Chapter 180: This Kid is Trying to Kill Me
He couldnt figure out how a great goddess like her used ordinary pots and pans to make something as terrible as this.
This thing is poisonous!
Seeing the dark green smoke wafting out of the basin that seemed to form a skull, he couldnt help but gulp, Do I really have to eat this?
Just eat it, damn it! she pouted as she returned to her spot on the sofa.
Ah, um, listen, I know you made this because of what happenedst night, and Im not an unreasonable person, but
If you want me to eat this, you probably want me killed, right?
How about this? he suggested. Ill do the cooking; after my sses, Ill buy some ingredients and cook.
Hmph!
What do you want to eat? As long as I can get the ingredients, Ill make it.
For real?
Yes. Itll taste better than boba, I promise.
Hearing this, Jumeng couldnt help but smile and say, Forget it! I forgive you! If you apologise, Ill consider it over.
Me? Apologise? However, looking at the basin in front of him, he felt hesitant to speak.
Forget it; I know you young people find it hard to apologise, so you can just apologise in your heart! By the way, there are four dishes, one soup, and one dessert. I dont care that much about human food!
No problem, Yibei smiled. Also, could you help me with something?
Speak!
If youre free, could you copy the memories of the cores that you ate? It will be useful to me.
Although Lu Xus core contains the blood of a corrupted god, if it was swallowed by a goddess and she seems fine, it should be fine as well.
Furthermore, when I spoke with her previously, she mentioned that there was a discrepancy in Professor Mas projects content.
Since the headless girl didnt have any memories of Lu Xu, all of the memories must be with Jumeng!
It should be easy to connect the two once she finds that old man with the colourful shawl in her memories, too!
Why are you suddenly interested in that kids memories? Jumeng asked, suspicious.
I took his ce recently, and I am helping my professor continue his research. I need his memory very much.
Jumeng knew that he could lie with a straight face, so she checked the imprint on her palm. Seeing that it didnt glow, she dispelled her suspicions and shrugged: Alright then. No problem!
No matter what hes trying to do, it isnt breaching our contract. Who cares if he dies?
And even if he dies, she could easily revive him and, at worst, turn him into a monster.
Copying it down isnt the best choice, however, Jumeng revealed. First of all, its troublesome. Secondly, it is time-consuming for you to fully master his knowledge, so I suggest you use other methods.
Like?
Jumeng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. You may not know this, but many high-ranking urban legends, after swallowing a core, have special means to transfer the cores memories and pass them onto others.
So, youre telling me you can just give me his memories? Hurry then!
If he directly obtained Lu Xus memories, things would be much easier than studying whatever Jumeng copied down.
Thats impossible, Jumeng sighed. Youre just a human being. If I do that and you encounter somethingplex, you might go crazy right in front of me.
<i>I already am crazy, though. Just the other day, I was chatting with a sales attendant at the lipstick section of the pharmacy, and we wereughing and chatting about our favourite products. I got her phone number though!</i> He thought.
Although it is dangerous, if there is somebody kind (me) and powerful (me) who can help you make special potions, this wouldnt be an issue.
Jumeng spoke in vague terms since she herself wasnt sure of the logistics behind it. However, being the tree that inherited Jumangs power, she has knowledge that ordinary people can never reach. In terms of making potions, she is able to do so proficiently.
But if you dont have the money, itll be hard! Even somebody like me cant afford the raw materials!
After she spoke, she rubbed her index finger and thumb together towards Yibei, making an intentional gesture.
If you want to extort my money, just say it! You dont have toe up with such wild stories!
Im doing this for your own good! And it doesnt even cost that much! Its all to protect that tiny, little human brain of yours!
Yibei cursed inwardly, fully knowing she spent all her money on video games, spending it all on gacha. He still remembers how she wailed when she didnt obtain the character she wanted.
Fine, when Ie back at night, Ill buy the materials. What do you need?
He figured this was the best-case scenario. This way, nobody would know his true intentions for obtaining Lu Xus memories.
Lets see, I need Jumeng said, and she suddenly smiled. Actually, you dont need to do all that. I know somebody, and we have a special channel. It is much cheaper than buying it yourself, so you just need to
Give you the money.
See? Youre getting it! she praised, cupping her hands towards Yibei.
Yibei sneered, took out his wallet, and ced his bank card in her hands: Make sure you swipe the card when the timees!
Thank you! Jumeng patted his shoulders. When the timees, Ill make sure you remember everythingfrom his research down to his girlfriends favourite pose Ill make sure you know everything!
Ah alright
It was fine if she didnt leave out details like that. Being somebody from Gen Z, watching drama and gossip sustains the soul.
After being handed the bank card with a bnce of no more than 1,000 yuan, he put on his backpack and left. Before he could reach the gate of the University, however, a series of texts were sent to his phone.
[You have withdrawn 400 yuan from your ount. Summary: Personal ount transfer.]
[You have withdrawn 500 Summary: Personal ount transfer.]
[500 Summary: Personal ount transfer.]
What the hell? She already exceeded my credit limit!
[2000 Summary: Dungeon and Heroes Coupon Recharge]
[2000 Summary: Dungeon and Hero Coupon Recharge]
[2000]
What the fuck?
He didnt know how Jumeng managed to syphon tens of thousands of dors out of a bank card with a bnce of less than 1,000 yuan! There must be a way for urban legends to do so, but he knew that if he didnt do anything, hed be in big trouble.
Without a second thought, he immediately took out his phone and logged onto his bank, filled out a form, and restricted consumption of the card. Plus, he transferred 90% of his deposit to the expiration date.
Soon, the string of transactions finally stopped.
Hah! Not even a goddess can withstand the power of technology! Ill deal with her bitch ass once I get back!
Meanwhile, at Jingyi Apartments.
Kekekeke
Seeing all of her coupons being recharged, she couldnt help but let out an evilugh.
With these coupons, Ill be able to dumpster those noobs like nothing! All thanks to that sucker who gave me his card, hah! This is like an endless offering to a goddess!
One more coupon, I need to What? Why cant I
Seeing that she had failed to recharge her coupons, she was stunned. She re-entered the password and tried to do so again, only to see the imprint on the back of her hand glowing.
The imprint frequently lit upevery time she woulde out of the shower or whenever the slit of her dress would reveal her thigh too much. The mark will always glow lightly.
However, in broad daylight, the imprint of her hand was dazzling and blinding, and she couldnt help but shiver.
A shiny magpie flew into Lu Yibeis unit through the window and found Jumeng sitting on the balcony.
The goddess was smoking a cigarette, and she looked at the sky with a solemn expression.
The magpiended on her shoulder and tilted its head: Mistress! I brought you something! Its-
O Little Magpie, I feel that I have reached a hurdle I cannot cross. Im afraid that kid wants to kill me.
Oh? Didnt you say that you had formed an alliance with him and that it was amicable and fruitful? What did you do?
Well, I was just using his bank card to recharge my video game credits Isnt he being too stingy to a goddess?
The magpie was silent, but all it could think of was, You deserved it!
