More than two hours later, a series of vehicles and heavily armed troops arrived at Prosperity Town. Just because it was dark, they were stationed outside the town to establish defense lines and temporary camps.

Early the next morning, the townspeople who were still in the shopping mall opened the door and walked out of the shopping mall.

Most of the sun-hating spiders disappeared. A large number of FBI personnel appeared in the town, including soldiers and scientific researchers. They wanted to figure out the origin of these giant spiders, or do some research or something.

Locke didn't care about these things. He took Ashley with him to record a confession.

"Let the FBI people worry about the next thing. They will definitely be asking about this matter for a long time, but I have a special channel and am going to leave earlier. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course." Ashley said without hesitation, "I have wanted to leave this town for a long time, but my mother..."

"She should be with Chris. I heard that he followed the FBI people into the mine to search and found a new gold vein. Maybe this place will prosper again."

"That has nothing to do with me." Ashley said weakly, "It hasn't stopped since yesterday. I want to find a place to rest first. You must take me with you when you leave."

"Of course, how could I forget our princess, but the search in the town has not been completed yet. It is under lockdown. If you want to rest, you can only camp in the countryside."

Locke said with a smile: "Fortunately, we have Mayor Wade who has disappeared, and the shopping mall has a special inflatable tent for camping."

Ashley seemed to be in a better mood: "Has Mayor Wade not been found yet? It's such a pity. I will pray for him. After a thorough search, the FBI will arrange for the town residents to live near the shopping center first. "

Locke nodded: "Thank you for his kindness and generosity. I hope he will have a happy life in heaven or hell."

The two of them ate something together and set up a tent near the shopping mall. After yawning, Ashley fell into the tent.

Locke also slept for a while. After waking up, he contacted the agents here, met the commander here, and brought Ashley and Samantha to meet. The mother and daughter talked for a while.

Perhaps because she was worried about her mother and brother, Ashley, who was initially prepared to leave with Locke, finally let Locke leave alone. She said she would contact Locke again when the family settled down.

After something like this happened, many people wanted to go home quickly, but the town was not completely safe yet, and the FBI was still conducting searches.

The only good news that supports the townspeople is that when Chris followed the FBI people to search in the mine, they discovered new mineral veins, which meant that Prosperity Town could prosper again.

This news didn't mean much to Ashley. She didn't want to be tied to such a small town at a young age like her mother for the rest of her life.

As for the future development of Samantha and Chris, childhood sweethearts, Locke doesn't care, even though after discovering the gold mine, Chris, as the owner, is likely to become a rich man, and the town residents can live a middle-class life. life.

He came to Princeton early, and a month and a half ago, he had bought a property near the university.

After all, this is the place where he will live for many years in the future. Locke has no intention of wronging himself and has prepared and decorated the house early.

Locke, who was on the road, made some repairs at his new residence, and drove to New York early the next morning to contact Tang Wei, who was already on summer vacation.

"I have read the book you wrote. "Arcane Throne" has been very popular recently. It seems that you are going to become a famous writer." Tang Wei congratulated Locke.

"Thank you." Thinking of his book, Locke was in a good mood. As time went by, the fame of the work gradually spread, and his potential points also increased. So far, he still has the potential points increased by writing books. Not willing to use them all.

"Speaking of it, you study hard enough." Locke glanced at the desk in the outer hall, which had various books on it.

In the past year, except for Locke's occasional visits to New York, Tang Wei spent all his time studying, and his effort was comparable to Dongguo's college entrance examination sprint.

"After all, I can't always rely on you. I must at least be able to become a middle class person on my own." Tang Wei said with a smile.

"Middle class, I didn't expect you to believe this?"

"Why don't you believe it!" Seeing the teasing look in Locke's eyes, Tang Wei couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.

"This is just a pseudo-concept created by the capitalists." Locke joked with a smile: "I thought you could figure it out due to the education you received in Dongguo.

The property among the bourgeoisie and the proletariat refers to the ownership relationship of the means of production, but the so-called property of the middle class has been stolen and transformed into the property of property.

Owning property does not mean owning assets, so most of the middle class are just proletarians with some money, especially those white-collar workers in the city.

Compared with the proletariat, they just live in better-decorated houses, drive better cars, and have better clothes and food. They have no assets of their own and are essentially still working for others. "

Tang Wei:......

I feel like you ruined my last good impression of the United States.

"No need to thank me, baby." Locke said with a smile: "The world is like this. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand it, but everyone selectively ignores it. After all, people often need to comfort themselves by deceiving themselves. "

The corner of Tang Wei's mouth twitched, and she realized that what she said made sense. She was really speechless. In the end, she could only give Locke a fierce look: "Okay, I know that it is you, a big capitalist, who has been deceiving me all this time. .”

"Then you can choose to negotiate hundreds of millions of dollars in business with me now, which may make you feel better."

"No matter what we talk about, you can talk about it!" Having been with Locke for a while, Tang Wei can sometimes keep up with the rich connotations in Locke's words.

Since the Arcane Throne began to sell well, some companies gradually came to the door. After all, there are still enough fantasy elements in it, and the plot is suitable for being made into a TV series.

However, Locke has no intention of selling the film and television and peripheral copyrights now. The income from these copyrights is not comparable to the income from simply selling books.

If possible, Locke even plans to invest in filming himself and make it a high-quality drama.

Speaking of which, Locke's favorite TV series in his previous life were HBO. This cable TV network media company is different from most free TV stations in that it does not rely on advertising fees to survive, but subscription fees.

Even if there are free channels, more and more American families will choose to pay in the future to watch HBO's huge investment in carefully creating high-quality boutique TV series instead of mindless soap operas on free channels.

HBO is a cable TV network owned by Time Warner, and the IP of Little Wizard is also sponsored by Time Warner, but any very large media group can do similar things.

If you can become an important shareholder, you can initiate a motion and promote your work like a little wizard. At that time, every increase in reputation will represent potential points.
