Chapter 188: Are you sure? Is Sam really with you?
At the time, Alexander had his suspicions.
When he searched the clinic, he found quite a few add-ons, but there was not much in the way of ghost currency or ghost-related items.
Even if there were, they were things the clinic used for treating patients, such as surgical knives and axes.
However, the Happy Clinic was quite a lucrative business and had existed on Happy Street for many years, surely amassing a great fortune.
Initially, Alexander thought that the clinic owner might have spent it all on add-ons or converted it into ghost currency to carry around.
But on closer thought, the owner’s abilities weren’t that high. The clinic’s extravagant decor was a small proportion compared to its profits.
Who would have thought! There was actually a secret chamber beneath Happy Clinic!
In the past, Alexander had dug three feet into the ground but hadn’t found this chamber; it seems his skills were not adept enough!
Next time he encounters such a case, three feet won’t be enough! At least thirty feet... No! One hundred feet!
"We found many treasures in the chamber! The ones that could enhance our abilities, we divided among ourselves. Many of us greatly increased our power. A few of us were lucky enough to skyrocket to a ferocious level, and our lost organs were restored," Hello Kitty continued. Alexander was taken aback at hearing this.
Ferocious level? He had thought their increase to soldier-level was all due to the treasures in the chamber, but it was only to a ferocious level.
He soon realized that if the treasures were that powerful, the clinic owner wouldn’t have stayed at the ferocious level either.
This realization made Alexander feel slightly better, as if he’d just missed out on a lottery jackpot, and he queried, "But your current abilities are far beyond the ferocious level, aren’t they?"
"Thanks to this great battle!" Peter replied. "The Evil Ghost Association has invested a lot in this contest! They’ve recruited heavily on Fierce Ghost Street, but they haven’t overlooked Happy Street either."
"Their method was ghost referrals. For every ghost recruited into the Evil Ghost Association, there would be corresponding rewards. If the ghosts we recruited brought in others, we would also receive rewards once a certain number was reached. The rewards would diminish for each subsequent layer, and after five rounds, there were no rewards at all."
Speaking to this point, Peter smiled triumphantly: "Those of us who reached soldier-level were the first to join the Evil Ghost Association. We had met many ghost friends while battling Happy Clinic, and we pulled them all in, gaining lots of rewards."
This looked like Pyramid Schemes, didn’t it? And an upgraded version at that: Horror World Pyramid Schemes Plus Edition!
Alexander suddenly understood.
No wonder the numbers of the Evil Ghost Association had grown so much in just over a month, especially in the last few days, with numbers skyrocketing by millions.
The president of the association was definitely talented, not as foolish as he seemed!
"I never thought so much could happen in just a few days!" Alexander exclaimed, looking at Peter and asking, "So what do we do now? Do we still fight?"
"No fight! Of course, we don’t fight!" Peter shook his head without hesitation: "Doctor Charles is a great person! He stole the treasure that produced counterfeit organs to ruin the clinic owner’s plot for us. Anyone who opposes Doctor Charles, I’ll be the first to object!"
"Right! No fighting with Doctor Charles!"
"No fighting then, heh heh! I was thinking of asking Doctor Charles to tattoo a Peppa Pig on me. Now I have money! I recruited over a hundred people, and the rewards were nearly ten thousand ghost coins!"
"As if you’re the only one with money! I pulled over a thousand members into the Evil Ghost Association. Would I lack money? I not only want a Hello Kitty on my chest but a Donald Duck on my back!"
The noise suddenly became chaotic, indicating that the business of themed tattoos in the thrilling world was booming.
These ghosts seemed less enthusiastic about organ transplants but were extremely interested in tattoos, a novel concept imported from the real world.
Hearing the ghosts’ conversation, something clicked in Alexander’s mind. It wasn’t that he had thought of a way to make money.
With three "money printers" and the motorbike instance, Alexander could quickly earn a large number of ghost coins. What really piqued his interest were the evil ghosts before him.
In terms of strength, many of these people were soldier-level, and the lowest were nearly all ferocious ghosts, totaling a count of three thousand.
But strength was not the key; most of these ghosts had risen through rewards.
What was crucial was that, according to the evil ghost association’s recruitment pattern, the fact that these ghosts’ strength had improved so much meant something, didn’t it?
Clearly, each of them had recruited many ghosts into the evil ghost association, ranging from a few hundred to even more than ten thousand. Compared to Sam, these ghosts were the real source of Happy Street’s evil ghosts joining the evil ghost association en masse!
"Cough... um... Peter!" Alexander thoughtfully chose his words and said, "With your strength, it’s a waste to follow the evil ghost association. Why not join me instead? I’m now the honorary deputy leader of the fierce ghost association. Your strength would certainly be highly valued there."
"Go to the fierce ghost association?" Peter and Hello Kitty looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, "Doctor Charles, it’s not that we don’t trust you, but the fierce ghost association simply can’t compare with the evil ghost association in strength!
Besides, Sam is still in the evil ghost association, and there are three great ghost princes here. Why don’t you just join us instead?"
"Are you sure? Is Sam really with you?" A meaningful smile played at the corner of Alexander’s mouth as he asked.
What did this mean? Peter and Hello Kitty were slightly taken aback, both feeling surprised.
It seemed that initially, at the clinic, Sam had a great relationship with Doctor Charles, even obeying his every word. Was there something hidden that they didn’t know about?
"We’re all friends here, and there are some things I can’t say outright, but you know that I like to make friends!
The Flame King is my sworn brother! The president of the fierce ghost association is my brother too! And Louis from the Dark Hell, he’s my big brother, understand?" Alexander said as he climbed down from Full Moon.
Across from him, all the evil ghosts were stunned. The Flame King was Doctor Charles’s sworn brother? The fierce ghost association’s president was his brother?
Even more shocking was that Louis, who had initiated this instance, was his big brother? What was the point of this battle for supremacy then? It was all rigged!
How could this be? Was Doctor Charles deceiving them all?
The members of the evil ghost association were in disbelief when, unexpectedly, a red card fell from Alexander’s pocket as he was coming down from Full Moon.
"Brother!" Full Moon’s figure appeared, wisely picking up the red card from the ground, and handed it to Alexander, saying, "Your invitation has fallen!"
"Full Moon, you’re so good! I’ll reward you with some delicious food later!" Alexander took the invitation from Full Moon, affectionately rubbed her nose, and said with feigned distress,
"I’ve been so careless! If Louis finds out, he’ll certainly scold me for being careless!"
