American Comics: From Map Editor to Immortal Gods

"It's alright. Judging from your condition... you shouldn't acknowledge Lily as your friend anymore. I'll just be your friend from now on."

"If you have any problems, you can come to me for help."

Luo Lin waved his hand and said casually.

"friend..."

Maria murmured to herself, a slight smile unconsciously curving her lips. She asked, a mixture of anticipation and hesitation, "Is it possible? I mean, can a terrible girl like me become your...friend?"

"Of course, don't underestimate yourself, you are excellent!"

Rowling smiled at her. "From now on, you're my friend!"

Maria stared at him blankly for a long while before nodding. "Okay, from today onwards, you'll be my best friend!"

[The abnormal object Maria has been entered, and 500 anomaly points have been obtained.]

[Map editor upgraded to version V1.5, enabling special effects and enemy/ally identification features; current outlier count: 0/600.]

Chapter 5: Treating him as a friend means you're willing to have his child?

Luo Lin was slightly taken aback. So entering an abnormal object meant gaining the other party's genuine approval?

If this applies to friends, what about enemies?

We can't possibly turn hostility into friendship and become good friends with our enemies, can we?

Rather than becoming friends, Rowling preferred to ensure the other person never suffered.

Rowling looked at Madison in the driver's seat. "Madison, what about you? Am I your best friend?"

Madison rolled her eyes. "Of course, if you're not my best friend, who is? I'm not going to drive for some other stinky guy."

[The anomaly object Madison Montgomery has been entered, with 500 anomaly points obtained. Current anomaly count: 500/600.]

comfortable!

Luo Lin was quite satisfied, and wondered if he could record the same thing if he forced the enemy to say such things.

Luo Lin looked at the new features added in the minor version upgrade.

"Special effects function? Able to change skill effects at will? What's the use of this thing?"

"Wait, it seems...it actually works!"

Rolin imagined himself unleashing a fiery storm, but the enemy mistook it for smoke obstructing their vision. Instead, the soft "water" incinerated the enemy and the earth...

Change the water-based skill effects to fire, the raging lightning to invisible wind, and the deadly Death Finger effect to holy light...

Are you surprised or not?

In short, the special effects function is an alternative form of illusion magic, but it is superior to illusion magic.

No one can see the flaw with the naked eye; it's just that the external appearance of the skill has been changed, but its core remains the same, nothing more.

"Activate friend-or-foe identification function!"

Luo Lin activated the new function, and green dots, yellow dots, white dots, and red dots appeared on the 3D stereoscopic view in his brain.

The white dot is Rowling himself.

There are only two green dots: Maria and Madison.

The most numerous are yellow dots; all the people passing by are yellow dots, representing neutrality.

The only few red dots...

Rowling scanned the direction of the red dot and saw three people dressed as homeless people looking at him with evil eyes.

Luo Lin glanced at it and then ignored it.

Homelessness is a unique product of this country, which is not surprising.

"So the red dot represents a unit that is hostile to me?"

"Are the green dots teammates who can be absolutely trusted, or even teammates who are recognized and registered by the cheat system?"

Luo Lin had a plan in mind.

This feature is quite good, which means that within the 3D view range, it is easy to distinguish between friend and foe, and Mom no longer has to worry about me being ambushed, betrayed, or attacked.

I can tell at a glance whether someone is loyal or treacherous!

A brief silence fell over the car.

Not long after,

We've arrived at Maria's house.

It is a villa with a small garden, and it looks extremely luxurious.

Madison was surprised; judging from Maria's behavior, she didn't seem like a rich second-generation from a well-off family at all.

Municipal public high schools aren't elite private schools; how could rich people endure such hardship?

Bullying? Do you really think Franklin was just a figure of speech?

Maria seemed to notice Madison's confused look, and with an embarrassed expression, she lowered her head and opened the car door softly.

"Thank you for taking me home. See you next week."

Maria mustered her courage and looked at Rowling, speaking in as calm a tone as possible, but Rowling could hear the tremor in her voice, clearly indicating that Maria was not at peace.

Rowling raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Maria, would you be interested in joining us for a holiday at Crystal Lake tomorrow morning? It's my birthday today."

"Huh? Sorry, I didn't know."

Upon hearing this, Maria immediately panicked.

The thought of not having prepared a gift for her best friend's birthday made her feel guilty.

Maria wanted to agree, but when she thought of her strict father and her mother, who loved her but was more obedient to her father, she had no strength or courage to nod.

"Yes, I'm sorry, maybe tomorrow..."

Luo Lin shook his phone and said kindly, "It's okay. If you change your mind, you can contact me by phone."

"Well then... goodbye!"

Rowling got into the car, and Madison slowly started moving.

Maria watched the car drive away, feeling even more frustrated.

She desperately wanted to agree immediately, but... she lacked the courage to challenge her father.

Mary Linen went home and, ignoring her mother's calls, locked herself in the bathroom.

Maria's vision blurred for a moment as she looked at the full-length mirror next to the dressing table.

Another dark personality appeared in the mirror, with the same appearance but a darker and more cheerful color—Alan!

Alan curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "Congratulations, Maria, you've made a real friend. He's handsome and strong, isn't he?"

Maria blushed slightly as she recalled the strong body she felt when she bumped into Rolin.

Alan wasn't jealous. Instead, she continued, "You like him, and I like him too. I think... we can try to take things a step further."

Maria instinctively retorted, "No, no, we're friends! He only sees me as a friend!"

Alan said in a seductive tone, "It's okay. He treats you as a friend. You can have his child and use the child to maintain our friendship."

Maria was stunned. "You can do that?"

Then she shook her head, "You can't do that, he has a girlfriend, Madison is great..."

“Look at me, Maria.”

Maria subconsciously looked into her reflection in the mirror; those alluring eyes were exactly as she had imagined.

I see myself in the mirror, so confident, so outstanding...

"Maria, me in the mirror..."

"Look closely at this beautiful girl, like the most perfect work of art sculpted by the Creator. How beautiful she is, how... irresistible!"

"Rolin said that your name is beautiful and you are excellent, so hold your head high, be confident, and don't let him down!"

"Remember this: you are excellent too!"

"and..."

Alan's words stirred Maria's desire. "And what?"

Alan chuckled wickedly, “He is so strong, as hard as steel, that Madison cannot possess him alone.”

"Imagine her being tortured like a doll."

"You, their only friend..."

"At this crucial moment, how can we not step forward to help our friend Madison and satisfy another friend?"

"We're all friends, no need to be so polite. If you're good, I'm good, and so is he."

“Is… is that so?”

Maria thought it made a lot of sense at first.

It's truly good when everyone is doing well, isn't it?

If Madison really can't make it, as a friend, I can actually help out a little.

At least... at least you could help push it, right?

Chapter 6 Magical Debut, Madison's Shock

The picture shows Mikaela.

On the other side of the car,

Madison sneezed loudly. "Damn it, who's talking about me behind my back? Could it be that bitch I just punched?"

With no outsiders present, Madison immediately revealed his true colors.

Of course, she would only act like this in front of Rowling.

Madison casually made a comment, glanced at the rearview mirror, and subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.

“Dear Lin, you weren’t like this before.”

"This is the first time I've ever realized you possess such immense power!"

Even through the rearview mirror, Luo Lin could feel the other person's blatant gaze roaming over him, as if trying to penetrate his thin coat and explore what lay beneath.

"You're overthinking it. I've always been like this; it's just that you were more concerned about other things about me before."

"If it were you today, I would be even crazier."

Rowling knew what women wanted to hear.

Madison was indeed satisfied after hearing this, but he said, "Sigh, we can't be so violent. Even if something like this happens, I can handle it myself."

She's always the one bullying others; who would dare to cause her trouble?

Rowling was smiling and about to say something when he suddenly frowned and asked abruptly, "Madison, have you... offended anyone recently?"

"Huh? No?"

Rowling's words puzzled Madison.

"Let me think, yesterday I beat up two thugs, the day before yesterday I cursed three keyboard warriors, and the day before that I spent the whole day arguing with two haters. Before that... nothing major happened."

"is it?"

Luo Lin looked at the dozen or so red dots that appeared in the stereoscopic view, forming a circle.

Zooming in on the red dot, you can see a man in black looking in the direction the two are.

Without a doubt, these people came for him! No, they came for Madison!

"parking!"

"Rolin gave the instructions."

Although Madison didn't understand why, he obediently stopped beside her.

"This is my home, we're not at your place yet."

Madison deliberately rented a house near Rowling, less than a ten-minute walk away, and the two often went to and from school together.
