Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

That is to say, it is most likely a problem with Compass Water Company.

Should we remind everyone to change the water company?

When Locke went to Mrs. Armour's house to get the mended vest at night, he specifically said,

"Mrs. Armour, have you noticed that the water provided by Compass Water Company is getting worse and worse? Hannah got sick because of it. I changed a water company and the situation improved."

"Ah? There is such a thing."

Mrs. Armour looked at Locke in surprise, thinking that her two daughters did have diarrhea, so she asked, "Which company did you change to?"

"Clarence Water Company."

Locke said with a smile.

Mrs. Armour was stunned for a moment, and remembered the advertisement published in the newspaper by Clarence Water Company. This is a company in the East District, and the water source is intercepted from the upper reaches of the Kosor River.

She shook her head and changed the subject.

"Locke, go back and have a rest early."

Since her husband died, she has been raising two daughters alone, almost busy from morning till night, so as not to let the family fall into the abyss. If she changes the drinking water company in the East District, she will have to pay more than half of the living expenses every month.

"Okay, thank you, Mrs. Amore, your craftsmanship is still as good as ever."

Locke took the vest and left Mrs. Amore's house with a heavy heart.

I hope it is not because of the problem of the drinking water company, I hope I think too much.

Otherwise, one-third of the people in the West District will not escape the bad luck.

Chapter 15, collective suicide of cats

Locke returned home, took out paper and pen, and wrote a letter of complaint to the city government, although this kind of letter has no real evidence and is likely to fall into the sea.

But if you are lucky, it is not ruled out that you will meet a responsible public official who will send someone to investigate the Compass Drinking Water Company.

There is only so much Locke can do at present. It is obviously unrealistic to ask everyone to change the drinking water company with him.

The citizens of the Pete District generally live in a tight situation. They are only one street away from the poor in the slums and face the risk of conversion at any time. Trying to persuade them to give up the water supply in the West District and choose the companies in the East District is like telling them that black bread is not suitable for them and they should eat strawberry cake instead.

The next morning, the bells of the Cathedral of Life woke up most of the hardworking citizens of Kosork.

Locke got up and started to prepare breakfast.

Today's breakfast is mutton noodles made with the leftover mutton.

The noodles are also hand-kneaded, but they are essentially different from knife-cut noodles.

A bowl of fragrant mutton noodles conquered the witch's stomach again, making her forget the unpleasantness of yesterday. She lay lazily on the sofa with a satisfied smile.

[Ding! Feeding the witch successfully! ]

[Randomly obtain an ability of the witch]

[Getting...]

[Body coordination: You can control your limbs flexibly like a cat, and you can achieve coordination even when doing difficult movements. ]

[Advanced path: Complete 1,000 body coordination movements to upgrade to a balance messenger. 】

【Balance Messenger: You can keep your balance anywhere. As long as there is support under your feet, even a strand of hair, you can find the subtle balance point and turn yourself into a tumbler. 】

Locke scratched his hair. What does 1,000 body coordination movements mean?

Does radio gymnastics count? You can try it now.

Hannah looked at the obviously improved food at home. Although her appetite was satisfied as never before, she began to worry about the future.

Her brother's habit of spending money recklessly when he has money cannot be tolerated.

At least before she finds a job, she cannot indulge him in such extravagance.

Meat can only be eaten once a month at most!

Hannah stretched out her hand seriously, "Locke, give your remaining money to your sister for safekeeping."

Locke knew that the food must have been too good recently, which aroused his sister's vigilance and worried that he would spend a month's living expenses in two days.

He did spend a lot of money on buying meat before. Since he changed to the Clarence Water Supply Company, he did not need to pay the water bill in one go, so he still had 1,020 grams left.

Locke gave his sister 500 Mik, and the remaining 520 Mik was for himself.

It is necessary to increase Miss Irene's favorability by 4 points every day.

"Hannah, I'll leave this money to you for safekeeping. I still have a little left to buy food. Don't worry, I will never let the family live in poverty."

Locke said seriously.

"Do you really have money?"

Hannah asked doubtfully. Since she lost her job, she has never seen more than 200 Mik.

500 Mik, if you live frugally, is enough to support a family's expenses for a month.

Locke nodded, "Yes."

Hannah chose to believe her brother's words, put the money Locke gave her in a small box in the closet in the room, stuffed it into the drawer, and then changed her clothes and went out.

Locke took the tableware back to the kitchen, and while washing the dishes, he imagined that after Irene's favorability reached 100, all the dishes and dishes would be left to her.

The thing that cooks hate the most is washing dishes. In the past, they had a dishwasher, but now they only have a cat that rides on their shoulders and gives orders.

After Locke finished washing the dishes, he did radio gymnastics in the living room.

Compared with the previous [Life Observation], [Witch Affinity], and [Stay Healthy], this is the only ability that can easily improve proficiency.

Therefore, Locke hopes to quickly improve this [Body Coordination] ability. If he can stand on a hair and remain invincible, then it can be regarded as a certain improvement in combat effectiveness, right?

Erin watched with confusion as Locke put on various weird postures, and used his soul vision to see if this guy was contaminated by evil gods, or was contaminated by any resentful ghosts.

It turned out that Locke's soul was perfectly healthy and showed no signs of being tainted by any weirdness.

She squinted her eyes, sat on the sofa, and watched Locke finish a set of radio gymnastics, labeling the new servant "weird" again.

Locke successfully gained 1 point of proficiency.

[Body coordination: 1/1000]

Unfortunately, a set of broadcast gymnastics can only provide 1 point of proficiency.

And Locke has not yet reached the point of financial freedom and cannot stay at home and do radio gymnastics.

After doing three sets of radio gymnastics in a row and reaching the [Body Coordination] proficiency level of 3, Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead, put on his coat and went out.

I spent 1m in front of the newsstand and bought the latest Sun newspaper, hoping to find the latest recruitment information.

Unfortunately, I browsed through the entire recruitment page and couldn't find any advertisements for chefs.

Locke would not just read the recruitment information, but would read the newspaper from cover to cover. This was a rare entertainment activity in a world without televisions, mobile phones, and game consoles, and it was also the cheapest.

It's a pity that the news topics in The Sun are all old-fashioned ones, with no new ideas at all. Only one report titled "Wildcat Mass Suicide on the Pier" aroused Locke's curiosity.

The report tells about a very strange incident that occurred recently at Neil's Pier in the West District of Kosolk. Hundreds of wild cats actually jumped into the sea en masse.

The reporter who wrote the story suspected that the cats were suffering from some strange disease.

It is a pity that this news did not occupy a favorable position in the Sun. It was only summarized in an inconspicuous corner in a few dozen words. It is a veritable tofu block.

It can be seen that the editor-in-chief of The Sun does not pay much attention to this news.

It’s no wonder that the Sun’s main audience is the citizens of the West District, but most people in the West District don’t have enough to eat. Who is in the mood to care about wild cats?

The area where the Sun newspaper publishes job advertisements occupies the largest space.

Locke read the newspaper, folded it, put it in his coat pocket, and planned to try his luck at a restaurant near Trey Bridge.

Erin was still standing on Locke's shoulder, flicking her tail from time to time.

As soon as Locke reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a spotted cat stumbling over.

It was in a state of being drunk, falling over, and its gait was extremely unsteady.

Suddenly, it fell directly to the ground, its body twitched, its expression was ferocious, and it meowed in pain.

Locke did not step forward to check, but chose to take a detour. If there was really a strange contagious disease, even if he had the ability to [maintain health], he could not 100% avoid contracting all diseases.

To be cautious, it's better to avoid it.

However, when Locke walked to the square, he saw an even weirder scene.

Chapter 16, Sister seems to be crazy

Many men, women, and children gathered in the square, some of whom Locke knew, and some of whom were complete strangers from the West End.

But without exception, they were all dancing strange dances, or in other words, their hands and feet were cramping uncontrollably, while still keeping a charming smile on their faces.

This scene looks like a man possessed, strange and grotesque.

Cluck, cluck -

Laughter was like a sharp knife, stimulating Locke's nerves.

Ruling out the possibility that this group of people were members of a collective time travel who gathered together to dance in the square, Locke swallowed and looked at the yawning black cat on his shoulder.

"Xiao Ai, is this the coming of the evil god or the devil's sacrifice ceremony?"

"No, I don't smell anything weird."

Erin replied.

Outside, she allowed her servants to call her by her nickname so that no one else would find out she was still alive.

"Then what's going on with them?"

Locke frowned.

Eileen didn't answer. She seemed to be too bored. She changed her position and fell asleep on Locke's shoulder.

Without good food, sleeping is her normal state.

Suddenly, Locke saw a familiar figure among this group of people.

Hannah is among them, wearing an old coat, with curly brown hair, thin cheeks, but delicate facial features.

Locke's heart suddenly tightened.

If it weren't for [Life Detection] and saw that Hannah's lifespan was completely different from the lifespan of the people around her, Locke might have gone berserk on the spot.

Fortunately Hannah still has decades to live, but unfortunately those around her only have a few days left.

He rushed into the crowd with a solemn expression.

He passed by these uncoordinated guys one by one and squeezed into Hannah's side.

In order to blend in with them, Hannah seemed to be doing a mechanical dance, which looked hilarious.

"Hannah, what are you doing?"

"Shhh."

Hannah made a silent gesture to Locke, then leaned into his ear and whispered,

"They're so weird, don't you think?"

"Normal people would think so."

Locke said, and cleverly avoided the attack of an uncle next to him.

【Body Coordination 4/1000】

Huh? Can this also be used to gain proficiency?

Locke got an extra surprise.

So he followed Hannah in a weird dance, and the two of them chatted while "dancing" with the crowd.

"I bet their photo will be on the front page of the Koselk Evening News tonight."

Hannah said seriously.

"Yeah, it's true."

Locke agreed, looking around to see if there were any reporters with cameras. In front of the bakery in the southeast direction, he actually saw a reporter with an excited face.
