My days as a landlord in Gotham

"The landlord doesn't have to think about whether superheroes or super villains will come to your door now. You are still in the novice protection period, so you can do novice tasks with peace of mind."

Seeing Li Lei's worried eyes, Ted sent some comforting news.

"The second phase of the novice task is now released, 'A comfortable and clean living environment is the key to improving tenant satisfaction'.

What could make guests more satisfied than a comfortable and clean homestay?

Now ask the landlord to clean the bound house thoroughly within 6 hours, and the system will give rewards according to the cleanliness and comfort of the room.

If the score is below the passing mark, you get it! "

Li Lei gave Ted a white look. Of course he knew that if the score is lower than the passing grade, he will be unbound by the system, and then he will be obliterated. In the end, the author can only type "End of the full text"

Three words.

Li Lei opened the door and began to inspect his property.

This is a typical two-and-a-half-story independent apartment in the United States. The first floor has been transformed into Li Lei's office, which is the Zeno Financial Consulting Company under Li Lei's name.

In the United States, lawyers and accountants are the people every American has to deal with.

Unlike large accounting firms such as KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers, there are many small accounting firms and individual accountants in the United States.

After all, for individuals and small businesses, the service fees of large accounting firms are very heavy.

Li Lei's small accounting firm mainly provides services such as personal tax declaration and small business tax consulting, and the main customers are of course the working class and the less affluent middle class in Gotham City; There are many Asians in the dock who are also Li Lei's clients.

However, Li Lei found something in his mind. His original body was still providing tax services for some small gangs.

To put it simply, Li Lei has contacts with some small black gangs, helping them with tax returns, tax avoidance, and providing advice on money laundering.

Thinking of the size and decoration of this house, Li Lei understands that those gray incomes are quite high.

As for why the gangs in the United States still need tax services, it is because the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States

Much better than cops, sheriffs, and FBI agents.

So it is not surprising that accountants provide a series of tax services such as tax avoidance for gangsters, especially in Gotham, a big city that is almost controlled by gangsters.

Because the first floor is an office space, Li Lei hired a cleaning company to clean it twice a day, so there is no need to clean this floor.

The second floor is Li Lei's living area, including the master bedroom where Li Lei lives, the living room that doubles as a dining room, an open kitchen, guest bathroom and guest room.

Li Lei seemed to be a workaholic. Except for his own bedroom, the other rooms on the second floor seemed to be rarely used.

So while it's not messy, it's definitely not clean.

Li Lei thought for a while and began to clean the room. Then he checked the phone number of the flower shop through the computer and asked them to send some flowers and green plants.

The weather in Gotham is cold all year round, and the main color of the buildings in Gotham City is either black or gray, so it looks particularly depressing.

Li Lei didn't have the ability to make Gotham City undergo a major renovation, but at least it was possible to make his living place fresh and lively.

After about three hours, Li Lei finally cleaned up the second floor.

Now the second floor looks much cleaner, especially with the embellishment of flowers and green plants, the room finally has some vitality.

The remaining half of the floor is actually an attic where sundries are stored, and the entrance to the attic is on the side near Li Lei's master bedroom.

Li Lei jumped down and immediately grabbed the handle on the ceiling.

With a light pull, the partition at the entrance was opened, and then turned into a ladder and fell down.

Going up the ladder to the attic, Li Lei found that the original owner of the body was indeed a Virgo, and even the sundries were piled up in such an orderly manner that the rest only needed to clean up by himself.

"The landlord's performance is still full of heart, especially knowing how to purchase flowers and green plants without systematic reminders."

Ted nodded quite satisfied, "Unfortunately, it would be even better if the landlord can buy some accessories to make the decoration style more warm.

But radish and cabbage, everyone has their own preferences, maybe other tenants will appreciate the simple style of the landlord?

Alright, now landlords are invited to start accepting the rewards of the 'Novice Task Phase [-]'! "

This time, Li Lei didn't need a pop-up prompt, and just opened the system's item interface.

At this time, there are two books on the props interface that are shining brightly.

According to the skills of ordinary games, this should be a skill book, right?

It's a pity that he didn't know what skill it was, so Li Lei could only close his eyes and click the use button next to the skill book.

Then he opened the dialog box and obtained the skill of 'Sensing Words and Mood', which is the highest level; and the skill of 'Slick Tongue', which is the highest level.

After reading it, Li Lei clicked on [Landlord Information]

On the interface, there are indeed hidden options under the data, and in front of the options is [talent skill].

Li Lei then clicked on this option, and he found that he actually had many skills, such as accounting skills, lawyer skills, etc., but most of the skills were so-called entry-level or basic-level skills, only accounting, lawyers, and cooking reached the professional level. class.

As for the Sense of Words and Mood and Skill of the Tongue that I just obtained, they are at the master level. It seems that in order to show the difference, these two skills are shining with golden light.

Regarding the setting of such a domestic web game style, Li Lei couldn't help but complain psychologically. Will he go out in the future with big wings on his shoulders, a big halo on his feet, flowers and colorful rays of light scattered on his head, and others will see a full A person with a golden body shining.

"Stop being narcissistic, landlord. You still have the last 'novice task stage three' left, why don't you take advantage of the momentum and pass them all in one go?"

Ted said with a humble expression, "For every tenant who comes to rent, what they hope most is that the things they use are clean and unused by others.

That being the case, shouldn't landlords buy their own bedding and cleaning supplies for them?

'Purchase high-quality exclusive tenant supplies to meet their needs', now the host is required to go to the supermarket or any shopping place to complete the purchase of items within four hours, and the rewards and punishments are not much to say. "

"Are you afraid that readers will say that the author makes up the word count?"

Li Lei couldn't help complaining.

According to Google Maps, Li Lei has confirmed that the house he lives in is on Uptown Island in Gotham City. This is the site of Gotham's old-school gangsters, that is, the gangsters who control this place are Gotham's first-generation gangsters. , that is, the Italian gangsters and the Irish gangsters.

Originally, these two gangs were incompatible, but with the rise of new forces such as Russian gangs, Mexican gangs, and Vietnamese gangs, the old forces had to face it together.

What's more, fighting and killing is not in everyone's interest. You must know that Gotham City, which is known as the crime capital of the United States, also has a "Diamond District"

and "Fashion District"

This is not inferior to boutique districts such as Manhattan in New York and Ginza in Tokyo.

And these two essences are in the "Penguin"

Under the control of Oswald Coppert, and Copott is not only one of the four major families in Gotham City, but also the speaker of the Italian gangsters, and also the leader of the underground forces in Gotham City.

Therefore, Gotham City is not full of crimes as most people imagine. After all, for the economic development of Gotham City, these underground forces still have to compromise with each other.

Therefore, Avenue in Gotham City

and the road (Street)

Still safe; but those alleys hidden behind buildings (Ally)

It is the place where criminals and scum hang around.

Li Lei knew that the alley behind his house was very famous because it is now called "Crime Alley"

And the biggest case that happened on this alley was the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents.

And a little north of Crime Alley is the famous "Bowery Street" in Gotham.

Almost any normal Gotham person wouldn't go near it, because once you go in, everything about you will disappear completely.

In addition to these two "famous streets"

In addition, there are Crown Point and Rouge Point, just beside the Adams Bridge that connects Uptown Island to North Gotham County.

Rouge Corner is the most concentrated place for gangsters in the entire Uptown Island, but fortunately, as long as ordinary people don't bother them, they won't come out to cause trouble; as for Crown Point, apart from drug addicts and beggars, The most famous ones are prostitutes.

There are men and women, all skin colors, all races, you can choose; the important thing is that the price is cheap.

Of course, most people have various sexually transmitted diseases, even AIDS.

The place Li Lei was planning to go to was North Gotham County, because there was not only Gotham International Airport, but also several warehouse supermarkets near the airport.

For bulk shopping, warehouse supermarkets are undoubtedly the best choice.

And it just so happened that Li Lei found out that his original body had obtained a gold card for a Costco mass merchandiser's membership store, so Li Lei's destination was to drive across the river, and then go to Costco to buy what he needed.

Li Lei went downstairs and came to the backyard.

Two-thirds of the backyard is taken up by the garage, and the rest is planted with flower beds and a place to dry clothes.

There are two cars in Li Lei's garage, one is a pickup truck loved by most Americans, the Ford Raptor; the other is a Mercedes-Benz AMG that Li Lei uses when he goes out for business.

Because this trip was for purchasing, Li Lei still chose the Ford Raptor.

Before Li Lei drove, he took the Colt Delta Elite pistol from the gun cabinet in his room.

This is an improved version of the classic pistol model M1991A, although it is currently discontinued, it is still a favorite of many men.

Since Li Lei only has a public gun certificate but not a concealed gun certificate, he can only put the pistol in a very conspicuous place next to his seat.

For this crisis-ridden Gotham City, it is almost everyone's habit to carry a gun with them.

Except for those rich people who are surrounded by security guards, who can guarantee that they will not encounter some gangsters someday?

Having a pistol at this time will undoubtedly increase your sense of security.

Finally, Li Lei checked his wallet. He had all his credit card, driver's license and Costco gold card.

So Li Lei started the vehicle.

Turning from the back alley to the street, Li Lei let out a long breath.

Although in memory, I don't seem to have encountered any trouble in the back alley while driving.

But after all, it was part of Crime Alley, and Li Lei felt that it was better to be more cautious.

Li Lei turned on the radio, and then tuned to the local station——The Voice of Gotham.

Like all drivers, Li Lei is also a listener to the local radio station.

After all, drivers care more about music and traffic information broadcast by local radio stations than by chattering international news and financial information.

Today's Voice of Gotham seems to have broken the existing practice, and intervened a very rare news, "According to the news just received, Mr. Bruce Wayne, the heir of the Wayne family, returned to this city after disappearing for several years!"
