The four items before Lin Ye were undoubtedly very powerful.
The first item was clearly a weapon. As for why a mage would use a pistol, Lin Ye was a bit unclear.
The second item was a potion. Just from the name and the fragmented introduction, it was clear that this potion was extraordinary, after all, dragons were the most powerful magical creatures in legends.
Of course, neither the first nor the second item was something Lin Ye needed to consider.
Because their prices were simply too expensive: 500,000 magic gold coins, which, according to the exchange rate between real currency and magic gold coins, amounted to a staggering 50 million.
And the price of the Dragon Blood Potion was even higher, reaching 100 million. Even if he received 10,000 yuan in tips every night, he would need to receive them for ten thousand consecutive days to earn that much money.
So Lin Ye immediately focused his attention on the last two items, especially the fairy prank silver coin.
Although this silver coin could only be used 10 times a day, and each time it could only ask 'yes' or 'no', if used well, it would be a divine artifact that could predict the future. With this, he could even become a fortune teller.
“300 magic gold coins, it seems not impossible.”
The tips he received from his performance at the Black Rose Bar tonight, plus the cash he earned from drinking with Huang Ying, totaled around 40,000 yuan.
If converted entirely into gold coins, it would be enough for him to buy both the fairy silver coin and the skill points.
But he didn't plan to do that. He wanted to see how many magic gold coins he would get after completing today's daily quest.
If the quest rewards were enough gold coins, he wouldn't need to waste any more money.
Thinking of this, he quickly opened the quest interface, and immediately, today's daily quest appeared before him.
【Daily Quest: As a noble Archmage, you must possess your own magic cabin as a place for living and practicing magic. Quest completion reward: 200 magic gold coins, Magic - Cleaning Spell】
Looking at the daily quest before him, Lin Ye couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.
“200 magic gold coins, 100 more than before, which is equivalent to an extra 10,000 yuan.”
“This way, I only need to spend 20,000 yuan to buy both of today’s special offer items. As for the Cleaning Spell, from its name, it should be for cleaning, so it’s probably not very useful.”
“As for the magic cabin, does it mean I need to own a house of my own?”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility. After all, he had previously bought a set of clothes that were recognized as a magic robe, so renting a house should complete the magic cabin quest.
Moreover, he had just been planning to rent a place outside. Firstly, he could have his own private space.
Secondly, he finished work very late every day, and if he continued to live in the dormitory, it would definitely affect his roommates' rest.
Of course, all of this would have to wait until tomorrow; his current task was to sleep.
Closing the system interface and plugging in his phone to charge, Lin Ye closed his eyes, and soon he fell into a dream.
In his dream, he became a powerful Archmage who could summon wind and rain.
By the time he woke up the next morning, it was already nine o'clock.
Still groggy, he was called awake by his roommate.
Just like the previous day, there were no classes scheduled today, but instead, a mental health lecture and a campus safety lecture were arranged.
After the lectures, they would be free to do as they pleased.
After finally enduring until the afternoon, Lin Ye immediately left the school and headed straight to the outside of a residential complex not far from the school.
Not long after he arrived at the complex entrance, a young man in a white shirt with a green work badge hanging on his chest was already waiting there.
Upon seeing Lin Ye, he immediately walked up to him.
“Hello, student. You’re here to see the apartments, right?”
Hearing the young man's words, Lin Ye nodded.
“I am Wanqing’s apartment manager. First, tell me your requirements, and then I will recommend a house based on your needs.”
“Hmm, I need one with an independent bathroom, preferably a one-bedroom. A LOFT would also work,” Lin Ye said after some thought, stating his requirements.
However, after hearing his request, the other party frowned.
“Both of those are quite in demand. As you know, there are several universities nearby, and it’s also adjacent to a business district, so many young people rent houses here.”
“I don’t have either of those types of units available right now.”
After saying this, he suddenly changed the topic.
“However, I can meet your need for a private bathroom. I happen to have a shared master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, about 20 square meters, and it comes with a balcony. Would you like to consider it?”
“This unit just became available today. If you don’t rent it, it will probably be gone very quickly.”
“Alright,” Lin Ye nodded after some consideration. Anyway, he only needed a slightly private space, and he didn't have very high demands for the living environment, as he wouldn't be living there during the day.
“Okay, then I’ll take you to see the apartment now. This way, please.”
Led by the apartment manager, Lin Ye entered the residential complex.
Ten minutes later, he was led to the 33rd floor of Building 12 in the complex.
“This is it, Room 3303. This is a three-bedroom apartment with a construction area of 128 square meters, which we’ve converted into four rooms. Currently, the second bedroom, study, and balcony room all have tenants living in them. Only the master bedroom became vacant this morning.”
While speaking, the apartment manager knocked on the door.
After knocking, he then entered the password on the main door.
As the room door opened, a small living room was the first thing that came into his view.
The living room was quite clean; apart from the uncleaned supper on the dining table and a few pairs of women's shoes by the door, there was nothing else.
After looking around, Lin Ye couldn't help but ask:
“How many people live here now, and what do they do?”
Hearing this question, the manager quickly replied:
“There are three in total. One seems to be a postgraduate student, one is an office worker, and another seems to be a streamer. Yes, a streamer.”
“Male or female?”
“They are all female, but they are most likely not around during the day, so you probably won't meet them. If you choose the master bedroom, you shouldn't have too much interaction with them.”
“Then there really shouldn’t be much interaction,” Lin Ye nodded. “Can I go see the room?”
“You can! This way.”
As he spoke, the apartment manager led Lin Ye into the master bedroom, which was at the very back of the apartment.
The master bedroom was quite spacious. Aside from a bed, a desk, and a chair, there was nothing else, making it look extremely simple.
The decoration was of the common 'string of rooms' type, cheap yet refined.
However, judging from the signs of life in the room, it should have been decorated a long time ago, so there was no need to worry about formaldehyde issues. If there was any, it would have been mostly absorbed by the previous tenants.
To the right of the master bedroom was an independent bathroom with a smart toilet and a shower room.
What surprised Lin Ye the most was that standing on the master bedroom's balcony, he could even see Drunken Moon Lake next to their school.
The lake surface, like a jade disc, was rippled by the breeze, sparkling under the sunlight.
He could faintly feel gusts of wind from the lake.
The scenery was quite good.
After looking around the entire room, Lin Ye straightforwardly walked up to the apartment manager.
“This is the one. How much is it, how do I pay, and how do I sign the contract?”
The other party hadn't expected Lin Ye to be so straightforward. After a moment of stunned, he quickly pulled out his phone.
Half an hour later, after completing all the procedures and paying four months' rent, Lin Ye officially became a tenant of this apartment.
1300 yuan a month, not too expensive, and the room perfectly met his expectations.
He only needed to add some daily necessities, and he could move in directly.
After the apartment manager left, he sat alone in the room for a while. Just as he was about to get up and go downstairs to buy some daily necessities, the door to the second bedroom suddenly opened.
As soon as the door opened, a girl wearing a loose white men's T-shirt, revealing her long legs, and with disheveled long hair, groggily walked towards the bathroom opposite the second bedroom, completely unaware of Lin Ye standing at the master bedroom door.
After entering the bathroom, she didn't even close the door.
Before long, Lin Ye heard the sound of water coming from the direction of the bathroom, followed by the sound of toilet paper tearing and the toilet flushing.
Lin Ye's face immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
Just as he was about to hide back in the master bedroom, the same girl groggily walked out of the bathroom again, yawning as she headed towards her own room.
Just as she was about to enter her room, she suddenly glanced in Lin Ye's direction.
With just one glance, her originally sleepy eyes immediately widened.
After letting out a gasp, she rushed back into her room at the fastest speed, then slammed the door shut and locked it.
Seeing this, Lin Ye also quickly ran out of the room.
He was panicking now. He hadn't seen anything, nor had he done anything, yet it made him seem like a perverted lecher.
“Didn’t they say there was no one here? Why is there still someone inside? She won’t think I’m a pervert, will she?”
Just as he finished speaking, the system notification sound rang out.
