Mushroom Man

Lie Mushroom...

A look of understanding flashed in Wu Liang's eyes, and then, with a thought, the three-turn Lie Mushroom in his dantian swayed slightly.

Once upon a time, he even used this mushroom to break the oath between Yan Xingpi and the second young master in Zhaodi Town and Baijiao Tribe.

I never expected that I would need to use this mushroom again.

Previously, Wu Liang only suspected that Yan Bixing might be a member of the Yan family, but now he is certain and certain.

The Lie Mushroom is a unique mushroom of the Yan family; it is not found anywhere else, neither in the Western Regions nor in the North Sea.

A promise that must be kept is broken by a lie.

This is why the one-man rule dared to be so reckless and lend money everywhere.

The reason that Yan Bixing relied on was precisely because the mushroom master on Chaotic Star Island had no lying mushrooms, and therefore could not break his promise.

As the mastermind behind the killer move, it's impossible for him not to have Lie Mushrooms at his disposal.

This shows that this person definitely has a close relationship with the Yan family.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang's curiosity about Yan Bixing intensified.

He pondered for a moment, then asked Zhou Zilun, "Are you able to contact Yan Bixing now?"

"Tell her that someone in the hall wants to withdraw silver and needs to use a method of communication to restrain them, and ask her to come over."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zilun had no objection and quickly replied, "Your Excellency, I do not know where Yan Bixing is staying."

"We usually communicate through mushrooms."

"I will write a letter immediately and summon you, sir, to carry out your orders."

As he spoke, he took out a second-level channel mushroom... a messenger mushroom.

Although Zhou Zilun was big and burly, he was extremely efficient in his work.

In no time, he wrote down everything Wu Liang had told him, word for word.

Then he threw it forcefully, sending out the message mushroom.

The next moment, the messenger mushroom grew a pair of wings and flew out of the one-man show with great agility.

Seeing this, Wu Liang nodded slightly and waited patiently with Zhou Zilun for a reply.

However, he was not idle during this time.

Since he was already there, and taking advantage of the unpredictable nature of human nature, he calmly said, "By the way, the Holy Sect has some plans for Chaotic Star Island."

"Now, our sect has infiltrated Chaotic Star Island. However, due to the large number of mushroom masters within the sect and the limited funds for operations, we are hampered at every turn."

"Therefore, in my capacity as a special envoy of the Holy Church, I will requisition a portion of your assets to be used as common funds for the grand plan of the Holy Church."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zilun was taken aback.

He frowned, a conflicted look appearing on his face.

Seeing his expression, Wu Liang knew that his request had crossed the guy's bottom line.

While the fickle nature of human nature is indeed mysterious and unpredictable, it is currently only a fourth-level killing move.

While it can forcibly distort other people's cognition, mentality, memories, etc., some things cannot be changed.

For example, by exploiting the fickle nature of human nature, it is absolutely impossible to suddenly turn a person into a death-defying warrior who is willing to die for you.

Or it could be something that seriously harms one's own interests, like asking someone to hand over mushrooms.

Such actions, which go too far against one's original intentions, will provoke the victim and make them wary.

Even worse, it could very well expose the inherent fickleness of human nature.

It is quite clear that this Zhou Zilun was previously a greedy person.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have opened a silver shop with Yan Bixing.

Now, Wu Liang's demand for his wealth is undoubtedly like cutting off his flesh and bleeding him dry.

This situation naturally provoked Zhou Zilun, making him wary and instinctively resist Wu Liang. Wu Liang was well aware of this and, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch Zhou Zilun act, thus escaping the influence of the unpredictable nature of human emotions.

Then, on a whim, he used the Deception Mushroom to add something to the situation, thus stabilizing the precarious and unpredictable hearts of the people.

Zhou Zilun's expression gradually softened, but the fervor in his eyes intensified.

"It is my honor to serve the Holy Church and contribute my strength!"

"I only have about eight thousand drops of silver liquid on me."

"How much silver do you intend to requisition, Your Excellency?"

"Eight thousand drops of silver water..." Wu Liang stroked his chin, then said, "Then let's requisition five thousand drops of silver water first."

Wu Liang had a very good grasp of the situation; when he said to requisition a portion, that meant a portion.

Five thousand drops of silver water, just the right amount, neither too little nor too much.

Zhou Zilun did not hesitate for long and immediately took out the Rich Woman Mushroom and transferred five thousand drops of silver water to Wu Liang.

'This money came so easily...'

'Sure enough, with people's hearts so fickle, I have no worries about running out of silver to squander.'

Wu Liang carefully put away the silver liquid and nodded in satisfaction.

Who would have thought that he could earn so much money from others simply by talking?

This way of making money is even faster than gambling.

However, while this method is certainly easy and convenient to make money, it does carry certain risks.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

If one day he makes a mistake, and the results are unpredictable and unsatisfactory, then that would be troublesome.

Moreover, the mindset of people at the fourth level is unpredictable and not always effective.

If Wu Liang doesn't provide timely support, Zhou Zilun will eventually recover.

By then, it will probably be time for Wu Liang to run away.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Wu Liang would not casually use people's hearts and minds without any fixed pattern.

Unless he advances to the fourth level and has enough confidence to leave Chaotic Star Island unscathed at any time.

The two sat in the hall of one-man rule and waited for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before finally receiving a reply.

Then the flying mushroom returned and flew back again.

Zhou Zilun took the flying book mushroom and glanced at it, then frowned and quickly said to Wu Liang, "Your Excellency, this is truly unfortunate..."

"That person who always keeps her word replied that she is currently in seclusion, preparing to refine some kind of Trust Mushroom."

"She will emerge from seclusion in about two or three days to begin working on the contract for the one-man rule."

Trust mushroom?
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang raised an eyebrow.

He had heard of this mushroom before; it was said to be a rare mushroom from Taoism.

Its function, as the name suggests, is related to trust, enabling mushroom growers to establish an unfounded trust with others.

If this mushroom could be combined with the ever-changing nature of human nature and the unpredictable nature of human faces, its effects would surely be even more outstanding.

It seems that when Yan Zhaodi takes over this person's body in the future, we can first use force to seize the two mushrooms and take them out for her use.

Before Wu Liang even saw the person, he had already arranged a place for the mushrooms on his body.

He stood up, waved his hand, and said, "It's only two or three days. I can wait."

"You have been doing well these past few days. I will visit you again once he emerges from seclusion."

Zhou Zilun had no objection to this and quickly got up to see him off.

Having failed to find Yan Bixing, Wu Liang did not linger any longer and immediately left... (End of Chapter)
