Chapter 52 Face-to-face
Leaving Sorrow: “Well, I just came to Suicheng and I don’t have a place to stay yet.”

An Yi briefly introduced himself to the other party.

He didn’t know many people. After leaving Hengpu and without Brother Hua’s care, he came to the huge Sui City alone. The people he could trust were his friends in the game…

A delicate flower in my house: “Hehe! You’ve asked the right person! Our school is one of the best universities in Guihuagang. There are many old residential areas around it, and the price is really not expensive…”

Li Baijie held the phone in his hand, typing quickly with his fingertips flying.

“Osmanthus Harbor?”

At this time, An Yi also opened a certain map and checked the location.

This Blue Speed ​​Internet Cafe is located in Yuexiu District of Suicheng. It is not far from the Guihua Port mentioned by the other party, only three or five bus stops away.

“It’s a residential area in the university town. There’s no problem with food and accommodation. As for transportation? I’m just a homebody…”

An Yi started to think.

Finding a rental house near the school is indeed a good choice, with cheap food and accommodation… After all, this place can be regarded as the largest urban village in Guangzhou.

“The village in the city is the village in the city… Which migrant worker who comes to the big city to work doesn’t live in the village in the city first?”

An Yi made up his mind.

Because, he searched for a high school affiliated with a certain Cantonese university and found that it was not that far away…

An Yi pushed the keyboard under the screen and then flattened the backpack.

He fell into a sound sleep with his backpack as his pillow.

……

Early the next morning.

An Yi woke up hazily and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

“It’s half past six. I’ve recovered from my fatigue… I can still play for a while.”

Seeing that it was still early, he decided to log in to the game.

I didn’t expect that when I looked, the entire server was gray and the game was under maintenance.

“DNF will undergo routine maintenance at 10am on October 2…”

After opening the official website of the game, An Yi took a general look at the specific updated content.

In addition to removing some Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake vending machines, a new gift package was launched in the mall.

“Flying Sun Chaser Set!”

When An Yi saw the fashion picture, he immediately became excited.

In the picture, the five current professions are each wearing a set of dragon-patterned tiger-skin costumes, which is very Chinese mythological style.

The Ghost Swordsman’s Sun Chaser suit and the wolf head hairstyle with his hair pulled back.

The sharpshooter is wearing the Dragon Soaring Suit and carrying a Hou Yi longbow.

The priest’s tiger leap suit is covered with tiger skin.

The fighter’s flying suit is a bit like the fairy Chang’e flying to the moon.

The magician’s moon-chasing suit looks like a flower fairy, delicate and lovely.

“Emm, the sale date is October 10th, and the price is 7 points, a little expensive…”

An Yi couldn’t help but complain in his heart.

There is no concept of “Golden Autumn Gift Pack” or “Spring Festival Gift Pack” in DNF now.

In terms of design and appearance, this set of Dragon Chaser is not as outstanding or fancy as the later ones.

But because it is the first fashion gift pack in the history of DNF and has never returned, it is rare and is highly sought after by players.

“Let’s see what happens. Let’s talk about it after we sell the inheritance…”

An Yi felt his pocket and found that he was really short of money.

Even though I still had more than 2400 yuan on me, after deducting rent and some daily expenses, it could only last me one or two months.

Computers are the biggest expense, and this expense requires throwing away the inheritance in hand…

Looking at the dim sky outside the window, An Yi got off the computer and walked out of the Internet cafe.

After casually eating a rice roll at a breakfast shop, he took the crowded early morning bus and headed all the way to Guihuagang.

Get off at the stop.

The tree-lined streets are filled with students who appear to be in their teens or early twenties. Some are holding books, while others are riding bicycles with bags on their backs. They are all in a hurry, making people feel their youthful vigor and vitality.

“Uh.”

An Yi was a little dumbfounded.

Because of his age, carrying a backpack and walking to this station, he is no different from them.

But he knew in his heart that they were the flowers of the motherland and the future pillars of the country…

Looking at myself, I have already entered society.

“Hello, Jiaohua? I’m here…”

An Yi took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

On the other end of the phone.

Li Baijie glanced at the mobile phone number on the bedside table and suddenly lost all desire to sleep.

“Hey, Great God…are you here? Okay, okay, wait for me there!”

After saying that, Li Baijie hung up the phone, jumped up from the bed, and quickly got up to wash up.

“Brother Jie, are you going to the cafeteria? Remember to pack me some fresh meat noodles…”

The roommate lying on the upper bunk was half asleep and mumbling something.

They have been in military training for a whole month! Now that it is the National Day holiday, they are pretending to be dead in the dormitory.

Whoever gets up first at this time will be the recognized godfather in the dormitory…

“No time! Anyone who hasn’t gotten up yet is a worthless bastard, a parasite of society, and a piece of rotten fish or shrimp!”

Li Baijie was too lazy to deal with a bunch of good-for-nothings, so he put on his clothes and went out.

An Yi squatted outside the gate of Suicheng University, watching the people coming and going.

A young man of medium build, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, with hair that was a little deformed and fluffy, probably because he didn’t blow dry his hair after taking a shower last night, was looking around while talking on a cell phone. “Hey, Master, where are you?”

“Behind you.”

An Yi answered the phone and waved to the other party.

The two looked at each other from a distance, surprised.

“You are, the God of Sorrow?”

“A delicate flower?”

The two met and smiled at each other.

“Yes, my name is An Yi.”

“Li Bojie.”

Li Baijie chuckled and suddenly said shyly, “I didn’t expect you to be so young, Master. Hmm, a little handsome… By the way, buddy, how old are you?”

“In a few days, it will be exactly nineteen.” An Yi replied with a smile.

“Huh? I’m bigger than you?”

“Then I’ll call you Brother Jie?”

“No.”

The two of them just exchanged a few brief questions and then became familiar with each other.

Although An Yi thinks he has a cold personality and is polite to strangers, he is actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside to people he is familiar with.

On the other hand, Brother Jie looks like an ordinary college student, honest and decent on the surface, but he is actually a sultry guy.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen an ID like ‘A Beautiful Flower in My Home’ on the Internet.

“Brother Yi, what kind of house are you looking for…”

Li Baijie casually bought some soy milk and fried dough sticks from a roadside stall to fill his stomach, and asked, “There are several colleges and universities in Guihuagang. There are not only faculty and staff dormitories nearby, but also many rental houses in the local Tiandi Building, and some older residential areas…”

The two walked and talked, and he introduced the surrounding situation.

Guihuagang is considered to be the old city district of Suicheng. It is far less crowded with tall buildings than the new city district, but it also has an advantage, which is that the rent is cheap.

There are even quite a few daily rental houses around here. Their function, as the name suggests, is for daily use.

“What are the prices?”

An Yi listened to the other party’s talk calmly, thought for a moment, and said, “It’s best to have a quiet environment around you, not too noisy… Of course, the important thing is to have an Internet connection.”

He put forward some of his own requirements. After all, it is troublesome and expensive for individuals to pull network cables now.

Just a 2M telephone line would probably cost thousands of dollars, which is not affordable for the time being.

“I understand!”

When Li Baijie heard this, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

For a DNF master, not being able to access the Internet is worse than death.

Although he didn’t ask what the other person did, he could guess a little.

The two of them went to small advertisements in some residential areas or on telephone poles and started making phone calls.

The first one I called was asking for a small studio of 40 square meters for 800 yuan, and it was from a second-hand agency.

The second one was a private apartment with an asking price of 400, and the two of them made an appointment to go and see the room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw nothing but simple facilities, a bed, a table and a cabinet… An Yi thought it was okay.

But he was pulled out of the door by Li Baijie.

“Damn it, this guy is too shady, I can’t rent him.”

“Why can’t I rent it? I think it’s OK.”

Those are actually all An Yi requires for a house.

“You don’t understand. That unscrupulous landlord would definitely tamper with the electricity meter. There’s not even a window in the house, just a balcony…”

Li Baijie explained: “But even so, they installed an air conditioner with a yellowed shell. When the north wind blows in the winter, the room is like an ice cellar, and when it gets hot in the summer, the room is like a steamer. You have to turn on the air conditioner!”

“…”

An Yi was speechless. He really hadn’t thought about all the details involved.

Although Brother Jie is a freshman, he knows more than him.

“Hehe, my sister told me everything. I specifically asked her last night…” Li Baijie chuckled.

The two had no choice but to keep looking.

“Do you smoke?”

Li Baijie took out a packet of golden leaves from his trouser pocket and handed it over.

“I don’t smoke.” An Yi shook his head.

“Nothing, it’s a good habit. I’m not a heavy smoker…”

Li Baijie lit up a cigarette and said, “My dad told me that a man can choose not to smoke, but he must know how to smoke…”

The two of them almost walked around the university and made no less than five or six phone calls.

Came to an old neighborhood.

An Yi looked around and saw that the community seemed to be built in the 1980s and 1990s. The environment was very good and there was very little traffic.

Seeing this, Li Baijie walked up to the small gate and asked politely, “Uncle, is there any house for rent in this community?”

The security guard was wearing amber reading glasses and studying the “Nanfang Morning Post” in his hand. He looked up and glanced.

When Li Baijie saw the old man studying the special code and smelled the scent of an old smoker, he quickly threw the remaining half pack of Golden Leaf to the security guard.

“Well, both Unit 4 and Unit 2 have them…”

The security guard was pleased to see that the other party was so sensible, so he took out a phone book from the drawer.

“Hello, Aunt Zhang, I’m a student living nearby. Do you have a house for rent?”

An Yi called the number according to the phone book.
