Chapter 1: The Beauty Moves In (Please Collect)

  "Li Feng, when will you pay your rent?" The landlord's voice came from outside the room, extremely loud and piercing, like a thunderclap that instantly woke up Li Feng who was sleeping.

  Li Feng immediately got out of bed and said cautiously: "Aunt Zhou, can we pay a few days later?"

  He didn't dare offend this landlady, he was penniless and now even eating had become a problem, let alone paying rent. If he were to be kicked out, he would end up wandering the streets.

  "You little scamp, you've owed me two months' rent! If you don't pay up, I'll have to kick you out!" Old Lady Zhou said with a fierce tone.

  Li Feng's mind was racing, trying to come up with a reasonable excuse to calm down the landlady, when suddenly, Zhou Dama's phone rang, playing the famous tune "Love for Sale".

  "I'll come back later and settle the score with you, young man." Old Lady Zhou hummed a tune as she went outside to make a phone call.

  "Whew, no danger for now~" Li Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief. This Auntie Zhou was a typical example of "sharp tongue but soft heart". Although she spoke harsh words, in reality, she didn't have much intention of driving him away. Otherwise, Auntie Zhou wouldn't have continued to let him stay here even after he owed two months' rent.

  Li Feng glanced at the time, now it's 9 o'clock in the morning, not early anymore. He quickly got dressed, brushed his teeth and washed his face. After finishing these things, he prepared to go to a small restaurant next door to have some breakfast.

  "Li Feng!"

  At this time, the landlady, Mrs. Zhou, pushed open the door and walked in. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, slightly fat, of medium height, with an ordinary face and dressed as a typical housewife.

  "What's up?" Li Feng responded.

  "The empty room opposite yours has been rented out, you go pick them up at the station now," said Auntie Zhou.

  "May I ask, is this person male or female?" Li Feng asked.

  Female.

  "What's this, Aunt Zhou? This room only has one toilet and one bathroom, now a girl is moving in, how inconvenient!"

  "You still dare to say it's inconvenient, I don't know who is relying on me and refusing to pay the rent. With prices so high now, if I don't collect the rent, what can I eat? Unless you pay all the overdue rent, I'll immediately go reject that girl?"

  "Goodbye, Aunt Zhou, I'll go pick them up right away!"

  Li Feng dropped a sentence and turned into a gust of wind, flying down to the floor, not giving Mrs. Zhou any chance to urge for rent.

  He heard from Old Lady Zhou's tone that as long as there were new tenants moving in and rent could be collected, his safety factor would increase several times. Such a good opportunity, how could he let it slip away!

  "This young whippersnapper..." Old Lady Zhou looked at Li Feng's hastily retreating back and shook her head with a smile.

  ……

  According to Zhou Dama's information, Li Feng came to a small shop beside the station exit and started waiting for that mysterious new tenant.

  Meng Qingling, female, 18 years old.

  "This is the information Li Feng got from Aunt Zhou, he furrowed his brow and whispered: 'This woman shouldn't be a dinosaur, knowing that I'm living in that house, she still dares to move in together?'"

  "Excuse me, are you Li Feng?"

  Just as Li Feng was trying hard to imagine what the girl looked like in his mind, a clear and pleasant voice came from beside him.

  This sound was like a clear spring flowing through the heart, sweet and unparalleled, listening to it made people feel numb. Li Feng suddenly raised his head, in an instant, a beautiful girl pulling a suitcase entered his eyes.

  Her tall stature, firm breasts, slender legs, and stunning face... When all these characteristics were concentrated on a girl, the destructive power was extremely shocking. For an instant, Li Feng felt as if he had encountered a celestial maiden from heaven.

  "A 9 out of 10 temperament girl!" Li Feng gave this girl a score in his heart, and for someone with extremely strict aesthetic vision like him, this was an unprecedented high score!

  "Yes, I am Li Feng. And you are Meng Qingyan?" Li Feng nodded and his face returned to calmness, but in his heart he was still marveling at the girl's beauty.

  "Ah, I'm Meng Qingling. Nice to meet you, please advise me." The girl stretched out her white jade hand towards him, with a faint smile on her delicate face that was irresistibly charming.

  "Li Feng is 22 years old and doesn't have a girlfriend!"

  Li Feng and the girl shook hands, he clearly felt that the girl's hand was tender and smooth, like a soft jade, with an excellent touch. He even didn't want to let go, but his rationality told him that if he continued to hold her hand like this, it would give the girl an initial impression of being a pervert, which would be a disastrous situation, so he had to avoid such a thing from happening.

  Let go, this is a very difficult decision...

  "I'll help you carry your things." Li Feng took the initiative to help the girl pick up her luggage, and for someone who had been doing physical labor for years, this weight was nothing.

  "Thank you." The girl smiled and said, her smile as beautiful as a flower, with an enchanting charm that captivated everyone.

  "Come on, I'll take you to where we're staying." Li Feng made an effort to steady his shaken nerves and walked quickly ahead, not wanting to show a flustered appearance in front of the girl.

  With Meng Qingyun, they arrived at the house where they lived. Li Feng was delighted to discover that the entire room had become much cleaner than before, which touched his heart deeply.

  It seems that Auntie Zhou has swept the entire room to maintain her image. Now it looks like this is a great favor!

  After putting everything away, Meng Qingyun came to the window. Outside was a small garden with clusters of five-colored flowers in full bloom. The fragrance of the flowers wafted in from outside, refreshing her heart.

  The house where Li Feng lives is located in a residential area, with beautiful surroundings and a garden next to it. More importantly, it's very quiet here, not much noise, and the rent charged by the landlord, Mrs. Zhou, is relatively cheap.

  "It's better than I imagined." Meng Qingyan said with a faint smile on her face, looking quite pleased.

  She returned to her room and took out a silver-white helmet from an exquisite box, starting to install it with proficiency.

  Li Feng recognized it at a glance, this was a gaming helmet. Judging from the design of the helmet, its price probably wasn't low.

  "Miss Meng, what kind of game helmet is this?" Li Feng often played online games, so he couldn't help but ask.

  Meng Qingling looked at Li Feng and said: "This is the game helmet of 'Shenlin', I don't know if you play this game?"

  "I guess so, 'God Arrival' is probably the most popular virtual game right now. It's already sold over 100 million gaming headsets before its official launch, which is truly astonishing. I really want to play this game, but unfortunately, even the cheapest headset costs 5,000 yuan, it's unaffordable."

  Li Feng helplessly said, "Shén Lín" is a virtual online game that claims to have epoch-making significance, developed by the world's largest gaming company, Tiān Shén Gaming Company, at the cost of countless funds. Under the overwhelming promotion of the game, it has already reached a point where everyone knows about it.

  As a seasoned gamer, Li Feng naturally wanted to experience the magic of "Shenlin", but unfortunately his current economic situation made it impossible for him to do so.
