Tang Qing, who was queuing behind him, heard his muttering and could not help but pat his shoulder. She reminded him in a low voice,
"Uncle, don't tell me you didn't prepare a gift?”
Zhou Cheng turned his head slightly and replied indifferently,
"No, I'm just a newbie who just cleared an instance dungeon. How would I know that I have to give gifts to stay in an apartment?”
Tang Qing saw that he didn't seem to be prepared to give her a gift. Her expression changed slightly and she advised,"
"Uncle, you should give some. It's fine as long as you can get the silver key. The room with the copper key is not for humans to live in.”
"Not only is the room small and dirty, but it's also very unsafe. It's very likely to be harassed and attacked by some ghosts that wander around the apartment.”
"If you really don't have anything to give me, I can give you one or two netherstones.”
At the end of her sentence, seeing that Zhou Cheng still looked indifferent, Tang Qing thought that he didn't even have nether stones, so she took out a few pieces from her pocket and handed them to him.
"Okay, I'll consider it. Thank you for your reminder, but you should keep these.”
"When you're out, remember not to expose your wealth. Do you know?"
Zhou Cheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tang Qing to be a little rich woman.
The netherstone contained pure soul power and was very useful to ghosts and monsters, so it had always been used as currency in horror games.
However, it was rare for humans to obtain netherstones. They could only obtain a few pieces when they cleared the dungeon.
For example, he had just cleared the Bloody Slaughterhouse dungeon. Because the difficulty of the dungeon was high and his completion rate was very good, he was rewarded with three netherstones.
However, she was not as generous as this girl. She casually took out three pieces and gave them to a stranger she had just met.
He quickly covered the nether stone in Tang Qing's hand with his backhand and pushed it back to her.
Just a moment ago, he noticed that several gazes were looking at the nether stone in Tang Qing's hand.
Hence, he reminded Tang Qing.
After all, Tang Qing had good intentions for him.
However, he could not help but ask,
"From the looks of it, you must be an old player. You must know how precious the netherstone is. Why are you giving it to a stranger like me? What are you after?"
"I don't want anything. Can't my intuition work? Although you say you're a newcomer, I think you have a lot of potential, understand?”
Tang Qing saw that not only did Zhou Cheng not accept her good intentions, but he even educated her instead. Her delicate nose twitched, and her cheeks puffed up, looking like she was angry.
However, upon closer inspection, when Zhou Cheng rejected her netherstone and reminded her, a barely noticeable smile flashed across her lips.
Zhou Cheng stood in front of Tang Qing, so he naturally did not notice her expression.
Hearing her subjective answer, he could only smile.
The two of them didn't say anything else and focused on the fat and thin ghosts again.
While they were chatting, several people had already collected their qualification certificates and keys.
Most of them were bronze keys.
There was almost nothing in the cloth bag in front of Skinny Ghost.
It was also because of this that the fat and thin ghosts 'expressions were very ugly.
"Li Liwei."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a square face and simple clothes walked forward and reported his name.
Then, he just stood there and waited. He had no intention of giving any gifts.
Seeing this, the skinny ghost took out the qualification certificate and the copper key from the bag and handed them to the fat ghost.
The fat ghost also threw the things on the ground as usual.
However, Li Liwei did not squat down to pick it up. Instead, he said to the fat ghost in an unfriendly tone,
"I refuse to be treated unfairly.”
Hearing his words, the fat and thin ghosts were stunned.
The remaining players were also stunned. Then, the few people behind began to gloat.
"I didn't expect there to be a good show."
"He's probably a rookie who thinks he's great just because he cleared the instance dungeon.”
"Second Master Fatty and Skinny is a malicious ghost with a green face and fangs. He's finished.”
The fat ghost revealed a sinister smile and asked Li Liwei,"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure that it's shameful for you to use your official position to gain personal gain.”
"My conscience does not allow me to compromise with you.”
"Even if I die today because of this, I can't disgrace my Qing…"
Li Liwei said sternly.
However, before he could finish speaking, the fat ghost, who had stopped smiling, made a move.
He opened his mouth, which gradually widened to a point that was completely out of proportion with his body.
In one gulp, it swallowed Li Liwei.
The sound of chewing entered the ears of the players, making them feel a little creeped out.
After swallowing the flesh and blood, the fat ghost wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
A red mark was left on her pale face.
"Bah, he doesn't have any netherstones on him. It seems like he just cleared the level.”
His body swelled up a little as he said in disdain.
He then looked at the remaining people with an arrogant expression.
"According to the rules, he has been sentenced to death for insulting the guards of the apartment.”
"Listen up, I don't care if you're honest and good officials, corrupt officials, or rich celebrities.”
"If you want to have a place to stay in the apartment, you have to leave something behind.”
"Here, the thin man and I are the heavens. You guys are tigers, but you have to lie down.”
"Next."
When it was Zhou Cheng's turn, Tang Qing, who was behind him, persuaded him to give him something again.
He nodded, indicating that he understood.
In his heart, he thought that he was just a green-faced and sharp-toothed person. He was not even comparable to Big Brother Dabao, and he still wanted to accept his gift.
Even if he agreed, Auntie Zhang would not agree.
Moreover, the netherstone was a good thing. He had to stay behind to increase his strength.
After all, he couldn't always rely on familiar ghosts in the future. He had to be strong.
"Zhou Cheng."
He calmly walked in front of the skinny ghost. After saying his name, he took off the blood-colored jade pendant from his neck and placed it into the bag.
Skinny Ghost habitually glanced sideways, and his eyes instantly sparkled.
"Cough, cough, cough."
After coughing a few times, he took out the qualification certificate and the golden key from another cloth bag and handed them to the fat ghost.
When the fat ghost saw this, he was a little surprised at first, but then he instantly put on a friendly expression.
"Young friend Zhou Cheng, take care of your qualification certificate and key.”
"The room is on the fifth floor of the apartment.”
Zhou Cheng received the item and smiled at the fat ghost.
"Don't be like this. I still like your unruly appearance before.”
"In addition, I hope you have the life to keep that thing.”
