Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead-Chapter 422 - 225: The First Secret

"Mr. Moritz, although it’s slightly inappropriate to mention this now, for the safety of you and your family, I want to tell you that our company’s latest automatic defense system, compared to the older system used by Orens Manor, has updated its automatic weapons by at least two generations and added an overload mode."

"The overload mode is specifically designed to counter the Disqualified Monster. It can effectively resist the abilities of the Disqualified Monster and is equipped with enough firepower to repel it."

"If Orens Manor had deployed the latest automatic defense system today instead of the old one, I can assure you, even if we encountered today’s situation again, without the emergency response team, the Disqualified Monster would not have been able to harm any of your lives."

This time, everyone survived safely, but if the latest automatic defense system is not replaced, next time we may not be as lucky.

It’s unclear whether Moritz understood Wu Chang’s implication or was simply impressed by the Hymn Company’s technology after seeing the Essence Armor.

Moritz didn’t feel the slightest bit offended by Wu Chang’s opportunistic pitch; instead, he said:

"That’s absolutely perfect. I’ve always wanted to replace it with the latest automatic defense system, but others thought it was unnecessary, so it was temporarily shelved."

"Now that everyone understands the importance of automatic defense systems, I’m sure no one will refuse this expense."

Moritz looked at the other residents, who immediately agreed, expressing no objections and indicating their willingness to install the latest automatic defense system.

Moritz called over a young man and said to Wu Chang:

"His name is Raymond, my assistant. He will be fully responsible for the procurement of the automatic defense system. Sean, since you’re the manager of the automatic defense system department, he can talk directly with you later."

"Regarding the purchase of the automatic defense system, all configurations should be bought at the highest specifications. Don’t worry about the money; the technology of your Hymn Company is worth the price."

Moritz’s cooperative attitude left Wu Chang somewhat at a loss.

Before their conversation, Wu Chang had considered various possible developments, whether Moritz would be furious, sullen, reluctant, reject on the spot, or directly contact Schultz, all within his expectations.

But he had not anticipated Moritz’s level of cooperation at all.

Moritz was a business partner of Schultz, with a close relationship. To be friends with Schultz, his intelligence definitely had to be top-notch. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Even if Moritz didn’t know the Disqualified Monster was made by Hymn Company, he could sense he had something to do with it. Even under the coercion of Hymn Company, being forced to buy the automatic defense system, he shouldn’t be so proactive.

Both his behavior after being attacked by the Disqualified Monster and Moritz’s initiative made him feel quite odd, but he couldn’t simply ask.

He couldn’t just say: You know I unleashed a Disqualified Monster that tore up your house, and it almost ate your whole family—how come you’re not angry and even willingly giving me money? Could it be that your masochistic attributes have exploded?

However, since things have come to this, he couldn’t possibly refuse money that Moritz was willing to give him.

In any case, he should boost his performance first and find a chance later to ask Schultz if his opportunistic brother-in-law knows something.

Wu Chang turned and looked at Raymond. After a brief chat, Raymond asked the driver to ready the car, preparing to return to the Hymn Company with Wu Chang to sign the contract.

Wu Chang glanced at the time, 4:30 in the morning.

This is the efficiency of Hymn Company’s operations.

Before leaving, Wu Chang, worried that he might have caused too much commotion, checked the Attribute Panel.

Seeing it, he almost couldn’t contain himself and burst out laughing.

Orens Manor was under assault, causing such a disturbance, yet the Peace Value in Wilder City didn’t decrease but instead rose, from 51 to 57.

Seems like attacking a wealthy district feels like serving the public good or something.

If during the execution of the plan the Peace Value drops below 30, before the finalization, eliminating the homeowners here might actually bring the Peace Value back up.
