Chapter 1: Awakening
The dimly lit room was filled with a damp musty smell, and under the closed windows and doors was a somewhat ruined man, his eyes glazed over, his feet clenched, holding his breath, as if he were not there.
From time to time, the trampling sound of high-heeled shoes outside the door of the room, approaching step by step, and the echo of each step made the man in the room fluctuate in his heart.
"Knock, knock!" Polite knock on the door.
The man heard it clearly, but he didn't make the slightest movement, he didn't want to see the woman outside the door.
Suddenly, the woman kicked hard at the door. The man almost fell under the force of the impact, but he remained hidden and must not be spotted here.
"Ye Lan, I know you're inside, hurry up and open the door for the old lady, the security guard downstairs saw you coming up." The woman said angrily.
Downstairs security? How did he betray himself, Lao Tzu's Yellow Crane Tower was given in vain? Ye Lan had resentment in her heart, and she only blamed the wrong person for believing it.
"Don't hide inside and keep quiet, I know you're at home, you have the ability to rob ...... Phew, you have the ability to rent a house, why don't you have the ability to pay the rent? The woman outside the door shouted.
Zhou Mengdie is Ye Lan's landlord, and Ye Lan has been in arrears for three months.
"Smack!" Another kick on the door.
Now that it has been exposed, Ye Lan can only obediently comply, "Don't kick, don't kick, you don't feel that your feet hurt, this is still your door, I can't afford to kick it badly, I'll open the door for you." After all, it was a question of whether he would be neighbors with the "aborigines" under the flyover.
The door opened, and the light came in from the outside, and the mildew inside was dispelled a lot.
Outside the door is a girl in her early twenties, ten meters of high heels is only one meter six tall, although she is small, her career line is one level taller than most girls, her round face has no flaws, and she is a girl who looks very cute. It's just that the current expression doesn't match that cute face at all......
The milk is fierce and the milk is fierce, and the lethality is extremely strong.
Zhou Mengdie pinched her nose and fanned the musty smell in the room while checking whether there was anything suspicious in the room.
"Zhou Da Beauty, do you have something to do with me today? If you don't have anything to do, please go back, after all, it's not good for lonely men and widows to be in the same room! Ye Lan said with a face.
"What's the matter? Don't pretend to be confused with the old lady, when will the rent be paid? Zhou Mengdie asked angrily.
"Zhou Da beauty, don't be angry, if you have something to say, it's not that I don't pay it, isn't it a little tight recently!" As always, I hope to spend it safely like the previous times.
Zhou Mengdie looked at the lifeless but overly tidy room with a disgusted face, and opened the curtains in a hurry, only after the sunlight came in did she feel that the air could breathe normally, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't hand it over today, leave!" ”
It is impossible to leave, there is no money, at least not now, so he asked rhetorically, "I said Zhou Da Beauty, a person like you, do you send me this money?" ”
"Not bad, but ......"
Before she finished speaking, Ye Lan interjected: "You are the eldest lady of the Zhou family, you don't even worry about my rent, right?" It's not good for your reputation to spread the word. Besides, it's not that I don't pay it, and when I get a job, I'll definitely bring you interest. ”
Zhou Mengdie became angry when she heard this, "Ye Lan, what do you mean?" Is it reasonable for you to live in my room for nothing and not pay the rent? ”
"Don't be angry, you look at the wrinkles that come out of your anger, you say that you look so good-looking, can you afford to have a few more wrinkles for someone like me?" Women just can't help but praise, Ye Lan understands this very well.
"That's true, but you can't live in a house for nothing, right?" Zhou Mengdie hugged her arms and asked with a pout.
"Don't worry, it won't be in vain, if you don't mind, I can ......," he said, approaching as he straightened out his somewhat messy hairstyle, "...... Meat compensation! ”
"Get out!" Zhou Mengdie pushed him away.
Ye Lan is very handsome, but she is a little unkempt, and sometimes she always speaks in a weird way. Obviously the room is very clean, but the people are like that.
Ye Lan looked pity after hearing this, "Hey, you don't know how many girls pity my beauty, don't regret it in the future." ”
"Don't be narcissistic, you said you were looking for a job last month, how are you looking?" She asked, staring at the brand-new gaming helmet next to her bed.
Zhou Mengdie is not a hard-hearted person, although Ye Lan is not a good person, but there is no harm, the previous rent was paid on his own initiative, and he said that he lost his job three months ago. When people are always in difficulty, they can help nature, but Ye Lan said three months ago that she would look for a job, but now she still can't even pay the rent. The most infuriating thing is that there is still spare money to buy a game helmet.
Zhou Mengdie didn't want to embarrass him, but felt that he was not motivated and had to put some pressure on him.
"Interview...... Failed! Ye Lan shook her head and put on a look of pity, "It's a pity that they don't want a talent like me." ”
"Come on, since you don't have a job, come and help me work, and the rent will be deducted from your salary." Zhou Mengdie proposed.
"It's impossible to work part-time." Ye Lan whispered an underestimate.
But Zhou Mengdie still heard it, looked at the man who was not angry, and said a little angrily: "What did you say? I'll tell you, either pay the rent or work for me, or get out of here. ”
As soon as she heard that the anger was wrong, Ye Lan licked her face again, "You see that you see a lot, it is impossible to help others work, but it is incumbent on you to help Zhou Da Beauty, what kind of work?" Bodyguard or maid? ”
"Go ahead, don't be so vulgar, I'm going to start a game studio, you can help me get started." Zhou Mengdie pointed to the game helmet next to Ye Lan's bed and said.
At that time, Ye Lan, who was originally smiling, became serious.
"What's wrong? Don't you like to play games? You're not satisfied with my job? ”
"No, I...... Think about it. Ye Lan's voice was a little heavy, her eyes stared, and her memory flashed back to two years ago.
……
"Ye Lan, you are really good, eat inside and outside, is the guild giving you less? He betrayed us. In the office, the man in charge pointed at the indifferent Ye Lan in the corner and accused loudly.
"That's it, if you know someone like you, get out, don't think that you really think that you are the king of heaven with a little technology." Wang Lei, the vice president next to him, also said disdainfully.
"Look at it, this guy has a Sima face all day long, and he gets angry when he looks at it, get out, there is no room for a traitor like you here." The unanimous rejection of everyone in the office.
Ye Lan knew very well that this was a bureau, a bureau where everyone here joined forces to frame him.
"Proof?" His cold mouth was like a demon in the dark, and a powerful aura made everyone quiet.
After a while, Wang Lei stood up, "Ye Lan, who the fuck are you scaring about?" Do you really think you're a legendary mage? In the game you are the god of fire, but here you are a traitor, don't scare people with the game set. ”
The others also reacted from the powerful aura, and the man in charge said loudly, "You are really awesome in the game, but you have to follow our rules here." ”
"What do you want?" Ye Lan knew what they were thinking and didn't want to entangle with these people too much.
"You broke the rules, and the guild can't keep you." Said the steward.
"I'm quitting!" Icy chilling.
Hearing that he wanted an answer, the corner of Wang Lei's mouth showed a sinister smile, "This is what you said, but you have to think about it, you signed a three-year contract here, and there are still two years, how to calculate this liquidated damages?" ”
"I'll pay for it!" Ye Lan still replied coldly.
This is something they didn't expect, this amount of money is a lot, Ye Lan can't afford to lose it, he does make a lot of money, but he doesn't know where to spend the money, he will transfer 90% of his salary every month, everyone in the studio knows it, and losing money is not the result they want.
"Forget it, it's also a colleague who has worked together for a year, as long as you agree to a condition, you don't need to be accompanied by liquidated damages." Said the steward.
"Say?" Ye Lan asked.
"You still have two years left in the contract with the Dynasty, as long as you don't touch any games in the past two years and don't step into this circle again, this liquidated damages will be counted."
"Afraid that I will take revenge on you?" Ye Lan glanced at everyone, and before they could answer, he continued, "I accept it." After saying that, he walked out of the office without looking back.
This is the result they want, Ye Lan doesn't want to entangle too much, and he doesn't want to stay in this guild any longer, just satisfy them.
Watching Ye Lan leave, Wang Lei asked the steward, "Dong Li, is he cheaper like this?" Aren't you afraid that he will take revenge on us two years later? ”
"Don't worry, a person like him can only play games, and if he doesn't touch games for two years, I'm afraid he will become a waste."
The crowd listened, and unbridled ridicule rang out. It's ridiculous for a generation of Dharma gods to become a waste.
Ye Lan walked out of the office and once again glanced at the crowd, these people were the backbone of the guild, and the partners who had called him brothers and sisters in the past, but now they framed him for the sake of profit. He remembered the faces of these people, and two years was not a long time, nor was it short.
He'll definitely be back, with the Immortal Flame.
……
"It's been two years, time is really fast, 'old friends' of the dynasty, are you doing well?" Ye Lan muttered to herself in her heart.
Zhou Mengdie stared at Ye Lan, who was in a serious daze, "What do you mean?" Still want to think about it? I can tell you, I let you come to my studio because I saw you, don't pretend to be deep for the old lady here. ”
When Ye Lan heard this, she immediately turned into a person's face again, "Didn't I find myself to go down the stairs?" Otherwise, when others ask why you want to join your studio, it's really a shame that you don't have the money to pay rent. ”
"When is it, you still care about being embarrassed? It's nice that I didn't let you sleep on the street. I'll just say yes to you, and give me some work when the time comes. If you meet the standards, I will pay you not only the rent, but also your salary. ”
"You're a great good man." Ye Lan underestimated.
"What?" Zhou Mengdie's ears are spirits.
"It's nothing, I mean I'm going to work hard to develop our union into the number one union in the God's Domain."
God's Domain, a new game for Ye Lan's bedside game helmet.
"Come on, don't talk big, if you don't meet the work standards, I'll kick you out."
Ye Lan smiled awkwardly, he wasn't talking big, he was the legendary fire method in the Dynasty before, and he elevated the Dynasty to the status of the Second Guild.
"By the way, when the time comes, you will choose a mage, transfer to the fire method, and the main output position. I can tell you, don't drop the chain, fire law is my favorite position, I think my idol generation of legendary mages, fire cloud evil gods, one person to destroy a thousand people guild, handsome. I gave it to you because I had to cut my love, you have to cherish it. Zhou Mengdie said, her eyes revealing the adoring gaze of the little fan girl.
"Ahem." Ye Lan was suddenly choked.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Mengdie asked.
"It's okay, I'm a little cold."
Huoyun Evil God, this is Ye Lan's previous ID, I didn't expect the landlord to be her fan, if she knew that Ye Lan standing in front of her was a generation of Fire God Huoyun Evil God, I don't know what Zhou Mengdie's reaction was.
"It's a pity, the Huoyun Evil God disappeared suddenly and inexplicably two years ago," Zhou Mengdie said disappointedly.
"Well, I should get married and have a baby." Ye Lan replied.
"It's a pity, such a strong man, which girl is cheaper? Why can't it be me? ”
Hearing this, Ye Lan was also a little helpless, now fans want to give birth to monkeys for him?
Fortunately, the problem of rent has been solved, and now he only needs to develop in the Divine Domain with peace of mind, waiting for his revenge for two years.
"Then it's decided, from today on, you will be the old lady's person, and you will be obedient in the future." Zhou Mengdie looked at Ye Lan with a domineering female president smile, "By the way, there will be new tenants in the next room tomorrow, I will inform you by the way." “
"Got it." Ye Lan is also not curious, although there are many people, it will be troublesome, but after all, he eats white food, so he can't let the landlord have no money to make, right?
After seeing the charter wife leave, Ye Lan closed the door, his expression seemed to have taken off his disguised mask, and the dog-licking smirk had long since disappeared, leaving behind a face that was cold and chilling.
His gaze was on the helmet at the head of the bed, and slowly closed.
...... for a while
When he opened his eyes again, between his pupils, like two holy flames, they were blazing, and the legendary mage who had been sleeping for two years would wake up again......
