American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 305 Greedy Cat

“Hello, this is Roy Black.”

The satellite phone suddenly rang. Roy thought it was Gerald calling, but it turned out to be someone else who surprised him.

"Roy, it really is you! I knew you'd be alright!"

Roy could hear several women cheering on the other end of the phone; he could hear Penny, Dalia, Amy, and Serena were all there.

It was Heather who called me. Could it be that Gerald contacted her?
When Gerald went to Los Angeles, he met Heather and Penny several times, so they must know each other.

"Did Mr. Olin tell you that?"

“Yes! As soon as we got back to land, Gerald called to tell us you were alright and gave us your satellite phone number—Roy, what’s that sound on your end?”

What's that sound? It's the sound of a rolling pin rolling out dough, of course!

However, Roy didn't tell the truth, since Heather and the others were genuinely worried about him, and it was better not to spoil their joyful mood.

"Uh, I'm eating!"

Heather on the other end of the phone didn't suspect anything; she knew Roy had a huge appetite, and it was normal for him to be eating.

"Heather, let me take the phone! I want to talk to Roy!"

Finally, the satellite phone returned to Heather's hands, at which point Heather seemed to remember something.

"By the way, Roy, Mr. Orin told me that they set off at four in the morning, but they couldn't get through to you on the phone at that time, so they asked us to let you know."

At four in the morning, Roy was still fishing underwater, and his satellite phone was in his inventory, so he couldn't answer Gerald's call.

"I understand! Heather, I still want to eat something. Let's stop here for today. I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

"Roy, we love you!" ×5
However, just because Janice was full didn't mean her cat was full, so Roy had to work harder and keep trying.

The only problem is that Janice's cat seems to be starving to death, eating very quickly.

In response, Roy could only offer kind words of advice.

"Janes, eat slowly, there's still plenty of time."

Janice was crying.

"It's not enough, there's never enough time, sob sob sob..."

Who eats and cries at the same time?
Other women cry after they've had their fill, so doesn't Janice's behavior make Roy seem like he's not very skilled?
So Roy decided to completely deprive Janice of her ability to think, so she would stop thinking about separation and the lack of time.

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

Looking at the chaotic battlefield and the soundly sleeping Janice, whose face still bore obvious tear stains.

This was truly a strange battle; it felt like eating stir-fried noodles.

Fortunately, Roy's chicken essence was of good quality, preventing Janice from developing an illness that would take ten months to recover from.

Roy patted the fluffy little gluttonous cat and prepared to open the box first.

[Opening Francesca's Conquest Chest...]

【Gain 1 spiritual attribute point! 】

【Gain 1 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

Unsurprisingly, Francesca's treasure chest didn't yield anything of value.

Although the Italian woman was very beautiful and had a very hot figure, Roy didn't remember her much, which suggests that the actress who played her was probably not very famous.

If such a beautiful woman had made a few more commercial films, Roy wouldn't have had such a poor impression of her.

They either get married and retire early, or they become artistic types.

Let's check out other treasure chests instead.

[Opening Antonia Graza's Chest of Destiny...]

【Gain 3 spiritual attribute point! 】

【Gain 2 Willpower Attribute Point! 】

Didn't get anything out of the opening?
Roy began to wonder if he was having a bad day.

Is it that Janice's Little Glutton is of poor quality, or are these treasure chests bad?

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Roy called out Francesca from his revolver.

The cursed daggers are still in Heather's hands, so Roy only has Francesca, the female ghost, by his side now.

When Francesca came out, the first thing she saw was Janice sleeping unconscious on the bed. As a mature female ghost, she certainly knew why she had come out.

So Francesca lifted her hair and prepared to squat down.

"Wait a minute, let me pet the kitten first!"

Francesca gave Roy a coquettish glare, but still removed her armor so Roy could wash his hands with the kitten.

After washing his hands, Roy accepted Francesca's hair-washing service and continued opening treasure chests.

[Opening the Starry Chest of Destiny...]

【Gain 3 memory attribute point! 】

【Gain 3 spiritual attribute point! 】

[Obtained Starry Rainbow Sprout!]

Finally shipped!
But what does it mean to get Starry Sky from the Starry Sky Chest?
[Starry Rainbow Embryo: The Starry Rainbow is an incomplete matter life form from the universe, capable of influencing the ecological environment and all life within it through a special energy. Fortunately, this is only a Starry Rainbow embryo, not yet mature.]

It turns out to be an immature Star of Color, which sounds like a plant.

Roy took out the Starry Sprout from his inventory. It was a transparent, hollow sphere with some colorful substances flowing inside, looking more like a marble than a sprout.

But what's the use of this stuff? It seems like it can only be used to pollute the environment.

Roy isn't as immoral as Xiao Rizi, who likes to pollute everywhere.

It seems I can only put away the Starry Sky embryos for now, and hopefully I'll find a way to use them later.

Francesca looked up at Roy's behavior in surprise, asking indistinctly.

"Roy, what's that? It looks so pretty!"

“This is a seed from space. Francesca, don’t talk, continue!”

Upon hearing this, Francesca began to focus intently on her work.

Roy has given up hope of opening any more chests today; the last one belongs to Janice. Kelly Brook has only played roles in some low-budget films, so she definitely won't get anything good from it.

[Opening Janice's Conquest Chest...]

【Gain 1 Strength Attribute Points! 】

[Gain 1 agility attribute point! ]

Sure enough, it was just the guaranteed 2 attribute points. Roy helplessly closed the system panel and vented all his frustration at not getting anything good from the box on Francesca.

Francesca did everything she could to serve Roy. It has to be said that this woman's standards in this regard were even lower than those of the women around Roy. She could be said to be on the same level as Lilith.

However, Lilith is currently using Jennifer's body, so sometimes she still needs to consider Jennifer's feelings.

Unlike Francesca, this female ghost, after falling in love with Roy, was willing to do anything.

Characters like Sadako and Kayako needed Roy to actively guide them, but Francesca didn't need that; basically, she started just from a glance from Roy.

After releasing the negative energy in his body, Roy lay down on the bed to rest.

For the next few days, Janice never left Roy's room. She basically ate and slept, and Roy would bring her back food from outside the room for her main meals.

It's really not easy to feed two mouths at the same time!

Perhaps they felt they wouldn't have the chance again, so they wanted to eat their fill.

Well, as long as we don't leave Roy's room, this isn't over yet.

Janice did not leave Roy's room until Gerald arrived at this area of ​​the sea.

By this time, Roy had already unlocked all of Janice's positions, and all the necessary routes had been cleared. Roy had even been to places that Jack hadn't been to.

Anyway, Roy felt a little embarrassed when he saw Jack, as if the other person had turned into a green color from head to toe.

However, Jack had no complaints about Roy, because Gerald had come to find Roy with an entire carrier strike group.

The scale of this event was truly impressive; even Roy hadn't expected Gerald to do such a thing.

"Let me introduce you. This is Vice Admiral Fran Hammer, the commander of the carrier strike group, who will cooperate with FEA to complete this mission."

Gerald introduced Roy with an official expression, as if he didn't know Roy at all.

However, such official occasions are indeed not suitable for expressing too much personal opinion.

Fran Hammer was a very tough-looking soldier, around fifty years old, and looked very stern.

"To be precise, it's about protecting FEA so they can complete this mission, Your Excellency Orin!"

Gerald's face showed a helpless expression; it seemed that this Lieutenant General Hammer was not easy to talk to.

"Hello, General Hammer."

Roy shook hands with Fran Hammer, who gripped Roy's hand so tightly it felt less like a handshake and more like squeezing a ball.

What does it mean?
An old man, who is already middle-aged, wanted to pinch his hand, which has a physical attribute of nearly 90, until it hurt?
Roy watched with a smile as Hammer strained, the veins in his neck bulging, but to no avail.

At this moment, Gerald also noticed that Hammer's condition was not right, so he asked him in a low voice.

"General Hammer?"

Hammer suddenly let go, revealing a stiff smile.

"Haha! No wonder you are the heavyweight boxing champion of this year's Sydney Olympics! When you first told me your name, I thought it was just someone with the same name."

Roy's lips twitched, and he really wanted to say to Hammer, "Kid, this isn't funny."

Then, Hammer's smile faded as he looked at Roy.

"Mr. Black, what is the current status of the drilling platform?"

Roy briefly described what had happened the night before to Gerald and Hammer, and the two men immediately frowned.

"An energy-based being from outer space? Lord Blake, can you tell me how you dealt with it?"

Hammer stared intently at Roy.

Roy glanced at Gerald, then answered Hammer.

"General Hammer, this is my personal privacy."

"When it comes to national security, there is no such thing as personal privacy!"

General Hammer, however, refused to back down, determined to get to the bottom of things.

Roy frowned.

What exactly does this old man mean? Why is he starting to cause me trouble from the very beginning?
Roy wasn't exactly known for his good temper, and immediately glared back.

"General Hammer, are you doubting me?"

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Gerald quickly stepped in to mediate.

“General Hammer, Mr. Black is a member of the FEA. Even if there is to be an investigation, it should be an internal FEA investigation.”

Gerald implied that Hammer was overstepping his bounds, a behavior that would be disliked anywhere.

The main reason is that Gerald's status is not as high as Hammer's, after all, Hammer actually came with an aircraft carrier strike group.

FEA, on the other hand, only brought FEAR members from California, not all of them.

However, the military has always been rather domineering. After being subtly criticized by Gerald, they did not apologize, but simply snorted and left.

"Mr. Olin, what's going on?"

Roy looked at Gerald with displeasure.

This black man's forehead is getting shinier and shinier, and he's starting to look more and more like a certain black bald head. Roy wondered if he should have Gerald try wearing a black eye patch one of these days.

Gerald sighed.

"It's a bit complicated. After I reported the offshore drilling platform issue to headquarters, headquarters then reported it to the White House. Then, the Pentagon found out. The Pentagon lobbied the president to participate in the operation, and you see what happened."

Okay, everyone in the world knows that the White House is a sieve.

After all, a president only serves for four years, eight at most, while some civil servants serve for life.

In this situation, it goes without saying what choices some people will make.

"What a nuisance! Mr. Orin, in that case, you might as well send me away as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Gerald gave a wry smile.

Keep showing Janice
