Chapter 309: He can steal, why can't we?

He can steal, why can't we?

When you pretend to be crazy to fool someone, and it turns out the person on the other side is a real lunatic, what is that feeling?

Cheng Shi now vaguely had this feeling.

Oh no, I overdid the fooling, and fooled out that bit of madness in Baldy's heart.

But it doesn't matter, because this was originally a big play, and if the actors aren't crazy, they can't get on stage at all.

So Cheng Shi maintained his mysterious smile, first put away the fate token, and then looked at Xiang Honglin, saying word by word:

"I'll take that as a yes. When we win this bet, this die belongs to you."

Xiang Honglin wasn't fooled into a limp. She didn't let Cheng Shi continue to paint big pictures, but curled her lips and said:

"Cheng Shi, you have to know, embracing a second faith isn't decided by the 'Him' who hasn't become a Patron yet, but requires the consent of my Patron, 【Prosperity】.

Even if I get the Fated One's die after this, 【Prosperity】 might not necessarily agree to let me step onto the path of 【Fate】.

The reason I'm interested in the Fated Ones is because there's a friend like you in this organization, and coincidentally you're also a bit interesting, that's all."

"Then should I thank this friendship first?"

"Tsk, say something useful." Xiang Honglin was slightly disgusted by Cheng Shi's fake smile.

Cheng Shi nodded, his expression turning serious:

"Are you afraid of death?"

Xiang Honglin frowned: "This is a boring question. Not to mention whether I, blessed by 【Prosperity】, will die, if you want me to fight Oupusika to the death, then I can tell you, if the enemy is only it, I won't die, so naturally, I'm not afraid."

"No, no, no, you thought wrong. Our current plan has nothing to do with the battle against Oupusika. If you are sure you want to join, I can tell you the truth!"

A flash of hesitation crossed Xiang Honglin's eyes, but after that flash of hesitation, there was no more struggle on her face.

Cheng Shi understood in his heart and laid out the plan without any hesitation.

"I think just correcting the mushroom-foots' faith doesn't count as a prairie fire."

Xiang Honglin frowned without interrupting.

"A tribe of hundreds of people in this vast forest cannot be considered large in terms of quantity or area, so naturally, it cannot match the theme of 'prairie fire'.

But we also can't find more mushroom-foots to believe in 【Prosperity】. After all, they believe in 【Prosperity】 and not 【Birth】, so it's impossible to breed a bunch of new mushroom-foots in just a few days.

What's more, the 【Prosperity】 in their eyes now is actually Oupusika. The more this kind of faith exists, the more blasphemy against 【Prosperity】 there is.

So this definitely won't be the answer.

So I thought of another point. Do you think it's possible that your 'hard-hearted' Patron doesn't need these hundreds or thousands of believers?

Or rather, is the prairie fire She wants not a salvation at all, but a...

Revenge?"

"!!!"

Xiang Honglin was shocked. She hadn't stopped being shocked from just now until now. She widened her eyes, seemingly having suddenly guessed Cheng Shi's plan, and exclaimed in disbelief:

"You mean... stealing the house?"

Cheng Shi laughed and gave a thumbs up:

"Well said! That's stealing the house!

Since Oupusika stole 【Prosperity】's power through faith grafting, why can't we use the same means to steal 【Decay】's power?

Think about it, there are too many 【Decay】 believers in this Sighing Forest, especially at night, even the trees and grass will come alive and become His believers. If we can graft these faiths onto a 【Prosperity】 believer, then, does this count as lighting a fire of 'revenge'!?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Honglin believed it!

Because she knew 【Prosperity】 was indeed such a God. Whether from the game or from historical scraps, one could find that She almost couldn't tolerate betrayal, so every oath-breaker who betrayed the faith received Her fierce curse and punishment!

But... wait!

The 【Prosperity】 believer Cheng Shi mentioned who has to endure faith grafting...

Could it be herself?

Xiang Honglin was stunned for a moment. She remembered Cheng Shi's question just now: Are you afraid of death?

"..."

I really wasn't afraid, but you really want me to die!!!

Her expression stiffened, she looked at Cheng Shi with a heavy gaze, suppressed the urge to beat someone up, and gritted her teeth:

"No 【Decay】 believer will believe in 【Prosperity】, let alone a believer of 【Prosperity】 believing in 【Prosperity】. I admit your analysis has some logic, but this plan is impossible..."

Before she could finish, Xiang Honglin shut up.

Because she watched Cheng Shi take out a contract from behind him!

That contract signed between Oupusika and the mushroom-foots had been snatched and hidden on his body at some point!

"You..."

Cheng Shi said with a straight face:

"What about me?

Such a precious thing was just left casually in Oupusika's vegetable patch. What if it got lost?

I'm just keeping it for it!

And it's free, sigh, I really am a great philanthropist."

Xiang Honglin was angered to laughter by Cheng Shi's righteous appearance. She said unhappily:

"Do you also have to help it correct it? Fix the typos?"

"Clap clap clap!" Cheng Shi applauded directly in admiration, "Baldy, you really are an expert. Yes, we have to help it fix the typos!

I just need to change the mushroom-foots on this contract to Twisted Night Pythons, and change this Oupusika to your name, Baldy...

And then disguise you as an envoy of 【Decay】. Look, if you draw a tiger based on a cat, doesn't it work?"

At this, Xiang Honglin's smile froze.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, seemingly struggling to stay away from this arrangement of "fate."

"Not to mention whether you can change such a mysterious contract involving faith, let's just talk about the word 'believe' in faith. How can you achieve it?

The mushroom-foots believe in Oupusika because they were deceived by the first patriarch, but what about us?

What method do you have to deceive the countless Twisted Night Pythons in this Sighing Forest?

Acting? Disguise? Advertising?

They aren't stupid. They can tell whether the aura on me is 【Prosperity】 or 【Decay】.

So this method simply won't work..."

Again, before she could finish, Xiang Honglin shut up.

Because she watched Cheng Shi take out a stone radiating endless 【Decay】 power from behind him!

The thick, opposing faith aura on this stone made her almost think of the 【Decay】 believer pilgrimage site standing deep in the Sighing Forest!

"This is!!??"

She suddenly looked up at Cheng Shi, only to see Cheng Shi happily say:

"Stone of the Final Tomb, a stone enough to erode all the 【Prosperity】 on your body and then disguise you as an 'envoy who came out of there'!"

Yes, Stone of the Final Tomb!

When Cheng Shi heard the name of the Septic Final Tomb, he associated it with the origin of the stone in his hand, but he didn't expect that the Tower of Rationality had long ago penetrated deep into the Sighing Forest and even dug out the stone under the tombstone.

However, this makes it even easier to infer one thing: the Tower of Rationality's understanding of the Sighing Forest is far deeper than he had previously imagined.

And this precisely explains that the existence of the mushroom-foots is very likely an experiment protected by 【Truth】!

Xiang Honglin had perhaps more shocks today than in the past month. She took two deep breaths and said seriously:

"You have also been in there and seen that Septic Final Tomb!? Or has someone among the Fated Ones been in there?"

Hearing this question, Cheng Shi smiled secretly in his heart.

If Serius counts as a Fated One, then maybe the Fated Ones really have been in there.

But this scholar is not a member of the Fated Ones, although his fate was indeed written into history, but the Fated Ones... are all alive.

"No rush for this question, you'll know later.

So Baldy, I'll ask you one more time, are you afraid of death?"

Xiang Honglin frowned, her expression somewhat complex.

"Are you sure you can change the content of this contract?"

Me?

Cheng Shi shook his head in his heart. I definitely can't, but just because I can't doesn't mean my mouth can't!

As the know-it-all of the Continent of Hope, Mouth Brother must definitely know how to change this contract. So, long before tricking Xiang Honglin and 【Fate】, even when he first got the contract, Cheng Shi had already asked.

After being bombarded to the point of annoyance, the Lips of Foolish Play told Cheng Shi a way to easily erase the contract, which is...

Go beg the Tongue of Lying!

It told Cheng Shi that the Tongue of Lying could directly eat the names of both parties to the contract because this contract itself was also a scam and still within the edible range!

What a range of edibility!

So the Tongue of Lying was really eating lies, and the reason it licked people was actually to lick away the lies on them?

When he heard this, Cheng Shi immediately knew he had guessed one thing right: the Lips of Foolish Play really had a relationship with the Tongue of Lying!

So, what exactly is the relationship between Mouth Brother and this new tongue?

It couldn't be...

Um... it's not illegal to just think about it, right? ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
