Chapter 12, I’m very smart!
"Hehe, I can't believe it! Your apartment is quite to my taste. Very nice, very nice."

Phoenix looked around the structure of the first floor of the house and praised it out loud.

"Oh, and there's a huge sofa, it looks so comfortable."

After saying that, Phoenix threw herself onto the sofa and curled up her petite body on it.

"Meow! It's so comfortable! So soft and so comfortable!"

"I've decided! I'll designate this sofa as the great cat lady's hidden palace, for everyone to worship and rest."

Droste pulled the cat girl Phoenix's luggage in from the door, wiped a few drops of sweat from his forehead, and looked up at the weather outside.

In the evening, the sky is like a carefully rendered canvas, soft and gorgeous.

The sun was lazily sinking towards the horizon, dyeing the originally blue sky with a blend of golden and lavender colors, as if it was a warm watercolor painted by nature.

The orange-red afterglow flows in the clouds, reflecting clouds of various shapes and rich layers. They are either piled up like mountains or floating like ribbons, performing a silent and magnificent dusk symphony under the sky.

"I didn't expect today to be over so soon." Droste recalled today's day with some emotion in his heart.

"Hey, Simpson, bring in the Great Cat God's attendant's luggage. Are you going to do something indecent with my stockings?"

"Come on, forget it. Also, my name is not Demon, my name is Simpson Droste Primo. From now on, you can call me the owner of Droste. Do you hear me?"

Droste pushed the luggage in with some disdain. This strange-shaped suitcase was not very heavy to push.

Is it really all stockings? Fishnet stockings? Suspenders? Black, white, red? Flesh-colored?
Droste glanced at the cat girl Phoenix lying on the sofa. Her long legs were exposed from the edge of her black windbreaker. She was slender and had fair skin.

Droste estimated that Phoenix was about 1.65 meters tall, but her legs were a full 90 centimeters long!
The pair of long, slender and white legs are particularly eye-catching, like two finely polished ivory pillars, extending gracefully from the waist curve, and the smooth lines contain the perfect combination of strength and flexibility.

There is also a thin black leg ring on the thigh, which adds more layers to the fair skin.

Droste: Mijia! Great!
The calf muscles are firm yet feminine, and the skin is as delicate, white, smooth and flawless as mutton-fat jade.

Unlike the fleshy thighs of most plump ladies, her legs are more light and graceful, without a trace of fat.

Okay, I’m a leg control freak and I’m going to reveal my identity.

Droste rubbed his ears, trying to distract himself.

"Hmph, Demon Droste, take me to choose a room quickly. I have to go to school the day after tomorrow."

"School? The day after tomorrow? Then come up with me."

Droste was carrying the suitcase, and Phoenix jumped up from the sofa, following behind Droste with a light and nimble body.

The two of them stepped on the carpet and looked up at the five rooms in front of them.

"You want to rent a room, right? If you don't rent a shop, then the price shouldn't be too expensive for you."

Droste pointed to the five rooms in front of him.

"From left to right, they are 201 to 205. 205 is the one closest to the stairs, right in front of us."

Taking two steps forward, Droste pointed to 203 and 204.

"203 is where I live, and 204 is where the elf lady lives. Which one do you want to choose?"

"Before he left, Lord Cat God told me to choose the most powerful number. I chose 201!"

Droste glanced at the room at the edge. It was close to the street and had good lighting. There were flower beds all along the green street, but it was a bit noisy.

"That? Okay."

Drost pulled his suitcase and walked to 201 with Fedrost.

"Go ahead, I'll tell you about the rent now."

Drost pretended to think, but actually opened the transparent system panel in his mind.

"Owner of Room 201: Kirazelea Phoenix Becky"

"Status: Excited" "Intelligence: 5 (A silly little cat girl, but with some sharp intuition)

Physical strength: 5 (Cats are naturally light because they don’t exercise often.)
Endurance: 3 (endurance is very poor, but cats are cute enough!)
Charm: 9 (Very cute catgirl Phoenix is ​​also...*)"

"Monthly rent required: 500 gold coins (unpaid)"

"Monthly output of gold coins: 2500 gold coins (not yet received)"

"Tenant Affiliation: 5"

"500 gold coins? It seems a bit cheap, but compared to my wife's 1000 gold coins, it's about the same."

"But what is this degree of belonging?"

Droste held his chin with his hand, but carefully clicked on the description of the degree of belonging in his mind.

“Tenant belonging: Provide adequate assistance to tenants within your capabilities. Or improve the goodwill associated with tenants.

Establishing a stable and good relationship with excellent store owners and excellent tenants can enhance the mutual belonging of both parties.

Belonging, as the name suggests, is the feeling of being recognized, accepted, and getting along harmoniously with other tenants, and having a sense of security and stability. "

Taking the preferences of each tenant as his own responsibility is what Drost, as a perfect landlord, should do.

ps: Improve the degree of belonging = increase rental income = provide more points.

Good! It's all money! At first I was still saying that 500 gold coins were not enough to pay the tuition, but now it's all money!
Droste was still thinking when suddenly a burst of joyful shouts interrupted his wandering thoughts.

"Ahh! So soft and comfortable!"

Droste looked up, only to find that Phoenix had thrown herself onto the big bed in the room and began jumping up and down uncontrollably.

"Ding! Affiliation +5! When the affiliation reaches 30, 100000 gold coins and 1000 points will be provided."

Listening to the pleasant electronic sound prompt that suddenly came from his mind, a few black lines were left on Droste's forehead.

Wow, just because the bed is big enough, warm enough, and comfortable enough, does it increase the sense of belonging?

What a stupid cat lady!

But, give me more, that’s 100000 gold coins!
There are still 1000 points left!

It is my duty to capture the little cat girl.

Phoenix, who was jumping on the bed, seemed to have sensed Droste's ill intentions and stood on the bed with her hands on her hips.

He shouted at Droste: "Evil Droste, are you trying to do something bad to me again? Tell me the rent quickly, and I will give you the rent money now."

Hmm? Droste suddenly thought of the rental judgment. Although the cat girl's IQ was only five, she had some sharp intuition.

So sharp.

Drost nodded and said, "The rent is 500 a month. Give me the money and I'll go downstairs to get you the rental contract."

"So cheap? The great Cat God once told me that the normal rent is around 1000, or even higher than that. You, the evil demon, are really coveting the heroic figure of a beautiful girl like me."

"It's only 500. It's such a big bed. Just decide whether you want to live in it or not."

"Stop, stop, stop! Damn evil demon, you think you can control me, right?"

The girl on the bed put her hands on her hips, chin up, and spoke in a firm tone.

"I'm very smart, I'm not stupid."
