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

"Yes, these ornaments change their appearance every five levels, becoming more and more exquisite each time. They not only provide boosts, but are also pleasing to the eye."

Huo Ling'er happily explained to Alice.

She found it quite novel when she noticed a change in one of the ornaments.

Even in the first two days after she arrived, she was shocked by the way Chen An spent money in his room.

It's incredibly simple and straightforward.

After being influenced by what she saw and heard for a while, she became more composed.

Spending money is also more relaxed.

The attributes have been significantly improved.

"So that's how it is. What an amazing ornament, it's like a magical world."

Alice exclaimed in amazement, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

It seems that everyone's experience in the apocalypse is very different.

For some people, even getting food is a problem.

Some people can not only eat fresh vegetables, but also upgrade the decorations in their homes at will.

Chen An stepped forward, placed his hand on the angel ornament, and checked its information.

Angel figurine

[Level: lv10]

[Effect: When placed in a room, the homeowner's Intelligence attribute increases by 11%, and the Intelligence attribute of all residents increases by 10%]

[Not decomposable]

Upgrade Requirements: 1350 Gold Coins, 24 White Runestones

[Introduction: Dear Master, you don't need to turn around to confirm; the angels will always be loyal to you!]

The angel figurine still features a noble and composed description.

Although she sometimes made sarcastic remarks about the succubus figurine, she mostly expressed her loyalty.

"As expected of a money-devouring beast, it really knows how to spend money. Upgrading again will cost thousands of gold coins."

The egret said with a light laugh.

However, they've gotten used to the speed at which they spend money on decorative items.

I'm just venting now.

"It's much cheaper than the arrow tower downstairs, but arrow towers are more work for the capable."

Jiang Lai affirmed.

A tower that can take on a monster boss single-handedly must be some kind of pushover.

"You're all right. Each upgrade costs a lot of gold coins, but they're all effective, and that's enough."

Chen Andao.

He doesn't care about gold coins.

They only care about the effects they bring.

"My husband is so generous! He's willing to invest in anything, even just a decorative item, as long as it's something he can afford."

Bai Lu curled her hair with one hand and drew circles on Chen An's chest with the other.

Her voice was incredibly soft.

The other girls narrowed their eyes slightly as they looked at Bailu.

"I have a feeling that Sister Bailu is about to take off the landlord's clothes any second."

Chu Lexiao muttered to herself.

She felt that if Xiaoyu and the others heard her say these words so openly, they would definitely be shocked.

She also felt that she had become more and more outgoing since joining the room.

They've become much bolder in their speeches.

However, it does feel quite nice.

Jiang Lai agreed, "Indeed, that's what reputation is all about."

She looked at the egret.

He then reached out and pulled her away.

"Speak properly, why are you always hitting me? You're corrupting the most innocent girl in our house."

"Oh dear, I'm just helping her grow up early. Look how well Xiaoxiao is integrating with us now."

As Bai Lu spoke, he jokingly took all the credit for himself.

"Tch, stop patting yourself on the back!"

Jiang Lai saw through her little scheme and retorted without thinking.

"It's that time of year again when they bicker; it's practically a regular occurrence in our house."

Huo Ling'er said, but the light in her eyes proved that this scene was indeed interesting!

One complains, the other is shameless.

They were like a pair of bickering lovers.

However, only Jiang Lai and Bai Lu knew the truth.

All of this is for the sake of vying for one identity—the true sister-in-law of this room!

Chen An sat on the bed, his left leg crossed over his right, watching the two women argue with a smile.

The two women were arguing when they caught a glimpse of Chen An out of the corner of their eyes.

The next second, Jiang Lai and Bai Lu exchanged a 'tacit' glance, then stepped forward and sat down next to Chen An.

The egret, skilled through practice, stumbled into Chen An's arms before it had even fully settled down.

So, she first occupied most of Chen An's body: "Honey, look, my older sister is saying I didn't do well again. I feel so sad."

"You vixen! Stop lying through your teeth. My dear saw the whole thing. I just told you not to corrupt your sister. She was so quiet and well-behaved when she arrived, and now you've influenced her like this!"

Jiang Lai, using Chu Lexiao's personality as a springboard, continued to "attack" Bai Lu.

Chu Lexiao puffed out her cheeks, looked at the egret, and then at Jiang Lai.

It turns out she was involved too.

However, she did not say anything.

As the saying goes, when two older sisters "fight," everyone else suffers.

After Jiang Lai finished speaking, she gently shook Chen An's arm and said in a sweet and coquettish tone, "Darling, look at her, she's just talking nonsense."

Her eyes were very soft when she spoke.

She only showed this expression to Chen An.

Upon hearing this, Chen An also felt it was time to end this farce.

He smiled, pulled them both into his arms, and stroked their cheeks with his thumb.

"You two really aren't tired, why don't you both have some water and rest?"

Chen An avoided the main issue and did not mention who was right or wrong.

It would be better to treat everyone equally.

Besides, he's not a judge, so he's too lazy to distinguish who's right and who's wrong.

"I am indeed a little thirsty. My husband really cares about me."

"Pshaw, darling, you're clearly just concerned about me."

Jiang Lai and Bai Lu remained unwilling to yield to each other.

However, they did take out a bottle of water at the same time.

Just then, Jiang Lai had an idea. She glanced at Bai Lu, then handed the water bottle to Chen An and said weakly, "Honey, my wrist is a little sore from holding the tablet all day. Could you help me turn it on?"

She didn't really like this approach before.

But with a sly fox like Bai Lu in the room, and so many other female residents, she still needs to develop in many ways.

Using magic to defeat magic isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Chen An saw through her little scheme.

However, since I had nothing else to do at the moment, I decided to spend some time with her.

"Thank you, darling, you're so kind."

Jiang Lai smiled and drank half a bottle with satisfaction.

"Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that? Big sister's methods are amazing, she's truly surpassed her teacher!"

The egret smiled and said.

Chen An looked around and saw that the mermaid figurine had the shortest countdown, with 21 minutes left.

In response, Jiang Lai suggested, "Honey, how about we go see a movie? By the time we finish watching it, they should all be upgraded."

Upon hearing this, Chen An thought for a moment.

A movie is one or two hours long. If you choose a movie that is about two hours long, the upgrade time of the room door can be connected at the same time.

Maybe you can go straight to sleep after watching it.

"Okay, everyone, relax a bit."

Chen An readily agreed.

Two hours later, the movie ended.

Bai Mengjie walked to the door of the small bedroom, exhaled, and raised her hand to knock.

"Chen An, Jiang Lai, the movie is over. Would you mind coming out to check on the upgrades to the doors and windows?"

Bai Mengjie listened carefully to the reply inside.

Instead of a clear response, I heard a soft, whimpering sound—

"Hmm~"
