C24 She Lived Under Someone Else's Roof.
Finally, after Wang Xinyue and Guu Wanjun washed up and returned to their rooms, Lu Shan quietly came out of the room. He quickly ran to the bathroom to solve his personal problems.
Of course, in order to avoid being accidentally intruded again, Lu Shan did not forget to lock the door of the bathroom tightly.
When he finally finished peeing, he turned around and saw a pair of underpants that had just been washed and were still dripping with water hanging on the drying pole. There was also a cartoon pattern that looked like a flower fairy on the underpants.
Lu Shan was a little shocked at that time. If he remembered correctly, this underwear was the one Wang Xinyue hung on her ankle earlier.
No wonder she hid in the bathroom and dawdled for a long time. It turned out that she was washing this thing!
It's just that you casually hung your underwear here? Am I that kind of person? At most, I'm just appreciating it. I definitely won't do dirty things. Xinyue still understands me!
Lu Shan's face was somewhat red as he circled around the underwear on the drying pole twice. He carefully admired the underwear from every angle. Finally, he resisted the urge to take it down and study it. He hurriedly washed up and went out.
Yi Xueer had to go to work today, so the three girls got up very early. And before they went out to work, Lu Shan had to leave the apartment. And before they came back from work, Lu Shan was not allowed to come back.
This was the additional rule Guu Wanjun made for Lu Shan. The reason was that they did not know Lu Shan very well, so they did not feel at ease letting Lu Shan stay at home alone. After all, they had paid a lot of deposit when they rented this apartment. If the appliances and furniture in the apartment were damaged or lost, the fees would have to be deducted from the deposits.
However, Lu Shan did not pay the deposit. What if Lu Shan sold all the things in the house when he was alone in the house during the day?
This had happened before. Someone rented a two-bedroom house with complete furniture and appliances. When he changed jobs, his income decreased. He had no choice but to rent out one of the rooms. In the end, he only took a month's rent from someone else. He didn't ask for a deposit. A few days after that co-renting friend came in, he took advantage of the time when this brother went to work to sell all the valuable things in the house. Then, this little friend directly disappeared!
It didn't matter if they were familiar with each other, but the problem was that the three of them weren't familiar with Lu Shan at the moment. They were naturally on guard.
Therefore, even if Lu Shan lived in the apartment, he did not even have a key. He was forced to go out every morning. Before those girls got off work, even if he wanted to go home, he wouldn't be able to enter the house.
Lu Shan was inevitably somewhat dissatisfied with this kind of treatment, but he had no choice. Who asked him to not have the money to rent a house? Now, he felt like he was living in someone else's house!
The girls did not have the habit of eating breakfast at home. They usually bought something to eat on the road before going to work. Lu Shan wanted to make some breakfast, but he didn't prepare that much yesterday. So, at around eight o'clock in the morning, he followed the three girls out the door.
The three girls got on different buses or took taxis to go to work. Lu Shan, on the other hand, used the excuse of finding a job to wander aimlessly on the street.
He really wanted to find a stable job first. If he had a stable job, he wouldn't panic. But the problem was, that damn novice task still had to be completed in 72 hours. It had already been more than 10 hours, he was very anxious! If he couldn't complete it, it didn't matter if he lost his profession as a chef. But if he didn't have a sense of taste for three years, then he wouldn't be able to enjoy any food he ate.
When Lu Shan slept at night, he thought about the novice mission. This mission wasn't difficult, but it couldn't be said to be simple. To find three ingredients that others thought were delicious but didn't know what they were, it was very simple for him. He only needed to find some uncommon ingredients on the dining table, then smash them into pieces and cook them into dishes. This way, it would be very difficult to tell what they were!
For example, he would pick some fish with a lighter fishy smell, pick some refined meat to make mud, and add some starch to fry them into fish cakes. Then who would be able to tell what kind of fish it was?
However, the problem was that he could not use money to buy these ingredients. This was a little annoying!
If he did not spend money to buy them, then he could only search in the wild himself! He didn't need money to buy the small fish in the river or the wild vegetables on the mountain.
But Lu Shan didn't have a fishing tool, and he definitely couldn't catch fish with his two hands. He could only go to the mountain and see if there were any wild vegetables he could dig up. But it did not seem like it was the season for wild vegetables to grow! Even if there were wild vegetables at this time, they would not be tender enough and would not be edible!
After hesitating for a while, Lu Shan opened the map on his phone again and checked it. Then, he decided to go to the Chicken Head Ridge in the south of the city. He planned to go there and try his luck. Even if there were no wild vegetables, he might be able to get some other wild food!
Otherwise, what else could he do? Nowadays, only things in the wilderness were free. But in the city, even drinking water would cost money. Unless he could put down the knot in his heart and be brave enough to be a thief. Then he wouldn't need to spend money on anything!
However, Lu Shan remembered that two days ago, he had met a thief on the road. He had even bravely stood up for everyone for the sake of justice! Therefore, he couldn't possibly steal other people's things.
Lu Shan went to the bus stop to buy a ticket to Chicken Head Ridge, and then he spent more than an hour to reach the small town under Chicken Head Ridge. After that, he started to climb up the mountain alone.
After a whole day, Lu Shan was exhausted. When he got on the bus back to the city, he was already lying on his seat. He could not even straighten his back.
Although Lu Shan had added a lot of Attribute Points to his body during the previous two missions, at this moment, his strength had far exceeded that of ordinary people. However, after climbing the mountain today, he realized that sometimes just strength alone was useless. For example, climbing a mountain required good physical strength. However, his physical strength was lower than that of a normal person. As a result, when he was halfway up the mountain, he was already exhausted to the point of gasping for breath!
Overall, he had gained a lot this day. He had collected a lot of messy ingredients. However, he had no idea whether he could complete the mission or not.
