"Little brother, could you let your uncle take a look at that Gold Soul Coin in your pocket?"
Watching the strange man who kept walking toward him, Tang San retreated a step timidly. "Th-this is my tuition..."
Seeing the timid look on the brat's face, the lecherous man burst into loud laughter.
"Going to school? So you're a little Spirit Master." As he spoke, he prepared to reach out and grab at Tang San's chest. "A future Spirit Master surely won't miss this little bit of money..."
He reached out toward Tang San.
However, at the exit of the alley behind the man who was currently committing the crime, two figures had quietly appeared.
"..."
"Can we please change things up for once?" The previously timid Tang San now wore a completely different expression.
He looked speechlessly at Du Hao and Zhu Zhuqing, who were currently dragging the adult man over from the opposite side.
"Stop talking nonsense and come over here to help."
With the three of them working together, the lecherous middle-aged man was finally carried into a hidden corner.
Immediately after, under Tang San's puzzled gaze, they pulled out adhesive tape and a glowing screen.
They skillfully taped the lecherous man's eyelids, doing their best to keep his eyes in an open state.
"Brother Hao, what are you doing?" Tang San asked Zhu Zhuqing curiously.
Ever since he had come here with Xiao Wu, the two of them had been taking turns playing the victim.
"You'll understand in a moment." Zhu Zhuqing, with her cold expression, crossed her arms and had no intention of explaining further.
"So mysterious..."
However, Tang San did not press the issue, quietly watching Du Hao tinker with things.
"Listen to me!" After successfully forcing the burly man's eyes to roll back, Du Hao held up the Unstable Hypnosis Phone and said, "You are a noble Spirit Master, a Spirit Master who has transcended low-level interests, a Spirit Master dedicated to the development and construction of the continent..."
After reciting a long string of knowledge intermittently, he casually tossed a red book into the burly man's arms.
He then put the phone back into his pocket, waved at Tang San, and said, "Done! Let's go find Xiao Wu!"
Seeing that Du Hao was finished, the impatient Tang San immediately trotted over and asked, "Brother Hao, what exactly are you doing?"
Zhu Zhuqing walked over from the side without saying anything; she naturally knew what this was about.
After all, she had been the first one to act as bait.
"That's obviously to save up starting capital," Du Hao said dismissively in response to Tang San's question.
As for the real reason...
It all started back when he was buying supplies to prepare for his spirit hunt, when he was extorted by a thug...
[Ding! Extortion detected!] [Option 1 (White): Prioritize life, lose a little money to ensure safety! Reward: 100,000 Gold Soul Coins.] [Option 2 (Black): Disregard life and death, fight if you're not convinced! Beat him up! Reward: Golden AK Infinite Ammo.] [Option 3 (Special): It's time to use magical little gadgets! Use hypnosis on them! Reward: Spirit Ring age +10 (Claimable x54).]
Just like that, Du Hao, who should have hunted for a spirit ring long ago, had delayed until today.
However, it wasn't without its benefits; at the very least, the rewards he had accumulated now totaled 540 years.
Even if he obtained a ten-year white spirit ring now, he could forcibly stack it into a yellow spirit ring of over five hundred years.
"A-Hao, Xiao Wu's target is the last one," Zhu Zhuqing reminded him, her gaze fixed tightly on the burly man following behind Xiao Wu not far away.
Yes, another unlucky soul.
Tang San, already prepared, began readying the tools in his hands.
The three-piece set: a sack, a black club, and a brick.
"He's already entered the alley. Go, go, go! Let's finish this early so we can head back!" As he spoke, Du Hao clutched his brick and chased after them into the alley.
As for Tang San, he used his agile movement technique to scale the walls, holding the most crucial control item—the sack—in his hands.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, who walked at the back unhurriedly, she kept weighing the black club in her hand, the dangerous aura radiating from her eyes no longer hidden.
After these few days of travel, although they hadn't earned many Gold Soul Coins, her and Du Hao's practical combat experience had increased significantly, especially in the art of fighting dirty.
Not long after, a series of thumping sounds echoed from the alley, along with the muffled groans and pleas of the middle-aged man.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
Watching the sack wriggling before her, Xiao Wu raised her small foot and struck repeatedly at the spot she had predicted.
"You perverted freak! How dare you follow Big Sister Xiao Wu!" As she spoke, she kept striking the sack and kicking the area below.
To be honest, when they had baited this Spirit Master just now, Xiao Wu had truly felt a bit disgusted.
After all, that naked gaze, and the undisguised purpose of following behind him.
After several days of entrapment, this was the most disliked situation by Xiao Wu!
"Hao Ge, do you have any bricks left? Share one with me."
Facing the request of his meritorious subject Xiao Wu, Du Hao naturally had no reason to refuse. He directly handed over the red brick in his hand: "Here, take it, but don't break it."
It's still useful."
"Got it." After taking the brick, Xiao Wu directly revealed her violent rabbit side.
She struck five times in one second!
Du Hao and Tang San watched this scene with admiration, realizing that a rabbit, when provoked, would indeed bite.
As for the other side...
Zhu Zhuqing, who remained silent, was using a stick to repeatedly tap the watermelon at the top of the cloth bag.
The force of each strike was moderate, a dull thud that wouldn't injure the brain.
The rhythm was perfectly controlled.
As time passed, the movement inside the sack gradually weakened.
Tang San, who had been observing this scene, quickly reached out to stop the two girls from continuing their assault.
"Alright, alright! He should be unconscious by now." With that, Tang San loosened a gap in the mouth of the cloth bag and peeked inside.
As expected, the man had fallen into a sweet slumber.
"Hao Ge! It's done." After confirming the man wasn't faking unconsciousness, he called out to Du Hao behind him.
"This should be the last soul master in Nuoding City?" Du Hao said, using tape to open the man's eyes as usual.
Then, he took out the Unstable Hypnosis Camera and pointed it at the two eyes...
"You are a noble soul master, a soul master who has detached from low-level tastes, a soul master dedicated to the development and construction of the continent..."
While Du Hao was brainwashing him on the other side, Tang San suddenly leaned over and asked curiously, "Hao Ge, is the hypnosis function on your phone powerful?"
"What's up? Want to try it?" Du Hao raised an eyebrow and glanced at Tang San, asking teasingly.
"No, no, I'm just curious." After all, Tang San had never seen this kind of soul tool before. He couldn't help but want to explore it.
"Get out of here." Du Hao rolled his eyes at Tang San but still explained: "This thing's hypnosis effect can only be used when someone is unconscious."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go around spreading warmth."
