Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 642: Hua Shao strikes again? Is this the end?

West Street Financial Building.

now.

This is almost the most prosperous place in the entire West Street.

Nearby is a modern building similar in size to the Pentagon, with a circle of commercial centers below.

And in the lower left corner of the commercial center...

A coffee shop with retro decoration style is built in a corner of the financial building.

The light here is blocked by the steel support plate above, making it slightly dim. Only the warm light from inside the store shines through the painted glass windows, illuminating the surroundings.

It's like the only remaining starlight in the dark night.

"Is this the place you're talking about?"

Chen Ye stopped here and turned to look at the man in the baseball cap standing next to him.

That’s right, the man in the baseball cap was the member of the Dark Night Organization who was captured by Chen Ye before.

After signing the [Devil's Contract] agreement, he now had to reach a cooperative relationship with Chen Ye.

As for the other accomplices... they went back and made up excuses.

According to the terms of the [Devil's Contract], they need to find a suitable excuse to get away with it, and they must not let the organization members find out the slightest bit of the inside information during this period...

Of course, in order to prevent any unexpected situations, Chen Ye also summoned several "parasitic nightmares" from the spiritual world to parasitize on the back of their heads.

Chen Ye can use "Parasitic Nightmare" to obtain specific information about any disturbance.

If there is something wrong with their words...

Then.

Chen Ye can even instantly manipulate the self-awareness of the "parasitic nightmares" he summons, replace them, and say reasonable things.

If it was the previous Chen Ye, who controlled the "Parasitic Nightmare" to the half-step fifth level, he would have to pay at least one gold coin to gain control.

But now Chen Ye only needs to play a tune, and his status and weight will be enough.

"really!"

"As my status improves, the value I can charge for a performance also increases in sync."

"After all, the scarcity of listening to a fourth-class professional playing the flute is definitely different from that of listening to a fifth-class professional playing the flute."

"What's more... as an art profession... if you can continue to improve in this area, the value and benefits will only increase!"

"Using the performance fee to replace the summoning fee, this is a huge profit!"

The corners of Chen Ye's mouth raised slightly.

after all.

Being able to use a performance to replace a gold coin is such a huge profit!

Moreover, ever since absorbing the [Chapter of the Ancestral Sea], the creatures that Chen Ye can summon are becoming more and more advanced!
Chen Ye can now summon beings of the same level like the Half-Step Five Revolution without paying any cost.

Even if it is a fifth-turn existence, if it is not particularly powerful, or if it can meet certain specific conditions, it can be exempted from the cost of one gold coin.

Half a step and five turns...

There are still some special conditions for exchange.

But if you reach the level of the sixth turn, you still have to pay gold coins honestly, and it has to be a lot of gold coins!
However, compared to before, Chen Ye’s current assets already have the opportunity to summon a sixth-level existence!

If it was before...

With his status, if he wanted to ask a sixth-level existence for help, the amount of gold coins he would have to collect would definitely be a terrifying number!

It is not something that current players can afford.

But if it were the current Chen Ye, he could still hold on if he gritted his teeth and summoned a sixth-level existence.

If you are lucky, the other party may give you a discount or a friendly price, and you may be able to take a look at it.

Closer to home.

With the "Parasitic Nightmare" who has reached the fifth level of the Half-Step Realm as his best assistant, he naturally doesn't need to worry about these guys saying something unfavorable to him...

It can monitor and control in real time...

Of course.

Chen Ye was not worried that these guys would deliberately say something unfavorable to him.

After all, the influence of the [Devil's Contract], plus the fact that I played the suona before leaving, made them more afraid of me...

In addition, we also prepared [Horror Bento] for them so that they can have a "happy" meal while on the road!
Following this process...

Now, these guys probably don’t dare to have any thoughts about Chen Ye at all!

The reason why Chen Ye wanted to be on guard was that their overly unnatural facial expressions might arouse suspicion within the Dark Night Organization.

After all, Chen Ye had previously dealt with one of his accomplices, so the aspect of making up excuses would become a little more complicated.

But through his ingenious design, he successfully framed the teammate's death on his own head...

Then he let his accomplice go to other areas to carry out activities in the name of vacation, and the situation was temporarily stabilized.

Subsequently.

Chen Ye came to the vicinity of the coffee shop.

The man in the cap came to Chen Ye's ear and whispered:
"You're lucky tonight!"

"When the moon is dark and the wind is strong, that's when the red wolf spider enters this short-legged coffee shop!"

"And tonight is the night that never sleeps, and it happens to be a dark and windy night!"

Chen Ye frowned and looked up at the sky above West Street.

now……

Through the layers of clouds, you can see that the moon in the night sky has an unusually dark outline.

The whole tone looks like black!
So black it's red!

There is an unsettling feeling of palpitations...

"Is it true that every night that never sleeps is a dark and windy night?"

Chen Ye stroked his chin, staring at the "black moon" above with a thoughtful expression.

Subsequently.

His eyes were fixed on the top of the low-rise coffee shop.

I saw that in this coffee shop, there were blood-red filaments like spider webs entwined inside.

These silk threads weave a big net inside the short-legged cafe!
However, the coverage of this spider web does not end there...

Instead, it kept moving towards the deeper direction of West Street, continuously covering it!

Especially this most magnificent Pentagon!

now.

When Chen Ye looked up, he could see the Pentagon, which was a hundred stories high and stood like a towering pagoda. Although the exterior of the building was flashing with magnificent lights...

But don't know why.

If you look through the interior and see the building, you will always feel an inexplicable silence and gloom.

There was no activity inside, only occasional ghostly shadows flashed by, but it was hard to tell what they were.

and.

From the perspective of the Eye of Luck, the entire building was covered with chains like black mist, lingering everywhere, leading to every corner of the City of Destiny...

"This is also a difficult and large copy!"

Chen Ye frowned. It seemed that the really difficult things to deal with in West Street were not much better than those in East Street!
At least……

When he was completing these dungeons in East Street, he still had the support of the higher-ups in East Street, including the Mazu in the temple shrine, secretly backing him up.

But this West Street is filled with more sins, and these sins have spread to the depths of the "City of Destiny"...

I don’t know what will happen next!
therefore.

Chen Ye became more and more certain that there was a very dangerous copy hidden in the West Street in this area!

This copy is related to the previous Dark Night Organization, the behind-the-scenes existence corresponding to Von Lucius, and various factors that enabled "Flowers" to suddenly sprint to the list this month.

Chen Ye became more and more aware that everything was converging in this place...

If I want to sprint to the top of the list this month, I definitely can't avoid this place!
The Pentagon on West Street is home to a vast array of assets.

These assets can be converted into less expensive assets at any time...

If there is a mysterious force behind "Flowers and Youth" helping him, and if he cannot inflict serious damage on them, then it is uncertain whether he can maintain his position as number one this month.

There is a high possibility that he will be killed by a counterattack!

After all, his enemy is no longer just Hua Shao, he also has to consider the deep darkness behind West Street.

"call!"

At this moment Chen Ye took a deep breath again.

It seems...

This low-rise coffee shop also holds a big secret!
It is very likely an agency directly under the intelligence department!

If this is really the place, then there should be a lot of gains here!
Even if there is no way to capture the red wolf spider...

however.

As long as he can capture one of the staff here, it will be a huge gain for Chen Ye.

You know, Chen Ye can completely obtain relevant information about the present world by playing the suona and entering the subconscious ocean of the spiritual world.

therefore……

As long as we capture the existence related to this area and control it, theoretically, we can obtain relevant information.

Of course, it depends on how these intelligence agencies will keep the secrets here.

If the defense is extremely tight and there are really no loopholes left, it would be difficult to obtain relevant intelligence even in this way.

But anyway...

If Chen Ye could capture the existence here, it would definitely be of great benefit to him!
next second.

He looked towards the short-legged coffee shop, ready to make a strategy.

At this moment, Chen Ye noticed that Hua Shao's ranking points actually started to move.

"Oh? Has it started moving now?"

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows, took a closer look, and found that Hua Shao's assets had exploded by 50 million just now!
This is actually something that Hua Shao can rarely do!
after all……

The attitudes of Hua Shao and Chen Ye in rushing to the top of the charts are still a little different...

The kind that belongs to the continuous growth stream.

But this time, Hua Shao rarely used explosive tactics.

It immediately caused heated discussions across the Internet——

[Hua Shao actually used such an explosive method? 】

[It seems that he is still unwilling to fall behind the big guys on the list, and is slowly catching up! ]

[Yes, although Hua Shao is lagging far behind now, I think there is still a lot of room for recovery. ]

【? ? ? 】

[The above, what you said is a bit nonsense. Now Chen Ye is several positions ahead of Hua Shao. His assets are worth 500 million. Even if he increases by 50 million, it won't be so easy to surpass him, right? ]

[Hey, brother, don't be so confident. It's hard to say what will happen before the final moment before the list is settled. Who knows if there will be a sudden change? ]

[Ha! If you had said this before, I would have agreed with you, but now that Boss Chen Ye has exploded, I think the situation is completely stable! ]

[That’s right… It has come to this point. We are ahead by such a huge margin. Moreover, Boss Chen Ye might still have some hidden cards that he has not used yet. How could he not be able to beat Hua Shao? ]

[You guys are praising Chen Ye too much. Since Chen Ye was able to reverse the situation of Flower Boy with a surprise attack last month, why can't Flower Boy use the same method to launch a surprise attack in the last wave? ]

[Anyway, I think the possibility is not high...]

[Don't make me a god casually. I was only number one last month. I haven't confirmed that I will be number one this month. Do I have to be praised by you guys to become a god so soon? ]

[Although I support Chen Ye's move, it is not advisable to create gods casually! ]

[Yes, wait until you win the first place in this month's list before opening the champagne. If you open the champagne too early, what will happen if the boomerang hits you again? ]

Chen Ye looked at the discussion above and found that Hua Shao’s asset value has now exceeded 800 million.

He stroked his chin and said secretly: "Explosive type... It seems that the forces behind this are also beginning to exert their strength..."

Judging from the sudden explosion of such a large amount of assets...

There must be some dark assets in this "City of Destiny", and a large amount of them have flowed into Hua Shao's pocket.

The richest area is none other than East Street.

West Street can be said to be the largest commercial center in the surrounding area.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes. He had a premonition:
"The source of Hua Shao's huge amount of funds must be in the real estate on West Street. There is no mistake about it!"

After all, at such a critical time this month, someone of Hua Shao's level would definitely not go out casually.

Don't even mention Chen Ye...

Even many of the big guys at the bottom of the list actually want to get rid of Hua Shao.

After all, as long as "Hua Shao" ranks ahead of any big name on the list, he will occupy a spot on the list.

and so……

These list bosses all have their reasons for removing "Flowers"!
If Hua Shao goes out at this time, he will definitely encounter threats!
Therefore, the most likely place for Hua Shao to appear now is to stay inside West Street!
In this area, most of the properties are of low cost...

Staying in this place, he is an absolute local boss, and this is also a place where he is absolutely safe!

And the large amount of funds that Hua Shao was able to remit must have come from a certain area on West Street...

Where exactly it is depends on how the Eye of Destiny finds it!
