Chapter 96 Obtaining the House Bag!
"Must all exits be taken together?"
Li Youmo fell into deep thought: "So that means—we have to wait for three more people to come in before we can really get out?"
"I have no idea----"
He Qing shook his head: "So far, that's all I've discovered. Because of the lack of necessary conditions, I can't yet determine whether it's one person walking out of the six exits at the same time, or six people walking out of the exits at the same time—"
Besides, there probably aren't that many people coming in here now, right?
Bai Hui nodded: "Indeed, there's practically no one passing by downstairs anymore."
He thought for a moment, then added, "And according to what you're saying, smashing this house doesn't seem to make a difference, since it was already ruined because the renovation was a failure—"
"It seems so. Even if this kind of house is smashed, the mortgage slaves probably won't feel bad," Li Youmo said.
He Qing suddenly had a whimsical idea and said, "Bai Hui, didn't you show your clone during the school's internal arena last time?"
"Can you create six clones now?"
He Qing was still restraining herself. Ever since she was "corrupted" by the Supreme Appetite at Bai Hui's house, she had been "controlling" herself.
He exerted all his strength from the beginning.
Her body underwent some subtle changes that she herself couldn't quite explain.
Therefore, even during the time she was trapped, she was still able to think relatively calmly in the face of the erosion and influence of the rules of ghost stories.
"That's just a visual illusion, not simultaneous, just close—" Bai Hui looked around: "But it's worth a try."
As he spoke, he unleashed the Secret Technique: Repeated Side Jumps, Iv.2, instantly creating five afterimages in the eyes of the two.
Seeing this, Li Youmo immediately joined the group, rushing out to fill the empty space for Bai Hui. Thus, six figures simultaneously passed through the six doors, and the result was—
After passing through, Bai Hui and Li Youye reappeared beside He Qing.
[Encountered an irrational phenomenon; sanity decreased by 1]
The three looked at each other in silence: "————"
"Looks like this won't work—"
Bai Hui frowned in deep thought. Beneath the simple lines, he could indeed see that all six doors were exits to life, but the crucial point was that all exits to life had to be accessed together.
Thinking it over, Bai Hui went through the Gate of Life again. This time he only entered one door. Although the result was the same both times, Bai Hui still accurately captured the subtle differences in the process.
He suddenly looked at Li Youmo and said, "Youmo, you have a split personality; strictly speaking, you should be considered two people, right?"
Upon hearing this, He Qing looked at Li Youmo with slight surprise.
"What do you want to say, Brother Hui?"
"Wouldn't repeated side-to-side jumping cause problems?"
"I haven't practiced much martial arts at school—but I can learn on the spot!"
"Okay." Bai Hui then looked at He Qing: "My repeated jumping can only create the illusion of a clone, and there is still a certain time difference. But I just tried it, and it seems that the afterimage clone also counts. As long as we can make up for this little bit of time difference, we should be able to get out."
I have a way to solve this.
"The Demon is in charge of two doors, I'll be in charge of three, and He Qing, you'll be in charge of one—let's try again!"
"good!"
Five minutes later, Li Youmo, relying on his mental strength far exceeding that of his peers, barely mastered the technique of repeated side-to-side jumping.
A severe "frame drop" ghosting effect can be observed.
However, the time difference was more pronounced than that of Bai Hui.
So he had a flash of inspiration and incorporated his dual personality into it, constantly switching between the two personalities as they repeatedly changed, and in this way he tried to enter the two doors.
Once he returned to the center of the room, he had moved a few steps from his previous position.
"feasible!"
Bai Hui was thrilled.
-
Then the three of them worked together, and Bai Hui also used up the personal time he had stored up during this period to make constant fine adjustments, using time stops to make up for time differences and to perform frame rate calibration!
So the initial positions of the three after each failed attempt to go out finally began to slowly move.
He Qing cooperated fully, and the strength she unleashed surprised even Bai Hui.
Another half hour passed, and the three of them finally got out successfully!
Some waste was inevitable during this period, which took 29 minutes of Bai Hui's "personal time". At this point, he only had 17 minutes of "personal time" left. Because he often needed to stop time to regain his senses, Bai Hui did not have much "personal time" accumulated.
However, he didn't feel bad about it.
The first semester of the first year of high school is already more than halfway over. After this league, the school winter sports meet will be held, followed by the final exams.
Bai Hui has enough time to rebuild his wealth.
After winter break, he might have a nearly two-month gap in his income, with no income from part-time jobs on campus, and he doesn't know if he can continue his sparring with Tian Qiyuan.
But one thing is certain: the winter break will give Bai Hui more free time.
It might be worth the risk to look for part-time work or something —
The three of them successfully appeared in the corridor. A small, hexagonal, prismatic bag floated in front of them, emitting a faint glow.
"Finally sold! Wuhu!"
"815 mortgage slave" cheered, and his distorted and absurd hunched body instantly became noticeably shriveled.
Other homeowners are trying to take advantage of the situation and seize these vacant spaces.
So much so that the nothingness in their eyes was visibly distorted—"815 Mortgage Slave" angrily shouted, "Get out! I haven't collected my rent yet!"
As they spoke, an invisible, terrifying pulling force instantly emerged from the six-sided pillar and acted on the three people who had just escaped the room.
The three of them instantly felt their hearts being pulled away, and their cognition began to distort. An excitement of "finally obtaining a small home after spending a lot" arose spontaneously, attempting to guide part of their spirit and wild imagination away from their bodies!
Bai Hui immediately stopped himself, although only for a moment, but because he was disconnected from the surrounding environment, the connection was broken on the spot.
Li Youyan hurriedly shouted, "Who wants it!"
As they spoke, Li Youye switched personalities, appearing stunned and bewildered, completely unaware of what was happening.
But because of this, he also severed the connection.
"I'll do it!"
He Qing stepped forward fiercely, her slender white hands grabbing the six-ridged pillar. With a low roar, the muscles in her arms bulged, unleashing all the restraint she had been holding back!
Bai Hui noticed the sudden shift in He Qing's inner energy and subconsciously added, "Activate, backup hidden inner energy!"
He had no time to spare for anything else, and pocketed the six-sided pillar.
The "815 mortgage slave" complained, "How come I only received one payment?! Damn it! I will never fail at renovations again!"
As it spoke, its withered, hunched body swelled up rapidly on its back as if inflated, completely filling the area that had just been vacated.
The bulge on its back faintly reveals the shape of the apartment layout.
Why didn't you just run away?
Bai Hui tilted his head and asked.
The "815 mortgage slave" was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"I saw you guys were all crammed here, unable to move. You had such a good opportunity just now, why didn't you just run away and find an open space to rebuild your houses?"
"Holy crap! You can do that?!"
"I don't know." Bai Hui shook his head. "I'm just guessing."
"Hey bro! Bro! Come in one more time! I'm selling this new house at a rock-bottom price! One more time!" the mortgage slave hurriedly said.
"The new house has nothing yet, and I still need to figure out how to renovate it, so what's the point of having anything else?"
Bai Hui continued to shake his head: "You guys keep squeezing in."
With that, Bai Hui called to the two of them, "Let's go."
