Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead
Chapter 643 - 299: The Great Philanthropist
No. 26 Garden Street, Wu Chang and Erin sat in the attic, watching the sleeping Amber.
Wu Chang looked at Amber's hand, staring at the recently burned area, an astonishing guess flashed through his mind.
Could the fire in Sigef City be related to the burn Amber just suffered?
If so, why?
In the resentment of the Fluorescent Bacterial Colony, Amber often gets hurt in life. Not to mention before, just two days ago in the Mirror World, while possessed by the Mirror Killer, Grace's fists and feet frequently targeted Amber.
Truly discussing injuries, the harm Amber suffered at that time was definitely more severe than being burned by fire.
Previously when Amber got hurt, Sigef City hadn't shown any strange signs, so why was there a reaction this time?
But if you say there is no connection between the two, everything seems too coincidental.
However, irrespective of whether the sudden fire in Sigef City is related to Amber, there is one thing Wu Chang can be certain of, which is that Amber is definitely not ordinary.
In Amanda Dean's resentment, while in a hurry, Amber directly lifted the heavy statue weighing down Amanda Dean. When she saw him being burned by fire, she also suddenly burst out with a speed beyond that of him and Erin.
This outburst already surpassed the limits of countless human bodies, it couldn't be explained away as a sports student's potential unleashed in extreme anger.
Wu Chang shook his head, putting aside Amber's identity, and turned his gaze to the prompt appearing before his eyes.
Amber's recognition of him had increased further before she fell asleep.
"You successfully protected Amber, allowing her to break free from the curse of bringing bad luck to those around her and daring to open her heart to others again."
"You have gained some recognition from Amber, her current recognition value of you is: 40 points."
"You have received an additional 10% attribute release."
Wu Chang's current attribute panel is:
Life: 36
Power: Body: 36/True Self: 92
Agility: 25
Endurance: 27
Energy: Body: 115/True Self: 68
Inspiration: 49
Will: 68
After a 10% attribute release, Wu Chang finally had one attribute exceeding triple-digits, resembling a figure from the past with extraordinary values.
Attribute increases are a good thing, but having eliminated the Fluorescent Bacterial Colony and helping Amber rid herself of the behind-the-scenes hand causing her misfortune, why did recognition only increase by 20 points.
It seems his guess when defeating the Mirror Killer was correct, to gain full recognition from Amber, he needs to help her solve five troubles, or to say five heart demons.
There are three more troubles like the Mirror Killer and the Fluorescent Bacterial Colony!
Wu Chang sighed, looking at Amber with eyes full of heartache and helplessness.
A child just over ten, how come they have so many life-threatening troubles, when he was in elementary school, he was pondering how to secretly play with his phone every day.
Wu Chang and Erin waited until ten o'clock, Amber slowly woke from her slumber.
Aware, Amber looked at Wu Chang, hesitation on her face, seemingly unsure of what to say.
Wu Chang stood up, removing the pink apron he had been wearing, and said: "Don't just sit there, let's eat."
Amber, in her growth phase, hadn't eaten until ten, naturally felt hungry, and upon Wu Chang's mention, her stomach growled cooperatively.
With a slight blush, she walked toward the table, responding softly: "Okay."
"Wait a moment." Wu Chang stopped Amber, then pointed to the sink.
"Wash your hands first."
When Amber was bewitched by the Fluorescent Bacterial Colony, she held hands with her friends and sang. The body of those creatures is a luminous colony of bacteria. Having touched those guys, who knew how many kinds of bacteria were on her hands.
Amber: "Okay."
At the dining table, Wu Chang naturally brought up the things in the attic.
"I've seen your friends, they're not good things."
Amber's hand stopped, she vaguely remembered that when she was controlled, the mushroom people actively attacked Wu Chang.
When the mushroom people attacked, she felt a familiar fear, every time someone important in her life was in an accident, she felt that feeling.
So upon first gaining consciousness, she anxiously looked for Wu Chang and Erin, afraid they'd be harmed.
Amber didn't answer, yet Wu Chang continued to speak:
"Although I was formerly a combat athlete, my profession was fighting people, but in my youth, I encountered some with extraordinary abilities. I have some understanding of fighting spirit beings too."
"I am not a control freak. It's not like I would interfere with which friends my daughter makes, but friends who would harm you, I won't allow them to exist. Even if you blame me, I won't agree."
Amber desperately wanted to say she wouldn't blame Wu Chang, but clearly, it was because of her that Wu Chang was in danger, she didn't seem to have the right to say this.
The atmosphere became slightly stifled.
Erin timely spoke up: "Now that the attic matter is resolved, do you want to come down and sleep?"
Upon hearing this, Amber nodded.
That's how it is with family; you need someone to play the bad cop and someone to play the good cop.
Wu Chang needed to use direct words to break the reservations in Amber's heart and create a reliable figure so that Amber would no longer be afraid.
Although Amber would feel grateful to him in her heart, since the issue originated because of her, even if resolved, she would instinctively want to evade discussing these matters.
And Erin provided her with an escape harbor.
Not only indicating that the matter was over, but also proactively offering her a welcome to come down and further understand her.
Amber looked at Erin, hesitated for a moment, but then summoned up the courage and said: "Erin, I'm afraid to be alone, can I sleep with you?"
