Chapter 103: This Is What You Say Is the Good Place?
Looking for a house......
Zhou Hao and Xiao Ruo took Ying'er to a nearby residential building, found the local landlord and asked about the price of renting a house, but the result was that Zhou Hao's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he was secretly speechless!
A first-order hedron can only be rented here for ten days!
"The price...... It's really scary! Zhou Hao was secretly frightened, no wonder he saw so many wandering people at the city gate!
At this price, if it weren't for the fact that he was a second-order evolutionary and still had some small money in his hand, otherwise even an ordinary first-order evolutionary might not be able to withstand such blood-sucking exploitation!
Not to mention ordinary people who don't have the strength to protect themselves? In contrast, I am afraid that I can only go and set up a tent and live at the city gate!
Xiao Ruo couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing this price. The price is clearly to let her go out and set up a tent!
And the landlord who is now bargaining with him in front of his eyes is a second-order evolutionary! That look of "I can't afford to live with you as a poor ghost" made Xiao Ruo almost couldn't help but instigate Zhou Hao to beat him.
However, this so-called landlord is really just managing the houses on his behalf. All the houses here are owned by the leader of Los Angeles, and even beating him up won't help.
In the end, after Zhou Hao paid for two cigarettes, the second-order evolutionary landlord reluctantly agreed to let them stay for a day temporarily, and they had to move out by this time tomorrow.
"What a gathering place for black hearts!" This is a conclusion that Xiao Ruo made to Los Angeles immediately after the landlord left.
"Alright, stop complaining." Zhou Hao cleaned up the somewhat messy house, and Ying'er also came over to help very well-behaved, but Xiao Ruo sat on the chair like an uncle, comfortably watching the two clean up.
The house was very basic, without a lot of furniture, two bedrooms and one living room, but it was much better than the people in the tents.
After cleaning the house briefly, after sitting down, Zhou Hao took out something from his pocket and threw it to Xiao Ruo, "Then!" ”
"Huh? …… What the? Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, and quickly grabbed it, but when he looked closely, his eyes were abrupt, and a look of surprise appeared, "This is a second-order spar?" What do you do for me? ”
"It's for you to improve your strength." Zhou Hao replied lightly, "Didn't you notice it when you walked on the road just now?" Anyone who walked by on the road was a first-order evolutionary, and even I felt the aura of a second-order evolutionary. With your current strength, when someone robs you, you won't be able to fight back. You'd better hurry up and improve your strength! ”
"......" Xiao Ruo's voice suddenly froze, and he realized that he couldn't say anything about him, and he had also taken such a big benefit from others, so he was dumbfounded, lowered his head and was silent.
In her heart, she suddenly felt for the first time that her strength was lagging behind...... The stealing technique has not grown, and even today's strength is far from enough!
A touch of crimson appeared on her face, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and said solemnly: "Zhou Hao, don't worry, my little man and big husband will never owe favors!" I will definitely return it to you twice as much in the future! ”
"It was better to do so." Zhou Hao's eyes were a little weird, his lips moved, and he finally said such a sentence.
A manly man?
Next, soon Liu Yao'er also came back smoothly. It's just that when he entered the door, Zhou Hao noticed that her face was a little weird, as if she was worried about something. But when I asked her, she just shook her head and replied, "Nothing."
Since she didn't say it, Zhou Hao would not force her to say it, and instead discussed the issue of this house with her.
This house is so expensive, how could Zhou Hao be willing to live here! However, in this case, the question of where to live next is a problem.
It was only when she knew that Zhou Hao was worried about this problem that a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Liu Yao'er's beautiful eyes, and she hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "I have a suggestion for this......"
"What advice?" Zhou Hao immediately asked curiously.
"In the Los Angeles Settlement, all the land is owned by the leader, and it must be expensive to rent it!" Liu Yao'er sorted out her thoughts and said slowly, "But there is one exception! That's the mercenary group! ”
"Mercenary group?" Zhou Hao and Xiao Ruo were both a little puzzled. I can't figure out why this has something to do with the house.
"In the mercenary group, as long as you can complete a B-level task every month, you can own a piece of land for a long time, and what you need in terms of gathering places is to take a certain percentage of the commission from the task." Liu Yao'er explained.
"What do you mean......" Zhou Hao was a little stunned, but still a little puzzled, "We're going to join a mercenary group?" ”
He also learned something about the mercenary group, and to create a mercenary group, he had to live in Los Angeles for more than a year, and they naturally did not meet this condition.
Then that's the only way to go!
"Yes!" Liu Yao'er nodded affirmatively.
"But if you want to join a mercenary group, the other party will inevitably ......review your own identity, which will increase the danger of Liu Yao'er's identity being exposed!"
"If you don't mind, I have a good place to go......" Liu Yao'er nodded slightly, the corners of her rosy lips slightly hooked, and she smiled as if she had reached a conspiracy.
**********
Next.
"Liu Yao'er, this is what you call a good place?" Xiao Ruo looked at the slightly dilapidated room in front of him with some suspicion.
In the morning, Liu Yao'er took a few people to walk a lot of trails in the city, and it took a long time to reach the destination. It's just that at this moment, even Zhou Hao can't help but be a little suspicious of Liu Yao'er's vision.
The three-story house in front of him is the most common cement house, which looks quite sturdy, but just seeing the fallen mud powder on it, Zhou Hao can't help but wonder if this house has not been repaired for a long time. Moreover, the big iron door was already rusty, and it was obviously some years old.
Looking at this exterior decoration, Zhou Hao even began to wonder if there were still people living inside.
"Hmm." Liu Yao'er reluctantly hung a smile, "To tell you the truth, this mercenary group was created by my father's good friend. Two years ago, he took good care of me and treated me like his own daughter. But since that incident two years ago, I haven't had the chance to see him again. Now that he has returned to visit, he learns that he was seriously injured in a previous S-class mission. ”
Liu Yao'er's voice paused, and she sighed as if she was a little sad, "Originally, my uncle was a third-order evolutionary with extremely strong strength, and the entire mercenary group did not say that it had reached the status of the Flame Mercenary Group today, but it was definitely the same. It's a pity that since my uncle was injured, it has plummeted, and the members of the group have also gone in twos and threes, and now only my uncle's son and a few loyal members are still struggling to support ......"
"Third-Order Evolutionary ......" Hearing this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart. A third-order evolutionary should have a bright future, and he should also have a very high status in this Los Angeles City. But it was by accident that it became what it is now.
"Although their strength is not good, at least the name of this mercenary group is still there, so it is no problem for us to stay for a while." Liu Yao'er continued, and after finishing speaking, she smiled slightly.
"Is that so?" Zhou Hao always felt that Liu Yao'er didn't seem to finish speaking, but since he had found a suitable residence, he might as well go in and take a look.
Liu Yao'er knocked on the door first, and soon, with a piercing "squeak", the iron door was opened from the inside.
"I've said it all...... Hey! Walking out of the door was a young man in his twenties at most, who opened the door and walked out with an indignant face, but when he saw Liu Yao'er's face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then a touch of surprise appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Sister Yao! What are you doing here? Yesterday ......"
"Wait! Don't make a noise! Liu Yao'er immediately shook her head and said in a low voice, "My current identity is inconvenient, just call me Liu Yun." ”
"Uh...... Good! Sister Yun! The man was stunned for a moment, but he obviously understood what had happened before, and immediately nodded solemnly.
"Didn't I say yesterday that I would find a way to help you solve the problem? Now here comes the problem-solver! Liu Yao'er smiled lightly, and pointed back in Zhou Hao's direction.
"Them?" The man looked in the direction he was pointing, and when he saw Zhou Hao and Xiao Ruo, he asked suspiciously.
However, Zhou Hao, who had a keen sense, was faintly aware of the hint of hostility in his eyes.
That's the kind of look you look at your rivals......
"Let's go in first." Liu Yao'er didn't give the other party time to ask more, turned around and said, "Uncle Huang's condition seems to have deteriorated a little yesterday, how is it now?" ”
Speaking of this, the man didn't bother to stare at Zhou Hao and the others cautiously, but turned his head and said excitedly: "It's much better!" Thank you Sister Yun for your treatment! Thanks to your Light Healing Technique, my dad's physical condition has improved a lot! ”
"It's not enough," Liu Yao'er shook her head lightly as she walked into the room, "My ability is not enough. After all, my uncle's injury is the injury of a third-order evolutionary, and the most I can do as a second-order evolutionary is to alleviate it. Moreover, from my observation yesterday, if there is no timely and appropriate treatment, I am afraid that Uncle Huang's illness will become more and more serious......"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable......"
"......" The man was obviously aware of this, and smiled silently for a long time, "I already know." But now those former competitors wish my dad would die sooner, where will the doctors treat him? It's thanks to my dad's strength that I've been able to survive until now......"
