Terraria: The Digitalized Me Is Causing Chaos

Chapter 175: Pig Cage Village with Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers

The residents of Pig Cage Alley are all ordinary people struggling below the poverty line.

Even third-rate gangs, let alone the Axe Gang, look down on this kind of place, so it has become one of the few pure lands in the city.

After getting out of the car, the cries of vendors never ceased.

Various vendors selling vegetables and fruits set up stalls at the entrance of Pig Cage Alley.

Various poultry wandered around on the road unconstrained, not at all afraid of the surrounding people.

Yang Tao's descent from the car had already attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, but after all, this was a big city, so everyone just curiously sized him up before getting busy with their own affairs again.

Arriving at the breakfast shop, Yang Tao sat on a stool, and the owner, who was kneading dough, immediately greeted him with a smile, wiping the flour off his hands with his apron and asking:

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Looking at the menu hanging there, Yang Tao said with a smile: "Bring me a bowl of your signature beef porridge and three fried dough sticks."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

With business coming in, Yang Wulang's smile became even brighter, showing none of the aura of a martial arts master.

In the world of Kung Fu, the gap between martial arts masters is very large. People like Yang Wulang, Hong Xiguan, and Coolie Qiang, who live in Pig Cage Alley, are all considered to have cultivated external martial arts.

Although their strength is not bad, they are completely outmatched when facing masters who have refined their internal energy.

Looking at the somewhat dirty table, Yang Tao didn't care too much. You shouldn't pursue too much in this kind of fly restaurant, as long as the taste is good.

Yang Wulang quickly brought a bowl of meat porridge and placed it on the table, then turned around to the oil pot to take a bamboo plate and put three fried dough sticks and a small dish of pickles on it.

"Sir, enjoy your meal!"

After saying that, he prepared to turn around and leave to continue kneading dough.

Yang Tao said with a smile: "Boss, do you have time? Can we chat?"

Yang Wulang was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted, still with a polite smile on his face.

"Sir, what would you like to chat about?"

Yang Tao pointed to the empty stool in front of him and said: "Sit down first."

As he spoke, he picked up a chopstick and took a bite of a fried dough stick.

The taste can only be said to be average, but the texture is quite good, which should be related to the boss's dough-kneading technique.

"Since you want to chat, and I'm not busy anyway."

At this moment, it was already past eight o'clock, and this time was past breakfast time for the people living in Pig Cage Alley.

Yang Tao raised his head and gestured to a closed door not far away. On the wall beside the door, there was a red piece of paper hanging.

Two large characters were written on it with a brush.

【For Rent】

"Boss, how much is the rent here per month?"

Yang Wulang followed Yang Tao's gaze to the house with the 'For Rent' sign in the distance, then said with a smile:

"Guest, the rooms on the first floor are more expensive, basically 10 yuan a month. If people live upstairs, it's 8 yuan a room."

This price made Yang Tao feel a little emotional.

Although the Landlady's mouth is very poisonous, she is really a good person, and the rent is really cheap.

You should know that Jiang Bao's haircut costs five jiao once.

Moreover, there are still many residents who are struggling and cannot afford the rent. The Landlady's words are harsh, but she has not driven anyone away.

Yang Tao knowingly asked: "Who do I need to find if I want to rent a house?"

Hearing that Yang Tao was preparing to rent a house, a hint of kindness was revealed in Yang Wulang's smile, maybe they would be neighbors in the future.

In this day and age, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, especially for people living in places like the shantytown, where they almost always huddle together for warmth.

"Just find the Landlady, all the houses here are hers. I'll give her a shout for you later."

Yang Tao nodded, watching Yang Wulang stand up and shout towards a closed window upstairs.

"Landlady!!"

Bang, the closed window upstairs was pushed open forcefully, and before the figure could be seen clearly, a voice came out.

"Fried dough stick, what are you yelling about early in the morning? Don't you know it's immoral to disturb people's afternoon nap?"

Looking at the familiar Landlady, the smile on Yang Tao's face became even brighter. In Kung Fu, the Landlady...no, everyone's image is very vivid and leaves a deep impression.

Yang Wulang looked at the Landlady with a cigarette in her mouth, and his expression became very ingratiating as he said: "Landlady, someone wants to rent a house."

Hearing that someone wanted to rent a house, the Landlady's expression straightened, and she slammed the window shut. A burst of hurried footsteps sounded from the building, and soon the Landlady came down the stairs in her pajamas and slippers.

With a cigarette in her mouth, she scrutinized Yang Tao sitting on the stool.

Very young and very handsome.

But no matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like someone who has come to Pig Cage Alley to make a living.

Yang Wulang bowed slightly to the Landlady and greeted: "Good Morning, Landlady."

The Landlady waved her hand impatiently and said: "Good your grandmother's head, you still have to pay rent even if you're polite."

But she only said one sentence and continued to focus her gaze on Yang Tao.

"You're the one who wants to rent a house?"

Yang Tao stood up and said with a smile: "That's right, I want to rent that one over there."

Pointing to the house with the 'For Rent' sign, the Landlady glanced at it and said: "Okay, 10 yuan a month, electricity is at your own expense, understand?"

Yang Tao nodded and put his hand into his pocket.

He directly took out two 20-yuan bills and handed them to the Landlady.

The Landlady's originally tense face immediately revealed a smile, and she took the banknotes from Yang Tao's hand and said: "Very good, you're much better than some people at first glance."

"You eat first, I'll have my husband take you to see the house later."

Yang Tao nodded lightly and watched the Landlady twist her plump body towards the stairs, then he sat back down on the stool.

This time, Yang Wulang didn't think about going to work, but instead sat back on the stool and started chatting with Yang Tao.

"Brother, what kind of business are you planning to do renting a house on the first floor?"

Two yuan a month seems like a small difference, but for people like them living at the bottom, it is still a considerable expense.

"Don't worry, I'm not opening a restaurant."

Yang Wulang chuckled twice.

Soon, the Landlord, smelling of alcohol, was chased down from upstairs by the Landlady. Under the Landlord's lead, Yang Tao familiarized himself with the house and received the key to the room.

Looking at the dilapidated house, Yang Tao couldn't help but want to renovate it.

"I need to tidy it up, dig a tunnel to the underground, and move two NPCs over, so I can use the crystal tower."

The pickaxe made a bang bang sound on the ground, but in this noisy Pig Cage Alley, it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Yang Tao did not expand the underground space, so even if he farms monsters, it will not affect the ground above.

Putting the new underground crystal tower in the NPC's room, Yang Tao clapped his hands and thought:

"The Destroyer has been killed, so the New Third Ore should also be opened from the box. I should upgrade my equipment first, so I don't get targeted by the Twin Eyes of Cthulhu and the Mechanical Skull again…"
