However, since it was a show flat, a discount was available. After some haggling with the owner, the price was settled at 55000 coins.

She also requested that five layers of thickened tempered glass be installed on the roof, so the final price remained at 60000 coins.

The boss was naturally happy to make money, but he was also curious about the girl's bizarre request.

"Young lady, even if the glass in my house has good light transmission, with six layers of glass in the roof, it still won't be as good as the current light transmission."

The boss emphasized that sentence.

Shi Jinwei's goal wasn't light transmission, so she nodded and watched the workers get to work.

Construction can be completed very quickly by simply adding glass to the top.

The boss guarantees it will be done in an hour.

As for why no more were added, the house also has a load-bearing capacity.

The boss recommended five floors, so she chose to follow the advice of the professionals.

However, I still bought ten extra 10-square-meter large glass panes.

These are all readily available, and the price isn't based on the cost of building a glass house. After negotiation, it cost 10000 coins.

If the roof glass gets corroded, I can still install it myself.

While the construction on one side was in full swing, Shi Jinwei was once again searching for unfinished buildings on the map.

Two locations have been decided.

The first one was delivered to the boss: a glass house.

The second one has an underground parking lot, so she can hide in the parking lot with a glass room.

Even if all the buildings above ground collapse and rainwater seeps through the ground, she can still survive underground until she clears the game.

However, if it continues to rain, we also need to consider the issue of flooding.

An hour later, the glass room was installed, and she gave the address of the first unfinished building to the boss.

I went there with the car.

The transport workers looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing the overgrown buildings.

Seeing that the girl looked calm, they didn't ask any more questions. They unloaded the items, collected the remaining payment, and left quickly.

After they left, Shi Jinwei put the glass room into her space and went to the second unfinished building.

Then, he stared at a dozen or so players hiding in the underground parking lot.

It's not fair to say their ideas are remarkably similar.

It can only be said that everyone thinks the underground is the best place to hide.

Seeing that the group had split into several small groups and occupied a corner, she turned and left.

There's nothing wrong here now, but if she takes out the glass room, things might be different.

It was already dark outside, and a light rain was falling.

Under the dim streetlights, pedestrians hurried along.

I also overheard two people complaining as they hurried along: "It rains acid rain every rainy season, it's so annoying."

"You should be glad we brought umbrellas today," the other person replied, quickening their pace.

Anxi City experiences a lot of acid rain every rainy season.

This acid rain looked no different from ordinary rain.

The acidity was the lowest, and none of the NPCs noticed anything unusual.

Shi Jinwei quickened her pace and booked a room for one night at the nearest hotel.

Since we encountered the NPC in the underground parking lot.

This means that many players are planning to hide underground.

Finding an unclaimed basement or underground parking lot is obviously unrealistic.

Many players even hide in the basements of shopping malls and residential areas.

So, I still need to rent a place.

You need to rent a house with a basement of 30+ square meters.

At least in the early stages, the chances of encountering other players are lower.

After taking a shower and having dinner, she took out her phone and started browsing rental listings.

They quickly found apartments listed by three real estate agencies.

The landlords are all overseas and they rent out the properties through an agency.

There's no need to worry about the homeowner showing up during these 20 days and causing trouble.

After arranging with the agent online to view the apartment the next morning, Shi Jinwei quickly fell asleep.

The rain still hadn't stopped early the next morning.

The weather forecast indicates:

The rainy season has arrived in Anxi City, and the next month will see either light or moderate rain.

Please bring rain gear when you go out, drive carefully, and give way to pedestrians.

Because the apartments she wants to rent are all quite large and expensive.

So the agent came to pick her up by car.

The woman, surnamed Qiao, is in her thirties, warm and talkative.

He kept talking the whole way, introducing all three houses to her.

A salesperson's words can fool even the most foolish person.

She let it go in one ear and out the other.

They soon arrived at the first villa.

The two-story villa was kept very clean.

Shi Jinwei didn't care about any of that; her target was the basement.

It's about 32 square meters and 2.8 meters high, which is the normal interior height of a building.

Her sunroom is over 3 meters high, so it won't fit.

The second option had sufficient height and a size of exactly 30 square meters, but we rejected that one as well.

Sister Qiao was not discouraged. After looking at the two houses, she could see the young girl's needs.

She pondered for a moment, then carefully asked, "Young lady, if you're looking for a place with a large basement, I have another one available. It's cheaper than a villa. Would you like to take a look?"

Hearing this, Shi Jinwei's eyes lit up, and she nodded.

Sister Qiao turned the steering wheel and immediately took Shi Jinwei to the house she mentioned.

This house is very dilapidated, so it wasn't listed online.

Sister Qiao hadn't expected the girl's needs; she thought she was just looking at villas.

But after looking at both houses, the girl mainly looked at the basement, so she asked her on a whim.

To her surprise, the girl nodded, and she was very happy.

The house wasn't expensive, but the commission was higher than that for a villa.

If it can actually be rented out, then it's a win-win situation.

After driving for about 40 minutes, we entered the western suburbs of Anxi City.

They soon stopped in front of a dilapidated villa.

Unlike the white villas I've seen before, this villa has a Chinese-style exterior.

Sister Qiao parked the car at the main gate.

Looking back at the girl's frown, he immediately explained, "Girl, don't be fooled by its single-story appearance and dilapidated look; it's actually quite nice inside."

He took out his keys, opened the door, and stepped aside to let Shi Jinwei go in first.

The interior is also decorated in a Chinese style, exquisite and elegant.

It possesses the grandeur and magnificence of traditional Chinese architecture.

The furniture was covered with dust cloths, which shows that the owner was thoughtful.

Sister Qiao showed her around the house briefly before taking her into the basement.

Unlike other basements, the door to this basement is a hidden door concealed within the wall.

It looks more like the entrance to a secret room.

Just like Sister Qiao said, this basement is big enough.

It is about 3.5 meters high and has an area of ​​over 40 square meters.

It's more than enough to fit a sunroom.

In addition, the way here was uphill the whole time, so even if there is flooding, it is safe here.

Shi Jinwei was very satisfied, but after asking about the price, she was even more surprised: "Are you sure it's 3000 coins a month?"

This is cheaper than a regular house.

She was afraid there was something fishy going on.

Sister Qiao coughed awkwardly: "Girl, to tell you the truth, someone died in this house before..."

The house itself is located in the suburbs, and there are no other houses within a 1-kilometer radius.

Its geographical location limits its price.

Adding to the fact that someone died in the house, the difficulty for the homeowner to rent it out is ten stars.

Sister Qiao brought the person over with a try-it-and-see attitude.

Shi Jinwei: "...A murder case?"
