Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 261 Hundreds of Square Meters of Real Estate

With a thought, Chen Ye walked up to the house, summoned [Fire Sun Prayer Scroll], and instantly blasted open the door with sacred flames!
I saw a series of human figures being lined by puppets, hanging on the beams of the house, like drying sausages.

Their eyes were closed, their breathing was weak, their bodies trembled sometimes, and they entered the nightmare in a strange way.

Under them, lay a puppet with a strange shape...

The puppet's expression was strange, and its eyes suddenly fell on Chen Ye, staring at him, bloodshot eyes filled with resentment.

next second.

The figure hanging above the puppet suddenly began to howl.

Their cries seem to have a special infectious power.

The moment the crying sounded, Chen Ye suddenly felt an involuntary desire to cry in his heart.

However, when he had this desire, he suddenly found that his control over the body suddenly dropped, and the joints of the bones of the body, like rusty mechanical parts, began to become stiff and jerky, losing the flexibility of the past , becoming extremely stuck and difficult to control.

Using his spiritual power, Chen Ye took a deep breath and immediately restrained this desire.

"no!"

"You must not be assimilated by crying..."

"If you cry together, you will be controlled by these puppets and lose the initiative..."

Just concentrating his thoughts, relying on the majestic spiritual power like the ocean, Chen Ye immediately restrained the desire to cry, held the [seal scroll] in his hand, and prepared to seal these puppets together.

Bang bang bang!
At this moment, the puppets burst open.

The outline of the figure hanging above, and the privacy above the head, suddenly cracked and fell down.

The dark veins turned into blooming thorn flowers, covering the faces of these figures.

They raised their heads, their eyes were bloodshot, their eyes were full of madness and confusion, holding umbrellas, crutches, chef's knives and other knives, they surrounded Chen Ye, exuding a strong evil spirit.

However, this evil spirit was only a little rushed.

But in the form of the image of luck, the moment he got close to Chen Ye's body, he couldn't invade at all.

Chen Ye smiled slightly and said, "Don't you think that with this puppet-like ability to be manipulated, you can pose any threat to me?"

As soon as the words fell, these manipulated figures immediately slashed like crazy with knives.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw these figures, all connected by dark and deep chains, obviously being manipulated.

of course.

With this level of control, he couldn't even use his characteristics, so it was naturally difficult to threaten Chen Ye in the slightest.

You only need to use your professional identity of the combat department to make a quick decision.

boom!boom!
Turn on [Execution Form]!
Chen Ye's two hands transformed into [Devil Scissors] that could cut everything.

In mid-air, the gloomy and pitch-black knife light, with a mysterious and unpredictable luster, flashed to both sides.

The weird lines were instantly cut off.

Together with the lines controlled by these players, all of them were cut off.

The figures suddenly lost their balance, collapsed to the ground, and lost their ability to move.

The moment these figures fell to the ground, the chains of black mist surrounding them suddenly burst apart, like puppets with broken strings.

The black mist gradually dissipated, and the image of luck returned to nothingness, with no sky blue or dark yellow colors.

Means these players are all dead.

Although they can still retain a weak self-awareness when they are controlled, they will die immediately when the chain of control is lifted.

"Is it just a one-time prop?" Chen Ye frowned slightly.

He originally wanted to wait for these players to recover, and maybe he could ask for some valuable information, but he didn't expect that cutting off the contact would only make them usher in the end of the game earlier.

at this time……

Click!Click!There were several cracking sounds from nearby houses, and the entire ground became more and more unstable.

Boom! ! !
The surrounding concrete walls suddenly burst open, and the entire house collapsed, trying to bury the place.

Chen Ye was agile, and he immediately used the characteristics of the [Wanderer's Boots] to step ten meters, and in just a few blinks, he left the collapsing house behind him.

The gravel collapsed and the dust was flying.

In the blink of an eye, the house was reduced to ashes.

However, a new golden contract was suspended in front of Chen Ye.

"Spend 100 million copper coins to buy a real estate with a radius of [-] square meters?"

Chen Ye's eyes fell on the golden contract, and his expression moved slightly.

Unexpectedly... Relying on the characteristic of "seeing the wind to make the rudder", and cooperating with the pupil of luck, looking for the source of the puppet talk, the speed of collecting real estate is quite fast.

It didn't take long before they found a real estate with a radius of [-] meters.

At the price of [-] copper coins per square meter, this store has a total of [-] square meters, and it needs a sky-high price of one million copper coins to unlock it.

Chen Ye just put the contract into the volume of mountains and rivers, looking at the price above, he could only click his tongue secretly:

"The price of this real estate is too expensive. It actually needs a million copper coins. It seems that not all real estate can be purchased at the cabbage price of 20 copper coins."

"Wait... 20 copper coins doesn't seem like a cabbage price. Most players probably don't have so much savings now."

"I don't know what kind of special items will be rewarded for the stage mission of [Big Real Estate Household], the difficulty is so high..."

"Let's save the land deed for this area for the time being and unlock it later."

Chen Ye withdrew the contract, but did not unlock it immediately.

Even if he has personal assets of millions of copper coins, that's not how he spends his money...

The area in front of me is located in the old city, and the nearby buildings have been reduced to [abandoned shops] under the display of [Scarlet Character Research], and the flow of people is sparse. Most of the strange stories and legends in the pedestrian street basically come from here.

Not to mention it's night, even in broad daylight, there won't be too many people in the old town.

Therefore, spending millions of copper coins to unlock such a piece of real estate has almost no effect except for a larger area, and it is difficult to have any commercial value.

Stores like restaurants are most suitable for opening in places with a lot of traffic. Even if the taste is not very good, it is a one-time business, but with the blessing of traffic, there will be more or less customers and revenue.

The truth that the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley does not work in the strange era.

After all, in this world, if you really go to the "deep alley", what you will be greeted is not some fine wine, but a strange tale of death.

The current players have also learned to be good, and they will not go where there are many strange stories.

Opening a restaurant in this place is tantamount to wasting time, and may cause a lot of trouble for myself.

Therefore, Chen Ye just chose to stay with this golden title deed, and did not immediately contract it.

This is also considered a characteristic item.

As long as it is not used, it can be used for transfer and transaction.

Maybe in the future, when I need something, I can put it in the [Strange Black Market] and replace it with the goods I need, and then it can also play a corresponding value.

no more...

By the end of the month, if I have enough savings, I can also spend it all at once, exchange it for real estate, and get the tasks of this month's stage.

After putting away the real estate contract, Chen Ye used the pupil of luck to lock the black chains at the end of the chain.

There must be the source of the puppet talk!
Following these clues, Chen Ye walked along the roads of the old town.

On both sides of the field of vision, the old buildings, like low houses, flew towards the side at the speed of Chen Ye's [Wanderer's Boots].

Soon, his figure came to the street where the cobweb-like telephone poles were scattered, and he turned a corner, and with the help of the remaining crimson moonlight in the sky, he could see the scene of the road clearly.

This is an old industrial area. Most of the shops sell hardware. The decoration style of the shops is very wild and rough. They are covered with iron sheets, giving off a sense of industrial style.

at the end.

An ugly puppet stood guard beside the dark cave, its empty eyeballs suddenly rolled and landed on Chen Ye's body, with a strange smile on its face.

That cold wind of evil spirit, blowing over, became even more dangerous.

It was as if there was an invisible knife against Chen Ye's back, ready to stab in at any time.

Chen Ye frowned slightly.

To be honest, this feeling... this kind of gaze... being stared at by this kind of guy is not a comfortable thing.

In the depths of the shop, something extremely dark was brewing, as if something was waiting for Chen Ye's arrival, playing a game of inviting you into the urn, as long as you entered, you would encounter great danger.

Of course, Chen Ye would not go in casually. He came here this time just to confirm the situation.

Anyway, he has the pupil of luck, if he is in danger, he should leave early.

However, the current signs of luck are mainly concentrated in the depths of the store, dominated by dark mist, as if something was slowly born inside...

But Chen Ye wasn't too scared. If something evil was born from it, it would take time to settle.

He came here this time just to check the seriousness of the matter.

Chen Ye rubbed his chin, and combined his experience along the way today with the luck of the puppet factory for analysis:
"From the current point of view, the source of danger brewing in this shop cannot be underestimated, but it has not reached the point where it cannot be dealt with."

"These puppets... seem to rely on the way of controlling the players and absorbing their personal consciousness as the source of the factory's operation."

"After all, the original movement methods of these puppets depended on [Puppeteer Master]'s control characteristics of neurosilver, but the existence behind the scenes of this strange talk obviously does not have such characteristics."

"If you want to control these puppets, you have to use other methods."

"Recently, there have been frequent puppet tales on the pedestrian street, and the series of incidents that the girl in the insomnia rescue center encountered. I am afraid that this is the strange tale. In order to manipulate the puppets, the puppets are used as a pollution medium, so that the players who come into contact with the puppets are affected. Mental pollution..."

"This seems to be related to the mind control of the [Spirit World] sequence..."

"The controlled player's consciousness will run into the puppet, as consciousness energy, used to trend the puppet's physical activities, and act as free labor in the factory."

Realizing this, Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, and had a different judgment on this incident.

Except for these shops affected by strange stories...

I am afraid……

In this pedestrian street, there are still many players who are controlled by puppets by accident, gathered in these abandoned houses, hanging from the ceiling like sausages, always burning with self-consciousness, as the fuel for the operation of the factory.

"If I can find and destroy all these houses that gather sleeping players like today, wouldn't it be possible to gradually put away the old city?" Chen Ye's eyes brightened slightly, as if he noticed A road that can not only get [big real estate household], but also increase the income of this month's asset list.

At present, the problem in the old city is that most of the shops and houses are in a state of being abandoned. Although there are some players living around, but the number is very small, and the activity is very low. Even the neighbors are afraid. It is difficult to find someone living next to it.

But if Chen Ye takes down the entire old city and develops it into a scale similar to that of a pedestrian street, the flow of players will inevitably increase.

As the biggest landlord in the old city, wouldn't he be able to use the huge real estate to build an economy and use it as a bargaining chip to fight against Shenli Yinghua, who is second in the list with few flowers and first in the list?
The answer to the version of this month's asset rise list has actually been written on the faces of Hua Shao and other top players on the list.

Other than Hua Shao, An Ye, Tang Wu, and others could make it to the list...

They all have huge resources in their hands, which can be replaced so as to continuously accumulate rising assets for themselves.

Chen Ye felt that he also had to think about this aspect.

At present, the old city that appeared in front of me, combined with the characteristics of Puppet Talk, obviously, there is an opportunity!

at this time……

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the puppet factory.

At this moment, he saw hideous chains spreading across the pedestrian street like spider webs.

"These chains... should all correspond to shops affected by Puppet Talk?"

Chen Ye's mind moved, and the moment he saw these signs of luck, he immediately made a judgment and saw the clues.

His eyes brightened slightly, and he realized that there was obviously a chance to be found inside.

"Since these shops correspond to real estate, as long as they are marked down, there is a chance."

Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately connected the black fog chains he saw to the ends, and marked them with special symbols on the [Wanderer Map].

When it gets dark next time...

When I arrived at the pedestrian street again, I went to browse these properties.

It was almost dawn, and Chen Ye planned to make a quick trip to Xijiang to go fishing there.

In addition to the phase tasks of [Large Real Estate Owner], fishing is also required.

This will not only increase assets, but also have the opportunity to get special items!
soon.

Chen Ye's figure appeared on the wharf beside the Xijiang River.
