"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for receiving 5% of Fengle Village's yesterday's revenue, a total of 97589 gold coins!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for receiving the revenue from the first floor of the Cursed Secret Realm yesterday, a total of 323805 gold coins!"
Not bad. This beginner village with over twenty thousand players can generate nearly two million gold coins a day. Today is only the first day of the game, and Fengle Village was solely supported by a pharmacy. A blacksmith shop was only added after I completed my quests. Such income is already quite good.
Despite being wealthy, Ye Yun would not let go of any gold coin. Having been poor for a lifetime in his past life, he understood the hardship.
Divine City Revival - Quest 2: At the end of the second level of the Cursed Secret Realm lies a shattered lost land, where an启天密匙 (Qitian Key) is sealed. Players must obtain the Qitian Key within 12 hours. The secret realm timer begins now. Entry attempts: 1.
Special prompt: Monsters within the secret realm are powerful. Players should assess their own abilities. If the quest fails, it will be permanently canceled.
Completion rewards:
1. 10% of Fengle Village's revenue, automatically sent to the player's mail after 24:00 daily.
2. One random commercial building and one non-commercial building in Fengle Village, and one启天塔 (Qitian Tower).
3. Control over the second level of the Cursed Secret Realm. No submission required, automatic acquisition upon completion!
Qitian Tower?
Ye Yun's eyes lit up. This was the central hub of all cities. Once he controlled 60% of this beginner village, he could use the Qitian Tower to upgrade the various buildings within the village. Then, the village could quickly be upgraded to a town, a city, and even a main city.
That way, he could leave this wretched place, at least not worry about not being able to learn his professional skills.
Looking at the time, Ye Yun exited the game. He was surprised to find that if he had stayed up this late in his past life, he would have been hospitalized. Staying up late damaged the liver, and he was already a liver cancer patient.
Had the actual impact of the game begun at the very beginning of the Heavenly Dao's operation?
Ye Yun frowned.
If this were the case, he would have to accelerate his progress and quickly improve his strength. This way, he could at least escape his illness earlier.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Ye Yun was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Do you need something?" Ye Yun looked at Ding Yi outside the door, a little surprised. Hadn't this woman moved out overnight? What was she back for? Wasn't it more profitable to run away with his fifty thousand yuan?
"Um, this is an IOU. Thank you for your help yesterday. If it weren't for you, yesterday I probably..." Ding Yi said, looking embarrassed at Ye Yun, who was only wearing briefs. She even bowed deeply to him, though Ye Yun felt something was odd.
"Alright, it's fine if you're okay now." Ye Yun casually took the IOU. Damn it, it seemed like this fifty thousand yuan was not going anywhere. His initial grogginess instantly turned into full alertness.
"Um..."
"You mentioned yesterday that you wanted me to work for you. Is that true?" Ding Yi said, lowering her head.
Ye Yun was stunned. Had he said that yesterday?
But thinking about it, the opening of the Heavenly Dao had a profound impact on real life. Countless conglomerates and large corporations were transforming and moving towards the Heavenly Dao, causing widespread unemployment. The service industry was hit even harder.
"This..."
Ye Yun was troubled. I'm just a shut-in. What kind of work can I offer? I'm unemployed myself.
But then again, his body was still weak, and his meals were either takeout or eating out. And now that he had money, well, hiring someone to take care of him seemed perfectly reasonable.
"Mr. Ye, please don't worry. I was previously the head of the PR department at Tengyi Group and graduated from Xijing University. I..." Seeing Ye Yun's hesitant expression, Ding Yi quickly introduced herself.
"My health has been poor recently. I just want to find someone who can take care of me, like cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, and cooking."
What the hell is Xijing University? What the hell is a group executive? What use are they to me?
Nani?
Ding Yi looked at Ye Yun, and suddenly became flustered again.
Is he looking for a nanny or a wife? Does he need to add a condition for warming the bed?
"This..." Ding Yi hesitated. She, a master's degree holder, was being asked to work as a nanny. No one would believe it if she said it, and the salary for a nanny was a far cry from her previous eighty thousand a month.
"Well, I can offer you fifty thousand a month, provided your cooking is good. Miss Ding, if you're willing, then at that time..."
"I'm willing. When can I officially start working?" Ding Yi quickly agreed before Ye Yun could finish. She looked at Ye Yun's slightly sharp, gaunt face flushed red.
The market was currently affected by 'Heavenly Dao', and jobs were hard to find. If she didn't find a new job soon, let alone repay Ye Yun's fifty thousand yuan, she wouldn't even have money for food.
"This... first, buy me some breakfast. I need to wash up." Ye Yun quickly retreated into the bathroom. He looked at his reflection in the cracked mirror. Oh dear, he was going to have to support another person?
"Um... Boss, I don't have any money..." Ding Yi quickly got into character. Although Ye Yun lived in a mediocre environment, the fifty thousand yuan he borrowed from her was real. At worst, this month would be considered repayment.
When Ye Yun heard this, he quickly transferred five thousand yuan as a reserve fund.
Could this woman be trying to scam more money out of me? She hasn't even worked yet and she's already asking for five thousand.
After washing up, Ye Yun turned on the TV. This was a habit he had developed in his past life, even though the TV back then was just something he'd found at a second-hand market.
At this time, news about 'Heavenly Dao' was everywhere on television. Even techniques for killing monsters were being watched by countless people! Online streaming platforms were even more so. The alluring dances of female streamers and the familiar phrases of "my relatives, my family" from merchants were almost pushed to the sidelines.
Ten minutes later, Ding Yi returned with breakfast, and also bought some vegetables and fresh meat. However, her cold and aloof expression, coupled with her delicate high heels and semi-sheer black stockings, made Ye Yun stare blankly, even causing a surge of heat to rush down his throat.
Shameful, so shameful. After all, I've been through a lot in my past life. I should have some self-control.
Ye Yun slightly lifted his buttocks and walked over to take the breakfast from Ding Yi's hand, quickly finding a place to sit down and devour it.
Damn it, four years of college, one year lying in a hospital. Who knows how I got through looking at my campus belle ex-girlfriend in school and the nurses in the hospital!
"There's soy milk too."
Ding Yi looked at Ye Yun, thinking he was starving. She quickly placed the vegetables on the dining table and inserted a straw into the soy milk, handing it to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun took the cup of pale yellow soy milk, and his heart trembled. He suddenly felt his mouth dry and his throat parched.
Ding Yi didn't notice Ye Yun's abnormality. She turned to look at the somewhat messy living room, rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, and began cleaning.
"This is killing me! I'm looking for trouble for myself!" Seeing the cleavage that occasionally appeared as Ding Yi worked, Ye Yun almost squeezed the soy milk bag in his hand until it burst. He couldn't help but gulp down the soy milk in one go.
