Red Rain

Thatched House

Chapter 3: Thatched House

Wen Lin is a real name-breaker, and nothing good can come from naming her.

My brain was frozen and I held it in for a long time before I finally came up with a name and entered it.

[The territory "stream" has been established. 】

Since it was built here for the sake of the creek, let's just live with this name. Wen Lin comforted herself that it didn't sound unpleasant.

[Name: Stream Refuge]

[Level: Shelter (next level camp)]

[Citizens: 0 (maximum capacity: 300 people)]

[Existing buildings: None]

[Account balance: 10 copper coins]

[Upgrade conditions: more than 250 residents, 2,000 copper coins, 7 types of buildings unlocked. ]

[People staying in your territory need to pay overnight fees. Please set a reasonable accommodation price for your territory! (This price can be modified at any time)]

Wen Lin thought about it. The game gave players five copper coins at the beginning. If she emptied them all, it would seem like she was being too ruthless. So she set the limit to three copper coins per night.

Prices will definitely go up in the future! Get a mortgage, become a capitalist and cut off all emotions and love!

[Congratulations to the players, you will be given one chance to unlock buildings and facilities as a gift to new players. Please select the building you want to unlock, this time it is free]

A dazzling array of buildings are arranged there, as well as exquisite illustrations, which are dazzling to see. There are workshops for making items, shops for selling items, machines for processing items, everything...

But these are not what she needs right now.

Her immediate needs were—she needed shelter from the rain, it was dark in the middle of the night, and she needed to sleep, and she would talk about anything else tomorrow.

And there was only one thing here that could meet her needs - a dilapidated thatched house.

Yes, she can only unlock this. Wooden houses, stone houses, and blue brick houses all need to be upgraded from thatched houses to become high-end things.

In the dog game, Wen Lin shook her head helplessly and chose the thatched house.

[Congratulations to the player for building x1 thatched house. Each thatched house can accommodate up to 4 residents. 】

[Please select the placement location of the building. It cannot be modified after placement and can only be moved when the territory is upgraded. 】

There is nothing in such a large territory, so where should I put it? For Wen Lin's convenience, he placed it directly in front of him.

On the barren land, a dilapidated thatched house stood up.

The thatch on the roof was already mottled and looked weather-beaten. The patches of mottled and messy grass looked even more miserable under the red rain, and it looked like it would collapse no matter how bad the weather was.

The walls of the house are made of simple wooden boards. The gaps between the wooden boards seem to have been eroded by the wind and frost of the years. Through these cracks, you can vaguely see the dim shadow of the interior.

A dilapidated wooden door was crumbling, barely able to block the wind. Wen Lin sighed and really wanted to recite a poem. The poem "Song of the Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind" was very suitable for this situation. She groaned and got in. inside the house.

It was dark inside the thatched hut. The dim moonlight cast a little light through the shabby windows. There were some shabby wooden furniture in the room. Wen Lin walked around and estimated that the whole house was about 40 square meters, with one bedroom and one bathroom.

The toilet in the bathroom is the most luxurious piece of furniture in the whole house - a toilet that can automatically handle excrement solves the problem of defecation in a very thoughtful way.

This one is free, and you will need copper coins to build another one. It costs twenty copper coins to build a thatched hut, and you will enjoy a 50% discount on any building built within 24 hours. For now, it only costs ten copper coins.

Sooner or later, the people would come, and it didn't matter whether the money was spent sooner or later. Wen Lin endured the pain and emptied his starting ten copper coins, and the territory now had two shabby thatched huts.

[Please set a reasonable daily rent for your thatched cottage! (This price can be modified at any time)]

Wen Lin thought about it and temporarily set it to 2 copper coins.

New players have a total of five copper coins, enter territory 3, live in thatched house 2, and directly empty their wallets.

…

Tang Yu and Tang Ke are a pair of sisters from a single-parent family. The elder sister Tang Yu is eighteen years old, and the younger sister Tang Ke is fifteen years old. One is a senior in high school and the other is a freshman in high school. They are both still in school.

The two followed their mother. Tonight, her mother happened to be working the night shift, so they were the only two at home. They were sleeping soundly when they heard the siren and hurriedly went downstairs to seek refuge.

I thought it would be no big deal, but I didn’t expect that the end of the world would happen immediately, and the game announcement also said that it would be the end of the world for a year...

Tang Yu was so dumbfounded that her brain stopped working. What would happen to her college entrance examination? One year later, I have forgotten all the textbooks. Can you wait until I finish the exam before you finish the apocalypse...

However, the monster that appeared next completely made her lose the energy to think wildly. Wolf dogs chased the crowd, and it was difficult for people to run as fast as they could for long.

Although they were notified quickly and logged into the game to receive weapons, how could two little high school girls have the courage to fight such a big wolf alone, or at close range?

The two of them didn't even have the courage to look back. They ran all the way to a place with few people, hoping that the wolf would let them go and hunt in a place with many people.

But she underestimated the wolf's patience. The wolf kept chasing the two of them. At first, they had sufficient physical strength to avoid being overtaken, but with the massive loss of physical strength, they soon lost their strength.

The distance between the two sides is shortening rapidly, and it will take up to three minutes to completely catch up, bite them to death, and devour them.

The two of them were in complete despair. Tang Ke was frightened and cried. The fifteen-year-old girl was not that mature yet and could not resist the feeling of approaching death. After crying, she had no strength to run away.

However, at this critical moment, her sister Tang Yu suddenly saw something strange not far away.

A faint warm golden light suddenly emitted from somewhere in front, and it was something like a cover that enveloped some areas.

what is that? Can you save them?

The two people who had originally wanted to give up rekindled their hope, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they inspired their potential and used their last ounce of strength to rush towards the golden range a hundred meters away.

[You have arrived at the "Stream Shelter" and you need to pay three copper coins as an overnight fee to enter. Do you want to pay? 】

The two immediately grabbed this last life-saving straw.

"Come in, dunk, dunk quickly!"

At this critical moment, the two sisters successfully entered the territory and were protected inside, successfully avoiding the wolf's pursuit.

The wolf dog took a step slower and did not bite the corner of her clothes. It roared incompetently and furiously outside the defensive shield and gave Wen Lin's territory a claw.

The two sisters, who were protected by the defensive shield in the territory, patted their chests for the rest of their lives, their legs went weak, and they sat limply on the ground.

…

[Your territory has been attacked, and the health bar of the defense shield has dropped to 980/1000. The loss of the health bar can be repaired with copper coins. Please pay attention to the blood volume and repair it in time. 】

Wen Lin was still tidying up in the thatched house. Her body was wet from the rain. She took off her coat to prevent herself from catching a cold and planned to put it on after it was dry.

This red rain is also magical. Although it looks red, it has no color on the clothes and body, and no dyeing occurs.

[The number of your subjects is currently 2, the overnight fee of 6 copper coins has been credited, and the current balance is 6 copper coins. 】

Only then did Wen Lin know that someone else had joined the territory.

She left the thatched house and stood under the eaves in a sheltered place from the rain, stretching her head and looking not far away.

Two little girls, one big and one small, supported each other and staggered towards this side.

The entire territory is about the size of a playground with a 400-meter running track. It has an unobstructed view. You can see the two thatched houses here, and they will naturally gather here.

The two little girls ran over quickly and followed Wen Lin's example and hid under the eaves of the thatched house, finally feeling a little more secure.

The two people's hearts were still beating very fast after they had just escaped from danger. After seeing other living people, they gradually calmed down.

As an older sister, Tang Yu was always more mature than Tang Ke. She took a peek at Wen Lin, who seemed to be getting along well with her, and mustered up the courage to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She held it in for a long time and her face turned pale. Holding back her blush, she said, "Hello...hello?"

Wen Lin gave her a friendly smile and comforted her with a gentle voice: "Hello, relax, it's safe here."

Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said eagerly: "What on earth is going on? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

Wen Lin shook her head, "I don't know."

"But I know this is creek territory, and the territory has a protective shield. We are safe until the protective shield is breached."

"The territory will be upgraded, and more things will appear for players to live in."

"I am the first player to enter the territory. This is what the game panel informed me." Wen Lin told lies without changing her face, without revealing her identity as a lord.

She planned to hide for two days to see the specific situation. If the game mechanism was sufficient and complete to ensure her safety, it would be better for her to stand up and accept her identity as the lord and lead everyone to get rich together.

After all, people's hearts are evil. If there is any extremely evil person who gets into trouble, it would not be good for him to send it in the early stage. He should hide it and observe it secretly.

"You can enter the thatched house, but you need to pay copper coins. If you have copper coins in your hand, it is recommended that you go inside and have a good rest." Wen Lin reminded her thoughtfully, "Killing the level 1 monster will drop five copper coins. If it’s gone, we’ll just earn it tomorrow.”

It's always windy and rainy standing at the door, but it's much more comfortable inside. Although it's far from a building, it's still a house.

"Thank you!" Tang Yu expressed her gratitude, feeling relieved and smiling sweetly.

The two sisters spent the rest of their lives in fear, and did not care that their wallets were empty. They immediately paid the money and hid in the thatched house to seek a sense of safety.

Wen Lin stood at the door for a while, staring at the red rain that had not stopped yet.

I don’t know what the world will look like when I wake up tomorrow. It won’t just go back to primitive society, right?

After just a moment of daze, other residents of the territory entered the territory. It seemed to be a wave, but there were quite a few people. They must have come together from some residential building.

24 new copper coins were added to the account, and the previous balance became 34. With the money, Wen Lin silently built three more thatched houses.

Within two minutes, a large group of people came over noisily and crawled under the eaves of the thatched house, trying to avoid the rain. The site immediately became crowded.

As if they were squeezing into a bus, Wen Lin was almost squeezed out of the roof by them.

no quality! Wen Lin's face darkened, and she got into the thatched house to avoid the crowd, and was too lazy to care about them.

The one she lives in is set up to live alone. The other four rooms have a maximum of four people in one room. Let them divide it among themselves. If it can't be done, they can make do under the eaves.

The house will only show that it is full and cannot be entered. If you cannot enter, you will not know how many people live in the room, and you will not be discovered if you live alone.

I don’t plan to build any more thatched houses for the time being. There are other buildings that need to be built and unlocked, so save some money first.

…

Nearing the early hours of the morning, Lu Guo entered the territory in embarrassment with his precious son.

The two of them were dodging around with their property until they saw the golden light here and were attracted to it. Finally, they accidentally ran into the safe area.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a house that could protect him from the wind and rain. The man's face suddenly felt happy. The building was collapsed and aging. It was not easy to find a building that stood in the rain. Finally, he didn't have to be exposed to the rain.

"Come on, son, we have a place to hide from the rain!" Lu Guo pulled his son and ran towards the four thatched houses.

However, as soon as he got closer, he was dumbfounded.

Several people squatted under the door eaves, holding their shoulders and trying to make themselves fall asleep.

"Why don't you go in?" Lu Guo scratched his head and asked in confusion.

The kind old lady sighed and explained to him, "It requires copper coins. Moreover, one room can only accommodate four people, and they are all occupied."

That's why they sat at the door, using the eaves to take shelter from the rain, hoping to spend the night like this. It's summer now, the temperature is not too low but not that cold, it doesn't hurt.

Lu Guo was dumbfounded. He thought he and his elder brother would have a place to live, but it turned out that it had already been robbed.

As a rich man, when had he ever been so angry? He just doesn't believe there is money in the world that can't solve problems.

Lu Guo refused to give up and shouted into the thatched house: "It's 50,000 yuan per seat. Is there anyone willing to give up his seat to me and my son?"

This voice woke everyone up.
