Chapter 2482 House Renovation
The old robber looked at Li Cheng and suddenly said: "In that case, I will help you once. In fact, I still have a property at the entrance of Eight Lanes. I left this property to Xiaoyi. If one day I am too old to move, Xiaoyi can live there at the entrance of Baxiangkou, where at least he doesn’t have to worry about being bullied. , now since that house is so useful to you, I will give that house to you."
When Li Cheng heard what the old man said, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he immediately shook his head and said: " No, Uncle Robber, I can’t take your house. That house belongs to you, and I can’t take it.”
The old robber looked at Li Cheng and said in a deep voice. The property I gave you was not for free. I have a request. If one day I am gone and you are still alive, or your Siyi Gang still exists, I want you and your Siyi Gang to do it. Protect Xiaoyi and ensure Xiaoyi’s safety, and Xiaoyi cannot be forced to join the Siyi Gang unless Xiaoyi volunteers.”
When Li Cheng heard what the old robber said, he said. He couldn't help but be stunned, then he looked at the old man robber, then nodded slowly and said: "Okay, uncle robber, I remember what you said, as long as I, Li Cheng, am not dead, and as long as the Siyi Gang exists, we Siyi The gang will definitely protect Xiaoyi’s safety. If Xiaoyi is not willing, we will never force Xiaoyi to join the Siyi Gang. We will never force him to join the Siyi Gang. Please rest assured, Uncle Robber.”
The old man robber nodded, then waved his hand, and a piece of paper appeared in the old man's hand. The old man handed the paper to Li Cheng, turned around and left.
Li Cheng took the paper the old robber gave him. After taking a look at the address on it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. The address the old robber gave Li Cheng was actually a house in a good location at the entrance of Eight Alleys. The house Li Cheng had seen before, it was just an ordinary It was a private house, but the location was very good and suitable for business. He originally wanted to buy that house, but later he found a jade sign hanging outside the house, which meant that his owner was in retreat. Naturally, Li Cheng It's not easy to disturb him, so the matter will be left alone.
But he didn't expect that the house would be handed over to him now, and in this way. Li Cheng was really happy, and at the same time he was also grateful to the old man.
He does not know the real name of the old robber. In fact, it is impossible for you to know the names of many old people living here in Shigu Lane. Their names have long been forgotten. They now have , it’s just a code name.
The nickname "Old Robber" is actually because of his appearance. The appearance of "Old Robber" is really scary. If one had practiced to his level, such an injury should have been cured long ago, but it was very difficult. Obviously the person who hurt him back then was not a weak person, so his injury could not be healed. Although it finally healed, the meridians there were completely destroyed, leaving horrific scars.
It is precisely because of his appearance that he got the name "Old Robber", but everyone who knows him knows that he is a hard-faced person with a soft heart. He is very powerful, but his heart is very soft.
When Li Cheng lived here in Shigu Lane, he had always stayed at the Return Hotel, so he was very familiar with the Return Hotel and had a good relationship with the old man. However, he did not expect that , one day the old robber will give him such a good house.
But Li Cheng also knew that he would never say thank you for a great favor. If he wanted to repay the old man who was a robber, he would just need to prove it with more actions in the future, instead of just talking about it.
When he thought of this, Li Cheng immediately put away the deed, then turned to everyone and said: "Okay, now that the house is available, we will go over and renovate the house immediately, let's go."
Others are also very happy and will soon Following Li Cheng outside, Zhongyi soon arrived at the entrance of Eight Alleys and found the house. Although this house was an ordinary private house, it occupied a large area. There were two large courtyards at the front and back, and in the middle There are three houses, a main house, plus left and right side rooms.
Li Cheng and the others came to the yard and looked around. The yard was quite nice and large enough. Li Cheng immediately said to the others: "You guys should leave the city right away and collect more stones and wood. We need to Build a facade in front for business I'm going to go to Bahuan City to report it now. If we don't report it, our store won't be able to open."
The other people immediately responded, then turned around and left, and Li Cheng. He also turned around and left the yard, heading straight towards the Eight Fantasy City.
Bahuan City is located in the center of Baxiangkou. It is a city within a city. To be precise, it is a castle-like building. It looks very beautiful from the outside. What is inside? This is the case, but few people know it, because few people can enter the Eight Fantasy City.
Although there is no moat outside Bahuan City, there is still a city wall. There is a row of houses outside the city wall. That row of houses is where Bahuan City operates. What do the people here at Baxiangkou do? , you can come here to report, and Bahuan City will take care of it.
Li Cheng has been around Wangyue City for a long time, so he naturally knows the situation here in Bahuan City, so he came to the row of houses with familiarity, looked around at the row of houses, and found that There were no obvious reminders on the outside of the row of houses, so he didn't look at them and went straight into a room. There is a long bar in this room, and five monks are sitting behind the bar. These five monks are all wearing ordinary gray monk uniforms. They are not very strong, and they don't have any overly arrogant expressions on their faces.
Li Cheng did not dare to neglect, he immediately bowed to the monks and said: "Hello everyone, I am the owner of the courtyard at No. 57 Jiazi Street. I want to be at No. 57 Is it possible to open a restaurant in the courtyard?"
One of the monks looked at Li Cheng and said with a smile: "Sir, please come here to speak, Jiazi Street. Where is Courtyard No. 57? , I remember it was an old gentleman’s property, right? How did it become yours?”
Li Cheng said with a smile: “It was given to me by that old man, and I have some friendship with that old man. I also want to do business here in Wangyue City, but there are not many places where people can do business safely in Wangyue City. Baxiangkou is the most suitable place, so I want to do business here in Baxiangkou, but it is a pity. yes , I never found a house before I left. Later, my uncle gave me his house, which was No. 57 Jiazi Street. However, that yard was only suitable for living. I wanted to build a restaurant. It needs to be renovated, so I wanted to report it here."
The monk nodded and said, "That's right, you can do business in that house, but you can do business in that house. You should also know that doing business here in Wangyue City is the same as establishing a force. You have to hand over 10,000 jade essences to us in Bahuan City every year, and we will not care what you do in Courtyard No. 57. But even if you want to develop your own power, the number of people in your power cannot exceed one hundred. At least there cannot be one hundred people in Courtyard No. 57. Do you understand?”
Li Cheng immediately said: "Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, sir, I won't let him mess around."
The monk nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Very good, you understand." That's fine. As long as you can do business with peace of mind here in the alley and don't cause trouble, we won't I will take care of you, but if you dare to actively attack others and we find out, we will not let you off lightly."
Li Cheng said quickly: "Please rest assured, sir, I won't. Frankly speaking, I'm sorry. It is indeed the formation of a force. You should also know that here in Wangyue City No force can survive at all, but we just want to protect our own property and don't want to cause trouble, so please don't worry."
The monk nodded and said, "It's good that you know. , you pay ten thousand jade essence now, this time tomorrow In Laijiao, if someone gives you trouble this year, you can report it to us and we will help you solve it."
Li Cheng nodded and took out a space bag and handed it to the monk. Said: "This is ten thousand jade essence. Please keep it, sir."
The monk took the space bag, looked inside with his mental strength, and then nodded. Then he took out a jade token and gave it to Li Chengdao: "Take this jade token, if we are from the Eight Fantasy City, go there in the future." If he's looking for you, just show him the jade plaque." Li Cheng responded, the monk waved his hand, and then Li Cheng turned around and left.
When he returned to the yard, he found that the others had not returned yet. Li Cheng glanced around, then recalled the appearance of the restaurant Zhao Hai asked him to build. He began to tear down all the walls on one side of the yard. Then he started to use magic to dig the foundation. He was a teleportation monk. , it didn’t take long for the foundation to be dug. At this time, other people also came back. As soon as those people came back and saw the dug foundation, they immediately understood what Li Cheng meant. It seemed that building a store was definitely a good idea. There was no problem, and those people were very happy. One of them immediately directed everyone to start building the house.
The man who directed everyone to build the house was called Wu Yun. This man was also in the teleportation realm. Of course he was selected by Zhao Hai. In addition to being very reliable, he was also a good architect. In fact, Zhao Hai selected him These ten people all have their own strengths. Wu Yun is an architect. Among these people, there is also an alchemist and a weapon refiner. One of them is more proficient in the formation. Although these things they know, in the Siyi Gang It's not the best here, but it's fine for use here.
The monks built houses very quickly, but the house Li Yun and the others built was still a bit troublesome. Wu Yun had received Zhao Hai's instructions before coming to Wangyuexing. Under the house they built, It had to contain a magic circle, so they didn't build the house very quickly. One day passed, but they had just laid the foundation.
In the evening, Li Yun and the others returned to the Return Hotel to rest. Li Yun wanted to treat the old man robber to a glass of wine to thank him, but the old man robber did not agree. Although Li Yun was a little disappointed, it was hard to say. What.
The next day, Li Yun and the others went to Courtyard No. 57. Within a day, a three-story building had been erected, and it was very beautiful.
