He couldn’t figure out how a great goddess like her used ordinary pots and pans to make something as terrible as this.
This thing is poisonous!
Seeing the dark green smoke wafting out of the basin that seemed to form a skull, he couldn’t help but gulp, “Do I really have to eat this?”
“Just eat it, damn it!” she pouted as she returned to her spot on the sofa.
“Ah, um, listen, I know you made this because of what happened last night, and I’m not an unreasonable person, but…”
‘If you want me to eat this, you probably want me killed, right?’
“How about this?” he suggested. “I’ll do the cooking; after my classes, I’ll buy some ingredients and cook.”
“Hmph!”
“What do you want to eat? As long as I can get the ingredients, I’ll make it.”
“For real?”
“Yes. It’ll taste better than boba, I promise.”
Hearing this, Jumeng couldn’t help but smile and say, “Forget it! I forgive you! If you apologise, I’ll consider it over.”
‘Me? Apologise?’ However, looking at the basin in front of him, he felt hesitant to speak.
“Forget it; I know you young people find it hard to apologise, so you can just apologise in your heart! By the way, there are four dishes, one soup, and one dessert. I don’t care that much about human food!”
“No problem,” Yibei smiled. “Also, could you help me with something?”
“Speak!”
“If you’re free, could you copy the memories of the cores that you ate? It will be useful to me.”
Although Lu Xu’s core contains the blood of a corrupted god, if it was swallowed by a goddess and she seems fine, it should be fine as well.
Furthermore, when I spoke with her previously, she mentioned that there was a discrepancy in Professor Ma’s project’s content.
Since the headless girl didn’t have any memories of Lu Xu, all of the memories must be with Jumeng!
It should be easy to connect the two once she finds that old man with the colourful shawl in her memories, too!
“Why are you suddenly interested in that kid’s memories?” Jumeng asked, suspicious.
“I took his place recently, and I am helping my professor continue his research. I need his memory very much.”
Jumeng knew that he could lie with a straight face, so she checked the imprint on her palm. Seeing that it didn’t glow, she dispelled her suspicions and shrugged: “Alright then. No problem!”
No matter what he’s trying to do, it isn’t breaching our contract. Who cares if he dies?
And even if he dies, she could easily revive him and, at worst, turn him into a monster.
“Copying it down isn’t the best choice, however,” Jumeng revealed. “First of all, it’s troublesome. Secondly, it is time-consuming for you to fully master his knowledge, so I suggest you use other methods.”
“Like?”
Jumeng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. “You may not know this, but many high-ranking urban legends, after swallowing a core, have special means to transfer the core’s memories and pass them onto others.”
“So, you’re telling me you can just give me his memories? Hurry then!”
If he directly obtained Lu Xu’s memories, things would be much easier than studying whatever Jumeng copied down.
“That’s impossible,” Jumeng sighed. “You’re just a human being. If I do that and you encounter something complex, you might go crazy right in front of me.”
I already am crazy, though. Just the other day, I was chatting with a sales attendant at the lipstick section of the pharmacy, and we were laughing and chatting about our favourite products. I got her phone number though! He thought.
“Although it is dangerous, if there is somebody kind (me) and powerful (me) who can help you make special potions, this wouldn’t be an issue.”
Jumeng spoke in vague terms since she herself wasn’t sure of the logistics behind it. However, being the tree that inherited Jumang’s power, she has knowledge that ordinary people can never reach. In terms of making potions, she is able to do so proficiently.
“But if you don’t have the money, it’ll be hard! Even somebody like me can’t afford the raw materials!”
After she spoke, she rubbed her index finger and thumb together towards Yibei, making an intentional gesture.
“If you want to extort my money, just say it! You don’t have to come up with such wild stories!”
“I’m doing this for your own good! And it doesn’t even cost that much! It’s all to protect that tiny, little human brain of yours!”
Yibei cursed inwardly, fully knowing she spent all her money on video games, spending it all on gacha. He still remembers how she wailed when she didn’t obtain the character she wanted.
“Fine, when I come back at night, I’ll buy the materials. What do you need?”
He figured this was the best-case scenario. This way, nobody would know his true intentions for obtaining Lu Xu’s memories.
“Let’s see, I need…” Jumeng said, and she suddenly smiled. “Actually, you don’t need to do all that. I know somebody, and we have a special channel. It is much cheaper than buying it yourself, so you just need to…”
“Give you the money.”
“See? You’re getting it!” she praised, cupping her hands towards Yibei.
Yibei sneered, took out his wallet, and placed his bank card in her hands: “Make sure you swipe the card when the time comes!”
“Thank you!” Jumeng patted his shoulders. “When the time comes, I’ll make sure you remember everything—from his research down to his girlfriend’s favourite pose… I’ll make sure you know everything!”
“Ah… alright…”
It was fine if she didn’t leave out details like that. Being somebody from Gen Z, watching drama and gossip sustains the soul.
After being handed the bank card with a balance of no more than 1,000 yuan, he put on his backpack and left. Before he could reach the gate of the University, however, a series of texts were sent to his phone.
[You have withdrawn 400 yuan from your account. Summary: Personal account transfer.]
[You have withdrawn 500… Summary: Personal account transfer.]
[500… Summary: Personal account transfer.]
“What the hell? She already exceeded my credit limit!”
[2000… Summary: Dungeon and Heroes Coupon Recharge]
[…2000… Summary: Dungeon and Hero Coupon Recharge]
[…2000…]
“What the fuck?”
He didn’t know how Jumeng managed to syphon tens of thousands of dollars out of a bank card with a balance of less than 1,000 yuan! There must be a way for urban legends to do so, but he knew that if he didn’t do anything, he’d be in big trouble.
Without a second thought, he immediately took out his phone and logged onto his bank, filled out a form, and restricted consumption of the card. Plus, he transferred 90% of his deposit to the expiration date.
Soon, the string of transactions finally stopped.
‘Hah! Not even a goddess can withstand the power of technology! I’ll deal with her bitch ass once I get back!’
Meanwhile, at Jingyi Apartments.
“Kekekeke…”
Seeing all of her coupons being recharged, she couldn’t help but let out an evil laugh.
“With these coupons, I’ll be able to dumpster those noobs like nothing! All thanks to that sucker who gave me his card, hah! This is like an endless offering to a goddess!”
“One more coupon, I need to… What? Why can’t I…”
Seeing that she had failed to recharge her coupons, she was stunned. She re-entered the password and tried to do so again, only to see the imprint on the back of her hand glowing.
The imprint frequently lit up—every time she would come out of the shower or whenever the slit of her dress would reveal her thigh too much. The mark will always glow lightly.
However, in broad daylight, the imprint of her hand was dazzling and blinding, and she couldn’t help but shiver.
A shiny magpie flew into Lu Yibei’s unit through the window and found Jumeng sitting on the balcony.
The goddess was smoking a cigarette, and she looked at the sky with a solemn expression.
The magpie landed on her shoulder and tilted its head: “Mistress! I brought you something! Its-“
“O’ Little Magpie, I feel that I have reached a hurdle I cannot cross. I’m afraid that kid wants to kill me.”
“Oh? Didn’t you say that you had formed an alliance with him and that it was amicable and fruitful? What did you do?”
“Well, I was just using his bank card to recharge my video game credits… Isn’t he being too stingy to a goddess?”
…
The magpie was silent, but all it could think of was, “You deserved it!”
He couldn’t figure out how a great goddess like her used ordinary pots and pans to make something as terrible as this.
This thing is poisonous!
Seeing the dark green smoke wafting out of the basin that seemed to form a skull, he couldn’t help but gulp, “Do I really have to eat this?”
