Chapter 44: Borrowing Money
"Keep your voice quiet. Xiao Xue'er said angrily.
"Yes, yes, I was so surprised. Shu Xiaoxiu hurriedly said.
The Mutant Beast Tide, which had only appeared in the Brick Family's Beast Theory before, actually came! And it came earlier than everyone expected.
"How's the situation now?" asked Shu Xiaoxiu hurriedly.
"Our Yanhuang Empire, this mutant beast tide has only occurred in three places, two of which were discovered early, and there are garrisons around, so the loss is not big. Xiao Xue'er said in a deep voice.
"As for the third place, Jinmu City, which is subordinate to Tianqin City, is too close to the place where the mutant beast tide gathers, and before even waiting for rescue, it was broken through the city's defenses by the mutant beast tide, with a population of more than 100,000 people, and more than half of them were killed or injured. ”
"So serious?" Shu Xiaoxiu said in surprise, "Wouldn't that cause panic among ordinary people?"
"The news is still under lockdown, I only got the news through my dad, don't tell anyone else. Xiao Xue'er admonished.
"I understand. Shu Xiaoxiu nodded.
"Shu Xiaoxiu, if you can, you'd better take your parents to Tianquan City. After all, as a provincial city, in terms of security, it is much stronger than Philadelphia. Xiao Xueer reminded. "I'm afraid that after a while, the housing prices in the provincial capital will increase significantly, and if you have crystal coins now, you can buy a house in advance. ”
"This, well, thank you. Shu Xiaoxiu nodded.
"If you need my help with anything, you can find me, after all, our family is in the provincial capital, and there are still some connections. ”
Looking at Xiao Xue'er's departing figure, Shu Xiaoxiu frowned.
The house price in Tianquan City is not cheap, even if he doesn't have a special understanding, but I'm afraid it will take at least 10,000 white crystal coins to square up, which is still the current price.
If the news of the mutant beast tide spreads, especially the matter of Jinmu City, the price may directly double, or even several times.
And if you want to pick up your parents, it takes at least two months to go back and forth.
Thinking of this, Shu Xiaoxiu looked at his storage ring, and really wanted to return the staff he had just bought.
The white crystals on his body are less than fifty, and even if he buys a house in Tianquan City now, it is more than half.
What to do?
Shu Xiaoxiu walked around his room, and the first method that came to mind was to ask Xiao Xue'er to borrow it.
With Xiao Xueer's net worth, it is estimated that she can borrow a hundred white crystals, and she can still easily take them out.
However, as soon as this method appeared in his mind, he was vetoed by Shu Xiaoxiu. Unless it is a last resort, Shu Xiaoxiu really can't open this mouth.
After thinking about it for a long time, Shu Xiaoxiu felt that the most reliable way was to advance a month's salary in the Radiance of God.
With the character that Master Jeff usually shows, he should not refuse to advance a little salary in advance.
Looking at the sky, Shu Xiaoxiu sighed, at this time, the store should have been closed, let's talk about it tomorrow.
Throwing the messy thoughts in his heart out of his mind, Shu Xiaoxiu began to cultivate.
The emergence of the mutant beast tide heralds the end of the era of human peace, and in the future, I am afraid that more and more mutant beast tides will appear.
If you don't have the strength, I'm afraid you will become food for mutant beasts like the people in Jinmu City.
Early the next morning, Shu Xiaoxiu came to the Radiance of God.
"Shu Xiaoxiu, why did you come so early today?" Emily looked at Shu Xiaoxiu in surprise.
"Uh, is Master Jeff here?" A trace of embarrassment flashed in Shu Xiaoxiu's heart, but he didn't tell Emily.
Borrowing money from a beautiful woman is really an unspeakable thing.
"My grandpa, here, in the backyard. ”
"Oh, you're busy. When Shu Xiaoxiu heard this, he walked towards the backyard.
"Shu Xiaoxiu, how can you have time today?"
Seeing the minor repair, Master Jeff asked with a smile.
"Master Jeff, I want to advance a month's salary, is it okay?" said Shu Xiaoxiu directly.
Growing so big, although there is no money for minor repairs, there is no time to borrow money from others. For openings, I really have no experience in minor repairs.
"How much would you like to advance?" asked Master Jeff with a smile.
"Two hundred white crystals are best, and one hundred white crystals are fine. Shu Xiaoxiu thought for a moment and said.
"Two hundred, then. Master Jeff nodded, and with a flick of his hand, a bag appeared.
"If it's not enough, you can talk to me. Master Jeff said with a smile after handing the bag to Shu Xiaoxiu.
"Thank you, Master Jeff, that's enough. Shu Xiaoxiu said gratefully, "You're busy, I'm coming over in the afternoon." ”
"If you have something, you can deal with it first, and there is no rush for work. ”
After saying hello to Emily in a hurry, Shu Xiaoxiu ran towards the dormitory.
One minute later, maybe the house price in Tianquan City would be much higher, so Shu Xiaoxiu didn't delay at all, and returned to Shui Lanxing.
As soon as he wanted to leave the dormitory, Shu Xiaoxiu saw a small bag on the table, and under the small bag, a piece of paper was pressed.
Reaching out to pick up the bag, the familiar touch made Shu Xiaoxiu think of the spar for the first time.
However, Shu Xiaoxiu didn't open it to look at it, but picked up the paper on the desktop and looked at it.
In one minute, Shu Xiaoxiu finished reading the content on the paper. This was left by her sister Shen Yue, in addition to this piece of paper and the thirty white crystals in the bag.
Looking at the sky outside, Shu Xiaoxiu frowned. At this moment, Shen Yue had already left for a day, and he couldn't catch up if he wanted to.
Shen Yue went home to pick up her parents!
In addition to briefly stating the reason, the letter also arranged a task for Shu Xiaoxiu.
That is, to buy or rent a house so that when the parents come over, they can have a place to live.
I don't know if I can catch up with Xiaoxiu, but even if I catch up, I'm afraid that with Xiaoxiu's current strength, he won't be able to give Shen Yue much help.
Forget it, let's buy a house first. Shu Xiaoxiu thought about it for a while and made a decision.
Walking out of the dormitory, Shu Xiaoxiu looked at the still quiet campus, and his heart felt like a world away.
But I don't know how long this quiet can last. With a sigh in his heart, Shu Xiaoxiu walked towards the outside of the academy.
"Shu Xiaoxiu, this way. As soon as he walked to the school gate, Shu Xiaoxiu heard a familiar voice calling out to him.
"Xiao Lei, why are you here?" Shu Xiaoxiu looked at Xiao Lei, who was leaning against the gate of the academy, and asked suspiciously.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Xiao Lei said depressedly.
"Wait for me, wait for me to do what?"
"You're going to buy a house!" Xiao Lei asked with a smile.
"Why are you ......" As soon as he said three words, Xiao Xue'er's appearance appeared in Shu Xiaoxiu's mind.
"Let's go, I've got you covered. Xiao Lei said proudly. "By the way, how many crystals do you have?"
"Less than three hundred white crystals. ”
"Damn, so much, you local tyrant. Xiao Lei looked at Shu Xiaoxiu in surprise, "You robbed the bank?"
"I got a little salary advance in advance. Shu Xiaoxiu smiled.
"A light warlock is good. Xiao Lei said enviously.
