After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 211 - 71: Edge Mansion (Part 2)

Su Mo nodded and smiled, "Alright, floor-to-ceiling windows, big bed, bathtub, I've got it. I'll install it to the standard of a presidential suite in a five-star hotel for you!"

KK couldn't contain his excitement and eagerly asked, "Big bro, can we pick a room and set it up as an entertainment room? Put in a billiard table, game consoles, various arcade games, and such. When more people join, we can have team-building events there!"

Su Mo deliberately used a dismissive tone, "An entertainment room? KK, you're thinking too small. Let's pick an entire floor and turn it into an entertainment zone! It should be more luxurious than a commercial complex!"

"Yah-ho!" KK excitedly punched the air repeatedly.

Future clapped her hands excitedly like a little hamster, "Boss, what about my laboratory..."

Su Mo patted her shoulder, saying heroically, "I'll replicate your previous research conditions to the standard of the Royal Academy!"

"Oh—" Future tossed the little mouse she held into the air, catching it back and tossing again, her laughter and the squeaky shrieks echoed together in the hall.

...

For the next month, Su Mo was extremely busy.

On one hand, to obtain the F1 license for hovercars, he practiced subject two and three with a tutor at a dedicated venue every day.

On the other hand, he also had to oversee the decoration work of the mansion.

This building was named "Edge Mansion" by Su Mo, who even hired someone to design a cool logo for it.

The designer arranged numerous red neon lights at the top of the building, intertwining light and shadows to form the pattern of a red umbrella.

The inspiration for the red umbrella logo came from a novel that Su Mo loved before traveling through time, where the protagonist wielded this kind of weapon.

Since Edge Mansion is very high, residents of the Lakefront Business District can open windows at night and gaze at that red umbrella, which has become one of the shining stars of New Moon City.

Regarding the mansion's layout, the underground levels 6 to 12 are designated as warehouses, equipped with large cold storage, precise freezing unit warehouses, and ambient-temperature material storage rooms, used for storing living supplies and laboratory equipment.

Levels 2 to 5 one; laboratory for Future, further subdivided into specialized sections like chemistry, biology, and electromechanical areas for her research.

As for laboratory equipment, since they aren't civilian devices, they aren't covered by the decoration costs undertaken by the authorities.

Nonetheless, several parents from Chiyang Attached Primary School are suppliers in the research hardware field, and upon hearing that Su Mo needed laboratory equipment, they were all happy to do him this favor.

Without spending a single moon coin, the suppliers sent over various instruments, including several high-end precision instruments worth millions, making Future exuberantly happy.

Those supplier parents also mentioned that if new ones are needed later, they would all be offered at internal discount prices.

Level 1 is set up as an isolation zone, with multiple security access points and units, allowing only those with identity verification to pass, ensuring the privacy and safety of the laboratory and warehouse areas.

Ground level is an outdoor parking lot and hall, designed with grandeur, usually used to receive visiting guests.

Levels 2 to 5 are designated as security zones for various safety operations and to handle potential emergencies.

Levels 6 to 30 are administrative areas filled with offices and meeting rooms, intended to be the main workspace for clerks once the Mercenary Corps expands.

Levels 31 to 32 serve as medical zones for housing the injured and conducting daily medical work.

Levels 33 to 40 are hovercraft storage areas for parking helicopters, hovercars, armed airships, individual flying devices, and other aerial vehicles.

Levels 41 to 60 are all decorated as living areas, each floor planned with 60 rooms, including single residences and larger ones for couples or families, able to accommodate up to 2400 residents.

After the Mercenary Corps expands, if some members can't afford housing or the hefty rent in New Moon City, they can apply to live directly in Edge Mansion as a team benefit.

Levels 61 and 62 are dining areas, intended to house restaurants with various culinary styles to cater to different mercenaries' tastes.

Levels 63 to 79 are temporarily vacant, reserved for the Mercenary Corps' future development for flexible usage.

Level 80 is KK's dream entertainment zone, housing private cinemas, small bars, karaoke rooms, tea rooms, various gyms, sauna rooms, etc., to meet mercenaries' daily entertainment needs and serve as a venue for team-building activities.

Several rooms are gaming rooms, with various high-performance computers, gaming consoles, arcade machines, virtual reality devices, and more.

These were arranged on Su Mo's request.

Even though he's traversed time, it doesn't affect his love for games.

Levels 81 and above are reserved floors, specifically left for "core members."

Su Mo isn't a saint, unable to achieve complete selflessness or treat everyone equally.

When the Mercenary Corps expands, some will earn his complete trust through repeated battles side by side, becoming "core members," like Dongdong, KK, and Future.

While some will merely stay acquaintances, with Su Mo funding them and their efforts tallied by moon coin, a relationship between a manager and employees.

Levels 81 to 88 as reserved floors are specifically allocated for those core members.

Su Mo will customize living spaces for each of them here, used for storing the most confidential files, materials, etc.

This past month, decoration work on the mansion has been lively and bustling.

Under the coordination of the City Council, over thirty construction teams were working simultaneously on different floors, with countless furniture moved in and construction waste moved out daily.

While taking driving lessons, Su Mo often returned to check the decoration progress, witnessing transformative changes each time.

Looking at the completed rooms, Su Mo felt like he was floating in the clouds, feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Finally, on November 10th, renovations on all floors of Edge Mansion were completed.

Su Mo, having finished the F1 license, drove the black Ark to park at the hovercraft garage on the 33rd floor.

KK and the others shouted and cheered, rushing off the vehicle.

Future couldn't wait to ride the elevator to the underground laboratory to prepare and test the new experimental equipment.

KK couldn't contain his excitement and shouted, "Dongdong, let's quickly go to the arcade! Big bro said there are high-end virtual reality devices in there that can input sensory signals to our bodies, making it feel like we're traveling into the game. Let's go try it out!"

Dongdong clenched her small fists and stomped in place, "Charge, charge, charge! After gaming, I want to return to my room for a bubble bath. I've heard the bathtub is big enough to swim in!!!"

The two laughed, chasing each other toward the entertainment zone on the 80th floor.

Seeing his friends so happy, Su Mo also felt joy in his heart.

Su Mo's room is on the highest 88th floor, alongside Dongdong, KK, and Future.

His room spans over 600 square meters, arranged to the standard of a top presidential suite, including bedroom, study, kitchen, and other living quarters, plus a vast outdoor garden serving as a balcony.

The wind blew through the evergreens, brushing against his face, bringing the unique fragrance of the leaves. Su Mo leaned on the railing, gazing distantly at this city of lights and merriment.

In the distance, the traffic flowed like gleaming rivers through the buildings, with car lights resembling stars in the river flowing by. When the red light came on, the stars paused, while the green light's appearance resumed their surge, weaving a grand galaxy.

The night view of New Moon City is so enchanting and splendid.

But Su Mo knows it's merely the surface.

Beneath the city's glamorous appearance lies temptation and dangers.

At this moment, countless people around the world like him are standing high above, gazing down at this world's splendor.

If you linger there without understanding awe, you might unknowingly fall shattered into pieces.

Su Mo's eyes reflected the dazzling lights, without a shred of infatuation, only calmness and clarity.

He told himself, "Don't linger here; you have a long road ahead of you."
