Chapter 7 New Hires
I don't know how often I get a task. Fatal accidents are not as ubiquitous as cabbage, not to mention that Shiraishi heard that the security of the island country seems to be good.
He looked at the lively and peaceful scene around him, and didn't know whether to regret it or not.
After receiving 50,000 yen and preparing to not open for a month and eat for a month, Shiraishi looked down at the last item: random items [click to draw].
The four words in parentheses have a slightly convex visual effect of the light screen, which makes people want to poke down when they look at it.
But Shiraishi held back.
Money can sneak up in his pocket, but props don't have to. In case after pressing it, a bunch of strange things crackled and fell from the sky and were seen by the people around him, then he couldn't tell if he had 10,000 mouths.
Taking a long breath, Shiraishi pressed [click to navigate] instead. Soon, the light screen refreshed to the GPS navigation interface, and in the center of the screen, under the feet of the stickman with the word "white stone" above his head, there was a road that was rendered blue, extending into the distance.
The end point is almost three kilometers away, which is not too far.
Shiraishi exercised and walked around, thinking about it, and I didn't know what kind of house the system would issue.
He has signed a contract, so he should be regarded as an employee in the system, and the treatment should not be too bad.
Will it be a wooden house with a stove?
Covered with Japanese-style tatami mats?
And a small garden with 100-year-old cherry blossom trees? How many gardener maids to help with the yard?
…… The more I think about it, the more I look forward to it.
The pace of Shiraishi gradually picks up. Half an hour later, he finally arrived at his destination.
Then he looked up at his new home and slowly spit out a question mark: "? ”
What is displayed in front of Shiraishi is an ordinary three-story building.
On the first floor is a restaurant with the words "ポアロ" and "coffee" posted on the clean windows, probably a café called ポアロ.
The windows on the second floor are large and look like shops, and the third floor is an ordinary house.
The system didn't give him the whole building, but only the shops on the first floor.
Of course, Shiraishi doesn't have an opinion on the size of the site.
What he cares about is......
Why is there such a big "Maori Detective Agency" on the second floor!!
Baishi is not a house, and he is not a big man who has read countless times. But in his generation, even if you haven't read the whole work, you must have heard of this well-known comic that has been serialized for more than 20 years and has beaten countless large lengths.
Thinking back on the setting of this long manga, Shiraishi Khan came down. I knew that he would have such a day, and when my cousin pulled him to 'review the classics' a few weeks ago, I should have honestly followed her to read the whole episode!
This anime, Shiraishi only watched it seriously when he was a child.
And he is a person, even the professional course knowledge that he just memorized ten minutes before the exam can be forgotten in the moment he opens the test paper, not to mention the anime plot he watched more than ten years ago.
…… At most, I still remember some characters and world views.
Now that I think about it, he was able to successfully connect with Hitomi Hirokawa's murderous brain circuit before, probably because he had seen this kind of plot and subconsciously left an impression on it.
To put it simply, forget the content, but remember the corresponding logical loop. Therefore, when you see key items and key scenes, you will automatically straighten out cause and effect, as if "one point is clear".
Well, now that we've analyzed the background, it's time to face reality.
- So this is not the "history of struggle for the rebirth of the island nation" that he thought before, but the world of Conan, who dies every day??
Shiraishi is slightly sluggish.
The good news is that in this world, there will be no shortage of murders. His previous fear of not receiving the task was completely superfluous.
The bad news is......
A group of Grim Reapers, stepping on top of my head every day, I'm afraid that if I turn around, even I will be killed by the protagonist.
The white stone was all bigger, and he tugged at his thick hair, trying to calm down.
What about worrying?
That's a good saying, it's all coming......
He looked at the second floor again, where the curtains were drawn to block out the sun, and the interior could not be seen clearly from the perspective of Shiraishi.
He stared at the words on the glass for a moment with mixed feelings, withdrew his gaze, walked to the café, and tentatively pushed the door.
The door was unlocked and opened with a push. When you walk into the store, you will see that there are dining tables and chairs neatly displayed in the hall, and behind the counter, kitchenware and tableware are also readily available.
But there was no one in the house. Not only the customers, but not even a single clerk, it looks like the store is closed.
Shiraishi walked around the shop with a few clear windows, and finally he went around the counter, and on the left wall, he found a small inconspicuous door with a key stuck in the lock.
After twisting the key, unlocking and walking in, Shiraishi unsurprisingly saw that there was a house behind the store.
This house is nearly 60 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room, with a separate toilet and bathroom, and a small kitchen, which can be swept at a glance, and the furniture such as coffee table, sofa and cabinet is basically complete.
The study and bedroom were covered with tatami mats, while the rest of the room was made of wooden floors, and Shiraishi closed the door with his hand, smelling the faint smell of detergent in the room.
Stepping into the entrance, picking up the notice paper of "pest removal completed" on the ground, and casually resting it on the shoe cabinet on the side, Shiraishi looked at the house and felt a lot more sure.
As a Chinese citizen, you really still have to have a piece of your own territory to feel at ease...... Although the land is rented, rounding it up, he is also a man with a house.
Shiraishi exhaled comfortably and walked to the kitchen, wanting to pour a glass of water to suppress the shock, but when he opened the cabinet, he found that there were no teacups or bowls inside.
Shiraishi didn't say anything polite to himself, turned around and went to the store to get a mug, poured water a few times, returned to the room, and walked to the sofa with it.
After slumping comfortably on the sofa for a while, Shiraishi straightened up and looked at the two document bags neatly placed on the coffee table.
The bag was made of brown kraft paper, not thick or thin to the touch, and Shiraishi opened the top one first, reached out, and took out two documents from it.
One is a shop lease contract with a time limit of one year, and Shiraishi read it roughly, put it aside, and opened the next one.
It's a short-term contract, also signed for one year, and the content is generally fine, but the salary is ......
"For every 30 days of actual work, do you have to pay 1 'crystal'? What is this again? Shiraishi subconsciously checked the backpack, but the bag was empty, without any novice props.
He paused, then turned to the currency interface.
This time, I did see that there was a column that said "crystal", but the number marked after it was 0. Shiraishi stared at it for a moment, then poked it a few more times, but didn't give any explanation.
Are there any features that haven't been unlocked yet?
Shiraishi tried to call out for help twice, but there was no reply, and no Q version of the villain poked his head out from behind the screen. He gave up - he would know sooner or later, it wouldn't be like that for a while.
Even if he thinks about it, even if he doesn't know, there's nothing wrong with it - he can completely leave no employees, lock the door of the store and treat it as a simple suite, and the task will reward currency anyway, and he won't starve to death.
Quickly solved the problem with salted fish-like thinking, and Shiraishi was satisfied with the materials and put them back in the bag.
At this time, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the corner of the employee contract, and at the signature of Party B, there were three neat and beautiful words: Butterfly Ninja.
Shiraishi thought back to the characters in the world of Conan, and he didn't remember that there was this person in the main story, and he touched his chin and thought, a rare name, it looks like a ninja...... Anyway, the system shouldn't really send a ninja to help.
