DAKTE Chapter 2

      Chen Lin lives in a village full of old houses that located in the city. The environment there was also not very good. When he walks on the street, he can often smell the foul odour that creeps from the ditch.


       The reason why the system complained that he wasted three days was because he spent all three days looking for a house in this location. It was accustomed with the extravagant habits of his former host. It can be said that it was dissatisfied with 10 000 houses chosen by Chen Lin.


      When Chen Lin passed by the smelly ditch, the system couldn't help but speak.


        【 Host, I may not have explained to you clearly before. In any mission world, this system can provide the host with endless financial support. In fact, the host can really find a house with a better surrounding environment. If you worry about economic problems, no matter how luxurious a house is, this system can afford it. 】


        Chen Lin spit the cigarettes in his mouth into the trash can around him, and said in a silly tone: "Okay, you can pay me to buy a big house, then we don't have to do this task."


        system:【……】


        【 Please remember host, completion of the task is the first element, slacking off will be result to be obliterated. 】


         Chen Lin: "Then stop talking about changing houses."


        The system’s voice suddenly became weaker:【 This system hopes that the host remembers to be kind to himself while completing the tasks dedicatedly. 】


     "I know, I will not treat myself badly."


       Turning, Chen Lin finally arrived to the outside of his rental house. At this moment, he took out a cigarette from a crumpled cigarette box and held it in his mouth.


        It was a five-story building with two bedrooms and one living room in each house. It was exclusively for the office workers around to rent a house. Chen Lin lived on the third floor. Although the day light was not good, it was still cool.


      When Chen Lin reached the second floor, a system alarm sounded in his mind: 【Host, please pay attention! Attention host! There is danger ahead, do I need to call the police? 】


      "Don't get excited, I can handle this."


       Chen Lin calmed down the system, and walked to the third floor without hesitation.


        In the corridor in front of a door, a few men wore same floral shirts pattern as Chen Lin and with fierce face was surrounding a gentle-looking man with glasses and a suit.


      The gentle-looking man had a big bruise on his face, with a line of blood flowing from his mouth.


        "In a few days, my bonus this month will be paid. I will repay the money I owe you."

      "In a few days? Do I not need to eat or drink water ? If you don't pay back the money you owe today, you will leave an arm. If you don't pay it back tomorrow, you will leave a leg. You can figure it out."


      Seeing that the emotional man began to plead with those little gangsters in tears, the system spoke up at the right time: 【 As far as the system knows, living in this kind of mixed place is the easiest to cause trouble, just like now. If you live in a high-end community, you will not this kind of trouble. This system suggests that the host should...】


       Chen Lin interrupted the system: "Do you know who this man is?"


       【 Please wait, the system will scan it. 】


         While taking advantage of system scanning, Chen Lin has already walked past.


        He took out a pile of cash that already been prepared in his pocket and smashed it on the head of the man.


        The man that being smashed abruptly was a little stunned. When he came back to his senses, he turned his head and looked at Chen Lin furiously: "Do you fucking know..."


         Chen Lin said to him at the same time: "Do you fucking know who Lao Tzu is? You dare to come to collect debts. You really don't want your life."


         He leaned against the wall with a pair of legs and lit the cigarette casually. Coupled with the tattoos on both arms it made him full of aura.


      Those little gangsters were immediately fooled by him, and forced to ask: "Which group are you?"


        Chen Lin raised his head, his eyes sharp like a falcon: "Are you guys worthy to know?But I can told you that the the most profitable place is covered by my boss. This is my brother. What he owes you, I will pay it back for him. After you taking the money, I still have much time."


       Those who are fooling around on the road are most afraid of making wrong moves. Those people can't figure out his details and don't want to cause trouble, so they immediately took the money and left.


      As soon as those people left, Chen Lin spit out the cigarette in his mouth and smashed it with his toes. He walked towards the man who was sitting on the ground, and then stretched out his hand: "Hey, get up."


       Others are heroes that save a beauty, but he saved a man. If it is not for the mission, he doesn't have to pretend to be such a bully.


       The system was silent for a while and spoke:【 Zhao Tou, assistant of Zhai Zongting, the owner of Tiansheng Real Estate, owes a certain amount of money due to an illness...Host, it turns out that you are looking for a house in this poor place entirely for the task, this system is very happy...】


        As the system was talking, it also use the sound of a child sniffing.When he heard it, the goosebumps on Chen Lin's arm goes straight out.


       Sitting on the ground, Zhao Tou gazed at the hand with distinct bony joints in front of him for a long time before he grasped it and stood up with the strength of the other side.


         "My friend, I really thank you for just now. I will definitely repaid back the money you paid for me when I get the bonus."


          "You don't have to pay it back. We are talking about a sense of loyalty. We carry the money to help others solve problems. What's more, we live under the same roof, so we should help each other if we have trouble in the future. "


         Zhao Tu was accustomed to the scheme at the work so when he heard Chen Lin's words, he was immediately moved into tears. The tears that had just dried out began to over the golden hill again. He held Chen Lin's hand while kept thanking him.


         The relationship between the two instantly changed from a stranger living under the same roof to a good brother who had a fateful friendship.


          After tossing for a long time, his body was full with the smell of sweat all over. Chen Lin went into the bathroom as soon as he entered the house and Zhao Tou chatted with him at the door of the bathroom.


         "My buddy, I just saw you have a strong aura. Are you really a gangster?"


           Chen Lin took a handful of water, poured it on his face, and sighed after hearing the words: "Oh, I was bluffing them. If you want to live well in this society, you have to be a good man of five virtues. If not, sooner or later you will have to stay in the classroom just like those gangster.


       "..." Zhao Tu said with a dry smile, "Then your acting skills are pretty good. When you did that just now, you really fooled me."


          After two minutes of embarrassment, Zhao Tu said again: "These two tattoos on your arms are pretty good. You can see they looked domineering. It should hurts when the tattoo master makes them for you..." Right.


      Chen Lin just rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders, flushed his arms, and then put some soap on them. After rubbing them with his hands, the green dragon disappeared. With another rub, the tiger would go to the end.

      

        While rubbing the tattoo stickers, he said: "It's very domineering. It just that it can't get wet. When it get wet, it will expose."


       Zhao Tu raised his hand and pushed his chin, which was a little unfit. He then laughed and said: "Ha ha, yes, tattoo stickers, no matter how good the quality is."


...


         In the afternoon, Zhao Too was called back to the company via phone call from his own boss. Before leaving, he said to Chen Lin, "Didn’t you say you’re looking for a job? There’s an old computer that can access the web page or something in my room. You can go to my room."


         System:【 What a flow ah, when he went out the previous two days, he seemed like he wished to add a few more locks to the room, but today he let you in and out freely. 】


        Chen Lin curled his lips: "Do you think my pile of banknotes was thrown for nothing?"


        The said system have nothing to say.


        If everything can be solved with money, it doesn't have to work hard to find a host.


       It can only be said that an excellent host can maximize the use of the resources on hand to complete their tasks.


       This time, it choose the right person.


     Chen Lin dragged his slippers and walked into Zhao Tou's room. Then he look for informations in his room.


       Of course, the more information about the target person, the better.


        Soon, Chen Lin found a memo in a magazine on the bedside. The A4 paper-sized memo was packed with Zhai Zongting's likes, dislikes and things that need to pay attention.


        First: He doesn’t like to eat peppers, celery, coriander and foods with heavy flavours.


      Second: He like the sweet and sour pork ribs and pork bone noodles at Penglai Xiang Restaurant.


      Third:...


       The first few items are all in the first night Chen Lin moved here when he heard Zhao Tou recite it on the balcony. In order to serve his big boss, Zhao Tou can afford to be careless as he fear that he would accidentally upset his boss and lose his job.


       However, Chen Lin's memory is much better than Zhao Tou's, he can remember a lot at a glance, and if he consolidates it twice, he basically will not forget it.


     What's more, even if he can't remember, he still has a system in his brain.


      After Chen Lin had memorized all the contents of the memo, his eyes fixed on one of them.


       On Saturday afternoon, he will go to the swimming pool for two-lap swim. Then he will come out to have a meal, and in the evening, he will go to the night bar for a while.


       Swimming pool, bar...


       If he want to raise the hatred value, these two places are good places. It seems that he has to prepare well.


       After putting the memo back into the magazine, Chen Lin went back to his room. Although he doesn't have a computer, he has a mobile phone. These days, as long as he was connected to the Internet, a small mobile phone can do a lot of things. Anyway, there will always be enough money in his account.


         He registered an account, then entered a cosmetics shop. He began to search for the goods such as sunglasses, wigs, foundation... .He bought almost all the things he can use for cross-dressing.


       As it was purchased in the same city, the seller promised to deliver it within three hours. Chen Lin glanced at the time and saw it just in time.


         He just didn't expect that he succesfully submitted the order.Before half an hour, the doorbell rang. The big brother who lived on the fifth floor stood in front the door, holding a pile of packing boxes of the cross-dressing items.


         "I am very busy here. We are all neighbors. You can wrap the package by yourself."


       Chen Lin looked at the other without expression: "No problem, but we live so close, can you refund me the 50 yuan express fee?"


        The big brother glanced at him silently and stuffed everything into his hand and then went away.
