Chapter 7 Renovating the House

PS: Thanks to mm123 and Yanqi for the tip!

That night, Zhao Yan ushered in the first rainy day in another world, and it was a storm, the grass shed was crumbling in the wind, the rain penetrated through the fist-sized gap in the wall, and the ground was already soaked with water, even if it was covered with straw, it was difficult to sit on people, let alone sleep, so this night, people living in the grass shed could not sleep peacefully.

"No, we have to change places, otherwise we won't be able to sleep if last night's storm happens again."

The next morning, at the dining table, Zhao Yan said loudly to everyone.

Last night's storm came suddenly, but it didn't last long, it only lasted for an hour, even so, but the grass hut was almost blown away by the strong wind, and the ground was covered with water into streams, everyone had to stand and sleep, very embarrassed, so Zhao Yan would ask this question at the dinner table.

"Okay, it's time to change places, people like houses with baths."

"That's right, it's not a way to continue to live in a grass hut, after all, there are girls here, and Zhao Yan won't be able to release it."

"I don't care, as long as I have a place to live and food to fill my stomach."

Zhao Yan's words were agreed by the three daughters, which made Zhao Yan stunned, thinking that they would object.

"Huh? Would you agree, Horse Monkey Shochu, this is your home, and you are willing to abandon it? ”

Although there is a sentence above that makes Zhao Yan want to complain, but now that he is discussing the matter of changing the house, he pretends not to understand the words, although Zhao Yan does have this idea...... Hawkers, no way, otaku habits.

"Huh? This grass shed is a temporary place for people to find casually, the original purpose was to hide the Tanmei pictures and find a secret place, now the pictures have been taken away by you, this grass shed will lose its effect, by the way, when will the pictures be returned to others...... Zhao Yan? ”

Zhao Yan ignored the words of the horse monkey soju Xiaolian, and the matter of changing the house was decided in this way, and the next thing was the issue of rent.

"Then everybody will take out the money and see if they can raise enough rent for the rented house."

“……”

When the third girl heard this, she sat quietly at the table, without any movements or words, as if she had not heard.

"Hey, I said to raise money to rent a house together, I even took out the money I originally planned to buy armor and weapons, and you also took the savings, otherwise you won't be able to rent a house at all."

Seeing that they didn't react, Zhao Yan had a faint sense of ominousness, but he still decided to repeat the words again. The result was still the same, and the three girls did not speak or take out the money, which completely proved that Zhao Yan's conjecture was correct.

"Where's your money? I don't want your savings either, as long as you take out the money from yesterday's mission, it's enough to rent a nice house to live in. ”

The three girls looked at each other when they heard this, and then bowed their heads to each other, as if they were discussing.

"Then I suddenly remembered that I still live in a grass hut, the location here is wide enough, if you go to the center of the city to live, not only the rent is high, but also the space is narrow, it is still comfortable to live here."

"Xiaoli is right, people are reluctant to abandon the grass shed, let's live in the grass shed, the living feelings for many years are not so easy to separate."

"That...... That's right, I love sleeping here too. ”

This time, the three women changed their words at the same time, and they were willing to continue to live in this dilapidated grass hut, and their thoughts were self-evident, nothing more than to save rent to buy their favorite items and food.

"Horse Monkey Shochu, I remember that you have only been in this city of Ahedam for less than three months, how can you have lived in this grass hut for more than a few years. Lisa, you said that you can live anywhere as long as you have food, why do you suddenly like this grass hut again? As for your Huangfu Xueli, isn't it true that the narrower the place, the more you feel, and you can fantasize about being robbed and bullied at any time, and there is no one here for hundreds of miles, and it is impossible for a thief to come all the way to rob the grass shed. ”

Horse Monkey Shochu and Lisa were exposed to the lie, both blushing and showing shy expressions, unable to refute, and Huangfu Xueli heard this, showing an expression of interest, but it quickly disappeared, obviously money is more important.

"Alas...... Is it more important for you to buy that kind of thing with your money than to live? Zhao Yan decided to use the method of moving with emotion and reason to persuade them.

"Of course it's important, this "Zhao Yan's Love" is good-looking, I'm already a big fan of Wind Chimes, even if I spend all my money to live in a dilapidated and seeping grass hut, it doesn't matter."

"That's right, people are also fans of wind chimes...... By the way, Xiaoli, what does this fan mean? ”

"This fan is the nickname of the crowd who are fanatical about the big works of wind chimes."

"Oh, I see, people are fans of wind chimes too."

Zhao Yan heard the conversation between Huangfu Xueli and Horse Monkey Shochu Xiaolian, and was completely disappointed with the two rotten girls, and decided not to pay attention to them, and turned his head to look at Lisa...... Well, this person can't convince her, she must have used the money to buy food, and in the end, Zhao Yan is the only one who is willing to pay for rent.

Zhao Yan has learned that the house price in the city is generally between twenty or thirty silver coins for a single room, and renting a five-person room that can accommodate a team of people will cost at least one gold coin or more, and now Zhao Yan has fifty silver coins on him, which is half the price of the cheapest five-person room.

…… Well, I can only go out and rent a house by myself.

After deciding, Zhao Yan got up to pack his belongings and prepared to go out to rent a house in the city center. It's just that Zhao Yan just got up and was questioned by the third girl.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the city to find a house and prepare to move."

Zhao Yan said this calmly with an expressionless face, and then was immediately stopped by the three of them.

"No, you can't go, if you leave, there will be no fantasy heroine...... Zhao Yan? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan was even more determined to move out.

"That...... If you're gone, no one cooks food for me, don't leave me. ”

Lisa's words made Zhao Yan feel the hard work of the servant, and sure enough, he still had to leave.

"Didn't you say that we are fellow villagers and should share weal and woe, and you are gone, can you still share weal and woe?"

Huangfu Xueli took out the lines that Zhao Yan had said, so that Zhao Yan couldn't refute it. After pondering for a moment, he said dejectedly.

"Well, rebuild this grass shed, at least it must be strong and windproof and waterproof."

The third daughter was very happy to hear that Zhao Yan had decided to stay here, and naturally agreed to his request. However, I thought that if I wanted to renovate the house, I needed basic building materials, but it was impossible for the three girls to pay or they had no money, and Zhao Yan's fifty silver coins were definitely not enough to buy materials, how could it be good?

"I know of a place where there is a kind of wood that can be used as a material to renovate a house." The smoke flag that suddenly appeared and spoke really startled Zhao Yan, this guy even used the [Concealment] skill in the town, and sure enough, the assassin's profession was very suitable for him.

When Zhao Yan heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Then without further ado, our task today is to go to get this kind of wood, and go to the guild to get the crusade task by the way, why not kill two birds with one stone." ”

Everyone had no opinion on Zhao Yan's proposal, so the team sorted out their clothes and began to start a new day of adventure, but before that, the first thing to do was to buy equipment, so far Zhao Yan was still dressed in civilian clothes, and it was still necessary to prepare armor and weapons for his own safety.

Coming to the equipment shop, Zhao Yan looked at the dazzling array of armor and weapons, and became hesitant, in addition to not having enough money to buy exquisite equipment, the uncertainty of the profession was also the reason for the hesitation to choose equipment.

Zhao Yan's general practitioner is a profession that can use all professional abilities, so there are many ways to choose equipment, and now Zhao Yan's abilities are [Flame Technique], [Healing], [Armor], [Concealment], [Theft] and [Heroic Strike], these skills are all the abilities of teammates, especially the final [Heroic Strike], which is an exclusive skill for the brave, which costs 2 skill points, which is higher than other skill requirements, but thinking that this is a brave skill, the price is high, After all, this skill Zhao Yan has seen Huangfu Xueli perform, and he describes it in two words: Cow. Force!

However, because the skills were too miscellaneous, Zhao Yan couldn't choose the right equipment, and finally decided to choose the elimination method.

First of all, the magician's equipment is eliminated, because the team already has a horse monkey shochu Xiaolian, and there is no need for a crappy mage at all, not to mention that the magic that Zhao Yan learned only has the ability to light a fire for warmth, and has no attack power at all, so the mage's equipment is eliminated first.

The next thing to be eliminated is the priest, although the general staff can learn the skills of other professions, but there is a drawback, that is, the skills can only be used by themselves, and cannot be used on teammates, that is, the healing and auxiliary skills that Zhao Yan learned can only be used on himself, not on others, so it is impossible to be a priest.

Therefore, the equipment that can be chosen is the melee system, and the only difference is to choose the thief's light armor armor or the brave's plate armor. In the end, after Zhao Yan weighed the disadvantages of the two, he wisely chose light armor, because Zhao Yan's physical strength could not wear plate armor to fight, so he chose light armor.

The last is the weapon, this time Zhao Yan decisively chose the short sword, a weapon that can be attacked and defended, compared to the dagger and the long sword, Zhao Yan still feels that the short sword is more suitable for himself.

In this way, Zhao Yan spent all the fifty silver coins and bought a piece of armor, a legging guard and a short sword, of course, every penny is worth it, all of which are ordinary quality equipment, not as luxurious as the other members of the team.

After the equipment is purchased, the next step is to go to the mercenary guild to receive the quest, and then collect wood to transform the grass hut.

When they came to the Mercenary Guild, Zhao Yan and his party had long been accustomed to being treated in the limelight, ignored them, and went straight to the task announcement column and began to select tasks.

"This big black shark has a good task, the commission is 100 gold, and each person can get 20 gold, then you can pay off this month's debt."

Horse Monkey Shochu Xiaolian said to herself, which made Zhao Yan next to him startled, this guy actually repaid the loan, if she couldn't repay the debt on time, but there were very severe consequences, didn't this person know?

"Xiaolian, the commission for this crusade against the giant mammoth is higher, there are 500 gold, an average of 100 gold per person, not only to repay the debt, but also to have a surplus, so that you can buy back the pictures that were burned and lost before."

At this time, Huangfu Xueli's words also sounded, letting Zhao Yan know that not only the horse monkey soju had taken out a loan, but even this Shake M brave man had also taken out a loan, and sure enough, it was like gathering people in groups, these two guys were really hopeless!

"The main purpose of our trip is for timber, the crusade mission is just by the way, do you know where the timber is, it is in the mountains and forests, what kind of big black shark is in the sea, and the giant mammoth is on the top of the distant mountain, which is different from the purpose of this trip, please can you two choose well."

Zhao Yan taught the two girls a lesson, and suddenly found a commissioned task, "Looking for the son who disappeared in the mountains and forests", it was obviously a missing person commission, although the remuneration was not much, only three golds, but Zhao Yan still received it, who made him the protagonist, helping others is the behavior that the protagonist should be.

In this way, Zhao Yan's team received the task and marched towards the mountains and forests again.
