Su Mo's house.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, the heating in the house was broken yesterday, and I just found someone to fix it this morning, and there was a problem with the circuit at night, and the whole house was directly out of power.

It was dark in the house, and KK and the others came outside wrapped in padded jackets.

Future is leading a fat rat with a leash and is walking a mouse on the street, and the passing girls all scream when they see it.

KK and Dongdong squatted on the ground, their hands red from the cold, and they didn't hit marbles for a while.

KK finished playing a marble and put his hand into Dongdong's padded jacket: "My hands are going to be numb, quickly hold your tail for me." ”

", use me as a heater, huh?" Knock Knock gave him a kick.

"What's wrong with holding it, and you won't die!" KK squeezed over and grabbed Dongdong's tail, and the two laughed and scolded each other.

At this time, the faint sound of engines was heard over the street, followed by a gust of wind.

The two of them looked up, and a floating car hovered overhead, its pitch-black streamlined shell almost blending in with the night, looking extremely mysterious and majestic.

Several red lasers are projected from the bottom of the floating car, interweaving and projecting three-dimensional holograms on the ground, and the cordon is suspended, encircling a space large enough to accommodate the car body.

Around the cordon, holographic subtitles keep scrolling: [Black Ark is landing, please do not approach]

Nearby residents opened their windows to watch, and pedestrians also stopped to watch and watch the process of the floating car landing.

KK couldn't help but exclaim: "I'll go, this is also too cool, whose car?" ”

Dong Dong snorted coldly: "Which rich person is it, ordinary people who can afford this kind of luxury car." ”

Her eyes rolled, her expression was like that of a cunning fox, and her tail was raised: "KK, do you have the courage to have a big deal with me?" ”

KK: "What do you mean?" ”

Dong Dong pointed to the black ark, lowered his voice and said: "When the car lands, we will rush over and drag the people inside, and then drive the car to the second-hand dealers in the border area and sell it, so that the head will have the money to buy a house~"

KK hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't! Causing trouble at the door of your home, for fear that the sheriff won't be able to catch you? ”

"What a coward!" Knock Knock kicked him.

The Black Ark landed in the holographic alert zone, the doors open like the wings of a black swan.

The driver stepped out of it, came to the rear door, and gracefully pulled the door open, making a "please" gesture.

Under the gaze of the crowd, a foot in plain sneakers fell to the ground, and its rough workmanship looked out of place with the car.

When the people in the back seat got out of the car, all three of them let out a loud voice: "Ah??? ”

Su Mo leaned on the car door and teased his bangs very coquettishly: "Come, how about evaluating this car?" ”

The three of them ran over in surprise, all stunned.

"Big brother, where did you steal this car?"

"Boss, which guy borrowed you?"

"Boss, okay, grab such a luxury car!"

Su Mo almost fainted: "What is stealing, borrowing, robbing, can't I earn it by myself?" This is my car! ”

The three of them shouted again: "Ah??? ”

Su Mo couldn't hold back the joy of sharing, hugged KK with his left hand, hugged Dong Dong with his right hand, and then rubbed his head with his head, and said excitedly: "K Bao, Dong Bao, Noble Treasure, we are going to be developed!" No more hard life from today! Hahaha! ”

"What a bump!" Dongdong was hugged and his face was flushed, and he didn't push him lightly, "What the hell is wrong?" ”

Su Mo pushed the three of them into the back compartment: "I can't say a word." Get in the car first, and I'll take you directly to see it. ”

The Black Ark sailed away from the streets of Wakamori and flew smoothly over Crescent City.

The city is lit up at night, and the night view is full of sparkling and stunning views from above.

Skyscrapers rise and fall in the night, colorful neon lights form patterns and fonts, and traffic on the surface road shuttles between the buildings, forming a dynamic band of light, like the pulse of the city.

The lights pierced through the windows of the Black Ark and reflected on the faces of KK and the others, illuminating the amazement and longing in their eyes.

KK and Dongdong, who grew up in the borderlands, have never seen the night view from high in their lives, and they have always been buried in the laboratory in the future, and there are few such opportunities, and they are immersed in the beautiful scenery at this time.

Su Mo put his arm around their shoulders, leaned on the window together, pointed to a skyscraper not far away, and said, "The building that doesn't have the lights on, do you see it?" ”

The three of them said in unison: "I saw it." ”

Su Mo was as happy as a child, and kept shaking them: "That's our home in the future!" ”

"Huh?!" All three were stunned, "Which floor?" ”

Su Mo shouted, "The whole building! All! ”

The three of them were stunned and speechless.

Su Mo said excitedly: "Driver, let's land first, let's go inside and have a look." ”

"Okay." The driving specialist lowered the float car to the entrance of the building.

The four of them ran into the building, there were no lights inside, but the outside light illuminated everything clearly.

The lobby is extremely spacious, there is an echo when walking, and the basic decoration has long been completed, just to arrange all kinds of furniture to move in.

Dongdong felt that he was dreaming, and for a moment he was in disbelief, and looked at Su Mo blankly: "Here. All ours? ”

Su Mo pointed to his feet, and then to the top of his head: "There are 12 floors underground, 88 floors above ground, a total of 100 floors, all ours!" You can arrange it however you want! ”

The joyful atmosphere exploded like fireworks, KK and Dongdong were so excited that they hugged and high-fived, you chased me and ran around, and rolled on the ground.

Dong Dong cheered while jumping on the spot: "Boss! You're awesome! I'm going to live on the highest floor! I want a room with floor-to-ceiling windows, a big bed where I can roll around, and a bathtub where I can take a bubble bath! ”

Su Mo nodded and smiled: "Okay~ floor-to-ceiling windows, big bed, bathtub, I remember." I'll decorate it for you according to the standard of the presidential suite of a five-star hotel! ”

KK was so excited that he asked, "Big brother, can we pick a room to set up as a recreation room?" Set up a billiard table, game console, and all kinds of arcade games in it, and you can do team building there when there are more people in the future! ”

Su Mo deliberately said in a contemptuous tone, "An entertainment room? KK: You're too petty. Let's just pick a whole layer out! It's all packed as an entertainment area! To be more luxurious than a commercial complex! ”

"Roar!" KK excitedly threw his fists into the air.

Future rubbed his hands excitedly like a little hamster: "Boss, then my laboratory."

Su Mo patted her on the shoulder and said heroically: "I will restore all your previous scientific research conditions according to the standards of the Royal Academy!" ”

"Oh-" Mirai tossed the rat in his arms into the air, caught it and continued to throw it, squeaky screams and her laughter echoing in the lobby.

For the next month, Su Mo was extremely busy.

On the one hand, in order to get an F1 driver's license for a floating car, he had to practice subjects 2 and 3 with his tutor every day in a dedicated venue.

On the other hand, he also has to take care of the decoration of the building.

The building was named the "Edge Building" by Sumer, and he was asked to design a cool sign.

The designer placed a lot of red neon lights on the top of the building, and the light and shadow intertwined to form a red umbrella pattern.

The Red Umbrella logo is inspired by one of Sumer's favorite pieces before the crossing, and the main character in the book is holding this weapon.

Because the edge building is very high, residents of the lakeside business district can see the red umbrella when they open their windows at night, and it has become one of the shining stars of Crescent City.

In terms of building planning, the 6th to 12th basement floors are classified as warehouses, with large cold storage, precision refrigeration unit warehouses, room temperature raw material storage rooms, etc., which are used to store daily necessities and experimental equipment.

The basement floors 2 to 5 are used as the laboratory of the future, which is subdivided into special blocks such as chemistry, biology, and electromechanical, so that she can conduct corresponding research.

As for the experimental equipment, because they are not civilian equipment, they are not included in the decoration costs borne by the authorities.

However, several of the parents of Chiyang Affiliated Primary School are suppliers in the field of scientific research hardware, and as soon as they heard that Su Mo needed experimental equipment, they were happy to return the favor.

Su Mo didn't have a single monthly coin, and the suppliers sent all kinds of instruments, including millions of high-end precision instruments, which made the future bubble.

The parents of those suppliers also said that if they need to buy new ones in the future, they will all go to the internal discounted price.

The first basement floor is set up as a quarantine area, and there are multiple access control and security units, so that only identified people can pass through, so as to ensure the privacy and security of the experimental area and warehouse.

The ground floor is an outdoor parking lot and a lobby, which is decorated in an atmospheric style and is usually used to receive visitors.

Floors 2 to 5 are set up as security areas for all kinds of safety operations and to respond to possible emergencies.

Floors 6 to 30 are administrative areas, all of which are offices and conference rooms, and when the mercenary group grows bigger, this is the main office space for the clerical staff in the group.

The 31st to 32nd floors are used as medical areas for the housing of the wounded and for daily medical work.

Floors 33 to 40 are floating vehicle parking garages, which will be used to park helicopters, floating vehicles, armed air boats, individual aircraft and other aerial vehicles in the future.

The 41st to 60th floors have been renovated into living quarters, with 60 rooms planned for each floor, ranging from single to multi-person living for couples or larger families, with a maximum capacity of 2,400 people.

After the mercenary group expands, if some mercenaries can't afford to buy a house, or can't afford the high rent of Crescent City, they can apply to live directly in the Edge Building, which is considered a team benefit.

The 61st and 62nd floors are the dining areas, and there will be restaurants with a variety of food styles to cater to the tastes of different mercenaries.

The 63rd to 79th floors are temporarily vacant, reserved to see the future development of the mercenary group, for flexible use.

The 80th floor is KK's dream entertainment area, which has a private cinema, a small bar, a karaoke box, a tea room, a variety of stadiums, saunas, etc., which can meet the daily entertainment of mercenaries and can also be used as a team building venue.

Several of them are video game rooms, which are equipped with a variety of high-end computers, game consoles, arcade game consoles, virtual reality equipment, and so on.

This was arranged by Su Mo's name.

Although he has crossed over, it does not affect his love for the game.

Above the 81st floor is a dedicated floor, which is specially reserved for the "core members" by Su Mo.

He is not a saint, and he can't be selfless and treat everyone equally.

After the mercenary group expands, some people will gain his full trust in fighting side by side again and again, and become "core members", such as Dongdong, KK, and Future.

And some people can only be general friends, Su Mo contributes money, they contribute, and every monthly coin is clearly settled, a relationship between managers and employees.

The dedicated floors from 81 to 88 are reserved for those core members.

This is where Summer will customize a place for each of them to live, and use it to store the most confidential documents, materials, and so on.

In the past month, the building decoration work has been in full swing.

Under the coordination of the city council, more than 30 construction teams are working on each floor at the same time, and countless furniture is transported in and countless construction waste is transported out every day.

In addition to taking the driver's license test, Su Mo will often come back to see the progress of the renovation, and every time he comes, there are earth-shaking changes.

Looking at the finished rooms, Su Mo's mood was like floating on the clouds, and he felt relaxed and happy.

Finally, on November 10, the renovation of all floors of the Edge Building was completed.

After completing the F1 driver's license, Su Mo drove the black ark and parked in the floating garage on the 33rd floor.

KK and the others shouted and ran out of the car.

In the future, I couldn't wait to take the elevator to the underground laboratory to prepare for the commissioning of the new experimental equipment.

KK couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted, "Knock knock, let's go to the arcade!" The eldest brother said that there is a very advanced virtual reality equipment there, which can input sensory signals to the human body, and it is as immersive as traveling into a game, let's try it! ”

Dong Dong clenched his small fist and stomped his feet on the spot: "Rush rush rush!" I'm going back to my room to take a bubble bath after the game, and I've heard that the bath is big enough to swim in!! ”

The two laughed, and you chased me to the entertainment area on the 80th floor.

Seeing his partner so happy, Su Mo was also overjoyed.

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

His room is more than 600 square meters, which is furnished according to the standards of the top presidential suite, in addition to the bedroom, study, kitchen and other living rooms, there is also a huge open-air garden as a balcony.

The wind blew through the evergreen trees on his face, bringing the unique fragrance of the forest leaves, and Su Mo leaned on the guardrail, looking at the city from afar.

The distant traffic runs through the buildings like a shining river, and the headlights are like the stars flowing in the river, when the red light is on, the stars pause, and then continue to rush after the green light, interweaving a magnificent sea of stars.

The night view of Crescent City is so charming and gorgeous.

But Su Mo knew that this was just a façade of it.

Beneath the city's bustling exterior lies in temptation and crisis.

At this moment, there are many people in this world who are standing on a high place overlooking the prosperity of the world like him.

If you sink into it, but you don't know how to be in awe, you will fall to pieces unconsciously.

Su Mo's eyes reflected the brilliant lights, not intoxicated at all, only calm and clear.

He said to himself, "Don't dwell on this, you still have a long way to go." ”
