Chapter 537 Perseverance
Chapter 537 Perseverance
It's Monday again, and the sun is shining brightly outside.
Today is a good day for working people to go to work; it's time for the oxen and horses to clock in.
Ambi guided the girls through their work at Umbrella Corporation, and they quickly progressed to their internship period after training. However, they were still unfamiliar with the tasks and needed guidance.
Nicole hunched over her desk, writing furiously, sheets of draft paper filled with plans falling one by one.
Billy maintains his dual revolvers; although he has three suits of armor, dual pistols remain a part of his romance.
Su Chen lay on the sofa watching a mindless soap opera, with Baal beside him, and the cat in his arms chewing on the dried fish from another world with relish.
Watching mind-bending, entertaining dramas while petting the cat's ears and tail is truly a wonderful thing.
Although the plot is melodramatic, watching it as a bit of fun offers a different experience.
Just when everything seemed harmonious, Nicole exploded.
"I've made up my mind. I'll get back up no matter where I fall!"
Nicole tossed aside her draft; she had finished her calculations and was full of confidence: "I want to dedicate myself to the real estate industry, stand at the forefront of the times, and become a trendsetter who stirs up the winds and clouds!"
“The space within the safe zone is limited, and it will inevitably expand outward as the population grows. Before others realize this problem, I can acquire land outside the safe zone at a low price.”
"This deal is a sure thing!"
Many of the houses she had previously invested in were now worthless.
However, failure is the mother of success, and she saw new business opportunities amidst the losses!
The safe zone currently covers about 90% of New Ellido and can certainly accommodate all its citizens. However, the disappearance of the Void threat and the rise in citizen happiness will bring a surge in births, and the safe zone will not be able to hold so many people.
Houses will inevitably continue to expand outwards, and the closer to the edge of the safe zone, the more valuable the area will be.
She's really going to make a fortune this time!
As the chairman's wife, who acts as his protector, she already has no shortage of money.
What she needs to do now is prove her strong business acumen!
"Crack, click, click."
The cat continued munching on its dried fish, pretending nothing had happened.
Nicole's inspiration—she'd seen it many times before.
So many times, but not once did I make money.
"Wow!"
Billy paused his pistol maintenance and exclaimed, "Nicole, what you said this time actually makes sense!"
He had previously thought that Nicole's proposals were somewhat unreliable.
But this time, he couldn't find anything wrong at all.
Could it be that Nicole has finally figured it out?
"asshole!"
Nicole punched Billy on the head and said viciously, "My methods before made sense, I just had bad luck!"
"oh oh……"
Billy covered his head and behaved himself.
Although his strength continued to improve as he fused with the armor, it was still a bit slower than Nicole's improvement.
When Nicole used to hit him, he barely felt anything; he was just pretending to be in pain.
Right now, I feel a deep, piercing pain; it's terrifying.
"Well."
Su Chen shifted his attention from the mindless soap opera and looked at Nicole, saying, "Your idea makes some sense, but it might be too late. Those guys at TOPS probably already planned this out."
This isn't some profound theory; anyone with a discerning eye can see it immediately.
Although he didn't care about TOPS's operations, he knew from a moment's thought that it couldn't all be idiots.
Nicole has started several businesses, but none of them have succeeded. He's really heartbroken about it. Is this a case of cutting his losses early?
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Nicole let out a wise laugh, put on a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses, and looked like Conan: "I'm laughing at your lack of intelligence, Su Chen. Do you think I didn't think of this?"
"How much more can they get with their reinvestment? There will always be land they can't acquire, and that's where my big ambitions begin!"
“They took land ten kilometers outside the safe zone, so I went and took land twenty kilometers, thirty kilometers. I believe in the development of New Elidu, and going all in is a wise move!”
The world outside is so big, there will always be places that TOPS can't reach.
Although it's somewhat risky, fortune favors the bold.
"..."
Billy's little hand trembled; here it came, that familiar feeling.
I didn't think anything was wrong at first, but now I do.
Selling flowers on Valentine's Day is fine, but selling chrysanthemums cheaply is not acceptable; he now has that familiar feeling.
"666, whatever makes you happy."
Su Chen didn't try to persuade him further and turned back to watch the show.
How could they say he's dim-witted? He's clearly incredibly intelligent.
Without even considering how much New Ellie can expand outwards.
Even if no defenses are needed within the safe zone, with the strength of New Elidu, they could at most create half the area of New Elidu outside. The void outside has not been driven away, which is a problem they cannot solve at present.
The land with expansion potential is quite limited; even the TOPS, municipalities, defense forces, air defense departments, and security bureaus themselves don't have enough to go around.
Nicole wants to get in, but she'll probably have to buy everything she can find. She'll lose a ton of money!
Once Nicole recovers her losses, he absolutely won't give her any more startup funds unless she's flattered and appeased.
"Hmph, I'm the boss!"
Nicole, brimming with confidence, waved and said, "Billy, Cat, let's go! Let's make big money together!"
Su Chen waved his hand magnanimously, "Go ahead and give Nicole some advice so she can lose less money."
Want his kitten?
That won't do; watching dramas and petting cats are both essential.
The Straw Hat Boy is itching to get moving today.
"Meow?"
The cat blinked again, and it sounded rather sarcastic.
"Ugh! How dare they look down on my business acumen!" Nicole scratched her head and said fiercely to Su Chen, "I can still make a lot of money without the cat's help! Billy, Barr, let's go!"
"Hmph, let's see how you do."
Su Chen shrugged, not believing it at all: "But it's okay if you don't earn that little bit. I'll give you some pocket money when you get back. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"
He can make money, and he can play with Nicole in the future, becoming her submissive.
"..."
Nicole sensed the disdain, her face darkening, and led Billy and Barr out of the Rabbit House.
When she returns, all the traitors will kneel down.
Then, the haters will speak!
"That was easy, Nicole."
Looking at the closed door, Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head: "How can we make money like this?"
With just a little effort, he kept the cat, ensuring that he could pet it while watching his show.
This Nicole is so lame; she can't keep her composure at all.
But he also had to admire Nicole's spirit of fighting on despite repeated defeats.
"Su Chen, the fish is all gone~"
The cat rubbed against Su Chen's chest again, its big eyes sparkling: "Give me one more, give me one more, meow~"
How she longed to help Nicole, to restore the once-powerful Nicole boss who had fallen into the hands of treacherous officials.
But the otherworldly dried fish is so delicious, I can't stop eating it.
Next time, next time she will definitely stand firmly on Nicole's side. She can't stand watching them keep losing!
"Mmm, good kitty, sweet kitty."
Su Chen took out another dried spirit fish and waved it around in his hand.
Spirit beasts at the Foundation Establishment level in the cultivation world are known for their delicious and flavorful meat.
"Meow meow meow!"
The cat meowed anxiously, its entire field of vision filled with dried fish.
She wriggled in Su Chen's arms, her two tails wagging rapidly.
It smells so good, really so good.
Even as dried fish, it looks so cute; tears involuntarily streamed down my face.
"hehe."
Su Chen was filled with enjoyment. The cat-like girl's body was light and soft, and the tail brushing against his skin felt incredibly comfortable.
It's really nice to masturbate while watching silly dramas.
He also spared some attention to chat with the idle Qingyi, chat with Ya who was slacking off at work, and check the situation in the chat group.
Multitasking is his daily routine, after all, he has so many girlfriends.
