Song Lei clicked on the red dot and started reading the ssage they had just gotten.

Song Lei and Old Wolf kept reading through the forum rules. There wasn't anything particularly important other than the first few rules. After they browsed through the forum for so more, Song Lei turned off the computer.
"We can deal with that later..." Old Wolf said while crossing arms in front of his chest. "What are you going to do later on?"
Song Lei pondered for a mont. "Why? Is there sothing to be done?" Song Lei asked.
"Well... I'm a bit ashad to say this but I hope that you can continue clearing floors from now on. When Damien is gone, we won't have anyone left other than and you that can clear floors," Old Wolf said. Right from the beginning, he was against Song Lei being punished in such a vile way. Furthermore, with the contributions Song Lei had made to the branch, it sounded really rude to tell him to go on solo expeditions.
"Sure. It's not really a problem for ," Song Lei said. After all, clearing floors were really beneficial to him. And he knew that Old Wolf couldn't go and do it himself. The branch leader needed to be there if anything occurred.
"Thank you Lei..." Old Wolf muttered. He seed to be bothered a lot by the fact that a lot of his branch mbers had died. Even though he got along with only a few of them, he still felt that he was responsible for their lives. The fact that they were dead now felt like he was the one who had let them die.
Not wanting to bother him more, Song Lei left Old Wolf alone and went back to his room. The quake demon was chilling in a corner like always, without a care in the world.
'I wonder when this guy will beco my familiar,' Song Lei thought. He wanted to learn more about his summons, as he was kinda oblivious to a lot of facts. For example, how did his familiar subspace look? Was it comfortable? Would Sugihara feel lonely in there? Hoping that he could get an answer, Song Lei decided to summon Sugihara.
Song Lei raised his hand towards the middle of the room.
"Co."
As soon as he chanted the summoning word, a small blob of light popped out of his hand. The light blob slowly turned into a body of a girl, which was Sugihara.
"That's so la..." She muttered as soon as she appeared. Song Lei raised one of his brows.
"What? What is la?" He asked.
"Shouldn't you have a cooler summoning word? I don't know... Like, 'Arise' or 'Co forth!' For example..." Sugihara said. Song Lei sighed deeply.
"That's too long. The shorter the chant, the faster I can summon you guys in dire situations," he said. Sugihara shrugged at his answer.
"You do you I guess..."
"Anyways, I wanted to ask you so questions. That's why I summoned you."
"Ask ahead then," Sugihara said. Song Lei thought while holding his chin.
"First of all," Song Lei started asking. "What kind of place is my familiar subspace?"
"Hmm…" Sugihara crossed her arms in front of her chest. "It's a bit hard to say actually…"
"What do you an by that?" Song Lei urged her to continue.
"The subspace doesn't actually exist. Or to be precise, It's more like a waiting lounge for us familiars. We lose our consciousness when we enter it," she said. "For example, for , it hasn't even been a second since you last summoned . Our existence is dependent on you. Unless you summon us, we don't exist."
"I see…" Song Lei scratched his head. "Another question, is it possible for my familiars to betray ?" Song Lei asked.
"It's possible but not likely. Your skill sohow affects our minds to make you more likable," Sugihara said while twirling her hair. "Well... for , nothing much has changed. But if you were to sohow make a being that hates you your familiar, it wouldn't be that hostile towards you."
"That's great. And how much do you exactly know about this place?" Song Lei questioned.
"Not more than you," Sugihara said. She then proceeded to tell Song Lei about what she knew about the New World.
Her knowledge about the place was exactly the sa as what Song Lei knew. It seed to be synchronized automatically.
As her summoning ti was about to end, Song Lei asked one last question.
"Do you hate for bringing you to this place?" He asked. There was an anxious expression on his face.
"No. It was my choice after all," Sugihara answered with a wide smile on her face.
"What do you an, your choice?" Song Lei said.
"I know that you wouldn't have chosen a spirit if I didn't urge you to do so."
Seeing that she knew, Song Lei smiled shyly.
"Oh. My ti is up now. See you," Sugihara said. With a flicker, she turned into a small, spiritual ball of light and got sucked into Song Lei's hand.
[Sugihara Tokiyo has been recalled. Cooldown: 23:59:59 1/2]
Song Lei took a deep breath and laid down on his bed. He still had so questions but unfortunately, Sugihara's summoning ti was already up.
He didn't want to waste his remaining summon chance. After all, he might need it when he least expects it.
After he was done, Song Lei decided to head to the 16th floor. Reaching his destination, he checked rooms 1601 and 1602.
'What the...'
Song Lei was dumbfounded by the effectiveness of the bacteria. The abomination residue had already been decomposed and cleaned by them in less than a day.
Seeing that the bacteria had already done their job, Song Lei decided that he had to do his part too. He rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning the room. The place was in a ss because of the monster, however, it still looked like a proper room. Fortunately, the walls hadn't been hard nor the furniture inside the rooms.
After spending another hour, he was able to sowhat make the place look plausible to the eye. Thinking for a second, he went back to the 14th floor.
"I've prepared the place for you to move into," Song Lei said while crossing his arms in front of him. "Let's go."
"Really?" Song Ming said. There was a sour expression on his face. "But I couldn't finish my tea in ti... And I don't want to leave my table."
"Don't worry, I will carry them there for you," Song Lei said. He lifted the table and carried it with one hand. Song Ming nodded and got up from his place. His body was incredibly slim. His height was around 1.70 ters but he looked like he was no more than 40 kilograms.
With Song Ming in tow, Song Lei started walking to the 16th floor. As they entered the hallway of the 16th floor, Song Ming's face brightened a little bit.
"This place is really warm..." He said while rubbing his hands. "I like it."
"I'm happy to hear that," Song Lei said. Since the ti he raised his body stat, his hoostasis had beco much better, allowing his body to deal with the hot better. For Song Ming, the reason why he was so cold was probably related to the fact that he was a ghost.
They entered the room and Song Lei positioned the table right in the middle of the room. Song Ming's gloomy face was replaced with a blank expression. For so reason though, this expression looked more like a smile in Song Lei's eyes.
"I hope you're happy with your new place. If you have any complaints, please leave it as a note stuck to your door, I will check them occasionally," Song Lei said. For so reason, he felt like he could beco a landlord if he tried really hard to.
"Thank you," Song Ming said. He poured himself a cup of tea. He had carried his teapot with him. Song Lei wondered what Song Ming was drinking, as it looked like cold water from outside.
"No problem. See you later," he said. After he was done talking with Song Ming, he left the room.
As soon as he closed the door behind him, he jumped in his place because of a sudden notification.
[Congratulations! You've acquired a new tenant! Rented rooms: 1/2. Your Blood bead inco from this floor is raised.]
[Tenants needed until you reach the first landlord level: 8]
As Song Lei recovered from his shock and read the notifications, a wide smile appeared on his face.
"This is interesting...."
