Chapter 814: Chapter 651: Slum Godmother?
Gabriel was resigned: "Then we won’t announce it, let’s wait for their investigation results."
However, facing the spatial technique at the Divine Craftsman Level, there were no results from the investigation.
The only solution was to first seal the mansion. The City Beauty temporarily moved to the Church headquarters. The barrier there is the result of hundreds of years of reinforcement by the priests, even a god would find it difficult to break through.
Such a handling is also good.
Next is to watch them move, transporting all the flowers, plants, books, and clothes Liya likes.
At this moment, a subordinate reported to Gabriel: "Madam, there suddenly appeared a large-scale funeral in the slum, basically, everyone in the slum showed up."
Gabriel was stunned: "Who died?"
"Seems like it’s an old lady who ran a pharmacy."
Gabriel frowned because large-scale NPC events like this aren’t usually part of daily operations; a player must have triggered some event. Why has Oak City been bustling with activities over the past two days?
The answer is Sariel would surely say 30 times more!
"I’ll go take a look!"
Gabriel quickly flew to the scene and indeed saw a ragged queue of people lined up outside the church. There were even various gang figures from the slum.
Gabriel inquired among the crowd: "Why are you all here for the funeral?"
"Sweet Potato’s grandma treated us for free for decades, this kindness must be repaid."
Gabriel was taken aback: "Who is Sweet Potato?"
The crowd pointed: "That’s the one."
Gabriel was bewildered, that Sweet Potato was just an ordinary little gang leader, under normal circumstances, other gangs wouldn’t give him this respect, so could this old lady actually be a mafia matriarch character?
Gabriel continued to inquire: "Can you tell me about the old lady’s deeds?"
But what was gathered were all small free deeds, if there was a real highlight, it was defying the rules under pressure from the big city hospital.
Then a gang member said: "Actually, Sweet Potato wasn’t good to grandma, Sweet Potato just wanted to turn the clinic into a casino. We don’t lack casinos, just want a free clinic, we folks came, also bringing some people over, it’s actually to give enough face to Sweet Potato, hoping he would continue it, if not, then it would be more competition for livings, then we’ll see."
Another gang member said: "We know the old lady’s medicine didn’t come easy, the main city also knows there’s a free clinic here, some small citizens wanted to come and take advantage, our brothers scared them back, this is the well doesn’t infringe the river, also doesn’t break the big hospital’s rule..."
So that’s how it is!
Gabriel saw in this huge funeral procession an opportunity to gather the gang and use them for his own. This Sweet Potato seems ordinary but is actually advantageous, easy to control!
Thus, Gabriel used his privileges to directly stand at the forefront of the funeral rites, personally giving Sweet Potato face.
This made Sweet Potato quite bewildered, couldn’t help but come over and ask: "Are you the Sage Lord? You also knew my grandma?"
Gabriel sighed: "Grandma’s benevolent deeds would even move the gods, what do you plan to do?"
Tears filled Sweet Potato’s eyes: "I didn’t expect so many people to honor my grandma, I’m really moved—"
Gabriel interrupted to ask: "Do you know why others are giving face?"
Sweet Potato was stunned for a moment: "Because everyone hopes this free clinic continues."
Gabriel was very satisfied with his somewhat cleverness: "Will you reopen it?"
Sweet Potato was very determined: "I will! But I don’t know medical skills, I have to hire people, but physicians from the main city might not dare to come over..."
Very well, the opportunity is here!
Gabriel actually had some NPC candidates, but willing to work in the slum seems none, and they’d be overqualified, persuading them one by one would be quite troublesome and decrease favorability. So the choice seems left to one, the intern village beauty, Miss White!
Originally arranged for her to study the Spiritual Series and participate in Nightmare War live battles, but the battle doesn’t lack her one person, first arrange for her to take the important position. As for textbooks, directly sent here for her to self-learn will do.
Gabriel was set on the plan: "Mr. Sweet Potato—"
Sweet Potato panicked: "Just call me Sweet Potato."
"I have a candidate, although she’s a foreign student, she also came from a rural village, no looking down on the slum, she has rich medical experience, you all can rest assured. As for salary, I’ll cover it."
Sweet Potato was overjoyed: "Thank you, Sage Lord, but I must give her salary!"
Gabriel laughed: "Sure, you give, I also give, double salary isn’t unfair for her. So, it’s settled then, I’ll arrange her, you send someone to the district gate to pick her up after the funeral ends."
"Absolutely!"
After negotiations finished, Gabriel rushed to the school posthaste, called out the village beauty in class, solemnly instructed: "Miss White, I have a new arrangement... although it’s the slum, it’s the key to controlling the entire slum’s gang power and you, I will find a way to elevate you to the position of godmother. As for your courses, I will make further arrangements, are you willing to go?"
Miss White listened excitedly: "I’m willing to!"
Gabriel was very pleased: "I will also always come to the slum to look after you. Alright, go back to the dorm and pack your luggage first..."
At this point, in the chat group, Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief: "Although I don’t know which Chun triggered this event, opportunity only belongs to top-level players. Thanks to this Chun for providing me the opportunity."
Sariel laughed aloud: "So, to thank Chun—"
Gabriel impatiently: "Got it, lunch 30 times, right? Arrange! Then toss them to you!"
Sariel hastily: "Can it not happen?"
Gabriel irritatedly: "You all have taken turns, it’s impossible for me to provide old age care here, right? It’s your turn now! Moreover, I keep using illegal medicine constantly, what if I’m found out? Of course, I have to quickly transfer them away, then I can’t be checked anymore."
Rachael laughed: "Has it come to the boss’s city yet?"
Michael was anxious: "How could it be! This is the Supreme City of the Empire, even ordinary nobles aren’t eligible to reside, let alone a criminal!"
Rachael laughed: "But as long as his crimes are big enough, so big that the Five Cities aren’t qualified to hold, then he can come here!"
The big shots were all uproarious: "Wow! Rachael indeed, expanding perspectives right away!"
Raphael laughed heartily: "Yeah, no players at the Golden Divine Throne, no various chaotic curries doing all sorts of things under Chun’s name."
Michael was anxious: "Rachael, what are you planning?"
Rachael laughed: "As long as he’s transported to the Golden Divine Throne, then I have a way to send him to the Divine Realm, lock him up in Divine Realm Prison, the world forever peaceful!"
The big shots were delighted: "So reasonable! Gabriel, quickly arrange some serious crimes for Chun!"
Michael urgently: "Stop messing around, the Void battle score grind is starting soon. Don’t let these small things distract me."
