Chapter 662: Chapter 305: Calm Before the Storm (Part 2)

Oh no, under the amplification of the Blind Abyss, he moved too swiftly and lightly when transforming into the Sea Giant, causing him to lose control.

He inhaled Murphy’s life force in one breath, and this embodiment of pure power provided him with 25 points of power, bringing his power to 150 points.

If this continues, his attributes will soon collide with the Desolate Realm Barrier before he gains complete trust from Amber.

90% attribute suppression is still a bit low; it’d be better if it were higher.

Wu Chang deactivated the Blind Abyss and brought the contorted Murphy back in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at Murphy’s twisted body on the ground, then at Wu Chang, who didn’t even have a scratch, and they could imagine how one-sided the battle was.

Booker approached Wu Chang and whispered:

"Boss, considering we sincerely follow you, could you reveal a bit about the method to break free from attribute suppression?"

"We don’t need to break free completely like you; just getting rid of part of it so these monsters don’t keep chasing us would be enough."

Wu Chang glanced at him sideways and said, "All my strength comes from my talent and hard work, not from anything you think of."

Booker nodded, returned to the group, and said, "The boss said the hack he uses isn’t for us."

Wu Chang: ...

Maligning the boss like this, is it right?

After dealing with Murphy, the next thing for everyone to do was to hide in the tent and wait for the rain to extinguish the mountain fire.

With Wu Chang’s constant spellcasting, the rain lasted for a whole day, extinguishing 95% of the mountain fires that once rampaged through Sigef City in a single day.

The remaining areas were fire-regulate zones that were easy to control, and True Self led his minions as a team-building exercise to easily put out the fires.

No one expected such a fierce mountain fire to end so abruptly.

The media didn’t, Mayor Avery didn’t, and neither did the minority politicians.

During the media interviews, Wu Chang skillfully recited a pre-prepared speech.

He claimed he couldn’t bear the raging fire and prayed to God for help. After receiving a divine response, he volunteered to take on the heavy responsibility of firefighting.

The media present spread the interview of True Self widely for views, alongside a bribe from Old K, swiftly letting the citizens of Sigef City know that this suddenly appearing philanthropist was actually a saint guided by God.

By firefighting, Wu Chang became the most supported person by Sigef City’s citizens, without dispute.

After the media interview, he didn’t immediately seek out Mayor Avery but instead secretly contacted the leader of the minority politicians, the same Mexican politician who had once praised him to destruction, Miguel.

Miguel was very surprised by Wu Chang’s arrival. After hesitating for a moment, he still invited Wu Chang into his secret meeting room.

After the mountain fire was extinguished, they had already lost their chance to take down Old K and also gave the opponent leverage, who at any time could use the earlier discourse to settle accounts.

If you dodge the first day, you might not dodge the fifteenth day, so it’s better to hear what the other party wants.

Upon meeting Miguel, Wu Chang got straight to the point and said:

"I need you to do me a favor. If the matter is achieved, our past grievances will be written off, and those proposals you’ve wanted to pass for years, I can help you pass them."

Miguel didn’t expect Wu Chang’s opening line to be so explosive. He seemed to have guessed what Wu Chang wanted to do, and his breathing became rapid. After pondering for a dozen seconds, he asked:

"What do you want us to do?"

Wu Chang smiled benevolently and said, "Run for mayor."

Leaving Miguel’s office, he headed straight to the mayor’s office, where he and Avery had a pleasant chat, like old friends.

Before leaving, Wu Chang placed a check for five million Federation Coins on Avery’s desk.

Avery glanced at the zeros on the check and asked, "What does this mean?"

Wu Chang said, "Sigef City just experienced a mountain fire. Although the fire was extinguished in time, the damage was vast. For this, I wish to contribute a little to Sigef City."

Upon hearing this, Avery raised an eyebrow, collected the check, and said, "Mr. Peace, I extend the gratitude of Sigef City’s citizens to you."

Wu Chang slightly bowed and said, "This is what I should do."

Accumulating a donation of five million Federation Coins to the city government allows one to build a philanthropist statue in Sigef Central Plaza.

Relying on the philanthropist statue grants high dungeon influence, allowing one to exchange for various benefits.

One such benefit is gaining a 10% attribute liberation.

This method of exchanging for extra attribute liberation was discovered by the squid people on the White Tower’s side.

Before entering the Cursed Dungeon, Wu Chang had targeted Old K precisely to follow this path.

The maximum donation can only exchange for 10% attribute liberation. Before entering, it seemed a lot, but after receiving Amber’s hidden side quest, this 10% seemed less important.

However, the essence of the philanthropist statue is transforming player influence into dungeon internal rule privileges. Not converting it into attribute liberation can still serve other purposes.

Just wait a bit longer; once he successfully becomes the mayor of Sigef City, with dominance over both the underworld and official circles, how will Lin Jiang stay hidden then?

"Just wait a bit longer; the right moment is near." Meanwhile, Wu Chang’s object of obsession, Lin Jiang, was comforting his companions with the same line.

Compared to when they initially subdued the Centipede Puppet, there were far fewer players around Lin Jiang, only a scattered five or six.
