Haunted house auctions begin soon.

A man in a black suit and a red tie walked up to the auction stage arrogantly holding a shiny old wooden hammer, looked around at the crowded crowd with eager expressions, and dragged on. The tail tune said: "The auction begins."

"Everyone knows that Sunshine City has five districts, abcde districts, and district a has the best real estate resources. You are lucky. There are two houses in district a for auction today."

"I believe everyone has seen all the houses that will be auctioned today, and I will not introduce too much. One set, District A, 18 square meters, hardcover room, can move in with bags, it is a livable house for a family of four, It's a pity that this family of four just jumped out of this house the day before yesterday."

"Let me thank these homeowners who have left to pay part of the house payment for everyone as usual before the filming starts, so you can't miss cheap houses in District A here, please bow your head and pray that he dies Then you can ascend to heaven."

The auctioneer pretended to lead the crowd to observe a moment of silence with their hands clasped together.

"The starting price of this house—" After praying, the auctioneer slammed down the hammer and raised his eyelids: "—3 million."

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Guang and Shi Qian in the group were stunned for a moment: "18 square meters, how much is the starting price?!"

But before he could react, the price went up quickly, and the neighbors were scrambling to be the first, shouting the price with red faces:

"3.1 million!"

"3.18 million!"

In just three minutes, the price was called more than a dozen times, and the price soared to four million. The scene was so lively that it didn't look like they were robbing a haunted house.

Yuan Guang stopped in a daze where he was about to raise a sign. The amount on the sign was one million. He looked at the people next to him in a daze, who were about to fight for this 18-square-meter haunted house where a family of four had just died. ‌The ‌‌.

"Okay." The auctioneer lowered the hammer indifferently, raised his head and gestured to a man who looked haggard and thin, and felt that he was going to lose weight in the next second, "Congratulations to this Mr. Li, who sold at a price of 4.76 million. , got this house.”

The man raised his head and cheered ecstatically, almost crazy with joy: "I have a house! Haha! I have a house!"

"Mr. Li, please come up to get your real estate certificate, and express your own acceptance speech to encourage all Sunshine City residents who have not yet obtained a house." The auctioneer said.

The scrawny Mr. Li climbed onto the auction stage step by step, panting, almost took the real estate certificate with the help of the auctioneer who looked disgusted, and smiled like is obtained worldwide:

"From the day I started working at the age of 16, my goal was to own a house of my own in Sunshine City."

"Full payment!" Mr. Li's eyes flashed with a strange and fanatical light, "I am determined not to be a house slave! I want to be a first-class citizen of Sunshine City!"

"For this goal, I only eat a piece of instant noodles every day, reward myself with a cup of seasoning soup every two days, do six to ten odd jobs every day, sleep in the company's toilet to save land costs, and that's it. After 30 years of frugality, I finally saved up to 4.76 million.”

Mr. Li wept with joy, and he held up the real estate certificate in the house like a trophy: "Finally, today, I bought a 18-square-meter house with all the money!"

There was a patter of applause from the audience, and some sporadic ridicule:

"Tsk, I don't know why I'm so proud. I have ten jobs. I have twelve jobs before, okay? What's there to show off?"

"Saved 4.76 million in 30 years? That means I was lucky enough to get this apartment. How can I get someone like him to live in it in District A..."

"It's so annoying, can you come down now, and wait for the second house to be photographed, okay? It's like who doesn't save money to buy a house like this."

Mr. Li also seemed to know that what he had done was insignificant, so he came down with the real estate certificate with a little shame.

Yuan Guang numbly looked at the back of Mr. Li leaving: "...I feel that my energy has been severely impacted."

Shi Qian nodded slowly: "Me too."

Another group of outsiders who are still in the process of going through the process are also severely impacted.

Mu Sicheng was already stunned when he saw it: "This Mr. Li, he looks like a skeleton, wouldn't he die suddenly the same day he lived in it..."

"Then this haunted house will be taken back for auction again." Bai Liu smiled half-smile, he looked at the auctioneer with interest, "It feels like a new way of jumping fairy has been added."

Mu Sicheng swallowed nervously, and he took two steps away from Bai Liu: "Bai Liu, why do I feel that you are so aggressive in this dungeon?"

"It's normal." Liu Jiayi, who has been silent for a long time, glanced at Bai Liu and said calmly, "He was also very aggressive towards the foreman in Rose Book, and in the end almost all the foremen were killed by him. Bai Liu hated it very much. He didn't like Mu Ke back then when he exploited his superiors."

Muke took a deep breath.

Bai Liu said naturally: "Is it natural to hate the class that takes away your interests? No one likes to be a leek."

Tang Erda couldn't help but glance at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu smiled instantly: "Captain Tang, I'm just venting in the game, I won't bring it into reality."

As he said that, Bai Liu put the completed real estate certificate in Tang Er's pocket: "Captain Tang, you are the most orderly and combative player in my team, so I decided to take the property I obtained for the time being." All the real estate certificates are in your name, okay?"

Tang Erda took over the real estate certificate: "Yes."

"So my current strategy is to kill people and seize houses?" Speaking of this, Tang Erda frowned a little uncomfortably, he was not used to this way.

"Of course not." Bai Liu looked up at the fiery auction field over there, "It's too inefficient to kill people and seize houses."

Tang Er was taken aback: "Too low efficiency?"

You can get a house by killing a house, is there a more efficient way to win a house than this?

"Well, I killed that recruiter just to verify two theories, that is, this game should be cleared through unconventional channels, and the people in Sunshine City will turn into ghosts after death. The way to achieve the goal is to kill the house and seize the house." Bai Liu narrates unhurriedly, "It is impossible to get five buildings in seven days by killing the house and seizing the house."

Tang Er frowned, and asked hesitantly: "As long as... kill the owners of the five buildings, you can pass the level, why not?"

Liu Jiayi replied coldly: "Because I can't tell who is the landlord at all, how can I kill him?"

"Yes." Bai Liu nodded, "There are tens of millions of households in this city. There are only a few homeowners who fully own the house, and most of them are house slaves and temporary residents. I can't kill them. Those who have obtained a complete real estate certificate, and these seem to be ordinary ones, it is too inefficient to screen out who is the owner or slave one by one."

"You can go directly to the building and kill them." Mu Sicheng touched his chin and suggested, "The people who live in the building should most likely be the homeowners, right?"

"There are also house slaves." Mu Ke retorted calmly, "And a building here has 30 to 40 floors, and each floor has five to six households. The quality of the doors and windows is also very good. Rounding it up, I would have to forcefully break the door overnight. One hundred and fifty households were killed."

Mu Sicheng fell into deep thought: "Isn't it impossible to have one hundred and fifty households in one night?"

"Of course it can be done—" Bai Liu opened his eyelids, "But the people here will turn into ghosts after they die, have you forgotten?"

Liu Jiayi thought for a moment and asked a question: "But Bai Liu, I think there is something strange about this."

"Before you killed the recruiter, the system prompted that after he died, he would become a ghost and stay in the house to attack all the people who entered the house. According to this rule, people who have died in these haunted houses have died. The house should also turn into ghosts and stay in the house to attack the residents who enter it."

"It's impossible for the rules and systems of the game to lie to me." Liu Jiayi also frowned, "Then why do these people live in a haunted house?"

"It's not a good life." Mu Ke recalled what those job seekers said before, "Some people who bought a haunted house also had accidents after a period of time after they lived in it."

Liu Jiayi glanced at the extremely lively auction market behind her: "But it is undeniable that there should be quite a few people living in haunted houses who are living well, otherwise the market wouldn't be as hot as it is."

Bai Liu looked at her with downcast eyes: "I thought of this too, but have you noticed that there is an obvious difference between these haunted houses and the haunted houses I robbed."

Mu Siming thought hard: "Aren't they all haunted houses after a futile death? What's the difference?"

Liu Jiayi paused, and quickly looked at the real estate certificate on Tang Er's bed: "It's a matter of property rights."

"The recruiter I killed was very rich. He owned the complete property rights of a house and was the owner. These haunted houses that were auctioned were taken back by the real estate company, which means that the people who died inside They are basically house slaves who are still repaying their loans.”

Bai Liu smiled: "That's right, and it also means that the house slave doesn't fully own the house."

"So I guess, a ghost who owns a house can't stay in his own house. A ghost who doesn't fully own his house can't stay in his house all the time. He can only stay in the house occasionally, most of the time. Time is going to wander around."

Liu Jiayi quickly caught up with her thoughts: "This is why the haunted houses I bought had to deal with the ghosts of the house owners immediately, and some of the haunted houses that were auctioned here had problems living in them, while others were fine. "

The smile on Bai Liu's face deepened: "Not only that, do you still remember what the auctioneer said? The dead man repaid part of the loan for you. I guess here is not only the house, even the ghost owns part of the property rights of the house oh."

When Mu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but pause, and he slowly raised his head:

"Bai Liu, you're saying that not only living here must abide by the rules set by the real estate developers in Sunshine City, but even the dead and ghosts must abide by the rules of the real estate developers here, so here's Ghosts have to pay the house money before they are alive and have a house to live in, and they can even manage the property rights of ghosts, so doesn't that mean..."

Bai Liu lowered his eyes: "That's right, I suspect that the five real estate developers here may not be real estate."
