I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 16 Housing Issues
Lin Yuan struggled for a while, recalling what she saw in the last dungeon. She guessed that the players on the killing line should be a minority, so she held out her left hand: "Here, here."

The woman looked down at Lin Yuan's arm, and the blue badge flashed twice.

The two stars shone brightly, and the woman's face softened.

"My name is Leah."

The receptionist took the initiative to show goodwill, and Lin Yuan looked at him.

Leah has flaxen hair braided into two pigtails, and her dressing style is very different from others.

At least in Lin Yuan's country, such people are rarely seen.

...someone who looks like an NPC.

"You must have encountered a kill line player in the last dungeon, right?" Leah asked sympathetically.

Lin Yuan nodded gently without blushing or beating his heart.

Leah comforted Lin Yuan for a few words before introducing:

"The Sailing World was created by countless Sailing Line players. Every time you complete a dungeon, this world will become a little bigger."

"More and more players are pouring in, and some bad apples have emerged, namely the kill line players."

Speaking of this, Leah's face became solemn.

"The purpose of the Kill Line players is to hinder the expansion of the sailing world. Their only means is to kill people. They affect the sailing process by hunting down the sailing line players."

"They are bloodthirsty, insidious, cruel, have bad intentions, hide among the huge player community, and are naturally opposed to our world."

Lin Yuan slowly tilted his head, feeling that there was something wrong with this statement.

How could she not know that she had a great destiny against the world?
Why am I being labeled with so many derogatory terms just as I start to popularize scientific worldview?

The game world is called the Sailing World, which can be connected with the meaning behind the blue badge.

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked what was on his mind: "You guys?"

Leah addresses the players as "you guys".

Although Lin Yuan only said two words, Leah understood what she meant and explained diligently: "I am not a player, I am a native of the sailing world."

……

After some scientific research, Lin Yuan roughly understood it.

In the mouths of the indigenous people and sailing line players, the game world is simply called the sailing world to suit the occasion.

Sailing players are actively or passively building a sailing route.

Navigators open up routes, killers destroy them.

There has been a group of indigenous people here since the birth of the maritime world.

Because the indigenous people live in a sailing world, they are naturally close to sailing players and look down on destructive and killing players.

Lin Yuan really wanted to see the so-called sea route, but unfortunately Leah told her that as an explorer of the lowest level of navigators, she had no right to appreciate the sea route.

"Next, I will briefly introduce the four urban areas to you." Leah took Lin Yuan out of the Resurrection Square.

Lin Yuan glanced at the panel quietly and saw the coordinates changed.

【Star City·Dongcheng District】

"Dongcheng District is a wealthy area. Only those with 10,000 gold coins are eligible to live there. It is generally not for explorers, but for adults from Sun and Moon City." Looking at the magnificent gate of the villa area, Leah didn't dare to move forward.

While chatting along the way, Lin Yuan learned from Leah that gold coins are the universal currency of the City of Stars. They are distributed at a one-to-one ratio with experience points after each copy is completed.

But what is Sun Moon City?
Lin Yuan asked.

"It's a place that's higher than the Star City. Players who are five-star explorers or above will live there." Leah answered, unwilling to go into too much detail. "If you're lucky enough to reach that level, you'll understand."

A teleportation aperture appeared, and Lin Yuan arrived at the next location.

【Star City·Xicheng District】

Neon lights flashed and exaggerated music played non-stop.

Leah's calm voice rang in her ears.

"Xicheng District is an entertainment district, a place of decadence and debauchery. You should know what I mean. What kind of place is that?" Lin Yuan nodded, not quite understanding.

Leah couldn't help but remind her: "Don't come to a place like this alone."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly and disagreed.

Although the receptionist probably didn't mean to look down on her, Lin Yuan still felt that sooner or later she would be able to defeat him with her strength.

The aperture flashed.

[Star City·South City District]

"The South City area is where the indigenous people live. If no one guarantees the player, the player cannot enter."

It seemed like she had come to a familiar place. Leah had a happy expression on her face. Perhaps she was in a good mood. She spoke excitedly.

"The branch of the Inquisition in Star City is also in the South City District."

Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "What is the Tribunal?"

A smile appeared on Leah's lips, and her eyes revealed admiration:

"They exist to maintain law and order, but they are mainly there to protect the indigenous people. They won't interfere in the players' affairs."

Lin Yuan said "Oh" and stopped talking.

Finally arrived at the last city area.

【Star City·North City District】

"This is where most players live." Leah said, "You can go into the house in front to check in."

Lin Yuan said goodbye to Leah, hesitated for a moment, and said thank you to Leah in an awkward manner.

She walked into the housing registration office empty-handed. Inside, a thin, sloppy man was leaning comfortably on a rattan chair with his feet resting on the table. His socks had holes in them.

Lin Yuan subconsciously wanted to pinch his nose.

"New here?"

The thin man put down his cigarette and looked at Lin Yuan with narrowed eyes.

This person doesn't have the NPC vibe of Leah, so Lin Yuan concentrates on dealing with him.

"Ah."

"Oh, you're so cool. Just call me Brother Xu." The man casually took out a bunch of keys from the drawer and placed them on the table.

"A doghouse is 100 gold coins a week, a shack is 200 gold coins a week, and an ordinary bungalow is 1000 gold coins a week." Brother Xu pointed his toes at the ceiling without caring about his image.

Lin Yuan's eyes twitched and he said, "Rent a house..."

She raised her face and asked seriously, "Are you serious about living in a doghouse and a shack?"

Brother Xu sneered, put his feet down, stood up, and touched his chin: "I'm just kidding, but the price is real."

"This is the price set by the Tribunal to assist the indigenous people. I dare not lie."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuan blinked: "Are you a player?"

Brother Xu rolled his eyes: "I'm not a player, why should I live..."

The word "doghouse" that was about to come out of his mouth rolled around in his throat. Brother Xu swallowed it with difficulty and changed his words to "Beijing District Primary Housing."

"You can choose whether to stay or not. Everyone is like this anyway."

Brother Xu had a hint of annoyance between his brows and sighed: "You are a one-star explorer who just cleared the first dungeon, right?"

Lin Yuan said yes.

Brother Xu's face was even more worried. "No way. Generally, NE players can get 100 gold coins for clearing a level, and you can get dozens of gold coins by playing around with other things. A D rating can add another 10 to 20 gold coins."

"There are only a little over a hundred gold coins in total. After paying the rent, the new official players will not have much gold coins left for living."

"You are so pitiful." He sighed.

Lin Yuan thought about his 2,200 gold coins in savings, his eyes looking odd.
