Little Monster Manor

Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao took the bus to the subway to the bus to the bus, and it took five hours to arrive at the Seven Rivers Valley Scenic Area.

The two underestimated the time on the road. They thought they would arrive in the afternoon, but when they stood at the gate of the Qixi Valley Scenic Area, the setting sun had already set in the mountains.

The abandoned ticket office, the big rusty iron gate, and the endless scenic spot behind the iron gate, shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, looked particularly bleak and desolate.

"If it's an animation, there must be crows flying by now."

Lu Xingmang's voice fell.

"Ah—ah—" A crow flew towards the two of them.

Jiang Yao laughed loudly: "The crow really came!"

"You are the crow! Your whole family is a crow!"

"Crow" spoke suddenly, startling Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao.

It landed in front of the two of them, pointing with the tip of its wings to the work permit hanging around its neck.

Lu Xingmang leaned closer and tried to identify——Blue Bird, the manager of the logistics department of Shanhai Company.

Qingniao raised her head reservedly: "Please call me Manager Qing."

Lu Xingmang looked at the blue bird in shock. Legend has it that the blue bird is the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West and the predecessor of the Phoenix, with a bright color and a light body.

A black crow-like bird...is it a blue bird?

"Why is it black..." Jiang Yao spoke out Lu Xingmang's heart.

Manager Qing flapped his wings angrily: "Just kidding! Am I black? I am colorful black!"

Pfft—Manager Qing spat out a key and smashed it on Jiang Yao's chest.

When flying away, he slapped Jiang Yao on the head again.

Jiang Yao jumped up and grabbed Manager Qing, but he didn't catch a hair, and Manager Qing rushed to the sky in an instant.

Seeing Jiang Yao's aggrieved expression, Lu Xingmang quickly hugged him and combed Jiang Yao's messy hairstyle with five fingers.

"Frightened?"

Lu Xingmang thought, Jiang Yao, as an ordinary human being, must be very scared when he meets a monster who speaks people's words in his original form for the first time, and even gets slapped across the face, right?

Jiang Yao's hair was combed comfortably by Lu Xingmang, and the little anger in his heart quickly dissipated.He is a dignified dragon, and he doesn't care about a little black bird, let alone he has business to do now.

Jiang Yao held the big brass-colored key, walked to the gate of the scenic spot, inserted the key into the lock cylinder and twisted it, and the door lock opened in response.

The two walked into the gate, and felt the desolation and vastness of the scenic spot even more.

It was midsummer, and it was supposed to be the most luxuriant season of trees, but most of the trees on both sides of the road were dead, and the branches were covered with spider webs.

Garbage is scattered on the road, and the facilities on the square have been abandoned for many years, and the original color can no longer be seen.

Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao stretched out their hands at the same time and held each other's hand.

Lu Xingmang thought: "Jiang Yao is an ordinary person, he must be scared walking here."

Jiang Yao thought to himself: "Xiaomang is an ordinary person, he must be scared walking here."

The two walked hand in hand to the empty square, where six roads radiated out.In addition to the way they came from just now, the other five roads lead to mountains, hills, valleys, lakes and forests.

The two opened the panoramic map of Qixi Valley Scenic Area in the App. At present, the entire map is gray.

The huts they can choose are marked on the map.

There is a hut in each of the mountains, hills, valleys, lakes and forests.

The two first ruled out the one on the top of the mountain: "It's too high, and delicate humans can't climb it."

Then we chose a house on the top of the hill together, where we can have a panoramic view of the entire scenic spot!

The hill is not high, but the scenic spot is too big. The two accommodated each other's physical strength, and it took a full hour to walk to the foot of the hill.

At dusk, the scenic spot is even more mysterious.

Lu Xingmang turned on his phone to check the time: "If you don't go back, you won't be able to catch the bus."

Jiang Yao: "It's all here, let's go up the mountain to have a look. Are you tired, shall I carry you up?"

Of course, Lu Xingmang would not let Jiang Yao, a delicate human being, carry him on his back.

The two climbed the mountain hand in hand, Lu Xingmang wanted to go ahead to pull Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao wanted to go ahead to pull Lu Xingmang, it suddenly became a race.

It took the two of them only 10 minutes to climb to the top of the small hill.

Lu Xingmang thought to himself, his human partner really loves to be brave.

Jiang Yao thought, this must be the power of love, Lu Xingmang loves himself too much.

In the middle of the top of the hill, there is a two-story pointed cabin.

"It's here!"

The two strode across the weeds half a person's height, pushed open the wooden door of the hut, and creaked——

"Cough cough cough..."

"Ah!"

The hut was dusty, the floor was lifted, the windows were broken, and it was full of cobwebs. It was more dilapidated than the outside.

"It's too dilapidated. Let's change to another house and go to the valley or the lake?" Lu Xingmang frowned.

"Ding—" Their phones rang at the same time.

"Yes/No to choose this place as the home cabin?"

"This place has been selected as the home cabin!"

"The home hut has been positioned as a logistics point. In the future, the furniture, tools, supplies, etc. sent by Shanhai Company will be delivered to your doorstep!"

One prompt after another flashed on the app, Lu Xingmang stared, how could this be?

He didn't choose this place!

He's trying to change rooms!

Lu Xingmang suddenly turned his head to look at Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao reached out and touched his head: "That... I accidentally touched the button..."

Lu Xingmang's angry little flames rushed up.He took a deep breath and said silently in his heart, human beings are clumsy and normal.

After silently reading it three times, Lu Xingmang lost his temper: "Let's just go here."

Jiang Yao knew that he had made a mistake: "I'll clean it up, just sit and rest."

Lu Xingmang ignored Jiang Yao, there was no place to sit in the cabin now.He went around the upper and lower floors to distinguish the functions of each room.

The first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen, storage room, toilet and shower room.

The second floor is the study room, master bedroom, second bedroom, toilet and bathtub room.

Although the room is dirty and broken, the cabin has a great view, and you can see different views from every window on the second floor.

The study room can see the mountains, the bedroom can see the valley, and the bath room can see the forest and lake.

When Lu Xingmang looked at the scenery, Jiang Yao kept shouting in surprise: "There is water here!"

"There is electricity!"

"There are cleaning tools in the storage room!"

The tap water pipes hummed, and after returning to silence, clear water gushed out.

Jiang Yao's cleaning method was simple and rude. He moved the furniture, curtains...everything out of the cabin and put it on the weeds outside.

A long rubber tube was connected to the faucet, and the water was turned on to the maximum. Jiang Yao took the rubber tube and rushed, rushed, and rushed around!

The violent current took away all the dust and dirt on the second floor and flowed down the wooden stairs.

By the time the sewage turned into clean water, the second floor had been completely washed.

Jiang Yao continued to use the same method to clean the stairs and the first floor.

Two hours later, the weeds at the entrance were wet, and the interior of the cabin became spotless, with glistening drops of water everywhere.

Jiang Yao pulled out the rubber tube with a proud face: "Xiaomang, I cleaned it up!"

"We can sleep here tonight!"

Lu Xingmang pointed to the empty floor: "Where do you sleep?"

Jiang Yao was stunned. When he threw the furniture just now, he also threw the bed out together!

But those beds were dirty and broken, and even if they stayed, they couldn't sleep at all.

Jiang Yao thinks he made no mistake this time: "You sleep in my arms."

Lu Xingmang walked towards the shower room stepping on Jiang Yao's feet, and walked out half an hour later.

Another hour later, Lu Xingmang lifted Jiang Yao out of the bathtub after soaking in the bath for an hour and a half.

Jiang Yao's eyes were glued to the bathtub: "This bathtub is shiny!"

A moment later, the two lay side by side on the wooden floor on the second floor.

As monsters, they are not afraid of hardness or cold, but delicate humans are not.

"Let's sleep in our arms tonight." The two said at the same time.

It is rare for a human partner who loves to be brave to express his need for himself, and the hearts of both of them are soft at the same time.

Before going to bed, the two opened the app and found that the task had been updated again.

"Now come up with a name for the Homestead Cabin!"

The two named it "Xingyao Hut". After typing in it, they saw that the location of their hut was lit up on the entire gray map.

"Sunday Cottage

Repair degree 15%

To be done: roof repair

To be done: glass replacement

To be completed: weeding in front of the house"

Lu Xingmang looked up at the roof, and through the gaps in the wooden boards, he saw stars twinkling in the black sky.

...the roof really needs repairing.

Although Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao had never done house repairs before, they both thought they could do it.

Just where do the materials and tools come from?

Lu Xingmang was frowning and thinking, when the phone dinged, and the app popped up a reminder.

"House Repair Kit Purchased!"

"The house repair material package has been purchased!"

"I will send it to Xingyao House for you tomorrow!"

Jiang Yao's voice was proud: "I bought it!"

Lu Xingmang found the mall interface in the app, and saw the prices under the tool kit and material kit.

House repair kit (permanent use) - 2800RMB

House repair material package (for Xingyao House only)——28000RMB

"It's so expensive!" Lu Xingmang gasped.

Two thousand and eight plus twenty-eight thousand, a total of thirty thousand and eight hundred.

"Where did you get so much money?" Lu Xingmang realized a more critical question.

Jiang Yao pointed to the app and showed it to Lu Xingmang: "You can get a loan."

"...How much did you borrow?"

"Thirty thousand." Jiang Yao only had 800 yuan in his pocket.

"I will work hard to earn money, pay off the loan, and raise you, my family, and my future cubs!"

Jiang Yao, as a noble dragon, has a noble job.

He wears the dragon's favorite yellow clothes, wears the dragon's favorite yellow helmet, and rides the dragon's favorite black mount every day, soaring in the city, responding to the pious prayers of the small humans to the great dragon——

"Takeaway brother, can you hurry up, I'm going to starve to death!"

Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingmang with shining eyes: "I will work harder. The loan of 3 yuan can be paid off in a few months."

"Xiaomang, we have our own home."

"This cabin on the top of the mountain is [-] times better than my dream home."

Of course, Lu Xingmang also hopes to have a home with Jiang Yao. For the Jumang people, a small wooden house on the top of a mountain is certainly [-] times better than a house in reinforced concrete.

But compared to Jiang Yao who was full of excitement, Lu Xingmang checked the app calmly.

He didn't forget that they were still in the three-month novice mission period, and the signed contract would expire in three months.

If the novice task is not completed within three months and the contract expires and cannot be renewed, what will happen to the cabin they spent money and effort to repair?What about their 3 yuan loan?

Lu Xingmang found the terms of explanation in the app, and the words were smaller than ants.

"Once the package is purchased, it will not be returned or exchanged"

"If the loan is overdue, it will be punished by Tianlei"

"The loan provided in this app has nothing to do with the contract period, that is, after the contract is terminated, the loan still needs to be repaid on time"

"If the contract expires and is canceled because the person in charge of the project cannot complete the task, the land opened up by the person in charge, the house built, the plants planted, etc. in the allocated area belong to Shanhai Company and have nothing to do with the person in charge."

"If the person in charge successfully raises a monster during this period, the little monster's whereabouts are up to the little monster to choose."

Obviously, this is an overlord contract.

Once the task fails and the contract is cancelled, the houses they built on this land and the trees planted will be taken back by Shanhai Company, so the owed loans will continue to be repaid.

but……

Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao stared at the last item in the explanation clause, unable to move their eyes away.

As long as the monster Zai Zai is willing, they can take the monster Zai Zai away!

Apart from this domineering "endangered monster rescue plan", where else can they get the monster cub who calls them daddy?

With such a huge temptation hanging in front of him, Lu Xingmang thought it was worth taking some risks.

Jiang Yao patted his chest and said, "How could it fail?"

"With me here, every task is guaranteed to be successful!"

"Our contract will continue forever. The house is ours, the mountains and lakes are ours, and a large group of cubs are ours!"

Lu Xingmang smiled and shook his head: "Where can there be a large group of cubs?"

"We are participating in the endangered monster rescue plan. Every monster cub is extremely difficult to give birth to. It would be great if we could have one or two."

Jiang Yao didn't take it seriously, and with the blessing of the dragon clan, their cubs would definitely be in groups.

Although Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao had slightly different ideas, they made the same decision in the end——

Do your best to participate in the "Endangered Monster Rescue Project" and strive to give birth to monster cubs.

In the starlight leaking from the roof, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next morning, when it was just dawn, Lu Xingmang was awakened by the knocking sound of Tu Tu Tu, and opened his eyes to see Manager Qing, who was covered in darkness, pecking at the window.

Lu Xingmang hurriedly got out of bed, ran down the wooden stairs, and saw two oversized gift bags lying on the weeds in front of the house.

Lu Xingmang looked around, only saw Manager Qing's small figure, and asked in surprise, "You sent these?"

Manager Qing: "Yes, Father Lu!"

Lu Xingmang suspected that he heard it wrong: "What did you call me?"

Manager Qing's attitude was completely opposite to last night when he fanned Jiang Yao with his wings, his small eyes were full of flattery.

"Call your father!"

"The entrepreneurial spirit of our Shanhai Company - all the krypton gold is the father!"
