Chapter 225: Fraudster
Chapter 225: Fraudster
Seeing Xiao Qianchuan silent, they were afraid that he had fallen into some maze again, so they hurriedly talked to him, trying to get his attention back.
"Yes, yes, yes! This man has such fragile bones that he looks like he will die young. Let's stay away from him to avoid being infected by his bad luck."
After hearing what Lanbo said, Feiliu felt it made sense.
"Brother, we won't play with him anymore. The clay figures you made are so beautiful, how can they look like him? This one looks like him."
As he said that, Feiliu snatched the pile of mud that looked like dog shit from Lanbo's hand and threw it in front of Trist.
Xiao Qianchuan frowned and pinched his thigh.
He had to hold back and not laugh.
"hiss……"
Officer Ling beside him suddenly took a breath. Xiao Qianchuan lowered his head and realized that he had pinched the wrong thigh.
No wonder he doesn't feel any pain!
After letting go of his hand awkwardly, Xiao Qianchuan rubbed that place again apologetically.
But this rub made the other person's face even uglier.
"I……"
"Do not move."
Officer Ling's face was now more tense than his. Xiao Qianchuan wanted to pull his hand back, but now he had no choice but to leave it there and didn't dare to leave.
Drizzt saw all the little movements of the two people in front of him. He went from confusion to shock to understanding.
Have these two people developed to this point?
No wonder the key NPC has such a good relationship with them and is so hostile to them.
It turns out that this man was the one who was whispering in my ear!
He was hit on the back of his hand and it was excruciatingly painful. The five fingers of his right hand were completely unable to move. He was afraid that the metacarpal bones were broken.
Drizzt gritted his teeth and threatened.
"Doctor Ling is really fearless. He actually dared to blatantly violate hospital regulations and beat me up."
Ling Rizhao glanced at his hand with dislocated joints, frowned, and said calmly.
"I did, but I didn't hit you."
"Huh?" Trist stopped pretending.
He had originally intended to stay and show his goodwill to these players, and to improve the favor of key NPCs. But now it seemed that these guys were simply stupid and unreasonable.
"The wound on my hand is evidence that you beat me. The head nurse should not have gone far."
After saying that, Trist stood up and walked out, and a hand suddenly rested on his shoulder.
He couldn't move even a step.
He wanted to turn his head, but the other hand was on the top of his head.
At this moment, his scalp went numb, and a bone-chilling chill flowed through his whole body along the cold hand.
Drizzt had no doubt that if he dared to move again, the hand would crush his head.
His lips trembled, and it took him a long time to find his voice.
"You...what do you want to do?"
Knowing that Officer Ling was honest and kind-hearted at heart, and that he would not do anything too extreme even if he was angered, Lan Bo approached him and threatened him.
"Doctor Ling said he didn't do it. Don't you understand? Do you really want us to kill him to silence him?"
Drizzt's legs and feet were weak, but his shoulders were clamped so tightly that he couldn't even make a move to slide down.
"Understood, I understand."
Seeing that Trist was finally scared, Xiao Qianchuan patted Officer Ling's arm. But Officer Ling did not let go and asked instead.
"How did you complete the side quest?"
Upon hearing this, Trist immediately realized that he had been betrayed.
He was furious and really didn't understand what was wrong with these players.
Shi Dise's hard approach won't work, and he won't respond to soft approaches either.
What's wrong with them?
The original plan was for Shi Dishe to provoke first, then use the loser Xiao Ma to gain sympathy, and finally pretend to turn against him to gain the other party's trust.
Now their soft and hard tactics are useless. Not only have all their plans been disrupted, but their information has also been trapped.
He really shot himself in the foot.
Now his life is in someone's hands, there is no other way but to speak up.
Drizzt sighed heavily, "Hey! Let go first."
After he said this, the hand on his shoulder became even tighter, and it hurt so much that he almost cried.
"It hurts, it hurts! I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
The force on his shoulders relaxed a little, and Drizzt spoke.
"The side quest given by the system is to comfort the patients. But the patients we see now are very calm and don't need to be comforted at all. That's because the nurses forced them to take drugs containing sedatives. So as long as they don't take the medicine, the patient's symptoms will show up."
"The symptoms of patients in the mental hospital may be similar, but the causes are varied, and the methods of comforting them are also varied. This dungeon branch requires in-depth communication with NPCs, and communication skills are very important. Only when you know the cause of the disease can you prescribe the right medicine to comfort them."
Drizzt looked troubled.
"I spent a whole day talking until my lips were almost worn out, and only then did I learn the cause of illness for six patients. I haven't even started talking to the others yet, so I really have no clues right now."
Xiao Qianchuan glanced at Ling Rizhao, who immediately understood and then asked.
"What is your innate skill?"
Drizzt's shoulders collapsed completely, and half of his shoulder was in pain again.
"Hiss... You noticed it just now. I won't hide it. The reason why I was able to complete the side quest so quickly is because my innate skill can easily gain others' favor and trust. In fact, it is more like an identity label, called a trickster."
Fraudster?
Xiao Qianchuan understood. No wonder he couldn't tell whether the other party was lying or not.
It turns out I encountered a scam master.
Trist: "My father was involved in pyramid schemes, and my mother was a telephone fraudster. I was influenced by them since I was a child, and I inherited almost all of their advantages. My natural skills are all in this mouth that can make people die. But it's not easy to make money with just your mouth. Later, I became an online anchor, and I could earn a month's salary for others in one night. Especially the top brother, he especially doted on me..."
"and many more……"
Lanbo looked around with disdain at the dry, ordinary-looking man in front of him.
"Who will watch you... Hey? Live broadcast at night? You won't dress up as a woman and do a live broadcast?"
Fei Liu tilted his head and looked at Lan Bo, "What are you wiping?"
Lanbo regretted what he said as soon as he said it, and quickly pushed Feiliu's face away.
"Children, don't ask so many questions."
He pointed his index finger at Drizzt, with a warning in mind.
"Forget it! You don't have to answer the question just now. I don't want to hear it. We are not interested in your mental journey. Just get to the point."
There was still some disappointment on Trist's face.
"Hey! It's been a long time since I told the truth so readily. Please let me finish!"
After saying that, he didn't care whether Lanbo agreed or not, and continued to talk on his own.
"After that number one guy on the list found out that I was dressed as a woman, he sneaked into my house and killed me. Then I entered the game. I told so many lies that I even believed that guy truly loved me. I don't know if the system was mocking me or something else, but it gave me the talent skill of a trickster."
Trist didn't seem to want to hide anything and told everything at once.
"The condition for activating the talent skill is that someone looks at me and talks to me. Then the other person's eyes will always stay on me, and the other person's ears will only hear my voice. He will have a good impression of me from the bottom of his heart, believe every word I say, and be willing to tell me any secrets and do anything for me."
“The deeper the trust, the stronger the effect.”
Xiao Qianchuan suddenly understood what had happened to him just now.
What a close call! He almost revealed his secret in front of Officer Ling.
Xiao Qianchuan turned to Officer Ling and nodded, and the latter immediately loosened his grip and let go of the person he had restrained.
Trist staggered forward a few steps, holding his shoulder, and looked back at Xiao Qianchuan.
"Your heart is very closed. You are the only one who has not opened up to me, which shows how deeply you have been hurt. I really want to help you."
Seeing that Trist was still trying to seduce his young master before leaving, Lanbo waved his fist at him.
"Shut up! Get out of here now, or I'll give you a big fist."
With a sigh, Drizzt turned and left.
Xiao Qianchuan stood there in a daze until Ling Rizhao came over.
"Now that we have all the information about the other team's players, what should we do next?"
Xiao Qianchuan looked back at Fei Liu and Mu Hemh and smiled.
"Next, of course, is to complete the side quest first."
