Jiang Linxian came to the first floor.
The old man playing chess was walking in the courtyard.
He twisted his neck from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.
Jiang Linxian called him: "Old man, do you want to play chess?"
The old man who heard the voice turned around slowly and showed a faint smile: "Okay, let's stick to the old rules. If you lose, I'll take one of your parts. If you win, you'll suck my ghost energy."
"No problem." Jiang Linxian replied.
The old man walked back to the chessboard in the apartment building, sat down at the chessboard, and started playing chess.
While playing chess, he said very puzzledly: "Today is really strange. I woke up early in the morning and my neck hurt badly. My energy was not as good as yesterday. I don't know why."
Jiang Linxian watched him keep touching his neck with his other hand, and thought of the experience of being almost attacked by him last night.
At that time, his neck had already been broken, and it was just hung on his body by the flesh of his neck.
It's already good to be able to recover now.
Speaking of which, the recovery ability of these ghosts is quite strong. As long as they don't touch the core parts, they are generally difficult to kill.
"Maybe I have a stiff neck." Jiang Linxian moved his chess pieces with trembling arms and replied, "You'll be fine if you rest more."
"What you said makes sense." The old man nodded.
The two set up the chess pieces and started playing chess.
The old man's condition today is obviously much worse than yesterday.
After about ten rounds, Jiang Linxian rushed to his lair.
His mood suddenly became extremely depressed.
After losing a game of chess, he was already out of mood.
Jiang Linxian stretched out his hand and touched his palm and began to absorb the ghost energy.
In half an hour, 1800 points of ghost power were added.
Now his ghost power has increased to 7504, and he is about to reach the mid-danger level.
"Old man, let's continue tomorrow."
"You kid are staring at me, aren't you?" The old man glared at him, his beard standing up in anger.
"I saw you were bored alone and wanted to spend more time with you." Jiang Linxian wiped the nosebleed clean: "Look at how many people in this apartment are willing to play chess with you?"
The old man thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded: "That's true. Then come over and play chess with me tomorrow."
【Ding! 】
[The chess-playing old man’s favorable opinion of you increases by +30! 】
Jiang Linxian was very satisfied. Not only did he gain ghost power, he also unexpectedly gained the old man's favor.
He stood up with a smile and said goodbye to the old man and came to the fifth floor.
He actually didn't get much rest from last night to today, and now it was time to go back and get some sleep.
At his door, Li Yuan and the middle-aged man were standing at the door of his rental house talking.
Jiang Linxian was a little puzzled.
It felt like these two people were here to find me.
When Li Yuan saw Jiang Linxian, he quickly waved to him.
The middle-aged man looked serious.
"Brother Jiang, why did I knock on the door of your room but there was no response? It turns out you have gone out." Li Yuan was very familiar with him and put his arm around Jiang Linxian's shoulders.
The latter's body suddenly trembled, and he quietly moved Li Yuan's arm away from his shoulder.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Linxian asked.
"I heard from Li Yuan last night that you have a way to prevent the residents of Happy Apartment from attacking players. I came here to ask for advice." The middle-aged man said.
"Yes, Brother Jiang, if it weren't for you, I would have been chased by ghosts all night last night." Li Yuan chuckled.
He suddenly thought of another thing and asked with interest: "How did you hook up with Mrs. Hu of Xingfu Apartment?"
"I saw last night that she was very nice to you, and she was flirting with you secretly."
"Have you already been with her..."
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about a landlord as mature and charming as Mrs. Hu." Jiang Linxian immediately explained.
"She is like the moon in the sky. I can only look up and cannot bear to blaspheme her."
"You'd better not make any crooked ideas."
Jiang Linxian said while his nose was bleeding, and from time to time there was a slight chill behind his back.
Because just now the system suddenly prompted that Mrs. Hu was standing in the stairwell between the sixth and fifth floors eavesdropping.
When he thought of Li Yuan's words that Shabi was not afraid of death, he wanted to beat him to death with a stick.
He was the one who tricked me last night, and now he wants to trick me again.
"As for why the residents of the apartment building didn't attack me just now, it's because of Mrs. Hu's help." Jiang Linxian said, "If it weren't for Mrs. Hu, all three of us would have been dead last night."
"So we should be grateful to Mrs. Hu. We'd better prepare a gift for her."
When Li Yuan heard Jiang Linxian's tirade, he couldn't help but chuckled: "You boy is really devoted to Mrs. Hu. Look at you, when you talk about Mrs. Hu, your nose bleeds. It feels like you have never seen a woman before."
"It seems like she didn't give you any less benefits."
Jiang Linxian glared at him: "It's already an honor to be able to help Mrs. Hu, and you actually want benefits?"
He felt that if he teamed up with a player like Li Yuan in the novice copy of Dras Castle, he might not survive more than two days.
[Mrs. Hu's favorable impression of you in Happy Apartment is +30. Her favorable impression of you has almost reached perfection. It seems that you can do some more frivolous things to Mrs. Hu! 】
Jiang Linxian was stunned for a moment after receiving the prompt.
Immediately afterwards, he opened the door to his room, walked in, and asked, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Li Yuan walked in before Jiang Linxian finished speaking. The middle-aged man hesitated and walked in too.
"This room is really clean." Li Yuan glanced around Jiang Linxian's room and couldn't help but praise.
The middle-aged man on the side became a little impatient and reminded him: "Let's get down to business."
He turned to look at Jiang Linxian and asked, "Did Mrs. Hu give you any special props to drive away those resident ghosts?"
"I don't know much about this either." Jiang Linxian did not tell them about the blood candle.
After all, they are not familiar with each other.
"Mrs. Hu just asked me to be the night watchman temporarily last night. I don't know anything else."
"I may know." The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Mrs. Hu should have given you a weapon last night, which is the long whip in your hand and a red candle."
"When she came back, I noticed that you returned the candle to her, and she also held a red whip in her hand. By that time, your red whip had disappeared."
"Maybe it's these two props."
Jiang Linxian couldn't help but admire the middle-aged man's careful observation.
He was almost torn apart by that terrifying ghost last night, but he still had the heart to pay attention to me. It's not easy.
But last night, he really didn't hide it much. Since he could guess it, it didn't hurt. He just had to pretend to be confused.
"Listening to what you said, it's really possible!" Jiang Linxian showed an expression of sudden realization and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man glanced at him indifferently, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart.
This dangerous player is really Shabi. He took such an important prop as his landlord, but he still doesn’t know its use or how his previous dungeon survived.
