Chapter 298: Friends Hiding in the Attic

Sigoff is a city where money is king. Money can break any rules, including the laws of physics.

Wu Chang had never felt the reality of this sentence before. Although there were many similar cases recorded in the files Hou Jingchuan gave him, cold numbers would never be as shocking as seeing it with one's own eyes.

Two days of continuous gun battles caused serious damage to the interior of Bai Lao K’s warehouse at the dock, with bullet holes and bloodstains everywhere.

The most serious damage was to the bare-knuckle match viewing area.

Most of the seats on the second floor were broken, and there was hardly a single intact piece of glass to be found in the VIP viewing room on the third floor.

The KO bare-knuckle boxing match organized by Bai Lao K is the most popular entertainment match in Sigoff City, without a doubt, and it has a huge influence. It is impossible for Wu Chang to give up.

So they took this opportunity to renovate the venue for the KO bare-knuckle match.

Not only do they need to rebuild the venue and spectator seats to optimize the viewing environment, they also plan to formalize the event and start live broadcasts of bare-knuckle matches.

To rebuild the site, Miles approached his junior from the architecture department of the same school, paid him five times the salary, and completed the blueprints in one night.

Miles took the blueprints and invited three construction teams. After paying five times the price of a normal project, the three construction teams worked at full capacity.

From Wu Chang's perspective, the time in the stadium area seemed to be fast-forwarded. Each member of the construction team transformed into the Flash, walking with afterimages, and rebuilding the venue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He observed carefully for a long time but could not figure out why this space could fast forward, as if when money was involved, the rules of the world began to break down.

Compared to Wu Chang's surprise, Miles and other members of Bai Lao K were much calmer.

They calmly pulled up the yellow construction lines and prohibited others from approaching, and it seemed that they were used to it.

Wu Chang had asked Miles about this, but it wasn't like everything could be accelerated as long as money was paid.

To speed up, you must first obtain relevant qualifications, and this can only be applicable to the profession you are engaged in. If Bai Lao K hires someone to repair it himself, even paying him cannot speed it up.

Secondly, acceleration can only be applied to inanimate objects, and cannot speed up the growth of animals or plants, nor can it speed up the speed of movement.

All kinds of sports are not allowed.

This made Wu Chang feel a little disappointed. If it could work on living things and he could speed up their movements by paying money, then this thing would be much more powerful than just numbers.

Although living things cannot accelerate, the natives who are accustomed to the rules of Sigoff City will adapt to accelerate.

For example, once a certain goal is set, everything progresses at an astonishing speed.

According to Miles' intelligence, there are a total of twelve forces involved with Perico and other leaders.

Among them, headed by Perico, there are four internal forces of Bai Lao K, and the remaining eight are external forces, involving the political and business circles of Sigoff City, and they are all very influential local tyrants.

Miles and the negotiation master went to lobby the eight companies. With the influence and negotiation skills of the negotiation master, five companies were willing to establish cooperation with New White Old K in just one day.

The order of negotiation is from strong to weak. The first five powerful parties are willing to establish cooperation, while the other three relatively weak parties are afraid of being kicked out, so they take the initiative to send representatives to contact the negotiation master.

What Miles planned to take three weeks could be accelerated to one day as long as the eight forces showed enough strength.

Compared with Anthem Company and Sigoff City, both are considered to be in a state of passive resistance.

As for the cleaning inside Bai Lao K, it is even easier.

Wu Chang went to Ding Shouzi Square for a walk in the morning. He originally just wanted to pick a few capable players to serve as cattle and horses, but he didn't expect to run into Booker.

Booker pulled Colton and called Veronica to rush over to him together.

Booker said that according to the White Tower's requirements before they came, they could not take the initiative to contact him, but should try to disperse and provide him with intelligence.

Wu Chang asked curiously: "Then why did you take the initiative to come to me?"

Booker rubbed his nose and said, "The noise in the motel was so loud at night that Colton and I couldn't sleep at all."

"Anyway, whether there are three of us or not, it won't have any impact on this instance. We can just let our colleagues do things like tracking the target."

Although the combat power of Booker and his two companions is not top-notch, it is still much better than that of individual players.

The three of them plus Wu Chang were each responsible for one area, and it only took half a day to clean up the four small groups within the organization.

As night fell, Wu Chang stuffed a stack of federal coins into each of their hands. The negotiation master contributed the most and was considered a semi-acquaintance, so Wu Chang stuffed an extra envelope into her hands while no one was paying attention.

This is what he learned when he was Li Zaishe. If the boss wants his subordinates to work hard, he must spend money.

One day, ten thousand federal coins.

Holding the banknotes in his hand, Booker felt a little aggrieved, feeling sorry for the predecessors who had entered the copy before.

Siegf earns money and Siegf spends it, and he wants to take it home. More than 80% of the predecessors who have collected intelligence have less than four-digit savings when they leave the copy, and they can easily earn 10,000 in just one day.

They were treated like slaves and were treated like this, so they couldn't even imagine how much the White K boss Heping was worth.

You know, this is only the third day since the dungeon started.

This guy, is he really having an affair with the game administrator?

While Booker and others were counting the money, Wu Chang had already called Miles to discuss the gang's next move.

He is not satisfied with the influence of just White K. In terms of influence, no matter how much black there is, it is not as eye-catching as a touch of white.

No matter which country, when the gangs become big, they will seek to whitewash themselves.

Including a drug lord who dared to occupy the Supreme Court and had 40,000 private soldiers under his command. After becoming rich, he also wanted to run for president.

Now that Bai Lao K has grown bigger, it is natural for him to move in this direction.

If one wants to whitewash himself, the first step is to demonstrate more social responsibility, turn from gangland to business, and then from business to politics.

It is easy to turn a black business into a business, it just means spending money, at least in the open.

Charity and public welfare are undoubtedly the fastest and easiest way to demonstrate social responsibility, and if done properly, not only will it not cost money, but it can also make a lot of money.

In addition to doing charity, Miles had another piece of advice for Wu Chang: wait.

There is never a shortage of surprises in the city of Siegf. If a natural disaster could occur and White Old K could make great efforts in the disaster, it would be equivalent to ten charity dinners.

Wu Chang was somewhat tempted after hearing this. Natural disasters are good, but where should he start looking for them?

Evening, No. 26 Garden Street.

After a few days of getting to know each other, Wu, Chang and the other two have really become like a family.

After dinner, Irene tutored Amber with her homework, while Wu Chang sat aside reading the newspaper to see what other players had done.

It's nine o'clock in the evening, time for good children to go to bed.

Watching Amber return to the attic and lock the door, Wu Chang's breathing became a little rapid.

Over the mountain!

Tonight his right-hand man must climb the mountain!

This time he learned his lesson and locked the bedroom door. No matter what happened, nothing could stop his actions.

But just as he lay down, a vague gaze shot into the room from the window.

Wu Chang frowned slightly, stood up and closed the curtains.

Lying down, he could feel the gazes through the curtains, continuing to fall on him and Irene.

No matter how unrefined he was, he couldn't possibly interact with Irene under the prying eyes of others, as he didn't have an exhibitionist fetish.

He took a deep breath and sat up again.

Whatever was looking out the window, it was doomed to die tonight.

When he left home with murderous intent, the vague gaze disappeared, but when he returned to the house, the feeling of being pried into his mind reappeared.

The prying eyes seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him, or playing "statue".

Wu Changhong is warm.

He had never hated the suppression of his inspiration and intuition by bad luck as much as he did now.

You who are hiding in the dark and peeping, don't let me catch you, or I will let you know what the dark hand is.

He simply didn't go back into the house. Instead, he sat on the rocking chair at the door and stared outside.

With him around, their vision in the darkness was restrained and they didn't continue to look into the house. Well, at least Erin and Amber could get a good night's sleep.

Tonight is Christmas Eve again, except for Wu Chang.

The next day, the family of three went to school together.

Today is Friday. After today is over, it means that after school, students will have a weekend without having to get up early. It also means that there will be short in-class quizzes in various subjects this morning.

Although Knox Elementary School is a public school, most of the students come from middle-class and social elite families. If you want to find a happy education, just turn left and walk two kilometers out of the door, you will find a school in a slum neighborhood full of happiness.

No matter which country you are in, as long as you don't have a family business to inherit and don't want to become a low-level slave, you need to roll.

The Federation is no exception.

Today's campus life was exceptionally peaceful, with no harassment from strange monsters, and Wu Chang was not marked with bad luck.

After the quiz, Amber attended class calmly in the classroom, and after class she wandered around the campus with Grace.

Everything is getting better and better, as if the name of this copy is not "Misfortune" but "Federal Middle-Class Family Simulator".

If nothing else, there will be an accident.

After returning home from school, Wu Chang prepared dinner and went to the attic to call Amber to eat. However, Amber did not come down after a while, but immediately called Wu Chang's name and then walked out of the attic.

"Sean."

Wu Chang stopped and looked at Amber, who was a little embarrassed.

"what happened?"

Amber pulled her report card out from behind her back and whispered, "The test results are in."

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment, wiped the water off his hands on his pink apron, and took the report card.

The grades for all subjects are all B, which means good. Although there are no A's, it is a great improvement compared to the previous D's and F's.

Wu Chang rubbed Amber's head and said, "You are working hard. I will get the report card for Irene to see. She will definitely be happy for you when she sees it."

Amber blushed slightly and lowered her head. She enjoyed Wu Chang's recognition, but she was trying to restrain herself.

"And one more thing……"

Wu Chang stopped again, waiting for what Amber would say next.

Amber twisted her fingers nervously and said, "Sean, you can see something different, something only I can see, right?"

Wu Chang nodded and said, "Even if I can't see it, I will try my best to see it."

Amber said: "I have always felt that I am abnormal. I can't distinguish between reality and illusion, and I always mess up everything."

"It's not that I don't want you and Irene to come in. I'm just afraid that you will think I'm a monster."

Wu Chang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I never think anyone is a monster."

This is not limited to Doom. Everyone says that the Abyss game is dangerous and the dungeons are full of monsters, but he has entered so many dungeons that are on the verge of getting out of control, how come he has never seen a monster?

Amber covered her chest with her hands, as if she was making a difficult decision. Wu Chang stood there waiting quietly.

When Amber had regained control of her emotions, she slightly opened the attic door behind her and said:
"Sean, would you like to come in and take a look?"

A smile appeared on Wu Chang's face. After waiting for a long time, he was finally going to get Amber's approval again.

"Of course I do."

He followed Amber into the attic, and the scene in the attic was not quite what he had imagined.

Before coming in, he had anticipated the scene in the attic.

Director Susan's disgusted attitude in the orphanage made him think that Amber's experience would cause her to suffer some cold violence.

For example, a cold and damp living environment, a dark room, and messy clutter.

He also thought that Amber had a cruel side, and the attic might be filled with dismembered animal specimens, mutilated human limbs, or even some evil sacrificial rituals.

But in fact, Amber's room is tidy and warm, and everything is arranged in order.

Everyday necessities are new, and many of the furniture are custom-made for the loft in just the right sizes.

If one is a little more careless, the final effect of the furniture will not be so beautiful. It can be seen that the previous adoptive families have invested a lot of thought in Amber.

At first glance, there was nothing shameful in the room. The only thing that caught Wu Chang's attention was a small patch of colorful fluorescent bacteria growing in the corner of the house.

At first glance, they look like spread out mold spots, but upon closer inspection, each mold spot has its own unique shape. Some look like spread out flowers, some look like magnified snowflakes, and there are many regular round spots like water droplets.

The lighting in the attic was dim, making the fungi in the corners look particularly dazzling, with a weird and eerie beauty.

Amber noticed Wu Chang's gaze, and she whispered, "Can you see them?"

Wu Chang looked puzzled. "They?"

He noticed that Amber used they, not them.

Amber nodded slightly, "They are my friends, but only I can see them."

As Amber said the word "friend", the fungus in the corner changed. They began to multiply rapidly and intertwined with each other to form a thick fungal carpet.

The colorful fluorescent fungal carpet spread out in all directions, covering the entire attic in the blink of an eye.

The dense hyphae entwine with each other and grow into strange and slender mushrooms. They sway from side to side like folded umbrellas, making a rustling sound like a ballad.

Amber showed an unguarded smile on her face and said to Wu Chang: "Sean, they are greeting us."

Amber followed the rhythm of the mushrooms and hummed softly. As she hummed, the mushroom caps opened, revealing the human face hidden beneath the caps.

Then they pulled out their roots and turned into two human legs. Within a few breaths, the mushrooms growing in the fungal mats turned into children with mushroom caps on their heads.

They revolved around Amber, singing and dancing in the bright and colorful fungal carpet, as if they were in a fairy tale.

Wu Chang rubbed his eyes. Could it be that the Jianshouqing had become a spirit? He didn't even need to eat it. Just by looking at it, little people would jump out in front of him.

Amber was surrounded by the little mushroom people, her face was filled with excitement and joy, but her eyes were empty and confused.

Although Wu Chang had never seen anyone poisoned by eating mushrooms, when he saw Amber's condition, he knew that if someone fell into hallucinations after eating mushrooms, this would probably be the situation right now.

The situation in front of him was very strange, and he shouted: "Amber! Wake up!"

Amber was very close to him, but she didn't hear his shout at all. She had a silly smile on her face and murmured:

"Sean, did you see that?"

Wu Chang frowned, took out the loud horn, and walked towards Amber.

Sensing Wu Chang's actions, the little mushroom people stopped spinning, the cute expressions on their faces disappeared, revealing ferocious faces full of resentment.

With that expression, he could be cast in The Grudge and directly play Kayoke's son.

Now Amber is confused and has completely stopped pretending, right?

Wu Chang snorted disdainfully and shouted at the little mushroom people:
"You bold monsters! I can tell at a glance that you are not human!"

The little mushrooms all looked at Wu Chang and said in a cold voice:
"Don't bother us."

"Amber has us."

"You are redundant."

"Get lost."

The little mushroom people merged with each other and turned into a huge, wriggling fungus. As the true form of the little mushroom people was revealed, clusters of light red resentment appeared on their bodies.

"Go to hell! Go to hell!"

As they roared, Wu Chang's body became heavy and thick black mist emerged around him. The fluorescent bacteria could actually find the mark of doom.

And this time the mark of doom is stronger than the previous ones.

The big one is coming!
