Chapter 172 Edge Building
In front of Su Mo's house.
There was a leak in the house because of the continuous rain. The heater at home broke yesterday. We just found someone to fix it this morning. Then there was another problem with the circuit in the evening and the whole house lost power.
The room was dark, and KK and others came outside wrapped in cotton-padded jackets.
In the future, he was walking a fat rat with a leash on the street, and all the girls passing by screamed when they saw it.
KK and Dongdong squatted on the ground, their hands turned red from the cold, and they hit marbles every now and then.
KK finished playing a marble and put his hand into Dongdong's cotton-padded jacket: "My hands are going numb from the cold, please give me a hand by your tail."
"Gungun, do you think I'm a heater?" Dongdong gave him a kick.
"What's wrong, you won't die if you hold it!" KK squeezed over and held Dongdong's tail, and the two of them laughed and scolded each other.
At this time, the sound of an engine could be heard faintly above the street, followed by a gust of wind pressure.
The two looked up and saw a floating car hovering in the sky. Its jet black streamlined shell almost blended into the night, making it look extremely mysterious and majestic.
Several red laser beams are projected from the bottom of the floating car, intertwining and projecting a three-dimensional holographic image on the ground. The warning line is suspended, enclosing a space large enough to accommodate the car body.
Around the cordon, holographic subtitles continued to scroll: [The Black Ark is landing, please do not approach]
Neighboring residents opened their windows and looked over, and passers-by also stopped to watch and admire the landing process of the aerial vehicle.
KK couldn't help but exclaimed: "I'll go, this is so cool, whose car is it?"
Dongdong snorted coldly: "What kind of rich person is this? Ordinary people can't afford such a luxury car."
She rolled her eyes, her expression was like a cunning fox, and her tail stood up: "KK, do you have the guts to do something serious with me?"
KK: "What do you mean?"
Dongdong pointed at the black ark and said in a low voice: "When the car lands, we rush over and pull out the people inside, and then drive the car to a second-hand dealer on the border to sell it, so that the boss can have money to buy a house. ~”
KK quickly dissuaded him: "Don't! Are you causing trouble in front of your home? Are you afraid that the police officer won't catch you?"
"What a coward!" Dong Dong kicked him.
The black ark landed in the holographic warning area, and the car doors opened like the wings of a black swan.
The driver walked out, came to the rear door, opened the door gracefully, and made a "please" gesture.
Under the gaze of everyone, a foot wearing simple sneakers landed on the ground. Its rough workmanship was incompatible with the car.
When the people in the back seat got out of the car, the three of them, KK and KK, all let out a loud cry: "Huh???"
Su Mo leaned on the car door and flipped his bangs coquettishly: "Here, how do you evaluate this car?"
The three people ran over in surprise, all stunned.
"Brother, where did you steal this car?"
"Boss, which boss lent it to you?"
"Boss, okay, grab such a luxury car!"
Su Mo almost fainted from anger: "What are you stealing, borrowing, and robbing? Can't I earn it by my own skills? This is my car!"
The three of them shouted loudly again: "Huh???"
Su Mo couldn't hold back the joy of sharing. He hugged KK with his left hand and Dongdong with his right hand. Then he rubbed his forehead against Future's head and said excitedly: "K Bao, Dong Bao, Lai Bao, we are going to be prosperous! Starting from today No more hard times! Hahaha!"
"What are you talking about!" Dongdong's face turned red as he was hugged, and he pushed him lightly, "What's going on?"
Su Mo pushed the three people into the trunk: "I can't explain it in a few words. Get in the car first, and I will take you to see it directly."
The Black Ark left Ruosen Street and flew smoothly over Crescent City.
The lights of the city shrouded in darkness are bright, and the night view is bright and charming when viewed from a high altitude.
Skyscrapers rise one after another in the night, and the colorful neon lights form various patterns and fonts. The traffic on the ground road shuttles between the buildings, forming a dynamic light belt, whose rhythm is like the pulse of the city.
The lights penetrated the windows of the black ark and reflected on the faces of KK and others, illuminating the wonder and longing in their eyes.
KK and Dongdong, who grew up in the border areas, have never seen the night view from high altitude in their lives. They have always been immersed in the laboratory in the future and rarely have such opportunities. At this time, they are addicted to the beautiful scenery and cannot extricate themselves.
Su Mo put his arms around their shoulders and lay down together by the window. He pointed at a skyscraper not far away and said, "Did you see the building without lights?"
The three of them said in unison: "I saw it."
Su Mo was as happy as a child and kept shaking them: "That will be our future home!"
"Ah?!" The three of them were shocked, "Which floor?"
Su Mo shouted: "The whole building! All of it!"
The three of them were stunned and speechless.
Su Mo said excitedly: "Driver, let's land first and let's go inside and take a look."
"Okay." The driving specialist lowered the floating car to the door of the building.
The four people ran into the building. There were no lights inside, but the external light source illuminated everything clearly.
The lobby is extremely spacious and echoes when you walk. The basic decoration has been completed long ago. All you need to do is to arrange various furniture before you can move in.
Dongdong felt like he was dreaming. He couldn't believe it for a moment and looked at Su Mo blankly: "Is this place all ours?"
Su Mo pointed at his feet and then at the top of his head: "There are 12 floors underground and 88 floors above ground, a total of 100 floors. They are all ours! You can arrange them any way you want!"
The atmosphere of joy exploded like fireworks. KK and Dongdong were so excited that they hugged and high-fived. You chased me around and rolled on the ground.
Dongdong cheered and jumped on the spot: "Boss! You are so awesome! I want to live on the highest floor! I want a fully transparent floor-to-ceiling window in my room, a big bed that I can roll around in, and A bathtub for taking a bubble bath!”
Su Mo nodded and smiled: "Okay~ Floor-to-ceiling windows, big bed, bathtub, I remember it. I will install it for you according to the standards of a presidential suite in a five-star hotel!"
KK was so excited that he asked eagerly: "Brother, can we choose a room and decorate it as an entertainment room? Put a pool table, game consoles, various arcade games, etc. in it. When there are more people, we can do team building there!"
Su Mo deliberately said in a contemptuous tone: "An entertainment room? KK, you are too petty. Let's just pick out an entire floor and turn it into an entertainment area! It should be more luxurious than a commercial complex!"
"Yah!" KK excitedly punched the air repeatedly.
The future is like a little hamster rubbing its hands excitedly: "Boss, then my laboratory."
Su Mo patted her shoulder and said boldly: "I will restore all your previous scientific research conditions according to the standards of the Royal Academy!"
"Oh——" Future threw the rat in her arms into the air, caught it and continued to throw it. Squeaky screams and her laughter echoed in the lobby.
In the next month, Su Mo was extremely busy.
On the one hand, in order to take the F1 driver's license test for a floating car, he had to practice subjects two and three in a dedicated venue with a counselor every day.
On the other hand, he also has to take care of the decoration work of the building.
This building was named "Edge Building" by Su Mo, and he also hired someone to design a cool logo.
The designer placed many red neon lights on the top of the building, and the interweaving of light and shadow formed the pattern of a red umbrella.
The inspiration for the red umbrella logo comes from a novel that Su Mo loved before traveling through time. The protagonist in the book holds this kind of weapon.
Because the edge building is very high, residents in the Lakeside Business District can see the red umbrella when they open their windows at night. It has suddenly become one of the shining stars of the Crescent City.
In terms of building planning, the 6th to 12th floors underground are classified as warehouses, equipped with large cold storages, precision refrigeration unit warehouses, normal temperature raw material storage rooms, etc., to store daily supplies and experimental equipment.
The 2nd to 5th underground floors are set up as future laboratories, which are subdivided into specialized areas such as chemistry, biology, electromechanical, etc., so that she can conduct corresponding research.
As for experimental instruments, because they are not civilian equipment, they are not included in the decoration costs borne by the authorities.
However, several of the parents of Chiyang Primary School were suppliers of scientific research hardware. When they heard that Su Mo needed experimental equipment, they were very happy to return the favor.
Su Mo didn't even pay a single monthly coin, but the suppliers sent various instruments, including high-end precision instruments worth hundreds or even tens of millions, which made the future so exciting.
The parents of those suppliers also said that if they need to purchase new ones in the future, they will all be at internal discount prices.
The first underground floor is set up as an isolation area, with heavy access control and security units. Only those who have been identified can pass through, thus ensuring the privacy and security of the experimental area and warehouse.
The ground floor is an outdoor parking lot and lobby, which are decorated in a grand style and are usually used to receive visiting guests.
Floors 2 to 5 are set up as security areas for various safety operations and to respond to possible emergencies.
The 6th to 30th floors are the administrative areas, including offices and conference rooms. When the mercenary group becomes bigger, this will be the main office space for the clerks in the group.
The 31st to 32nd floors serve as the medical area, used to place the wounded and perform daily medical care.
The 33rd to 40th floors are aerial vehicle parking garages, which will be used to park helicopters, aerial vehicles, armed airships, individual aircraft and other aerial vehicles in the future.
The 41st to 60th floors have been renovated into living areas, with 60 rooms planned on each floor. There are single residences and multi-family residences for couples or larger families, which can accommodate up to 2,400 people.
After the mercenary group expands its recruitment, if some mercenaries cannot afford a house or cannot afford the high rent in Crescent City, they can apply to live directly in the Edge Building, which is considered a team benefit.
The 61st and 62nd floors are dining areas. Restaurants with a variety of food styles will be set up in the future to cater to the tastes of different mercenaries.
The 63rd to 79th floors are temporarily vacant and are reserved to see the future development of the mercenary group for flexible use.
The 80th floor is the entertainment area that KK dreams of. There are private cinemas, small bars, karaoke boxes, tea rooms, various arenas, saunas, etc., which can meet the daily entertainment of mercenaries and can also be used for team building. site.
Several of them are video game rooms, which are equipped with a variety of high-end computers, game consoles, arcade game consoles, virtual reality equipment, etc.
This was arranged by Su Mo by name.
Although he has traveled through time, it does not affect his love for games.
There are dedicated floors above the 81st floor, which Su Mo reserved exclusively for the "core members".
He is not a saint and cannot be selfless or treat everyone equally.
After the mercenary group expands its recruitment, some people will gain his full trust through fighting side by side again and again and become "core members", such as Dongdong, KK, and people like this in the future.
And some people can only be casual acquaintances. Su Mo pays and they contribute, and every monthly coin is clearly accounted for, a kind of relationship between managers and employees.
The dedicated floors from the 81st to the 88th floor are reserved for those core members.
Su Mo will customize a residence for each of them here, and use it to store the most confidential documents, materials, etc.
This month, the building decoration work has been very busy.
Under the coordination of the city council, more than 30 construction teams are working on each floor at the same time. Countless furniture is transported in and countless construction waste is shipped out every day.
When Su Mo was taking his driver's license test, he would come back often to check on the renovation progress. Every time he came, there were earth-shaking changes.
Looking at the completed rooms, Su Mo felt as if he was floating in the clouds, feeling relaxed and happy.
Finally, on November 10, the decoration of all floors of the Edge Building was completed.
Su Mo, who had passed the F1 driver's license test, drove the Black Ark to the floating garage on the 33rd floor.
KK and others ran out of the car shouting.
In the future, he couldn't wait to take the elevator to the underground laboratory, ready to debug the new experimental equipment.
KK couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted: "Dong dong, let's go to the video game arcade quickly! The elder brother said that there are very advanced virtual reality equipment there that can input sensory signals to the human body, making it as immersive as traveling through a game. Let's go and try it out. try!"
Dong Dong Zhan clenched his little fists and stomped on the spot: "Go, go, go! After playing the game, I want to go back to the room to take a bubble bath. I heard that the bath is big enough to swim in!!!"
The two of them laughed happily and rushed towards the entertainment area on the 80th floor.
Seeing his partner so happy, Su Mo was also very happy.
Su Mo's room is on the 88th floor, the highest floor, on the same floor as Dongdong, KK, and Future.
His room is more than 600 square meters and is decorated according to the standards of a top-level presidential suite. In addition to the bedroom, study, kitchen and other living rooms, there is also a huge open-air garden as a balcony.
The wind blew through the evergreen trees and touched his face, bringing the unique fragrance of the forest leaves. Su Mo leaned on the guardrail and looked at the bustling city from a distance.
The traffic in the distance runs through the buildings like a shining river, and the car lights are like stars flowing in the river. When the red light turns on, the stars pause, and after the green light turns on, they continue to flow, interweaving a magnificent sea of stars.
The night view of Crescent City is so charming and gorgeous.
But Su Mo knew that this was just its appearance.
The city's bustling exterior is full of temptations and dangers.
At this moment, there are countless people in the world like him, standing on a high place overlooking the prosperity of the world.
If you sink into it but don't know how to be in awe, you will fall to pieces without realizing it.
The gorgeous lights reflected in Su Mo's eyes, there was no trace of intoxication, only calmness and clarity.
He said to himself: "Don't linger here, you still have a long way to go."
