Ring of Fate

Chapter 943 Loan Repayment
Lumian and Janna also deeply understood Franca's feelings.

They had encountered "fairies" in real life, that is, extraordinary people of a higher sequence than the "painter" path, but they had never expected that a mere photo sent through the information network would have such frightening mysteries.

"Yes." Janna nodded. "We need to think more about what extraordinary people from different paths can do in the Dream City that cannot be done in reality, and make plans in advance."

Although the Dream City suppressed all extraordinary abilities to the Sequence 7 level, its own characteristics and the details of its social operation brought some possibilities beyond original imagination.

Of course, Lumian and others had already preliminarily discussed which extraordinary abilities of the "Witch" and "Hunter" paths could produce wonderful reactions with the Dream City, but they had not yet delved into the changes that might occur in other paths as a result.

Their current conclusions are:

As the "Hunter" and "Witch" paths representing disasters, the positive uses of the dream city include "relying on the environment where mirror objects exist everywhere, setting up mirror mazes anytime and anywhere, and casting different mirror magic", and "using the screen as a medium to enter other dimensions such as the surveillance world that was previously unreachable or never appeared."

There are more negative uses, as Franka said, which are all violations of the criminal law and must be sentenced severely, such as "relying on the Internet to seduce others and spread joy", "using the method of detonating natural gas to increase the destructive power of 'arsonists'", "using the environment with numerous buildings and dense populations to spread diseases better and faster", etc.

There are countless other more detailed and daily uses.

After discussing the matter for a while, Lumian said to Janna:

"After that, Franca lived here for a while. She could observe Roshan during the day and interact with her as a colleague."

"Joined Intis Group?" Janna had expected this, and looked at Franka and asked happily.

Franka smiled calmly and said:

"of course."

She recounted in detail how she prepared the plan and how she changed it when she saw Miss Huang also participating in the interview.

"When will you officially start work?" Janna asked with concern.

Franka said with a hint of pride:

"I've been given three days to take care of the chores. Lumian has to report in tomorrow."

Ms. "Justice" gave Franka the identity of a 3-year-old white-collar worker who had been working for 25 years. She changed her career path after graduation and no longer worked in her original profession.

Previously, Franka was worried that there might be problems with the work experience on her resume and that it was fabricated. Later, she pretended to be a background investigator for a company and called the company. She actually found out about the person named Luo Fu and received an evaluation that was quite close to her own.

This made her suspect that the company might have a hidden relationship with the dream identities of the Major Arcana cards such as Ms. Justice, or that Ms. Justice used her ability to weave dreams to pre-bury some identities that could be used before being kicked out, and after the people who got the five lucky gold coins were confirmed, she used some method to change the name, image and other information in a more difficult and time-consuming way.

"Is there anything you need to prepare?" Janna asked this question actually because she wanted to know if there was anything she could do to help.

Franka's expression suddenly fell:
"I need to buy a dress, stockings, and high heels..."

It had been a long time since she drank the "witch" potion, and at most she had worn culottes, never actually trying on a skirt, let alone another one.

"Dress code." Lumian explained helpfully.

Janna could understand Franca's awkwardness, and said with a slight movement of her eyes:

"Have you forgotten 'acting', all the acting you did before?

"This is also a kind of role-playing, but the purpose is not to digest the magic potion, but to get closer to Mr. Fool's dream image and secretly deal with the subordinates of the Heavenly Lord and the followers of the evil gods lurking around him to thwart their plots.

"Remember, you're just acting."

Franka had actually already made the decision, and now she was mainly trying to find more reasons for herself, so she was easily "instigated" by Janna, and her expression eased.

Jane looked at her face, smiled slightly and said:

"In this way, whatever clothes you wear, I will wear the same clothes, and we will all be the same, so there will be no embarrassment or shame."

Franka's eyes lit up:
"Okay!"

Since we have decided to tolerate overly feminine clothing, it would be nice to have some extra eye-candy.

Lumian did not interrupt and let Franca and Janna talk, fearing that if he got involved, he would have to promise to do something similar.

He glanced at the time on his phone and said to the two "witches":

"Although we didn't confront Luo Shan's self-portrait sketch face to face, the fact that she could delete such a photo itself is suspicious. If Luo Shan realizes that the photo is gone, she will most likely make some more attempts, or even take more radical actions. You have to be careful."

"Yeah, that's what I just thought of." Franca and Janna responded almost in unison.

Lumian waved his hand and turned to leave.

After he left, Franka sat down on the sofa and smiled at Janna in a relaxed manner:
"We're going to buy clothes tomorrow. We have money now. We've cashed in our lottery winnings!"

Jenna visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

She weighed her suggestions:
“Should we pay off those small loans in advance?”

She had seen many people who borrowed money at high interest rates in the Botanical Garden and Honest Man Market area end up in ruin, and even took their families and most important relatives with them. Therefore, after entering the Dream City, she was always trembling with fear about taking out micro loans.

"I still want to save money to rent those good things from the Star Dream Grocery Store..." Franca hesitated for two seconds and said, "Okay, I'll pay off the loan first. This should increase my credit limit. Later, when we reach a critical juncture and need to go all in, it may come in handy."

Before she traveled through time, she had seen many cases where people's lives were ruined by borrowing small loans.

However, she was still an experienced Beyonder. After she knew that she could rent the magic mirror Arrodes by paying money, she realized that in the dream city, money should also be a symbol, representing precious resources. The "offensive and defensive battle" that took place during the subsequent prize redemption process made her initially confirm this speculation.

From this perspective, it is indeed a risky behavior to keep owing small loans. It can be used for emergency purposes in the short term, but it is not a wise choice to delay repayment for a long time, or even rely on them to make a living.

Janna also sat on the sofa, urging Franca to pay off the online loan on the spot, and transferred a sum of money to each of her teammates for loan repayment.

"There are only a little over 120,000 left..." Franka sighed.

Jenna changed the subject, and the two chatted about their experiences during this period and shared their feelings in daily life.

At the end, Janna couldn't help but say:
"What should we do next to wake up Mr. Fool?"

They had discussed this issue many times before, but still had no preliminary ideas. They could only observe and contact first, and then look for clues and inspiration.

Franka shook her head and said, "Ah":
"I don't know. The big names have tried all the possible methods, such as reminding people in person of the existence of supernatural powers, and making a movie to show the complete experience of the incarnation in the hope of stimulating the recovery of memory. They have tried all of them, but none of them worked, and they were soon kicked out of the dream..."

She didn't know it before, but now she knows that the movie was "The Great Pirates 3".

"It seems that the big names have never tried to tell Zhou Mingrui the truth directly..." Jane said recalling.

"It's not certain whether it will work, but it's certain that he will be kicked out of the dream quickly." Franca laughed at herself. "However, if he still has enough time to enter the dream, we can isolate a person and let him give it a try."

Late at night, the two "witches" washed up and went to bed, each occupying a pillow.

They had already discussed how to deal with Luo Shan's possible attempts next, so they didn't say much at this time. After looking at each other, they tacitly pulled up their quilts and closed their eyes in the coolness brought by the air conditioner.

——The way they make ice to keep cool makes it too easy for potential snoopers to see that they have extraordinary abilities.

…………

Janna went out in the astral body again and saw a large number of spirits wandering around, blurry and illusory buildings, solidified storms, and translucent barriers.

She did not immediately check on Luo Shan's condition, but kept her eyes dull and blank, floating, walking, and moving back and forth naturally following the guidance of the spirit.

During this process, she saw Franka, who was in a similar state.

Finally, Janna's body turned towards the translucent barrier next to the deep darkness.

There was no one there.

Roxanne wasn't there to fight the monsters trying to invade!

Janna's heart trembled, but she still maintained her previous state and continued to wander her star spirit body.

After a while, her eyes naturally moved up and saw Luo Shan.

Luo Shan was wearing a light yellow skirt and pants, floating high in the air, looking at her and Franca quietly with deep eyes, and no one knew how long she had been looking at them.

Jenna's spirit tensed up instantly, but thanks to her acting skills, she didn't show anything unusual, and Franca was just as natural.

After staring for a long time, Luo Shan flew to the side where the strange creatures were trying to invade. She blocked the enemy's attack through the translucent barrier and repelled them again and again.

Franka and Janna did not relax. Like the extras playing the background, they dutifully repeated simple movements and irregular behaviors.

Suddenly, both of them had a premonition of danger at the same time and woke up from their sleep instantly.

They smelled a fishy and disgusting odor, and saw a pair of brown eyes staring at them in the night sky against the ceiling.

In the darkness, a pair of wings covered with brown feathers, like those of a giant owl, stretched out.
