Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

[You have applied to become a resident of room 009527 and are awaiting approval...]

[Tip 1: If you become a resident, you will never regain your freedom and will never be able to own a room again unless the landlord actively removes your resident status.]

[Tip 2: No matter where you are or what methods you use, you cannot harm the homeowner.]

[Tip 3: The host has the right to allocate and use all your resources, and can also freely access your inventory and control panel; you cannot refuse.]

Looking at the three notifications that popped up in front of her, which were even worse than a contract of servitude, Jiang Lai felt somewhat distressed.

This is no different from the slaves of the old society.

No, they were even less free than slaves.

Because if slaves dared to take up arms, they could rebel against their slave owners.

But once she becomes a resident, she will never be able to harm Chen An.

The residents don't even have the ability to regain their freedom on their own!

This was truly a high-stakes gamble!

I just hope Chen An isn't the kind of two-faced guy...

Jiang Lai had mentally prepared herself before agreeing to become a resident.

Even if Chen An really wanted to force himself on her.

She accepted it.

This was her own choice.

If you can make a choice, you can also bear the consequences of that choice.

As long as Chen An isn't some kind of pervert...

Her bottom line is losing her virginity and becoming a tool.

But I can't be abused, and I don't want to die.

at the same time.

A notification also popped up on Chen An's side.

[Application number 009538 has been submitted to become your resident. Do you agree?]

【hint……】

His hints were similar to Jiang Lai's.

However, he was the beneficiary.

Chen An was satisfied after reading the prompt, so he clicked "agree" directly.

[Your room now has a new resident. You can now access the resident's panel and inventory simply by thinking about them.]

"Using bread and a backpack? Does that mean I have six extra compartments in my backpack?"

Chen An's eyes lit up.

He was initially worried that his backpack wouldn't have enough compartments.

After all, he gets so many supplies every day.

If there is no backpack.

This tiny 10-square-meter room simply couldn't hold all his supplies.

"Sir, may I now demonstrate your talent?"

Jiang Lai spoke with a slightly joking tone.

As she spoke, she plopped down on the recliner, lying flat and exclaiming, "It's so soft! It's so much more comfortable than the cold floor. I slept on the floor all night yesterday, and I feel like my back and neck are going to break..."

Chen An did not mind that the recliner was occupied for the time being.

After all, he had been lying down for a day, and his energy was still at full capacity.

We can ask for it back when we have time to rest.

At the same time, he was generous and showed his panel to Jiang Lai.

As for exposing the secret?

I'm not afraid at all.

Because they are now one.

As long as he doesn't let Jiang Lai leave, Jiang Lai will have no choice but to depend on him.

Therefore, it's impossible for Jiang Lai to betray him.

not to mention.

His talent rewards him with different resources every day.

If he wants to hide some powerful and valuable things in the future, he can simply not show them to Jiang Lai.

"Unrivaled... Wow! Chen An! Your talent is way too overpowered!"

Jiang Lai, who had been lying down, was so shocked by Chen An's talent that she almost jumped up.

"Outrageous! How can someone have such incredible talent?"

"This kind of talent shouldn't even exist..."

"And this is only the first-level effect."

If it's this strong at level one, how strong will it be after upgrading?

Unbelievable.

"It is indeed a bit excessive, but not excessively so."

Chen An explained, "After all, the output of my talent is related to the total number of people in the community. The fewer people there are, the less reward I get. Moreover, the reward is completely random. If I get things like toilet paper or toothpicks, it's practically useless."

His talent certainly had an element of luck involved.

If useful supplies keep appearing like they have these past two days, then it's truly terrifyingly powerful.

But if it's something useless, then it provides almost no benefit.

Chen An may have starved to death in his room.

After all, there are just too many kinds of things in the world.

The variety of miscellaneous items among them is countless...

"You make a good point."

Jiang Lai nodded, then stared at him and said, "But Chen An, you're also very lucky. You got bread on the first day, and fresh water, which is essential for survival, on the second day."

"Speaking of which, you wouldn't happen to be one of those protagonists from novels and TV dramas, would you? Or do you have a system?"

"..."

Looking at Jiang Lai's curious face, Chen An smiled helplessly.

"Reality isn't a novel; there's no system here. As for the concept of a protagonist, I think everyone is the protagonist from their own perspective."

As he spoke, he glanced at the gold coin balance in Jiang Lai's backpack.

Then I couldn't help but frown.

"You wasted those 5 gold coins upgrading the door yesterday."

The level 2 door was dismantled without even being used.

The gold coins are not returned.

Huge loss!

"If I had known you were this talented, I would have definitely clung to you yesterday."

Jiang Lai pouted.

"You seem to know quite a bit of internet slang."

Chen An subconsciously looked at Jiang Lai.

I originally thought this rich and beautiful girl who drives a Ferrari to school was different from ordinary people.

But as he got to know them, he found that they were actually quite similar.

There were absolutely no communication barriers.

They can use internet slang without hesitation.

"My family is just rich, it's not like I live in another world. I surf the internet all the time, so your view of me is just too biased."

Jiang Lai smiled gently.

She also discovered that Chen An was not a sinister figure.

At least not yet.

They didn't treat her badly just because she became a resident.

but……

This guy didn't seem to be very close to her from the start.

Always maintain a distance and vigilance.

Even when we were disassembling the door, he showed absolutely no intention of helping.

Jiang Lai felt that if they were truly in mortal danger, Chen An would definitely abandon him without hesitation.

But strangely enough, she couldn't bring herself to blame anyone.

After all, this is only human nature.

Their feelings for each other weren't deep enough for them to risk their lives for one another.

It should be said that there was absolutely no affection between them.

In Chen An's eyes, she was probably just a tool.

"By the way, when I went downstairs just now, I heard quite a few residents preparing to search for supplies outside the community. It seems that the area outside the community is an area worth exploring."

Jiang Lai began sharing intelligence.

"Oh? We can explore outside the residential area? And find supplies there?"

Chen An was a little surprised.

He originally thought that all residents could only move around within the community.

It seems he was wrong.

If you can venture outside the residential area to explore, then this survival game will be quite extraordinary...

Sure enough, staying in the room still yielded too little information.

Just as Chen An and Jiang Lai were talking, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

Someone stopped at the door and then knocked.
