Chapter 411 Home System
After a while, Lin Chen and his group were walking side by side on a main city street somewhere in the Emerald Paradise.
There were still many players moving busily around the four of them, but unlike just now, no one would come close to them this time. Occasionally someone would look at them, and their gaze would only linger on Elena for a moment, as if the only thing that could surprise them was Elena's stunningly beautiful appearance.
Occasionally someone would come up and talk to Elena, but the distant look on her face would quickly make people leave.
The reason why it was completely different from just now was that when the players looked up at the top of their heads, they saw that the IDs of the four people in the group were all hidden.
Not only Lin Chen, Feng Chen also put on the Shadow Escape Mask. He already had this mask in his backpack, but he felt that there was no need for him to wear it, so he kept it in his backpack gathering dust. If Lin Chen had not suggested that he keep it, Feng Chen would even throw it away to make room for other props.
Elena is wearing a headdress with rabbit ears. The equipment is called [Shadow Rabbit Headband], which she obtained from the Cow Level. The shape looks like a special costume, but its effect is the same as the Shadow Escape Mask.
As for Gardenia, she was wearing a crown of the same style as the one worn by the deputy leader of their guild named "Gucheng", which could also hide attributes.
As a result, the four people's heads were all blurred, which was quite eye-catching.
But at least it is much better than attracting many people to see the national treasure.
"How is it? Do you feel a little uncomfortable wearing these decorations?" Lin Chen looked at the three people around him and suddenly smiled.
As he spoke, Lin Chen reached out and held Elena's small hand very familiarly. To be honest, the female elf had not yet completely gotten used to this sudden change of attitude, but she could not hide. After all, she was the one who sent out the love note, and Lin Chen had already received it, which meant that the two of them officially became "lovers."
Just like in the real world, once two people officially confirm their relationship, holding hands becomes a basic routine.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Elena blushed and shook her head: "It's not that I'm not used to it..."
I don’t know whether she was answering Lin Chen’s question about hiding the ID, or was trying to comfort herself in a disguised way.
Feng Chen and Zhizi beside him also shook their heads. They were increasingly able to understand why Lin Chen insisted on wearing a mask on a daily basis. This thing was really convenient.
"By the way, where are we going now?"
Lin Chen had been leading the way for a while, and they came to a somewhat remote place in the Emerald Paradise. It was surrounded by various buildings, and there were winding streets among the buildings. As they went deeper, the number of players around them also decreased.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll claim the house first, and then I'll take you guys to increase your friendship points."
"house?"
Feng Chen suddenly thought of something, because seven days ago, when he was preparing to enter the ruins, he opened the gift package "System Gift" given by the system administrator. It contained not only the artifact "Soul-stealing Blade", but also many flawless gems, as well as various props and titles.
But there was one thing that he did not quite understand, and that was the [Land Deed].
However, Feng Chen's attention was focused on the upcoming stacking of attack power at that time. He just glanced at the deed suspiciously and put it into his backpack.
But now, hearing the word "house" coming out of Lin Chen's mouth, Feng Chen almost instantly thought of the [land deed].
"Brother, could it be that... we..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Chen stopped.
The four of them came to the door of a building called [Real Estate Exchange and Transaction Office]. Just like the various NPC buildings in the main city of the Land of the Hunting God, this building was just slightly larger, with no other differences.
There are also some differences, perhaps the building has no door, and you can enter directly by climbing the stairs.
Feng Chen and Zhizi looked at each other, then followed Lin Chen and Elena.
The female elf buried her head even lower, causing the rabbit ears on her head to drape forward, making her look extremely cute.
How could she not know what this place was? Although she didn't acquire any property in the first round, she had seen pigs run even though she had never eaten pork. In her previous life, she had accompanied Qiluo to exchange for a property here.
However, after learning that most of the "properties" in the Land of the Hunting God were used for "marriage", Elena directly rejected the house. After all, in the mind of the female elf at that time, it was absolutely impossible for her to marry a human being.
But I didn't expect that this time I would let Lin Chen pull my hand and walk in without any struggle...
"I'm dying, I'm dying..." Elena muttered softly, "What should I do..."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. She hadn't even married Lin Chen yet, but she was already too embarrassed to bear the thought of certain scenes.
But Lin Chen and others did not notice anything wrong with Elena. Lin Chen strode directly to the front of the counter and greeted the NPC behind the counter.
"Hello there!"
The NPC was an old man from the Three-Eyed Tribe. When he saw Lin Chen greet him, the old man immediately bowed to Lin Chen.
"Greetings, great Chosen Ones. I don't recognize you all. Are you here to redeem your property?"
As he spoke, the three eyes on the old man's face curved into crescents at the same time.
Lin Chen didn't waste any words. He took out the title deed from his backpack, placed it on the counter and pushed it over.
"Yes, please explain it to us. This is the first time for us to understand the functions of real estate and the home system."
"Of course!" The old man lifted the deed from the table with both hands and said, "I have received your deed. You will then acquire a property, but you will need to choose the layout of the property yourself. What layout do you plan to choose?"
"What is... the pattern?" Lin Chen and the other three looked at the NPC in confusion.
The NPC smiled and said, "It's a bit troublesome to explain, so I need everyone to listen carefully!"
The NPC then said seriously, "Homes are allocated according to the Five Elements. There are five types of structures: 'Heaven produces water', 'Earth produces fire', 'Heaven produces wood', 'Earth produces metal', and 'Heaven produces earth'. Water structures favor water and avoid earth; fire structures favor fire and avoid water; wood structures favor wood and avoid metal; metal structures favor metal and avoid fire; and finally, earth structures favor earth and avoid wood!"
Having said that, the NPC smiled and looked at Lin Chen and the other three.
Feng Chen and Zhizi were stunned, their faces full of question marks.
However, Lin Chen and Elena, the two second-round players involved in this incident, understood it.
Elena, who had been silent the whole time, raised her head and asked, "I know the theory of the Five Elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint, but...what use does it have when applied to the layout of these properties?"
The NPC replied: "Each pattern has its own purpose. For example, if you choose a property with a fire pattern, then the furniture and ornaments you place in your home should preferably be of a fire pattern."
"Furniture?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
Come to think of it, he really didn't expect that the real estate design in the Land of the Hunting God was so perfect.
"Of course! What's a home without furniture?" the NPC blurted out. "Each piece of furniture has a corresponding elemental attribute, including gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Purchasing furniture with elements that match your property will increase your home's Feng Shui value. The higher the Feng Shui value, the more generous rewards and attribute bonuses you'll receive. However, if the furniture you purchase doesn't match the Five Elements, the Feng Shui value will decrease."
Lin Chen and Elena were silent, but both of them could see a hint of astonishment in each other's eyes.
Wow, the designer called "Creator" has such a bad taste that he even designed such a rich home system.
At this time, Feng Chen suddenly interrupted.
"Um... I understand what you said about higher Feng Shui values giving rewards, but what do you mean by attribute bonuses?"
The three eyes on the NPC's face blinked together: "Once the player unlocks the Feng Shui value, they will gain access to a special gameplay called [Home Blessing]."
Lin Chen and the others remained silent, waiting for what would happen next.
The NPC continued, "When players enter their homes, they can use the special skill [Home Blessing]. As long as the Feng Shui value is high, players can obtain extremely exaggerated additional attribute bonuses through blessing."
"How exaggerated?"
"Let me put it this way. If the home is well-designed and has a high Feng Shui value, a player with only 10,000 attack power can, through prayer, even gain an additional 10,000 attack power within the effective time. That's a 100% bonus."
When these words were spoken, even Lin Chen was stunned.
