Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead
Chapter 673 - 309: Kid, Aren’t Numbers Amazing?
Since he gained overwhelming stats, he got used to overpowering others. Now it seems, as long as he carefully analyzes the situation and seeks help from the copy’s natives, he can complete seemingly difficult tasks without using force.
Just like when he first entered the Abyssal Game and did at the Moonlight Sanatorium copy.
He must find time to properly thank Teacher Mavira.
As the sky completely darkens, today’s volunteer work ends, and Wu Chang picks up Amber and returns to No. 26 Garden Street.
Amber, whose heart demon gradually fades, regains her previous cheerfulness and starts sharing interesting stories from the orphanage at the dinner table with Wu Chang and Erin.
After dinner, the three of them sit on the sofa watching TV, where the mayoral election is being broadcast live.
The voting has ended, and under the influence of money, the staff is fast-forwarding through sorting the ballots, expected to start counting in an hour.
Wu Chang pointed to the TV and asked, "If you want to help orphans, why not become a great philanthropist like Peace, so that you can help more orphans?"
Amber shook her head and said, "I prefer to use my own hands to personally help those who need it."
"And I heard from Dean Susan that Peace is not a great philanthropist but the biggest villain in the city. More than half of the children in the orphanage were caused by him and his henchman White Old K."
Wu Chang awkwardly smiled and defended his true self:
"I heard that Peace also just came to Sigef City, and the things White Old K did before can’t be pinned on him, right?"
Amber said, "But I can tell he’s killed people; just taking someone’s life means he’s not a good person."
She suddenly remembered something, looked up at Wu Chang, and added a line:
"Except for you, Sean."
Wu Chang said indifferently, "It’s okay, I don’t intend to be a good person."
Amber curiously asked, "Why? Many people have told me that only by being a good person can one receive the God’s shelter."
Wu Chang curled his lips and asked back, "Does God really shelter good people?"
Upon hearing Wu Chang’s rhetorical question, Amber recalled something, and her face quickly became gloomy.
Wu Chang realized he had misspoken, causing Amber to recall Sister Amanda’s memories, and quickly said:
"I don’t care about being a good person or if I’ve hurt someone. I only care about whether I can protect what I value."
"Being a good person isn’t wrong. I respect every good person, but I hope your reason for being a good person is that you want to be one, not because you want to please some existence and force yourself to be one."
Wu Chang still wanted to say something, but his voice stopped, his brows furrowed, and he looked out the window.
Erin, who was watching their conversation, stood up, took Amber to the study, and said, "It’s getting late; you should do your homework."
After seeing Amber being pulled into the study, Wu Chang slowly got up and opened the door.
He saw a stranger at his doorstep, about to step onto his lawn.
Though a stranger, Wu Chang had seen his wanted poster—in front of him was none other than the recently missing Dragon Armor.
Dragon Armor looked at the male owner of No. 26 Garden Street, showing a friendly smile.
"I heard you adopted a girl?"
Wu Chang looked at the approaching Dragon Armor, puzzled, "Yes, and then?"
Dragon Armor showed a relaxed smile, "Nothing, then it’s you guys."
Finally, he found them. Only God knew how these past two days were for him.
The process of searching for the world’s will was not dangerous but far more troublesome than he thought, as he had to walk street by street, searching house by house.
Over the past two days, the areas he searched showed no anomalies, normal to the point he started suspecting if Lin Jiang was playing tricks on him, sending him away on purpose while plotting something during this time.
Just today, when he gained nothing and prepared to go back to confront Lin Jiang, he completed coloring the explored regions and found out he subconsciously avoided a street.
Garden Street.
This time, under deliberate search, he finally entered Garden Street, checked house by house, and finally targeted No. 26, which was Wu Chang’s home.
To determine who was the world’s will, he even kidnapped several residents, asking them about this household’s information.
When he heard the outrageous story of Amber’s background, he was fully convinced that Amber was the world’s will Lin Jiang was looking for.
What he needed to do next was simple.
Dragon Armor smiled and said to Wu Chang, "Because of adopting the girl, you all must die."
He then drew a treasure sword and slashed it towards Wu Chang.
From his perspective, an ordinary weak elementary school teacher could be killed with a casual sword swing.
But who knew Wu Chang would evade Dragon Armor’s sword strike in a flash and take a step forward, delivering an elbow strike to Dragon Armor.
"Man!"
With a bang, Dragon Armor’s nasal bone broke from the elbow, and blood gushed out instantly. He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground.
He covered his nose, staring incredulously at Wu Chang.
What was going on? How could a native evade his attack and counter with an elbow strike up close?
He shook his head, and a faint golden light emanated from his body, dispelling the dizziness in his mind, and he shakily stood up. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
This time it was Wu Chang’s turn to be surprised. If Mamba Iron Elbow’s negative status displayed, it would be enough to fill the status bar of the elbow-struck person. In his mind, only Joy could clear all negative statuses from Mamba Iron Elbow so quickly.
What level was Dragon Armor, to have the same performance as Joy?
