This bat cub looks very weak
Chapter 18: What should you pay attention to when buying a house in Gotham?
"How about this one?" Xiaojia asked Bugi Pop.
"It's too old. It collapsed when I punched it." said Bugsy Pop as he looked at the house with several pieces of paint falling off.
So they changed houses.
"What about this one?"
"It's too humid. Look, there's a nest of rats here." This house is close to the sewer, the environment is very humid, and there is also a foul smell.
"Okay, change."
Another
As soon as the two entered the room, they heard indescribable sounds coming from next door, then indescribable sounds coming from the next door on the other side, and finally indescribable sounds coming from upstairs.
"Haha, the 3D sound effect is very good!" Buji Pop smiled slightly.
"For Dorothy's physical and mental health, I decided to change to another one." Xiaojia covered his face.
Another family
"Three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, an underground storage room, and a small attic. It's in a fair state of condition. What do you think?" Xiao Jia said to Bu Ji Pop while looking at the blueprint.
"Hmm..." Buji Pop was silent for a moment. She walked around and looked around. The room had all the basic furniture, all covered with white cloth with some dust on it.
"Just don't mind people dying." Unlucky Pop said this at last.
"Of course I don't mind. After all, I am in this line of work and I am friends with the dead." Xiao Jia shrugged indifferently.
"Oh, then we may really have to make friends with the dead in the future." Bu Ji Pop smiled at Xiao Jia.
"Hmm?" Xiaojia always felt that there was an indescribable meaning in Unlucky Pop's smile.
Finally, they bought this house. It is far from the city and faces the river. The area is very quiet, the house has good sound insulation, and there are few residents around. There is almost no power here.
"So cheap?" Xiao Jia murmured as he looked at the price he paid.
"That's right." How could a haunted house not be cheap? Unlucky Pop didn't say the last part of the sentence because she was afraid of scaring Xiaojia.
The stuff inside is quite old.
[I bought it! It's only 13, quite cheap.] Dorothy looked at the message sent by Xiaojia, and then looked at the photo sent by Buji Pop.
Dorothy looked at the photo sent by Unlucky Pop and fell into deep thought. Then she checked the location of the house and its previous owners on the Internet.
[Hmm... You guys are pretty awesome...] Bought a haunted house...
"What does Dorothy mean by this?" Xiaojia looked at the words Dorothy sent and always felt that Dorothy had something hard to say.
"Nothing, let's go clean up first. Dorothy finishes school at two o'clock today, and her third brother finishes school at four o'clock. She said she wants to go to the mall with us to buy some furniture." Bu Ji Pop looked at the schedule and said.
"Okay." Why do I always feel like you two are hiding something from me?
[Side Mission 5: Find a safe house.] Completed
[Task Reward: A pot of healthy succulent plants and a talisman to ward off evil spirits and protect the house.]
"PS: Succulents have a calming effect, so remember to water them occasionally. If they wilt, they will be useless."
"PS2: It can ward off evil spirits and suppress all evil things. It is a must-have item for living in a haunted house. I wish you good luck!"
Dorothy twitched her lips when she looked at the task rewards. This system is really user-friendly. What you get will come to you.
"Thank you for the compliment, host!"
"..."
During lunch break, Dorothy and Tim talked about the school time in the afternoon. Today, Dorothy's class was dismissed early. Originally, Dorothy and Tim were going to finish school together. Tim had planned to let the driver take Dorothy home first. However, Dorothy told Tim that she would wait for him to finish school together, and she would go to the school library to read for a while.
Tim didn't think much about it and told Dorothy not to run around. After all, in Gotham, children from wealthy families have basically experienced kidnapping, let alone the Wayne family's children.
Of course I agreed obediently in front of Dorothy.
After school, Dorothy said goodbye to Tim and ran to the library, but she turned a corner and went to the back door of the school. Xiaojia and Unlucky Pop were waiting for her in the car. When Dorothy went there, the two were playing games together on their mobile phones.
The car was just bought, so the phone was naturally just bought too.
With the system, there would be no shortage of money. Dorothy did not use the card given by Bruce, not because she was embarrassed to use it, but because she did not want Bruce to check what she bought. However, if she went public, she would still use it.
Of course you still have to maintain your own account.
Moreover, Dorothy had saved a lot of money over the years. After all, Dorothy knew how to use a computer, write programs, and take on tasks, which still made her a considerable amount of money.
"Akutagawa doesn't even have a cell phone, but you guys bought the latest model first." Dorothy said helplessly as she got in the car and looked at the two of them.
"Don't worry, I've bought Akutagawa-kun's portion as well." said Buji Pop. She was wearing a thin beige sweater today, paired with a dark red miniskirt, nude boots, and a beret on her head.
Xiaojia was dressed more casually, in a grey hoodie and black overalls.
Seeing that both of them were playing games, Dorothy did not rush them, but asked them to finish this game first before leaving. However, Xiaojia's skills were too poor, so he had to hand the phone to Dorothy to play for him.
In the end, Unlucky Pop and Dorothy cooperated to win the victory.
Xiaojia drove away feeling depressed.
"By the way, why did you buy a haunted house? Was it because I didn't pay enough or are there no good houses in Gotham?" Dorothy suddenly remembered the house.
"What! A haunted house?" Xiaojia slipped and slammed on the brakes, almost getting rear-ended by the car behind him.
"Drive carefully... There are many lives involved here..." Dorothy said quietly.
Xiao Jia was startled when he heard Dorothy's words. What does it mean by many lives?
"There is a magic circle in the basement of that house. It should be a summoning circle of some kind. But there are no monsters. It's just that the negative energy from the other world keeps pouring out. But if we leave it alone, the creatures from the other world may come to this exit after a while and break through the seal to come out." said Bu Ji Pop.
"As for why it's called a haunted house, I checked the previous owners of the house. They either died or went crazy. The survivors had no choice but to sell the house in a hurry, and the cycle repeated over and over again." Dorothy gave her own conclusion.
"That house has been eroded by negative energy all year round, and occasionally a few monsters might crawl out from the inner world and fight wits and courage with the people in the house. Those monsters can only stay in that house and cannot leave. After a long time, they will crawl back on their own." Bu Ji Pop also added a sentence.
"Then... can I check out?" Although Xiaojia is not afraid of monsters, he is afraid of ghosts, especially the real ghosts.
"If you think you can still get through to the real estate agent on the phone, then return it." Bu Ji Pop said with a smile.
"Don't worry. The system just gave me a reward, a house-guarding talisman. I think it should be able to seal the formation. I'll give it back to you to try. If that doesn't work, I can draw a few." Dorothy said indifferently.
"...You...can draw?" Xiaojia found it a little unbelievable.
"I may not be talented, but I am omnipotent~" Dorothy smiled at him.
"hehe……"
Because Xiaojia is a product of the system, his language knowledge resonates with Dorothy's thoughts, so he can understand some of the things Dorothy says, and the same is true for the other vests.
"What are you planning to buy? Why can't you buy it directly through the system? It's too troublesome running back and forth." Xiao Jia parked the car and looked at the two people standing next to him.
"You need points to buy into the system, little fool. Instead of buying those furniture, you might as well buy props to save your life when the time comes." Bu Ji Pop said silently to Xiao Jia.
"I once had a host who used his points to buy a pair of sunglasses before a mission began, saying that he wanted to show off. Sunglasses were not expensive, only 1 point. When the mission was about to end, the target suddenly wanted to die with him and self-destruct. According to the level of damage he was going to cause, I gave him a life-saving card, but he was only 1 point short..."
"So he's dead?"
"No, because he doesn't have enough points, he can only buy a card of a lower level. He is still lying in the hospital bed and is half paralyzed."
"His family in that world has already prepared to euthanize him. He should just go to reincarnate obediently in the end."
"Uh... " Dorothy's face was full of disgust after hearing what the system said.
"Go buy bed sheets and quilt covers first, then buy some daily necessities, and then buy some kitchen and sanitary products. But Xiaojia, you live in that house most of the time, so you should think more about yourself." Bu Ji Popo said after thinking for a while.
"No need, I am upright and incorruptible." Xiaojia smiled widely.
"Hehe...as long as you are happy."
Dorothy happily walked towards the mall hand in hand with Unlucky Pop. As for why they came to the mall, there was one reason, that was to go shopping. The main reason why they brought Xiaojia along was because they needed someone to carry the bag.
The Wayne family is made up of men, so how could they go shopping together? Dorothy and Tishia had never gone shopping together, and Dorothy had never gone to school, so naturally she had never made any friends, although she didn't mind that.
