Chapter 2 Almighty Manor

Zhuang Buyuan worked overtime until after nine o'clock in the evening.

At noon, the supervisor was not satisfied with the modification request sent by Yajian Company, so he became furious and even scolded Zhuang Buyuan.

But the problem is that Zhang Zhengxiong has always been in charge of Yajian Company's business!

Zhuang Buyuan finally understood why Zhang Zhengxiong asked him to handle this document. He could only lament that there were so many routines in the workplace, and I wanted to resign!

But if you quit your job and you have nothing to eat, do you have to go back to your hometown in despair and be supported by your parents who have worked hard for half your life?

Zhuang Buyuan could only grit his teeth and endure.

I couldn't take a nap at noon to replenish positive energy, and I was extremely tired at night.

Finally I can go back to dreaming at night.

After clearing away the messy information on his desk, Zhuang Buyuan was about to close the computer when he suddenly saw a number flashing in the spam in his mailbox.

spam?

Zhuang Buyuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly opened it.

"Proof of ownership of the deserted manor, please print and bring this certificate to the site for confirmation. Valid time countdown: 2 hours and 27 minutes."

It ends in two hours?

It will take at least two hours to get to the southern suburbs of Xucheng from here...

Still want to find this manor?

The southern suburbs of Xucheng were completely different from where I lived now.

Should I go or not?

If he went, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

If you don't go...

What if? What if?

Maybe this is your only chance to own real estate in your life. Even if there is any trouble, it is a place to settle down and live... right?

Zhuang Buyuan, do you really want to daydream all your life?

Don’t you want your parents and family to go to a big city to enjoy happiness?

To go or not to go?

When Zhuang Buyuan reacted, he had already heard the creaking sound of the printer, and a certificate of property rights was slowly coming out of the printer.

…

"Turn this way..." Zhuang Buyuan held his cell phone and located his current location. Then he looked at the simple map marked on the printed paper and carefully determined his location.

Zhuang Buyuan took the last subway to the south of the city, and finally caught the last bus. When he got off the bus, it was already 11:22, and he still had less than forty minutes to find this so-called "deserted place". manor".

On the southern outskirts of Xucheng, there is a stretch of mountains. At the foot of the mountains are cemeteries everywhere, which looks eerie.

"A one-yuan manor shouldn't be a ghost house...but even if it's a ghost house, it's better than having no property." Zhuang Buyuan thought this way.

It was originally July in the middle of summer, and it was extremely hot, but the ghostly scene around him made Zhuang Buyuan feel cold all over, his hands and feet were numb, and he could hardly walk.

But now that we are here, do we have to give up?

"There are no ghosts in this world. This is a materialistic world, rich, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious..." Zhuang Buyuan cheered himself up desperately, braced himself, and moved forward slowly step by step in a posture ready to escape. In this cemetery, I finally found that the front suddenly opened up, and there was a straight road extending into the distance. The road was a bit deserted, with a lot of weeds sticking out of the gaps. At the end of the road, there was a faint mist, as if the shadows were covering something longingly. .

The street lights on both sides were dim and flickering, and they were quite broken. There was a sign beside it: "XX Manor Ahead..."

The sign was blurred, and someone had drawn a huge crossed red circle on it, which looked shocking.

Zhuang Buyuan felt like he was playing Alan Wake. Even the signal on his cell phone was a bit unstable and intermittent.

This is usually how horror movies work. The male protagonist who wants to die has to go to a cabin in the woods or a mountain cabin. All kinds of unspeakable monsters appear, and then the screen is filled with ketchup.

Looking at the time, there were only ten minutes left. Looking at the road ahead, Zhuang Buyuan gritted his teeth for the last time.

We’re all here, don’t give up halfway!

He took a deep breath and ran forward faster.

Who would have thought that this road would be longer than imagined, and the looming buildings that seemed not far away through the mist were still wandering around not far away after running for almost ten minutes, but they had become a little clearer.

Time passed little by little, and Zhuang Buyuan heard a dull creaking sound, and the gate of the manor in the distance was slowly closing.

"Wait a minute! I'm here, I'm the owner of the deserted manor! Wait a minute!"

Zhuang Buyuan shouted, and the dull creaking sound suddenly stopped, and the mist seemed to slowly dissipate. Zhuang Buyuan found that he was very close to the deserted manor.

The two half-open, rusty iron doors stopped closing. Zhuang Buyuan ran in quickly and said, "Hello, I am the owner of the deserted manor. My name is Zhuang Buyuan."

Wait, no one?

Zhuang Buyuan felt that his hair was standing on end. Is this really a haunted house?

What’s coming out next? Zombies? vampire? Montenegro old demon?

Immediately afterwards, Zhuang Buyuan felt that his hand suddenly became empty, and the printed certificate disappeared.

A ray of light came from nowhere and swept across Zhuang Buyuan's body, and then a voice rang out.

"The ownership of the Almighty Manor is confirmed, the new owner: Zhuang Buyuan."

"The Almighty Manor is reactivated. Initial points: 10,000. Level: Manor Courtyard. It can accommodate one master, one deacon, one servant, and one chef."

"Please replenish the personnel required for the Almighty Manor as soon as possible so that the manor can start up and produce normally."

"The manor courtyard has two living areas: the master's room and the servant's room*3."

"The manor courtyard has three functional areas: kitchen, vegetable garden, and utility room."

"The current output of the manor courtyard: none."

"For any questions about the use of the manor, please consult the 'Manor Encyclopedia'."

"Please accept the owner's ID card and activate the manor."

In the void, a black card suddenly appeared, with the word "Zhuang" written in seal script on it in dark silver lines.

What? What what?

Zhuang Buyuan was wondering, was this a business simulation game?

Or is this some funny prank?

"Everyone come out, this is not funny!"

"I have seen you. Look, I am already laughing. Are you satisfied with such an ugly smile? Where is the director? Come out quickly!"

"Do you think I don't know that this card is hung with a fishing line? The card flew away as soon as I took it, right? Come out quickly!"

"Or is there a trap on the ground? Are you just waiting for me to step on it?"

"This is not funny at all. I have to go to work tomorrow! You can't bully an innocent boy like this!"

No matter how Zhuang Buyuan shouted, there was silence all around, except for the black card, floating quietly in the air.

Zhuang Buyuan felt a little weird. He looked around, and finally reached out and grabbed the card.

The card didn't fly. Zhuang Buyuan held the card, and he wasn't shocked, nor did he fall into a trap.

The next second, the card suddenly disappeared and turned into a light screen floating in front of Zhuang Buyuan, showing a purchase interface.

"The owner of the village, please spend 100 points to redeem the manor ID card for a three-hour trial set."

Zhuang Buyuan looked at the upper left corner, where three cards arranged in a fan shape were suspended on the light screen. There are a lot of things next to them, but they are all gray and cannot be purchased yet.

The three cards were written in seal script: "Zhi, Servant, Pao".

The deacon is the steward, the servant is the servant, and the cook is the cook.

The black card is antique and very beautiful.

There is also a line of small words floating below: "The three-hour trial set of the all-purpose manor ID card is valid for three hours. Accepting the ID card is equivalent to accepting the relevant identity."
