Emery simply smiled and said nothing.
The people in this world are not afraid of undead creatures; some daring children even dare to take magical artifacts and actively seek out ghosts.
Therefore, the amusement park called "Haunted House" is similar in its business concept to a haunted house, but it is completely different from a haunted house.
According to the brochure, the scenes inside are more of the Cthulhu horror style, with many hideous and frightening monster phantoms, indescribable monster phantoms, and some areas similar to the rules of ghost stories, with the rules of ghost stories being guaranteed by magical effects.
Overall, it looks quite interesting.
After deciding on their destination, Emery had Melson Manor arrange for a butler to drive them in a magical hovercar, and the group arrived at the newly opened "Haunted House" amusement park.
Somewhat coincidentally, they bumped into Judy, who was on vacation, outside the amusement park. Emery took the opportunity to invite her to play together, and Judy joined in after a few polite words.
After buying tickets through the VIP channel and entering the amusement park directly without queuing, the staff first gave them a brief introduction to the game rules, and then brought out a small box for drawing lots.
According to the staff, the amusement park has several different challenge routes, and it is best to play each route in pairs... The staff suggested that Emery and her friends form a group.
Bobo and Lulu, the twins, habitually wanted to be a pair, but Amelie flicked their foreheads and told them that children couldn't go on these kinds of rides together and that they had to be accompanied by an adult.
Bobo and Lulu made faces at Emerald together, but neither objected.
The group then drew lots to form groups according to the staff's method.
The staff wanted fairness, but unfortunately she was just an ordinary person. Anyone present, except for the two little pink-haired girls, could cheat, let alone Emery... However, the one who cheated this time was Judy, who secretly manipulated the lottery results with magic.
Emerald didn't react at all, and Marcy, seeing that Emerald didn't react, pretended that she didn't know anything.
Julia also discovered that Judy had cheated. She was about to say something, but then she realized that Judy had manipulated the outcome to her liking, so she ultimately said nothing.
So the grouping result was that Emerald and Julia were in one group, Marcy and Lulu were in another, and Judy and Popeye were in yet another. The three groups then went their separate ways to challenge the rides at the amusement park.
Emerald and Julia are taking on a route filled with eerie horror. There are no monsters or undead creatures along the way, but there are many terrifying scenes created by the staff using illusions.
When people pretend to be ghosts or spirits to scare others, they are often more terrifying than real ghosts, especially the kind of counterintuitive fear that is chilling upon closer examination.
At first, Julia was insisting that she would protect Emerald, and she even put on her magical armor. But after a few scary scenes, her legs went weak, and she instinctively snuggled into Emerald's arms.
Emerald was of course not afraid at all, but to make things more interesting, she would often pretend to be scared and shout.
The fact that the two young girls were so frightened seemed to excite the staff behind the scenes, who created more terrifying scenes and images to frighten them.
In the end, things went awry—Yulia seemed to be so frightened that she couldn't control her instincts and strength, and with one punch, she shattered the illusion that made up the entire level, scaring the staff half to death in return.
The mages working at the amusement park were mostly awakened mages with little practical combat experience. Facing Yulia's nearly full-force punch, the feeling that they were doomed made their minds race.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Although the amusement park's challenges were less than halfway over, Emerald was very happy. She put her arm around Julia, whose legs were still a little weak, and led her to the rest area. They booked a private room, ordered some snacks and juice, and waited for the other two groups to finish playing.
Before long, Marcy arrived with Lulu.
"Hmph, what a weakling! No match for me at all!"
Lulu was calling them "minor fish," but her eyes were full of excitement; she must have been having a lot of fun.
Their group completed the course at speed.
Marcy and Lulu chose a level with a bizarre, rule-based theme. Once inside, the two were separated by the scene; they could hear each other but couldn't see each other, and had to cooperate to complete some puzzle mini-games.
The difficulty of this level lies in the strategies that the two challengers devise. The staff controlling the scene behind the scenes can hear these strategies and can increase the difficulty for the challengers at any time, or make things easier for them when they really can't pass the level.
Marcy and Lulu were both very clever, and they realized this soon after they went in, so they switched to communicating in Elvish.
Lulu is a little genius who practices ancient elven magic and can use Elvish as her native language. Marcy is a half-elf who grew up among the elves.
The two women communicated in Elvish without any difficulty, but the staff were completely baffled and could only watch helplessly as they quickly cleared the level.
The only group that seemed like normal players was Judy and Popeye's group.
The level they chose was a monster-themed one, where they would encounter all sorts of monster phantoms along the way. They had to select the correct items within the scene to deal with the monsters in order to pass the level.
As a horror-themed amusement park level, many of the monsters in this scene may not be very strong in actual combat, but they look terrifying, with many of them being the kind that would keep you up at night for three days after just one look.
Bobo's talent lies in the development of magical devices. He is a researcher rather than a combatant, and he is still a little afraid when he sees those scary monsters. With his two older sisters not around, he can only rely on Judy.
Judy, on the other hand, is truly a natural at dealing with monsters.
As the vice commander of the Demon Tide Extermination Legion, what kind of monsters hasn't Judy seen? She could recite the Federation's monster encyclopedia by heart years ago, and she's seen far too many mutated and evolved monsters... In this amusement park, no one knows more about monsters than her!
Having worked with Emery, Judy now knows how to be cool.
She knew she was a tough woman, lacking the traditional feminine charm, and that to attract Bobo, she had to be cool and charismatic. Now was the perfect opportunity.
Under Popona's gaze, which gradually shifted from anticipation to a touch of admiration, Judy calmly and effectively dealt with every monster she encountered. No matter how terrifying or frightening the monster was, she remained composed, quickly identifying its weaknesses and countermeasures, and even explaining the solutions to Popona while calmly dealing with it.
Judy's handsome appearance was so captivating that even the female staff members controlling the level design looked at her with stars in their eyes, almost turning into hearts.
Bobo was also impressed by her sister's friend... In fact, she had been quite curious about Judy from the beginning.
Because his two older sisters and mother are all great beauties, and even when he dresses up as a girl, he is very cute, Bobo has actually been a bit tired of beautiful women since he was a child. In his eyes, ordinary beauties are not as attractive as magical artifact parts.
On the contrary, Bobo found Judy's tough personality quite refreshing, and their shared adventure at the amusement park made Bobo even more interested in Judy... So, before Judy could even speak after the adventure, Bobo suggested exchanging contact information so they could chat sometime.
Judy, of course, wouldn't refuse. She pretended to be serious, but inside she was overjoyed. When she met up with Emerald, she secretly gave Emerald a 'take it' gesture.
Judy's vacation has just begun, and she will be staying in Sphinx for many more days. With her extensive experience in flirting with Xiao Nanliang, she will surely find a way to continue to increase Bobo's favorability, so there is no need for Amelie to worry about or assist her anymore.
So the morning after the amusement park trip, Amelie prepared to take Marcy, Julia, and Muffin back to Locke City. Her career was at a critical stage, and it was already a squeeze that she could take two days to go home.
On the return trip, instead of using the fixed portal, Emerald planned to sail her private airship, the Emerald, to Locke City, as she had already decided.
As Amelie had predicted, with her current personal wealth, a private airship no longer affected her entrepreneurial trials; it was merely a means of transportation. The family's trial supervision group easily approved her application.
Julia had long been interested in Emerald's private airship, and this time she finally got to see it.
It was a rectangular structure about 11 meters long, divided into two layers. The upper layer was pink and the lower layer was pure white. From a distance, it looked like a giant strawberry-flavored cream cake.
The lower section is thicker, about 2.5 meters high, and its interior decoration style is very similar to Amelie's residence—all high-end furniture, but the overall style is simple and cozy.
The upper part is only about 1 meter high, and ordinary people cannot enter it. It is full of various magical modules of the airship, including the power module, internal control module, shield generation module and emergency combat module. It is only opened during maintenance.
Operating this small magical airship is quite simple for mages.
As long as magic power is input into the control panel, mages can control the airship with their thoughts. There are no complicated joysticks or buttons. They can fly however they want. Mages who can use the flying magic device smoothly can basically serve as pilots of small magic airships.
Yulia flew around Locke City every day, so her flying skills were undoubtedly excellent. She had also long been interested in the magic airship, so not long after boarding and taking off, she coaxed herself into taking control of the airship from Emerald.
So the originally stable magical airship suddenly started flying in a strange trajectory, performing several leaf-like maneuvers and rattlesnake maneuvers, which startled several passing mages who thought there had been an air accident. They put on their magical costumes and rushed to rescue the people.
Of course, Amelie grabbed the embarrassed Julia by the ear and scolded her, making her apologize properly.
Even so, Julia remained in high spirits. Like a big kid who had received a new toy, she deliberately circled around the Federation in the Emerald, turning a journey that should have taken 7 hours into almost 11 hours before finally arriving in Locke City.
Locke City had already received the news, and Viliana personally led several mages skilled in civil engineering to build a docking area on the roof of Blue Star Film and Television in half a day to serve as a place for the Emeryte to be moored.
"...Hehe, it's so much fun flying the Emerald!"
After disembarking from the airship, Julia was still somewhat reluctant to leave. Ignoring the slight annoyance on Amelie's face, she clung to her arm and acted coquettishly.
"Amélie~ Amélie~, can I fly your airship when I'm free? The Amélie is so much fun~~"
"...Heh~~, the Emerald is fun, isn't it?"
Emerald seemed to have finally reached her breaking point. She grabbed Julia's wrist and slammed her against the hatch of the Emerald with a thud. She also raised one of her long, black-stockinged legs high, over Julia's shoulder, and pressed it against Julia's face. At the same time, she pressed both hands against the hatch, creating a classic high-leg wall slam pose.
"Well……"
Yulia blushed instantly.
Emerald, however, wouldn't let up. She brought her face close to Julia's ear, kissed her delicate little earlobe, and blew a breath into her ear canal.
"Want to go out and play in my magic airship anytime? Not impossible... but that's a privilege only my girlfriend has. Yulia, do you want to be my girlfriend? Anyway, quite a few people are calling you 'President's Wife' these days, so why not make it a real relationship?"
"Varied……"
Yulia's face instantly turned bright red, her eyes turned into mosquito coils, and steam rose from her head.
...W-wh-wh-is this Emerald confessing her feelings to me? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? *sigh*
Caught off guard by the direct attack, Julia lost consciousness with her eyes wide open, and collapsed into Amelie's arms.
"...She fainted from embarrassment?"
Amélie found it hilarious and picked Julia up in her arms.
"Honestly, after spending so much time with me, you're still such a nobody... I don't know how you became the harem king in the original work, tsk."
After carrying the minor character Yulia back to her room and throwing her onto the bed, Emerald didn't pounce on her. Instead, she helped Yulia take off her shoes, covered her with a thin blanket, and left.
Hausman Vance is a fast man. Now that the cooperation agreement has been signed, Emery needs to get a lot of money as quickly as possible to keep up with the pace and build movie theaters in Vance Commercial Streets in most cities across the Federation.
This amount of money is a huge sum even for Melson's daughter. The income Emerald had earned on the Goddess was definitely not enough. She needed money, a lot of money.
There are essentially two ways to acquire a large amount of money in a short period of time. One is to do what was done to the Goddess: kill and rob directly... But this has already been done once, and doing it again in a short period of time would cause unrest in the Federation. Moreover, once the matter is exposed, Emerald could very well become the second Granny Ya, so it won't work.
Then there's only one other way: borrow money, borrow from loan sharks.
Borrowing money is not an easy thing. Even if Amelie is very famous, it is impossible for her to borrow so much money. In fact, many financial institutions simply cannot lend this amount of money.
So Amelie once again took out the fragrant stationery, picked up her pen, and began to write a letter in beautiful handwriting to her classmate at the Federal Noble Girls' Academy.
Chapter 155 The Other Side of the Peerless Duo
[Dear Morgan, do you still remember the five years we spent together? Every night when I lie in bed, I often see images of us talking all night long in my mind...]
When Amelie wrote this, her pen suddenly stopped.
She quickly visualized it in her mind: a stylish, charismatic brown-haired woman smiling disdainfully as she tore her letter to shreds and tossed it into the trash.
Hiss.
Emery sighed, realizing she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands and settle the matter privately with the letter first.
She rested her chin on her hand, thought for a few seconds, and then picked up her pen again.
Hi, Stella, it's been so long! I really missed you...
Amelie wrote another long, seemingly cheesy passage.
But as she was writing, she stopped again, frowned, and deduced a different ending.
This time, the brown-haired woman didn't tear up the letter and throw it away. Instead, she picked up her pen and quickly wrote an equally cheesy letter, but didn't mention anything about the important matter in it.
...It still doesn't work, like this.
Hiss.
Amelie tore up the half-written letter and threw it in the trash can, her face contorted in distress. The pen spun rapidly between her two fingers as she struggled with her inner turmoil.
...Do we really have to use that method?
She did a quick calculation, and this time it went very smoothly—the brown-haired beauty would arrive in Locke City immediately, give Amelie a hug, and then easily handle all the loan-related matters.
But... that method was really embarrassing.
Emery sighed again, but finally picked up her pen.
This letter was very short, consisting of only one sentence.
Help me, Starling's mom!
. . . . .
While attending the Federal Noble Women's Academy, Amelie had very close relationships with many upperclassmen and underclassmen, and threw many parties. She was quite extravagant, but these relationships were mostly based on conflicts of interest and were not true friendships.
Does Emery have a true best friend?
Of course, there are others. Judy is only half a person at most. The person who was closest to Emerald during her college days was Stella Morgan, who was also Emerald's roommate.
This roommate definitely doesn't mean that Starling and Emery share a room, but rather that they live together in a small villa in the college's dormitory area... There are sixteen similar villas in the Federal Noble Girls' Academy, which are specially prepared for the most elite heiresses.
Being able to be roommates with Emerald, Stella Morgan's family must be very powerful.
In the financial investment world, this situation often occurs.
That means A has spare cash and wants to invest, but can't find suitable projects. B, on the other hand, has good projects, but lacks the funds to implement them and can't find the necessary capital.
At this point, a C, whom both A and B trust, is needed to step in and allow A to invest their spare money in B, creating a win-win situation for both parties, while C can also earn a commission.
The Morgan family, that is, the C, is the largest C in the entire Allen Federation. Any investor who wants to invest will give priority to the financial services of the Morgan Group.
Stella Morgan is the eldest daughter of the Morgan family and the first in line to the throne. She has an outstanding talent for finance and has made great strides since graduating. Currently, her fame in the financial world is no less than that of Amelie in the entertainment industry.
As Emerald's roommate and best friend during their college years, Starling never had a relationship with Emerald that went beyond friendship—they were close enough to lie on their beds together looking at erotic picture books and exchanging ideas, but they never made a move on each other; it was a purely platonic friendship.
It's not because Starling isn't a woman; in fact, Starling is quite the scumbag. She's had just as many relationships with upperclassmen and underclassmen as Emery in the academy, and she and Emery were known as the two most notorious scumbags in the academy.
After all, every business and company will have times when they have financial difficulties. In order to borrow high-quality funds as quickly as possible in such situations, those young ladies have no choice but to climb into Starling Morgan's bed.
