Chapter 53: What's with this sudden surge of security?

The auxiliary building on the left is for the staff to live in, and it only has one floor.

It contains three single rooms and two double rooms.

The common area consists of a kitchen, a living room, and a laundry room.

Don't let the fact that it's staff housing fool you; the decor is extremely luxurious, reaching a standard that many ordinary family homes cannot achieve.

"Is this place for us to live in?" Well, this certainly opened Luo Shanshan's eyes.

The auxiliary building is independent, separated from the main building by landscaping but connected by a long corridor, allowing for the quickest access to the main building's living room. Overall, whether it's the environment or the interior decor, it feels like moving into a five-star hotel!

Wang Junqi, who is usually reserved with his emotions, also showed an expression of surprise after seeing the living environment.

Even Master Qin had the urge to stay here!

Ling Yue crossed her arms and leaned gently against the door. "Choose whichever room you want to live in yourselves. Once you've chosen, make lunch as soon as possible. Time is a bit tight, so let's just whip up something simple for noon."

Once Ling Yue left, the three of them ran around the auxiliary building like crazy.

The living room is about thirty square meters and has a sofa, a TV cabinet, and a television.

The open kitchen is connected to the dining room, forming an independent staff canteen. There is nothing in the double-door refrigerator right now, but the space is large and should be able to hold a lot of things.

The laundry room not only has a washing machine but also dry-cleaning equipment. The room has sliding glass doors that connect to a small courtyard, where tall iron poles stand—presumably for drying clothes.

The entire auxiliary building is about 180 square meters, comparable to the scale of a large flat.

Luo Shanshan wandered around and returned to the living room. Her eyes were literally glowing. "Oh my god~ This is too awesome! The staff even get their own building! I've really made it; I've actually moved into the Bamboo Forest Residence!

My mom said that when she visited the graves this year, the spirit money floated high, which meant the descendants would be successful. It turns out it was meant for me!"

She cackled like a rooster crowing.

She casually pushed open a door.

What did she see!

It was a single room with Chinese-style decor. The interior was very spacious, equipped with a 1.5-meter single bed, two nightstands, an independent desk, a wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom.

Luo Shanshan couldn't help but exclaim: "I've been working for so long, and the room I rent can't even compare to a nanny's room!"

Thinking back to her cramped eight-square-meter room, where the air conditioning worked intermittently, the wiring was bad and often burned out the light bulbs, the wooden floorboards were warped, and she had to queue up during peak shower times—all for 1,300 in rent.

Qu Shu also walked in. She strolled to the window and gently pulled open the curtains, and a beam of bright light shone in!

Without the obstruction, they happened to see through the window several begonia trees dotted with tender pink flower buds among the green leaves—they were just about to bloom!

With every breath, they could almost smell the scent of damp earth and the faint, elusive fragrance of flowers!

Qu Shu pushed her chin up hard so it wouldn't dislocate. "I finally understand why people always want to come to villas to be nannies.

With this level of decor, this clean and tidy wardrobe and large bed, this odorless bathroom, and the stunning scenery visible the moment you pull back the curtains—even as a single room, it would rent for at least 3,000 outside!"

Luo Shanshan plopped down on the bed, stroking the soft and fragrant quilt with both hands, then suddenly dove into it, thrashing around like a dying fish on the shore. "It's too awesome! I've decided, I'm staying in this room!"

Qu Shu and Wang Junqi exchanged a glance. The former trotted out the door, while the latter followed slowly behind.

Qu Shu opened one of the rooms, and her jubilant voice came through. "I love it, I love it! I'm staying in this one. What about you, Wang Junqi?"

Wang Junqi stood in the living room with his hands tucked in. Did he even have a choice?

He slowly opened the last single room. A smile with a very lively feel curled at the corners of his mouth. "Then I'll stay in this one; it happens to be the closest to the kitchen."

All three had chosen their ideal rooms. Qu Shu went to the main building's kitchen to help pick vegetables. The three of them worked quickly and made lunch in just over half an hour.

The round table in the main dining room was huge, the kind that could accommodate 20 people.

Ling Yue, being alone, was still used to sitting at a small round table.

Because there wasn't enough time, Qu Shu and the others didn't start another fire; instead, they ate the same food as Ling Yue.

While eating, Ling Yue put down her chopsticks and said to the four people in the living room, "To celebrate the move, I want to have hot pot tonight."

Qu Shu pulled out the follow-up medical report that Ling Yue had just brought back today—which she hadn't had time to read carefully yet—and glanced at the doctor's instructions. "Then we can only make clear broth hot pot."

When it came to food, Wang Junqi was very proactive. "How about congee base hot pot? I happen to know how to make it."

"That works!" Ling Yue suddenly felt a bit craving for it.

Wang Junqi thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a lot of ingredients to buy, and my electric scooter probably can't fit them. Could Master Qin drive me to the supermarket?"

"Sure. Master Qin, you stay and eat with us tonight," Ling Yue said.

There was nothing to refuse, so Master Qin agreed immediately.

Ling Yue was carb-comatose.

She went to the master bedroom on the second floor and kept walking and walking; it took quite a while to reach the bed.

She remembered that on her first day moving into Jingyu No. 1, she felt the room was very empty at night. Now that she had moved into the villa, she finally knew what true emptiness was.

A master bedroom of over two hundred square meters—she could even go jogging inside. The bed was also huge; she could roll around on it three or four times and wouldn't fall off.

Qu Shu and Luo Shanshan were like they had taken stimulants; they didn't know where the energy came from, but taking advantage of the free afternoon, they hurried back to the rental apartment to check out, pack up, and box everything as quickly as possible.

Luo Shanshan packed three large bags of luggage and had to take a taxi over. Qu Shu was even more exaggerated; she directly called a cargo van service.

Wang Junqi bought back a lot of ingredients and was handling them skillfully in the kitchen. Luo Shanshan and Qu Shu were quickly unpacking their luggage in their own small rooms.

Qu Shu even used her phone to play a piece of light music that she never tired of while working. Hmm, she felt even more energetic!

Dinner was held in the small dining room. It was a square table for six.

All the fresh ingredients were boiled in the bubbling, thick congee base, paired with soy sauce and green onions as condiments. Dipping the blanched meat into it, it tasted salty, fresh, tender, and succulent, with a rich rice aroma—mild in flavor but not fishy.

The congee that had been used to blanch the ingredients could also be ladled out to drink. Paired with the cooked fresh shrimp, abalone, and various fish in the congee, sprinkled with a little sesame and stirred well, a bowl of congee had both the freshness of seafood ingredients and the delicate fragrance of rice.

Ling Yue gave Wang Junqi a thumbs up. "This is good! You kid actually have some skills."

Someone, having been highly praised for his culinary skills, rarely showed a proud and satisfied smile.

After the meal, Luo Shanshan and Qu Shu cleaned up the kitchen. Master Qin drove Wang Junqi home.

Ling Yue strolled in the garden to digest her food. It seemed time to feed the little fish.

Ling Yue opened the fish food box, grabbed a handful, and tossed it into the water. The chubby little goldfish swam around, full of vitality.

After her walk and feeding the fish, she prepared to return to her room for a shower and then curl up in bed to watch some TV. When passing through the living room, she saw Luo Shanshan and Qu Shu sitting on the floor playing on their phones.

Ling Yue didn't care what her employees did after work hours, but she was a little curious. "What are you all doing sitting here?"

Luo Shanshan looked up from her bright phone screen and said somewhat embarrassedly, "There's Wi-Fi here, so we're planning to play some games for a while."

Ling Yue then remembered that the wireless network in the auxiliary building wouldn't be installed by the technician until tomorrow.

Ling Yue walked over. "What game?"

"Honor of Kings. Boss, are you coming?" Qu Shu shook her phone and proactively extended an invitation.

Ling Yue was actually a bit interested. "How do you play?" She leaned over.

Next, Luo Shanshan helped download the software and, with lightning speed, guided Ling Yue through the tutorial. At the same time, she sent out a call in the 'Tongfu Inn' group.

Luo Shanshan: Honor of Kings, coming?

Ten seconds later.

Wang Junqi: Coming.

Considering Ling Yue's low level, Luo Shanshan and the others all used low-rank alt accounts to form a team. The four of them formed a group and randomly pulled someone from the world channel.

Ling Yue played Zhuang Zhou, a fish character, casting skills randomly. Not only could she not keep up in team fights, but she was also quickly slaughtered by the opponents.

Luo Shanshan sneered. "The opponents are purely using alt accounts to bully newbies. How dare they kill my boss!"

Qu Shu put on an indifferent face. "Shanshan, you hide in the bushes. I'll lure the opposing marksman over. We'll coordinate and kill him."

Wang Junqi: "Then I'll clear the minion wave in the middle lane and push the tower."

Luo Shanshan: "OK, OK. Boss, watch us avenge you!"

Ling Yue: How did this sudden feeling of overwhelming security happen?

Qu Shu went to kill the dragon, luring the opposing marksman over. While activating defensive skills, Luo Shanshan used Yu Ji to perform all sorts of flashy maneuvers, kiting the opponent effortlessly. Before Ling Yue could even see it clearly, the opposing marksman was dead.

So... this is how you play this game? "I get it now!" Ling Yue was full of confidence!

The teammate pulled in from the world channel didn't quit either. Next, the five of them teamed up and played a few more rounds, gaining five stars.

Ling Yue was so happy that she topped up over 50,000 and bought all the direct-sale skins. She also gave Luo Shanshan and the others 50,000 each, telling them to get all the skins fully equipped. Next time they teamed up, they all had to wear beautiful clothes—that would be stylish.

The kids were stunned with joy. If it were Chinese New Year, Luo Shanshan and Qu Shu would probably have kowtowed to Ling Yue on the spot.

Seeing that it was nine o'clock, Ling Yue yawned and went upstairs to get her beauty sleep, while Luo Shanshan and Qu Shu started another round.

After showering and lying in bed, Ling Yue tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she opened the game and played a few rounds by herself.

The neighbors were drying peppercorns in front of their door, numbing the neighbors next door. She died 12 times in one round! She actually managed to die that many times!

It clearly wasn't like this just a moment ago... So sad, she turned out to be a gaming black hole.
