Chapter 74 Lord of Truth!
Chapter 74 Lord of Truth! (Seeking recommendation votes and monthly tickets!)
Lu Yu was unaware of the immense psychological trauma his act of kindly helping Huang Tiantian earn an extra commission had caused her.
However, even if they knew, they wouldn't care. This kind of ultimate working person has a tenacious personality and won't be discouraged by such a small matter. They'll probably get back to work soon, and the next time we meet, they might already be top salespeople.
After hiding at home for two days, Huang Tiantian finally realized that the other party had only done it casually. She breathed a sigh of relief and went back to work, working even harder to make her colleagues cry.
On the other hand, after Lu Yu and Sun Jie parted ways, Lu Yu knew that the other respected him and would not follow him.
However, to be on the safe side, Lu Yu had the mouse perform several shadow jumps to ensure that no one was nearby before changing into a black robe, entering the city, and then returning home.
The reason we didn't set off directly was that although the Wild Ant Tomb Secret Realm wasn't far away, it still required a two- to three-hour drive.
Walking alone is too inefficient, so let's go back and find a means of transportation, and test the Gluttony Cauldron's abilities along the way.
"I'm going to die..."
As soon as we got home, the hamster poked its head out of the pocket, looking completely drained. It accidentally rolled off the bed and lay there like a corpse, waving its little paws and listlessly saying:
"Xiu Ren, aren't you being too cautious? The third jump was already far enough, why did you have to jump a fifth time? You almost... turned the mouse into dried mouse meat!"
Lu Yu glanced at it and said, "It's always better to be cautious than to make a mistake."
"I..." The mouse was speechless for a moment. Having made a mistake first, it had no words to refute it. Finally, it stammered, "I don't know why I kept feeling some inexplicable malice, and my hand trembled. I know I was wrong this time, and I will be more careful next time. Besides, without my mistake, how would we highlight the brilliance and might of Master Xiu... oh no, Master!"
As it spoke, the mouse stood up, opened its bright, adorable eyes as wide as it could, put its two paws on its head, and made a heart shape, trying to get away with being cute.
However, Lu Yu was unmoved and issued the final judgment directly:
"There won't be a next time. I've already designed a series of training plans for you, and we'll start them when you get back. This will eliminate your lazy, irresponsible behavior at its root. If you don't complete them, all your snacks will be confiscated!"
A series of training programs...
They'll even confiscate the potato chips!
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle, and it makes the hamster feel that the future is bleak, so it ate a few more potato chips in fear.
The little spider next to it reached out and poked its swollen cheek with its finger.
"Hmm... never mind, it was my fault first, so you don't need to comfort me, big sister..."
Before the mouse could even feel moved, it heard the little spider speak:
"Waaah!"
Are you interested in learning about the great savior—the god of the proficiency panel?
You're too lazy right now, you need to change and learn to appreciate the joy of training!
The little spider, wearing a blindfold, looked serious, showing no sign of joking. After getting used to the proficiency template, it felt like ants were crawling all over its body if it didn't roll for a day.
"..."
The mouse was completely petrified, feeling like it had been tricked.
The owner is too cautious, the eldest sister is too competitive, and their dream of a carefree life seems to be ending before it even begins.
Thinking of this, it sadly ate two potato chips, stuffing its cheeks full, turning its grief and indignation into motivation.
Lu Yu had no time to deal with the withdrawn mouse. He planned to test the effects of his newly acquired Gluttony Cauldron before setting off, hoping to add some positive buffs.
He took out a black carp he had bought earlier from the refrigerator. Little Spider wielded a cleaver, quickly removing the scales and gutting it. Then he cut it into pieces, marinated it, sprinkled on a bunch of seasonings, and put it in the microwave to wait for twenty minutes.
The moment it was opened, a wonderful fragrance filled the air.
"Um, Xiuren, don't touch it! You can't eat freshly cooked food, it'll burn your mouth. Let me test it for poison..."
The mouse didn't think it tasted that good; it was just greedy. It was about to reach out its little paw when it was swatted away.
"Wait, there's one more step!" Lu Yu said, glancing at the [Normal] quality label displayed in the Eye of Truth, his lips twitching slightly.
Indeed, achieving good quality is not so easy; it involves extraordinary power.
He took out the Gluttony Cauldron, opened the lid, and looked down. He found that what was inside was not the cauldron wall, but a thick cloud of black mist.
It kept wriggling and expanding inside, seemingly connected to the extradimensional stomach of an unknown monster.
Although they were somewhat strangely shaped, Lu Yu had long been accustomed to the bizarre phenomena of this world, and found them rather pleasing to the eye.
At least I won't have to worry about the food being too big to fit in the kitchen anymore.
So, to the astonishment of the rat, Lu Yu tossed the grilled fish in. The lid of the Gluttony Cauldron closed automatically, countless black runes flowed, and the large mouth on the wall opened, emitting a hoarse, deep sound:
"Under the witness of the great Mother River, and following the ancient laws of fate, the deal is struck. In exchange, I will randomly take a part of your body. Now I will take your head..."
Lu Yu frowned. He wasn't a spearman, so why was he so unlucky to be chosen for such an important part as the head on his first try?
Could it be another forbidden curse causing trouble?
It looks like we'll have no choice but to breach the contract!
However, before he could even make a move, the sound of the Gluttony Cauldron suddenly turned strange, like a TV drama cutting out, emitting a demonic, twitching sound:
"A...a hair!?"
The Gluttony Cauldron's voice became sharp and mournful, but with only basic intelligence, it was completely unable to understand what was happening.
"It seems the side effects of the Gate Master's technique, reduced to one percent, have activated. My head has turned into a single hair. This ability is far more terrifying than I imagined. It looks like I can collect more secret techniques with severe side effects in the future..."
Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised. If this was the only price, there was no need to break the contract. After all, too much mental pollution might strengthen the forbidden curse seal.
So he simply plucked a hair from his head and handed it over, while the Gluttony Cauldron, like a submissive wife about to be humiliated, retreated continuously, letting out screams:
"I disagree! Aaaaaaahhhhhh..."
Although it tried its best to refuse, as a rule-based treasure, it was forcibly overwritten by the forbidden-level rule of the [Lord of the Gate].
For example, if the Gluttony Cauldron is a cute and innocent girl who only wants to live a good life with her childhood sweetheart and only wants to be able to have fun after marriage.
But one day, Lu Huangmao Yu, who was passing by, forcibly widened the road. Although the original rules remained unchanged, others suddenly had the key to open the door at any time.
Moreover, they don't require a bride price or any responsibility; they can just walk away, while the victims have to meet various conditions.
The Minotaur God of War gave it a thumbs up.
After Lu Yu sacrificed a strand of his hair, the lid was opened, and the grilled fish emerged from the black mist.
The appearance has not changed significantly, but the aroma has become several times stronger, making one's mouth water just by smelling it.
The mouse next to it stared wide-eyed, rubbing its eyes in disbelief. It felt like the food was glowing.
Oh~ the golden legend!
"Is this what good quality food is...?"
Lu Yu swallowed hard, activated his Eye of Truth, glanced at the food's effects, and exclaimed in amazement:
"If I had this ability sooner, I would be invincible!"
I'm still asking for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and continued reading. I'll take a short break, as the new story begins tomorrow. I need to go through the procedures before the book goes live, and I'll release a massive 40,000 to 50,000 words on the day of release!
