disappeared. Apart from broadcasting some information and giving some instructions to novices, it could not provide any useful information.
But as time passed, the smell of blood became stronger and more disgustingMoney Desire City 22
Money Desire City 22
The monsters at night roared in the dark like they were parading. As they walked, Gu Ci could clearly hear the sound of their saliva dripping, as well as the sticky feeling of mucus on their bodies when they rubbed against each other.
During the first eight days, people would scream only at night, but after the eighth day, inconspicuous monsters would hide in dark corners and attack lone people during the day.
Some of those attacked were players, and some were locals of the City of Money and Desire. The bodies of those people who were outside the City of Money and Desire were first discovered to have disappeared, with clear bite and tear marks on the shattered bodies.
Just like the first person who died, he was torn apart first and then proceeded to the next step. However, the periphery did not attract the attention of these people, but only made the surviving players secretly alert.
And most importantly, the resources in the City of Money and Desire are simply not enough for so many people to share. These people originally lived an extremely extravagant and wasteful life, and everything in the City of Money and Desire depended almost entirely on procurement and transportation.
When people discovered that these monsters had surrounded the City of Money and Desire and cut off the transportation chain, everyone in the City of Money and Desire became extremely panicked.
Scarce food and water resources have put them in crisis. Some people complain that they cannot take a hot shower, while others humbly pray for a glass of water for themselves to drink. The prices of water and food are rising at a precipitous rate.
As the game progresses, in addition to ensuring that you get enough money, you must also be careful not to be backstabbed.
Yes, on the fifth day some players discovered the problem. They did not spend anything at all, but the money in their accounts was less every day, and it was increasing a little bit every day.
It was only at this time that they discovered that even if you didn't buy anything here, when the player stood within the scope of the City of Money Desire, he would be charged the corresponding "rent". This meant that the player had to actively look for clues and props, otherwise he would have to wait until the money in the account was not enough to support his survival.
Players will stay in this luxurious prison forever.
Fortunately, a sturdy room can withstand a lot of unnecessary damage. As the sturdiest hotel, Money Desire Hotel has become the first choice for players. However, it is difficult to stay for several days in a row due to the high price.
Furthermore, the Money Desire Hotel itself is also dangerous.
Gu Ci felt a little bored while listening to the continuous noise outside and watching the live broadcast on TV. On the fourth day, the remaining two of food, clothing, housing and transportation were also developed, but they were nothing more than some construction materials, defense tools and so on.
And buying things here is much cheaper than buying them in physical stores. Moreover, the hotel will arrange for someone to deliver the tickets to your room, which is a good thing for most players.
Gu Ci has a naughty baby so there is no need for so many. But recently she also found that the food was getting worse and worse, from the full fruit and rich dinner before to now gradually decreasing. The fruit also became a little wrinkled.
The naughty girl doesn't need to eat, and she doesn't really care about it. Because Naughty Boy had started collecting food a few days ago and prepared enough for her to last for the remaining few days. It doesn't matter even if the hotel comes to her now and tells her that it has no resources to supply.
A naughty bag is a must-have when going out.
Moreover, she was really afraid that the hotel would put those weird things in her food again like last time, and Gu Ci could hardly bear it.
Gu Ci drew another mark on the paper.
Today is already the eleventh day, and there are still three days left to complete this copy. However, apart from finding a clue on the first day, she has found nothing else. She accidentally heard that some props or clues could be found in the copy. It may be an important clue to the next copy.
Well, it wasn't a coincidence. I heard it from Naughty Boy. Naughty Boy often went out to play and brought back some news between players to share with her.
And she also wanted to see what was happening outside during this time. She was almost getting moldy in this house.
The naughty boy had no objection to her idea. After all, it was impossible for him to tie his employer to this house just for the sake of simplicity. Although he wanted to do this to reduce unnecessary trouble.
Gu Ci walked out slowly. The hotel, which should have been a prosperous place, now looked like it had suffered a disaster. In addition to dirty footprints, there were also various drag marks on the ground.
The ornamental flower pots placed in the corner had long been broken into pieces. In addition to human hand prints, there are also many claw prints on the walls of the bottom layer.
The same thing happened on the streets outside, with everything being trampled and destroyed. The once bustling street was now empty. The gold-plated building looks somewhat lonely and desolate against the backdrop of the sunlight.
There were bloodstains on the walls and the ground, and many broken limbs could be seen here and there. Broken pieces of cloth stained with blood had stuck to the ground and had begun to turn black and smelly after a long time. In those corners where the sun didn't reach, Gu Ci could even hear the panting of some reptilesMoney Desire City 23
Money Desire City 23
Gu Ci originally planned to look for those players to see if he could exchange something for some clues, but judging from the current situation, there were probably very few players outside.
Gu Ci looked around. When she saw a small corner of an alley on the right, she paused slightly and turned to leave. However, she didn't expect that the moment she turned around, a small object suddenly flew out from the corner and fell at her feet.
The little thing expanded at an extremely fast speed and formed a transparent ball around Gu Ci, trapping Gu Ci inside. The ball restricted her movements, but it looked like it was made of water and was very fragile, and it seemed like it would break at the slightest touch.
Gu Ci stretched out his fingertips and touched it. The special feeling made Gu Ci subconsciously withdrew his hand.
Several people came out from that corner. They were three tall adult men. One of them seemed to have a foot injury, so he walked the slowest and fell behind.
"I finally waited for you to come out of the cave."
The man in front was thin and walked the fastest. He was holding a big sword inlaid with silver rings in his hand and looked very powerful. He swiftly carried the sword and walked to Gu Ci, looking her over. "You are indeed the most powerful person in this dungeon. You are still so clean after such a long time."
He looked at the weakness buff on Gu Ci's head and couldn't help laughing. "So you are the unlucky one. No wonder. With this weakness buff, how many days can you survive? Be smart and hide in your room like a turtle. Maybe you can survive this dungeon. But you insist on coming out to die, so you can't blame us."
He shook his broadsword twice in his hands. The sound of the silver rings colliding with each other is frightening. The seemingly heavy sword was no different from a piece of paper in his hand, which shows how strong this man is.
Sufficient display of strength can effectively deter opponents under normal circumstances and prevent them from acting rashly. It is obvious that this group of people today also have the same purpose. After the man in front of him finished showing off his skills, he picked up the knife and pointed it at Gu Ci, "Hand over your card."
Card?
Gu Ci looked at the three people and tilted his head with a smile, "What card?"
"Still playing dumb here. Very good, very good. But it doesn't matter. You won't be able to speak in a while. In fact, it is also a good choice to reduce the number of competing players in the dungeon. The rating index should be higher. This is the path you chose. You can't blame us."
The man in front was stunned for a moment, then he picked up his sword and looked at it in his hand. He lowered his head and looked at the front and back of the sword as if he had heard something funny, then he stretched out his thumb to wipe the blood on his cheek, bent down slightly, and supported his legs with his hands.
"I advise you to hand it over. This way you will suffer less. Don't even think about playing any tricks. This item is an S-rank item. Do you want to break it?"
The man in front stood up and walked around Gu Ci again. He sucked twice like a puppy, then raised his finger, pouted his lips and said slowly, "Impossible" word by word.
The remaining two people also laughed, but Gu Ci didn't have so much time to wait for him to finish speaking. She didn't have such good patience to wait and see the other party do something stupid.
At this critical moment, I still waste so much time talking to a prisoner. These people are so idle. Well, maybe I'm too confident in myself. Gu Ci hooked his hand behind him, and the naughty boy slowly walked out from the back of the hotel.
I've never seen Naughty Boy do this before. But he gives people the impression of being a tiny guy, so I always imagine him jumping up and hitting someone's knee without any lethality.
But in fact, the moment the naughty boy appeared, even the surrounding sounds became quieter. I don't know where the naughty boy pulled out two long swords that were longer than himself from. Each of the swords was twice as long as him.
When the sharp blade came into contact with the ground, it left a deep scratch on the ground. His skinny little hands grasped the long knife in the opposite direction and broke through the stone wall, picking up the flying gravel horizontally. He pressed the handle of the knife down with great force, and the long knife in his left hand flew out of his hand.
While everyone's attention was on the flying long sword, the naughty boy instantly changed his position and appeared in front of the three brothers at various angles, holding another long sword in both hands.
When the long knife at the beginning flew back to the naughty boy in an extremely elegant arc. The three men had completed the human pyramid posture and were lying quietly.
The blood flows slowly and the body temperature gradually disappears. The money amount belonging to them was transferred to her account after a "ding" sound.
Wow~
Awesome, my bag!
Gu Ci nodded and applauded in high praise.
"These people are not the most powerful. The really powerful ones are over there." The naughty boy put away the knife, and the knife disappeared in his hand in an instant. He picked up the ineffective ball and handed it to Gu Ci, his eyes falling on a nearby commercial street.
