Red String of Fate?
Good stuff!
Zhang Ye did not reject anything. After using it for such a long period of time, he knew that some seemingly unremarkable special items would often come in handy. For example, the Lockpicking Skill Experience Book. Back when he drew it, he thought it was trash, but in the end? It saved his life! Hence, Zhang Ye was no longer picky with his food. He wanted everything, so the more things he had in his inventory, the better!
Another draw!
This time, another Additional Stake!
The Consumption Category was the largest area. The needle stopped and landed in this area. Immediately, two Treasure Chests (Small) appeared.
Opening the Treasure Chests, a dice-shaped item appeared.
[Difficulty Adjustment Die] 2: Takes effect after it is rolled. Allows the player to randomly adjust the difficulty. The duration is random.
Seeing this item, Zhang Ye, who had previously said that he would not reject anything, could not help but curse. F * * k, why was it this crappy thing again? He had even Added Stakes to get two "Difficulty Adjustment Die"? Can you stop messing around? Big Bro! Go back to where you came from! Zhang Ye really wanted to throw these two dice away. He wanted to throw them as far as he could, but when he thought of how the dice would take effect the moment they hit the ground, he threw away the thought. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. With regards to this thing, Zhang Ye's psychological pressure was too great. If it had not come up with an abnormally high difficulty, he would not have encountered the hijacking incident. If not for the Lucky Bread and the Airline Piloting Skill Book, he would not have been able to return!
This die was a double-edged sword. The pros and cons were equally great!
The pros were fine, but once the cons were drawn, it would be a narrow escape from death!
I was still considered lucky on the plane. The increase in difficulty lasted for more than 50 minutes, but if I were to get a f * * king increase in difficulty for a year … Would I f * * king be able to live?
A car hitting me when I go out?
A dog biting me when I take a stroll?
A flower pot falling on me when I walk downstairs?
Just thinking about it made Zhang Ye shudder. Are you guys trying to kill this bro?
Zhang Ye was afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake, but he did not want to repeat the same mistake. Anyway, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not use this die. Hence, he quickly took it out of the Treasure Chest, afraid that it would fall to the ground and automatically take effect. After evaluating the difficulty, he kept it in his inventory.
Forget it, I won't draw anymore.
My luck is not good today.
… …
Six o 'clock in the evening.
The past two days, Zhang Ye had eaten a lot of fish and meat. The airport and China Airlines people kept hosting banquets, but Zhang Ye was not hungry. He used the excuse that he had something to do and did not join them for dinner. He quietly left the hotel alone and wore a pair of sunglasses to cover his face, afraid that someone would recognize him. Actually, this fellow was thinking too much. Although the hijacking incident had made Zhang Ye famous in the country, the only people who knew what he looked like were the fans in Beijing. They could not receive "Lecture Room" here. At most, there were only a few photos of Zhang Ye on the internet. Those who did not often watch his program would not be able to recognize Zhang Ye when he walked in front of them. There were not many people in Shanghai who could recognize him.
The street was brightly lit.
Neon lights twinkled in the distance. It was very lively.
Zhang Ye was indeed busy at this moment, so he did not take the subway. Instead, he flagged down a taxi and drove towards the city center. He had already obtained the address of Weiwo Video Company. A middle-aged man had contacted him on the phone this afternoon. However, Zhang Ye did not plan on going to the company. At this time, most people would be getting off work. He wanted to rent a house near the company. After all, he would be staying for a few months, so he had to arrange a place to stay.
…
The Bund.
The sound of water drifted through the air. There was the smell of the river in the wind.
Men and women were leaning on the railings, either flirting or watching the scenery. The atmosphere was leisurely. There were yachts constantly cruising past on the river. Many of the boats had the advertisements of various banks and insurance companies. It was a scene that spoiled the scenery, but overall, it was a very charming place.
There were quite a number of people, but it was not chaotic. The scenery was very quiet.
In Beijing, there was no place like this.
Zhang Ye specially got the taxi driver to drop him off here. He strolled around the scenery and walked far away. After about 20 minutes, he found a real estate agent at the entrance of a large alley. There were not many real estate agents here, unlike the ones in Beijing that were all over the place. After looking around, the one in front of him was considered the bigger one. Seeing that the lights were on, Zhang Ye walked in.
"Sir, how are you?" The person at the front desk was a woman who was not very good-looking. She was wearing a shirt and trousers with a badge hanging on her chest. However, her makeup was very thick, making her look quite gorgeous.
"Hello, are you off work?"
"No, we only close at 10."
"I want to rent a house. It's best if I can move in today or tomorrow."
"Alright, then let me take a look for you. Please have a seat. I'll get you a glass of water. What type of apartment do you need? What's the approximate location? What's the price? "
Zhang Ye took off his sunglasses and sat in front of the computer with her. There were all sorts of housing listings on the screen. Indeed, the agent did not know him. "The price doesn't matter. The main thing is that it has to be nearby. The house has to be newer and better renovated. The size doesn't matter.
I'll live by myself. "The woman began looking for a house for him," Most of the houses here are high-end residential areas. If you don't ask about the price, there are many suitable houses. For example, look at this one. It's two bedrooms, 90 square meters. It was renovated last year, but the location is a little far. It's about 2 kilometers away. What do you think? "
Zhang Ye looked at the map. It was a little far. His ideal residence was near Weiwo company. It was a ten-minute taxi ride away, "Let's change to another one."
After looking at a few more, he was not satisfied.
It was not that the renovations were not to his liking, but that the transportation was too far.
Zhang Ye did not want to waste it, "Is there a one bedroom? I'm alone. "
The woman shook her head, "It's basically a high-end residential area. The smallest is only two bedrooms. Why don't you take a look at this one? It's in a good location and has a good layout. Two bedrooms and the renovations are not bad. It will definitely meet your requirements. However, the house is sublet. The previous tenant signed a year's contract with the landlord, but now that he is moving, there are only about three to four months left on the contract."
Three to four months?
Heh, isn't that perfect!?
Zhang Ye was also very satisfied with the layout, "I won't be staying here for long. I think this is fine. Three to four months shouldn't be a problem. Let's take a look at the house?"
"Alright, I'll bring you there." The woman was very happy.
"Can I move in today?" Zhang Ye asked.
"Yes, the other party has already moved out. I'll give him a call and get him to come over. If it's fine, we can sign the contract today. It won't be a problem." The woman answered.
This was a high-end residential area.
The Bund's housing prices were all there. Other than a few old houses from decades ago, the surrounding area was a high-end residential area. One could tell from the district's decor and greenery. There were even small man-made lakes and fake fountains. Of course, the rent was also very expensive. This two bedroom apartment was about 90 square meters, and the monthly rent was 11,500 yuan. Including the intermediary fees, it would be 12,300 yuan. It was not cheap at all.
After looking at the house, Zhang Ye was tempted. He had just received a million yuan from China Airlines, so he did not lack this bit of money. After all, he was a celebrity now, so he could not live too shabbily, right? If he squeezed into a small rental house, others would think that he was not popular enough. Hence, this sum of money was necessary. Even if his heart ached, even if he was stingy, Zhang Ye had to be generous for once.
Posturing was a required course for a celebrity!
As a celebrity, if you did not posture, you would not even be able to greet others when you go out!
"It's settled. This one. You guys prepare the contract. I'll go to the hotel to get my luggage." Zhang Ye happily finalized the contract. Then, he took a taxi back to the hotel to pack his things.
