MTL - The Supernatural Skill System of the Emperor Engine-Chapter 93
king. nodded, and then took out his mobile phone from his pocket - when he was traveling, the things he carried with him were also brought over.
"Is this the latest phone?"
Yotsuya Miko looked at the phone in King's hand and asked.
Chapter 131: A penny beats the hero!
"What a unique look."
Looking at the phone in King's hand, Yotsuya Miko sighed.
In this era of basically flip phones, the touch screen phone in the king's hands is very special.
At this time, King didn't answer Yotsuya Miko's words, his eyes were fixed on the big word "no signal" on the phone screen.
This mobile phone is a special product issued by the Association of Heroes and manufactured by Metal Knight. Although Metal Knight is not a good person, his technology is still trustworthy. This mobile phone can communicate in almost any extreme environment.
But there is a problem...
That is this phone is not of this world...
That means that the phone can't make calls now, there is no number that belongs to him, and there is no signal base station that it can use.
Advanced technology has become a burden, and the mobile phone in the king's hand is now just a brick that can emit light, and cannot perform the original function of a mobile phone.
"This phone is broken...I have to buy a new one..."
King thought for a while, then put the phone back and said to the girl beside him.
"what?"
Yotsugu Jianzi was stunned. Doesn't that phone look very normal?
At this moment, the king's expression became more and more serious, because he soon realized that the problem was more serious than the mobile phone.
That is money.
He didn't bring a penny into this world...
And even if it is brought, there is a 99% probability that it will not be used. After all, this is a new world, and I am afraid that the currency is completely different from the previous one.
In the previous world, king was a well-known superhero, and his income and treatment were very considerable. He also ignored this when he was traveling...
King never dreamed that he would have such a day when he was penniless.
He raised his head and looked at Yotsugu Miiko, who was still bewildered in front of him. The urge to borrow money from the other party was immediately suppressed.
Even in another world, the king's rule as a hero is still there.
"Yotani, is there any mobile phone store nearby that can take me there?"
king asked.
"Um!"
Yotsuya Kamiko nodded.
......
After the two finished their lunch, Yotsuya Miko took King to a nearby mobile phone store.
King's eyes swept across the dazzling array of mobile phones, and then focused on the price written on it.
Although King has a certain understanding of the currency circulating in this world, he has no understanding of the prices of commodities in this world at all.
But the most important thing is that the king is now penniless.
Fortunately, King has been prepared.
King walked to the counter, and the teller in charge of the front desk couldn't help but take a step back after looking at King, and his body also trembled.
"Welcome, welcome to..."
In the eyes of the teller, the tall king with scars on his face looked like a member of the underworld, which made him once thought that the king was here to smash the store.
Looking at the reaction of the teller in front of him, King felt a little helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Now he had something important to do.
"I want to ask how much this can be exchanged for."
While talking, King put his mobile phone in front of the other party, and the teller's eyes lit up directly.
Although there is no way to use it, for this world, this mobile phone is undoubtedly a high-tech product, and in the eyes of others, it must be expensive.
King can't do anything right now, and he can't do anything like robbery and theft, so he can only choose to sell the phone.
"Mr. King, are you going to sell this thing?"
Yotsuya Miko on the side was a little surprised, because she thought this kind of equipment should be very valuable.
"Um."
king replied simply.
"How did you get this equipment?"
The teller asked curiously.
"My friend invented it."
king said nonsense casually.
"This is the level where you can apply for a patent!"
While the teller was talking, he couldn't help but nodded.
"I took this thing, don't you regret it!"
"Um."
King also nodded.
This mobile phone has no effect on me in this world anyway, and if I return to the original world one day, I can just ask the association to send me one.
For the League of Legends, this phone is not worth the money at all.
"So, how much do you want..."
The teller raised his head and asked nervously.
"You can do it yourself."
King said lightly, because he didn't know how much it was worth, so he used rhetorical questions to test it.
If an ordinary customer came to ask, the teller would definitely slaughter the other party, because their electronic sales industry relies on this method to eat.
However, in the eyes of the teller, king should be a knowledgeable person, and he will definitely not be able to deceive him.
And the most important thing is that King's appearance is too ferocious. He is definitely a member of the gang. The scar on his face is likely to be left when the gang is fighting.
If you offend the gang, this small shop is simply not enough to survive.
So the teller quickly gave a price. After comparing the prices of mobile phones around, King asked Yotsuya Miko's opinion. Feeling that the price was still considerable, he agreed to the other party's request.
After King got a sum of money, he also bought a mobile phone and set up a mobile phone card.
As the phone rang, King nodded with satisfaction, and soon left contact information with Yotsuya Miko.
For Yotsuya Miko, the king is his own kind of existence, and maybe it can help him avoid the troubles of ghosts.
As for King, Yotsuya Miko is someone he just met in this world, and he can easily integrate himself into this world.
"It's getting late, I have to go back to school quickly."
After Yotsuya saw the time on the phone, a worried look appeared on her face. Because of knowing King, she suddenly forgot the time, and she needed to go back to school this afternoon.
"Um."
King knew that the other party was just an ordinary female student, so he nodded. The other party had already provided him a lot of help, and it just so happened that he also needed to deal with some other things.
For example, finding a suitable house to live in.
For a king who has just come to this world, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all problems.
After Yotsuya Miko left, King immediately looked for a place to live.
With some spare money in his pocket, King wanted to find a good place to live before it got dark.
He looked at the advertisements posted on the wall and found a real estate agency, who immediately sent someone to take the king to search for nearby publicly rented houses.
But unknowingly a few hours have passed, and the king still has not been able to find a good place.
Either the rent is too high, and although the king has some spare money, it cannot support him living in such an expensive home, not to mention that he has to consider the issues of food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future.
Either the environment is too simple, and it is more appropriate to call it a latrine than a house.
"Sir, there is another one that may meet your requirements."
The intermediary thought for a while and said,
"But there is one thing I don't know if you will care, sir."
"What is it?"
king asked.
"That house is a haunted house...three term tenants have committed suicide there."
"..."
King was rather speechless. Originally, he was an atheist, but after coming to this world, he felt that his worldview had changed.
But it was almost evening now, and King didn't want to waste any more time, so he could only go to see that house with the mentality of trying.
"Go."
......
The two quickly arrived at their destination. The moment the intermediary opened the door, a strange cold wind rushed toward them, and the ground was covered with accumulated dust. It seemed that no one had come here for a long time.
"Sir, why don't you go in and see for yourself...I won't go in..."
The agent said with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Um."
King nodded and walked directly into the house.
The area of this house is very large, the decoration is also very delicate, and the luxury level can be said to exceed that of every previous house.
And its price is very low, all because this is a place known as a haunted house.
King activated God's virtual vision, and a dark cloud-like figure immediately appeared in front of him.
All are ghosts!
There are dozens of them, and their shapes are terrifying and twisted, some like beasts that have been pieced together, and some are bent at impossible angles.
Ordinary people can't see these things at all, but so many evil ghosts can make ordinary people shudder.
King didn't even have to think about it, he knew that these evil spirits were the reason for the mysterious deaths of the former tenants.
But now the king doesn't care at all.
At least in terms of value for money, this house is unmatched by other rental houses.
"Just here."
king. nodded and said to the intermediary outside the door.
"Okay... let's come out and sign the contract!"
The intermediary still kept a very embarrassed smile on his face.
After signing the contract with King and confirming the rent, the agent slipped away without looking back. Although he could not see the evil spirit, the legend of the haunted house and the chilling feeling made him not want to stay for long.
At the same time, behind King, a shrill voice rang out one after another:
"There's another person here, it looks delicious~"
"How should I kill him?"
"Hanging? Fire? Wrist slits?"
These evil ghosts walked up and down the house, and moved their eyes to the king one after another, and let out extremely uncomfortable laughter.
Only those who can see evil spirits can hear their voices.
