Chapter 222 - New House has been decided on (1/2)

Red String of Fate?

Good stuff!

Zhang Ye was one never to reject. After owning the game ring for such a long period of time, he knew that those special items that did not catch his eye would usually come in handy. For example, that lock-picking skill. Back then, when he received it, he thought it was trash, but what was the outcome? It saved his life! Hence, Zhang Ye was no longer picky. He wanted anything. Naturally, having more items in his inventory was better!

Draw again!

This time he bought another Additional Stake!

The Consumption Category was the biggest region. The needle stopped and landed in this region. Immediately, two Treasure Chests (Small) appeared.

Flipping open the Treasure Chest, out came a die like object.

[Difficulty Adjustment Die] : After it is thrown, it will randomly change the player's difficulty. The period of its effects are random.

Seeing this item he drew, Zhang Ye, who said he did not reject anything, could not help but curse f**k. Why is it this c.r.a.ppy thing again? He had even bought an Additional Stake to get two of these “Difficulty Adjustment Dice”? Can you stop fooling around? Big Bro! Go back wherever you came from! Zhang Ye really felt like throwing the two dice away. He wanted to throw it as far as he could, but when he recalled that they became effective the moment they were thrown, he abandoned that thought, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. For these items, Zhang Ye felt great psychological pressure. If it had not created that perverse difficulty, he would not have encountered the hijacking. If not for the Lucky Bread and the Commercial Airline Piloting Skillbook, he would not have come back alive!

This die was a double-edged sword. It had equal advantages and disadvantages!

Advantages were good, but once he obtained a disadvantage, there was a high chance of him dying!

He was still lucky on the plane. The increase in difficulty by ten times only lasted for about 50 minutes. If it f**king gave me a year of ten times difficulty…Will I f**king be still alive?

A car would smash into me when I’m out?

Just going out for a walk would result in a dog biting me?

When I walk downstairs, a flower pot will come cras.h.i.+ng down at me?

Just those thoughts made Zhang Ye feel a chill. Are you guys trying to kill this bro?

Once bitten, twice shy. Zhang Ye no longer dared to repeat this again. Unless needed as a last resort, he would never use the die. Hence, he quickly and gently picked up the dice from the Treasure Chests and kept it in the inventory, afraid he would drop it, causing it to automatically change the difficulty.

Forget it, let’s not draw anymore.

His luck today wasn’t good.

Past 6 P.M.

He had been having good meals the past two days. The airport and the people from China Airlines kept hosting feasts for him. Anyways, Zhang Ye was not hungry. So he excused himself to not eat with them, saying he was busy. He secretly left the hotel and wore a large pair of dark sungla.s.ses to hide his face, afraid others would recognize him. Actually, this fellow had over-thought it. Although the hijacking incident had made Zhang Ye known around the country, only his fans in Beijing knew what he looked like. In Shanghai, they could not receive “Lecture Room”, and there were only a few pictures of Zhang Ye on the web. Those who did not watch his programs wouldn’t even recognize him even if he walked past them. Few people in Shanghai could recognize him.

On the streets, the lights were bright.

Neon lights flicked in the distance. It was bustling with life.

Zhang Ye indeed had something to do. He did not take the subway and hailed a taxi, and went towards the city center. He already had Weiwo Video Company’s address, as a middle-aged man had contacted him on the phone this afternoon. But of course, Zhang Ye did not plan on going to the office now. It was already late, and they were knocking off soon. He wanted to rent an apartment near to the office. After all, he had to live here for a few months, so he needed to settle his accommodation.

The Bund.

The sound of water could be heard as the wind blew across the river.

Men and women were leaning on the railings. They were either flirting or watching the scenery. The atmosphere was very leisurely. There were also yachts and boats cruising down the river. There were many banks and insurance company advertis.e.m.e.nts pasted on the boats. It was a scene that affected the atmosphere, but it was overall quite a charming place.

There were quite a lot of people, but it was not chaotic. The scenery was very static.
