Happy Little Mayor Chapter 3

The office of that morning, was immersed in an one-of-a-kind strange atmosphere.

w.a.n.g Bo didn’t pay attention to his colleagues looks or discussions and experimented several times in front of this work station and understood what was going on with this so-called ‘Lord of Heart’: He has to say, this thing is actually pretty intelligent. When he wanted it to appear, the shining heart-shaped crystal would appear from the pit of his stomach and then turn into the crystal sandbox. When he wants it to return, it would fade back into the pit of his stomach.

Getting familiar with how the Lord of Heart appears and disappears, w.a.n.g Bo used great effort to calm himself, combing through all the information he knew concerning the Lord of Heart.

Through these experiments, he was certain that he wasn’t hallucinating. The Lord of Heart genuinely exists, but it can only be seen by himself and others cannot see it.

Another coincidence that he found is that the crystal sandbox can expand itself. As long as he wants it to become bigger, it will then expand proportionally like a mouse controlling the map on a computer. However, it can’t shrink any smaller, the smallest is the initial size of 1 square meter per area.

The question is, where did this thing come from?

Subconsciously, he thought of the Game Development Department. But when he went to the department and asked, the staff there chopped the nail and sliced the iron by saying they did not develop a game like that.

TL Note: Idiom similar to “Put the final nail in the coffin”

They have no reason to lie, so w.a.n.g Bo returned to his seat and continued to comb through this queer game.

The Game Development Department said they did not develop this game, but he really truthfully played this game before. To the extent that the game exists in his mobile phone right now. As such, he asked for permission to leave and went home, hoping to find the criminal ringleader.

TL Note: Idiom for “Main cause of a disaster” (I really need infopopup with these notes…)

On the subway, w.a.n.g Bo sat down and suddenly recalled something at that moment. It was when he was registering for the game yesterday, the dialog box that popped up from the game had a line that said the Lord of Heart is ‘1’ and the later note explained that that one person is Lord w.a.n.g Bo.

The problem starts here, back when he first felt something was wrong, he didn’t know what was wrong. The part that’s wrong was actually very obvious——He had never inputted his name, so how did this game know that the registrant’s name is ‘w.a.n.g Bo’?!

Thinking to this point, w.a.n.g Bo was filled with cold sweat again. He feels that he has encountered the supernatural world now……

It really is a supernatural event. After he returned to his rented home, he started to look for the black experimental smartphone. He clearly remembered putting it on the table. Flipping the table upside down, he even found the needle that was used to pick the callus on his foot, but he just could not find that black palm-sized experimental smartphone.

Determining that the phone has disappeared, w.a.n.g Bo was instinctively aware that if he wanted to solve this supernatural mystery, he had to go check out his so called territory. He still remembers that when he was registering in the game, the place he chose was New Zealand’s Otago Region, a large area called where the sun never sets on the land.

The reason why he made this decision was because he knew that he did not know much about New Zealand, and did not know the Otago Region where the sun never sets even more. But it was because of that was the place’s name etched deeply in his mind after like, a short glance last night. The memory is clear and distinct, almost as if he had recalled the memory tens of thousands of times!

This clearly violates common sense!

And there’s something else that violates common sense even more!

After obtaining the Lord of Heart, Old w.a.n.g realized that his physical qualities really did change a lot suddenly. He could ran fast, jump high. His strength became greater and his endurance was powerful. Recently, he could climb the stairs without gasping for air or causing his face to redden. When he was practicing his wrist strength while watching j.a.panese love action movies, his endurance was exceeding his previous boundaries……

At the time when he read the game introductions, it mentioned that anyone who obtains a Lord of Heart, no matter how weak they are, will become a Tyrannosaurus. His present situation is a little like a Tyrannosaurus in human skin.

Once he said he’ll do it, he’ll do it. w.a.n.g Bo is a man of action, the remaining daylight hours were put to use into searching on the internet to check and prepare to leave for New Zealand by going through the procedures to schedule a flight. At night he slept and the same dream of birdsongs and fragrant flowers, high mountains, ancient castles appeared. A familiar and strange dream……

When he woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was to check the situation of his Lord of Heart. The result was that this thing was still here; even more obedient than the dogs you would raise, with a silent command in his heart, it would immediately appear, making his b.a.l.l.s ache immensely.

What’s even more ball aching, is that just when he arrived at the company, he was called by the Director of Human Resources to go to his office. A fake professional smile was hanging on the old man’s face. Bright on the outside, dark on the inside, the indirect way for the company to say that they think your mental situation is unstable right now for work is to let you take a break.

w.a.n.g Bo understood the meaning of the Director of the Human Resources. The company is going to lay him off, what let him take a break, give himself a vacation. It’s just a pompous excuse. But at the same time, he was prepared. The company’s efficiency was bad, they have already started to lay off employees years ago. Making himself look like he had a mental illness just gave the Human Resource Department an excuse to lay him off.

Anyway, he was already planning to go on a trip to New Zealand. So that they don’t wrong themselves, he directly patted the table and stated: “It’s alright Director Cao. I don’t want to trouble you, I quit.”

After listening to his words, the smile of the Director of Human Resources finally became a bit more genuine and sincere: “Then you should return to write your resignation letter. Altogether, you must have three. The Company’s, the CEO’s and your Director’s.”

To be honest, regarding this job of his, w.a.n.g Bo was already unable to bear it anymore. The company’s future prospects, the chaotic team atmosphere, a useless Leader, colleagues scheming and fighting one another. The arrival of the Lord of Heart had in fact, helped him make his decision.

Taking out writing paper, he began to write his resignation letter. Thinking a bit, since he had to write three letters, he should just write it in three segments. The letter to the CEO has: Boss, if the company is a woman, what did you do to drive her to such an early demise.

The letter of resignation to his colleagues has: Sorry everyone! This Brother is going to go save the World.

The letter of resignation to the yellow-faced old woman has: Chief Huang, your great auntie has come too long. If she doesn’t leave, I’m leaving.

TL Note: Auntie is slang for period.

After checking his three letter of resignation and feeling that there was no problem, w.a.n.g Bo directly delivered the letters to the Director of Human Resources. The Director of Human Resources even praised him for working in an efficient manner. But after reading his three resignation letters, his face turned green, frowning angrily: “Xiao w.a.n.g, you writing like this, is it appropriate?

Without even turning his head: “If they aren’t appropriate, then why don’t you write it for me. What, the company firing an old employee like me, I should still feel grateful to them?”

Hastily packing up his things on the desk, he returned to his rented house to prepare to travel to New Zealand.

New Zealand is a big country and attaches great importance to its relationship with China, as such, it is not difficult to apply for travel visas. Taking advantage of the visas, he took this change to go back and visit his parents and say that recently work was going badly so he was going to take this chance to go travel for a bit and clear his heart.

After he graduated, w.a.n.g Bo worked very hard. Hard to the point it was as if he was fighting for his life. The elderly pair constantly consoled him that as long as he tried his best at work, it was fine, he doesn’t have to work that hard. As a result, when he said he want to travel out to clear his heart, they did not obstruct him, they’ve simply told him to call.

Before leaving, w.a.n.g Bo went to look for his old hometown buddy Zhong Dabao. Not only did they meet up and drink, pa.s.sing on their affections for each other, he also told him his hopes: “Old Zhong, this time this brother will be going to New Zealand and doesn’t know if something might happen. If something does happen to me, I’ll leave my parents in your care.”

Zhong Dabao is a youthful person of similar age to him. His character is very loyal. Listening to his words, he immediately patted his chest: “Don’t you worry Old w.a.n.g, if something happens to you, your parents will be my parents, your wife——cao. Your grandson, you still don’t have a wife—— ow, wa cao, this isn’t right. You’re just going out to travel, what can happen? Listening to your tone, why does it feel like you’re approaching your end?”

This guy, saying he’s loyal, he is loyal, but his head isn’t all that bright. Using the currently popular catchphrase, he is a er (two). But his character is simple and enthusiastic, a friend of w.a.n.g Bo’s since childhood and the one with the biggest heart.

TL Note: Saying two in Beijing Dialect sounds like stupid

w.a.n.g bo listened to his disorderly speech and smiled bitterly, saying: “It’s nothing. Going out to travel eh, it’s hard to avoid an accident. Of course, perhaps this brother of yours could even flourish and I definitely won’t forget about you when that happens……

“Flourish? How do you flourish?” Zhong Dabao blankly looked at him before erupting in a breath: “Wa cao, Old w.a.n.g, are you trying to go to a foreign country to do multi-level marketing? Let me tell you, the stupider I am, the more aware I am. Multi-level marketing this thing, you should touch!”

Listening to this, w.a.n.g Bo didn’t even have the energy to bitterly laugh.

What’s tragic, is that when he was staying over at Zhong Dabao’s house to play, his neighbor was also there and the news that he was going abroad to do multi-level marketing spread all over the village. Like this, w.a.n.g Bo was thoroughly unable to stay home, he could only advance his plan and return home.
