Chapter 100: Do Abyss Demons Also Retain Their Charm?

【Merciful Evil Smile (Unique): When you grin with a crooked mouth, all your abilities will inevitably hit the target's face (effective against Unique Grade and below abilities).】

【(Concept Level) You are the ancient Greek god in charge of face-slapping; when you grin with a crooked mouth, after paying enough Magic Badge Stones, you will gain the means or identity to slap the other party.】

【Your crooked evil smile cannot be interfered with; even if your mouth is torn apart, it will still take effect.】

【Your crooked evil smile will inevitably take effect on the designated target; if necessary, it will even distort others' memories and perceptions.】

"My goodness, this... this ability is, is just too defying heaven." Lilith pulled out her little notebook, looking at the skill description in the manual, her throat bobbing: "So, so the trash our Goddess Race discarded, upon reaching the highest grade, can actually become such a defying heaven thing?"

She had an intuition that Li Cheng's investigation inside the gate this time might turn out to have a rather strange art style.

He was already born enough as it was, and now he has gained such a defying heaven ability...

Wouldn't that be directly born into defying heaven! "Rare." Li Cheng glanced at her, then used 500 Abyss Reputation to exchange for one hundred thousand Abyss Coins in the Abyss Stone Tablet, which is the currency in this Secret Realm.

This sum of money is his starting capital in this Secret Realm.

Using Abyss Reputation, which is hard to obtain, to exchange for Gold Coins is a very stupid thing to do.

But that is for Ordinary Players.

For an Evil Path Player like Li Cheng, this entire Secret Realm will be his hunting ground for obtaining Abyss Reputation.

This thing, he fundamentally does not lack.

After exchanging all the remaining Abyss Points for Alchemy, Enchanting, and Forging materials, Li Cheng turned his gaze back to the examinees.

One must say, Anli is indeed the Shadow Archbishop's son, extremely rich in leadership ability; in just this short while, he has already united several examinees and formulated the next plan of action.

Such quality, and a certain War God's Son who wears underwear on his head, are fundamentally not on the same level.

"Li Chengqing." Meeting his gaze, Anli also looked over: "We few have already made a plan, first split up nearby to find some simple jobs, obtain Profession Cards, pass the seven days carefully and cautiously, what do you think?"

"Hmm, this should be a small village on the outskirts of Fraud City, right." Li Cheng looked at the map beside the fountain: "According to common sense, if you want to get a better evaluation, you should go to the city center to find work, for example here."

Speaking, he pointed at the City Hall on the map.

The opening narration would not mention this place for no reason; the City Hall is definitely an important place.

"Li Chengqing, what you say is not wrong, but the closer to the city center, the greater the Secret Realm's difficulty naturally is; this time the Secret Realm difficulty is too high." Anli shook his head: "The risk is too great."

"Additionally, the next carriage heading to the city center is tomorrow morning, plus we currently have no Abyss Realm currency, so even if you want to get a high evaluation in the Secret Realm, I also suggest working in this small town for one or two days first, save up some money, observe a bit."

"If we confirm there is no danger, going to the City Hall then won't be late either."

"That's right, Lady Anli is correct."

"This is the optimal solution!"

Even the Saintess of Order Nalan Yu couldn't help but nod, her gaze toward Anli full of admiration.

You must know, before entering the World Tree Gate, Anli had put down bold words, wanting to become someone who creates legends, creates history.

But after entering inside the gate, he was instead able to quickly recognize reality, not seeking grand achievements, not carried away by face and desire, but planning step by step, incomparably calm.

In such a dangerous environment, still able to make rational judgments, and plan the next actions well.

Anli is indeed the Shadow Sect's youngest steward.

In contrast, Li Cheng, although also a genius, has not recognized reality clearly, having a mysterious confidence in his own strength.

Even if you got first place in the first two rounds, so what?

Not to mention you used the kind of underhanded means like attacking an Examiner in the second round.

Just talking about this third round, this is a Fourth Rank SSS Grade Secret Realm; the slightest carelessness, and it's eternal damnation!

What do those glories, that strength, count for in front of this Secret Realm? Nalan Yu's evaluation of Li Cheng in her heart couldn't help but drop a few notches.

"How about it, Li Chengqing." Anli smiled and extended a hand toward Li Cheng: "Stay and join us."

He actually very much hoped Li Cheng could stay; after all, when Li Cheng pretended to be the Chief Examiner and punched the Three-Faced Monster Ball flying with one fist, Anli was hiding behind him.

He knows very well Li Cheng's combat power; with such a boost, the subsequent Secret Realm exploration would be much easier.

Moreover, Anli also believes that with Li Cheng's IQ, he would definitely be able to figure out that following the main force together is the safest, most secure method.

"Hmm, your idea is not bad." Li Cheng nodded.

"Then?" Anli smiled.

"But I refuse."

"What?" The smile on Anli's face came to an abrupt halt.

"I have more important things to do."

Before he could react to what happened, Li Cheng was already jogging all the way toward the carriage parked by the roadside.

"He, what is he doing?" An examinee doubted: "He wouldn't be planning to take the carriage to the City Hall right now, would he?"

"That is fundamentally not the carriage to the City Hall, that is..." Nalan Yu bit her lip, her ear roots hot, whispering: "Lust Worm."

That's right, the carriage Li Cheng rushed toward was none other than the soliciting carriage carrying the beast-eared young ladies.

Lilith's eyes also stared straight, floating behind Li Cheng: "No, Dragon Enterer, although that beast-eared young lady is indeed quite lewd, you don't have to be this desperate, right? You already have Tata and Liuli!"

But Li Cheng acted as if he heard nothing, walking straight to the front of the carriage, locking eyes with the beast-eared young lady waving a handkerchief on the carriage.

The young lady saw Li Cheng, her eyes instantly brightened, salivating as she licked her lips: "Little brother, want to come up and play?"

"Do you want to try saliva chicken, hand-torn chicken, or kung pao chicken?"

"As long as you're willing to pay, I'm willing to do anything~"

"Really willing to do anything?" Li Cheng asked.

"Of course~" The young lady smiled radiantly.

"Good." Li Cheng nodded: "Then you send me to the City Hall now." "Sure thing, little brother come inside, I'll draw you a bath... wait, what did you say?" The beast-eared young lady froze halfway through.

"I said, have you send me to the City Hall."

"No, little brother, this is a courtesan carriage, we also have professional ethics, we're not a transport carriage, you doing this puts me in a difficult spot—"

Before the words fell, a bag slammed heavily in front of the young lady.

The gleam of Gold Coins flashed from the bag's opening.

Such a huge bag, at least several thousand pieces.

"Still difficult?"

Beast-eared young lady:...

She froze.

After working all these years, this is still the first time she's seen someone pull out a bag of gold coins to make her a shuttle bus.

Joke, we courtesans also have professional ethics.

Don't tell me you think that just because you produce a bag of gold coins, you can make yourself do anything?

Don't tell me you think courtesans have no dignity? That with money, you can do whatever you want? Heh, you really misjudged me.

At this moment, the beast-eared young lady lowered her head, nails digging into flesh, two plump juicy legs trembling, as if enduring something.

Next second.

Only to see the beast-eared young lady suddenly lower her head, kneeling beside the carriage in a standard kowtow, a sweet and charming smile on her lips: "Please get in, young brother, we'll depart now, destination City Hall~"

"Does young brother need fruit? Want juice?"

What morality and dignity, those things are only precious when they can't be monetized.

Such a huge bag of gold coins is enough for her to stay busy in this carriage for half a month, let alone just dragging Li Cheng to City Hall, she'd even be willing to give him oral all the way!

As for professional ethics, one can only say...

This young brother really reads people well~ As for what the beast-eared young lady was thinking, Li Cheng didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

He, Li Cheng, is an upright gentleman, and has zero interest in streetwalking flower girls.

Nagging Blood Clan and Downhead Dragon Girl, which one doesn't surpass her in mature charm?

Right now he only wants to reach City Hall at the fastest speed.

Arrive there one step earlier, intervene in the plot one step earlier, spread great love one step earlier, obtain blessing one step earlier.

All of that is Zhen's, Zhen's!

Thinking like this, he climbed into the carriage.

With a "giddyup," the carriage rolled away. — On the other side, the remaining few candidates were already stunned silly.

TMD this works too?

They never expected that Li Cheng running up to a streetwalking flower girl would actually be to have her carry him to City Hall.

Seriously, is your brain circuit different from ordinary people?

And that huge bag of Abyss coins.

Where did this guy get it from?

Are you the Abyss's illegitimate child? If you'd said earlier you had this many coins, why would we plan to work in the Border Town? Following you, Boss Li, to City Hall, wouldn't that be great?

For a moment, the few candidates all fell silent.

They looked at each other, then looked at Anli, suddenly feeling like they'd "followed the wrong boss."

Li Cheng's move: low damage, maximum insult.

Anli was equally bewildered.

He never imagined the story would develop in this direction.

By normal logic, this round of the exam, shouldn't he rely on his own personality charm to gradually win over the candidates, become their pillar, make a name for himself? How did he get money-crit right from the start?

Nalan Yu clenched her fist, regulating her breathing, she was equally shocked speechless.

Especially recalling her own quiet mutter of "lust worm" just now, her ear roots burned hot.

Li Cheng clearly wasn't thinking in that direction at all.

It was her overthinking.

But things have come to this, what's done is done, overthinking further has no meaning.

Order Saintess sighed: "Our plan doesn't change, continue finding work in the Border Town, everything for stability, just need to safely pass these seven days."

"Right, heh, everything for stability." Anli also smiled stiffly.

"Yeah yeah, Li Cheng going alone to a place like City Hall, who knows what danger he might run into!"

"Exactly exactly, who knows, maybe our evaluation from working here will end up higher in the end."

"Correct, heh."

The crowd walked toward the roadside shops chatting and laughing.

Only this morale, who knows how much lower than the start.

The atmosphere, also growing more and more strange.
