Chapter 48 Belllit 40

In fact, Chu Cheng didn't have such a strong intention to kill Golden Hat at the beginning. He even thought that if Golden Hat could really work for him steadily, it would not be impossible to spare Golden Hat's life and let him live to the end. After all, Golden Hat and he were of the same kind in a sense. He knew how to figure out Chu Cheng's thoughts very well, and talking to smart people made Chu Cheng feel relaxed.

But the problem was that Golden Hat was too smart, and had exceeded the upper limit Chu Cheng gave him, especially when he had a lot of information gap that Chu Cheng didn't know. Not to mention anything else, just the pits he dug for Chu Cheng these few times were deeper and more mines buried.

Chu Cheng knew that this was the way that the Golden Hat was testing his ability, and it was also a way to make their cooperation more stable, but it also proved that the Golden Hat was a real bomb. In terms of cunning, although Chu Cheng's meticulousness and planning ability were definitely comparable to the Golden Hat, the Golden Hat had not lived for thousands of years in vain, and Chu Cheng was easily led into a trap by him.

Rather than saying that it was like in the comics, where he turned the tables and swept Carl and the others around, the Golden Hat had also participated in many of his steps so far. Therefore, the Golden Hat must be eliminated, it was just a matter of time.

However, this comic update also gave Chu Cheng a lot of information. Not to mention the comic's out-of-context interception method, the information it revealed directly was enough to be shocking. He really didn't expect that Bellit, a country with singing and dancing on the surface but dirty and flowing water behind the scenes, was actually united in a certain goal.

The royal family wanted to overthrow the God of the Sky together with the top leaders, so they had to create a team that could kill gods. The God of the Sky wanted to overthrow the goddess of fate who had always been hanging over his head, so he wanted to create a god.

Chu Cheng temporarily had doubts in his heart about Carl being a god. To put it bluntly, he is not from this world, and it is easy to understand from the reader's perspective. The protagonist revealed this identity too early, and he exploded before he even faced the villain a few times, and even before he failed. How could a boy's comic be played like this?

Chu Cheng and the readers have the same mentality towards this God of the Sky, Pence, they are skeptical and even have a high probability of not believing it. The comics have proved that Lilith is the little girl they treated in Altaco, which proves that the God of the Sky actually has a way to confirm Carl's location, and He has sent people to find Carl, and even helped Carl leave Altaco.

Even if Carl is really a god, Chu Cheng doesn't believe that awakening the god as the God of the Sky said is a simple ritual. There must be something hidden, but Carl, the goddess of fate, and the God of the Sky have a missing lock point, which Chu Cheng didn't find, resulting in his failure to connect this ring. Chu Cheng

rubbed his forehead and put the matter of Carl and the God of the Sky aside for the time being. His two most important tasks now are to use Lance's skin to stir up a business crisis in Bellit, and to investigate the deepest secrets hidden in the Golden Hat.

Chu Cheng had already given the order at the meeting. No matter what, with Scott and Oliver in charge, the old sly guys had to do it symbolically even if they didn't want to listen to his orders. And he needed this symbolism. Sure

enough, within a few days, the newspapers began to publish reports about the serious ecological problems caused by the eruption of the Ferog volcano, the toxic races such as the Lizardmen began to release a large amount of toxins, causing a serious border crisis, and a large number of frontline personnel developed lung and body diseases.

If that were all, it would obviously not be true enough, but such news could attract more reporters' attention. They crossed the cordon of the Ferrog danger zone, photographed a large number of patients who became ill due to the toxin, and published them in newspapers. For a time, people in Bellit were panicking, worrying whether the deadly toxin would drift to their doorsteps in the middle of the night.

Some citizens even marched in protest, demanding to build a magic defense between Bellit and Ferrog to drive out all the poisonous races, and the racial issue was also brought to the public.

When the matter had fermented a little, Chu Cheng sent people to spread the news that cattails could treat toxins. Two days later, a group of people who claimed to be experts in potion science were arranged to oppose the therapeutic effect of cattails in newspapers. As time went by, the discussion about toxins in the newspapers became less and less, and more and more debates were made about whether cattails could really cure diseases.

But how could it be enough to have only the potion master to be punished? Chu Cheng also arranged for so-called "experts" from many fields, such as historians and artists, to be punished. From a historical perspective, historians threw out examples that cattails had indeed cured diseases and saved lives in the past, and artists proved its authenticity by sharing that cattails had been used as ornaments for the royal family.

Soon, in less than a week, the original discussion about toxins had disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely intense discussion across the country about the importance of cattails. At this moment, the time was ripe, and Chu Cheng released the news that cattails were purchased in large quantities by a mysterious businessman, and brought back the news about toxins.

By this time, public opinion had finally reached its peak. Even if the top leaders responded and began to control the discussion about toxins and cattails, it was too late. The official's fate made the public more certain that this was the official's attempt to cover up the public's mouth. In fact, it is very simple to make people believe something. Don't tell them, but let them guess.

When they have an answer in their mind, no matter what kind of excuse it is, they will be refuted in various ways. The truth they believe is the truth.

As time went by, the panic of the people buying cattails was infinitely magnified. At this time, several sales channels arranged by Chu Cheng began to sell cattails at high prices. In this way, a small cattail that could not even be called a weed was sold at a sky-high price in just a few days, relying on Chu Cheng's ability to control people's hearts and hype.

However, the amount of cattails was not large, and under Chu Cheng's control, the number of people who bought cattails was not large. At this moment, the goods that Chu Cheng had arranged for others to buy at a low price came in handy.

"Rumors" came that there were several other plants that had the same effect as cattails, but the amount required was larger. Naturally, this batch of plants that were no different from weeds were also snapped up at an astonishingly high price in just a few days.

At this point, it doesn't matter whether cattail and other plants really have medicinal effects. The most important thing is whether people have them and whether some have more than others. Blind herd mentality and the desire to compare have jointly contributed to this scam.

At the end of this storm, Chu Cheng received several letters from other merchants in the rally, all of which were complimenting Chu Cheng. Apart from anything else, this business scam can be said to have almost zero cost, but it made tens of millions for nothing, which is completely a huge profit.

Chu Cheng didn't intend to reply to any of the letters sent by these people, because he had just cheated the people of Bellit out of a lot of money, and he had to pay it back one by one in a more ostentatious way.

But he would definitely not send the money back in the name of Lance. Wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face right after he had done the job? Remember, besides the villain Lance, he also has the mysterious magician who occasionally acts as a good guy.

Finally, after being silent for a long time without receiving any missions, Yin (Moyi), who had been alone in the base for a long time, finally received a letter from his dear big brother.

"Send money? And attach a message..."

Yin looked at the message he received, and his little head was filled with big doubts, but this did not prevent him from firmly carrying out his boss's mission. This night was destined to be a sleepless night. The lights of thousands of houses were always on, and countless sad people cried at their desks. In this carnival of capitalists, everyone got what they wanted, and only the innocent people were plundered of their hard-earned savings.

But Chu Cheng was not really trying to make this money, so he changed into a magician's outfit and transferred a large amount of cash to thousands of households based on the supernatural points marked on all the plants sold.

Such a bold move was also fortunately due to the fact that Chu Cheng, who had just updated the comics, had a lot of popularity in his hands, otherwise he really couldn't withstand such harm. Just like that, piles of cash and a beautifully designed envelope were sent to the homes of every victim.

[Cheers to the Dark Night, Bringing You Hope]

This comic brought Chu Cheng more than just one good thing. What made him happiest was that he won first place in the popularity ranking this time, eliminating both debuffs at once. For the first time, Chu Cheng felt relieved without debuffs. Now

most of the gray area has been taken. They can give the title of president whether they want to or not, so it's time to study the matter of the Golden Hat.

Judging from the messages sent to Chu Cheng by the system, the Golden Hat didn't seem to do anything during this period of time. He was very well behaved. Even when he contacted the orcs to provoke him, he did it perfectly, and it was difficult to catch any clues. It's

a bit difficult to start from this aspect. Chu Cheng touched his chin. In fact, his biggest doubt about Golden Hat is which country he is a native of. He once asked Golden Hat if he was from Ferrog, but he refused at that time.

Although it is not ruled out that Golden Hat said it casually and deceived Chu Cheng, Chu Cheng feels that Golden Hat is unlikely to affect his reputation in such a matter. But Copoa is directly ruled out. In the kingdom of the God of Daylight, vampires cannot survive no matter what.

Yakoping feels unlikely either. After being pushed out by the upper country, Golden Hat will not be as relaxed as he is now. No matter how to infer, Chu Cheng feels that it is more likely that Golden Hat is a native of Bellit, and he obviously has different feelings towards Bellit.

However, Chu Cheng, who had immigrated to Belllit and was a prominent vampire family, searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone who met the identity of the Golden Hat. If it wasn't a big family, the top management wouldn't have to be so jealous of a small retail investor. What's more, the Golden Hat could live for more than a thousand years and experienced the twilight of the gods. This was not something an ordinary vampire could do.

For a moment, Chu Cheng's train of thought came to a deadlock.

He unconsciously turned the pen in his hand, leaving a series of ink marks on the white paper in front of the table, soaking the paper and poking a hole. Chu Cheng picked up the pen, pulled out the tissue next to him and wiped the table, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over a report from the Sky Laboratory that he had taken away, which recorded the earliest false experimental subject A001.

In a flash, Chu Cheng suddenly had an idea in his mind, which was not bold, but had always limited his thinking. That is, why must the Golden Hat be a vampire?

This question should not be asked in this way. To be precise, why must the Golden Hat always be a vampire, and why must it migrate with the family? Chu Cheng still could not completely abandon the thinking of real life. There was nothing he could do about it. No matter how strong his adaptability was, he could not imprint the habits of all creatures in the Ten Thousand Worlds Continent in his mind in a short period of time and use them whenever he wanted.

So he forgot a very classic setting of vampires, the first possession. In real life literary works, powerful, pure-blooded, high-level vampires usually have the ability of first possession, that is, to transform humans into vampires, and the transformed vampires usually remain at the moment of transformation, neither born nor dead, maintaining a state similar to the living dead.

So, is there a possibility that the Golden Hat was once a human, or some other race, and was first possessed by a vampire? This conjecture immediately helped Chu Cheng open up his mind.

This can also explain why the Golden Hat said that he was not a Ferrog. Because if the Golden Hat was once a human, then he really didn't need to be a native of Ferrog, because he was not a dark night race at all.

Following this reasoning, many existing clues can also be connected into one line. Vampires are one of the few creatures that have the ability to switch species, which is completely coincidental with the genetic transformation in Belllit's laboratory to some extent.

Perhaps, to make a bolder guess, the Golden Hat may be the original participant in the genetic experiment thousands of years ago. However, Belllit did not have the ability to conduct genetic experiments at the time and could only try vampire transformation.

In this case, it may mean that the Golden Hat knew that Belllit wanted to kill the gods, or that the God of the Sky wanted to overthrow the Goddess of Fate. Either way, it is indeed worth it for him to go to the negotiation table.

But just having the chips is not enough. The Golden Hat has the chips, but it does not necessarily mean that he will have a place at the negotiation table. Otherwise, as long as the Golden Hat is crushed to death, all the secrets will be buried in the ground, and there will be no possibility of exposure.

Therefore, the Golden Hat is not only closely connected with Bellit, he must also be connected with high-level officials of other countries, and even with gods, so that he can at least convey Bellit's secrets to the ears of the goddess of fate before he dies.

Only in this way can it be explained how the high-level officials of Bellit have achieved such a weird balance with the Golden Hat. Therefore, there is still one thing missing in this closed loop, that is, the relationship spectrum of the Golden Hat.

But the plot has come to this point, Chu Cheng believes that it won't be long before all these things will be dug out by him one by one. Thinking of this, Chu Cheng turned the pen in his hand, and then froze it instantly. With a slight force on his fingertips, he crushed the expensive pen.

Gray eyes looked at everything coldly, as if they wanted to destroy all those who offended him one by one, like crushing this pen.

On the other side, Carl was having a hard time. Although the incident last time was not traced back to them because of Chu Cheng's help, the mission failed, so they were not eligible to accept high-paying missions in the short term.

What was even more worrying was Lilina's disappearance. The moment they stepped into the hotel again, Lima could not hide his shock when he saw his supernatural power disappear. Tatarina reacted immediately, pushed Carl aside and rushed into the bathroom, then stared blankly at the empty bathtub.

Even Carl was a little overwhelmed by the continuous blows. But they couldn't ask for help from anyone in this matter. Once the news about Lilina got out, it wouldn't just be them who would suffer. The victims who were still trapped in the laboratory might also meet with misfortune.

So, they could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger, and try to find Lilina themselves. But it was not easy to find a child who couldn't even speak fully in a country where they were unfamiliar with. Not to mention that the three of them were not penniless, but at least they were broke. It was even a problem to feed the three of them.

Uncle Oliver, who had been kind enough to take care of them, said that he had something going on at home and would not be in the hotel for a while. It was not good for them to stay in the hotel and eat for free, so they could only try to find other jobs.

This time, it was Tatarina who offered another way out.

"Underground fighting?!"

Facing two shocked faces, Tatarina calmly patted their shoulders. She sat cross-legged on the bed, rolled up her long hair that was just a little wet after washing, put a pen in it, and analyzed it for the two people.

"There are many types of underground fighting, pure physical fighting, magic attack, human and monster, monster and monster, everything. You know, the big guys like to watch the same kind of fighting, which makes them feel elegant and superior."

Tatarina, with a baby face, mercilessly called the big guys fat pigs, and showed her desire to slaughter pigs without any care.

"I really think this is the best way for us to make money. We don't have a temporary residence permit, so we can't work in Bellit. We've been warned by the Hunter Guild, so the only reliable way is to go underground. And let's not talk about anything else, Carl, you and I are almost as strong as each other, and I have supernatural powers. To be honest, I don't think you can beat me in a pure meat game. There are few who can beat you. Needless to say, my fighting instinct is definitely enough. If the three of us go boxing, we can earn enough to buy a house, not to mention enough money to eat."

There was still some hesitation in Lima's eyes. It was not because he was afraid, but mainly because he was worried that if someone in the stands recognized who he was, it would not be good to spread the news that the eldest son of the Windsor family went underground to fight underground boxing.

Tatarina of course understood what he was thinking, and she patted his shoulder with a big hand.

"Don't worry, they can provide props for changing appearance. You know, many people there can't show their faces casually."

Carl looked at Tatarina with confusion, who had a soft face but talked to the basement.

"Tata, you seem to know a lot about this."

Tatarina turned her head, pinched Carl's slightly bulging cheeks, and said cruel words with a smile.

"Because the Leonard family has invested a lot in the underground industry in Bellit, I have relevant learning courses."

Tatarina looked at Carl's blue eyes with her eyes that always looked indifferent, and smiled.

"The nobles are always so dirty, aren't they?"
