Xu Cheng opened his eyes and saw a strange, no, familiar ceiling.
He found that he had returned to the room and was lying on the bed. Everything that had happened before seemed to be an illusion.
But this is not an illusion, because the manager prompt is still there.
【mission completed】
[Rewards have been distributed: Killer card is randomly strengthened by +1, mission point +1]
Xu Cheng jumped up from the bed, fell to the ground, and muttered silently in his heart: "Attributes."
A few lines of small text immediately appeared in his field of vision.
【Xu Cheng】
【Life: 1】
[Skill: None]
[Equipment: Killer Card]
[Task Point: 1]
[Evaluation: Salted fish are better than you]
Xu Cheng didn't care about the manager's evaluation, but opened his palms in surprise. Countless bright points of light appeared out of thin air, and then condensed into a card.
[Character Card: Killer]
[Talent: Eagle Eye]
[Skills: Fighting (Mastery), Firearms (Beginner), Stealth (Beginner)]
【use or not】
Among the three skills, fighting is randomly enhanced to mastery.
Xu Cheng did not expect that the killer card given by the manager could be brought into reality and could be used in reality.
"Use the killer card."
The killer card in his hand turned into a point of light again and sank into Xu Cheng's body, his appearance unchanged.
Combat knowledge, firearms knowledge, stealth knowledge, etc. all come to mind.
He shook his strong arms in joy and unleashed a set of punches with great success.
Jumping on the spot, the height of the jump easily exceeds 1.6 meters. His eyesight, which was originally somewhat short-sighted, has become 4K ultra-clear, and he can clearly see the fine lines on the wall.
"Load appearance."
As Xu Cheng gave the order in his heart, his appearance began to change, and in an instant he turned into a stern young man wearing a black windbreaker.
The appearance can be canceled or used, and the attributes of the character card will not disappear. This is an unexpected surprise for Xu Cheng.
The only flaw is that the killer is stuck in reality and can only be used for a maximum of 2 hours a day. Mission points can be used to extend the time limit.
The role of mission points is great. You can buy the number of repeats during the mission, you can also consume mission points for resurrection during the mission, and you can also use them to improve the skills of the character card.
The most important thing is that it can improve Xu Cheng's own skills and health. He has not forgotten that he accepted the exploitation of the manager in order to avoid dying young.
1 task point can increase health by 1 point.
Xu Cheng looked at his pitiful 1 point of health and hesitated.
He really wanted to increase his health now, but he was afraid that he would need it in later missions.
After thinking about it, he decided to save this 1 mission point first. The manager said that he can live to be 35 years old. He is only in his early twenties now and has more than ten years of life left, so there is no need to rush.
At this time, the sound of the door opening came from outside. Xu Cheng quickly canceled the killer card, restored his appearance, then opened the door and stuck his head out.
Sure enough, it was Qiu Gongyue who came back, still carrying her box in her hand.
"Do you get off work so late today?"
Xu Cheng said hello as usual. After all, he was the landlord and he still needed some humanistic care for his guests.
Qiu Gongyue had a cold and pretty face, and was just about to nod as usual. She didn't know what came to mind, but suddenly said: "I have more work at night."
Xu Cheng showed a surprised expression and even thought he heard wrongly.
After living together for more than half a year, this was the first time Qiu Gongyue responded to his greetings. Could it be that she was in a good mood because she met a "big" client tonight?
Qiu Gongyue didn't care about Xu Cheng's reaction and went back to the room with the box.
She just felt that compared to the newcomer with a bad attitude tonight, the landlord who had always cared about her was more pleasing to the eye.
So I gave him a rare reply to avoid embarrassment to him.
Of course, if the landlord misunderstood something and had thoughts that he shouldn't have, Qiu Gongyue wouldn't mind giving him a knife and changing his place to live.
…
early morning.
Xu Cheng came out of the room with a chicken coop on his head, walked into the bathroom to wash up, and then got into the kitchen to make a random breakfast for himself.
After eating, I went out to throw away the garbage with a garbage bag, and found an express package at the door.
On the package, the address was his home, but the recipient number was written on the 8th.
Xu Cheng showed a confused expression. This was definitely not addressed to him, because neither his real name nor his online name had anything to do with No. 8.
Apart from him as the landlord, the only tenant in the house now is Qiu Gongyue. Could it be for her?
Xu Cheng returned to the house with the express delivery, came to Qiu Gongyue's door, stretched out his hand and knocked.
In the room, Qiu Gongyue, who was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, opened her eyes.
She got out of bed as gracefully and dexterously as a cat, and removed the death trap arranged behind the door. Then she opened the door, looked at Xu Cheng with her big, beautiful eyes with long eyelashes, and asked silently: Is something wrong?
When she is not on a mission, Qiu Gongyue will try to avoid talking to people, lest her character be grasped and her flaws exposed.
Xu Cheng was not surprised by Qiu Gongyue's mute state, so he raised the express in his hand: "No. 8, your express."
Qiu Gongyue's pupils were shaking, and the hand holding the door suddenly tightened, almost leaving finger marks on the solid wood door panel.
No. 8 is her codename in The Dead, and no one except the organization knows it. How did the landlord know?
Xu Cheng asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Qiu Gongyue quickly suppressed the shock and murderous intention in her heart, lowered her eyelashes, and said calmly: "How do you know No. 8?"
Xu Cheng shook the courier in his hand: "It says on the courier, recipient No. 8, I guess it should be yours, is it yours?"
express delivery?
Qiu Gongyue was a little shocked. She didn't even know the organization when she lived here. Who would send express delivery to her?
No...one person knows!
Qiu Gongyue's eyes fell on the express delivery in Xu Cheng's hand, and she stretched out her hand to him: "It's mine."
Xu Cheng handed the express delivery to her, but he was very curious.
When Qiu Gongyue heard the name No. 8, the slight abnormal change did not escape Xu Cheng's eyes. I don't know if it was an illusion. He felt that his vision and observation skills were better than usual today. He obviously did not have a killer card equipped. of.
Why does Qiu Gongyue react so obviously to the title No. 8?
Xu Cheng thought about it, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood.
There is only one truth - Qiu Gongyue is not a chef at all, but a technician, and the number 8 refers to the technician number 8.
It was just speculation before, but now it should be considered solid evidence.
Xu Cheng had a look of regret in his eyes. No matter how he looked at it, for three months in a row, Qiu Gong Yue always amazed him, not even the Paper Man's wife could compare with it.
You can eat by relying on your face, so why should you lie down?
"You must have a hard job."
Xu Cheng lamented: "If you leave early and come back late, you have to receive different guests every time."
After getting the express delivery, Qiu Gongyue, who was about to close the door, stopped and stared straight at Xu Cheng with a pair of emotionless eyes.
He...discovered my identity?
Do you want to silence yourself?
Xu Cheng didn't notice that Qiu Gongyue's cold eyes were any different from usual: "Whenever I'm free, I'll go to your place of work."
Qiu Gongyue suddenly became confused again. Did she discover it or not?
She tentatively said: "My working place is not fixed."
Xu Cheng understood that this was not a seat at a fixed place, but a takeaway.
He thought for a while and asked what he had been hiding in his heart: "Then how many nights do you usually pay?"
After collecting rent for so long, we have to organize a feedback activity to support the work of the tenants.
Qiu Gongyue almost touched the knife on her thigh. Wasn't this the secret code for meeting the newcomer last night? What is he hinting at?
But looking at Xu Cheng's particularly pure eyes, she was a little unsure.
This kind of uncertainty makes Qiu Gongyue very irritable and uneasy. As a killer, he hates unexpected situations and uncontrollable situations.
Her voice became colder: "I don't cover nights, only people."
"Oh, it's okay then, just get busy."
Xu Cheng felt that these words sounded familiar, and then he understood.
This is not a sit-down meal or a takeout, but a private customization and high-end service. No wonder I bring a box with me every time I go out. There might be whip candles and COS clothes in it.
A poor guy like him can only retreat and cannot afford to play.
