I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 2 Why do you only have two hands?

There was white mist outside the building.

Although the light was average, it was enough for Xia Qimiao to see clearly what was going on in the corridor.

In front of her was an old-fashioned iron door, the rust on the surface appearing darker in the dim light.

She didn't speak, but knocked on the door with a hammer.

She had to be tough and not show the slightest hint of fear or shrinkage. She recalled the images of housewives she had seen in the past, and she must be harsh.

She was paid, and these things were owed.

The effect is remarkable.

The door opened with a click, and before Xia Qimiao could see clearly, he heard a burst of snickering, and he couldn't tell the male from the male.

"Why do you only have two hands?"

"Hehe, you only have two hands."

She fixed her gaze and saw a humanoid monster.

Xia Qimiao didn't want to call him a human, because although the person on the other side looked like a standing person, if he looked closely, he could see that the two exposed "ears" were two slender hands.

The fingers were curling and twisting toward her.

[Your sanity has been violently impacted and is declining sharply. 】

[Talent - Coward doubles in effect, your attack value is rising sharply. 】

Xia Qimiao's body moved faster than his brain, and the hammer hit the thing's head first.

She didn't expect that the force was so strong that she knocked the monster down and half of her body fell out of the door.

She saw it rolling over on the ground, as if trying to stand up.

Xia Qimiao didn't have time to think, so she swung the hammer and hit him in the middle, only to hear a shrill cry.

The sound didn't come from the head she had just hit, but from inside the room.

When she looked inside, she realized that the two "legs" she had just stood on were not legs at all, but two arms. But this thing also has two arms on its upper body.

She didn't dare to think about why people looked like this, so she could only continue to smash them.

But this time it was empty, and the hand inside grabbed something and dragged the body back.

After the source power value floats out, the door will be closed.

Xia Qimiao acted quickly and immediately used the hammer to block the crack in the door.

The scale in her hand sucked away the source of energy, and it showed 2500, no more, no less, but she said without even looking at it: "Not enough."

There was a moment of silence both inside and outside.

After getting two more balls of source power, she put away the hammer and let the door close.

After she calmed down her breathing, she was about to move forward as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, groups of blue lights lit up from in front of each door, rushing towards the scale in Xia Qimiao's hand.

She walked over again, matched up the numbers, and breathed a sigh of relief.

One household on the second floor paid 2000, ten households on the third floor paid 15000, eight households on the fourth floor paid 16000, and six households on the fifth floor paid 15000. She also robbed 504 from 5000. The total now is 53000, which is still short of the target. Over three thousand.

She doesn't have to go up.

Although the task was only 50,000 yuan, she was worried that the original building owner would make a fuss about her confiscating all the tenants, so she bit the bullet and went up.

However, the sixth, seventh and eighth floors are all empty.

Until the last apartment on the ninth floor.

A huge eye opened from the wall, staring straight at the uninvited guest.

Xia Qimiao squeezed the handle of the hammer tightly and stared back without blinking.

The eyes blinked for a moment, then closed, and the wall returned to its original appearance.

Two balls of source energy floated into the scale, and she turned directly into the stairwell without looking. She wanted to run downstairs, but she was afraid of being caught, so she walked down as slowly as when she came.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful and she returned to the temporary staff area in the lobby unharmed.

She pursed her dry lips and reopened the panel.

倒计时还有17时33分50秒，租金进度是63000/50000。    九楼大气，给了两倍还有多。

Although the second task was overfulfilled, Xia Qimiao did not dare to relax. There was still such a long time, who knew if something unexpected would happen.

She held the hammer and tapped it on the ground.

[Ding - mission updates, please check back in time]

Xia Qimiao immediately opened the panel and saw the task details added:
  The competition went very smoothly. Adhering to the principle of "friendship first, competition second", all the posters had friendly exchanges and decided on the ranking in the first event, so that the competition ended successfully in advance. Poster No. 3 is on his way back. .

The countdown shortened rapidly and returned to zero in an instant.

She looked up and saw a skeleton standing in front of her. Every bone was beautifully maintained and the joints were filled with brilliant gold.

At the beginning of the mission, the host No. 3 gave her two S-class props and the "Temporary Worker Rules" and teleported away, and now he teleported back.

Sure enough, this copy was full of holes.

If she didn't take action immediately, but made a battle plan and delayed it, she might not be able to collect the rent even when the landlord comes back.

"How's the rent collection going?"

There are no vocal cords, but the skeleton can make a sound, a high-pitched female voice.

"Put it away." Xia Qimiao put the scale on the countertop and waited for her to check.

"Hmph," the skeleton female voice said slowly and slowly, "10 households on the third floor, 9 households on the fourth floor..."

She stopped, as if waiting for Xia Qimiao to ask, but when she saw that the person on the other end had no intention of speaking, she lost her composure: "Why didn't you ask about the situation on the second floor?"

Xia Qimiao thought that sure enough, there was a problem on the second floor.

The skeleton then asked: "Did you find it?"

Xia Qimiao replied ambiguously: "I took two thousand from the household on the second floor."

The skeleton leaned back: "You actually discovered that useless thing. Bai temporarily adjusted the floor for it."

After calculating the number of households just now, she roughly figured out the whole story. The skeleton deliberately let the residents on the fourth floor enter the second floor. If she had not robbed, she would have received a thousand less.

This is the second pitfall.

No wonder the rent collection on the third and fourth floors was so smooth, and there was no commotion until the fifth floor. I have to thank this poster for letting her use this to make a mystery.

"Forget it, there is no difference between being short of three thousand and being short of two thousand. Why don't you go up to the ninth floor? The money you received less will have to be used to pay off the debt."

The skeleton knocked on the table twice with his finger bones, and then slowly picked up the scale. The empty eye sockets moved from the number on the scale to Xia Qimiao, and then from Xia Qimiao to the scale, and then took two steps back: "Nine Has the building paid you back the rent?”

Xia Qimiao did not expect to see the word "shock" on the skull's face, so she answered briefly and concisely: "The boss is generous and gives you more."

In fact, there was also sponsorship from 504, but she omitted it.

"Okay, okay, your work is over, let's go, let's go." The skeleton waved his arms impatiently twice.

After Xia Qimiao received the notification sound of the end of the copy, her vision went dark. After it lit up, the first thing that came into view was the bed curtain in the dormitory.

She was greedy for bargains and chose the lower-priced model, so the fabric was very thin and couldn't block the light from the light strip.

She used to feel it was dazzling, but now she just feels relieved.

She took two deep breaths, then took out the black mobile phone from under the pillow.

After clicking it, the screen took two clicks, and then the word "Xia" twisted out. Each stroke squirmed like a bug and regrouped into a blood-red circle. It was the only APP on this phone.

In the real world, players cannot summon the panel. This mobile phone is the only channel to communicate between reality and the game.

She checked the settlement of this copy, her eyes passed over the "S+" rating, and was glued to the special line.
