Chapter 092 Fool's Fairy Tales (Thirteen)

Dong Jin didn't care whether the gods and demons outside the dungeon chose to play dumb because of the high sunk costs, or they were really dumb to the point of being blind. Anyway, he continued to push the dungeon at his own pace in the following time.

On the fourth day, he took the excuse of looking for musical inspiration and took the little prince to the ground to collect folk songs.

Of course, this time he chose another town, after all, he didn't want to be called a liar in the street.

Perhaps because the dungeon was about to be halfway through, there were far fewer nobles waiting to be rescued in the town today than on the first day. Thanks to the money that the little prince readily provided, this time he no longer paid fake gems, but real gold.

"Sir, you are amazing! You saved so many people so quickly!"

Dong Jin judged that the towns on the ground belonged to the neutral zone and temporary safety point of the two camps.

The residents in the town had no offensive power, let alone the current situation that was on the verge of breaking out. They had never heard of the coming rainstorm.

They were completely ordinary people who were kept in the dark.

It was precisely because they knew nothing that before the natural disaster came, these people could sincerely praise the self-proclaimed achievements of the nobles in the sky.

And this praise made the simple little prince smile all day, and even exaggerated his words.

In response to the little prince's flattery, Dong Jin only said with a hint of meaning: "You can save more people."

The little prince thought his master was referring to his prayer in front of the fruit tree. Thinking of the heavy rain for another five days, he couldn't help but droop his dog eyes and said worriedly: "I will work harder tomorrow."

Dong Jin smiled and didn't say anything.

Today he brought the little prince down on purpose, in addition to rubbing the other party's rainbow car openly, just to let the little prince see the situation on the ground and prompt him to think about what to do if praying is useless.

Now it seems that his goal is only half successful.

However, it is too cruel to reveal the truth to him directly, and the most important thing is that the effect of doing so is uncertain. So Dong Jin didn't continue to force the issue, but just sneaked to the golden fruit tree alone that night.

"49%, 58%, 66%..." Hidden in the crisscrossing trunks of the fruit trees, Dong Jin casually placed his hand, which was entangled with the chain of the Godhead of Daylight, on the golden apple beside him. In the white light of "Endless Daylight", the mortality rates of all the apples were in his sight.

"There really is an apple with a mortality rate of 99%. Is it really that poisonous?"

From the results, it is clear that his luck is really a bit hard to describe.

Even if Dong Jin just touched a few apples casually, the mortality rates of all the ones he liked were frighteningly high.

In desperation, he could only use the dumbest method and touch the apples on the tree one by one.

Dong Jin picked any apples with a mortality rate below 10% and put them into the sack he brought with him. He also picked any apples with a mortality rate above 90%, but he didn’t eat them because he had other plans.

After picking a total of 20 to 30 apples, Dong Jin took out a third sack.

This sack also contained golden apples, but they were all fakes with only a good appearance. Although the quality of the apples was not good, the appearance was authentic enough—he had painted each one with golden pigment.

Having suffered the loss of inconsistent eye color before, this time Dong Jin could guarantee that there was absolutely no color difference between the real and fake apples.

[You are still the one who suffered the loss, my brother Jin. You could have conjured up fake ones, but you still went to the forest to pick green apples. Not only did you pick them, you even painted them gold and glued them back one by one. I am really crying that you are so deceitful! ］

［Didn’t Brother Jin make special observations during the day? Every morning, there are specific people who come to collect golden apples and squeeze them into juice to use as energy for the sky city. There are only a few hundred apples on the whole tree. If he just picked them without replenishing them, he would be discovered soon. Our Brother Jin is also working hard for sustainable development today! Where is the applause? In addition to sticking these fake painted apples

, Dong Jin also stuck the most poisonous apples he had picked out earlier to more conspicuous places.

Although there are no non-humans mixed in the sky city yet, as the copy continues, this is a matter of time. Especially Sibel, if she seizes a chance, she will definitely go straight to the fruit tree.

And these golden apples that were stuck back are the best welcome gift he prepared for her.

After all, his luck is so special that he really can't help but want to share it with this uninvited guest.

Speaking of which, they also discussed the ownership of the golden fruit tree last night.

If Sibel agrees to divide these fruits between him and Snake as agreed, then everything will be fine. But if she breaks the contract first, don't blame him for being too poisonous in this welcome gift.

After spending most of the night, Dong Jin finally took away only a dozen apples, but he didn't mean to be in a hurry.

He still had four midnights, plenty of time to slowly replace all the low-lethality apples. But judging from tonight's situation, the mortality rate of less than 1% that he had previously pursued was purely a dream.

He had been searching for so long tonight, but he didn't see a single golden apple on the whole tree, with a probability as low as 1%.

Tonight he can still choose less than 10%, but tomorrow night he may only be able to choose less than 20%.

For optimal evolution, the higher the energy accumulated during the chrysalis period, the better, so he still had to get some more detoxifying scales. So in the second half of the night, Dong Jin visited Snake again with two fruits with a medium mortality rate that he had picked.

As expected, he was driven back by Sibel's complicated eyes.

Although the progress on the scales was not smooth, Dong Jin soon gained an unexpected surprise in making the little prince aware of the current situation.

Because at noon on the fifth day, the king, who had been drunk at the ball all night, just woke up and sent someone to call him to the main castle.

As soon as he stepped into the king's bedroom, the other party's angry scolding came from afar: "I heard that you took the little prince to the town yesterday? What did you teach him to make him act so absurd!" Whether

it was the unpleasant smell of alcohol in the bedroom at the moment, or the king's angry scolding that took a breath after every word, Dong Jin's mood did not fluctuate at all.

From the king's scolding and the whispered consolation of the attendants around him, he finally understood the cause and effect.

It turned out that the little prince rushed into the king's bedroom early this morning and begged the king to go to the tree to pray with him.

The half-drunk and half-awake king was probably annoyed by him, and he blurted out: "Pray? What the hell is praying? What's the use of that damn thing! Please, stop bothering your old father here, and go play house by yourself!"

The king didn't know how the little prince returned, because he fell asleep again in two seconds. It was not until he woke up at noon that he was in the mood to deal with this matter. As for the slip of the tongue in the morning, His Majesty the King did not think it was his slip of the tongue.

In his opinion, it was Dong Jin who corrupted the little prince, so everything was Dong Jin's fault.

Although the reasons the king blamed Dong Jin for were very confusing, in a sense he was not wrong, because Dong Jin was indeed very capable of doing bad things.

Dong Jin was too lazy to play along with the king for too long, so he acted out his acting skills at this moment, and said with a look of trepidation: "Your Majesty, do you have any misunderstanding? I didn't say anything to the little prince."

After shouting that he was wronged, he continued: "I met the little prince by chance the day before yesterday morning, and had the honor to follow him to the golden fruit tree. At that time, a group of nobles were standing under the tree praying devoutly, but several of them suddenly disappeared during the prayer and have not appeared since this morning."

"Although I know that I can't be friends with them because of my identity, I can't just ignore it when I think about the fact that we have met once. You also know that my luck is very strange. It is because of this luck that I was able to bring back the little prince and his companions before. So I want to try this time too."

"The little prince is simple-minded. I was afraid that he would worry too much, so I told him that I was going down to look for inspiration. I didn't expect that he would follow me in the end..."

Dong Jin said as he scanned the king's face at the table calmly.

After noticing that the king was still furious even though his expression had eased a little, he sighed in his heart, and then pretended to suddenly remember something and said, "If I must say there is something special... I remember that before we came back, we passed through the strange forest." When

the strange forest was mentioned, the king, who was eating lunch, suddenly stopped cutting meat.

Dong Jin seemed to be unaware of this: "Of course, we didn't enter the forest, we just passed by the edge of the forest."

"At that time, I saw several unidentified creatures flash by the edge of the forest. They seemed to be saying things like 'Spiders can sense the weather', 'She said it would rain, it must rain', 'We can't wait to die like this'."

"The little prince seemed to have noticed them at the time. Do you think he was scared by these guys?"

It is true that unidentified creatures flashed by the edge of the forest - there are so many species in the forest, it would be strange if no one lived at the edge. But the following words were all nonsense from Dong Jin.

The spider that he was talking about that could sense the weather was Silk Belle.

Silk Belle did have this ability, it was an ability she gained after evolution. Otherwise, she would not have been so confident to go to the lake to negotiate with Snake.

Dong Jin guessed that there should be no shortage of people in the castle who can identify lies, so even though he was lying at this moment, he was very careful to use an uncertain tone.

The king, who had been corrupted by wine and women for a long time, had already been fooled by Dong Jin's series of tricks.

Being so arrogant, and with people around him who could identify lies as Dong Jin guessed, the king never thought that Dong Jin would dare to lie to him in person.

In fact, when Dong Jin mentioned the forest, he reflexively felt that the group of inhuman creatures below were going to rebel.

Feeling depressed, he had no time to pay attention to Dong Jin, a small follower. He threw the silver dinner knife at hand without even looking at it, signaling Dong Jin to leave quickly and not to be a nuisance.

Dong Jin seemed to accidentally avoid the dinner knife while retreating.

At this time, the audience in his live broadcast room were still scolding the king for him, but Dong Jin really didn't have any anger at all - he never got angry with the dead. And this king was only one step away from death, so there was no need for him to waste his emotions.

Soon it was the fifth night again.

Because of his words during the day, the patrol in the castle was increased by another level.

Taking advantage of the fact that the situation was not yet at its most tense, Dong Jin directly dealt with all the golden apples with a mortality rate below 30% and above 70% that night, just like he did yesterday.

Fortunately, there were not many apples on this tree, otherwise he suspected that the green apple tree by the forest lake would have been plucked bare by him.

"My dear Mr. Snake, two golden apples are not enough, can three be exchanged for one of your scales?"

On the fifth night, Dong Jin, who had picked up another golden apple after searching for it, had just reached the center of the forest when Snake, with a word of "get out", sent him away in front of Sibel's increasingly indescribable gaze.

Satisfied with Snake's speed, Dong Jin immediately turned around and returned to the biscuit castle without even finding an excuse.

The atmosphere in the sky city became more and more depressing in the past two days. Although he used the illusion ability of the butterfly chrysalis to create an illusion of himself sleeping in the dormitory, he was still prepared to stay in the sky as much as possible.

However, Snake couldn't control his temper and was driven away by him after just a few words. However, Silk Belle was not so easy to fool.

When Dong Jin was about to leave the forest, she took the time to follow him and said, "Someone suddenly came into the forest this afternoon to inquire about my situation. Did you receive any news in the sky?"

Hearing this, Dong Jin paused for a moment, then turned his head and replied with a smile: "I didn't hear any news, but I saw a spider web. Silk Belle, is that your web?"

Dong Jin has been busy promoting the plot these days, and Silk Belle is obviously not idle either.

Dong Jin lowered the silver chain every night. But when he went back these two nights, he keenly felt that the feel of the chain was not right. Compared with the previous coldness, the surface of his chain had a very subtle sticky feeling.

If I had to describe it, it was like the touch of a sticky spider web.

Dong Jin, who noticed something was wrong, immediately turned around along the chain. After a while, he found a translucent spider web formed from bottom to top not far from the chain.

It is difficult to weave a spider web from the ground to the sky without a support, but it is different with this silver chain as a medium.

Since discovering his whereabouts the night before, Sibel had her men follow the silver chain up, and then reweave a web around the point where he landed in the sky. After all, the place he chose to land must be safer than anywhere else.

Now that the spider web is almost formed, it doesn't matter whether his silver chain is there or not.

Thinking of this, Dong Jin also took the opportunity to point this out, leaving Sibel, who originally wanted to question him, speechless for a moment. What

else can she say?

This kind of thing is obvious. She deliberately hid the web from Dong Jin, only because she wanted to compete with him.

Sibel also unlocked the mission of optimal evolution early. Dong Jin needed the golden apple, and she needed it too.

But just like she would not cut the silver chain that Dongjin brought back, Dongjin would not destroy her spider web for the time being. After all, they were still in the same camp, and they had to maintain a superficial peace for a while before attacking the sky.

[Ah, Sibel was very smart to secretly weave a web. It seems that she still doesn't fully trust Dongjin's camp. But being smart is useless. I saw what Dongjin did these days, especially when he picked apples, it seemed like he was identifying the poison, and then put the most poisonous ones in the most conspicuous place... For a moment, I didn't know which of them was the spider and who was weaving a web.]

[Who said that only spiders can weave webs? When my brother Jin first lowered the silver chain, he had already firmly tied the heaven and the earth in his net! Wuwuwu, brother Jin, do you feel that there is a person missing from your net? Please let me fall into your love net! I will not struggle at all! ］

Because of the conversation with Sibel, Dong Jin's movement of climbing the silver chain was slightly delayed for a while.

Although the previous few nights were calm and no one disturbed him, he always felt that something would happen tonight.

Others might think that this was an illusion, but Dong Jin would not - after wandering between life and death for so long, his sense of danger has long been far beyond that of ordinary people. It is this sensitivity that has allowed him to survive until now.

Just in case, Dong Jin did not go back through the main entrance this time. Instead, he took advantage of the cover of night and quietly observed the movements on the dormitory floor from the high tower.

After vaguely seeing only a candlelight flickering on that floor, Dong Jin gradually realized something and climbed directly into his room through the window.

He quietly withdrew the bracelet on the door handle, removed the illusion in the room, and then messed up the bed a little, pretending to have just woken up and wanted to get out of bed to drink water, and walked past the door.

The castle's sound insulation was not very good, so Dong Jin deliberately increased his steps.

Just as he walked past the wooden door, a hesitant voice came from outside the door: "Sir... are you awake?"

Under the moonlight, Dong Jin opened the door.

The candle shadow he saw just now was indeed the little prince holding a candle and waiting at the door
