"Click..."
In a quiet basement, about ten kilometers away from the highway, a slight mechanical sound suddenly echoed.
Chen Yang drew an arrow from the alloy box on his back, placed it on the composite bow in his hand, and squinted his eyes to aim at the distant wall.
"This improvement is really good. With this orientation, drawing arrows is much more convenient."
Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction and took off the alloy box from his back.
This so-called alloy box, strictly speaking, is actually a rectangular prism, not fully sealed, but with a perforated layer on all four sides, allowing one to see the sharp arrows inside at a glance.
Compared to traditional quivers, this device can categorize ordinary and special arrows, and when in use, the internal precise mechanism automatically moves the next arrow to its original position.
The composite bow, designed for high lethality, high speed, and ultra-long range, can penetrate a person's head at a hundred meters even with ordinary arrows, let alone the special arrows with explosive charges.
Such a powerful weapon should be strictly prohibited from production in all countries!
Speaking of which, in the game "Crysis 3," the protagonist can use a super composite bow that automatically folds, with an extremely powerful effect. In Chen Yang's view, just from the appearance, the composite bow in his hand is no less impressive than the Hunter Composite Bow in the game, but the folding and non-integrated function is slightly inferior.
After all, reality is not a game. In a game, one only needs to consider the appearance to design it, but in reality, one must consider material strength and various other difficulties.
However, the ultimate goal of a weapon is practicality. In terms of power, this composite bow is slightly superior to the one in the game. Of course, the drawback is obvious: only Chen Yang can pull this composite bow.
"This composite bow needs a name."
The right hand, which was silent, couldn't bother with such trivial matters. Chen Yang sat down and enthusiastically started naming the composite bow.
"Given the power of this bow, which ordinary people can't use, let's call it 'Tyrant.'"
After naming the composite bow, Chen Yang looked at the electromagnetic sniper rifle and said, "For the sniper rifle, let's use the name 'Hunter.'"
Chen Yang felt a bit smug, deeply proud of his literary skills.
He thought that while he might not be able to look down on all the heroes in the world, he could certainly look down on China's 1.2 billion people, right?
One must have strong confidence!
At this moment, Chen Yang exuded unparalleled confidence!
However, his confidence was interrupted by the ring of his phone after just two seconds.
"Mr. Chen? This is Xiao Rui. I told you yesterday that my colleague wants to see the house..."
"Alright, I know. Where are you now?"
Chen Yang cut her off.
"We are on the second floor. Mr. Chen, where are you? I knocked on your door, but no one answered."
"Um, I'll be back right away."
Chen Yang casually changed the topic, put down the "Tyrant," and walked out of the basement toward the second floor.
It was a good thing that someone wanted to rent the house, even though Chen Yang didn't care much about the money. The game "Endless Stars" had seen increasing recharge amounts over the past few days, with over 35,000 players and a total recharge amount of over 120,000 yuan.
This kind of quick and easy money-making method is no wonder the right hand doesn't care about money. Perhaps to it, human currency is something that can be easily obtained at any time.
As he walked up to the second floor, Xiao Rui's face came into Chen Yang's view. This woman, hearing that Chen Yang was about to return, had opened the door and was waiting. Seeing Chen Yang come up, she smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you came really quickly."
Chen Yang just nodded, "Have you told your colleague about the rent?"
"Yes, I have. She has no problem with it."
The two entered Xiao Rui's room, where a woman in a white business suit was looking around. Hearing someone enter, she turned around.
This turn surprised Chen Yang a bit. Xiao Rui was already a pretty woman, but this woman in the business suit was even more attractive.
Where do so many beautiful women come from?
Chen Yang found it amusing. Being a landlord was really a good job; with this new tenant, there were now four beautiful women in the building. The probability of such a thing happening was very low. Even though there are many beautiful women in modern times, they aren't as common as dirt.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Yang, and this is my colleague, Xie Qiuyu."
Xiao Rui introduced them to each other.
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
The woman in the business suit, Xie Qiuyu, greeted him with a cold expression and a chilly tone.
"Hello."
Chen Yang didn't waste words, directly taking out a prepared contract and saying, "Miss Xie, if you are satisfied with the house, you can look at the contract. If there are no issues, we can sign it now."
Xie Qiuyu took the contract, perhaps having already heard a detailed explanation from Xiao Rui, and after a quick glance, signed her name.
Chen Yang liked people who were well-prepared and decisive. He took the rent from Xie Qi and asked, "When do you plan to move in, Miss Xie?"
"Next Monday."
Xie Qiuyu glanced at her watch, "Xiao Rui, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"No need, it's just a small favor. There's no need for you to treat me."
Xie Qiuyu was her senior at the company, so Xiao Rui quickly declined.
"Actually, I should be the one to treat you. Xie Sister has helped me a lot at the company these days."
Xiao Rui not only knew how to speak but also how to act. When someone invited her to dinner, she turned it around and wanted to treat them.
"Since that's the case, let's do it another day. I have some things to do. See you at the company tomorrow."
Xie Qiuyu's expression remained calm, and her tone was always measured.
"Let me see you out..."
Chen Yang followed the two down the stairs. Just as he was about to open the door, Xiao Rui, who had seen them off, called out, "Mr. Chen."
"Is there something else?"
Xiao Rui had been in a good mood these past few days and even playfully winked, "Can't I call you if there's nothing?"
"Of course not, if there's nothing!"
Chen Yang replied with a serious expression, immediately making Xiao Rui's face stiffen.
But his serious expression only lasted for two seconds, like melting snow, and a smile appeared on his face, "But I still congratulate you on finding a new job."
"You scared me, Mr. Chen."
Xiao Rui patted her "impressive" chest, "I thought you were angry."
"How could I be angry? After all, you are a beautiful woman. If it were a man, I wouldn't have this much patience."
Xiao Rui's face stiffened again. She had never heard anyone speak so directly and bluntly before. She thought Chen Yang was joking, but his expression was so serious that it didn't seem like a joke.
"Mr. Chen is joking... I found a good job this time. To celebrate, I want to treat you to dinner. Do you have time, Mr. Chen?"
Xiao Rui changed the topic and invited Chen Yang.
"Treat me to dinner? No, let me treat you."
What a joke! If you treat me to dinner, you'll be left with no salary for half a month!
Who dares to treat him to dinner without great determination and resolve?
"But how can I let Mr. Chen treat me..."
"It's settled. It's almost dinner time. Let's go."
Chen Yang didn't allow Xiao Rui to refuse and walked out the door first.
Xiao Rui couldn't help but laugh bitterly and hurriedly followed. She didn't know why, but she felt like she was being led by the nose by Chen Yang.
She vaguely felt something strange, as if this landlord, Chen Yang, was gradually becoming a bit odd. Whether it was his tone or his expression, there was something mysterious about him.
Xiao Rui shook her head, thinking she was overthinking it.
