American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 367 Super Genius Girl

"Dude, that was awesome! That kid was so scared he peed his pants, what a loser!"

Several minutes after leaving the Phoenix Club, Shawdy was still talking about what had just happened, giving the impression that he, not Roy, was the one who had lectured the young man.

"Alright, Shawn, we're already on Ouroboros' territory, let's stop talking!"

Xiao Di then shut up.

Roy felt that although Shawdy, this black man, had many of the typical black flaws, he was generally quite obedient.

The Ouroboros Club was much more low-key than the Phoenix Club. Although it didn't set up a platform to recruit new members, at least the club doors were open and there were people inside.

"who are you?"

“My name is Roy Black, and this is Shawdy Meeks. We’re here to check on the Ouroboros.”

Roy introduced himself as soon as he arrived, without mentioning that he wanted to join the Ouroboros. However, the Ouroboros managers present knew exactly what the newcomers were doing at the club at this time.

"You want to join the Ouroboros, right? Hello, my name is Harry Dyson, and I'm the rotating manager of this club!"

The club's manager was also a young man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who had a kind of refined scoundrel vibe.

However, at least this guy's attitude was relatively normal, unlike the arrogant ones from the Phoenix Society.

Harry Dyson looked Roy up and down. The reason he was so nice to Roy was mainly because Roy was outstanding in both appearance and demeanor.

There's no need to say more about Xiao Di; he's obviously a brainless idiot.

As Harry looked at him more and more, the face seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Blake, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before!"

Before Roy could speak, Shawdy spoke up first.

"Then you must have seen my buddy on TV. He's the heavyweight boxing champion at the Sydney Olympics!"

Harry looked amazed.

"Wow! It's an Olympic champion! Brandy, come out here! Your idol is here!"

Harry called upstairs, and a shirtless young man, holding a dumbbell and covered in sweat, came down.

This young man was all muscle, and visually he looked even more muscular than Roy. He must be the kind of college student who likes to work out and build muscle.

"What idol? Who's here?"

"That boxer you always talk about, Roy Black!"

Brandy recognized Roy immediately upon seeing his face, but he did not acknowledge Harry's statement.

"What do you mean by 'always talking about it'? I'm just curious how he developed his strength. His muscles aren't as developed as mine, but the power of his punches is terrifying!"

Brandy muttered something, but still very proactively found a notebook and pen, wanting Roy to sign it.

Then Roy signed autographs for both Brandy and Harry.

After getting the autograph, Harry excitedly began to tell Roy about the history of the Ouroboros.

"The Ouroboros Brotherhood is a very young fraternity, founded only twenty years ago. UCLA is the birthplace of the Ouroboros, and its branches have now expanded throughout California, with considerable influence in Oregon and Arizona as well! Mr. Blake, joining the Ouroboros is absolutely the best decision you'll ever make!"

Roy felt that if Harry Dyson were to go into sales, he would definitely be a top salesman; he was just too good at talking.

However, Roy won't make a decision so quickly, since he's already said that it's not the Brotherhood choosing him now, but him choosing the Brotherhood.

"Does joining the Ouroboros require any letters of recommendation?"

"Recommendation letter? What recommendation letter? Oh, you mean the recommendation letter from those idiots in the Phoenix Society, right?"

Harry's face showed a disdainful expression, and he made no attempt to hide his contemptuous look.

"Mr. Black, you may not know this, but although I hate to admit it, the Phoenix Brotherhood is indeed the oldest fraternity on the West Coast. Those older than it are basically the old relics on the East Coast. Because of its long history, the Phoenix Brotherhood's idiots are very picky about applicants; you have to have a letter of recommendation to apply."

Those old money types love to play this trick; they probably think they're some kind of Victorian aristocracy!

Upon hearing this, Brandy burst into laughter.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Every time I think of those arrogant guys from the Phoenix Society, I want to ask them if their necks hurt!"

Brandy's sense of humor seems a bit strange, but what he said is true; the manager of the Phoenix Club just now also seemed to be using his nostrils as eyes.

So Xiao Di couldn't help but chime in.

"That idiot from the Phoenix Society looked down on us, and then Roy grabbed him. Guess what happened? That guy was so scared he peed his pants!"

These words made Harry and Brandy's eyes light up, and Harry even whistled.

"Wow! I think the Ouroboros Society will have no shortage of jokes about the Phoenix Society this month!"

Presumably, ouroboros will help spread the word, and within three days, the Phoenix Society's jokes will be known throughout the entire school.

However, when Roy heard Harry mention the word "old money," he immediately thought of something else.

"You just mentioned Old Money. Is the Ouroboros mainly composed of New Money?"

Harry nodded.

"Yes, the reason why the Ouroboros Society was able to grow so rapidly is because it had the support of Silicon Valley's internet upstarts. These people are all genuine new money and they don't really like the old money's ways. So the Ouroboros Society's recruitment criteria are not based on referrals, but on individual ability!"

The conflict between new money and old money has intensified in the last decade or so, and has spread from society to universities.

In a general sense, "old money" refers to long-established wealthy individuals who made their fortunes in traditional industries such as energy, manufacturing, and transportation. Charles Wieland, whom Roy knew before, belonged to this category.

These established tycoons are usually quite traditional, emphasizing pomp and circumstance and aristocratic style.

New money refers to the newly wealthy individuals who have rapidly emerged in the last ten or twenty years thanks to the benefits of internet technology.

Internet upstarts can often accumulate the wealth that traditional industries take generations to achieve in just a few years to a decade, which naturally makes some established tycoons unhappy.

But despite their dissatisfaction, most of the older generation of money simply don't understand the current internet industry and dare not invest their hard-earned money in this market. So they can only find ways to cause trouble for new money in order to gain some satisfaction.

The new money was made up of a group of privileged young men, who naturally wouldn't tolerate these corrupt pseudo-aristocrats, and so the conflict between the two sides gradually escalated.

Roy is ultimately part of the new money, even though he didn't make his fortune through internet technology. Sports stars are generally referred to as nouveau riche by the old money.

"I understand what you mean, so ouroboros will need to be younger and more energetic, right?"

"Of course! The Ouroboros doesn't have that many classes and rules. Everyone rises to the top based on their own abilities. There is absolutely no discrimination based on status or race!"

When the topic of racial discrimination came up, Harry glanced at Shawdy, clearly indicating that his words were meant for Shawdy.

Shawdy's eyes lit up, and he began to persuade Roy. "Roy, I think Ouroboros would be pretty good. Why don't you choose this Brotherhood?"

Roy won't be so easily persuaded.

"I also want to see what activities the Ouroboros Society has planned."

"There are many!"

Harry led Roy to the club's showroom, which was filled with photos of crazy parties.

"The Ouroboros organizes parties every Saturday night, sometimes at this club, sometimes in Beverly Hills, all provided by fraternity members. Also, two sorority sorority members frequently meet with us; they're full of stunning blonde beauties, you can do whatever you want with them!"

Sorority sororities are social organizations that are the opposite of fraternities, but the power of sorority sororities is definitely not comparable to that of fraternities. The role of many sorority sororities is to provide partners for members of top fraternities.

Therefore, the primary requirement for joining these sorority clubs is to be beautiful, and they also need to undergo regular medical checkups to prevent accidents.

Of course, joining these sorority clubs has its advantages. At least you won't have to worry about tuition fees during your university years. If you can find a promising partner, you can rise to the top and enter high society.

Therefore, these sorority sorority associations are very popular among female college students.

Therefore, being good-looking is indeed a resource, and if you are good-looking and also have high emotional intelligence, then you are more likely to succeed.

After hearing Harry's words, Shoredy could hardly contain himself any longer, and he stared longingly at Roy.

This guy actually knew that whether he could get into the Ouroboros Society depended on Roy, and it was obvious that this guy named Harry Dyson valued Roy.

“Roy, this Ouroboros Society is absolutely fantastic! We…”

Roy waved his hand, interrupting Shawdy.

"We need to go back and think about it. If we have any ideas, we'll come back to you."

"Let's exchange contact information! I may not be the club's manager then, but I can still be your guide."

Roy exchanged contact information with Harry, then pulled away the drooling Shawdy.

On the way back, Shawdy looked at Roy curiously.

"Roy, are you unhappy with that ouroboros?"

"No, I'm very satisfied!"

"Then why don't you join the Ouroboros Society?"

"If we agree on the spot, wouldn't the Ouroboros think it's too easy? Things that are easily obtained are usually not cherished. We need to let them wait a few days. Maybe they'll come up with better terms to recruit us!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Di started drooling.

"Could it be that the Ouroboros would send five Black Pearls to exploit me? The thought is terrifying!"

Roy glanced at Shawdy; this guy's got a wild imagination!
"You can think about it slowly, I'm going to report to the boxing club!"

Roy headed towards the boxing club, while Shawdy stayed behind, continuing to daydream, drooling like a waterfall.

Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory, Nidi and Ashley were walking on campus.

"Ashley, thank goodness Roy brought you to UCLA, otherwise I would have been so bored!"

Ashley and Neddy have a very good relationship now. Although it's not quite to the level of Jennifer's relationship, they are still best friends.

"What's wrong? Is Jennifer busy? I haven't seen her for the past two days."

“Jennifer is applying to join the sorority and has been researching sorority information lately.”

Nidi's expression was somewhat helpless.

Not all students are interested in fraternities and sororities, such as Needy and Ashley.

Nidi is socially awkward and doesn't want to participate in social activities, preferring to stay in her dorm playing video games.

Ashley also wasn't very interested in socializing because she came from a poor country family and Roy helped her get into college; she was afraid of losing face by attending sorority parties.

“Jennifer wants to help Roy, so it’s normal for her to be a little busy.”

"Of course I understand, it's just that sometimes a person is more... sigh!"

Jennifer's purpose in entering business school was very clear, and Nydy could understand Jennifer's mindset.

The problem is that, having traveled all the way from her hometown to Los Angeles, with Roy often away and Jennifer also absent, Nydy feels very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Ashley filled that void.

Ashley has no ambitions and just wants to live a good life with Roy, so she's pretty relaxed about her studies and naturally has a lot of time to spend with Nidi.

"Nidi, don't think too much about it! Once this busy period is over, everyone should have some free time."

"Yes! We've arrived!"

Upon arriving at UCLA's mailroom, Nidi began searching for her emails, with Ashley helping her along.

Nidi set up a server in her dorm room, but because the school's internet speed was quite fast, she thought the server could be upgraded, so she ordered a lot of new parts by mail.

These parts are not light, and even though Nidi's physical abilities are much stronger than the average person, it will still take some effort.

As Ashley flipped through the pages, she suddenly came across a thin letter.

"Nidi, here's a letter for you!"

"A letter? Let me see it!"

Nidi opened the envelope and found that it contained an invitation.

Ms. Nidi Lesnicki:

Based on your IQ test results on our website, we cordially invite you to participate in a brand new puzzle game, "Escape Room"! If you are interested in participating, please come to XX, XXX Street, Los Angeles this Sunday at 8 PM!
— Puzzle artist
"It's actually an invitation to a puzzle game!"

Nidi was somewhat surprised. She was very enthusiastic about playing various brain games and IQ tests online, so she didn't immediately know which website sent the invitation.

"That's strange, why doesn't this guy even write his real name, and instead uses a nickname like 'Puzzle Master'?"

"Some people, after surfing the internet for a long time, become obsessed with the persona they create for themselves, and even use their online names to refer to themselves and their friends in real life! This is actually a way of escaping reality. I used to do that for a while, but I went back to normal after Roy's advice!"

"Nidi, what's your online name?"

Ashley's question made Niddy a little embarrassed.

"Don't laugh when I tell you this! She's a super genius and beautiful girl."
