Chapter 162 That's good
Yu Xunge understood. That skill could indeed affect mind reading. The 30% damage reduction effect meant that the thoughts read were not as complete, but leaking some keywords could be fatal at times.
Yu Xunge hadn't given up yet: "Then can you try guiding my thoughts?"
With the mindset of finishing this mess as soon as possible and getting rid of this troublemaker, Bao Paijiu resignedly began to think to himself: "Bao Paijiu has had a tough time too, I should probably stop now."
Yu Xunge felt a thought naturally arise in her mind: it's not easy for Bao Pai Jiu either, maybe we should just give up.
If she hadn't been mentally prepared, she wouldn't have suspected that the idea was brought up by Bao Pai Jiu, and even the 30% damage reduction from mental skills couldn't affect the skill's effect.
And isn't guiding one's thoughts considered mind control?
Or perhaps her mental resilience wasn't strong enough? Yu Xunge decided... no, to be quiet! She'd think about it when she got home.
Yu Xunge suppressed her thoughts and went straight to the point: "We can stop now. Let's call it even for yesterday."
Bao Pai Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. The reason she was willing to keep going along with this person was because she sensed that he wasn't ruthless and wasn't the kind of crazy person who would kill you if you crossed the line even slightly.
If there's something to talk about, then let's call it even. After all, it was wrong of her to use mind-reading skills on people—she'll do it again next time.
Yu Xunge continued, "Is it convenient to talk here?"
Bao Paijiu took out a lollipop and stood it upright in the middle of the table: "That's enough. Now only people who touch this table can hear the sound within 1 meter of it."
Yu Xunge had seen this lollipop in her past life. She examined it again and found that the effect was indeed the same as Baozi had said. She said, "I have some information about the eldest daughter of the Su family that I'm giving to you for free. You can sell it to anyone, whether it's the Liang family or the Li family, it's up to you. But you must sell one copy to someone from the Su family, such as Su Langfeng, Su Baige, or Su Jinxuan."
Baozi wasn't so easily fooled. She raised her index finger and shook it: "You need me to do the dirty work for you because it's inconvenient for you to reveal your identity. That's a separate price."
Compared to the deal involving the Liang family a few months ago, Baozi is clearly much more shrewd now. However, Yu Xunge is not surprised; she already knew how clever Baozi was: "Is information about the eldest daughter of the Su family worthless?"
Baozi: "One thing at a time. I can pay for your information, but it's a different price for me to help you pass on your messages."
Yu Xunge originally didn't plan to mention Su Yitong's talent, only intending to say that Su Yitong was using her divinely bestowed talent as tuition to cooperate with the Special Affairs Bureau. In fact, Su Yitong couldn't hide this matter, but she could reveal it in advance.
Since Baozi said so, she might as well make some money by selling Su Yitong. She said, "Then you'll probably have to pay me back. This news involves the Su family's eldest daughter's divine talent."
Before Baozi could speak, Yu Xunge added, "By the way, can you tell whether I'm rich or poor, or have a lot of money or a little today?"
Bao Paijiu finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Miss! Do you even know what color my underwear is?!"
Yu Xunge quickly waved her hand: "Grandma doesn't know, Grandma doesn't like this kind of thing, don't slander Grandma!"
Bao Paijiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes with a smile: "Grandma, let's talk this over properly. What level is this talent? How detailed is the information you can give me? If it's below B level, then we'll do what we agreed on at the beginning. You give me the information for free, and I'll do things for you. If it's B level or above, I'll do things for you and even give you money to buy the information."
Yu Xunge: "I only know the level of her divinely bestowed talent and one of her skills. The information is not detailed. How much are you willing to spend?"
This means grade B or above.
Bao Pai Jiu said, "B-grade is 3 gold, A-grade is 7 gold, and if it's S-grade, I'll give you 15 gold. After all, you only know one skill, and you said you don't know it in detail. If you knew more comprehensively, I would offer more."
Yu Xunge didn't waste any time: "Okay, she has an S-level talent. Her talent skill can give people a chance to increase their attribute points. The cooldown time is uncertain. She has recently been cooperating with the Special Affairs Bureau. She not only used this skill to exchange for the opportunity to train in the Special Affairs Bureau's training camp, but also used this skill to get the people from the Special Affairs Bureau to help her contract with that very popular dragon on the forum."
Using the Hope Hymn as leverage to ask the Special Affairs Bureau for help in fighting the dragon, and having professional teachers from the Special Affairs Bureau instruct him—if only one of these two things had happened, perhaps the head of the Su family could have tolerated it.
The fact that these two events happened one after the other undoubtedly sends a very clear signal—Su Yitong is starting to pay more attention to her personal development than to the Su family.
Would the Su family be willing for Su Yitong to use her S-level divinely bestowed skill talent to exchange for resources outside?
The answer is obvious: no.
In their view, Su Yitong could compete healthily with her brothers, Su Yitong could throw tantrums, and she could even freely draw from the Su family's treasury, but her most precious S-level talent could not be used on outsiders to exchange for resources for herself. Her talent belonged to the Su family.
Why was Yu Xunge able to analyze this point?
When news of Su Yitong's advanced healing skills that could repair severed limbs spread in her previous life, everyone happened to be having dinner together at the Yu family's house. At that time, Su Yitong even joked that her skills were not meant to be used as a private doctor for cats and dogs.
Before the meal was even finished, the Su family issued a notice on behalf of Su Yitong, informing those who wanted to cooperate with Su Yitong that they could contact the head of the Su family for further discussion.
At that moment, Su Yitong's expression was terrifying, but Yu Xunge could sense a hint of pity in it.
"What belongs to Su Yitong belongs to the Su family, and everything she does is decided by the head of the Su family." Given Su Yitong's personality, this approach is simply an insult and a trampling on her dignity.
Not long after that, Su Jinxuan died.
Yu Xunge would never have connected these two things before, but with more knowledge, experience, and understanding in this life, she has started to think more about some things. Many things may not be as simple as she saw in her previous life; what she knew before was only the surface.
She actually made a risky move, with a success rate of only 90%.
However, if the right move is made, it could trigger the conflict between Su Yitong and the Su family ahead of time, and it is highly likely that Su Yitong, who is currently in a weaker position, will be the first to back down.
What if she takes the wrong turn? Then she can just take another route.
Yu Xunge accepted the 12 gold coins from Baozi and stood up to leave, but Bao Paijiu stopped her: "Want to add each other as friends?" She thought he was a capable person, cautious in character, decisive yet gentle in his methods, and worth getting to know.
Yu Xunge was extremely surprised: "Then what's the point of me turning into a cat and a milk? Please tell me."
Bao Pai Jiu: "...ok...I'm fine."
Yu Xunge: "That's good then."
After saying that, she turned and left. She had to go back to sleep. If she didn't go to sleep early, her biological clock, which she had finally managed to get back on track, would be messed up again until midnight.
I really don't understand why Bao Pai Jiu would do the "Blood Licking on the Edge" stunt at night. Wouldn't it be better to find a day shift?!
