Notes on the Passive World
Chapter 39
In the small hotel, Huaguo leaned against the headboard, wearing a simple pure-colored long-sleeved nightgown that she had just bought from the street. The large letters on it stretched from the neckline to the hem of the skirt.
Her eyes stared at the small TV player in front of her without blinking.
The news on it was mostly about this world. There was no news about the hunters, nor was there any news about ants that she saw on the airship.
It was as if —
It was as if this was a brand new world.
Chivalry and the others had also entered this game. Although they didn't mention much, Huaguo was more or less aware of some things.
For example, in the initial location of the game, in addition to the initial hut, there was an endless grassland.
There were also a few cities that she had visited in the game. Chivalry also made a simple list for her.
But whether it was Andonibal, Shoufulabi, or Masadora, none of the names on the list matched the place where she was now.
It wasn't so much a game.
It was better to say —
Since she came to this world that was very similar to the world of royalty, Huaguo, who recovered from the moment of shock, first tried to use the bank card that Zongxiang gave her in the bank.
Mhmm.
The money was not withdrawn.
And the money in the wallet could not be used.
Although it seemed to be written in Japanese yen.
But —
Fortunately, she remembered the explanation she saw before entering the game.
[Greed Island is not a fictional virtual world. Instead, it uses telekinesis to teleport to an island in the real world through the game console to play the game.]
With the mentality of giving it a try, she took out the ring that was returned from the airship.
It was both unexpected and expected.
She could use the ring to exchange for Japanese yen at the bank.
There weren't many rings, but the exchange rate shocked Huaguo.
Holding the freshly exchanged 15 million yen, after checking the purchasing ability here, Huaguo immediately felt a little heartache about the bank card that she left on the airship. It was said that it could be used infinitely.
Although it was Chivalry's.
And she was afraid that he would do something to it, so she didn't want it.
She sighed silently in her heart and stored all the money in her warehouse.
Although he didn't know how long he would stay in this world, compared to keeping it in the bank, it was safer to keep it in his hands.
This world was closer to the one she was already familiar with.
Although she was forced to enter the game, the sense of familiarity made her fall in love with this place.
If not for the fact that Wuji and Shimura were still in their hands …
She didn't even want to go out.
On the first day of entering the game.
It was neither cold nor warm. It was a rainy day.
As soon as he came out of the bank, he looked at the bustling streets not far away because of the gray sky. He couldn't help but squint his eyes.
It was an urgent matter.
As expected, he had to find a place to stay first.
It was just as she had thought.
Because the ring could be exchanged for currency here, the identity card Chivalry gave her could also be used here.
Although it didn't feel good to be followed for no reason because of this identity card, this was the game.
Huaguo didn't feel much uneasiness because it was beyond what Chivalry and the others had told her.
On the contrary, because of this feeling that was beyond the other party's expectations, she was no longer as dispirited as she was before entering the game. She seemed to be much more energetic.
Even though she didn't have an umbrella in her hand, she allowed the raindrops to fall on her waist-length hair like fine diamonds.
Nothing could change her good mood.
Because it was getting late and it was raining, she wasn't picky.
She wasn't overly picky. She casually found a relatively high-end hotel on the street and checked in.
The facilities were relatively simple, but it was clean. Moreover, it included two meals.
The price for a night was 6,500 yen, which wasn't too expensive.
She calculated the money she had on hand. Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't too late, she checked in and turned into the commercial street with an umbrella.
This seemed to be an old neighborhood.
The old-fashioned street had no shelter from the rain. Because of the drizzle, the sparrows that were originally perched on the wires had all disappeared. Through the misty air, one could still vaguely see the bustling commercial street on the opposite side of the street, which was packed with people.
She passed by a few shops and a few small restaurants.
She stopped in front of a rental agency's door.
Compared to staying in a hotel, it was obviously more convenient to rent an apartment.
Not only could she save nearly a third of the money, but the privacy and security were also more reliable.
Although it was raining, the agent was still very enthusiastic.
First, according to Huaguo's requirements and the ability to pay, they screened out a portion of the apartments that didn't meet the requirements. Then, based on security and convenience, as well as the size of the rooms, they finally booked a few locations.
Money makes the world go round.
Although the money exchanged for the ring wasn't particularly much, it wasn't a small amount in this place.
Although he had a fourteen-year-old face and looked very young, no one doubted the identity card in his hand that showed that he was already an adult.
At most, they would think that she had a baby face.
She looked at the apartment, paid the deposit, and signed the contract.
After the set of procedures, it only took two days for her to live in an apartment that temporarily belonged to her.
The 2DK apartment was about 65 square meters, with a small balcony. It was only ten minutes away from the station, and there was a supermarket and a hospital nearby.
The rent was 130,000 yen a month, and the rent was a year. She paid half a year's rent in one go.
It wasn't that there wasn't a better choice.
It was just that when she came to look at the apartment with the agent that day, through the glass window on the small balcony, she could clearly see the children walking on the street with a small umbrella and cute little rain boots.
Diagonally across the apartment was a kindergarten.
It was peaceful here, and it was completely different from the world before she entered the game.
She almost fell in love with this place at first glance.
After the decision was made, everything was done quickly.
The days she lived here were the most comfortable days she had ever lived since she came from the other side of the passage.
In just three short days, it was as if the memories of the meteor street, the airship, and the enemy were all thrown to the back of her mind.
She was used to waking up early every day, standing downstairs and watching the kindergarten's school bus send the children in one by one, and then carrying the groceries from the supermarket upstairs.
Although there was a commercial street nearby, the Pufferbone Ramen there seemed to be the cheapest at 650 yuan a bowl.
Moreover, in order to avoid being lazy, she simply took a copy of the takeout orders from all the small restaurants nearby.
Although it wasn't that she couldn't afford it, she felt that ordering takeout every day didn't seem too good.
Fortunately, because of the Night Fight, Huaguo had a good impression of all the 24-hour convenience stores. The instant lunchboxes and snacks in the stores were not inferior to the takeout orders.
When the stores just received the new stock in the morning, the products were the freshest.
Huaguo took a box of almost every lunchbox, not caring about the cashier's gaze. When she passed by the cashier, she took a bag of candy.
It was a mix of fruit candies.
Those children seemed to like it very much.
When she stuffed it into the bag, she didn't know if it was because her movements were too big, but the dried plum seaweed rice ball that was originally stuffed into the bag fell out vertically from the plastic bag and onto the ground.
With two bulging plastic bags in her hands, the movement of picking up the rice ball seemed to be somewhat difficult.
Just as she was about to put the plastic bags in her hands aside, she saw that the rice ball that was originally lying quietly on the ground was picked up by someone, and at the same time, patted the plastic bag covering the rice ball.
"Here you go."
His voice was very clear, and it was completely inconsistent with his decadent appearance.
However, there was no change in his expression on his face, as if he completely regarded her as a stranger.
"Thank you."
Huaguo was a little hesitant at first, but quickly reacted and accepted it.
She knew this person.
It was her neighbor.
Although the two of them went out at different times in the past few days, and they rarely met.
However, on the first day when they moved into the apartment.
She saw that decadent figure walking down the stairs step by step, half of his pale face and the light blue dark circles under his eyes weren't obvious, but there was a trend of faintly expanding.
Her first impression of him had been too deep, which was why she had always remembered him.
The other party obviously didn't have the intention to greet her. Huaguo wasn't sure if it was because he didn't recognize her.
Because when they met that day, the two of them had clearly greeted each other —
"I'll be your neighbor from now on. Nice to meet you, please take care of me."
"Ah." The sleepy man rubbed his half-long hair. "New resident?"
"Yes, my name is Zongxiang Huaguo."
