I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 22 The boss is awesome!

Even with Feng Xue's big heart, he almost skipped a beat when he saw this thing. This instantaneous change was noticed by Jiu Gu. She looked at Feng Xue with a playful look and said with a smile:
"It doesn't look like you know anything!"

"Hehe..." Feng Xue laughed dryly twice and didn't know how to answer, but he finally understood. This secret book was probably obtained by means similar to the Five Ghosts Moving Method.

But even knowing this, it is still difficult to remain calm when looking at the colorful cover of the secret book.

After all, there is nothing wrong with a thread-bound book having a blue or khaki cover, and even some special ones having a red cover. But if you see books of these three colors at the same time, it is inevitable that you will have a sense of impropriety.

However, Feng Xue also understood that he should not be too attached to the appearance, so he focused his attention on the words on the book cover.

"Calling Creatures", "Controlling Ghosts", "Paper Cutting", "Starting Fire", "Nightmare Prayer", "Sending a Staff", "Divine Travel", "Taking Food", "Slaying Demons", "Walking on Water", "Pot Heaven", and "Purifying Dust".

There are twelve spells in total, and their names are very simple. Some of them can be understood at a glance, while others are slightly abstract. However, Feng Xue took a rough look and found that except for spells such as "Nightmare Prayer" and "Sending a Staff" which have no literal meaning, the rest are basically means of combat and self-defense, but there is no technology to help people exorcise evil spirits. If Jiugu doesn't understand, then the skills that a witch must know, such as "inviting gods" and "communicating with the dead", are not available here.

"So this is the housekeeping skill?" Feng Xue thought about it and figured it out. Although from his point of view, the ability to fight and protect oneself is more mysterious than pulling people from the underworld to possess, for an established profession, this kind of technology that can be paid to do things is the real core means.

"I want them all!"

Feng Xue made a very proud declaration. Jiugu's eyes immediately lit up and she immediately raised a thumbs up and said:
"Generous! Twelve books, 20% off that's 9,600 wen. I'll even give you the decimal. Just give me 9 guan!"

"That's easy, but Jiugu, I still want to ask you something." As soon as Feng Xue finished speaking, Jiugu immediately said:

"Just ask!"

"I heard that there is a way to collect willpower and cultivate into a virtual god..."

"This cannot be taught." Before Feng Xue finished speaking, Jiu Gu shook her head, and the money-obsessed look on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a serious expression as stiff as a wooden sculpture or clay sculpture. She did not explain, and even had an attitude that said, "If you say it again, you won't be able to buy these."

Feng Xue saw this and stopped arguing. He took out a golden bean and said:
"We don't have that much cash. Do you want gold? If that doesn't work, let's go to the bank..."

"Take it! Of course!" Jiu Gu took the two-cent gold bean, weighed it, and pinched it with her fingers. Although the gold was soft, Feng Xue was still a little surprised by how she pinched off a piece so cleanly and neatly. After all, the ductility is there. Just because you can pinch it doesn't mean you can pinch it off!

But Jiugu didn't care at all and handed the remaining small piece of gold to Feng Xue.

"I'll charge you one cent and one cent. Do you want to weigh it?"

"No, no." Feng Xue's gold beans all weigh 10 grams each. Compared with the price at the bank, Jiu Gu's is even less.

Jiu Gu happily put the gold into her purse, and glanced at Feng Xue who was stuffing a pile of books into her bag and said:
"Although I've sold you the technique, I still want to remind you that cultivation is a gradual process. Don't rush for success. Also, catching ghosts right after someone dies will shorten your lifespan. If you need a ghost but don't know where to find one, you can buy one from me. The price is fair!"

"I'll learn it first, and I'll come if you need me."

Feng Xue didn't finish his words, but just smiled and nodded, then stood up and left the hall, turning back home to prepare for study. Compared to the trouble of buying furniture by himself, Yazi knew very well where to buy different goods. As soon as Feng Xue returned home, Yazi came to the door with the purchased bedding.

Instructing people to put the things down, Feng Xue paid the balance and closed the door. Then he threw himself on the not very comfortable sofa. Looking at the unopened foreign bedding, Feng Xue glanced at the ring.

"What, what are you doing?" The little white snake noticed Feng Xue's gaze and asked nervously. Feng Xue raised the corner of his mouth and did not answer directly, but asked directly:

"Do you want to become a human?"

"Yes!" The little white snake answered without hesitation, but at the same time he suddenly woke up and said quickly:
"I can't possibly help you practice!" "It's not that troublesome. Can you make the bed and fold the quilt? Help me clean up the room." Feng Xue felt something was not right as soon as the words came out of his mouth. After all, the little white snake might not be able to do it.

However, when the little white snake heard Feng Xue's conditions, she was happy and said quickly:
"I haven't done it before, but I roughly know what to do! Don't worry, I will definitely do it well! Really!"

Seeing that the little white snake seemed to be eager to be a maid, Feng Xue couldn't help but smile. Although he had vaguely guessed that he would get benefits every time he silenced the little white snake, for him who had the power to "abandon the merits with a single word", the little white snake becoming stronger would only benefit him.

"Since you are so sincere, then okay, I think you look like a human being." Feng Xue said proudly, and then he felt his arm sink, and then the little white snake fell on him.

"Boiled!"

Although his arms were full of Xiangyu, Feng Xue did not feel any enjoyment at all at this moment. The sudden weight almost made him faint.

Fortunately, the little white snake's reaction was more immediate than his. It jumped up in an instant and glanced at Feng Xue warily. Seeing that Feng Xue had not yet recovered, it immediately said anxiously:

"I, I'm going to figure out how to make the bed!"

After saying that, the girl who looked very slender lifted up the large box that several big men had carried in with one hand and rushed towards the master bedroom chosen by Feng Xue like a fly.

"..."

Feng Xue finally calmed down at this time, and couldn't help but sigh -

"This physique needs to be taken care of... Forget it, read a book first."

Feng Xue took out the secret book he bought from Jiu Gu, and without picking one, he just picked one up and started reading.

Compared with the simplicity and directness of the previous secret book from Yi Zhuang, Feng Xue felt that this book was a bit long-winded. Many things that could be explained clearly in one or two sentences were described with a lot of specious words. It felt like the kind of studio-style writing that was written by someone with a limited vocabulary and could only pile up repetitive rhetoric.

But no matter what, at least this large amount of text made the point clear after all. Combined with the illustrations next to it, which looked a bit rough but at least sufficient, Feng Xue quickly understood the rituals of the "Ji Zhang" spell.

"Prepare a wooden stick and a spell in advance. When you are damaged while the spell is active, the damage can be transferred to the stick... Isn't this a substitution spell?"

　Regarding the misunderstanding about helping me practice, I think it is written quite clearly. It’s not that the protagonist didn’t realize it, but that he didn’t care at all.

　　At the beginning, the two sides had an unpleasant argument because of the mouth sealing test, so the protagonist assumed that it was normal for the White Snake to not cooperate.

　　After entering the county town, the protagonist obtained the "human power", so the importance of the White Snake was reduced to another level. Although the White Snake herself disagreed, she would answer if asked, so the protagonist did not care what the White Snake resisted.

　　So far, the protagonist has always viewed White Snake as a "tool." He uses his power to balance the situation, and since he's aware of White Snake's demands, he doesn't need to specifically ask about something she's clearly unwilling to do. It's like a boss who doesn't care why an employee doesn't want to work overtime. If they're forced to, he can't refuse anyway.

　　ps: Regarding the mouth sealing talent, it is actually not very amazing, so don’t worry about it being too big.

　　Because this thing is not a percentage increase, but a fixed value.

　　It does stack up quickly in the early stages because the base number is relatively small. For example, the snake's talent is 1, and each mouth seal can add 10 talents. Two times is 20, and 5 times is 50. It seems that it adds a lot each time.

　　But as the number of times increases, for example, when the talent is stacked to 100 or 1000, the effect of adding 10 each time has been diluted to an exaggerated degree.
