Thomas stared at the descriptions, dumbfounded. “This is pushing me towards villainy! This is… evil!” Then, a mischievous grin spread across his face. “But I love it!”
He was most excited about the Hire Staff feature. Sorting through the mountain of loot had been overwhelming. He desperately needed help. The two armories’ worth of weapons still filled a third of the first level, along with two-thirds of the shooting range. Other supplies were piled in his living quarters or remained in his inventory, too bulky to store comfortably. He hadn’t had time to organize everything.
Hire Staff offered a solution. Now, he just needed to choose candidates.
He opened the Owned Properties tab, a new feature in Super Monopoly. It listed all his properties: Garden Station, Ram Station, Crimson Cabaret, White Tower Park, City Hospital, and Trading Center. All were level 2, each with a unique perk. “So, properties level up after each calamity.”
