After saying that, Zhou Cheng no longer had any intention of talking to the fat and thin ghosts.
However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood at the side and waited for Tang Qing behind him.
Knowing Tang Qing's situation, he wasn't worried at all.
What a joke, she was a little rich woman who could easily take out three netherstones.
Even in the past, he rarely saw such wealthy players.
Of course, it was also possible that the players in the past knew the principle of not revealing their wealth.
Unlike this silly little girl who casually took it out.
He could see it clearly from where he was.
The few players behind the team stared at Tang Qing, who was walking in front of Skinny Ghost.
The greed in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
"Tang Qing."
After saying her name, she placed her small hand into the cloth bag in front of Skinny Ghost.
When he pulled it out again, the cloth bag instantly bulged a lot.
However, this time, Skinny Ghost didn't even peek at the things in the sack.
He quickly took out Tang Qing's qualification certificate and a golden key from another cloth bag and handed them to the fat ghost, as if he had already found them.
The fat ghost took the things and looked at the cool-dressed but eccentric girl in front of him. His eyelids couldn't help twitching.
He rubbed his hands unnaturally and said in a slightly fawning manner,
"Little friend Tang, this is your qualification certificate and key. The room is still the same as before.”
"Thank you."
Tang Qing said softly, but a trace of unnoticeable coldness flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Fat Ghost, who wanted to say something, instantly shut up and called the next player over.
"Waiting for me? Uncle, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to me?"
Walking to Zhou Cheng's side, Tang Qing returned to her previous unruly appearance.
"You? Forget it."
"He's still a child."
Zhou Cheng heard her teasing and pretended to size her up. Then, he shook his head in disappointment.
"You!"
Feeling Zhou Cheng's gaze, Tang Qing was a little flustered and exasperated. She could not help but slap his arm.
"I'm a little rich woman. If you don't hug my thigh now, you won't have a chance in the future!”
"Okay, okay, okay. I beg you to protect me.”
Zhou Cheng smiled and played along with her joke.
Then, he turned around and walked to the dilapidated apartment on the other side. He had been curious about what it looked like inside.
Tang Qing stomped her feet a few times in anger and immediately chased after him.
Skinny Ghost, who was at the side, took in all of this and gave Fat Ghost, who was at the other side, a look.
Fat Ghost shook his head.
Skinny Ghost understood and continued to do his job with his head lowered.
He was even muttering something about how playful he was.
……
In the dilapidated apartment.
Zhou Cheng walked carefully on the wooden stairs that creaked as if they would break at any moment.
He could not help but frown, sighing that the conditions were a little too difficult.
"Be content. After all, this is a horror game. You can't possibly ask to stay in a five-star hotel, right?”
Tang Qing, who was following behind, looked as if she was not surprised. Looking at Zhou Cheng's expression, she immediately guessed what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, you and I both have a room with a golden key. The conditions are pretty good.”
"That's good."
Zhou Cheng's expression softened a little.
After all, whether it was when he was working in the various instance dungeons or in Auntie Zhang's Bloody Slaughterhouse two days ago, his living conditions were not bad.
Moreover, he was a bit of a clean freak and could not accept a messy room.
"By the way, what did you give the fat and thin ghosts? You actually made them give you the golden key.”
"To tell you the truth, I've been here many times, but I've only seen the golden key less than five times.”
Tang Qing quickened her pace and approached Zhou Cheng, asking curiously.
Zhou Cheng felt a faint fragrance coming from behind him, dispersing the unpleasant smell of decay in the air.
He subconsciously slowed down and revealed his position beside him.
Intentionally or otherwise, he would let Tang Qing stand side by side with him, or even let her surpass him.
"It's nothing. It's a gift from an acquaintance.”
Zhou Cheng didn't explain the origin of the blood-colored jade pendant and just brushed it off casually.
This was the experience he had gained after so many years of hard work.
He had to be on guard against anyone.
Even though Tang Qing had expressed her goodwill to him before and even planned to help him.
He couldn't trust Tang Qing completely just like that.
"However, they should be coming to find me soon.”
Zhou Cheng seemed to have thought of something interesting, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Hey, uncle, your smile is so greasy.”
Tang Qing, who didn't seem to notice Zhou Cheng's small movements, quickly overtook him and walked to the front.
At this moment, he turned around and looked at Zhou Cheng with disdain.
"Also, can you walk faster? Don't you know that it's impolite to walk behind a girl on the stairs?”
"But I'm wearing pants today. Uncle is going to be disappointed, hehe.”
The smile on Zhou Cheng's face suddenly stopped.
"Alright, uncle, we've reached your floor. I'm still upstairs. Bye bye, don't miss me."
Tang Qing saw that Zhou Cheng's forehead seemed to be filled with black lines and nodded in satisfaction.
While reminding him to go to the floor, she waved goodbye to him.
Without waiting for his reply, she ran upstairs with brisk little steps.
"This little girl doesn't match her appearance at all.”
Seeing Tang Qing disappear in the blink of an eye, Zhou Cheng shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He found a room on the fifth floor and opened the door with the golden key.
What greeted his eyes was a rather luxurious room. The cleanliness of the room was also very good.
Even he, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness, could not find any fault with it.
"Not bad."
He closed the door, walked to the bedroom, and lay down on the soft bed.
"Judging by the time, the fat and thin ghosts should have come to find me.”
"After all, the thing that Auntie Zhang gave me is not something that other people and ghosts can easily touch.”
Knowing the background of the blood-colored jade pendant, he was not worried that he would not be able to get it back. He even hummed a familiar song.
"Spit out what you ate and return what you took…"
