My place is on fire

Chapter 1039 New residence!

The conflict started suddenly and ended even more suddenly.

From when Nawaf led his men to the second floor, to when the conflict broke out, to when the conflict ended.

The whole process only took four or five minutes, which was quite fast for this kind of group battle.

"Ouch..."

"My leg is broken."

“I can’t move my arm.”

Those members of the Keye Gilded Brigade who were knocked to the ground by Gao Yaling lay on the ground wailing.

"This……"

Jenny and Jadry, who witnessed the entire incident, were dumbfounded.

  What is this person's origin? His fighting power is so terrifying!

Single-handedly, he took out more than a dozen members of Koya's Gilded Brigade with his bare hands!

No matter how incompetent these members are, he is still a serious adventurer!

These are all people who have passed the basic warrior test!

"This lady's ability is definitely at least two levels higher than Director Lei's!"

After seeing the strength Gao Yaling displayed in the melee just now, Jenny finally understood why Manager Lei attached so much importance to her!

Master!

This woman is definitely a rare master!

  The Koye Gilded Brigade were foolish to have encountered her. If they don't admit defeat this time, there will be even bigger setbacks waiting for them!

"Boss, I'm sorry to trouble you. Can you recommend me an inn that's stronger and won't be harassed by others?"

After Gao Yaling was disturbed by a group of people from Keye's Gilded Brigade, she no longer wanted to live here. Maybe the other party would call more people later.

She had to go through the trouble of teaching more people a lesson over and over again, and she was getting a little fed up with it.

  She just wanted to find a relatively quiet place to take a shower, have a nap, and then leave. Why was it so difficult!

"I'm very sorry, ma'am, that I couldn't help you solve your problem. I hope you can forgive me."

Jenny apologized to Gao Yaling with a slightly embarrassed look. Lei Luo sent him to solve Gao Yaling's problem, but obviously he failed to do so.

"I will report the situation here to Director Lei truthfully after I return."

"I believe that Director Lei will negotiate with the top leaders of the Keye Gilded Brigade and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"No need. I never take this group called the Koye Gilded Brigade seriously. They pose no threat to me at all."

Gao Yaling looked at Jenny and said confidently, "More than a dozen people came today, and I repelled them.

If they come with a hundred men, I will repel a hundred of them. As long as they are not afraid of getting hurt or dying, it doesn’t matter how many come.”

Just as Gao Yaling said, she never really took seriously the few ignorant people or gangs in the city who were looking for trouble with her.

Even without using her signature skills, she can roam freely in Storm City with just her basic martial arts skills.

If we open fire at full power, we can kill those useless people in the Koya Brigade in seconds.

"This……"

After hearing Gao Yaling's confident declaration, Jenny showed an awkward but polite smile on his face.

The fact is indeed as Gao Yaling said. With her strength, she really doesn't need to take those people from the Ke Ye Gilded Brigade seriously.

Nawaf, who was pretending to be cool in front of him just now, is now a complete clown.

  He thought he was very powerful and that he had the most people, but in the end he was still beaten down by one person!

Aren't you Nawaf very powerful? Why did you run away with your tail between your legs like a defeated dog?

"Thank you for your concern, but no need, please go back."

Gao Yaling felt that Jenny couldn't help her in any way, so she simply sent him away.

"Uh...Okay ma'am, if you need any help, you can always come to Jubao Pavilion to find us. We're always here to serve you."

Gao Yaling asked Jenny: "Can you help me sort out the situation here? I don't know much about the rules in your city."

Jenny quickly said, "Of course, I'm happy to serve you. You don't have to worry about things here anymore. We will take over."

Gao Yaling said: "Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome. I'll report this to Supervisor Lei right away and he'll send someone to handle it."

Jenny saw that there was no point in staying here any longer, so he said goodbye to Gao Yaling and turned away.

Seeing that Gao Yaling was still thinking about the aftermath, Jadley looked at her with gratitude in his eyes.

Such a large-scale group fight broke out in the inn today. If no one cleans up the mess, he will be in big trouble.

Being unable to operate for a month or so is the least of the problems; it is possible that the business may be closed down altogether.

Now, Gao Yaling has entrusted Jubao Pavilion to take care of things here, and the business can resume tonight.

  This is the difference between having connections and having no connections, between having people and having no one!

"Ma'am, if you don't mind, I have a relatively quiet house in the city that you can stay in temporarily."

"That house is much quieter than places like the inn."

Jadley never missed any opportunity to curry favor with Gao Yaling. When he heard that she wanted to move to a new place, he suggested that she move to his private residence.

Private residences are definitely much quieter than places like inns and are less likely to be disturbed.

His enthusiasm can be regarded as a way of returning a favor and repaying Gao Yaling's kindness.

Gao Yaling looked at Jia Deli and asked, "Oh? Do you have a place? Of course that would be great. Thank you, boss. How much is the rent?"

Jiadli said hurriedly: "No need to pay the rent. The rent you gave me before is enough."

"Let's put things in perspective. I've damaged a lot of things in your inn. The 1 yuan should be regarded as compensation for your losses."

"Well, I'll give you another 5 to rent your house for a period of time, from ten days to half a month, or as long as a year or two."

"I'm not sure exactly how long I'll stay here and when I'll leave."

As Gao Yaling spoke, she took out 5 Storm Coins from her pocket and handed them to Jadley.

"Ma'am, this is... too much, too much!"

After Jadley received 5 Storm Coins in rent from Gao Yaling, he looked flattered.

  The rent of 5 yuan is enough for Gao Yaling to live in his house for several years!

"Take it. There may be many places where you will be needed in the future."

"Like helping me make food, helping me boil water, and so on and so forth."

"Can the aunt from before come with me? I can afford her salary."

5 Storm Coins is not a large amount for Gao Yaling.

A piece of sand crystal can be sold for more than 100 million. It is easy and simple for her to make money.

Even if you are unlucky, you can still get a sand crystal by killing 10 elite sandmen.

This is equivalent to killing 10 elite sandmen to get 130 million Storm Coins.

One is equivalent to 13 Storm Coins!

With Gao Yaling's current strength, it would take her no more than 3 minutes to kill an elite sandman alone! After taking a good rest in Storm City, she could go out of the city to kill enemies and earn tens of millions in one day!

Spending 5 yuan to pay for daily necessities is not a luxury for her and is completely affordable.

"Yes, yes, of course! From now on, Youlin will be your exclusive servant, you can tell her to do anything!"

After saying this, Jadley loudly called out to the waiter who had previously provided service to Gao Yaling and called her over.

"Youlin, from now on you will be this lady's full-time servant. You will do whatever she tells you to do. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Boss!"

You Lin nodded respectfully, and looked at Gao Yaling with even more awe.

"Can you take me to your house now?"

"Of course! Please follow me! I'll take you there now!"

After saying this, Jadry took Gao Yaling out the door and walked towards his private residence.

Jadli's private residence is only a few hundred meters away from the inn. It is a stand-alone two-story stone building.

The entire building was dug out from a huge piece of stone. It has two floors and a total of 5 rooms.

In Storm City, there are many single-family buildings carved out of whole stones like this, which can be regarded as a characteristic building of Storm City.

The smaller stone houses only have one bedroom, while the larger ones have five or six floors, or seven or eight floors.

The largest stone building in Storm City is the City Lord’s Mansion. It is more than 50 floors high and towers into the clouds, like a small hill!

Jadry's building is the most ordinary one in Storm City. When he bought it, it cost him nearly one million Storm Coins.

"This is it. The first floor is the dining and leisure area, and the second floor is the rest area."

"I bought this building for my daughter six years ago, but..."

When talking about his daughter, Jadry's expression suddenly became a little sad.

Gao Yaling was intrigued by Jiali's words and asked, "What happened to your daughter?"

"She...she is also an adventurer like you."

"Three years ago, the Gilded Brigade she was in was wiped out during an expedition, and not a single soldier returned."

"I haven't seen her alive or dead. I have been waiting for her to come back for so many years, but she has never come back."

When he came to this stone building, the scene reminded Jadry of his mysteriously missing daughter.

When he just lost his daughter, he felt like the world was falling and his whole life had lost its meaning.

It took him three full years to get over the grief of losing his daughter.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Haven't we seen the body yet?"

"Maybe she's still alive, but is trapped somewhere and can't get out?"

Gao Yaling also knew that this possibility was very small, but it was not impossible.

She is optimistic by nature and prefers to think positively when looking at things.

"Haha, I hope so. I'll count on your good wishes."

Jadrili continued: “Although this building has not been occupied for several years, I ask Yulin to clean it every week.

She just came to clean yesterday, everything is clean, you can rest assured to live here."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Jia. By the way, is there a wooden tub for bathing here? By the way, can you help me boil some hot water?"

Rest is secondary. Gao Yaling’s main purpose of going into the city this time is to take a comfortable hot bath!

Of course, it would be best if you wash it once a day!

Jiadli nodded and said, "Of course, you can tell Yulin to do all these, she will do everything well!"

"Okay, Manager Jia, go ahead and do your work. If there's anything, I'll talk to this aunt."

"Okay, ma'am. I wish you a pleasant stay. I'll be leaving first. If you need anything, you can ask Youlin to find me at the inn. I'll be at your service at any time!"

Jiadli said goodbye to Gao Yaling and prepared to leave.

After all, some things are more suitable for Youlin, who is also a woman, to do, and he is a bit redundant here.

  After watching Jiadli leave, Gao Yaling looked at Youlin and asked:

"Auntie, where can I get bath water here?"

"Hello ma'am, there is a place in Storm City that sells water. A bucket of water costs 300 Storm Coins."

"What size bucket?"

“It’s a barrel like this.”

Youlin pointed to a wooden barrel in the corner of the room.

The size of the wooden barrel is about the same as a water barrel on Earth, which is about 20 liters.

Such a small bucket of water requires 300 Storm Coins, which is equivalent to about 300 yuan on Earth. It can be seen that water resources are really scarce here.

Fortunately, this price is nothing to Gao Yaling and is still within her affordability.

"Go buy me 20 buckets, and also a big wooden tub for bathing. The rest is your tip."

Gao Yaling stretched out her hand and took out a Storm Coin worth 1 from her pocket and handed it to Youlin.

"Okay! Ma'am! I'll go buy it now!"

After Youlin received the coins from Gao Yaling, an expression of great surprise appeared on her face.

20 buckets of water only cost about 6000 Storm Coins. A large wooden barrel for bathing is not cheap either, costing about 1000 Storm Coins.

But the 1 Storm Coins that Gao Yaling gave her were definitely enough. After buying things, there would be about 3000 Storm Coins left, which was almost her salary for two months working in the inn!

This was the first time in her life that she had received such a large tip!

Driven by the huge tip, Youlin's work efficiency was maximized.

It took less than an hour to buy water from the market and a bathing tub made of high-quality wood.

She did not buy some low-quality bath tubs in order to save more Storm Coins, which was a conscientious act.

After buying a bath tub, You Lin immediately went to boil water for Gao Yaling.

When night fell, Gao Yaling finally took a comfortable hot bath.

This was her first time taking a bath after arriving on the Planet of the Apes for more than half a year. The feeling of having all her pores open was so refreshing!

  Although the cost of this bath was not small, Gao Yaling felt that it was all worth it!

She soaked for more than three hours, and when her stomach started to growl, Gao Yaling got up and came out.

After taking a bath, she changed into a set of clean and refreshing clothes that Youlin bought for her.

Gao Yaling's image instantly took on a new look, becoming even more beautiful and charming than before.

Even Yulin, a woman, stared with eyes wide open.

"Ms. Gao is so beautiful. I guess there's no one else as beautiful as her in the entire Storm City."
