UNKNOWN COMING: I Have A Invincible Domain

Chapter 8 - Fooling, and then again Fooling



Su Xiao exhausted his persuasive skills, but the dog remained steadfast, righteously refusing his offer! Unfazed, Su Xiao devised another plan.

Just as he was about to continue his cajoling, several figures appeared within his field of vision, heading towards the small shop. Su Xiao’s mind raced, and he and the dog vanished instantly.

Huang Zhongshi pushed open the shop door, followed by five Spirit Realm members, including Chu Ran and Mo Yun. Upon seeing Su Xiao, they hurriedly greeted him.

“Boss, that was some impressive skill!”

Su Xiao feigned surprise. “Oh, Lao Huang!”

Lao Huang? The five members were inwardly stunned.

This form of address was enough to confirm their suspicions – the boss’s strength was comparable to the instructor’s! Such a young Extreme Realm expert!

“Did you capture the ‘Unknown’?” Su Xiao asked, feigning ignorance.

Huang Zhongshi nodded. “We did. It was only a newly Battle Realm ‘Unknown,’ but we have to thank you for the Soul-Reavealing Candle. It forced it to reveal itself.”

“Do you happen to have any more Soul-Reavealing Candle on you?”

Su Xiao  eyes lit up. “Of course! We have, As much as you need!”

Huang Zhongshi was delighted. Although the immediate crisis was over, it was hard to say if something like this wouldn’t happen again.

It was best to be prepared!

Besides, the bounty for an ‘Unknown’ was much higher than for a ‘Killer’! Killing that Battle Realm ‘Unknown’ would net him at least ten thousand yuan, so he hadn’t lost money on this venture; he’d even made a small profit!

He immediately transferred three thousand yuan to Su Xiao’s account. Su Xiao was naturally thrilled. He hadn’t even had his tea yet, and he’d already earned another fifteen hundred!

Perhaps he really should get a tea table. He was bound to have more customers in the future, and it wasn’t proper to conduct business standing on the ground, was it?

After putting the Soul-Reavealing Candle into his interspatial storage, Huang Zhongshi wore a mysterious expression.

“Boss, I’ve been wondering something…”

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, “You want to know why I knew about the ‘Unknown’?”

Huang Zhongshi was inwardly shocked. This boss was like he could read his mind.

How did he know what he was thinking?

“I really can’t figure it out. I haven’t told anyone about this…”

Su Xiao looked at Huang Zhongshi with a playful glint in his eyes, then held out his hand, palm open.

“Three thousand yuan! I’ll tell you why!”

Huang Zhongshi and his companions were speechless! He wanted money for this too?

Wasn’t he an Extreme Realm expert?

Where was the demeanor of a powerful figure?

Where was the magnanimity expected of a strong individual?

Chu Ran rubbed her forehead, and a word involuntarily surfaced in her mind… profiteer.

Huang Zhongshi gave a dry laugh and said, “Never mind… It’s not that important anyway.”

Spending the equivalent of sixty bowls of instant noodles for an answer?

Unless he was crazy!

Besides, he’d already killed the ‘Unknown,’ so the answer wasn’t so crucial anymore.

Maybe it was just a coincidence?

“Boss,” Huang Zhongshi said, a hint of hope in his voice, “Have you really not considered joining the Slayers?”

Su Xiao was taken aback. Why was this topic coming up again and again?

To avoid being bothered about it in the future, Su Xiao decided to give Huang Zhongshi a lesson.

He sat up straight from his rocking chair and said seriously, “Lao Huang, let me ask you. Why did you join the Slayers in the first place?”

“Of course, it was to eliminate the ‘Unknown,’ eradicate the Killers, and protect humanity.”

Huang Zhongshi’s words were filled with righteous indignation, stirring the blood of even Chu Ran and the others!

Su Xiao waved his hand, interrupting his impassioned speech.

“I asked about your initial motivation, not for you to make grand pronouncements here!”

Huang Zhongshi gave an embarrassed smile and said, “Actually, in the beginning, it was just to have something to eat…”

Su Xiao glanced at Huang Zhongshi. “That’s more like it! In the apocalypse, what’s most important? Food! Anything that can fill your stomach!”

“If you can’t even get enough to eat, how can you protect humanity?”

“With your mouth? Or with your so-called burning passion?”

Su Xiao spoke as if he were lecturing his son, making Chu Ran and the others secretly click their tongues.

The last time they saw their instructor being lectured like this was when a special envoy from Slayers headquarters came down.

That was a Transcendent Realm expert!

But now, they dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, standing there and taking the lecture.

“Look at me now,” Su Xiao continued, “Do I look like I’m starving?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dog very cooperatively took a bite of the roast duck in front of it, looking quite pleased with itself.

Huang Zhongshi was momentarily speechless but then said in a deep voice, “But if everyone only lived to fill their stomachs, what about those Killers? What about the ‘Unknown’?”

Su Xiao licked his dry lips. “Who told you that joining the Slayers is the only way to protect humanity?”

Huang Zhongshi was taken aback. “Then what other way is there?”

Su Xiao pointed at Huang Zhongshi. “Isn’t that Soul-Reavealing Candle on you helpful for finding ‘Unknown’ creatures?”

Huang Zhongshi nodded woodenly. “Yes, it is!”

“And where did you get that Soul-Reavealing Candle?” Su Xiao continued.

“From you, of course, Boss!”

Su Xiao chuckled. “Exactly! Doesn’t that mean I indirectly helped you eliminate the ‘Unknown’?”

Huang Zhongshi pondered for a moment. It seemed to make some sense… but not entirely.

The dog had already covered its dog ears because it realized that Su Xiao’s tone was starting to sound suspicious again… This guy was going to start conning people again!

No listening, no Listening, turtle reads scriptures!

It was afraid that if it listened too much, the Cosmic Supermarket would be emptied by him sooner or later!

“Not only the Soul-Reavealing Candle,” Su Xiao continued, “but also these food supplies. Can’t they also improve your combat effectiveness?”

Su Xiao felt his train of thought becoming clearer and clearer.

“When you’re well-fed and well-nourished, you’ll naturally be able to kill more enemies! In this era of extreme food scarcity, isn’t what I’m doing a form of indirect protection for humanity?”

“Since we’re both contributing to humanity, why should I join the Slayers?”

Huang Zhongshi nodded and shook his head alternately, but his reaction speed was far from keeping up with Su Xiao’s barrage of words!

Chu Ran and the other five members were even worse off.

Their minds had been so thoroughly scrambled by Su Xiao that they were practically mush…

Would Su Xiao give them time to think?

Of course not!

What was the key to conning people?

Eloquence, a confident performance!

While being quick-witted, you also had to keep the rhythm firmly in your own hands!

As for right or wrong, as long as the other party didn’t have time to react, even if you said a rat was the duck in the dog’s mouth, you were right!!!

“You guys risk your lives to kill a killer, and sometimes there are unavoidable sacrifices! But what about me?”

“I only need to deliver these food supplies to you, and the safety of humanity will be better guaranteed!”

“In other words, as long as you spend a little money here, not only can you greatly improve your combat power and bravely kill enemies! You can also allow me to contribute to the great cause of protecting humanity, a win-win situation!”

“And most importantly, there’s no risk whatsoever!”

“Now, this opportunity is right in front of you, are you still going to hesitate?”

Su Xiao’s mouth was dry, and he grabbed the water glass in front of him and took several large gulps.

“I think what the boss said makes sense!” Chu Ran said, nodding in agreement. All eyes turned to her.

“Like last time,” she continued, “if I’d had a bucket of instant noodles, I wouldn’t have been so embarrassingly chased by those two Spirit Realm Killers. Maybe I could have even killed them both!”

“The contribution value of two Killers is much higher than a bucket of instant noodles!”

“But I was just too hungry at the time…”

The other members nodded in unison, deeply sympathizing.

Hunger was indeed the biggest factor affecting their combat strength.

Energy bars only allowed them to unleash seventy percent of their power!

“Instructor! I’d like to borrow some money from you…” Mo Yun suddenly spoke up.

“I want to contribute to humanity!”

“Me too!”

“Instructor, lend me 200 yuan first! I’ll pay you back after I kill a few Killers!”

“I want to borrow too!”

One person started, and the others followed suit.

Huang Zhongshi waved his hand. “While , I am here! How can you pay for it?”

“Boss! Get some stock!”
