"Mom, dad will kill you if he knows!" the landlady's daughter said.
"Yao Yao, you will be 25 years old in a few days. Your father is away from home all day long. Who will take care of this family? Who will take care of the food, rice, oil and salt for this family? Who will provide you with your living expenses and pocket money?"
Yaoyao was stunned in place, as if she thought of something.
"If you dare to tell your father about this, after you are 25 years old, you will never get any more pocket time from me. You will just fend for yourself!" the landlady said sternly.
Yaoyao was frightened on the spot. She had not yet worked. If her family did not give her pocket money, she would die immediately after turning 25. Moreover, she has always portrayed herself as a carefree little princess in front of her friends, and she will not end up in their oppressed fate even when she is 25 years old.
When she thought of this, Yaoyao spat out through clenched teeth: "Grandma lost her footing and fell down the stairs!"
"Very good, your grandma still has forty years left in her life. After you turn 25, I will give you twenty years. You can buy whatever you want," the landlady said.
"Really?" Yaoyao said.
The landlady's eyes flashed with amusement, and then she robbed grandma of all her life time.
Looking at the extra forty years on her arm, the landlady couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and her eyes became excited.
Those who have time in Fengquan City are the bosses.
She knew very well that a few people in this place controlled most of the time wealth, and the majority of people were hungry and cold. They woke up every day and worked hard in less than a day, and were squeezed out.
Although people will age, they will not die as long as time and life are still there!
Nowadays, there are even very powerful plastic surgery technologies. Even the aging body and face can be rejuvenated as long as they can afford the high cost of time.
But some people with conservative ideas like to hold time in their hands and feel that only by saving time can they feel safe.
"Hey, funeral home? The old man fell down the stairs and has no vital signs... Please have someone come as soon as possible. It's at No. 75 Fenggang Road."
The landlady took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, then calmly walked upstairs.
Yaoyao didn't dare to stay where she was and followed her upstairs slowly.
In the stairwell, a shadow bird slowly returned to the first floor of the hotel.
Not long after, the funeral home's car arrived at the door, accompanied by an event registrar.
Under the unanimous testimony of the landlady and her daughter Yaoyao, the old lady was ruled to have died accidentally.
Afterwards, the funeral home personnel took the old lady’s body away.
The landlady immediately went through the cremation process.
Yaoyao didn't look good, so she said something to the landlord and went upstairs to rest.
It took less than an hour for the landlady to take care of everything.
Then, as if he was relieved, he sat down on the sofa.
She unbuttoned her shirt, picked up a cup of tea from the coffee table, and poured a cup of tea, regardless of whether the tea cup was washed or not, and drank it in one gulp.
"Did you see it?"
The landlady suddenly turned her head and looked at Li Ran, with a cold light in her eyes.
"What did you say?" Li Ran pretended to be confused.
The landlady slowly put the cup down, and the coldness in her eyes became even more intense.
Black spider tentacles slowly grew on her back, slowly opening on her back, and the ends of the tentacles flashed with a cold red light.
"You were on the third floor just now!" the landlady said coldly.
At this moment, terrifying spider legs grew behind her. Her whole body was hanging on the spider legs, and she slowly climbed to the ceiling and hung upside down, giving Li Ran a great sense of oppression.
"I saw the old lady slipping and falling down the stairs. I didn't know anything else." Li Ran said calmly.
When the landlady who turned into a scary spider monster heard this, the scary spider legs behind her slowly retracted, as if nothing happened, she sat on the sofa and said with a look of disgust: "When will this tea be brewed?" Yes, it’s all rancid!”
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Li Ran's forehead.
S level, the landlady is full of question marks!
If he had answered the wrong question just now, his life would have been at risk in an instant.
This woman is not only cruel, but her methods are extremely vicious.
Li Ran is not arrogant enough to provoke an unknown and powerful being.
Besides, he was just doing a guidance mission, so there was no need to fight the landlady.
"I'm in a good mood today. I'll waive your rent and water and electricity bills this month."
The landlady got up and spilled the stinky tea on the wall, then walked upstairs, feeling in a good mood.
"Thank you, landlady." Li Ran said.
"Next month's payment must be paid on time."
"OK."

After entering the Fengquan Township dungeon, there is an extra life time on his arm, which is equivalent to another attribute bar, related to his life.
"It's been a day, and I feel a little more at ease." Li Ran thought to himself.
Afterwards, he closed the hotel directly and entered this strange city at night.
At night, the streets are bustling with people.
The streets were full of cars and horses, and it was much more lively than during the day.
Pedestrians on the road no longer need to carry red umbrellas.
Following the map, Li Ran headed north towards the urban center of Fengquan City.
He came to a big shopping mall.
"18 minutes for a cup of milk tea."
“All-you-can-eat buffet for the price of two hours.”
"Clip doll, one coin per minute."
“A lunch takes about 35 minutes.”
"Diamonds last forever, and one only costs 131.4 days!"
"Wangtian U8 new SUV, starting price: September 8, 2010"
Looking at the products in the entire mall, Li Ran seemed to have stepped into a whole new world.
A world where time can only be traded.
He saw the cleaning lady mopping the floor in the mall with her child on her back. She had less than half an hour on her arms.
Seeing the man handing out flyers with a cartoon bear stuffed his face made him smile broadly after receiving the hourly payment for the four hours he received.
I saw a couple standing in front of a cosmetics store. The girlfriend was excitedly trying various cosmetics in the store, while the boyfriend was holding his arms tightly and looking ugly.
I also saw a homeless man on the road who got into a fight with the owner of a store because the price of a bottle of water increased to two cents.
I even saw an aboriginal whose time had returned to zero in a dark corner, being dragged into the darkness by a pair of bloody ghost hands.
There is no time here to live worse than a dog.
The whole world is full of temptations.
The rate at which time is earned cannot keep up with the rate at which time is spent.
People who have time here live a really cool life.
Li Ran even saw a rich lady getting out of a luxury car, followed by seven or eight strong bodyguards.
From the time the rich lady's arms were exposed, I don't know how many people were jealous.
In more than a hundred years of life, this world has become rich.
It is not impossible that they can use time to generate time, buy everything they want, and even earn more thousands of years to achieve immortality.
In a newspaper, Li Ran saw a wealth ranking list in Fengquan City. Among them, a man named Ma had a life span of 980,000 years and occupied the first place in the wealth ranking list.
This makes people sigh, having so much time is already close to eternal life.
At the same time, it also made Li Ran realize that the world is full of dangers.
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
Rich people can hire bodyguards equipped with powerful weapons to protect themselves.
The poor people who tried to rob the rich people were shot dead before they even got a chance to get close to the rich people.
Moreover, the guile value of those rich people is not low. Even if it is only A level, the guile value that Li Ran sees is full of question marks.
"Dude, do you want to get a credit card?"
A young man wearing a bank uniform stopped Li Ran.
"It's convenient and fast, and it can be done in one minute. All you need to do is fill in the information."
"credit card?"
Li Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
"The loans will arrive instantly in five districts and eight towns in Fengquan City. No mortgage is required, no qualifications are required, only name and identity information are needed, and the loan can be up to one to ten years."
"How is the interest calculated?" Li Ran asked.
Seeing Li Ran's interest, the young man continued to introduce: "It depends on whether you pay interest first and then the principal, or whether the principal and interest are equal."
"If you take a one-year loan and pay interest first and then principal, you will have to repay 100.5 hours every month and repay the principal after twelve months for one year."
"If you pay equal amounts for each issue, you have to repay 800 hours every month until you repay it in twelve months."
"As long as you apply for this credit card, it can solve your worries about mortgage, rent, car loan, water and electricity, and even your children's schooling. Why are you so tired? It's time to relax. In fact, if you think about it carefully, every time It’s just an extra 100 hours per month, which is not much at all. On average, it’s only three extra hours a day, so it’s a good deal.”
"How about it? It's a good deal. Do you want to get one?"
The young man said with excitement. He could already see that the handsome young man in front of him was very excited.
And he just accidentally saw from the man's exposed arms that he had less than 24 hours to live.
In urgent need of time!
I will definitely apply for a credit card.
As long as you apply for a credit card, he will get a commission.
As for how this customer returns the credit card in the future, that is his business.
Anyway, he knows that people who have applied for credit cards will either repay the loan in the future or be demolishing one thing to make up for the other, and their life will be more tiring than a dog.
"No way!" Li Ran said.
The young man stared at Li Ran's leaving figure with vicious eyes, then took out a mobile phone from his pocket and made a call.
Li Ran walked out of the mall without looking back.
The loan time is actually about the same as applying for a credit card in reality.
No one is willing to take this road unless it is absolutely necessary.
"A mobile phone street?"
After walking out of the mall, Li Ran came to a street full of digital products.
This is already the city center.
But he didn't expect it to be more chaotic than Li Ran imagined.
The streets are full of black cars and cars, and the flow of people is very complicated.
When Li Ran walked into this street, he felt many eyes looking at his arms. The eyes of those people were like hungry wolves.
"Handsome guy, do you want a cell phone?"
At this time, a lean man with sinister features and stern eyes came to Li Ran and pressed his body close to him.
He was holding a one-step flip phone in his hand. Judging from the quality and model of the phone, it was the latest model in Fengquan City.
"No!" Li Ran refused without thinking.
He thought that the lean man would leave after refusing, but as a result, the lean man continued to approach and took out a laptop from his backpack: "Would you like a laptop? The latest parallel imports are more than half the market price." , it only takes two months to buy it, so it’s cheap.”
Li Ran smiled coldly. He now had less than a day to live, so where could he spend two months? However, as the sound of triggering the mission sounded in his ears, he became interested in what the lean man said.
[Trigger mission: black industry]
[Task reward: guile +300, points +3000, life time +10]
The lean man watched Li Ran squeeze into the door of an ordinary mobile phone store while standing next to each other.
There was a big man standing at the door of the mobile phone store. The lean man looked at him.
When Li Ran walked through the door of the mobile phone store.
The lean man and the big man suddenly grabbed Li Ran's arms one after another, wrapping him up and holding him hostage.
"If you don't want to die, don't move!" The big man put a dagger on Li Ran's lower back.
Li Ran did not resist and allowed the two men to escort him into a small room deep in the mobile phone store.
As soon as he entered the room, the door was slammed shut.
In the dark room, a dazzling incandescent light suddenly lit up.
Then the scene in the small dark room came into Li Ran's eyes.
In addition to the lean man and the strong man who escorted him in, there were three other people in the house.
There was a sofa in the small dark room. Sitting on the sofa was a thin man wearing red leather pants and a floral shirt. He had a three-quarter haircut. There were ferocious scars on the man's face, which made him unnatural. The friendly expression looked a little more fierce.
"Oh no, I thought it was a big fish, but I didn't expect it to be a shrimp." The lean and strong man directly rolled up Li Ran's sleeves, revealing less than 24 hours of life on his arms.
"Brother Hua, I'll just knock him out and leave him an hour to fend for himself!" The lean man asked the thin man with a scarred face for his opinion.
Brother Hua waved to the two of them to let go of Li Ran.
"Brother, where are you?" Brother Hua took out a butterfly knife from behind the sofa and started playing with it, looking at Li Ran with sharp eyes.
"A hotel owner." Li Ran said.
Brother Hua grinned and said: "You are actually a boss, and the business of opening a hotel is good. How could it be so miserable? You didn't know the time and thought you were a homeless man on the street."
Several people in the room burst into laughter.
"Business is hard to do now." Li Ran said lightly, looking at the people in the room.
In his eyes, all the information about these people was clearly visible.
(Brother Hua)
(A-level spiritually infected body)
(Cunning power value: 25000)
(The shady boss of the mobile phone street runs a mobile phone store on the surface, but secretly cheats, abducts, smuggles, and does everything. As long as he can gain life time, he will do anything.)
In the small dark room, Brother Hua has the highest guile value.
The other four people were all fierce-looking, but they were all of no use to them.
"Looking at the accent, you must be a foreigner." Hua Ge continued to play with the butterfly knife and asked.
"Yes."
Li Ran replied expressionlessly.
"Since we are all in business, I won't beat around the bush with you. The price of selling this latest mobile phone to you for 15 months is not too much." Hua Ge casually threw away an extremely broken mobile phone. On the ground in front of Li Ran, a corner of the phone case was broken due to too much force.
This kind of mobile phone is in the garbage recycling bin. It's garbage that even a dog doesn't want. Brother Hua is actually offering a price for fifteen months?
One year and three months! ?
I can buy a hundred fucking phones like this, and they're still new.
"What? Are you in trouble?" Seeing that Li Ran didn't respond, Brother Hua stuck the butterfly knife heavily on the table and said viciously.
"I don't have enough time, how can I buy it?" Li Ran said lightly.
Brother Hua snapped his fingers, the door of the small dark room was opened, and a young man walked in.
After the young man walked in, he nodded and bowed and said hello: "Brother Hua."
Li Ran looked at the young man and his pupils shrank slightly.
Good guy, isn't this the person in the mall who asked him to apply for a credit card?
Grass!
He got it.
It turns out they are all in the same group.
Really dark enough.
"There's nothing to be afraid of if you don't have time. You can apply for a credit card."
"It's okay not to apply for a credit card. I can also apply for a loan to ensure that you can afford all my things."
As Hua Ge said, he threw another laptop in front of Li Ran. It was a laptop with broken buttons and screen.
"I won't embarrass you. The price of selling this laptop to you is only three years."
"Aren't you short of time? I asked Xiaodai to approve a five-year credit card for you, just enough to buy these two latest digital products. Customers are God. We are always thinking about our customers. How about that? It's considerate enough." Brother Hua said.
Xiaodai from the bank had already collected the information and came to Li Ran. She said with a bad smile, "It would be better if we did it earlier. Do we have to force it?"
Looking at everyone in front of him, Li Ran understood that he had completely fallen into a wolf's den.
Suppose he is just an ordinary person now, just a student with no power.
Suddenly, at the entrance of a mobile phone store, I was held up by two strong men at knifepoint and forced into a small dark room. I had no choice but to be at the mercy of these criminals.
Even if you call heaven and earth, they won't respond, and if you call earth and earth, they won't work.
What’s even more ridiculous is that they even made a deal with him with some trash in a high-sounding manner.
What we talk about doing business is actually forced buying and selling.
Not buying?
Can you leave this room?
If you break into a wolf den alone, even if the wolves cut you into pieces, no one will know.
That's what's scary.
They can tell at a glance that you are a foreigner by the way you dress, the tone of your voice, and the way you behave.
As long as you are a foreigner, it will be easy.
They know you have nothing to rely on here, no background.
He can do whatever he wants to you and squeeze out all your value.
So what if you don’t have time?
They can lend you time.
White and black take all, and officials and businessmen protect each other, walking arrogantly and domineering in the gray area.
However, these people met Li Ran, not a helpless outsider.
Looking at the banker Xiaodai who looked proud in front of him, Li Ran said: "You can borrow time, right? That would be easy. With so many people, we should be able to borrow a lot!"
