Bubble: ╥﹏╥
Bubble: (>﹏
Bai Zhi: "..."
"How are you doing? Can you talk?"
Bubble: (╯' - ')╯
"Can't speak? Because you've lost too much?"
Bubble: o(TヘT o)
"This thing..."
Looking at the bubble on his hand, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
… He kind of doesn’t know what to do with this thing.
But while he was thinking, two small hands hugged his neck without knowing when.
Putting her head on his shoulder and letting her golden hair hang down, Anna's pitiful voice sounded behind him.
"Your Highness, Anna is hungry."
"What, are you awake?"
Putting aside the bubble issue for the time being, Bai Zhi turned his head and glanced sideways, then smiled and started talking.
"I bought a lot of snacks when I came back today. I'm going to give them to you now..."
"Anna wants to eat marshmallows."
Before Bai Zhi could finish his words, a certain blond loli interrupted him, waving his fists in the air, his tone full of seriousness.
"The kind you can eat in light clothes."
Bai Zhi: "..."
For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was being raped in bed... So when did Anna know about this
At the same time, the expression on Bai Zhi's hand and Bubble's face was changing extremely, from Σ( ° △ °|||)︴ when Anna arrived, to Σ(っ°Д °;)っ, ヽ(*.>Д
But then...
Bubble: (°ー°〃)
Bubble: w(°ｏ°)w
Bubbles: (□_□)
—No one knows what it saw.
… … … … … … … … …
With the passage of time and the awakening of Qingyi and Hitomi, the originally quiet villa quickly became lively.
Since he was at home this afternoon, several lolita seemed quite excited and basically stayed around him all afternoon.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi simply played with them all afternoon.
- Leisure time like this seems to be rare in his memory.
Correspondingly, a certain Bubble was completely frightened. Before, Xiao Hua could scare him into trembling, let alone those Lolita.
So in the end, it just got back into the pencil and pretended to die.
Bai Zhi didn't bother to care about this, but he already had a rough idea in his mind about the future use and destination of this bubble.
"Barbecue... why did you suddenly think of doing this?"
Sitting on the lounge chair in the courtyard, with his hands on both sides of the guardrail of the chair, looking towards Bai Zhi with his head tilted back, Xia Wen asked.
Because she had to rush to level 25 as soon as possible, during this period of time, she, the school beauty, and Mu Qianse basically spent time in the shadow world conquering the [game].
If they hadn't made some money from the entrance and exit tickets for [Plants vs. Zombies], plus there was a certain discount as a friendly partner of [Relevant Departments], they might not have been able to support this kind of consumption.
After all, the tickets for some games nowadays are better for small ones, but for medium and large games that have limited entry conditions and number of people, the tickets are all very expensive.
By the way, the [Plants vs. Zombies] game currently owned by their [what] guild is a small game in terms of game type.
"Because Qingyi wants to eat barbecue."
While busy skewering the meat on skewers, Bai Zhi didn't even raise his head.
"If you have nothing to do, come over and help."
"What do you mean having nothing to do? Haven't you seen that I'm almost dead from exhaustion? The game strategy is very exhausting."
Rolling his eyes, Xia Wen looked weak, and the two hands originally resting on the armrests also fell off the chair.
"Ah, I really want to take a shower and go to bed directly..."
"Do you need help?"
Putting the stringed sticks aside, Bai Zhi raised his head.
"Huh? How can you help? You can help me relieve..."
With a muffled sound, someone returned to his position without changing his expression.
"You're welcome."
To be honest, this guy is too noisy.
Ever since I came back from Shadow World, I have been sitting there chattering non-stop...
-Under the shroud of the setting sun, Xia Wen fell into a baby-like sleep as he wished.
Among the three people, Xia Wen was the first to return from the Shadow World. When the sun completely set and night began to fall, the school beauty and Mu Qianse followed suit and returned from the Shadow World.
With the two of them joining in, Bai Zhi's efficiency improved a lot. After hearing that Xia Wen fell asleep on the recliner without knowing it, the school beauty thoughtfully helped Xia Wen put pillows on him and cover him with a thin quilt.
The moonlight is like water, and the courtyard is as empty as accumulated water.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, without the colorful lights of big cities, everything here seems extraordinarily quiet and... lively.
Two seemingly contradictory words can be combined quite harmoniously at this moment.
It was a pretty cozy evening.
... Although it was a bit unfriendly to Xia Wen who woke up after they had almost eaten.
"I can't help it. Who told you to sleep so soundly before? We are too embarrassed to wake you up."
Bai Zhi patted the other party's shoulder with a regretful expression, and pointed to the barbecue grill.
"Don't worry, I've left it for you. I'll definitely take care of it. But remember to clean it up after you finish eating."
Xia Wen: "..."
Volume 2 The Miracle of Micro Probability: Chapter 1295 Chapter 378 Pauper (4k)
Shadow world.
After the Shadow World was opened to all players, the Shadow World is no longer what it used to be.
Although the entire world is still desolate, it is becoming more and more lively thanks to the construction of players and ghosts.
Walking in the shadow world, Bai Zhi even felt as if he had returned to the transit place again.
It's just that although it is said to be world-famous, the area occupied by Shadow World players now is only a slightly larger town.
The center of the town is the system auction house. The guilds organized by major players and the companies they formed are building around the auction house in full swing.
The skills possessed by players are all kinds of strange, and various professions are emerging one after another. Therefore, in less than a month, dozens of modern buildings with dozens of floors have been built.
Behind these landmark-like buildings that have replaced the System Auction House, it can be said that there are behemoths standing one after another.
[Relevant Departments], [Clock Tower], [Nordic Heavy Industry], [Blood Cross Society], [Tianshuge Pavilion]... and so on.
As for Bai Zhi's [What] guild and [Big Bird Zhuanzhuan Bar], which have no more than ten members, they are basically in the lower ranks in terms of player guild power.
Even before that, if it hadn't been for Bai Zhi's deliberate care, it would have been impossible for Yanhuo Fengyue to rent two adjacent shops.
Storefronts in the Shadow World are extremely valuable.
However, among these stores that cost a lot of money, there are also some quite mysterious shops, the most famous of which is undoubtedly a jar shop.
No matter what time it is, a large number of players will usually gather outside this store that only sells cans.
Although most of the things opened from the jars are inexplicable or waste products, there are also some players who have opened some high-value items.
Broken gems, rare career manuals, specialties from other worlds, rare pet eggs, original black silk stockings and fat... and so on.
And since someone was lucky enough to open a perfect item from a jar a few days ago, the number of players gathered in front of the jar store has doubled in the past few days.
"What are you thinking about?"
Putting a cup of tea in front of Bai Zhi, looking at Bai Zhi who lowered his head in front of him as if he was thinking about something, the jar merchant who had not changed much in appearance asked.
As a [traveling businessman], she has actually traveled through quite a few worlds. The worlds she has witnessed are all kinds of strange things, and the people she has met are also all kinds of weird.
Coupled with her own professional characteristics, she has a unique ability to see through people's hearts... or experience.
There are not many people that she can't see through at all, and the guy in front of her happens to be one of them.
"Oh, I was wondering about taxes."
Raising his head, Bai Zhi glanced at the other party.
"You make too much every day, and I feel unbalanced."
Jar Merchant: "..."
"...You have a whole world to collect rent, and that's not enough?"
After a moment of silence, the jar merchant spoke calmly.
"The development of your world is very good. There are so many players and big trade union organizations settling in. Just by selling land, you should be collecting money every day."
"You're overthinking it. I just opened a venue. Those things are all handled by the system. Do you think I can get a lot of money?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi seemed speechless.
"Not to mention the 30% to 70%, the 30% still depends on other people's opinions. In some cases, I even need to pay for it..."
To be honest, at the very beginning, when Bai Zhi opened the Shadow World to all players, he really imagined in his mind the life of a rich man who would be popular and drink spicy food.
But the cold fact poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Although it is true that he nominally owns the ownership of the Shadow World, the problem is that he needs to clarify something first.
—It is the shadow world that needs the real world, not the real world that needs the shadow world.
The Shadow World itself is completely dead and is now anchored in the real world. The opening of the Shadow World is not just a matter of words. For example, teleporting players into the Shadow World, these functions basically rely on the real world. That subsystem to complete.
…Will the system work in vain? Stop being funny.
If it weren't for the fact that the full opening of the Shadow World would bring considerable benefits to players in the real world, the system wouldn't have put in so much effort to help.
The Shadow World itself has to rely on the real world to survive, not to mention that the Shadow World can't produce anything here. It is basically impossible for Bai Zhi to make money through rent collection.
The money paid by the player guilds was actually handed over to the system. Bai Zhi had thought about sharing money from the system before, but after the system gave a long list of dozens of After receiving the meter-long bill, Bai Zhi decisively gave up this idea.
In the final analysis, the only shadow world that he could use as a bargaining chip was still insufficient and could not compare to the underworld.
The underworld and the real world complement each other, but the shadow world is different.
If there is no shadow world in the real world, we can still live very well. At worst, it will be the same as before. But if the shadow world does not have the real world, it will be completely ruined.
Precisely because of this, although the Shadow World has been open for some time, and he can make the rules of the Shadow World at will, Bai Zhi has not received a penny.
Otherwise, Bai Zhi would have already proudly given 1 million game coins to each of the school beauties as pocket money. Why would the school beauties be needed to help open a store to generate income...
Hmm... Actually, if Bai Zhi wanted to, he could still generate some income... such as those thousands of ghosts.
In the shadow world, in addition to those players, there are thousands of ghosts who were brought back by him. Some of them opened their own shops, and some of them applied for jobs in the player organizations as cleaners or Construction workers or something.
As long as Bai Zhi wants to, he can take all the wages and money earned by these ghosts during this period at any time. After all, he has absolute dominance over these ghosts, even if he Even if they were asked to commit suicide, they would have no choice but to comply.
But, Bai Zhi felt that he still had to have some moral integrity.
In the past, these scoundrels had already lived a very miserable and inhumane life. However, now that their lives have finally improved and made progress, they have to be ruthlessly oppressed and blackmailed again. That is too miserable.
And besides, the reason why the Shadow World has been able to develop rapidly during this period of time can be said to be that these demons have contributed a lot, and he cannot do anything to repay kindness with hatred.
