Chapter 143 (2/2)

The front desk employee nodded and quickly completed the check-out process for them. Everyone went back to their rooms and simply packed their luggage. It was just their phones, laptops and some extra clothes. Then they headed to the new house.

The taxi soon stopped at an upscale neighbourhood.

The house Old Mo’s previous team rented was one personally chosen by him. The environment of this villa was excellent. The entire community was full of flowers and the five storey house surrounded by flowers was like a castle hidden in a forest in a fairy tale. Xiao Lou liked this house instantly.

The landlord old lady was very enthusiastic. She came over to give the keys and signed the contract on the spot. The monthly rent was 300,000 gold coins, equivalent to 3,000 yuan, and the deposit was 300,000. They would rent for a month first and renew the lease three days in advance.

They entered the house and found it was a dream place.

The solid wood-style decorations added a simple and refres.h.i.+ng look throughout the home. The first floor had a bright and s.p.a.cious living room with flew to ceiling windows and a balcony that was as long as eight metres. This was attached to a large garden filled with flowers.

The dining room was large and had a long table that could fit more than a dozen people. There was a sliding door to the kitchen where four or five adults could stand and cook at the same time.

Go out the floor and ceiling windows of the dining room and there was a swimming pool. The water was crystal clear and the pool was surrounded by tall, broad-leaved trees. There was a row of lounge chairs around the pool.

The second to fourth floors were all bedrooms while the fifth floor was a wide terrace where they could have a few drinks and a barbecue with friends.

There were some exquisite paintings hanging on the walls of the house as well as many little decorations.

Mo Xuemin looked at the familiar atmosphere and complex emotions flashed on his face and lowered her voice, “When we rented this house, we made plans to live here for a few months. We bought a lot of furniture but we didn’t expect…”

He just didn’t expect that his teammates would all be wiped but after encountering hunters in the World Weekly secret room.

Mo Xuemin’s fingers couldn’t help trembling slightly. Xiao Lou walked over and gently pressed a hand to his shoulder. “Old Mo, don’t think about the past. It isn’t your fault that your former teammates were killed. The house is beautifully decorated and let’s stay here.”

Ye Qi quickly changed the topic. “Hurry and allocate bedrooms!”

Mo Xuemin cleared his low mood and took everyone around the bedrooms. “This villa has five rooms on the second to fourth floors for a total of 15 bedrooms. The landlord intentionally remodelled the rooms to rent it to us foreigners. The bedrooms are close to each other and there are two public toilets and bathrooms. You can choose what you want.”

Ye Qi scratched his head. “It looks pretty much the same and I can sleep anywhere.”

Liu Qiao nodded. “I also don’t care.”

Qu Wanyue smiled and suggested, “Professor Xiao, you can just arrange it.”

Xiao Lou thought about it. “Then Teacher Qu, Xiao Liu, Long Sen and Old Mo will stay on the third floor. The other four will stay on the second floor. If we gain new teammates in the future, they can stay on the fourth floor. The rooms are sufficient and you can adjust it any time you want to change.”

No one had an opinion. Then Qu Wanyue opened her mouth, “One more thing, I want to go to the mall to buy a few changes of clothing tomorrow. My clothes have been the same since entering the Card World and I’ve been wearing them for almost a month…”

Liu Qiao added, “We should also buy some seasonal clothes to wear.

Old Mo said, “Everyone should’ve found it? Before entering the secret room, the gatekeeper will empty all our supplies and we can’t even sneak in a lighter. We can only bring our card pack in. However, the clothes won’t be removed. So we can prepare a few more sets. When entering the secret room, wear summer clothes inside and a sweater and coat on top. If the room is summer then take off the coat completely. If it is winter, you won’t freeze to death from wearing short sleeves.”

Everyone, “……”

Layer by layer, prepare clothes for several seasons to cope with different environments… everyone felt very helpless.

Xiao Lou smiled and nodded. “That is a good method. We will rest first. Then tomorrow morning, we will go to the mall to buy clothes and daily necessities. In the afternoon, we will go to the trading market to look at the cards. In the evening, we will see Old Gui. We must hurry to continue clearing the instances.”

After entering the main city, apart from the World Weekly, there was nothing mandatory from Monday to Friday. Challengers could rest and relax. Xiao Lou’s plan was to first contact Old Gui and the Intelligence Bureau to work out a plan. Then they would open the secret room before midnight Friday to avoid going to the World Weekly as Brother Jiu suggested.

At 11:30 p.m. everyone lined up to wash and get ready for bed.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang came to the rooms on the second floor.

This villa was Old Mo’s design. Everywhere expressed the warmth of ‘home’, from the hanging pictures in the corridors, the flower stands on the balcony, the decorations in the bedroom, the soft sofa and the clean bedding…

Everyone finally had a place to stay in this world. However, this wasn’t their home. They were just pa.s.sersby and would go back one day.

Yu Hanjiang walked into his bedroom, opened the floor to ceiling window and looked at the trees outside while thinking. As a result, Xiao Lou’s voice was suddenly heard in his head. “Group Leader Yu, you are still thinking a lot. Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Yu Hanjiang slightly froze for a second. “You… are you pus.h.i.+ng me to sleep?”

Xiao Lou’s voice was soft. “This week, we floated at sea for seven days and you killed so many sharks. You are physically exhausted and should have a good rest. Don’t think too much and wait until tomorrow. You should rest first.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’m going to sleep. You should also have an early rest.”

Since becoming a police officer, his schedule was very chaotic. It was common for him to go to work in the middle of the night and for day and night to be mixed up. No one cared about when he slept. Then just now, he heard Xiao Lou’s soft voice persuading him to sleep early and a stream of warmth burst into his heart. The feeling was like a cold winter moon was about to lose consciousness when someone placed a heater in his hand.

All the blood in his body and every pore warmed up. It was really different to have someone care…

Yu Hanjiang obediently took a bath and slept. He tried to contact Xiao Lou using the heart channel and found that there was no response, like Xiao Lou had fallen asleep. It seemed that Xiao Lou was really tired because he had fallen asleep in seconds.

Yu Hanjiang’s lips slightly curved and he happily closed his eyes. Since entering the Card World, this was the night he got the best sleep.
