Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 124 The Disguised NPC in a Bizarre World (2)

However, whether it's fifty or sixty, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are now penniless. Well, it's not exactly penniless; they've earned exactly 15 energy points since they entered, and that's with the combined contributions from the other players and the strange entities.

"Um, what if we don't have enough Ghost Coins to stay at the inn?"

The one asking the questions was the cheerful Cao Bo, and Boss Huai didn't seem surprised at all.

"It's alright. If the guests don't have enough money, they can use locust flowers as a discount. Each pound of locust flowers costs 6 Gui coins. Each of you just needs to pay 10 pounds per day."

Cao Bo turned to look at the locust tree outside, which was covered in abundant blossoms, and expressed his gratitude. Immediately, another voice rang out.

"Boss, you gave us keys for double rooms, but I saw that the description lists prices for single rooms. Can I just choose a single room?"

Cai Wei looked up at the hotel owner. Between the black mask and the black brim of the hat, a pair of dark and bright eyes made it clear that she was a beauty, a great beauty, without even taking off the mask!

"I'm sorry, sir, all our single rooms are full. All the rooms left are double rooms."

Cai Wei was not surprised by this answer at all, but were there really other customers in the store?

With the room fee issue resolved, the remaining question was room allocation. After some negotiation, it was decided that Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu would share a room, Cao Bo and An Qing would share a room, Wang Ming and Zhang Liang would share a room, Cai Wei and Du Xiuxiu would share a room, and Chang Shuo and Chen Kuo would share a room.

After assigning rooms and taking their keys, everyone went up to the second floor together. The stairs from the first to the second floor looked very old, covered with dark brown stains, and creaked when stepped on.

The second floor wasn't very big. There were rows of rooms of the same size on both the left and right sides. Ji Han silently counted them. There were twenty rooms in total. Ji Han and his group's room was near the stairwell, from 201 to 205. He and Shi Shaoyu drew room 204.

Upon opening the door, a musty, rotten smell filled the room. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu waited a while before entering one after the other. The room was cleaner than they had imagined, and the sheets and blankets looked freshly changed. To the left of the room was a three-in-one bathroom, toilet, and shower room, with a wet and dry separation in the middle.

If you ignore the gray sky outside the window, this room is a pretty good one that you can book for a typical tourist trip.

After locking the doors and windows, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu finally had time to discuss their backgrounds.

"You go first, I'm usually just average anyway."

Ji Han gestured for Shi Shaoyu to speak first, and Shi Shaoyu nodded.

“I am a native of G City. My family is not a business tycoon or a military and political family, but he has been a descendant of many generations of people who have benefited from land expropriation since childhood.”

"The Shi family has some luck with land expropriation. At first, his ancestors just fenced off a piece of land, intending to raise chickens and sell eggs and chicken meat. Who knew that as soon as the land was fenced off, it was demolished, and the ancestors received a large sum of money and several houses."

“After receiving the demolition compensation and the house, my ancestors did not become arrogant. They always remembered their original intention and used the money to acquire an even larger plot of land elsewhere to continue raising chickens. However, just as the factory buildings were completed, the land was slated for demolition again.”

"And so, they bought and demolished along the way. By the time this ancestor passed away, he still hadn't managed to open a chicken farm. So the old man's son decided to carry on his will and also started raising pigs on his land."

"I don't know if the Shi family has some kind of karmic connection with the livestock industry. Anyway, the old man's son followed in his father's footsteps once again. Wherever he raised livestock, the land was demolished. Of course, this only applied to pig farming. Raising chickens was fine. So before he passed away, this son finally gave up raising pigs and opened a chicken farm."

"Next came raising ducks, geese, cattle, horses, donkeys, and even cats and dogs. Generation after generation, even the original owner, Shi Shaoyu, didn't know how much money, land, or houses his family had. Anyway, his family had a special group that was in charge of these houses and land."

Ji Han... He's tired of saying the word "envy." Some people struggle their whole lives and still end up going nowhere, while others are truly born into privilege.

"So, what kind of pet do you want to raise in your generation?"

Shi Shaoyu's face immediately turned red.

"The Shi family's genes are amazing. There's a moment when you suddenly want to raise a certain creature. For the previous twenty years or so, the original owner didn't have anything she wanted to raise, but I... I want to raise you."

Ji Han!!!

"Shi Shaoyu, don't tell me that every time we buy a house, one of them will be demolished. Wouldn't we have to move every day?"

Shi Shaoyu coughed awkwardly.

"It's not that you'd buy it and then demolish it, but it's probably impossible to live there for decades. The longest the original owner's ancestors waited was fifteen years before the area they had designated was demolished."

Forget it, Ji Han decided not to dwell on it anymore. After all, this was a virtual world, and the two of them didn't know when they would leave, so there was no point in worrying about it.

"My background is very simple. The original owner also lived in S City and was a native of S City for generations. His family had always lived in the city center and had not experienced such frequent demolitions. His ancestors were ordinary people. They had enough to eat and drink, but they were not very wealthy either."

"The Ji family does not have many descendants; it can be said that they have only one son for generations. His parents died in a car accident last year. The white-haired people sent off their black-haired son, and his grandparents' health collapsed instantly. The original owner was a college student. After handling his parents' funeral, he still had to come back every day to take care of his grandparents."

"In order to reduce the burden on their grandson and to receive better care, the Ji family grandparents moved to a nursing home, so the original owner can now be said to be 'all alone'."

After exchanging background information, the two began to explore this strange world again. They clicked on a diamond-shaped icon on their wrists, which brought up their respective information panels.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu compared their stats. Everything else was fine, but Ji Han was quite indignant looking at his luck stat, which was a huge zero, and Shi Shaoyu's, which was only 5 days.

"System, come out here. We started from the same point, so why is Shi Shaoyu's luck value so much higher than mine?"

The Godly Rich System didn't really want to pay attention to Ji Han, but it still couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark at him.

"Host, if you're lucky enough, how could you be innocently caught in the crossfire and become bound to me? Besides, you should be content. Your panel still shows the Luck stat, which most players don't even have."

"Oh, right, and also, don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary during missions, I'm very busy."

Ji Han stared at the grayed-out icon, speechless. This system wasn't helping its host with tasks; it was just busy with random things all day. He was determined to find the system complaint button and write a 10,000-word complaint!

Shi Shaoyu looked at the increasingly lively Ji Han and chuckled as he patted his hair.

"Alright, Ahan, don't listen to the system's nonsense. We are both incredibly lucky, otherwise how could we have met, and how could we possibly be together?"

If anyone else had said something so cheesy, Ji Han would have gagged, but when Shi Shaoyu said it, his ears turned bright red.

"Well, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's see if there's anything else we haven't found yet."

After saying that, Ji Han started randomly scrolling through his task panel. They didn't find any missing information, but the system's so-called storage compartment was only one cubic meter, which was incomparable to the permanent space they were bound to. So the two decided not to bother upgrading or expanding the storage compartment.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock, Xiao Ji, Xiao Shi, the innkeeper says it's lunchtime. If you want to eat, hurry up and go down to eat."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, thanks!"

Hearing a response from inside, Zhang Liang went to knock on the next door. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu exchanged glances. Being new to the place, they certainly wouldn't eat the hotel's food. In fact, they each kept a separate box in their game storage compartment, just in case there were any forbidden foods inside, so they could secretly move the items to their storage compartments.

The two replenished their food and water inside the house before leisurely going downstairs.

"Xiao Ji, Xiao Shi, come quick! I thought you weren't coming down for so long. Come over here, there are two empty seats here."

"We ate quite a lot this morning, so we're not very hungry yet, and we didn't think about coming down. But then we heard you guys having a pretty lively discussion down there, so we came over to join in the fun."

Upon hearing Shi Shaoyu's reply, the innkeeper, who had come out carrying food, instantly lost his smile, but then, as if remembering something, he smiled again.

"Dear guests, your food is served! You must try our signature locust flower rice and locust flower drink. Two guests who came out late, please wait a moment while I refill your locust flower drink. It's a must-try for any guest staying at the hotel!"

The manager ignored Shi Shaoyu's refusal and quickly served each of them a cup of locust flower drink. Only then did Ji Han realize that out of the ten people in their group, only four had ordered food: Wang Ming, Zhang Liang, and the young couple. The rest of them, like Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, all had a cup of locust flower drink that had been forcibly placed in front of them.

After putting down the last two cups of acacia flower drink, the shop manager did not go back to the kitchen or behind the counter. Instead, he stood by the table and stared straight at Ji Han and his group. Ji Han and his group knew that this was to put pressure on them, making sure they drank the acacia flower drink.

"What? Are the guests dissatisfied? Why aren't they drinking? If they don't drink, they can't leave the table today!"

The shop manager's once chubby face slowly turned sinister, his ashen skin devoid of any color, his bulging eyes began to ooze blood and tears, and his limbs began to rot, as if he would pounce on anyone who refused to drink.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu exchanged a glance. Fortunately, they had changed into loose-fitting jackets when they went downstairs. They used the large sleeves to cover the cups and quickly moved the locust flower drink into the storage compartment just before they were about to drink it.

At first, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were worried that the store manager would get angry after discovering their mistake, but to their surprise, he just glanced at the two empty cups, gave them a meaningful smile, and then turned to watch the next person drink.

Using their exceptional mental abilities, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu observed that of the ten people who drank the locust flower beverage, only the couple actually did. They were certain the shopkeeper had noticed they hadn't drunk it, but for some reason, the shopkeeper pretended not to know anything.

After lunch, a man of average build and appearance, wearing a tour guide vest, walked into the shop. His timing was perfect.

"Hello everyone, I am your tour guide for this tour of the Flower Town. My surname is Huai, you can call me Huai Er. Now, please get ready, we are about to set off."

No one was surprised by the tour guide's arrival, since the town mayor had mentioned that the tour guide would be coming in the afternoon.

"Guide, is everyone required to participate in the afternoon's activities? If not, we two have something to do and would like to ask for leave in advance."

"Everyone must participate in the activities on the first day!"

With no other option, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu could only do their best to protect themselves, and with their pre-prepared backpacks on their backs, they set off with the main group.

Just like in the morning, they walked and stopped frequently. Every now and then, Shao Yu would greet the "natives" he knew and didn't know, hoping to speed up their collection of faith.

The town of Prosperous Flowers is characterized by its abundance of flowers. Ji Han initially thought Huai Er would take them to various flower gardens, but to his surprise, Huai Er took them directly to the largest shopping mall in the town center.
