"Yes," Luke had nothing to be embarrassed about. If it was when he was down and out in the past, he might have felt ashamed at this moment, but now that he had earned 40,000 in two days, he was more confident than anyone else.
A truly confident person will not be afraid to face reality.
"You don't look like a student anymore. Where do you work now? Can you give me a proof of income?" Seeing Luke's calm face, Janice began to wonder in her heart, has he found a good job?
"Professional player." Luke pondered for a moment and felt that if he had to define his career, then professional player would be the most suitable. The life of a gold farmer had completely said goodbye to him since he made up his mind to break up with the Caroline Guild.
"Professional player!" the three girls said in unison, with strange looks on their faces.
"So you're a professional gamer, what game do you play?" The cute girl Debrah pouted, "Are you sure you can make money?"
"Dawn."
"You are also playing Dawn, what level are you at?" Janice perked up.
"Level five."
"Level 5, that's not bad, Debrah is also level 5," Janice pondered for a moment and said, "It's only been two days since the server was launched, how can you be sure that you can make money in the future, how many silver coins do you have now?"
"I have four or five gold coins on me. Players have fewer gold coins, so I've been selling things mostly with real money these days," Luke told the truth.
When the kawaii girl heard this, she immediately jumped up and said, "Sister Janice, don't listen to his nonsense. It's so hard to win money in Dawn. How could he have gold coins, and four or five at that!"
"It seems that a lot of real currency was also sold," Janice added in a low voice.
"How many real-world coins did you sell for?" Janice was a little unconvinced. Although she didn't play this game, she had heard Debrah complaining about how hard it was to make money these past two days, and that he even had to borrow money to repair his equipment by acting cute.
"Thirty-five thousand real currency." If you want someone to rent a house to you and you can't pay the full rent, you naturally have to make people believe in your ability to pay, so Luke didn't want to hide it.
He had no idea what kind of hornet's nest he had stirred up.
"Impossible, impossible!" The beautiful girl Debrah pulled her hair and rolled around on the sofa, on the verge of collapse.
"Sir," Janice calmed down a bit and said, "It's not that we don't believe you, but it's incredible that you can earn 30,000 or 40,000 real money from a game that's only been open for two days. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
"I can give you a screenshot of the account transaction details. One transaction was from the Moonblade Guild, selling them a skill book for 25,000 real coins. Another transaction was from the Water Elf, selling two bronze suit parts for a total of 10,000 real coins," Luke said.
"What? You were the one who sold the skill book of the Moonblade Guild, and also the water elf. So you are that...that...Luke?" Debrah stopped rolling around and started screaming.
"Pervert, Debrah has been calling you a pervert these past two days," Janice added in a low voice.
This woman has an extraordinary temperament and seems harmless, but in fact she is accustomed to taking advantage of anyone who is down.
"Shut up," Debrah and Janice shouted in unison.
Janice hugged her shoulders and curled up on the sofa. Her eyes were like water. She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice and looked pitiful.
"Tell us, how do you make money in the game?" Janice climbed up from the sofa, ran to sit next to Luke, and Debrah also came over. The two girls sandwiched Luke in the middle, two pairs, no, three pairs, including Janice, all looked at Luke with pious faces.
"Ahem, I think this transaction details should be able to prove that I am able to pay the rent, right?" Luke felt a lot of pressure when he was in close contact with two young and beautiful girls for the first time.
"Of course, of course," Janice nodded quickly, "Can you tell us now?"
"I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm just here to rent a house." Luke felt more and more that although these three women were beautiful, they actually seemed a little abnormal.
"Okay, let me put it this way..." Janice's mood suddenly dropped, and she told Luke the reason for her loss of composure.
This house was rented in the first half of this year. Seven college students set up a game studio, determined to achieve self-transcendence in the game "Future World".
Unfortunately, things happen unexpectedly. After only six months of opening for Future World, a large number of players left due to the impact of Dawn. Not only did the girls' initial investment go down the drain, but they also had to pay for rent, water and electricity bills.
The initial enthusiasm gradually faded away, and others left one after another, so only the three people in front of me were left in this small studio.
Janice's surname is Zackary, so she is called Zackary Janice. She is the boss of the studio and contributed the most money. When the partnership broke up, she also returned part of the shares of others and suffered the most losses.
As for Debrah, her actual name is Debrah Marie, but she doesn't like the name Marie, soshe changed her name to Debrah.
The place was deserted, and it was inevitable that the three people were disheartened. Janice even refused to play the newly released Dawn. Only the heartless Debrah entered the game, and his performance was terrible.
"We were full of confidence at that time and signed a three-year rental contract. Now we can only rent it out, hoping to suffer less loss," Janice concluded helplessly and also explained the reason for renting out the house.
What a rich man! Such a good location, such a good room type, large area, and also with a garden, swimming pool, and open-air observation deck. The monthly rent is estimated to be more than 100,000. He actually rented it for three years. Luke suddenly felt like a loser.
He comforted the girls who were grasping at straws and said, "Let's talk about renting a house first. We can talk about the in-game stuff after we enter the game. I will do my best to help if I can, but don't think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary player."
"Yeah, I understand, I understand, that's what most experts say," Debrah nodded like pecking at rice, with a look on his face that showed everyone understood.
Luke was speechless, while his little sister Gabrielle discovered the more amazing side of her brother and her admiration for him was like a surging river...
"There are three empty rooms in total, two large rooms and one small room. The large one costs twelve thousand and the small one costs eight thousand. If you can teach us how to play games, two thousand will be reduced," the three girls gathered together, chattered for a while, and quickly made a decision.
The rooms are all very large, and the smallest one is twice as spacious as the house where the Lu brothers and sisters live.
"Brother, let's rent this small one. It can sleep two people," Gabrielle suggested in a low voice. She had never seen such a luxurious room before. It was like a dream.
"No," Debrah was the first to object. She pointed at Luke angrily and shouted, "How can you do this, you pervert? Your sister is already so old, and you still sleep with her, you damn lolita, sister-con..."
The kawaii beautiful girl's imagination must have been maxed out. Luke continued to be speechless, and the other two girls pretended not to know her.
After making a fuss for a long time, she finally calmed down when Luke promised to rent two rooms.
"I'll charge you 15,000 dollar for the two rooms in total. Janice and I will start playing the game next week, and you can guide us then, with options for careers and leveling up." These students were all very wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't have rented such a good place. Now they suddenly realized that the reason their studio failed was simply because they chose the wrong game, and they immediately felt rejuvenated and generously gave Luke the biggest discount.
"If you join our studio, we can waive your rent," Janice said in a low voice.
