Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Main Line and Reality

Since the system prompts that the clues of the Dark Moon God Cult are urgent, let's go and report to the mayor first.

When Bai Lidu came to the mayor and chose to submit the clue, he received a system prompt:

- System Prompt: You have reported a clue about the Cult of the Dark Moon to the Mayor of the Town, you have activated the game's main quest [Dark Moon Revolt], you are the 28th player to activate the main quest, and you have gained 100 reputation points in Xuanshui Town.

- System Prompt: Increases your friendship with the Mayor by 10

"Brave young man, the clues you reported are very important, all kinds of signs indicate that the recently disappeared residents are related to this Dark Moon God Cult, and through the form of the Dark Summoning Array you described, I suspect that the four evils that appeared in the sewers of the town are also evil creatures summoned by the Dark Moon God Cult."

"I hope you can enter the sewers and find a possible dark summoning array to confirm my suspicions."

- Quest Hint: You have activated the main quest sub-quest 1: Exploring the Sewers

[Main Branch Quest 1: Exploring the Sewers] (Normal Mission): According to the mayor's request, please enter the sewers in the town and find evidence of the existence of the Dark Summoning Array, the task reward: 1000 experience points, 10 silver coins.

I'm actually the 28th player to activate the main quest.,Bai Lidu immediately checked the leaderboard.,But I didn't find my name on the leaderboard.,According to my current level of 14,,It should be able to rank around 20th.,It seems that this thief waist card is working.,Not only hide your character name.,Even the leaderboard refused.,It's really thorough! And the first place is still Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Bai Lidu heard Xiaohua say that Brother Zhang was coming over, so he also wanted to take a break, so after walking out of the mayor's office compound, he saw that the damaged teleportation array was still very deserted, so he took Lao Niu to stay there with the game characters.

This time, it was completely tied to death by the old cow who came back from the house, and Bai Lidu couldn't quit the game even if he rested, but continued to wear a game helmet on his head, and then put away the eyepieces.

After putting on his glasses again, Bai Lidu found that Brother Zhang didn't know when he had come to the grocery store, and when he saw that the time was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the new insulated lunch box on the table, it should be that Xiaohua didn't go back at noon, and Brother Zhang came to deliver the meal in person.

"Uncle Zhang, you're here!"

"Well, why are you still wearing a helmet? Let's eat first, it should still be hot," Zhang Xuecheng said.

"That's right, I summoned an old cow, and if I took off my helmet, I would let it go, but it's fine, I can eat it with my helmet."

Bai Lidu felt that Brother Zhang's mood was a little low, and asked while opening the lunch box:

"What's the matter, Uncle Zhang, did something happen?"

"Alas! In the afternoon, the son of the landlord suddenly called and said that he wanted to increase the rent, and if he didn't agree to the rent increase, he would ask us to move out immediately tomorrow! Zhang Xuecheng's tone revealed anxiety.

"Oh? How much has the rent gone up? Bai Lidu vaguely felt that this was not normal.

"The current rent is already 9,000 yuan per month, and I can barely earn a living expenses every month, but this time the landlord directly raised the rent to 16,000 yuan per month, clearly intending to drive us away" Zhang Xuecheng was anxious and a little angry.

"Ahh So what do we do? Xiaohua hurriedly asked after hearing this.

"Our lease shouldn't have expired yet, so this sudden rent increase should be considered a breach of contract, right?" Bai Lidu asked.

"Yes, it was originally a year before it expired, and the landlord who signed the lease with us, Lao Gu, took his wife to Thailand last year to live for a long time, and now it is his son who stays to collect the rent, so he doesn't take the rental agreement signed before seriously at all."

"How can this be, you should sue him!" Xiaohua said angrily on the side.

"I also argued with him on the phone for a long time, so I came late, and finally the other party gave in, saying that if we feel that the new lease is unaffordable and are willing to move out tomorrow, then in addition to returning our original two-month deposit, we can also make up for one month's rent as a moving loss."

"There must be someone behind this, otherwise there would not be a rent increase for no reason, and such a large increase," Bai Lidu analyzed.

"Even if you know that someone is making trouble, there is no way to do it now, if you agree to increase the rent, it must be a loss-making operation, so it is better not to open this store......

The scene suddenly fell into silence, Bai Lidu also lowered his head to eat, but his heart was sorting out the clues of these things, it was troublesome enough for him to be wanted in the game, but he didn't expect the trouble of reality to follow.

"Ding...... Ding......"

Two crisp prompts broke the silence of the scene, and Zhang Xuecheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone to check:

"Alas, I just received a notice that the game helmet subscription failed, and I can't subscribe again until a month later," Zhang Xuecheng said after reading the information.

"Which helmet are you applying for?" Bai Lidu asked.

"Lite version,I'm going to use a lite version at my age.,There's no need to use it's too expensive.,Now it seems that there are too many people who subscribe to this lite version.,So it didn't work.,Alas!" Zhang Xuecheng was hit again and again, and his expression was very lost.

Bai Lidu didn't know how to comfort Zhang Xuecheng, but he still glanced at Zhang Xiaohua next to him, and it stands to reason that Xiaohua's subscription should also have results.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaohua was staring at her mobile phone screen at the moment, and suddenly shouted happily:

"Dad, I made it! I did it! ”

"Silly boy, what have you succeeded?" Zhang Xuecheng looked puzzled, but also revealed his father's love.

"The helmet I subscribed for was successful, and I just received a notification message saying that delivery is being arranged and it is expected to arrive tomorrow, telling me to pay attention to the follow-up logistics information." Zhang Xiaohua's face was full of excitement.

"Great! …… However, how did you have the money to subscribe for Xiaohua? ”

"It was transferred to me by Brother Adu, Brother Adu was afraid that Dad, you wouldn't be able to subscribe, so he asked me to help you subscribe together."

"Ahem...... Uncle Zhang, that's the case, I played a few copies in the game last night, and I had some income, because I had bound the helmet myself, so the system didn't let me subscribe online, so I asked Xiaohua to help buy one more helmet, just in case, anyway, this helmet is also in demand, even if the subscription is successful, I'm not afraid. Bai Lidu explained on the side.

"Can you earn 4,000 yuan after a few dungeons? Amazing! This game is really so profitable?! Zhang Xuecheng thought that Xiaohua was also subscribing for a simplified version of the helmet.

"Dad, it's not 4000, it's 7000, Brother Adu transferred 7000 yuan to me, and I subscribed for the standard version of the helmet!" Zhang Xiaohua was still very excited on the side.

"Ahh So much!! How is it possible to make so much money in one night? Zhang Xuecheng still couldn't believe it.

If Bai Lidu told Zhang Xuecheng, in fact, he had earned a total of 25,800 yuan so far, it is estimated that Zhang Xuecheng would be suspected of bragging.

"Uncle Zhang, since the helmet has been landed, it seems that God has made a choice for us, this store will simply move out tomorrow, in addition to recovering the deposit, you can also get an extra month of rent compensation, we will not suffer! You can find a new store and grow in the game at the same time, and if it goes well, the store won't even open," says Bai Lidu.

"But we can't move a room full of goods in one day! Unless we can sell as many existing goods as possible on this day, then it will not only be easy to move, but our losses will also be minimized," Zhang Xuecheng analyzed.

"If you want to sell a lot of goods in a short period of time, you can only reduce the price and carry out promotions, but today is only the second day of the Lunar New Year, many people are resting at home, and there are too few people who come out to shop, I am afraid that even if the price is reduced, the effect is not good......" Bai Lidu was also a little anxious in his heart.

The three fell silent again......
