Chapter 295: Chapter 295: The Tip of the Iceberg of Wealth
"His possession skill, in essence, is the act of invading someone else's body with his own will."
"In other words, what controls another person's body is his mind."
"So if I research a potion that causes this person's mind to collapse, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Qin Siyang was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
'A potion that can make someone's mind collapse?'
This sequence world still had too many things he didn't understand.
Li Tianming asked again, "Then how do you ensure that when he's controlling your body, he will drink this potion?"
"Of course, I can't guarantee it."
"Speaking of this, I was actually taking a gamble. I prepared three bottles of all my potions, and one of them was the Exorcism Potion."
"All the potion bottles look identical on the outside, only I know how to distinguish them."
"If I get controlled, as long as he wants to take my potion, there's a chance he will drink the Exorcism Potion."
"Of course, if he doesn't use my potions, then there's nothing I can do."
["Truth."]
Hao Liang shrugged, "But from what I know about Guo Jiuxiao, he has never thought much of me. He believes he knows my potions inside out."
"My guess was, if he really possessed me, he would definitely drink my potion."
Hao Liang said this and then smiled happily, "Lucky me, I bet correctly."
["Truth."]
Hao Liang recounted the whole event from start to finish.
Everyone around listened while pondering.
Li Tianming sighed, "It's really fortunate that Guo Jiuxiao picked Old Hao."
"If it had been someone else, they might have been helpless."
Wu Yu adjusted his glasses, "No one else would go to a dark alley alone just to buy cheap liquor."
"..."
Zhang Kuang shook his hair and yawned, "That Mirror World seemed like it could only trap Old Hao. Our abilities wouldn't be restricted in the same way."
"So Guo Jiuxiao must have had his eyes on Old Hao for a long time. Even if it wasn't this time sneaking off to buy booze, there would have been another time when he got caught peeing in the streets."
Li Tianming nodded, "Makes sense."
"Who peed in the streets? Old Zhang, don't you slander me!"
"I was just giving an example."
Li Tianming saw that everyone was clear of suspicion and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, since there are no issues, let's head back. By the way, Little Qin… hmm? Where did Little Qin go… Qin Siyang, why are you peeing in the streets?"
Qin Siyang shivered and chuckled, "What's the big deal? It's the wilderness outside the safe zone, anywhere is fair game. I just suddenly needed to go..."
["Lie."]
"..."
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just relieving myself…"
["Lie."]
The group immediately walked toward Qin Siyang, who was turned away while peeing.
"You little rascal, what are you up to?"
"Come on, you professors are really gonna spy on me while I pee?"
"Who wants to see you… wait, that red patch on the ground you just pissed on. What is it?"
Qin Siyang zipped up and laughed, "Nothing…"
Chang Tianxiong took a closer look and was shocked.
After carefully examining it, he muttered, "Could this be… Titan Foxtail Grass leaf fragments?"
"What?"
"Titan Foxtail Grass?"
Li Tianming immediately shoved Qin Siyang aside, squatted down while pinching his nose, and carefully examined the red leaf fragments.
"It really is… Titan Foxtail Grass?"
"Old Hao, come here! Among us, only you've obtained Titan Foxtail Grass fragments before. Take a look!"
Wu Yu and the others quickly gathered around.
Zhao Longfei also ran over, poking his scarred head forward for a look.
Hao Liang put on his gloves, picked up the bowl-sized fragment from the puddle of urine, and examined it thoroughly before nodding, "It is indeed Titan Foxtail Grass, and it's the most precious inner leaf."
Lu Daoxing swallowed hard, "Just this one piece, if it's unowned, would fetch at least two gold coins on the black market."
Zhao Longfei snorted, "Two gold coins? Titan Foxtail Grass is like the Heart of the Vine. It has a price but no market. No matter how much you offer, it's rarely seen."
["Truth."]
Chang Tianxiong said, "But just now, this brat established a contract with it using his pee."
Everyone immediately turned to look at Qin Siyang.
All with kind and gentle smiles.
"Little Qin."
Qin Siyang shuddered all over.
"W-what…"
"Where did you find this Titan Foxtail Grass?"
"I picked it up."
["Lie."]
"..."
Li Tianming spoke earnestly, "Little Qin, everyone risked their lives to come save you. Shouldn't you at least show some gratitude?"
"You won't even tell us where you got the Titan Foxtail Grass?"
The Titan Foxtail Grass inner leaf fragment Qin Siyang had taken out came from the belly of an Ice Crystal Moth.
Originally, he wanted to eat it to fill his stomach, but after recognizing it as Titan Foxtail Grass, he stored it in his backpack.
But seeing so many professors around, Qin Siyang felt that ownerless items were ultimately unsafe.
The moment the crisis was over, he immediately thought of the Titan Foxtail Grass in his backpack.
So while everyone's attention was elsewhere, he quickly pissed on it.
Establishing a contract with it.
Qin Siyang saw everyone's eyes glowing green while staring at him.
So he said, "I found it in a god's stomach."
"A god's stomach?"
"Yes, I killed a mid-sized god, and this Titan Foxtail Grass was in its stomach."
The group looked at the lie detector.
["Truth."]
"What mid-sized god?"
"I killed a Thunder Snow Wolf."
["Truth."]
Hearing the lie detector confirm his words, Qin Siyang smirked slightly in his heart.
'Hmph, just a brainless god-hunting tool, and you think you can outsmart me?'
It can only determine the truthfulness of a statement, but it can't judge the connection between sentences.
He did kill a Thunder Snow Wolf.
So the lie detector ruled it as the truth.
Although Thunder Snow Wolves were rare, in his storage box full of resources, it was just a minor side dish, not even worthy of the main course.
Silent wealth accumulation.
Of course, he threw out the least valuable one first.
"A Thunder Snow Wolf?"
"You killed a Thunder Snow Wolf?"
Qin Siyang nodded, "My navigation system broke down during my fight with the Thunder Snow Wolf."
"The battle marks you saw were also left from that fight."
["Truth."]
Li Tianming's eyes lit up, "Where's the Thunder Snow Wolf's body?"
"In my storage box."
"Storage box? The one Old Lu gave you?"
"Yes."
"Let me take a look."
Qin Siyang warily eyed Li Tianming, "No."
Li Tianming suddenly grinned coldly, "Then don't blame me. Old Lu, you made the storage box. Open it up!"
Lu Daoxing scratched his garlic-shaped nose, "Old Li… that storage box has a unique lock. Right now, only Qin Siyang can open it."
["Truth."]
Hearing the lie detector's response, Qin Siyang breathed a sigh of relief.
'Safe!'
The box could only be opened by him, meaning everything inside was secure.
Professor Lu was indeed a decent man. He took the money and did the job honestly.
Qin Siyang then sneered at Li Tianming.
'Tsk.'
'What a joke.'
