"12. Boastful Conch) "
"Any absurd statement uttered has a chance of becoming a reality."
"The more absurd and unconventional the words spoken, the greater the chance of them coming true. Price: 300 billion Gold Soul Coin."
Isn't this, in a sense, a case of words becoming law?
Without hesitation, Cao Yu immediately bought it, and instantly his wealth balance was reduced to only about 300 billion.
In that instant, he felt like he had become poor again, and he always felt that the system was the biggest winner behind the scenes.
Having understood his thoughts, the system said somewhat speechlessly, "The system serves the host exclusively, assisting the host on the path to becoming a powerful being. It is not part of the biggest winner behind the scenes. Please be aware of this."
Cao Yu had nothing to say about the system's bluntness, so he asked, "What is the success rate of this 'Boastful Conch?"
"The success rate depends on how the host speaks; please operate accordingly."
"Then... what will I do if I don't have a deity in the future?"
After all, judging from the current situation, there's a high chance that Tang San, this "cheap father-in-law," will hinder his ascension to godhood, or obstruct Cao Yu's other girlfriends.
At this moment, the system said, "There's nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, then double it!"
After Cao Yu inquired, the system did not provide a specific answer, only stating that his conditions were not yet met and that the corresponding product could not be activated at this stage.
Looks like I'll have to work harder on my training again, trying to unlock these so-called "products" from the system as soon as possible.
So during this time, in addition to his usual cultivation, Cao Yu also tried to use the Boastful Conch Shell.
However, it can hardly be called a treasure, because the success rate is ridiculously low.
The odds are even lower than winning the lottery in the real world.
He made so many wishes that he forgot what he said, and he had no idea which ones came true and which ones didn't.
The odds of him succeeding by Boastful Conch were completely unpredictable, leaving him feeling utterly uncertain.
Cao Yu even suspected that the odds of Boastful Conch were like winning a lottery in a modern game—all you'd get was "Thank you for your patronage."
This is such a headache!
After finishing his meal, Cao Yu went back to the research institute alone and started fiddling with his Boastful Conch.
He kept muttering to himself, "I can make all the gods in the Divine Realm die of arrogance the moment I step out the door!"
"Gods must not descend to the mortal realm, nor can their divine consciousness enter the mortal world!"
"My skin is as tough as iron, impervious to all laws, eternally immortal, and as long-lived as the heavens!"
"I am instantly invincible, utterly crushing the Divine Realm!"
Cao Yu silently picked up a small knife and made a cut on his hand. Damn it!
There's bleeding!
So, unconvinced, he said it again, took the knife and tried to cut it again, but still failed.
However, the sounds inside the room could still be heard. After all, the office door was half-open, and although the walls provided soundproofing, they weren't very effective at the moment.
Ice Empress looked at Snow Empress with a strange expression, then pointed to Cao Yu's office.
" Snow Empress, do you think this guy is having a relapse? He's been acting strangely these past few days."
After a moment of silence, Snow Empress slowly said, "Hmm, that's possible. Why don't we go take a look? After all, this guy is usually quite nice to us."
"Hmph! Go ahead and go if you want. This guy only ever makes me angry; I don't even want to see him anymore."
Ice Empress felt angry at the thought, crossed her fair legs, and made no attempt to get up to look at him.
"Oh, you're like a little girl who never grows up." Snow Empress chuckled softly, then said, "Alright, I'll go take a look."
Snow Empress slowly walked to the door of Cao Yu's office. Seeing the door half-open, Snow Empress gently pushed it open and discovered an astonishing scene.
This guy was actually stabbing his own arm with a knife. What's wrong with him? He's got such a crazy idea after just a few days apart?
" Little Yu, are you thinking of doing something drastic?"
The Snow Empress's voice reached his ears, Cao Yu slowly raised his head to look at her.
"No, not at all." To ease the awkwardness, Cao Yu could only compliment, " Snow Empress, you look beautiful in your clothes today."
At the same time, he muttered to himself, "She looks better without wearing anything!"
But he didn't know that it was the Boastful Conch in his hand that flashed.
With a loud "bang!"
The Snow Empress's version of "The Emperor's New Clothes" is fresh off the press.
Cao Yu was dumbfounded, and Snow Empress was even more stunned.
Aside from her face turning slightly red, Snow Empress's feelings were even more complicated at this moment.
Although Cao Yu had already seen the moment she successfully transformed, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't embarrassed to suddenly become like this and have him see her again.
Fortunately, the door was already closed, so the people outside couldn't see anything.
Cao Yu rubbed his nose with his hand; this time he was a bit angry, and there were red marks on his hand after rubbing it.
I had no choice but to take out a tissue to wipe it off. I have to say, Boastful Conch really does work.
Snow Empress hurriedly took out new clothes from her Storage Soul Tool.
After a while, he said:
"What... happened just now?"
Cao Yu didn't answer, continuing to mutter softly, "It looks better without it on."
However, this time it didn't work. But Snow Empress noticed his Xiaoxiao move and grabbed his ear.
"Alright, Little Yu, where did you learn these crooked tricks? Tell me honestly!"
"No, no, Snow Empress, do you believe me? This was all perfectly normal!"
"I don't believe you, you big idiot!"
As Snow Empress thought about what had just happened to her, she couldn't help but tighten her grip even more.
That jerk is so indecent!
Cao Yu reluctantly retreated into the demiplane; he had just been thoroughly bullied by the Snow Empress.
Both ears were twisted until they were red, and they still sting.
Soon the Immoral Dog came over, accompanied by two female wolves and four puppies, short, chubby, and looking especially cute.
It's obvious without even guessing that this is the offspring of Immoral Dog.
He picked one up, while the remaining puppies kept pawing at his legs.
"Woof! Woof~"
The puppy kept wagging its tail, trying to be friendly to Cao Yu, Cao Yu, of course, didn't hold back and kept stroking its little head.
At this moment, the Immoral Dog spoke up, "Master, isn't my little son Wangcai especially cute?"
"Hmm, that's good. Is there enough food I prepared?"
"Master, there's still quite a bit left."
The two female wolves beside it also wagged their tails at Cao Yu in a submissive manner.
"Okay, if we don't have enough to eat later, we can go out and buy more."
After saying that, Cao Yu sat on the ground and played with several puppies while talking to the Boastful Conch.
Before long, the Immoral Dog, curious, also came over. "Master, what is that? I want to play with it too."
Getting a little bored, Cao Yu handed it to the Immoral Dog, saying, "Alright, you can play with it."
"Master, how do I do this?"
Cao Yu explained, "The more absurd and illogical something is, the more likely it is to come true."
The Immoral Dog immediately became interested; it felt it was something it excelled at!
It thought of a local delicacy and exclaimed, "The dung has blossomed on the tree!"
Suddenly, the ground in the demiplane trembled, and a tree five or six meters tall grew out of the ground.
Then it slowly blooms, but its scent is rather unusual.
Cao Yu couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
"Damn it! A leopard can't change its spots...!"
