Life Dungeon Game

He turned his head to look at the door, only to find that his old security door had been opened a crack at some point.
He vaguely remembered hearing the sound of a lock turning and a door being pushed open when he started the game.
However, the door was only opened a crack because He Ao had welded eight anti-theft chains onto the security door, each as thick as a thumb, and each cost as much as 168.8 yuan.
Although he is a law-abiding and good person, because he has done so many acts of bravery, quite a few people often want to "visit" his home. These people are usually very enthusiastic, carrying baseball bats, steel pipes, watermelon knives, and wanting to help He Ao "exercise" or cut his "watermelon".
Such a kind-hearted person, who was not good with words and was shy, naturally couldn't refuse these enthusiastic people, so he welded a few more security chains. As long as they couldn't get through the door, there was no need to refuse them.
Once this chain is on, even a strongman weighing over 200 pounds couldn't push it away.
He Ao walked step by step to the door and looked out through the gap in the security chain.
Since he sent almost all those enthusiastic people away, no one has come to 'visit' his house for a long time.
Ascending the stairs was a young man in a sharp suit, humming a cheerful tune, holding a brand-new pair of pliers that was still unopened.
He Ao could tell at a glance that the pliers he bought were too small and couldn't clamp his own security chain.
He glanced at his phone; it was 7:37 PM. More than four minutes had passed since he started the game, while he had been in the dungeon world for about an hour. Roughly speaking, the time flow ratio was more than 1 to 20. This difference in time flow was quite interesting.
At this moment, the young man in the suit also went up the stairs. He had just reached the front of He Ao's house and was about to unpack the pliers when he saw a pair of cold eyes appear through the crack in the door, staring straight at him like a lion scrutinizing its prey.
He was so startled that his hand trembled, but he quickly recovered and looked at He Ao with a smile on his face.
"Is this He Ao?"
As he spoke, he casually moved the still-unopened pliers behind him and tucked them into his pants.
He Ao glanced at him and slammed the door shut.
Then he glanced at the lock on the security door; it looked like the man had just unlocked his own lock and needed a new one.
hiss--
Another big expense.
"He Ao! He Ao!" The person outside started banging on the door urgently, shouting as they did so, "I have a big business opportunity, a very profitable one. Are you interested in learning more?"
He Ao immediately turned around, opened the door, and looked at the young man outside through the security chain. "Tell me about it."
Please add this to your favorites, recommend it, and keep reading! (Ahhh!)
Chapter 12 A Changing World (Please recommend and add to your favorites)
"Could you let me in first?"
The young man was somewhat exasperated by He Ao's slamming of the door, and tentatively pointed inside.
Let's just say it this way.
He Ao shook his head.
"There are too many people and too many eyes here..."
The young man spoke cautiously.
He Ao gave the young man an idiotic look and reached out to close the door again.
This is an old apartment building with only two units per floor. It's rare to even see your neighbors normally, so where would you find so many people and distractions?
"No, no, no."
The young man quickly reached out to try and block the door gap.
He Ao calmly squatted down and took out a slightly rusty small hammer from the corner behind him. He Ao would strike if the other dared to extend his arm.
Trespassing is illegal; his actions constituted legitimate self-defense.
Looking at the small hammer, the young man sheepishly withdrew his hand.
He had just unlocked the door and shone his phone through the crack to make sure no one was in the living room before going downstairs to buy pliers. Only a few minutes later, this kid suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
But this kid is really weird. The strange sense of oppression is too strong. He was full of energy just now, but after this, most of his momentum has been dissipated and he has been completely suppressed.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out two photos from his pocket.
He glanced at it; the top photo was his own, while the bottom photo seemed to be a girl's photo, but the angle was a bit reflective and he couldn't see it clearly.
The young man turned the girl's photo over and handed it to He Ao.
Um···
It's someone I know...
It's Liu Nan.
It looks like a candid photo.
The composition is not good, and the photo is a bit ugly.
The young man didn't notice He Ao's increasingly strange gaze. He smiled and explained, "Brother Ao, this girl is the daughter of the chairman of Wanhe Industrial. Although Wanhe Industrial isn't very famous in Xidu City, it's a top-tier conglomerate in the South. Her father is the richest man in the province back home. If we kidnap her, we can have as much money as we want."
He Ao's expression grew increasingly strange.
In the entire western city, who doesn't know that I, He Ao, am a law-abiding and good person?
"Brother Ao, we heard about you from the local brothers in Xidu City. They said you are the most notorious villain in Xidu, so we came here specifically to give you a huge fortune."
The young man became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, as if he had regained his confidence.
He Ao's face practically screamed, "Do you have many friends?"
Who tricked this idiot? He Ao's reputation as a good person is recognized throughout the entire Xidu underworld.
"Actually, we've already sent people to capture this girl," the young man chuckled. He didn't really know why this student was a notorious villain feared throughout the entire Xidu underworld. "They should have succeeded by now. All we need is for you, Brother Ao, to give us a hand and help us find a place to hide her..."
'Selling cold noodles~ Fragrant and sweet cold noodles~'
The ancient singing style interrupted the young man's words.
This is He Ao's phone ringing.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was an unknown number. After thinking for a moment, he hung up.
The young man saw that He Ao had hung up the phone and was about to speak again.
"Selling cold noodles~ Fragrant and sweet cold noodles~"
'
The ancient and simple singing style rang out once again.
The young man swallowed his words back.
He Ao accepted the offer this time.
"Is this He Ao? This is Liu Nan," a somewhat reserved female voice came from the other end of the phone. "I got your number from your classmate. Is there anything I can help you with? Am I bothering you?"
She was explaining why He Ao had just hung up on her. She was worried that He Ao might be busy, and she had originally planned to call him again later if she couldn't get through.
He Ao glanced at the young man standing outside the door. "It's okay. Sales calls usually don't come a second time, so I'll hang up on unfamiliar numbers the first time."
"what?"
Liu Nan was stunned for a moment, clearly not quite understanding.
"Is there a problem?"
He Ao asked quickly.
"Um... thank you so much for today... have you eaten yet... how about I treat you to dinner tonight? How about Qiuwushe Restaurant on Guang'an Road in the city center?"
Liu Nan found herself struggling to keep up with He Ao's pace, so she could only ask cautiously. She wasn't one to like owing favors, so she wanted to repay He Ao as soon as possible.
"Hold on,"
He Ao put down his phone, quickly opened the map app, and searched for "Looking for a House Restaurant".
The map shows that you can take Metro Line 6, transfer to Line 1, and then transfer to Line 3. The fare is six yuan and the journey takes fifty minutes. He Ao can get a 10% discount with his Xidu Metro card, which is five yuan and forty cents. It takes him about ten minutes to walk to the metro station.
The round trip takes two hours and costs a total of ten yuan and eight mao, while the cost of a bowl of pea and minced meat noodles downstairs is ten yuan.
loss.
So he decisively told Liu Nan on the other end of the phone, "No, it's too expensive."
"what?"
Liu Nan was dumbfounded for the second time.
“By the way,” He Ao glanced at the young man in front of him, “you should be careful lately.”
-
"what?"
Liu Nan didn't manage to say "ah" because He Ao had already hung up the phone.
"What did He Ao say?"
A girl with a milk tea straw popped out from the side.
“He said, ‘No, it’s too expensive,’” Liu Nan said, holding her phone and looking at the girl with a puzzled expression. “But isn’t it my treat?”
What else did he say to you?
The girl thought for a moment and then asked.
He told me to be careful?
Liu Nan recalled for a moment and said softly.
"I understand," the girl adjusted her glasses, "He likes you!"
Liu Nan: "?! ...
“Look, he said it was too expensive, he must be worried about you spending money, after all, housing is so expensive. He also told you to be careful, he must be worried about your safety, after all, you were almost attacked by bad guys today.”
The girl began her reasoning with a straight face, "Combined with what he said this afternoon, let me tell you, he's playing hard to get. I know this tactic all too well! Even though I've been single for eighteen years, I've read countless romance novels with this kind of plot..."
"!???"
Although it seemed to make sense, Liu Nan still felt something was off. Besides, weren't you only eighteen years old...?
