Chapter 215 But unfortunately, I am not a bootlicker.
Chapter 215 But unfortunately, I am not a bootlicker.
“You came at the right time.”
The materials sent by the Beggars Society this time will undoubtedly fit perfectly with the next card Russell is going to make.
"Can we collect all the materials today?"
Thinking of this, he continued to check other materials.
But it was obvious that Russell was overthinking it.
The materials that came after that were all mediocre, and 99% of them were below the silver level.
But think about it, there are only a few gold-level members of the Begging Spirit Society in the entire Donglai, including Moyu.
"Never mind. Even if there is only one copy, it's good enough."
After putting away the Gold-level [Cold-blooded Fraudster] (Red), Russell threw the remaining materials to the squid: "See if there is anything you need, take it yourself."
Seeing this, the squid was surprised: "Really?"
"Ouch."
Russell glanced at the middle-aged man Niu Ma and said, "Don't take too much. These are operating funds."
Even though Russell said this, Cuttlefish still couldn't stop smiling.
Being able to choose in advance is already a great benefit. Moreover, although Liu Ye said not to take too much, he did not say that you can only take one.
It turned out that bribing that gossipy woman in Nandu to stay with Sixth Master was the right choice.
Leaving Cuttlefish happily selecting materials aside, Russell looked at the blank contract in his hand.
“It’s exactly the same as what I signed.”
He sighed, and just as he was about to put away the contracts, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to his mind.
"Really. Being a student for so long has made me timid."
Russell thought of how to get rid of Xie Ziying.
"Besides, Lu Xi from the Qiling Society did this. What does it have to do with me, Russell?"
A cruel smile appeared on his face. Since he had started to contact him, he must have been prepared, right?
"Master, I've chosen it."
The voice of Inkfish beside him brought Russell back to reality.
At this moment, the middle-aged man felt a little frightened, because in his eyes, Sixth Master suddenly showed an extremely evil smile for some reason.
Just like the villain.
Oh, I’m a villain too, that’s okay.
The cuttlefish became bolder again.
And it turned out that Liu Ye's smile was not directed at him.
"Hide your whereabouts recently. I will find you if there is anything later."
"Yes."
Watching the middle-aged man disappear in the factory, Russell immediately summoned Spider-Man.
There are also two lunch boxes.
"Try it. This is the most delicious lunch you've ever eaten in your life."
As soon as Spider-Girl appeared, she heard some very vicious words coming from Russell's mouth.
But there was no way. In my memory, I was a spider girl who stayed at home and had no excuse to refute.
I could only drink two large bowls with tears in my eyes.
"woo"
Looking at the white spider with tears in its eyes and its body stiff, Russell was stunned: "What? Is there poison in the food?"
The spider girl raised her tearful face after the beautification and looked at Russell: "It's all cold and not tasty."
“And the beef is a little tough.”
"Little Spider, as a gourmet, I declare that this love bento is inferior!"
Russell was silent for a moment, then said with a headache: "I'll ask the Ghost Corps to give you a snack later."
"Okay ヽ(▽)ノ!"
"Before that, let's go to a bad woman's house."
"Hum hum"
In a small townhouse, Xie Ziying was using the shower to rinse the foam off her body, humming an unknown tune.
As the sound of running water gradually subsided, she began to wipe it carefully with a towel.
“Finally, we’ve taken the first step.”
"From now on, we just need to follow the steps."
The woman changed into her pajamas, turned off the bathroom light and walked out.
But when I saw the dark living room, I was stunned: "Didn't I turn on the light?"
Just as she was groping for the switch, a calm voice sounded in her ears: "Are you done washing?"
"sit."
Xie Ziying froze and turned around to escape from home.
But when he turned around, he saw a huge, ferocious white spider staring at him.
The scarlet compound eyes flashed dangerously.
The sense of threat coming from him made Xie Ziying's hair stand on end.
She was certain that if she took one more step back, death would be the only thing that would greet her.
After a moment's silence, the woman obediently sat down on the sofa.
At this time, a figure whose face could not be seen clearly was sitting quietly on the main sofa.
"Snapped."
The lights suddenly came on, causing Xie Ziying to squint slightly.
Glancing sideways, I saw that the spider walked to the switch and turned on the light with its slender and sharp limbs.
There were also bursts of terrifying roars coming from his mouth.
The man and the spider are naturally Russell and Spider-Girl.
Ignoring the spider girl who was saying in his ear, "What do you think, little Spider, I said this would definitely scare this bad woman, hahaha." Russell had a weird smile on his face.
Just now, Spider-Man shared her latest identification information.
----
【Name: Xie Ziying】
【Title: Twisted Desire】
[Level: Silver]
[Holding card: ???]
----
"Silver level? You hid it quite well."
Xie Ziying, who was wondering about the identity of the strange man in front of her, was startled when she heard this. She immediately frowned and said, "Who are you?"
"What do you need me to do?"
The situation was stronger than the person. The oppressive feeling given to her by the spider monster next to her was so strong that she had no desire to resist at all.
It would be better to ask the other party directly about his purpose. If he wanted to kill her, he would have done it long ago.
However, having said that, Xie Ziying still felt a little unwilling.
"If it were later"
"Wait until I tame him."
"whispering sound"
Russell didn't care what the woman in front of him was thinking, he just took out a contract with Jinping from his arms.
"Sign it."
Seeing the contract, Xie Ziying's pupils suddenly shrank: "Are you from the Qiling Society?"
Seeing that his identity was recognized, Russell remained calm and just repeated what he had just said: "Sign it."
Seeing that the strange young man did not deny his identity, Xie Ziying looked a little embarrassed for a moment: "You know who I am?"
"It doesn't matter, sign it."
"Or die here."
Russell's cold voice rang out in the living room.
"Impossible!" Xie Ziying knew clearly what the contract in front of her represented.
Although she is keen on taking those cheap men as her dogs, it does not mean that she is willing to be someone else's dog.
"."
Russell didn't say anything, just stood up.
The next moment, the spider's sickle-like forelimbs, emitting a dangerous purple light, came to Xie Ziying's neck.
"I sign!"
At this time, the sharp blade was only a few centimeters away from the woman's neck.
"laugh"
The sticky purple liquid dripped onto Xie Ziying's shoulders, instantly corroding large pieces of flesh.
"Ah~"
A sweet cry was heard.
Xie Ziying's eyes were red and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes.
A normal man would definitely feel pity for her when seeing her like this.
"Put away your little tricks." However, Russell just looked indifferent.
Just at this moment, bursts of roaring sounds rang in the woman's ears, causing her whole body to stiffen.
It's Spider-Man.
"Ah~ How disgusting! Little Spider, I'm getting goosebumps."
"Russell, you must not be soft-hearted. She is definitely a bad woman!"
Although in Russell's ears it was Spider-Man performing a stand-up comedy, in Xie Ziying's ears it was an absolute threat.
She endured the pain in her shoulder, picked up a pen and signed her name on the contract in front of her.
"The contract is concluded."
A faint whisper echoed in the void, announcing the formation of the contract.
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
"It seems you didn't make the wrong choice."
Seeing this, Russell showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Xie Ziying, who had already boarded the pirate ship, immediately lowered her attitude and asked, "What's your name, sir?"
"What do you want from me?"
Hearing this, Russell put his right hand on the edge of the sofa with a half-smile: "My name is Lu Xi, you can call me whatever you want."
"As for finding you today."
"Tell me about your origins and your identity."
"And your purpose for coming to Donglai."
"Yes, Lord Lu." Xie Ziying's face was full of flattery, "I am Beidu."
However, just as she was about to tell her fabricated story, she was horrified to find that she could no longer control her mouth.
The sound of mechanical reading continued to come out of her mouth.
"My name is Xie Ziying, I'm 67 years old, female, and from the Northern Capital of the Ming Dynasty."
Russell was stunned at this time. He really didn't expect that Xie Ziying was already 67 years old.
You can't tell from the outside.
"Speaking of which"
"Doesn't that mean she can become Lu Ze's grandmother?"
Thinking of the boy's servile appearance, Russell couldn't help but feel a chill.
But when he thought about how he often debated swordplay with Unohana Retsu, whose age was unknown, he felt a little guilty for a moment.
"Now he is a silver-level card maker, but he is not registered with the association."
"In the past, I made a living by doing dirty work for those big shots. Because those big shots gave me prop cards to cover up my aura, no one knew my identity as a card maker."
Russell then understood why he had not realized that the old woman in front of him was a card maker.
"I came to Donglai this time because the Beidu Sun family assigned me a mission after the national competition."
"The mission goal is to charm Russell, the new vice president of Donglai."
In just a few words, the old woman revealed everything about herself.
Xie Ziying covered her mouth in a daze. Only then did she realize how sinister the contract she had just signed was.
"Is that so?" After hearing the old woman's self-explosion, Russell touched his chin thoughtfully, "You want to seduce that genius with your looks alone?"
He also had some guesses as to why the Sun family issued this task.
It was simply because he had a conflict with the Wu family before, and his performance in the national competition was too dazzling.
Russell still understood the principle that the lips and teeth are interdependent.
Besides, why didn't these people dare to do this in Nandu before?
It should be because of the existence of the lonely old peach.
Haven’t you seen that the grass on the grave of the Wu family, where the Qiling Society had attacked, is already three meters high?
Xie Ziying seemed to be giving up on herself at this moment: "Of course not, my cards are not very powerful."
"But he's definitely good at this kind of thing."
As she spoke, she summoned two prop cards and handed them to Russell: "Please have a look, sir."
Russell took the card curiously, and the information instantly popped into his mind.

characteristic:

----
Although the first card is called [Soul-catching Mirror], it actually looks like an old-fashioned camera based on the card surface.
"What a joke."
Russell curled his lips and said that why he thought of his senior sister and Nanxi when he first met Xie Ziying, now it seems that the other party should have fed the relevant photos to this prop card.
He turned his attention to the second card.
----

"I see."
After checking the second card information, Russell said in an inexplicable tone: "No wonder you are so confident."
He now understood why Lu Yan's son looked like that.
I'm afraid even Lu Yan doesn't know what kind of fire pit he has pushed his son into.
This red-quality, silver-level item card is undeniably powerful. Although it has almost no direct combat power, it is very convenient for playing dirty tricks instead.
Xie Ziying smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing compared to the methods of our Begging Spirit Society. It's just a small trick."
"And it takes much longer to control a gold-level being than a silver-level one."
Handing the two cards back to Xie Ziying, Russell showed a hint of curiosity on his face: "Can I ask what you plan to do after you control that genius?"
Hearing this, the old woman said as a matter of course: "Is there any need to say that?"
"Of course I'll let that genius work like a slave for me."
"Haha, I'm afraid other people would never have thought that the proud child in front of others would be like that in private, right?"
As if thinking of Russell's miserable state after the mission was completed, Xie Ziying laughed strangely: "And I have never controlled the disciple of a master card maker before."
"Wouldn't it be great if Russell could make some excessive demands on his teacher?"
Seeing the gloomy look on the young man beside her, Xie Ziying quickly said, "Of course, my dog is also a dog of the guild."
"All the materials we have collected will be handed over."
Spider-Girl, who had listened to everything, was shocked. "Wow, Russell, this woman is such an evil woman."
"Why don't we let Spider-sama take care of her right here?"
Ignoring Spider-Girl who was sharpening her knife, Russell looked at the flattering woman in front of him with a dark look in his eyes and asked an irrelevant question: "Do you have surveillance or something like that?"
Xie Ziying was startled, not knowing why the young man in front of her suddenly asked this question, but she still answered honestly: "No, in order to leave as few clues as possible, such things do not exist."
"That's good," Russell smiled.
Xie Ziying, who didn't know the situation, also laughed.
Spider-Girl also laughed.
Then Xie Ziying stopped laughing.
It wasn't because Spider-Girl's smile was a little creepy, but in her eyes, the face of the young man from the Begging Spirit Society in front of her kept moving, and gradually became a familiar look.
That's her mission objective.
"you!"
"shush"
Russell raised his index finger to his lips, forcibly interrupting Xie Ziying's exclamation: "To thank you for your loving lunch box."
"Now."
"Kill yourself."
