Sunday.
Morning. Around 7 AM.
Zhang Ye was so excited that he did not sleep the entire night. He tossed and turned in bed, fantasizing about his beautiful future. Then, he heard the door open. Only he and the landlord had the keys to his rental apartment. Even his parents did not have them. Without a doubt, the landlady had come uninvited.
The small room did not have a living room, so when he opened the door, he saw the bed.
He heard Rao Aimin's mature voice floating over, "Kid, are you asleep?"
Zhang Ye rubbed his nose and turned around, "I'm awake. Are you looking for me?"
Rao Aimin's plump buttocks sat on the side of the bed and smiled, "You have also been hired by the radio station. You will be reporting tomorrow. Isn't it time to return the rent you owe Big Sis?" As she said that, she magically pulled out a calculator from nowhere and tapped it a few times, "It's time to pay this month's internet bill. You still have to add another 80."
Zhang Ye yawned, "What did you say?"
Rao Aimin repeated, "Didn't hear me clearly? I said your rent is now a total of 2,662. "
Zhang Ye said, "No, what was the first thing you said?"
Rao Aimin blinked, "The first thing? Kid, are you asleep? "
Zhang Ye covered his head with the blanket and suddenly rolled over, "I'm asleep!"
"Hey, you little bastard!" Rao Aimin finally realized what was going on. She raised her arm and smacked Zhang Ye's leg that was wrapped in the blanket, "Are you looking for a beating? Get up! Don't play dead for me! Get up quickly! If you can't pay the rent, then do the housework for me! Pay it back bit by bit! "
Zhang Ye shamelessly said, "I'll sleep a little longer."
"I'll give you half an hour! I'll be waiting for you at home at 8! "Rao Aimin walked away with a sullen face.
Zhang Ye could not express his difficulties meeting a landlord who loved money as much as her life. However, he really did not have any money this month, so he could only crawl out of bed with difficulty to brush his teeth and wash up.
Oh right, let's take a look at the game ring. This was the biggest thing he could rely on to become a big shot in the future.
When he clicked on it, he realized that his Reputation points had increased. After spending 100,000 yesterday, he was left with 99983 Reputation points. But now, it had increased to 99999. There was no need to ask to know that this had something to do with the interview. He had performed so well and even used Gorky's most famous novel, "The Song of the Stormy Petrel". It was not an exaggeration to add some Reputation points. Now, he just needed one more Reputation point to continue the lottery draw. According to common sense, this was a very general concept. From the perspective of the game, it was a very vague term. Hmm, it just so happens that I haven't figured out how reputation points are increased. Let's do some housework for the landlady auntie and see if I can get some reputation points. Just one more will do!
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the corridor, "Little Zhang!"
When Zhang Ye saw that it was 8 PM, he hurriedly walked towards the landlady auntie's house in his slippers. In a place like Beijing, every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. She could be said to be a real rich lady. But strangely, Zhang Ye and the other tenants had lived here for a long time, but he had never heard of Big Sis Rao having any relatives or friends. She was not married or had children. He had also never seen Big Sis Rao work. Hence, in everyone's eyes, this beautiful landlady was very mysterious. No one knew why she was so rich.
Rao Aimin's house was also on this floor. It was the largest loft apartment on this floor. It was a small duplex, and the total area was about a hundred square meters.
The door was open, so Zhang Ye went straight in, "Landlady auntie, I'm here."
Rao Aimin said sarcastically, "Were you a pig in your previous life? You take so long to get up! "
Zhang Ye explained, "I was too happy yesterday and didn't sleep the entire night. I'm still sleepy now."
"Isn't it just a job interview for a radio host? Is there a need to be like this?" Rao Aimin struck him down, "The radio industry is no longer the same as it was 20 years ago. With television and the internet, how many people still listen to the radio?"
Zhang Ye also understood that the radio industry was no longer as glorious as it was in the past. He sighed, "Hai, if only my Mom had given birth to me 50 years earlier. Then I would have been able to catch a good time."
Rao Aimin sneered, "Your Mom is only 50 years old. How did she give birth to you 50 years earlier? Do you think your Mom is a snake spirit! "
Zhang Ye, "..."
Just say how venomous her mouth is!
Rao Aimin ordered, "Cut the crap. Hurry up and get to work!"
Zhang Ye rolled up his sleeves, "Alright, tell me where to clean. I'll take care of your chores today."
"Clean the windows, sweep the floor, wash the sheets, and also my clothes. I'll leave them to you." Rao Aimin poured herself a cup of tea and calmly sat down on the sofa. She crossed her legs like a landlord. Today, she was wearing a blouse and a long skirt that was not very fashionable. She wore a pair of black flats and looked a little old-fashioned. However, a mature and beautiful charm still exuded from her bones. Beautiful people were beautiful no matter what they wore.
Zhang Ye could not resist Big Sis Rao's beauty. He could not help but glance at her sexy legs. Finally, his gaze landed on the gray blouse that Big Sis Rao was wearing. He was very envious.
Hai, let's get to work. Sweeping and wiping the floor, Zhang Ye got busy.
Rao Aimin was a person who could not stop talking. Whenever she had the time, she would criticize Zhang Ye, "What are you wiping? I'm telling you, don't mess around with me!"
"I'm not messing around."
"Alright, alright. Go wash the clothes!"
After going to the bathroom, Zhang Ye sighed and pulled a stool to sit down. Those that could be washed by the washing machine were washed by him. As for those that faded or could not be washed by the washing machine, he could only wash them by hand with detergent. One piece after another, Zhang Ye was not idle the entire morning. But towards the end, he sweated a little. The dirty clothes in the clothes frame were a few pairs of nude stockings and two sets of underwear. One set was nude-colored underwear without lace, while the other was coffee-colored briefs with engravings. There were no bras, so it was a single piece.
This is also for me to wash?
Zhang Ye struggled with his thoughts for a long time before helplessly putting the stockings into the detergent. After gently washing them, he grabbed Big Sis Rao's underwear. The material was very soft, and there were obvious traces of white in the lining. After scratching his head, Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and washed it for her. There was no other way. Owing a debt had no human rights. However, as he washed, Zhang Ye felt a little itchy. He had never been in a relationship in his 20 plus years, much less such a scene. Zhang Ye kept feeling a little hot in his nose. This was the first time he had come into contact with a woman's underwear. Oh, and it was dirty.
Noon.
Zhang Ye had completed his mission. His back was aching.
"Are you done washing?" Rao Aimin glanced at the clothes hanging on the balcony. It was rare that she did not have a venomous tongue. She said with satisfaction, "Yes, not bad. Alright, stay for lunch." Putting down the ancient book, "Classic of Mountains and Seas", she went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. The existence of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was not modified by the game. There were changes in this world, but there were also things that did not change. The details still needed Zhang Ye to slowly understand and get used to it.
Zhang Ye was very happy. After eating instant noodles for too many days, he could finally eat a proper hot meal. He sat on a chair to rest. After taking a few breaths, he casually opened the game ring's interface. He discovered that his Reputation had really increased by one. It was now 100,000 points!
This was given to him by the landlady auntie? It looked like his idea was right!
The game ring's explanation of Reputation was: The increase of Reputation was related to a player's popularity, exposure, achievements, respect, trust, reputation, and other factors. That was to say, as long as a person trusted him, admired him or acknowledged him, his Reputation would increase by one. Furthermore, everyone's Reputation could be stacked and repeated. How did it come to such a conclusion? From the previous interview, it could be seen. There were a total of eight interviewers, but Zhang Ye's Reputation went from 99983 to 99999. It increased by 16 Reputation points. This meant that when Zhang Ye wrote a thousand words off script, everyone gave him an additional 8 Reputation points. When Zhang Ye recited "The Song of the Stormy Petrel", the eight people gave him another 8 Reputation points. The numbers matched perfectly!
After understanding what Reputation meant, it was time for the Lottery. Let's see what he could get this time!
Zhang Ye was looking forward to getting an item that could turn him into Superman. He would be worshipped by the entire world. How blissful would that be? But thinking about it, it was unrealistic. Some people were bitten by spiders and the venom invaded their bodies, so they became Spiderman. Some people were buried in their bodies, so they became Iron Man. Some people spent years with bats, so they became Batman. Well, if all of this had a scientific basis, Zhang Ye felt that... the chances of him becoming an Instant Noodle Man was higher!
He clicked on the Lottery, spent 100000 Reputation points. He was left with zero!
The Lottery interface appeared. Zhang Ye deliberately blew into his palms and rubbed his hands. Then, he clicked on the button to spin the wheel!
It had begun!
The needle spun on the wheel!
"Special Category! I'll draw the Special Category! " Zhang Ye muttered to himself. Looking at the size of the area on the wheel, even a fool would know that the Special Category was the rarest. Although he did not know what the introduction meant by "increasing the purchasing authority of a certain item", it was definitely the right thing to ask for.
However, this 2 out of 100 luck did not fall on Zhang Ye's head. The needle stopped and was still pointing at the largest area, the Consumption Category.
Treasure Chest (Small) dropped!
He took out the chest and opened it. There was a dazzling light!
Lying inside was a Band-Aid shaped item!
