I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 56 Bamboozled
Yuan Muye was truly speechless with this guy.
But he still said, "Brother Liu, just say what's on your mind."
"Okay, I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
"The good news."
Yuan Muye said directly.
Liu Quanzhen said, "Then I'll tell you the bad news first."
Yuan Muye could already picture the guy's cheeky expression in his mind.
"Okay, tell me."
Yuan Muye still said calmly.
"The bad news is that we already talked to Wang Zhengyang, hoping to resolve this peacefully, but he didn't agree. He said he wants to take you down."
"What's the good news?"
"The good news is that he promised not to mess with you at the company. But if you're ever alone, he'll definitely take you down. So, I suggest you stay at the company for the time being."
Liu Quanzhen said.
Yuan Muye said, "In that case, the company's escort mission shouldn't involve me, right?"
He wasn't really interested in these things.
But to his surprise, Liu Quanzhen still said, "Little Yuan, this mission still has to be you. Company orders are usually not easily changed."
Yuan Muye was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Okay, by the way, do you have any news about what I asked you to inquire about?"
"Soon. If nothing goes wrong, you'll definitely receive the news by the day you're responsible for the escort."
Hearing Liu Quanzhen's words, Yuan Muye didn't say much more.
After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but sink into deep thought.
Li Pangpang, who was beside him, suddenly asked, "Lao Yuan, what did Brother Liu say to you?"
"Nothing much."
Yuan Muye didn't say too much, to avoid Li Pangpang worrying too.
As for Wang Zhengyang, Yuan Muye naturally had to be on guard.
It's just that this guy has a somewhat wicked mind and knows some unorthodox techniques.
This was also a considerable challenge for Yuan Muye.
After getting off work, with nothing else to do, Yuan Muye leaned on the bed, ready to sleep.
But tossing and turning, he couldn't fall asleep.
Controlling his consciousness, he entered the store and took a quick look around, discovering another cultivation technique called the Hanbing Zhang (Freezing Palm)...
It required 9999 negative emotion points...
Yuan Muye stared at it for a while, then consulted the system, saying, "Can you make this Freezing Palm a little cheaper?"
Yuan Muye only had a little over ten thousand negative emotion points in total.
If he bought this Freezing Palm, he would really have very little left.
But in the current situation, it seemed that Yuan Muye didn't have many choices.
Having offended the Wang family of Yuncheng, if that kid really used some underhanded tactics against him, it would definitely not be a beneficial thing for Yuan Muye.
The current Yuan Muye was still full of doubts about his own strength.
That's why he wanted to learn some skills to protect himself.
He now had a Big Fish Sword, and a set of cultivation techniques. He had briefly studied the techniques, but hadn't tried them yet. He didn't know if this set of techniques would be effective.
After he finished speaking, he waited for the system to answer.
But to Yuan Muye's disappointment, the system quickly gave him a negative answer, "Sorry, host, we don't haggle here."
Receiving such an answer, he was somewhat disappointed.
So Yuan Muye then asked, "Then can you tell me about the effects of the Freezing Palm?"
"Okay, reminding host, now telling host about the effects of the Freezing Palm. If the host learns the Freezing Palm, whether it is a cultivator or a ghost, after being hit by the Freezing Palm, their whole body will immediately become ice-cold, and they will be frozen, leading to stiff limbs and cold poison. For evil ghosts, it will cause irreversible and enormous damage to their souls."
The system's voice was emotionless.
Yuan Muye understood only vaguely, so he continued to ask, "So, you're saying that the Freezing Palm is very powerful?"
"Indeed very powerful. It is recommended that the host purchase it. After learning the Freezing Palm, it can also have a considerable effect on the host's cultivation."
After hearing this, Yuan Muye was greatly moved and immediately had the idea of purchasing the "Freezing Palm."
After a brief consideration, he decided to buy the Subduing Dragon Eighteen Palms later if he had the chance.
The most urgent thing was to have a more reliable technique to protect himself.
As for future things, he would deal with them later.
"Okay, purchase."
Yuan Muye said.
Then, 9999 negative emotion points were directly deducted...
After the deduction, a set of cultivation techniques quickly appeared in Yuan Muye's mind, and he quickly began to learn the technique.
But after learning it, Yuan Muye found something was wrong.
Freezing Palm, first level...
After learning the first level, when he wanted to learn the second level, the technique prompted that he had to continue to unlock it with negative emotion points, with an unlocking price of "9999..."
After seeing this prompt, Yuan Muye immediately felt that there were ten thousand Cao Nimas galloping wildly in his heart.
This was acceptable?
Wasn't this a scam?
Could Yuan Muye only endure it? He immediately ran to ask the system, "Are you scamming me? Selling me something that needs to be unlocked? Are you crazy?"
But to his surprise, the system heard Yuan Muye's accusation and still said in a very calm manner, "Reminding host, scolding the system will deduct a certain amount of negative emotion points."
These words immediately shut Yuan Muye up, but he was still unconvinced in his heart.
This was clearly a scam.
"Then explain it to me properly."
Faced with such a threat from the system, Yuan Muye had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to ask.
"Host, it's like this, the Freezing Palm you learned is an advanced technique. With a price of 9999 negative emotion points, it is impossible to buy such a good technique, so you can only buy the first level. The second level needs to be unlocked again."
The system's voice was still ice-cold.
Seeing this, Yuan Muye had no choice but to admit defeat.
"You're ruthless. If I ever fall for your tricks again, I'm not human."
After Yuan Muye finished speaking, he exited the system.
He had been scammed this time.
Freezing Palm, first level? What effect could it have?
Yuan Muye opened his eyes and sensed the technique. There seemed to be a faint layer of cold air flowing in his body.
However, this kind of cold air didn't cause any harm to Yuan Muye himself.
He tried to circulate this cold air to his arm, and with a palm strike, a thin layer of ice immediately appeared, covering the ground, only covering about one square meter.
And it was very thin.
Touching it with his hand, it was quite cool.
But what was the use of this? Could it cause harm to people?
It was too slow to even freeze a popsicle!
He had been scammed. He had really been scammed this time.
Yuan Muye had been navigating the business world for many years in his previous life, and had never been scammed like this before.
