Chapter 67: Seven-Day Ghost-Seeing Talisman
Lou Xiaoe blushed and cursed "you stinking hooligan," then softly said "goodbye," and ran out without looking back.
Xu Damao, still writhing on the ground, saw Lou Xiaoe running out with a flushed face and felt even more miserable in an instant. Could that damned Zhao Gangzi have bullied his beloved woman?
"Damn you to hell, Zhao Gangzi, I, Xu Damao, will never share the same sky as you in this life!" Xu Damao clutched his crotch and barked like a mad dog.
"Silly Mao,"
Zhao Gangzi leaned on the windowsill, looked at the rolling Xu Damao, and laughed, "What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with Lou Xiaoe. Besides, she doesn't like you either, so stop making a fool of yourself!"
Although Zhao Gangzi's words were harsh, they were blunt but true; Xu Damao was currently good for nothing, and his reputation at the Rolling Mill was no better than Shazhu's.
Not only did Lou Xiaoe look down on him, but even Lou Bancheng wouldn't necessarily give him a second glance.
But Xu Damao didn't think so.
He thought of his own "red roots and upright seedlings" background—what kind of class was the Lou Family? They were the sort of people everyone wanted to beat! It was a blessing for the Lou Family that he, the great man, could take a fancy to Lou Xiaoe!
Hmph, otherwise, he would report them in a heartbeat!
"Oh my, Pillar, what happened to you again?"
Yi Zhonghai's voice came over.
Xu Damao was doing a bit better, having only been kicked by Shazhu, which was a common occurrence anyway, but Shazhu's current situation was not optimistic.
He was lying on the ground with his butt in the air, and a little red fountain was spraying incessantly; if Yi Zhonghai had arrived any later, he might have bled to death.
"Zhao Gangzi! Do you have any compassion at all? Pillar is hurt like this, don't you know how to help?"
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly carried Shazhu on his back to head home, not forgetting to curse Zhao Gangzi before leaving.
Zhao Gangzi was amused; this old black dog really couldn't change his ways, dragging him into everything. He sneered, "Old Yi, don't think you're still the First Uncle you once were. Besides, what does Shazhu's business have to do with me?"
"If you, First Uncle, were to kick the bucket at home one day, I might even be able to send you a box..."
Yi Zhonghai's face turned ashen upon hearing this, but as Zhao Gangzi said, the current Yi Zhonghai posed almost no threat to Zhao Gangzi; not only was the man living a prosperous life, but he was also a favorite at the Rolling Mill.
Even the matter of Yi Zhonghai being fired from the Rolling Mill had a lot to do with Zhao Gangzi whispering in Yang Feng's ear.
"Received 1000 Hatred Value points from Yi Zhonghai..."
The system prompted again.
"Hmph, leave a line of retreat in everything so we can meet again in the future. We'll see!" Yi Zhonghai spat out a vicious threat.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai's departing back, Zhao Gangzi couldn't help but sneer. If there was anyone in the entire Siheyuan who hated him the most, it was undoubtedly Yi Zhonghai.
And he had made him suffer the most, sending him to prison and causing him to lose all his family wealth. Apart from the late Deaf Old Lady who had been executed and Jia Zhangshi who was in prison, this was the only old dog left.
"Hehe..."
Zhao Gangzi suddenly let out an evil laugh, which instantly startled Xu Damao so much that he clutched his crotch and ran away.
At the same time, a strange thought sprouted in Xu Damao's mind.
Lou Bancheng wanted to recruit a son-in-law to move into his home, and it would be best if the children born also took the surname Lou to inherit the Lou Family's mantle. If he could frame Zhao Gangzi as a eunuch who couldn't perform, wouldn't that solve everything?
Then Lou Bancheng would have to choose him, regardless of whether Lou Xiaoe was willing or not.
Zhao Gangzi naturally didn't know what was in Xu Damao's mind. For him, only two things were urgent right now: one was the newly acquired Bicycle Ticket—he couldn't wait to go out and pick up the bike right now; this was equivalent to a luxury vehicle in later generations!
If he rode this out, absolutely one hundred percent of women would turn their heads!
The second was the matter of Yi Zhonghai. Because of the previous incident, this old thing was much better behaved now, and one couldn't even pick a fault with him.
This meant Zhao Gangzi had no way to target him further.
Last time, the First Aunt had given him money to make him forgive Yi Zhonghai, which was purely to repay the First Aunt's favor. Now that the favor was repaid, it was time to continue collecting Hatred Value!
"Sigh, fortunately I'm not a good person, otherwise I'd feel a bit guilty doing this!"
Zhao Gangzi curled his lips into a mocking smile, then flicked his finger, and the System Panel appeared before him again. Looking at the large amount of Hatred Value displayed on the panel, he opened the Mall interface without a second thought.
In addition to the awesome weapons he had seen before, many Prank Props had been automatically developed, each with different effects, such as the Fire Talisman, Ice Talisman, Diarrhea Talisman, Broken Back Talisman, and so on...
"Hmm, I didn't expect to have this kind of prop! This is the one," Zhao Gangzi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pressed the exchange button.
Seven-Day Ghost-Seeing Talisman!
Its effect was just like its name: it had the effect of seeing ghosts at night. However, these ghosts weren't real; they were illusions created by the Talisman.
Or one could say it was similar to having a nightmare, only this was more realistic, and one could even feel the pain!
It was definitely a sharp tool for pranking people!
As for the validity period, it lasted for seven days, and the effect would automatically expire when the time was up.
The price wasn't too expensive, just eight hundred Hatred Value points, which was a drop in the bucket for Zhao Gangzi.
"Micro Surveillance Ball, almost forgot about this treasure,"
Zhao Gangzi slapped his forehead and then summoned this great treasure. A transparent light ball slowly rotated above the Siheyuan, and the surveillance screen shifted to the Middle Courtyard.
However, Yi Zhonghai was currently in Shazhu's house, and the surveillance ball couldn't penetrate walls. Zhao Gangzi hardened his heart and spent another 1000 Hatred Value to exchange for a Perspective Talisman, wanting to see if it would work on the surveillance.
As expected, this Talisman could actually be attached to the surveillance ball!
Instantly, the situation in Shazhu's house became clear.
At this moment, Shazhu was lying on the bed with a painful expression, while Yi Zhonghai was using a towel to wipe the blood off Shazhu.
"It's all that Xu Damao's fault. Just wait, when I recover, I'll definitely kick his balls to pieces!" Shazhu couldn't help but curse.
"That Zhao Gangzi isn't a good thing either. Our entire Siheyuan has suffered because of him; he has no morals at all!"
Yi Zhonghai also flared up, and the force in his hand suddenly increased, instantly making Shazhu yelp in pain, as if there were a burning hot iron ball on his butt.
His eyes flashed with an inexplicable malice, much like the look in the Deaf Old Lady's eyes back then.
"Godfather, go easy, you're killing me with pain, ouch..."
Shazhu was lying down and couldn't see Yi Zhonghai's current expression at all, but Zhao Gangzi, who was monitoring, saw it clearly. Zhao Gangzi, who had been slightly hesitant, directly crushed the Seven-Day Ghost-Seeing Talisman in his hand, and a wisp of black energy slowly drifted out.
It drifted slowly through the window toward Shazhu's house across the way. Yi Zhonghai, who was currently wiping Shazhu's blood, suddenly shuddered, and an inexplicable sense of fear welled up in his heart.
Following that, he trembled again, almost causing secondary damage to Shazhu's hemorrhoids.
