Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 517: Zhang Le's New Target

The instruments for his White Bone Band.They were, in total: a microphone, a drum set, a guitar, a bass, and a keyboard.

All were made from human bones.

He was preparing to start searching for suitable people, to use their bones to make all sorts of other instruments.

For example, an erhu, a pipa, a cello, a violin.

Since he couldn't form a band, he would just continue his manufacturing journey.

But a problem immediately followed.

He was trapped inside Alice Apartment, without sufficient materials.

He could, of course, use the internet to lure people from outside to his home.

The idea was beautiful.

Reality made it utterly impossible.

The entity behind the apartment only allowed each of them, using this method of luring others to actively come to Alice Apartment, to kill at most one person from the outside per year.

Unless... the other party came to Alice Apartment of their own volition, like Xiao Peng and those classmates who followed the lab rat Xiao Nuo back then.

It was also because of this that his targets for instrument-making could only be the lab rats, or perhaps the other residents.

But the other residents carried too high a risk.

He might end up digging his own grave, so he could only focus his efforts on the lab rats.

However, there were many monks but only a little gruel.

Sometimes, by the time you wanted to make a move, someone else had already beaten you to it.

"Whether you like music or not, you can all become my materials!"

Zhang Le stared longingly at the three lab rats at the first table.

He had already given up on the idea that his white bone instruments absolutely had to correspond to the preferences of music lovers.

He was purely backed into a corner.

This welcome party meal lasted from 7 PM until 8:30 PM.

The residents inside the activity room also began to disperse.

Those from Building No. 1 returned to Building No. 1, those from Building No. 2 returned to Building No. 2.

Liu Xiao, the female university student from a poor family.

Her appetite was relatively small, so she finished eating quite early.

But she didn't leave like the other residents who finished early and departed quickly.

She waited until the very end.

Helping to clear away the dishes and utensils.

Manager Wu Meiling saw this and gave Liu Xiao a thumbs-up, praising her as a sensible, good girl.

Hearing this, Liu Xiao naturally felt a bit shy, lowering her head and continuing to clear the dishes.

And while she was clearing the dishes, Zhang Le, who had never left the activity room, walked over to her side.

"Hello, Liu Xiao, I'm Zhang Le. I wanted to ask you, which university do you attend?"

"Oh, I'm from Nancheng City Vocational and Technical College... why? Is something the matter?"

Liu Xiao looked up at the man questioning her.

Zhang Le said, "Oh, that school. Then do you know if there are many people at your school who like musical instruments? Or things like music clubs. To be honest, I sell musical instruments and want to do some business with you university students."

Zhang Le chuckled, his smile very gentle.

Liu Xiao shook her head in confusion. "I don't know. I'm not familiar with things like music clubs at school..."

When Liu Xiao had free time, she was either on campus or working part-time jobs off-campus. She hadn't joined any clubs or departments.

"Is that so? Could you help me ask around?"

"Here's 200 yuan, consider it your payment."

Zhang Le took out a black wallet from his pocket and pulled out two hundred-yuan bills.

These three new lab rats.

The female university student Liu Xiao.

The manicure shop employee Wang Qi.

And that mature, attractive woman in finance and investment, Wen Huiqiao.

Zhang Le identified Liu Xiao as his primary target.

The reason was simple.

Mainly, he believed that a university student like Liu Xiao, especially one who clearly came from a poor family, would be inexperienced in the ways of the world and easy to fool.

Unlike the other two.

Of course, there was also the fact that Liu Xiao was young, brimming with youthful vitality.

Therefore, her bones must be very fragrant, suitable for making a violin.

Liu Xiao stared at the two red hundred-yuan bills before her, stunned.

Good heavens, she had never imagined that helping to ask about such an insignificant little thing would actually come with a reward?

200 yuan.

To others, it might be nothing.

But to Liu Xiao, it was too tempting.

200 yuan!

That was already several days' worth of her usual part-time wages!

Although the two red bills made Liu Xiao's eyes gleam, and she struggled against the temptation multiple times, she still shook her head. "No, these are all trivial matters. Giving 200 yuan is really too much. I wouldn't feel right taking it."

In the end, her conscience triumphed over greed.

This time, it was Zhang Le's turn to be taken aback.

He had originally wondered if the amount he offered was too little.

After all, for someone with his comfortable financial situation, 200 yuan was barely enough for a decent meal.

He hadn't expected that, for the poor, it was still too much?

"Then, how about 50 for you! That should be fine, right?!"

"After all, you're helping me ask around. I'd feel too guilty taking the information for free. You absolutely must take this money!"

"Then... alright."

Liu Xiao ultimately took the money and accepted the so-called task.

"Mhm, it's settled then. Let's add each other on WeChat."

Zhang Le was overjoyed inside.

He had already planned it out.

Once Liu Xiao finished asking around for him, he would have her come to his home to discuss the matter.

And once she arrived at his home...

Even if you were Sun Wukong, you wouldn't be able to escape the palm of his Buddha's Five Finger Mountain.

Watching Zhang Le's retreating back, Liu Xiao was still quite touched.

Because she still felt that for asking about such a piece of information, even 10 yuan would have felt like too much to her.

Now, she had just earned 50!

How wonderful!

Indeed, good people are rewarded!!!

Just as she was thinking this, tightly clutching the 50-yuan bill in her hand, a woman's voice suddenly sounded by her ear. "What were you two talking about just now?"

"Ah, Sister Meiling, he gave me 50 to ask me to..."

Turning her head in surprise, she saw it was Manager Wu Meiling.

Even though it was only her first day knowing Manager Wu Meiling, Liu Xiao felt they got along quite well.

Therefore, there was nothing to hide about this matter, and she openly explained it.

It showed her trust in Wu Meiling.

Who would have thought that as Wu Meiling listened, her originally smiling expression grew more and more serious.

Then it actually darkened completely.

This frightened Liu Xiao. "Sister Meiling, did I do something wrong?"

Wu Meiling's expression softened slightly, forcing out a faint smile for Liu Xiao.

"No, you didn't. You're earning the reward you deserve."

"However, I must warn you, be careful of that man."

"Zhang Le? He... is there something wrong with him?"

Liu Xiao was very nervous.

Wu Meiling whispered, "That Zhang Le is a pervert. He often deceives naive young girls like you, playing with their emotions and bodies. Using all sorts of reasons and excuses. If I'm not mistaken, he has his eye on you. And this so-called 'asking around' is just a pretense!"

"Ah?! In that case, I'll return the money to him!"

Terrified, Liu Xiao was about to chase after Zhang Le, who had already left the activity room.

So that was why he gave her so much money just for asking about such a thing!
