American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 248 Because He Is Kind
Nancy, who couldn't sleep next door, was both envious and speechless; she simply didn't have Ashley's courage.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have arrived earlier than Ashley, yet her progress wouldn't have been slower, leaving her only able to listen to others and do some manual labor.

"The sound seems to have stopped. Is it over?"

Nancy felt a little itchy inside, because she was just a little short of being able to unleash her power when the battle ended.

[Ding! You have obtained Ashley Parker's Conquest Chest! Open it?]

On the other side, Roy was also speechless. Ashley had just piqued his interest, and Roy was just about to show off his skills when Ashley started sticking out her tongue with love in her eyes.

It seems that Ashley was too excited by the S.H.I.E.L.D. Civil War game, and since it was her first time on the battlefield, she was quickly defeated.

How can this be good?

How can anyone sleep with Buzhou Mountain just standing there like that?

Feeling a bit agitated, Roy remembered there was another girl next door, so he put on Ashley's body and went into Nancy's room.

“Nancy, I…”

"I'm willing! Even if it's just a one-night stand!"

Before Roy could finish speaking, Nancy eagerly agreed.

Clearly, Nancy had been waiting for this question for a long time; in some ways, she was even more conservative than Nidi.

Upon hearing this, Roy immediately put Ashley, which he was wearing, aside and began a new round of fighting.

Nancy was completely different from Ashley. This girl was very shy throughout, and didn't dare to look at Roy's face, constantly suppressing her voice and feelings, just like she usually was.
She really is consistent inside and out.

This is completely different from Nidi. Nidi is actually quite the opposite; she's just timid offline, speaking and acting hesitantly.

However, on the internet, Nidi really dares to say and do anything.

So, in that first blood battle in New York, Nydia was initially shy, but later she loosened up and even wanted to arm wrestle with Roy.

The result was predictable: she cried and begged Roy to let her go.

Nancy's appearance, however, aroused Roy's mischievousness; he really wanted to see the innocent Nancy reveal another side of herself.

This is something many men like to do: drag innocent women into prostitution and persuade prostitutes to reform themselves.

Roy was actually being kind; he just wanted to show Nancy a different side of herself.

However, Nancy remained stubborn, and even as she crossed the finish line, she only rolled her eyes and mumbled some indistinct words, never truly letting go.

It seems Roy still has a lot of work to do!
[Ding! You have obtained Nancy Thompson's Conquest Chest! Open it?]

With Nancy's help, Roy finally achieved his KPI.

At this point, Roy realized that, including Nancy's Conquest Chest, he had accumulated six unopened chests, and it was time to open them and take a look.

Roy rubbed the two golden cats lying beside him and began to open the treasure chest.

[Opening Alan's Conquest Chest...]

【Gain 1 spiritual attribute point! 】

【Gain 2 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

[Obtained the special item, Blood of the Ghost Wolf!]

Huh? I got something from the very first treasure chest? Roy found it hard to believe.

[Ghost Wolf Blood: The blood of a vampire and a werewolf, capable of transforming a human into a ghost wolf under certain conditions.]

Roy knew about the Ghost Wolf; it came from the movie "Underworld".

In this movie, vampires and werewolves originate from the same ancestor, and their genes can complement each other, thus creating a more advanced form of ghost wolf.

Ghost Wolves don't have the weaknesses of vampires or werewolves, and they are extremely powerful in combat. Most importantly, their Ghost Wolf form comes with beautiful blue contact lenses.

(This is the colored contact lens)
Roy took out the Blood of the Ghost Wolf from his inventory. The blood had a faint, eerie blue glow and was very beautiful.

What a good thing!

Just when Roy was wondering what special bloodline to fuse with Heather and Penny, this is exactly what happened.

Roy even considered trying to fuse with the blood of the Ghost Wolf to see if it would further enhance his strength.

However, Roy was also a little puzzled as to why he would take out the Blood of the Ghost Wolf from Underworld from Alan's treasure chest.
Did Maria's otherworldly counterpart appear in Underworld?

With his 47-point memory attribute starting to take effect, Roy actually remembered an actress in Underworld 4 who looked very much like Maria—Eve, the daughter of the female lead, Serena.

Wow! Now that Roy has won over Amy and Maria, this mother and daughter from another world, isn't that just a disguised form of a rice bowl?
No way! Roy felt he absolutely had to introduce Amy and Maria to each other!
There was no other meaning behind it; it was simply to make poor Amy and Maria feel the warmth of home.

Both of them were pitiful. Amy suffered a miscarriage and her husband died, while Maria, under Alan's control, killed her own father, and her mother later committed suicide.

Roy is so kind!
[Opening Sartana Rivera's Conquest Chest...]

[Gain 1 agility attribute point! ]

【Gain 1 Constitution attribute point! 】

Unfortunately, the second treasure chest didn't contain anything. Saltana's otherworldly counterpart played the Invisible Woman in Wonder Woman, and Roy really wanted the Invisible Woman's energy release ability.

We can only keep trying with Saltana and hope to get her from the next treasure chest.

Here it comes, the main event is about to begin!

[Opening Jason Voorhees's Chest of Destiny...]

【Gain 3 Strength Attribute Points! 】

【Gain 4 Constitution attribute point! 】

[Obtain the special item Jason's Hockey Mask!]

That's great! Not only did I gain a whopping 7 attribute points, but I also obtained a special item!
[Jason's Hockey Mask: The classic mask of Jason, the slayer of a hundred men. Wearing it will prevent you from speaking, but it will also grant you superhuman physical resistance and the ability to stealthily move in the dark.]

Jason's incredible physical resistance likely refers to his terrifying superhuman physique.

I felt this deeply last night when Roy fought Jason. Your attacks simply can't interrupt his actions. Only using Holy Light energy and Chaos energy can produce an effect.

As for stealth in the dark, it probably refers to Jason's ability to teleport in the dark.

Roy initially thought Jason could jump from one shadow to another, but now it seems it wasn't teleportation, but rather some kind of stealth ability.

As expected of a timeless super-serial killer, his merchandise is truly top-notch!

[Opening the Treasure Chest of Destiny for the Seed of Silence...]

【Gain 2 Constitution attribute point! 】

【Gain 2 spiritual attribute point! 】

[Obtained the special item Seed of Silence!]

While getting special items consecutively is a good thing, what's with getting a Seed of Silence from a Seed of Silence chest? [Seed of Silence: Genetic material from some extraterrestrial creature, seemingly containing incredible power. Handle this item with care and do not consume it!]

Roy took the Seed of Silence from his inventory.

This is a purple solid, about the size of a duck egg, and its shape looks a lot like a pebble. If you threw it on the lake, you might not be able to recognize it.

Only the occasional red glow that appears on the surface can reveal the extraordinary nature of this Seed of Silence.

How exactly do you use this thing?
Roy had seen some rather vague system descriptions before, such as the Grim Reaper's Gaze, but the description of the Seed of Silence seemed a bit special.

It feels like the system is talking back to me; the Seed of Silence is probably meant to be eaten.

However, after eating it, one's body may mutate like Jason's.

Looking at the Seed of Silence, Roy suddenly had a guess: since the Seed of Silence was the genetic material of some extraterrestrial creature, there must be a parent organism on Earth.

Could it be that the thing at the bottom of Crystal Lake is the mother of the Seed of Silence?

Roy felt that this possibility was quite high!
We still don't have enough information, so these guesses can only stay at this point. Let's keep opening treasure chests!
[Opening Ashley Parker's Conquest Chest...]

[Gain 1 agility attribute point! ]

【Gain 1 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

[Obtain the special item, Leech Serum Recipe!]

Roy could hardly believe his hands when he opened the third box in a row and got a special item!
Roy knew about the leech serum; it was the serum that Black Widow was injected with, a weakened version of the super soldier serum.

The improvement in physical stats isn't as dramatic as the Super Soldier Serum, but it also doesn't amplify the side effects of personal emotions.

More importantly, leech serum can extend a person's lifespan!
Black Widow remains beautiful even in her seventies and eighties thanks to this leech serum.

Even if the leech serum has limited effect on Roy, it would be good to use it on the women around him.

The only problem is that the treasure chests only give out recipes, and how to turn those recipes into serum is another issue.

Roy took out the leech serum formula, and felt dizzy just looking at the series of chemical names on it. This kind of professional thing should be done by professionals.

The problem is that Roy doesn't know any experts in chemistry, and even Nydy has no expertise in the field.

Nidi is better at some electromechanical related majors.

It seems I can only keep this recipe for now and slowly find a reliable collaborator later.

There's only one treasure chest left. I wonder if I'll get anything good from it?

Roy started rubbing his hands together like flies.

[Opening Nancy Thompson's Conquest Chest...]

[Gain 1 agility attribute point! ]

【Gain 2 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

Unfortunately, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Whether he could get something good depended on the special person. Nancy, the actress, had too few acting roles, so he didn't get what Roy had in mind.

Well, today's haul is pretty good; four special items came out of six treasure chests!
So Roy stopped worrying about it and hugged Ashley and Nancy as they drifted off to sleep.

Roy was woken up by Jennifer after he had been asleep for an unknown amount of time.

"Roy, get up! FEA is here!"

Ashley and Nancy were also awakened, and the two girls reacted differently.

Nancy was so embarrassed that she burrowed into the covers like an ostrich.

Ashley, on the other hand, sat up confidently, showcasing her substantial assets.

This girl is indeed quite advantageous among the women around Roy, second only to Elizabeth, Dalia, and Heather.

Even Penny and the enhanced Jennifer are slightly inferior; this talent is indeed formidable.

Jennifer looked at Ashley speechlessly, wondering what the other was so proud of. She and Roy had unlocked more than a dozen positions, and she had never been proud of it.

Roy, oblivious to the silent exchange between the two girls, yawned and looked out the window, noticing that the sun was already beginning to set.

"Jennifer, what time is it?"

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

So you mean I slept for almost 10 hours? Has that much time already passed?
Roy felt something was strange; if it were the FEA in New Orleans, it couldn't have dragged on for this long!

Where is Ms. Elizabeth?

"She's dealing with those FEA agents."

After understanding the situation, Roy got up and started getting dressed, making Jennifer and Ashley blush. No woman could resist such top-notch male beauty.

When Roy arrived at the resort office after getting dressed, he was surprised to see Gerald Orin.

"Mr. Olin, what brings you here?"

Gerald is clearly the director of the Los Angeles FEA bureau, so why is he in Louisiana, thousands of miles away?

"This matter is a bit complicated. Let me introduce this person to you first. He is Agent Anderson, from New York."

From New York, so that means from FEA headquarters?
Roy looked at Agent Anderson, whom Gerald had mentioned. He was an ordinary-looking, bald, middle-aged man with a very kind smile on his face. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged office worker, but the shrewd glint in his eyes revealed that he was no ordinary person.

"Hello, Mr. Blake!"

Anderson extended his hand to Roy, and Roy did not refuse.

"Hello, Agent Anderson."

"Mr. Black, I've heard you have a lot of collaboration with the FEA, that's excellent!"

Although Anderson still wore that kind smile, his tone of voice made Roy very uncomfortable, carrying a condescending bureaucratic air.

Roy frowned slightly. What did that mean?
Upon noticing the change in Roy's expression, Gerald sensed something was wrong and quickly intervened to speak between the two.

"Mr. Blake, I have something to tell you!"

After pulling Roy aside, Gerald explained the truth of the matter.

It turned out that after Roy called Gerald in the morning, he immediately reported the matter to headquarters.

Headquarters felt that the failure to discover the Crystal Lake base in New Orleans likely meant it had been infiltrated by the cabin crew, so they tasked Gerald's Los Angeles office with a joint interstate operation with FEA headquarters, which explains their late arrival.

“Mr. Black, that guy is a special envoy sent by headquarters. He might have a bit of a bureaucratic air about him, so please don’t mind!”

This person clearly rose through the ranks from an office job; anyone who had done a few field assignments wouldn't be in this state.

Roy hated this kind of guy the most and waved his hand, not wanting to deal with Anderson.

“Gerald, I’m working with Saltana and you, not with the FEA, do you understand what I mean?”
